MAY GIVE DANCE ANYWAY.
Senior Class at Manhattan Busy in
Business Way.

Manhattan, Kan, March 16.-
Members of the dance faction of the
senior class of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college are talking of holding
a class dance OVER the protest of the
board of educational administration,
which decided recently that such a
dance could not be held on the
campus.
The boards decision reached the
college last Saturday and there inn
mediately sprung up desire among
those in favor of the dance to appeal
from the decision of the chair" There
was a feeling that the board had over
stepped its authority. There arose
some talk of holding the dance some
where downtown but that idea was
soon abandoned because the city does
not support a hall that would be large
enough. This caused the suggestion
to be made that the dance be taken to
Fort Riley where there is a large floor.
The dissatisfied element, however,
has finally decided to proceed in a
business like manner. 1t will ask the
board to change its decision. A petit
ton. providing for this action, has
been circulated among the members
Of the class and has been signed by
1872 seniors who wish to dance. This
is nineteen more than voted for the
dance at a class meeting held in Feb
ruary. The vote then was 143 for the
dance and 102 against it.

Watch Carefully

Start Them Off Right With Good
Laxative and Then Watch
Their Food.

Mothers are often unconsciouslly
very careless about the diet of their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different persons.
Hence, avoid what seems to cOnstipate
the child or to give it indigestion. and
urge it to take more of what is quickly
diYested.
If the child shows a tendency to
constipation it should Immediately be
given a mild laxative to help the bow
els BY this is not meant physic or
purgative, for these should never be
given to children, nor anything like
salts, pills, etc. What the child re-
uuires is simply a small dose Of the
gentlest of medicines, such as DR..
Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin, which. in the
opinion of thousands of watchful
mothers, is the ideal remedy for any
child showing a tendency to constipa-
tor. So many things can happen to
a constipated child that care is
necessary. Colds. piles. headaches.
sleeplessness, and many other annoy
ances that children should not have

carried on first honors in a seven
year corn test at the Kansas Agricul-
tural college. It gave an average yield
Of So bushels an acre every year. In
the seven years work 226 varieties and
strains OF corn were tried out. The re-
suits Of this work. published this week
In college bulletin, Corn" written
by A. NJ TenEyck, formerly OF the ag-
ricultural college, show Kansas farmers
what varieties may be depended upon
to give the best yields in this state.
Though the variety. Kansas Sunfiow-
er, is placed first in the list OF the ten
best varieties it is only slightly superior
to other goOC producing types. mas
much as the best varieties vary In pro-
ductiveness. No one variety Of corn
is best under all conditions. the test
shows. The high yielding varieties
vary with the year although high
yields are a matter Of breed or type
rather than a matter of color or ma
turing season. Here are the other nine
varieties which showed superiority over
the many types tested, given In the
order of their average yields for the
seven years: Hogue's yellow dent. yell
low dent, medium early: McAuley,
white dent; medium late: Forsythe's
Favorite, white dent, medium to medi-
UNI late; Hammett white dent. medium
early; Leaning, yellow dent. medium
early; Hildreth. yellow dent. late; Boone
County White, white dent. medium to
medium early: Reds Yellow dent. yell
low dent, medium early; Legal Tender,
yellow dent, medium to medium early.
In the more favored sections Of the
state, on the better farming lands. the
medium or late maturing varieties may
be expected to produce the largest
yields as an average for several sea-
sons. In less favored sections of the
state or on less fertile and more poorly
watered lands the early or medium
early matured varieties will make the
surest crop.
This experiment also proved that
homegrown corn is best for seed. In
40 tests during the seven years in which
the seed corn of seven varieties from
seven states were compared with Kan
sas grown seed Of the same varieties
the resulting yields favored the Kansas
seed at the rate Of six and a half
bushels to the acre every year. The
greatest variation in yield was between
the Kansas grown and the Minnesota
grown seed of the variety, Pride of
the North. The Kansas grown seed
yielded 81 bushels more to the acre
every year as an average for seven
years, than the northern grown seed.
