spire Patriotism.

After the rejection Of eight EStion-
al anthems composed in China since
the revolution, that Of the Chinese
minister to Belgium. Wang Yam Pao,
which, together with the song Of the
minister OF agriculture. commerce and
trade, Chang Tsien, belongs to the
latest compositions. is likely to be ac-
cepted by the Chinese government.
Following is a translation Of the first
three stanzas:
China. the sublime mountains and
hxuriant plains attest thy greatness.
Country Of wonders through thy
hoary civilization. thy emperors have
sacrificed themselves in ceding the
rule to the people.
THE people have the supreme pow
er. So mas taught Confucius and
Mengtse. And already in the hoary
times OF Yao and Suen 1t had thus
been announced to the people. The
people is composed of FIVE tribes. The
unity OF the five tribes is past dispute.
Then China is invincible.
Develop the wealth Of the country,
improve agriculture, and make the
people happy. Education and culture
are the achievements Of centuries.
All citizens are equal; for confucius
and Mengtse have taught social equal

The salutation given when a vessel
lovers or dips its flag Is one Of the
oldest and most honorable of all forms
Of marine greeting.
This norm Of salute has always been

DASHED HIS HOPES OF GLORY

John Sharp one night decided that his
country called him 10 arms. The fact
that he was only eleven. and about the
only road be knew was that to the
candy shop, did not deter him Out
in the darkness Of the night the call"
Of his country sounded as loud as the
dinner horn to hungry field hands.
SO young William arose and set
forth down the road in the early dawn.
And as he tramped down the lanes Of
dust, past the still farmhouses over
which hung the early smoke from the
kitchen chimney, he dreamed dreams
Of how he would come back on a

Salina, July 14.-Whether the Kansas
State league season will be heightened
for a period of 80 days or not. is still
problematical, although three clubs are
willing to attempt the proposition.
Great Bend is the club on the fence.
1t is a certainty that Great Bend is
making a financial sacrifice to complete
the present season. Salina, Emporia,
and Hutchinson are all willing to at
tempt to play 30 more games. While
the matter is still unsettled. q definite
answer to the question will likely be
Forthcoming July 10. Great Bend will
play auto-polo ON Friday and Saturday
Of next week. and II the games net
enough money, the hackers of the base
ball team will consider playing a longer
season. Under the present financial
status. the proposition is not practical
President Roy c. 0anord of the Kan
sas State league was in Salina, and
said that he did not think Great Bend
would be able to play a longer season
than the original schedule called for.
The Great Bend management conferred
with Gafford. and the league president
said that Great Bend needed support.
There was something said during the
interview Of the Millers not being able
to finish the present season, but CAT
, ford said it was almost q certainty that
the present season would be completed.
