Truckers. The canvass was sewed
to cover the cold frames. The little
cardboard boxes were carried over to

the tomato plants were taken from the
hot house and placed in the boxes in the
cold frames.
Each member of the Truckers Asso-

Friday, April 9, at General Assembly
the students were favored by the read
ing of the play, The Servant in the
House, given by R. J. Graham, Pro-
fessor of public speaking at the State
Normal School at Pittsburg.
A sack of potatoes was to be given

9th. The report of the judges has not
been received.
The Fort Hays Normal School won in
the debate at Pittsburg on last Friday
evening. On the same evening the de-
bate team here in Hays lost the decision
to Pittsburg. But the local team GER
tainly has no reason to feel badly for
their showing was excellent. The
affirmative side of the question seems
to have been the difficult side to handle
for it lost in both cases.

It is@Time to Begin Cleaning up the Back
Yard and UnsightIY Places.


Yard and UnsiehtIy Places.
Once more the season has rolled
around that calls for the thorough rem
ovation of ones premises. These first
balmy spring days have imbued some
with the clean up spirit, and it should
not be allowed to die out until every
person has completed the work in his
own domain.
The following prose poem entitled
''Clean Up" by Walt Mason is very
appropriate:
''Now let US give the war rest, the
rout, the siege, the sally, and gayly shed
our coat and vest, and go and clean the
ally! Let's gather up the dogs and
cats which have this life departed, and
let tin cans and bricks and hats off to
the dump be carted. In Winter you
may voice your views, which you be-
ieve important, and base long sermons
on the news, but in the spring you'd
ortn't. Then every able bodied man
should whoop the ''Clean Up" slogan,
and chase the old tomato can, the cast
off hat and brogan. So let US clear our
bullying brows of trihing thoughts and
narrow, and gather up the old dead
cows and work the rake and harrow.
The rubbish left by careless men and
lazy human cheeses, will bring a host
of germs again, and they'll bring punk
diseases. And forty billion flies will
come, as many microbes bearing, and
round our weary heads they'll hum,
and keep US busy swearing. Clean upl
Clean upl On every block let all the
workers raIlyI No man should stand
around and talk, until he's cleaned his
alIey!''

IF HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darker and Beauty
Gray, Faded, Lifeless Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti,
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. BY asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about 80 cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's SO easy to use, too. You
simply dampen comb or soft brush
and draw 1t through your hair, taking
one strand at time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant. Adv.

''Will we be able to foretell earth

such as is frequently done by the

asked
1T has not been possible yet to
determine the periodicity of shocks or
to predict with any degree of accuracy
| the time of the occurrence of an
earthquake. Some earthquake re-
/ gions are subject to frequent shocks,
while others experience them only at
long intervals
The horror of experiencing an earth
quake has been set down by Mr.. F. s..

lands some years ago when there be-

First the earth swayed to and

observers, according to Doctor Hoyey,
had noted an increase of seismic
shocks for a year or more before the
volcano burst into violent eruption in
May, 1902 The eruption itself, how
ever, was free from earthquakes, he
said, except apparently from the
quivering of the mountain due to the
uprush of steam and ejecta through
the conduit. just as happens in the
ehfmneys of fire engine under full
blast.
Time after time Italy has suffered
from the effects of serious earth
quakes. but never before so severely as
from that which occurred in Calabria
and Sicily on December %, 1908,
when 100000 human beings are sup
posed to have lost their lives.
That disaster was very similar to
the one at Avezzano, so far as cause
is concerned, according to Prof. J. F.
Kemp, head of the department of gee
ology at Columbia university. Mount
Etna had poured forth so much lava
that a fracture had been created in
the earth's crust, and the natural re-
suit came in the form of readjust-
ment. 1t is, he says, probable that
other fractures now exist. and it is
certainly to be expected that other
earthquakes will occur in Italy.

instances. are appalling. In India in
1898, 10000 persons were killed by
a single shock, four-fifths of them in
a single city. Japan lost 100000 at
one time in 1903. In 1869, $4,000 were
killed at Messina; in 1898. $4,000. and
in 1908, probably 100000.
'The perfecting of instruments for
the purpose of recording movements

he added, but certain regions or
zones are more likely than others to
suffer earthquakes.
