LAWRENCE CLAIMS HONOR.
Manager Downs Insists That They Are

Manager Downs Insists That They Are
Champions OF Kansas.
To the Sporting Editor of the State
Journal:
I feel it is only fair that in the
fight for the high school champion
ship of Kansas, Lawrence be given
the square deal in the press if not on
the football field. Last Friday we
were defeated by Eureka, the score
reason for this defeat was that Eureka
ran in three men who did not take
regular work in school, number of
their men were back in their work,
their team was fixed up for this one
game, their coach was referee, they
were always holding and were new
err penalized and they slugged unmer-
cifully.
Lawrence still claims the high
school championship and we played
Eureka under strictly high school
contract which they broke and which
one of their teachers admitted was of
no consequence as far as their playing
was concerned as they were determin-
ed to beat Lawrence at any cost. After
the game the referee called the
Eureka bunch around him and said:
We'll, you won but had to help YOU
I have in my possession letters from
Superintendent Robb, Manager An
derson in which the contract is stated
and in which they claim to play strict
ly high school men. Later it is proved
that they were untruthful in their
statements to this school. We, as a
high school, still lay claim to the
championship of Kansas and we re-
fuse to consider Eureka on our sched-
ule.

O. always producing wheat even in the
cry years. His way of farming is 70
ir the very best possible shape ana IN
soil that has been carefully cared TOR
and packed in such way that II VIII

doing the same work with teams
would have been three or four times
that incurred with the motor anu
gaSoline engine.
This motor is about 90-horsepower.
At the time of drilling wheat four
DRILLS were used. They covered thirty
six feet at time, the packers beng
hitched just back of the drill SO thae

Most of the land that has been
farmed by this man cost MIN Slo an

The average price for blowing in
Kansas has been 81 an acre where

not include the cost of seeding.

Alexandria. Neb.. Oct. 26, 1909.
My Dear Little F'riend:-I am indeed
sorry if I have n1isjudged you, but you
see 1t was hard to think otherwise af-
ter reading in the papers what you had
said. can't help wishing that in spite
of everything you mad stood Loyalty by
my poor brother, publicly as we'll as
private, but perhaps, as you say, it was
ell for the best It has been terrible
thing for all of us. I know that the
poor boy was not exactly responsible
for his deeds and your refusing to
marry Tim this fall only served 10 make
him more reckless. Papa said he told
mama when he first learned of it that he
was afraid for Ross; afraid that he
would brood and wander. hardly know
ing or caring what he did. I haven't
had one line from. him nor have ! the
smallest inkling as to his whereabouts.
Indeed. I don't suppose he would
know where to reach me, should he
wish to write, but do hope he won't
try to write a letter to anybody. I am
almost afraid though that he has killed
himself after realizing to the full just
what he has done. Poor dear boy.
There have been days when I have al
most cried myself sick, but I try to go
ahead and not think of it. Would you
mind telling me which ring you have?
You speak of having only one. The one
l gave him was signet ring, initial
b. If you really love him and care
for him of course I do not resent your
keeping it, but you can understand that
as I had sent it to him as a Christmas
present didn't relish anybody keeping
it who swore that they hated and
wanted to see him in the pen. I un-
derstand also that he has allowed you
to wear another ring, an emerald I be
lieve, which was a present from my
mother to her father.
If you had that ring you could hardly
wish to keep it, especially as it is not
Ross's but I will leave that to your own
judgment.
Hoped She Meant What She Wrote.
I hope. grille, that you meant every
word you said about loving Ross. If
should ever see or hear from him will
give him your message and should he
ever send word to you you will tell me-
won't you? I am SO glad that you love
him forfhe is very dear to me. I hope
to be able to see you some time. My
mother spoke SO well of you. She loves
you dearly. Write me at Barnsten, Neb
I will be there October %.
