WASHBURN.

Present indications are that the year
1913-1914 will be a banner one in the
life of Washburn college. The en-
rollment will be larger than in the
past few years when it has averaged
500 students. And regardless of handi-
caps of one sort and another, Re de-
velopment of this fine institution is
growing in all directions. New depart
ments have been added. Its roster of
professors and instructors is larger
than ever before. In fact, it is better
equipped in every particular for the
discharge of it's important functions
than at any time in it's history.
In material way it is safe to assert
that altogether too many Topc,Sans fail
far short of approaching the immense
value of Washburn as a Topeka asset
During eight or nine months OF the
year the big sum of money in the
aggregate that it takes to support the
student and teaching bodies is spent
almost entirely in this city. Many
families of means from all parts OIL
Kansas and other nearby states make
their homes here for the express pur-
pose of giving their boys and girls the
advantages of Washburn under loea'
conditions. And the bulk OF these goou
people make their residence here per-
manent, even after their children nave
finished their college courses. WASH
burn, as a matter of fact, has played
a most important part in the SUI
stsntiaI development of Topeka, anu
its thriving presence here is among
the very best of the city's advertise
ments.
For these reasons Washburn is
worthy of the hearty support and en-
enlargement of Topekans in every pos
sible way. Considering the fact that II
has to compete for it's students with
three large and excellent institutions
of higher learning that are supported
most literally by the state, the grown
and prominence that Washburn mas
attained is little short of remarkable.
They are all the testimony needed OF
the real worth of the institution, ana
the intelligence and efficiency with
which it has been and is conducted
Washburn's many glories of the past
are TO be supplanted by fresher ana
larger glories in the future. Three
cheers, three hearty cheers for Wash
burn.

EVENING CHAT
Some Rules for Repartee.
BY RUTH CAMERON.


Don't hurry so. Take it easy and
keep your eye on the ball; by and by
when you get the hang of it you can
speed up
That is the advice I heard an ex-
pert tennis player give beginner the
other day.
The beginner had been defeating
ne tried to play. He would tumble
all over himself in his headlong
haste, miss the ball because he didn't
stop to get his eye on it properly.
and retire from his sally GREATNESS
and already half-defeated by his own
waste Of energy.
AS soon as he began to take the
experts advice, he improved rapidly.
sometimes he would miss a return
because he advanced too slowly or
took too long to get his eye on the
pail, but his percentage of failures
rapidly diminished. Moreover, the
amount of energy he used was stead
lily less, and his efficiency and hold
on himself was steadily greater.
Why am 1 retailing all this to an
audience in which possibly one out of
q hundred is interested in tennis?
because it seems to me that the same
adv1ce which the expert gave the be-
g1nner in tennis is good advice for
the beginner in other games, other

apply to the beginner in the great
game of repartee, or to take a broad

If you want to learn to talk well,
begin by talking slowly Even when
the talk is merely in the nature of
repartee, think before you speak

your mind just how hard you want

HOW CROPS ROB THE SOIL.

A contributor to Farm and Fireslde,
the national farm paper publlshed at
Springfield, O., says that few farmers
realize the actual value of the fertility
of which they are continually rooblng
their soil. The article goes on TO say
AN acre of wheat deprives the soil
of forty-five pounds of nitrogen, TWEEN
ty-three pounds of phosphoric acid and
thirty pounds of potash. On the mar
ket. nitrogen is worth seventeen cents
per pound, phosphoric acid seven cents
per pound, and potash four cents per
pound Therefore the actual money
value of the nitrogen removed from the
soil by an acre of wheat is $7.65; OF
phosphoric acid, $1.61, and of potash,
120, making a total loss of Sl046 per
acre per year. If the farmer raises
twenty acres of wheat per year for
twenty-five years the loss will be
So, 23O.
Each acre of oats consumes fifty
pounds of nitrogen, twenty pounds OF
phosphoric acid and forty pounds of
potash. Therefore, the market value OF
the elements consumed is $500 worth
of nitrogen, $1.40 worth of phosphoric
acid and s1.40 worth of potash, making
a total of $11.30 worth of fertility per
acre that is lost through the crop.
I'm the same way an acre of corn
will take from the soil $3.50 worth of
fertility, provided both the grain and
fodder are removed. If you have fifty
acres in corn, 1925 worth of fertility is
removed each year. In twenty years
you will have taken out $1S,500 worth
of the elements necessary to produce
a good crop. In twenty years fifty
acres of tobacco will remove $4,000
worth of the soils plant-food; in the
same time fifty acres of cotton will
consume about $4,000 worth, and bar
ley will use over $4,000 worth.
Should you raise fifty acres of
wheat, fifty acres of oats and fifty
acres of corn for twenty years on your
farm, the money value of the elements
removed from the soil will be over
$40, 000 Is it any wonder, then, that
the farms begin to wear out, when you
fail to return those elements to the soil
which are necessary to produce a
crop?"
