IT WAS SOME THRILL.

Saturday the railway boys gave it
o't that n train OF soldiers was com
ing down that afternoon going TO III
Paso. A big crowd was at the depot
expecting to get squint at the train
ard that was iUst about all they did
get. The big, fast freight went through
here about 40 miles an hour or better,
for it ran from liberal down in 81 miu-
utes, which they claim is just about a
record run. Engineer Drake WAS at
the throttle aud Il you haupen Go know
Drake you know what that fast train
was doing while passing through town
The big engine. which pulled Il cars
and coaches, seemed to thrill with the
same eagerness that the soldiers ex-
hibited in the cars They seemed to
act like the train couldn't go fast
enough for them and they waved their
hats and yelled at the crowd like they
were sufficient in themselves to clean
up on all Mexico. Itdidu'U last long,
but it WAS worth money 10 get the
thrill which that train sent through a
fellow. IL you ever had an idea that
you wanted to be a soldier at any time
that feeling came back good and strong
while that train pulled through, as old
men and young men, old soldiers and
soldiers Of the PHILIPPINE war waved
their hats and cheered as loudly as
they could .-Guymon Herald

SAVAGE WRITES OF WAR SCENES.

The following from the Guymon Her
aid, written by Lyman Savage, brother
of our John W, and former resident
Of Beaver. Is interesting regarding the
Mexico situation as, viewed at short
range. Lyman is at FL Paso.
"Our paper here is getting out ex-
tras every few minutes and hotel lob
bies and tho main street crossings are
surging with eXiled Spaniards and
refugees from Mexico, with quite n
sprinkling of excited Americans among
them, all gesticulating and suggesting
and wondering what il going to be
done. War with Mexico is here II
seems, and is what had to come sooner
or later, has been the contention OF all
Americans who have been acquainted
with Mexico many years. II has been
freely predicted ever since the fall OF
Poriirio Diaz that there was none Ia

land owners and schemers have been
fostering one rebellion after another,

ALFALFA<A SOIL BUILDER

The great virtue of alfalfa is its
ability to increase the nitrogen con-
tent of the soil. About " per cent
Of the air is nitrogen. 1t is esti-
mated that there are $4,000 tons
over every acre of land, worth, at
the present rate Of 10 cents a pound.
over $12,000,0OO, if it could be used
It is taken out of the air into the
soil by very minute plants called bac.
terra, which live in the little nodules
found on the alfalfa roots. It takes
about $4,000 bacteria to measure an
inch. s;. w..
They take the nitrogen from the
air and use it in their life processes
and then give it up to the alfalfa
plant in another form. Alfalfa plants
remove a large amount of nitrogen
rom the soil, but the bacteria col.
lect is such that a portion is left for
other plants that follow.
If the soil is too wet, the bacteria
cannot work, and If too hard, the air
containing the nitrogen can not get
to them.
All plants which have the ability

The Wiekedsst Bit of Sea.

Nine out of ten travellers would tell
inquirers that the toughest piece Of
water is that cruel stretch in the Eng

AS matter of fact, "the wickedest
bit of sea" is not in the Dover strait or
in yachting, for example. from st. jean
de Luz up to Pauillac or across the
Mediterranean ''race" from Cadiz to

Two leagues were formed, one for
the eighth grade and one for the low
er grades. The eighth grade league
was composed of three teams from the
Central School and seven teams made
up of the lower grade league.
No trophy was offered for the
eighth grade but one was provided for
the lower grades which was won by
the Jackson School,
Baseball.
The first season one league was
formed with eight teams and the Cen

another trophy was secured and an
other league formed. The eighth
grade league was made up of three
teams and the lower grade league
with seven teams. The Central Tig

The aim of the league is as follows:
Benefit to pupils.
To encourage and induce a general
participation in athletic games by
pupils and thus train and develop a
large number of boys and girls.
To promote healthy competition and
develop school loyalty.
To accomplish this the league has
conducted the following games and
sports:
Football, baseball, track and field
sports, including relay races.
Football.
All boys playing football were
obliged to secure from their parents
permission to play. All boys were
given free heart examination by
physicians and were not allowed to
play if the physician thought the ex-
ercise too violent for them. The time
of play was shortened and a weight
limit established to prevent very large
boys from playing against small ones
The principal of the school or one of
the teachers always accompanied the
teams when they played and no games

The relay races have proven very
popular and were witnessed by great
crowds of people.
Dr. Jones, the school physician, ex-
amined the boys who were to run in
the inter-building race and excluded
those who seemed unfit for the strain.

has been quite successfully carried out
for it has benefited the children, ply
sically and officially, it has actively
interested a large number of children
and it has promoted healthy competi-
ton and developed school loyalty.
This has not been done without con-
siderable work on the part of the
teachers and principals who are to be
commended for giving up SO much of
their own time to the work.

There have been two accidents in

Track and Field Events.
Track and field events were given
for the physical proficiency tests, viz:
running high jump, running broad
jump, standing broad jump, pull up

throw, potato race and dash for the
girls.
The boys were divided into four
classes according to weight; standard
records were established and any boy
whose record equalled the standard in

This test has actively interested be-

Relay Races.
Relay races were run between the
fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh gardes.
Each team was composed of twelve
boys and a school could put in as
many teams as it was able. The dis
lance for each boy to run in these
races was very short.

four miles and each boy ran a quarter
of a mile.
The first two seasons races were
run on the streets but his year they
were run on the High School athletic
field track.
The winners of the races in 1911
are as follows:
Fourth, fifth and seventh grades

Central School Physical Training for
Boys.
Since February, 1913, an attempt
has been made to conduct separate
classes in physical training for boys
and girls as in other subjects. There
being no room, other than the as
sembly room, large enough to permit
all of the boys to take exercise at
once they were, in good weather,
taken out of doors for their physical
training The work consisted of set
ting up exercises and little march
