Some college boys In northwestern
Kansas are proving that boys can
attend college on 81 week. Last
year seven of them formed the Stole
club, and attended school all year on
an average cost, per boy, Of Sill per
week That is it cost each boy just
Sill per week for room and board.
This year they are going to live a lit
tie better and spend Slips. How is
this for low in time of high cost of
living? A Kansan can do anything
he sets his head to do. "To the stars
through difficulties" is our Kansas
motto.
Mount Aetna is throwing out more

A physician proclaims that he has

Recently in Flagstaff, Arizona, a
very clear photograph of the canals

1t is interesting to note that Agri-
culture is at last being recognized as
a science and allotted dignitied po-
sition in the schools Even farmers
should be educated for proficiency
and boys choosing profession may
look up instead Of down should they
choose to till the soil. Agriculture
is the greatest of all industries, for it
makes wealth while it creates man.
hood, There is something especially
attractive and soul inspiring about
digging in the dirt, and more espec-
tally If that dirt is your own, Re-
member how old Antaens gained in
strength every time he touched the
earth with any part of his body. See
how children like to play In the dust
and make mud pies, and pies usually |
increase in direct ratio to the num-
Der of spanRings received.
A witness in the prosecution for a

We wonder what bow or girl in the
county can tell US the pages on which
the words In the first bi-monthly ex-
animation are found.
The words given the fifth and sixth
grades should be found between pages
81 and 20 In Rathburn's Speller with
a little allowance for few words
from the other branches, The words
given the seventh and eighth grades
should be found between lessons II
and SO in part Ill of the Rathburn
Speller. Also review lessons 10 to 80
inclusive. Many teachers have re-
ported to us low grades in Spelling
and Reading. We wonder why. Is
the trouble with the teacher, the pu-
pill, or the questions?
Phelps And His Teachers.

"All right, Miss Anderson. We
can do that all right, can't we, son.
Come right along now, Phelps, and
let me seat you. Bless my heart!
Where will l put you? Now really!
Well let me see, Here, Phelps, we
will put you here, son. There you
are snug as a kitten"
