Olothe Teacher Has
.Skirmish Win Pupil.

Last Tuesday little unpleasantness
occurred between Prof. Hayworth of
the local high school and Lloyd Moser,
one of his pupils. 1t seems that the
boy, who came in tardy, was bidden by
the professor to return home and bring
an excuse for his hardness. Upon his
refusal to do so, Prof. Hayworth in
formed him that he must either obey
the mandate or take the punishment
which his disobedience merited. The
lad guessed he'd take the lickin" and
proceeded to do so forwith. He resist
ed to the limit of his ability, however,
which necessitated some quite rough
treatment on the part of the teacher.
The two scutiied with each other and
exchanged several blows, the professor
having the better of the exchanges.
When the conflict was over considerable
gore had been split
The school directors were called in to
pass upon the case, and the youth was
reprimanded for his disobedience and
informed that he must bring the excuse
the following day, which he did. 1t is
unfortunate that such means were
necessary to secure obedience, but

FRUIT A GREAT
j PROPOSITION
A Full Crop Would Mean
Millions of Crates.
Railroads Would Be Taxed to
Handle Crop, Perhaps
Unable to Do So.

People when calculating upon "a full
fruit crop" seldom stop to think what
would be the result of full fruit crop
in Delta county.
1t would mean the bearing of ten
million trees which would require an
army of 10000 people to harvest.
These trees, yielding but five boxes
each, would mean so, 900, 900 boxes of
fruit. In carload lots this would mean
5000. In trains of twenty cars each,
it would mean $50 solid train loads of
fruit, or about five train loads per day
for each day of the packing season.
This estimate must be regarded as
over conservative for full crop for
our $1,000 acres of orchard.

pay large returns. both directly and

already getting all the business there

The cheering news comes from a
Chaffee county paper, that, in response
to requ asts, the officials of the Colorado

vestigations of the Delta county field

enc )iraginy assurance that something

do so than the rich resources of this

everything is real, while to my notion
city life is unreal, make-belief and put

shine in abundance, the beautiful fields
of waving grain. the birds singing, the
trees right at the door, our own fresh
eggs, butter, milk, vegetables, fruit
and everything that might be men
toned. And then the best part of it is
our children can play from morn to
night without quarreling with other
children in a little cramped back yard
We know where they are and the COM
pany they keep. They may not always
be dressed up or as clean as city chill

dirt and affects their clothes and not
their souls, so no city life for me sc

favorable consideration the establish

follow as natural consequence. With
