Motorcycle as chaff Cutter.

A farmer at Bantnall, Salcp, Eng. land, has fixed his motorcycle on a stand against the wall of the farm buildings, and it drives a chaff-cutter and turnip cutter at the same time. It does not cost much to work it. The turnip cutter is on the same level as the cycle, and is connected by a kind of bicycle chain. The chaff-cutter is placed above the turnip-cutter on an. other floor and connected by two-inch belting. After it has been on some little time the engine gets hot, so a fan Is made to revolve by the side to keep it cool. It. is also used for churning milk This saves a great deal of time for the workmen because 1t can do the two jobs at once.

Sedswick County
High School.

Through the courtesy of the editor OF
the Grit Advocate. Principal George 2.
Young will give brief review of the
work in and for the school since Septem-
Der last.
Because of the demand which must be
met bv the faculty, more courses and
subjects are offered this year than in
years previous. Those added to the cur
riculum are Reviews, Chorus and Or
chestra. Each OF these is elective, and
the number electing this work is very
gratifying. For the size of our school,
large classes have been organized. Near
ly one hundred and fifty periods of work
are offered each week of the school year
There are few high schools in Colorado
and even in the United States that begin
work at eight in the morning. The
school day is longer in Julesburg and
more courses are found in the Program
than in any school of its size with which
VIC are acquainted.
The German Club.
The purpose of the Club is to give the
student an opportunity to live in an at
mospherc OF German, to gain practi
cal knowledge Of the language, and to
acquire fluent conversational ability,
along with a knowlege of German life,
customs and history. German, princi-
pally, is spoken at these meetings in pur-
suance of this ideal. At present the
membership has no limit. 1t is volun-
tary organization composed of the stu
dents OF German in this school, and any
other individuals understanding German
may participate in these meetings. This
means citizens Of this community. The
social features of the society are not ne
elected. Part of the meeting is given
over to games, with refreshments follow
ing, always with the rule in view,
"Sprechen Sic nur Dcutsch.' (Spcak

The Orchestra.
A new feature of the school world is
developed by Miss Snare in our orches-
ira. This little group OF seven pieces has
been doing excellent work. We have
represented here students from every
class in the school who play these in
struments: first and second violins, cor
net, alto, clarinet, trombone and piano.

The Lincoln Day Banquet

On last Thursday evening about
1000 of the Republicans and Pro-
gressives of the state gathered in
the Banquet room of the Ell Jebel
Temple in Denver to pay tribute to
the Immortal Lincoln and to listen
to one of Iowa's talented sons, Sen
ator Albert B. Cummings, who de-
livered the principal address of the
evening.
Senator Cummings in his address,
spoke of the remarkable tariff meas
ure passed by the present admin
istration and said that in a general
way. 1t protects the manufacturers
interests and is against the agricul-
tural interests; that the Republican
party did not believe in a revision
of thetariff, whereby so per cent of
the products of New Jersey are un-
der protective duties, while 55 per
cent of the products of Colorado,
Sc per cent in Iowa and 20 per cent
of the products of Kansas are put up
on the free list. He remarked that
some years ago there was consider
able talk of thee big Stick in Wash
ington and that under the present
administration, the Big Stick had
been entirely abolished and the cat
O-nine-tails, much more effective
weapon. had been put in it's place.
The defeat of the Republican party
in 1912 was alluded to as the appoma
tix of 1912 and he declared that dis
Standard Bearers of the party would
not bring the colors up to tho firing
line.
The mention of the NAMES of Roose-
welt, Taft and Cummings elicted tre-
mendous applause from the entire
gathering and the banquet resulted
in a presidential boom in Colorado
for the Senator.
In speaking of the new banking
and currency law, the Senator pre-
dicted that those who were now ac-
cepting the new law with enthus-
iasm, would before long, be clam
oring for relief from the tyrany of
consolidated banks; and that the new
proposed Antitrust Laws are to be
made up of bill and to be known as
the 5 brothers. But he said, $50 far

of them has been born, but the stork
is lowering over the Capitol and the

High School Inspector.
DIR. William A. Cook, State Univers-
ity High School Inspector, whose duty
it is to visit and pass upon high schools
in Colorado, made this informal report
to the County Superintendent of Schools:
Mrs. Ella W. Babcock, Julesburg, Colo.
Dear Mrs. Babcock:-Thc institution
seems to be in a generally prosperous
condition, growing rapidly inenrollment
improving in equipment, and no doubt
commanding an increasing interest from
both students and community. The
school is to Ike congratulated on so large
senior class. Rarely do the graduates
number as much asa fourth OF the en-
rollment for the year. hope this class
will determine to leave some valuable
and lasting mark on the map of the
Sedgwick County High School when it
goes out next spring, to set standard
that other classes will have to exert
themselves to equal.
Some of the other encouraging items
are the harmony that appears to exist
between all associated with the school,
the general good order, industry, and
courtesy of the students, the widespread
interest and participation in athletics by
both sexes, and the voluntary organiza-
tons of students along intellectual and
social lines. So far as could observe,
all indications for the immediate future
ars favorable, provided the comrnuaity
responds generously with finances. It
takes money nowadays to run school
Ion have strong neighboring institu-
tions and the one to the west charges no
tuition fee. If Sedgwick County is to
hold her own, she must match the pace
I OF the others. This she is very nearly
doing, | believe, at the present, but a
material growth in attendance is going
to raise a new financial problem, s56l,
that of additional room.
Next time shall try to arrange my
visit at such time that may see the
students at their regular work instt ad of
i'll the midst of their examinations, as
happened this year. Very truly yours,
(SigneD William A. Cook.
