CHIPS FROM CARPENTER SHOP
By Woodbutchsr

/
| With a few changes in the Green So,
positions, it might better our ball playing
What say you. Paddy
The team scales situated between the farm
machinery and power plant buildings ha.
been completed by the carpenters and i.
ready for business. The scales are fve-tor
capacity.
We also finished up the building for the
water softener; put up railing around the
stairs leading to the basement and construc-
ted railing around large open tank on
tie ground fooi.
Will state here that we woodbutcher is off
his feed. Somehow, we can't connect with
the ball these last two games. However,
we all have our bad DAYS and hope to make
better showing in the future.
The carpenters are completing a bread
cabinet, ska feet, for the bakery, which
will be of great service to the bakers. Be-
cause of its large size it is being constructed
n sections to facilitate its moving.
The carpenters have completed FIVE more
concrete forms for curbing, each ten feet
long. Old Tom, who has been in our
midst SO many years said, ''I'm down. right
glad to get these five forms, as these morn
ings are getting cold and can't keep busy
enough to keep worm
Our cabinet maker, Moe, expects to leave
this department soon. He has had consid-
cradle experience as pattern maker on the
out side, and at one time held the position
of head pattern maker at the st. L. shops
at Minneapolis. Mr.. Ross, Supt. of the
farm machinery plant, has asked for his
services in the pattern making dept. Hope
you succeed, old top and may good luck
go with you.
The carpenters did some steel construc-
ton work the past week; somewhat out of
our line but have made success at putting
in two large iron doors IN the underground
passageway, between the farm machinery
and foundry buildings. One door for the
large tank-room underground, north of the
farm machinery building, and a double
door leading into the underground paint
and combustiable vault.
An old saying, GA stitch in time saves
nine." What say you. Grannelly9
A true Green Sox fan is "Sambo.'' Did
you hear HIM root last Saturday? Well,
say, he don't need megaphone, his root
ing could be heard in the visitor stand out
in center field though he was near the third
base line. He was heard to shout: 'Her'
you all. hit and start somethin'; now
y'ur chance, land it on da nose and show
da aggregation y ur here
That's the talk that insists; gives encour-
agement to the players and wins the game
There sure is something the matter with
us Green Sox. Will some scribe or fan
kindly give his views of where the trouble
liesf Is it because we don't play together1
Can't hit? Base running bad? Wrong
lineup or more professional encouragement
and COUGHING requiredi Is the pitching
staff weak? There's a reason.
1t seems to me that it's not the fault of
the fans that so many games are lost by the
Green Sox; I'm sure they do their part we'll
and we would like to see the Seekers win.
If the fault of the Green Sox isn't rectifed,
|, for one. predict that our tall games in
the future will be minus the support of the
fans. Enough said.

The orchestra not only received great ap-
plause from the Prison Congress Tuesday,
Oct. E, but many were the personal con-
CALCULATIONS showered upon the boys at the
adjournment of the meeting.
The band rehearsed between the cell hall
last week and was applauded by the sick
boys. Capt. Brostrom came out and re-
quested that they play a little rag time as all
the cell hall boys had rag in their hand.
Tickle the Ivorles'' sure tickled the Irish.
The first oboe player of the Minneapolis
Symphony Orchestra, who is a personal
friend of Prof. Schmidt, was here giving
instructions to MI Desperanum one day
last week. The lesson was an invaluable
one to Harry, for the oboe is one of the
three most difficult instruments.

age. Cordial invitation to all ladies'.
An important business meeting Of
the Church will be held at the close
Of brief Prayer meeting on Wednes-

been obliged to decline the invitation.
Next Sunday is the last for services
in the Court House. We are grateful
for having SO convenient a place for
the holding of our services during the
building Of the new house of worship,
but one Of the joys of the new church
will be no long stairs to climb and
more comfortable chairs. We know the
stairs were a real reason that kept
some away. The opening of the new
church will reveal to how many the
Court House Inconvenience were on

Does Your Crop Need Water

We are calling your attention to the
fact that water is going to waste down
the river now and that several farmers
have called our attention to the fact
that for all of the moisture we have
had if the farmer will investigate his
grain and alfalfa fields he will find
they need water. Better investigate
and use the water that is going to
waste.

II 1eesgnkIlsn

There are some few things that Prin
cipal Geo. P. Young of the Sedgwick
County High School wishes to en-
phasixe through the columns OF the
Grit-AdvOcate. Many helpful acts and
deeds have been done and have re-
mained practically unobserved. per-
haps brought to light at times with
only a m0dicum of interest Essential
ly We are all looking out for self but
We have among our faculty and stu
dent members of this universe who
have done more than think only of
self. These facts have been mentioned
and stressed more than once In the
past, namely, the orchestra, the Choir
us. and the loyal and hearty co-opera-
tion of students and faculty with the
Administrative Ohicials. All these and
more too have appeared now and then
under the head Of High School Notes.
Four other individuals deserve special
commentator: Miss Eismann, Miss
Cannady, Mr.. R00k and Mr.. Kissack
Upon the walls of the assembly and
the landings of the stairways, you may
see seven pictures which have been
framed and presented to the Sedgwick
County High School by Miss Eismann.
Truly We recognize the value of these
and try in this humble manner to ac-
knowledge publicly our appreciation.
Miss Bessie Cannady has served the
school this year faithfully and we'll as
Librarian. She has taken care of the
wants Of the students throughout the
past nine months entirely without re-
muneration. We realize the value of
her efforts and want the students and
public to understand her sacrifice.
On each week you have read items
under High School Notes which ap-
peared in this paper. These you may
or may not have known were largely
the results of tile reporting d6ne ~
Francis X. Rook. To him and Elmer
kissack then falls the credit for this
part of the work.
One OF the most important and ex-
emplary acts of the year was consuma-
ted by the Class of 1914, when they
left as memento to Sedgwick County
High School about twenty-five volumes
of books whose value is Thirty Dol
lars. and Fifteen Dollars to be used
by the Orchestra and Chorus, which
will continue the present plan and
practically assure us that these two
valuable parts of our school will be
self supporting next year as well as
in the past. These gifts have set
standard which future graduating
classes will have to keep in mind
Lastly, we must not fail to say that
Sedgwick County High School is full
ly recognized by the higher institu-
tions of this state as an accredited
school, Three of these offer honor
scholarships to the student making
the highest scholastic standing. AS
mav be known, Elmer R. Kissack ear
ned this and he chose the certificate
offered by the University of Colorado,
which means a remission of the annual
tuition for four years in the Colleges
of Liberal Arts and Engineering. Tie
State Agricultural College awards two
scholarships to worthy students other
than the Honor Student. These have
been awarded by this school under
the general regulations of the State
Board of Agriculture, one to a boy
and one to girl. Those who will re-
ceive these certificates in the near fu-

Cleanliness Kills Flies

How do flies live through the winter?
A few lazy, logy flies can be found half
dead, but still living. around CHM
neys and warm places in the house or
stable They will come to life just as
soon as the boys begin playing mar
bies.
If no garbage or filth were to be
found the female flies would die and
the stock might be lost.
We must keep things clean to keep
flies from breeding When they have
come we can catch them with fly pa
er or fly traps or kill them with fly
poison. We can keep them out of the
house by keeping the windows and
doors screened
They crawl into the sugar, the milk
and the bread. They have just been
crawling into other places They get
typhoid germs and give you typhoid
They get consumption and spread it.

Lime works WONDERS
IN MARYLAND SOIL
Makes Possible An Increased Yield OF
Two Barrels Per Acre.

For the past six years Illinois farm
ers, under the direction of their Agri.'
cultural College have been applying
the remarkable results obtained from
lime tests made by the Maryland Elk
pertinent Station, the results of which
were published in 1906. Experiments
covering twelve years showed that the
lined and land treated with lime car
Donate or ground shells was in an
average of four corn crops, i've bar
fels per acre. The least difference
shown between unlimed land and any
other form of lime used was three bar.
Sels, in four crops of corn or an aver
age increase of from three-fourths to
one and a quarter barrels of corn per
acre a year. So far an investment OF
>ewo to three dollars an acre the return
per year was 81 to $6 and for four
crops for the same investment in lime,
$16 to $24 These results are obtain
able on most unlimed soils of South
ern Maryland and would mean an in
crease in income to the average farm
of 5000 to S400 year as the case
might be. If only one-fourth of the
cultivated lands of Maryland showed
similar response to the use of lime
it would make possible an annual in
crease in the net returns from the
farms of over five millions of dollars
Such results would certainly justify
the investment of $25,OOO in soil in.

Trick of ski Jumping.

The art of ski-jumping is not so
easy as it looks before trying, nor so
hard to learn as it might appear after
the first attempt. At the start, or
takeoff, come down as though you
were coasting on the ski, then at the
moment of the take-off bend the body
well forward from the hips and throw
as much of the weight as possible into
the knees. AS you leave the edge of
the jump straighten quickly at the
hips and secure as much as possible
the effect of jumping straight out into
the air. While in the air hold the arms
as still as possible in the position that
best preserves the balance, keep the
ski points slightly down, as near as
possible parallel with the slope of the
: hill. The body should be perpendicu-
lar to the slope and the skis kept
well together. On landing, advance
one ski as far as possible without up.
setting, bending the knee of the leg
that is advanced. Keep the skis to.
gether and parallel. The rest is prac'
tice-and more practice.-Outing.

LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP SURE,
That Meeting of Affinities Is lnev-
table Is Opinion Advanced by
This Novelist.

There are people in life one never
more than just brushes by: from
whom one gains nothing; to whom one
gives nothing. People who, though
they may be the pivot of another's
life-and that's always very difficult
to realize and remember-are no more
to you than a family penciled draw
ing. You may be introduced to them
again and again, know all their rela-
tions, their personal history, admire
and approve. But that is all. 1t is
no use arranging meetings.; striving
to know each other better: you'll new
er get any nearer.
Love and friendship are as inev-
table as all else in this inevitable
world. You may first meet at the an
tipodes and each go opposite ways
perhaps without even speaking. But
if you are native to each other you
will meet again and again. People
lose half their energy in contriving
and planning. They are like men who
would try to hurry on an express train
by getting out and pushing: or-to
use a very homely simile-like GER
tain impatient persons, who, instead
of waiting for bus, imagine they
save time by walking on so that it
may overtake them.-From "Simp-
son." by Elinor Mordaunt.

The DANCING Bushman.

That wonderful Bushman who lived
for several years at Kimberley and re-
sisted the temptation to learn a word
OF English, Dutch or "any known
South African language" while con
versing volubly in his own unknown
tongue, is now back from Paris. Once
more he has been put under the mi
croscope, the horoscope and all the
other instruments of the Cambridge
Anthropological laboratory. Professor
Duckworth assures us that this is not
only Bushman. but type of Bush
man unrecognized hitherto" We sus.
pect, however, that he will go down
to history, or whatever may be his
destiny, as the Little Legpuller. For
our Bushman signalized his reception
at Cambridge by giving "an exhibition
of dancing to a large audience in the
new examination hall of the univer-
sity." With the tango all the rage,
why not establish a chair of dancing
at Cambridge and install this already
distinguished South African ?-Soutb

LITTLE PIGS MAY
make Big MONEY
Bushel Of Corn VIII Make Ten Pounds
Of Pork and Keep Farm Fertile.
C.L. OPPERMAN.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Milk is more digestible for little
pigs than any other food. They should
not have any coarse feeds at first
When they are two weeks old they
may have a little shelled corn and
some slop in a trough by themselves
They should have plenty of trough
room so as not to crowd each Other
and make runts. Little pigs, to be
kept in good growing condition should
have good pasture and some grain
feed. They are especially fond Of
grass, clover, alfalfa and soy beans
and when fed in addition grain mix
ture of one part OF corn and two parts
Of shorts at the rate of four and
calf to five pounds a day per 100
pounds weight will make good, cheap
pork at an astonishing rate.
When the pig is five to seven
months old he is ready to fatten and
1nish. For this purpose, snapped ear
corn and water are second to no other
feeds, provided you are not going to
feed longer than two months. A ce,
ment feeding floor is very desirable
since it can be kept clean and does
away with the danger of the pigs
taking up dirt and worms with their
iced. Pigs so treated should fetch the
.op market price at seven to ten
months old

Heart of New York.

So much is heard of the heartless-
ness of New York business men that
it is refreshing to hear another side of
the story. A young woman had been
employed by large wholesale house
for three months. 1t was her first
position. She became i'll, and, believ-
ing that conditions surrounding her
work were unsuitable to her, resigned.
The firm then sent check for two
weeks salary and wrote that when
she recovered if they could help her
in any way either financially or to Sc
cure another position, she was to call
upon them. Fortunately she didn't
have to, and now no one dares to tell
her that New York is cruel and heart
less to the struggling newcomer.

LONDON FULL OF BEeeARs
Mendcants and cadgers Appear in
the Great Metropolis in All
Sorts of Disguises.

There are many professional beg
gars in London, who have their own
copyright methods of extracting coin
from a sympathetic and credulous pub
lie. You may perhaps have come
across the distressed governess, out
Of situation, who asks you in Oxford
street the way to walk to Turnham
Green, and is so staggered at the dis
tance that you ask her to accept the
bus fare
Then there is the transatlantic
journalist stranded in the metropolis.
He is too proud to seek aid from some
of his millionaire friends at the Cecil,
but if you could?-and perhaps you
do.
Most artistic of all mendicants is
the old lady Of grandmotherly appear
ance dressed in black silk. She is up
in London for the day, and some one
has robbed her Of her purse. She has
called on her solicitor, but unfortu-
nately he was out. What shall she
do? You give her the train fare and
she promises to send the money on to
you if you will give her your address.
But if you are wise you decline, and
thus escape a shoal of begging let
ters. For addresses of benevolent
persons have a market value among
the cadging fraternity. - London

Relief Plan For Trolley EN-
ployes.

The Hagerstown and Frederick Re-
lief Association, an association of the
employees Of the Hagerstown and Fred
erick Railway Company, has been form
ed with a membership of considerably
more than 100 members. The dues in
the association are rs cents per month,
and the association pays to each mem
Der sick benefits at the rate of S. per
week, and also his doctor bill, and in
case Of death the family OF the deceased
is paid SIS.
The employees on the Hagerstown Di-
vision have had such an association for
some time, and the plan has worked
most successfully there. Because of the
TACT that a man who has qualified for
railroad work must be hearty and
healthy. there are comparatively few
cases of sickness among the employees.
During the time that the Hagerstown
Association was conducted there was a
fund of about $500 accumulated in the
treasury. This sum the Hagerstown
men have turned over into the treasury
of the Hagerstown and Frederick Relief
Association, and because of this the new
association starts out with considerable
surplus with which to make any demands
made upon it.
Under the agreement each member of
the association may have his own ply
sician, and need not have physician
designated by the association. This is
a very desirable feature for any oi the
Frederick men, and this was one conces.
sion which the Frederick employees de-
manded before they would go into the
association
The association is strictly one of the
employees of the road. and while any one
connected with the road in any capacity
is entitled to Join, the management and
control of the association is entirely with
in the hands of the employed men, and
the road officials while they are members,
have no further to say i'll the control of
the association than member Of the
track force or an employe in any, other
department.
About as OF the SO employees of the
Frederick Division of the road have
already joined the association, the new
association beginning on February Ist.
1t is expected that ultimately nearly
every employe of the Frederick Division
will become member. On the Hag-
erstown Division nearly all of the en-
ployes are members
The railway officials encourage the
further development Of the association
in every wav possible. Special cars have
been provided to carry the men to the
special meetings which have been held,
and other concessions granted. The ad-
mnistration Office of the association is at
Hagerstown.
