fourth and sixth hours. The eighth
hour is reserved for the upper class
men,,
A rule was adopted last spring Dy
the faculty that made drill or physi-
cal training optional with sopho-
mores. 1t was learned later that
one years drill of four days a week
did not fill the requirements OF the
War Department. So the rule was
suspended asd sophomores will con-
tinue to drill until some other ar
rangements are made.
1t has been recommended that a
rule be passed requiring drill only
three hours a week for two years.
This would more than fill the re.

rie state. 1t is a large sum, and
it has grown out of the ground, uo-
cause Kansas is state of wonderful
agricultural resources.
Kansas expects to market the larg-
est crop of wheat in her history tn
year and it will not fall far below
the hundred million mark, this be-
ing nearly twice the measure of
year ago. In dollars this means
W alth of almost uncountable extent.
In corn Kansas Is expecting yield
OF more than two hundred and ten
million bushels. which is nearly twice
as much as year ago. And the
present price proves a feature il.
prosperity addresses.
There is. an increase in the size
of the oats crop of about sixty-six
per cent. this year as compared with
a year ago, and the value adds much
to the bank account.
These are few of the reasons
why Kansas is proud. And there
are many others, for the returns
from all the other agricultural and
the horticultural resources of the
state add a great deal to the granG
total of its wealth.
And Kansas has only scratched the
soil. She has not come in sight of
the limit of productiveness. She can
greatly surpass this yield, in all
crops, with better farming methods
She intends to talk of these methods
at the State Wide Conference here Ia
November. Hutchinson News.

THE PROGRESS OF PROGRESS
SIVES


We meet people VINO want to know
what a progressive is, anyhow. Per-
haps it is fairly defined as "a man
who has improved on his past opin-
lions. COntrariwise, the standpatter
is a man whose opinions are no bet
ter than they were. ProgresslVes'
then, differ according to the past
views that they have progressed from.
The sitting of the progressives is
the most interesting political pro-
ceeding now going on. 1t is auto
matte. Every progressive is trylnt
to find out what he is and what cand-
idate he belongs for. 1t is to laugh
at the struggles Of these excellent
people to place themselves. Thy can
go with Roosevelt or go with Wilson,
or stay with the republican party In
spite Of Taft. Yes, lin spite of Taft,
but Taft is really progressive, too
only he can't keep up. What is attrac-
tive about Roosevelt is not so mucl
that superior progressiveness OF mis-
political disclosures as his speed. A
good many good men went with hin
because they thought that he would
get somewhere. Some OF them still
think 80, but most Of his present ad-
herents must be sticking to him eth
err because they are ashamed to quit
or because they want to beat Taft
and are not willing to vote for dem
ocrat.-Life.

CATCHING Humminu Birds.

Just catch few. w were weeks
In catching even one. For more than
a year, at odd moments. we tried.
Many methods were used-lnsect nets,
birdlime. a spray OF water, open win
dOws with flowers inside and, finally.
trap. At last. Could 1t really be?
| hardly dared trust my senses. Yes
1t was a humming bird squeak that
came from the little bag. and the boy
asked IL | was the lady who would
pay dollar for a cumming bird. 1t
must be! How had he caught it? IN
der his cap. How strange! And had
1t ruby throat? He wasn't sure.
Well, we could find that out.
Doors were closed and locked and
screens carefully placed in every win
dow. Then the wonderful bag was
cautiously opened. Way down in the
bottom crouched the dear. funny little
bird. with his bright eyes looking us
straight in the face and his long bill
pointing at sharp angle from the
wee body. Just baby one. Would.
he die Of fright? He did not attempt
to fy out. so we tore open the side Of
the bag to where he sat. but he did not
move. Then, placing my finger gently
under his toes and lifting slowly be-
held the jewel upon my hand. -Kath-

KANsAS Is pRnrn

Is there any wonder that Kansas
puts her thumbs in her vest holes
and struts this season? Is there any
wonder she is pulled up with pride
She has enlarged her bank account
until it wouldn't be recognized by
residents of a dozen years ago, if
they had gone away, only to come
back now.
Kansas will have more than one
hundred and twelve million dollar
more this year. for her three crops
