THE HIGH SCHOOL
DEDICATION
Friday, April 4, the Biggest Day in
the History Of the County.

About ten years ago the first idea
of county high school knocked at
the door of the good people of
Trego county. To have the advan-
tages of a high school education
for their children, to be in the line of
progressive Kansas counties, Trego
citizens decided to push the idea to a
conclusion To this end a special
bill was presented in the state legis-
lature of 1903 by DIR. A. B. Jones au-
thoriZing the organization of coun-
ty high school under the regular
county high school law. This bill
was passed and at the general cleo
tion of 1904 the proposition was sub
mltted to the voters of the county,
carried by handsome majority and
agreeable to the election returns the
county commissioners in their jan
uary meeting, 1905, appointed the
following board of trustees: Frank
Eaton, Palco, Kan, C. c. Yetter,
Keraus, Wa-Keeney, Kan, L. S. My
erly, Collyer, Kan, and Thomas o.
Toole, Banner, Kan These met. or
ganlzed their board and proceeded in
the organization of the school. They
secured from district No. l the use of
its school building and continued in
1t until March 1, 1913. They secured
as instructors for their high school J.
Ell. Niesley and Florence NJ. Beatty,
and on September 5, 1905, the school
was opened. Forty-two students en-
rolled in the work of the courses Of
fered and in February, 1906, the serv-
ices of Mary E. Kepner were secured,
and the institution accredited by the
state university. Since this time
nothing has interfered with its ac-
credited standing. Nineteen hun
dred and seven found 81 enrolled:
1908, 80; 1909, 81; 1910, 1O1; 1911, "a:
1912, 100; 1913, ITO. The percentage

list of government reports and cur
rent literature.
The increasing numbers, the desire
for wider range of work, the crowded
condition of the rented quarters de-
manded change and the proposition
to vote bonds in the sum of $40, 900
was put before the people of the
county February. 1912. In spite of
the crop failures of the previous
summer and depressing conditions of
very trying winter, the rich educa-
tional sentiment of the county pre-
vailed and the bonds were carried.
They were sold. J. G. Holland s.
Son, architects of Topeka, were Sc
cured to design the new structure
and the contract let to Sanneman
Bros. of Greene, Kan, for the con-
struction of the new high school
building. The work of construction
began in August. The building was
completed and turned over to the
board of trustees February 26, 1913,
just few days more than a year
after bonds were voted
This magnificent three story build
ing, Il shaped, has front of 7S feet
and depth of 70 feet
The lower story is divided into
rooms as follows: Manual training,
gymnasium, girls and boys toilet,
furnace room and cloak room with
exits north and south from the corri-
dor. You reach the second floor by
two stairways where are found sci
ence rooms equipped with modern
apparatus for teaching physics, bot
any and agriculture. There are do
mestic science rooms with modern
equipment and class rooms. The
third floor is reached by two stair
ways On this floor is the principals
office, study hall, rest room, library,
the principals class room and an
auditorium to accommodate 400 peo-
pie.

ment in 1905 to 20 1l-1OO per cent in
1909. Including the graduating class
of 1913, 80 young people have been
graduated from the Trego County
High School. Forty-four are teach

schools of our county. Thirty have

institutions of learning of our state
and others are filling positions of
honor and trust in their communi-

ing in numbers corresponding in
crease has been made in equipment
in all departments, and the standard
of work done has been proportionately
stronger. The fourth teacher added
in 1908, the fifth in 1911, has made it
possible to demand instructors who
have specialized in the work of their
departments. Agriculture, domestic
science and normal training courses
were added to the classical, normal
and general courses formerly offered
and the improvement is marked
The county high school board has
adopted the plan of a regular yearly
appropriation for library purposes
and thus the library has grown to 952
volumes in science, literature, his

reference works There Is also fine

Oklahoma and Texas are shipping
200,0 bales of cotton to Japan and
India this year. and the forty mills in
the new state where cotton seed oil is
pressed out produces over 200, 900. 600
pounds of cotton seed oil cake which
is food for over 100000 steers. These
cattle are fattened on the oil cake
and hulls from these forty mills. and
come into the state from the rich
pastures from the Usage and Creek
Indian countries, the panhandle
district and even from the ranges in
Western Kansas and Texas. How
important is this branch of the cot
ton seed oil business can be better
understood when it is known that
Oklahoma can feed 10000 head of
cattle alone from her oil mills. One
hundred days suffice to fatten steer
for market and in that time he will
consume ton of cotton seed hulls.
Hull-fed cattle furnish the bulk of
the meat-after the holidays--Ex.

Most of the litter around the usual
private grounds consists of ashes, tin
cans, feathers and waste paper. The
latter two may be burned at home.
Ashes should be placed in pile in a
convenient place. Bones and tin cans
should be dropped in box near the
alley. If every family would dispose
of its trash in this way, the marshal
with one man and a team could clean
up the whole town in two days.

Another evidence of the abortiye,
immature nature of the new fee and
salary law is to be found in the pro-
visions regarding the salary of the
clerk of the district court In coun-
ties having a population of 1000 to
5000 he is to have salary of 5000,
and the very next line of the law.
provides the same salary in counties
having a population of 5000 to. 5000.
This same law provides the same
salary for the clerk of the common
pleas court, Notwithstanding there is
not court of common pleas in the

NEW YORK COTTON

New York, Sept 20--Tae cotton market was active and more or less excited during today's trading with prices making new high records for the season on general buying Decem. Der contracts sold up to 1346, or SIX points above the previous best level and approximately S4 per bale above the low figures of last week. There was naturally heavy realizing on thA advance to practically the 13 1-3 cent level, but offerings were well absorb ed and the close was steady at a net advance of 12 to 16 points
 There was a big demand on the opening owing to higher cables, un- favorable wealth in the couth, contin- ued poor crop accounts and reports that Texas exporters were laying down on some of their contracts for forward shipment. Private advices at- tributed the advance in Liverpool to covering against the deelopments in the southwest and the local market steadied at an adance of two to eight points. Sold out longs appered to be replacing part of their cotton while there was covering by recent sellers for a reaction, fires hbull support and further trade buying.
 The reports from Liverpool that Texas shippers had defaulted on some of their export engagements attracted a good deal of attention. Such reports are quite frequently in evidence Gnr- ing seasons of rapidly advancing prices but are generally regarded as indicating either a short yield or diff ficulty in securing required grades.
 London cables reported q better prospect for the settlement of labor troubles and reviews of the dry goods markets indicating a continued active demand, doubtless helped the advance.

ENGLAND MAY QUIT

London, Sept 20.--lf the wishes of majority of British sportsmen are followed, Great Britains last appear. ance in the Olympic games will DC 2. Berlin in 1916 This sentiment is steadily growing and public opinion would favor withdrawing from the Olympic organization immediately ex. cept for two reasons first, the Ger mans might construe the withdrawal as due to anti-German prejudices. and second, other nations might think that after the poor showing the team made at Stockholm, Great Britain was un. able to hold it's own against other countries.
 The policy advocated by the most influential men in the English world of sport is to send a representative, well trained delegation to Berlin, and then withdraw gracefully. The req lief that the Olympic games are be- coming semi-professional contests in- sons behind this policy lie in the be. stead of fulfilling the purpose of their founders which was to create interest and friendship they have had the op- posite effect Theodore Cook, the most influential member of the Brit ish Olympic counsel, in discussing the matter, said today:
 "Personally. 1 am of the opinion that as soon as we have decided that team can be sent to Berlin we should also decide to withdraw from the games in the future, at a date pre- yious to the choice of the city, at which the games will be held in 1920 say this in spite of my belief that preparations for the Olympic games and competition in this country, be- cause we seem too much inclined to take things easy, to avoid all trouble and to play our games among our selves, whether other people play them better or not"
 The response to the appeal for $500, GOO as an Olympic fund for the British aAthletes continues apathetic.
