Once in a while somebody gets the
idea that the reason the local paper
does not report every scandal that
comes to public knowledge is because
the publisher is afraid. That not the
reason The reputable newspaper,
especially in a small town where every
one is a neighbor to everyone else,
takes no delight In giving publicity to
those things that have brought dis
grace to some family or heartache to
some wife or mother. 1t is much more
pleasant to record the good things that
happen, to tell the incidents that tend
to make life more endurable, and that
upllft rather than tear down, that bring
joy instead of sorrow, pride instead of
heartache. So if you don't always find
in The News the delectable bit of gossip
that would doubtless make good read
ing" and if you are inclined to blame
the editor because he doesn't print al
the news" consider that some home
has had enough worry over unfortunate
happenings, and that the gossips and

okra, tomatoes, cantaloupe, etc.
Put in some sweet corn and second or

The roots have to breathe just like any

In moving the lawn it is better to
cut the grass often and let the cuttings

ed the Normal this summer was so far
beyond the number expected that It
took seventeen additional courses to
satisfy the demand for college work.
The ambition of most of these new stu
dents seems to be to go on toward their
degree.
Quite a number of Trego county

And it is not even Smart.

We heard one of our young men max
ing sport of religion in front of church
the other day. His mustache had just
begun to sprout and judging from his
talk his mental faculties were not as
well developed as his mustache Dur
ing our brief stay upon earth we have
seen a number Of just such young men
cold in death. We have seen the athe-
list in his casket, but before being con-
signed to their last resting place they
have all been carried through the doors
of the church and had prayers said over
them.
This young man could scott at religion
in his strength and beauty but if the
dark angel should get after him he
would instinctively regret what he had
said and look into the future with fear
and trembling. When one stands be-
fore the open door Of eternity his desire
to scof at religion vanishes. We admit
there are bad men in the church, but
even these black sheep in the flock
might be blacker if they were outside.
No young man, or old one either, should
condemn the noble efforts christian men
and women are making towards better
ing the condition of things and whether
we attend church or not but few of us
would desire to live in a community
where there were no churches Young
man, in the future if you must scott al
religion, please go farther away if you
do not want your name in print. -Gler

DIR. Curtis has given during the week
some most interesting and valuable
lectures on and demonstrations of play.
He says that game TO be worth while
for use as community game must full
fill the following conditions:
1. It must be game that everyone
can play regardless of age, sex or
previous condition of serYitude.
2. 1t must be game that many can
play on comparatively small ares. Base
ball requires an acre for nine players;
football requires an acre for eleven
players. The game which DR.. Curtis
advocates will accommodate 600 on an
acre.
3. The game must be safe. In foot
ball it is the strong who can play and
they least need the exercise He says
basketball is the most dangerous game
because it strains the heart which is
worse than broken bones and sprained
ankles
4. The game must require skill and
must be interesting and must exercise
the pinched-up lungs as well as the re-
mainder of the body.
The game which DIR. Curtis says most
nearly fits these conditions is Volley
Ball. The man of SO can play it as well
as the boy of II.
The game requires more skill and
team work than few demonstrations
| would perhaps Indicate.
Business men, Office and store clerks,
teachers, preachers, all can play it and
get the recreation they need.
Why not form Volley Ball League
in Hays this summer and play series
of games for the town championship?
The league could be formed among the
various businesses and professions.
Games could be played evenings after
supper.

Faculty say that they can click" any
