KANSAS COAMENT
TORNADO SEASON.

1t will do no good to become scared.
But it will pay to use extreme care
in watching the storm clouds which
form off in the southwest. Kansas
has been talked about q great deal
as the home of the festive twister.
While she has never fairly earned that
reputation she is not immune, and
she has the advantage of knowing that
her storms, at least the more destruct-
i've storms, are of one kind and char
acter. They travel from the south
west to the northeast. Other states
have been devastated by numerous
storms this spring. The season is
here There is no disgrace in running
if you are scared A live coward safe
ly esconced in the sheltering haven
of the southwest corner of a convent
ent cellar beats a dead bully and
brave who thinks he can successfully
combat the fury of the Lord Almighty
as evidenced in a tornado. Beware of
the storm cloud.-Newton Republican.

STOP THE MOVIES?
Is it possible that the great state of
Kansas has started something in her
moving picture law? Has the meas
ure been so drawn that 1T is to put a
crimp in the exhibition of motion
views for the entertainment of the
thousands, day and night, all over the
state? Surely the Democratic legisla-
ture didn't do this! Surely more care
was taken with the law regarding
movies than this? Some people might
joke about the moving picture shows
but their withdrawal from business
would be, for a time, a real calamity
They fill a place not otherwise filled.
There are thousands of most excellent
and entertaining films shown, night
after night, and the lack of this sort
of entertainment would be a sudden
change in the manner of living, for a
good many people, stanter Let us all
hope that some way may be found to
keep the motion views passing before
the bright light to fill the place that
must be filled in some other manner
if this method of entertainment would
suddenly come to an end.-Hutchin-
son News.

T. Washington. The pupils in this in
stitution of learning will get from it
little enough algebra and less physics
But they will come away from it with
practical knowledge of the workaday side
of life, which is their largest need.
AS SchoolhouSe a neat cottage replaces
the forlorn, familiar rambling shack. The
family both live and teach there.
Everything about the house is treated
as an object lesson to the boys and the
girls. Girls learn cooking and housekeep-

They prepare the morning meal under the
eye of the mother teacher.
Boys work at farming, gardening and
farm carpentry. Not only with tools, but
in figuring the cost in labor and materials
Their work in English and grammar lies
in written description of the work.

The grandest gal he'd ever seen:
That no one had no eyes like her'n-
AT least so fur as he could learn.
He said he'd never seen SO rare
And gorgeous a display of hair

And hoped she wouldn't take offense

He said he'd Travelled all round
And never had he heard sound
| So musical as was her voice,
She was his one and only choice
| He'd give her all he had to give
| Without her he could never live;
No friend was by, his speech to stay.
He wound up in the usual way
She gave to him her maiden heart
1t was a cinch right from the start.

He had no chance to get away.

And tied and shackled hard and fast.
He didn't know what he had said.

Years later in an old house gown,

And ready for the daily spat,
He wonders how in thunder she
Could have inspired the ecstacy
Upon that great momentous night,
On which he made and won his fight.
