One night some one, believed to be in
sympathy with the strikers, fired a shot
into the Union Pacific roundhouse in
Salina, the bullet whizzing just over
head of a boilermaker in the building.
On another night a brick crashed
through a. window and a boilermaker
narrowly escaped. Several times sus-
picious looking strangers have been sent
from the railroad yards.
At different times, since the strike
began, many strikebreakers have been

burn Left Half, Who Was Elected
Captain of Next Years Football
Team.
Tonmy's place at lefthalf. which he
has played two seasons here and four
years in the Eskridge high school af-
for1s him a advantageous position for
captainiag a team. He is well liked by
his teammates In both seasons Tom
linson has played here he has had bro
Aken bones which kept, him out of a
humber of games or removed him from
the one he particularly desired to stay
through. In the season just closed it
was the Thanksgiving game with the
Aggies. He broke his shoulder in the
first quarter and had to be relieved
when he knew the whole team and
student body was depending upon him
for place kicks to win the game. That
the game was lost by the failure to add
goal to touchdown is attributed to the
fact that he had been retired. His place
kicks were needed to win but he was
no longer there to kick them. That he
can kick them has been demonstrated
on the field and when he was in high
school. his team, instead of punting.

NEW EXCUSE IS GIVEN OUT.

Others for Slack in Work.


SaIina, Kan, Dec. 12.-H. Leone Mil
Ter, president of the Winnipeg, Salfna
& Gulf railroad, does not expect trou-
bic at the directors meeting when 1t is
finally held here.
Explaining the difference that arose
at the recent meeting Mr.. Miller sta
ted that the men here simply wanted to
annul the contract with the Brindley
Construction company of New York be-
cause that company had failed to get
its directors here on the date for the
annual meeting
Miller said that the representatives.
Whitehead and Perry, could not get
sway because of a legal tangle in con-
struction work that company is doing
now in Carolina and he did not think II
fair after that company had already
sunk 10000 into the work to annul the
contract. He therefore refused to en-
terrain such a motion.
Miller said that the reason for the
failure of the appearance of the Brlnd-
lev men was sufficient to justify their
failure to appear. He expects them
here in a short time however at which
time the meeting will be called.

The revolution that began in China
few weeks ago has been spreading
and gaining in force with wonderful
rapidity and the existing government
is wholly unable to cope with it. City
after city and province after province
have joined the revolutionary move
ment. The old sleepy dragon of Chi
ma has been pricked and thoroughly
aroused by the spirit of modern pro-
gress and a new era has dawned for
the Chinese people. The civilization
of the occident has met the civiliza-
ton of the orient and has shown it's
power to change and transform the
habits and thoughts of the people. It
is the same transformation that ia
pan has experienced and which has
made that country great and power
full. The Chinese are just as quick
to learn as the Japanese and will
make their country just as great and
powerful. The other day we read
an account of the building of rail-
road in that country by Chinese en-
gineers exclusively and by Chinese
capital, the topography of the coun-
try being of such nature that the
greatest engineering skill was re-
quired. Reforms in government are
also demanded by, the people who
have declared a republic. The old
dynasty appears to be doomed. Let
us welcome the new republic OF Chi
ma to the sisterhood of nations.

RAGW FED
(By Lee Riggs, Student Warren High
SchOOl) U.s.

(By Lee Riggs, Student Warren High
Schoo1.)
Ragweed les an annual plant found
in rich loamy soils, especially in Min
nesota. 1t has slender and much
branched stems and grows to the
height Of from fifteen to twenty
inches but in rich soils it will grow
to the height of four feet. Kinghead
is the most vigorous of the Ragweed
family and grows from three to six
feet high. The blossoms have a
yellowish tinge but the contrast be-
tween them and the leaves is not
marked. The seeds are small and
helmet shaped and when ripe are of a
dark color. They are produced on
the flower bearing parts of the
branches and are very numerous. This
weed does not develop until late in
the season and it sometimes does not
ripen it's seeds in the grain crops I'M
til after they are harvested or in mea-
dows before they are cut After a
crop has been harvested, they will
sometimes continue to grow in the
stubble till late in the season and
produce enormous crops of seeds.
The seeds, which are very light and
hardy, float easily on water and there
is no agent so potent in effecting their
distribution as water and in low ly-
ing lands their distribution is very
extensive. In the Red River Valley,
where the soil is very rich, they will
spring up and produce a large crop
of seeds after the grain has been cut
seeds are distributed in all the late
maturing cereals such as mammoth
and alsike clover and in the seed of
timothy. 1t is commonly found in
the seed of the red clover for the
reason, that, by the time the clover
| crop is harvested and ready for the
threshing the seeds of the ragWeed
have ripened and so threshing out
with the clover seed. The seeds of
the ragweed are distributed by clover
hullers, by birds and by water. To
eradicate ragweeds the mower should
be used much before they have ma
tured. 1t should be set low to the
ground for the reason that the seeds
are formed sometimes close to the
ground. When meadows or pastures
are infested the ground should be
broken up before the seeds have
chance to mature, or, if this cannot
be done, sheep may be made to rend-
er substantial aid in reducing the
weed if they are allowed to feed upon
it when it is in the early stages of
growth.
