The Mcpherson lads fought gameIy
but seemed beWi'dered by the rapid
fire manner in whieh the Normal boys
passed the ball and carried it down to
the Mcpherson goal. The final score
was Sc to q with the Normal leading.
The second game was almost Pepe-
tition Of the first. Mcpherson, as in
the first game, got away to. good
lead but this time it either took the
Normal boys longer to get started or
Mcpherson fought harder, for the end
of the frat half found Mcpherson lead
ing by a % to IL score. The Normal
lads came back the last half with ven
geance however. and exhibiting some
of the best team work ever seen on
the local court, soon evened up the
score and took the lead. From this
time on Mcpherson was never danger
ous for they soon increased this lead to
such an extent that it would have been
impossible for any team to deprive

ATHLETIC
BASKET BALL

uarY 90 and 80. The students of W.

exercise their vocal organs in cheering
tue Normal basket ball team on to a
victory over the fast quintet from

It certainly was a glorious victory
too. The lads from Mcpherson came
up here with the record of having won
over Lindsborg and the Chilocco Ill-

The first game found them star ting

HOUSEHOLD LINENS.

This is the time Of year when most
housewives are replenishing their sup

usually lower in January and February
and if one can take advantage Of sales,
very pretty bargains may be picked up.
The favorite patterns for tablecloths
and napkins seem to be the three inch
diagonal and Iengthwise stripes of
satin and plain damask. with conven-
tionAlizsd borders that are six or eight
inches wide.
The plain satin bands for the round
table cloths and the wide Grecisn bor-

Normal Notes and Comments.
What. Would Happen h There Were
No Oxygen?


Plants and ANIMALS riquire two things
from the atmosphere, moisture and
oxygen. Plants require, directly or
indirectly, two more, carbon dioxide
and nitrogen.
Last week, in this column. We dis
cussed the necessity Of moisture. This
week we discuss the need of oxygen.
If there were no oxygen there would
be no plants or animals. No fuel
would burn. Our stoves would abso
lutely refuse to go. In fact, we could
not even light match to start the fire,
oxygen is the great agent Of burning.
THE USE OF OXYGEN TO PLANTS AND
ANIMALS.
Plants and animals use the oxygen
for the same reason that the stove
uses it, to liberate heat and energy.
While plants and animals do not burn
their fuel with a flame. they burn it
nevertheless. Carbon is the great
fuel. It is the essential part of coal,
wood, kerosene, gasoline, natural gas.
crude oil and likewise of our food, for
most of the food we eat is used for
fueI.-to give heat and energy, and
not, as is the popular opinion, for
building up muscle tissue. When we
work it is fuel, Oats, starches and
sugars) that disappsa and not muscle
tissue. Plants take in carbon Tin the
form OF carbon dioxide) from the air
and combine it with water to make
starch. They use it both for fuel and
tissue building. Then we eat the
plant to get the fuel which it has made
and stored.
WHY FRESH AIR MAKES ONE WARM
Now fire will go out in a hurry if
it is smothered by closing all the
drafts,-so will a plant Or an animal
Why? Because they can't get oxygen
to liberate the heat and energy neces-
sary to live. A stove in a room uses
mp oxygen more rapidly than a perso7
does. II it is furnished with plenty of
oxygen it will furnish more heat. And
so also, person who gets plenty of
fresh air keeps warmer than the per-
sor who shuts himself up in a tight
room. People who sleep out of doors
or with the windows wide open become
"warm blooded :" Those who shut
themselves up become "cold blooded"
and teeI chilly even with q booming
fire.
MISCELLANEOUS SUGGESTIONS.
Pants breath through leaves, stem
and roots If the leaves. are covered
with dust they cannot breath and so
become sickly. House plants particu-
larry need Co be washed occasionally
If the roots of a plant are tightly
packed IN earth, or If they are too
closely surrounded by water they can

HIGH COST OF LIVING Is EN-
Planned.

Why the cost OF living has increased,
particularly the meat bills, receives a
Hood of light from the report of the
secretary Of agriculture. plus the re-
port Of the bureau of the census.
From the census it is learned that
practically all farm lands have, during
the last decade, doubled in price. In
other words, il is twice as hard Tor
any person seeking land in order TO
make it productive to get the land.
He must pay $4,000 where before he
paid $1,000. In connection with these
census statistics, Sec'y Houston reports
that there has been IAN absolute de-
crease IN the number and amount of
important staple food products such as
corn and meats"
AS TO corn, in the last 1 > years there
has been no substantial increase in the
production, while as TO cattle, sheep
md hogs. there has been an absolute
decline-in cattle from the census
year 1899 to 1909 there was a decline
from 100000 head to 100000
head; in sheep from $1,000, 600 to o.
100000; in hogs from 100000 to
5000. 600.
Since 1909" says Sec'y Houston,
the tendency has been downward,
and yet during the same period the
population of the United States in
creased over 10000, OOO." The secre-
tary points out that there are in the
United States 935.OOO,OO acres of
arabic land, of which only 40O,0O0,OOO
or 4 . per cent, is under cultivation.
In other words, the rest of the land is
held out of use by owners who buy it
and hold it for speculative increase.
Here is material which will no doubt
be seized upon by single-taxers to
prove that their theory that a tax
which would strike down speculation
IN land holding. and opening it to use,
would reduce the cost of living.

NAN TOWN on ME NAE.

This is a very difficult war in more
ways than one, as the gentlemanly
and patient proof reader can testify.
The most difficult part of the war is
that which is taking place in Galicia
and Whereabouts. Many unprOnOunce-
able towns have been the scenes of
pitched battles. And now a new one
has sprung blithely into the spot
light. Here it is:
PrzasnysZ.
The Russians have found it very
difficult to take this town, and no
wonder. 1t is even more difficult
that Przemysl.
These unpronounceable towns are
likely to cause a lot OF trouble before
the war ends. Can anyone imagine
q Russian soldier under the influence
of vodka going home and telling his
wife that he has been wounded in
Przasnycz He simply couldn't do it.
He would have TO wave his hands in a
general southerly direction and say:
Il was wounded in battle down
there somewhere"
The war keeps getting worse. The
world thought ii was bad enough
when it reached Przemysl, but now it
has got TO PrZasnysz and there is no
telling where it may end. For man
who is trying to tell about the battles,
war is certainly all that Gen. Sherman
claimed for it.-Grand Rapids News.
