Leonard Hall lost To the Mechanics
vile team at that place on Saturday
last by u score of 10 too.
The game was closely contested from
the start, both sides alternating in
the lead: and il was not until the ninth
inning that the home team was cnahl-
ed to bring the winning tally across
the pan.
Herbert was in the box for the visi-
tors, and, although he got bad start
frightened up after the third. inning.
He received poor support throughout
tine game however, ii errors being
charged to his teammates.
The feature of the game was the
hitting of Herbert and the scoring of
Camalier. The former made three
hits in as many trips to the plate.
while the latter contributed four to
the nine runs made by his team.
Holmes twirled for the local bows
and was hit hard. The Scholastic
punched hits in several innings, and
1t was only good fielding that held the
visitors to their total of y runs.
The Leonardtown boys missed the
work of Becker in right garden. as his
presence in that position would most
likely have cut of several of the To-
Gals hits.
Baseball enthusiasts throughout the
county should not fail to see sext
Saturdays game at Leonardtoxn.
when the fast SurrattSville team of
Prince Georges county will battle with
the Leonard Hall nine.
The former team has already annex
cd several important victories to its
credit, and as the Leonard Hall bows
are determined tn obtain retribution
for their recent loss ut Surrattsville,
the contest should be an interesting
one. The score:

the $4,000 bonds against the

The Kansas Womans Christian
Temperance Union, 10000. strong, &C
cording to its president. Mrs Lillian
Kitchener, will go into politics in
Kansas this year
Mrs. Kitchener says there will be
more than 700 meetings, either held
by or participated in by the w G.

and candidates are to be discussed.
About 500 w. c. T. U. institutes will

Ninety counties are organized by the
union and every one will hold coun-
ty union convention. At each of ten
chautauquas in the state this summer
time viii be given the w. c. T. u. to
present the matters they stand for.
In August district w. c. T. U. CON

nine union districts of the state. The
big concluding meeting will be the
state convention, at Fort Scott in Oc-
tober.
Our organization is bipartisan,
said Mrs Kitchener I'VE have de-
clared for certain laws which we think
the next legislature should enact. We
will place all of these before our audi

thoroughly. We will take up the plat
form of every party which puts out a
ticket in Kansas this year and thor
oughly discuss every plank they con-

candidates themselves. We are going
into politics, but we will be nonlUarti

COLLEGE EDUCATION FREE
Chancellor Strong Plans University
Mail Course for Convicts in
State Penitentiary.

A college education by correspon-
dence for every prisoner in the state
penitentiary will be possible if the
plan originated by Chancellor Frank
Strong and Prof. D. C. Croissant OF
the University Extension Division is
adopted by the Board of Administra-
ton. Chancellor Strong would have
the privileges of the extension divis-
ion, including vocational training by
correspondence, offered to convicts at
the penitentiary at the expense of the
state. The details of the plan will be
worked out by the board of correc-
tions.
BY this means a man could learn
to be self supporting" said Chan
cellor Strong in discussing the prison
plan, and when he was released he
would not be an incubus on the COM
munity. Then, too the convict might
take an elementary course In Amer1-
can government which possibly would
make him a better citizen.
The plan as Professor CroiSsant
and | have worked out seems prac-
t1ca BILE, and 1 have no doubt but that
the board will accept it. The board
believes in making the University OF
as much use as possible to the people
of the state. And a little college
education in the penitentiary certain
1y IS being placed where it has an
| opportunity to do the greatest good.

K.U. HELPS FARMERS
State Experts in "BugoIogy"
Saved Millions for Kan
Sas Last Year.
BOTH GOOD AND BAD INSECTS
Department. of Entomology Has Been
Kept Busy in Aiding Growers
to Fight Pests.

Mans greatest enemies are bugs
But on the other hand, some of his
best friends are those in the insect
world And it is to find out these
relations and make the best use OF
them for the Kansas farmer that the
entomology department of the Univer-
sity of Kansas is working. In the past
wear the department has carried on
work of great benefit to the state, and
the results have been set forth in the
chronological Number of the Science
Bulletin of the University just issued.
Among the principal services per-
formed are investigation in alfalfa
culture determination of the econom-
ic importance of insects, direction of
the spraying of orchards, investiga-
ton of the horse plague in western
Kansas, inspection of nursery stock,
devising of methods to kill green bugs,
grasshoppers and other insect pests,
and aid to federal and state govern
ment in drafting legislation against
the importation of insect pests.
The alfalfa yield of the state mas
been increased one-third by methods
of culture devised by the University
of Kansas entomology experts, and
now used throughout the state. The
Lawrence scientists were the first to
show that bees improve the alfalfa
yield and in furtherance of their ideas
they distributed free four thousand
copies of an illustrated manual on bee
culture throughout the state.
In the survey of orchards last year,
1,142,466 trees were examined and
i62 $50 sprayed under the direction of
the department. The San Jose Scale
and the Brown Tail moth have been
detected by inspection upon their first
invasion of Kansas, and as promptly
eradicated. Detailed insect life sur
veys have been furnished in So coun-
ties, and collections of mounted in
sects have been furnished free of
charge to high schools for experiment
tai work
