TRY TOPEKA'S SCHEME FOR
SOARING THE BLACKBIRDG

Last spring large flocks Of black
birds, such as gather in the big
naples and elms on North Buckeye,
chose the Bethany college grounds
at Topeka as an ideal congregating
place. One night they were awaken
ed from their peaceful sleep by a
roman candle bombardment. This
fall only few stray birds have
made the grounds their lodging place
after their hasty departure of the
spring before.
The residents on North Buckeye
have bombarded the skies with al
most every known firearm but still
the blackbirds continue to congre-
gate. The plan of the Topeka resi-
dents would likely prove successful
in Abilene.

sAL1NA GOT BIG END OF SCORE
Second Team Was Shut Out 1910 by
Garfield Players
From saturday 8 paily.1

The score of the Salina-Abilene
game at Salina was 1876 in favor Of
the Salina highs, Although the score
would indicate different. the Abb
llene boys were not defeated. 1t was
a plain "stear' on Salinas part. The
Salina people who saw the game
conceded that our boys outplayed
their opponents at every point of
the game and tAAtMthS decisions Of
the officials were "r0tten.."
A. H. S. could skirt Salinas ends
or forward pass at will and, in the
course of the game completed fif-
teen forward passes, which ranged
from five to thirty yards in length.
Six times our boys we're in the ten
yard zone of the Salina. goal and
were penalized ten and fifteen yards
ON alleged fowls called by Umpire
Miller of the sali1ia high school.
Coach white said this morning that
the team showed up much better
than 1t has in any game this season
and that the team work was espe-
cially good.
The one game the high school
really did lose was the one between
the second team and the Garfield
bunch. The second team was shut
out 1910. The grade team was heav-
Ter than the high school boys and
with good interference and some
heavy fellows to hit the line they
could make ten or fifteen wards

TOLD HOW TO ADVERTISE
MerIe Thorpe Talked to Merchants
About Mail Order Houses
Iron Saturdays DAIiv.I

Dean Thorpe OF the school Of
Journalism of the University of Kan
sas gave business men at the din
ner last evening a very interesting
account Of some of his newspaper
experiences and some helpful hints
on advertising. His suggestion for
successful competition with the mail
order house, was for the merchant
not to appeal to the loyalty of the
public for home patronage, but by
means Of scientific advertising in
form them of the articles In the
store and quote the comparative
prices.
Ninety men of the town attended
the dinner last evening and sixty
seven of those present signed up
for five more dinners to be given
during the winter. This first gath
ering was success from every way.
Ii a practical man, as Thorpe, can
be secured for the coming five din
ners, the series will be the best
thing for the merchants that has
ever been attempted or done.
The lecture at the high school by
Mr.. Thorpe on Rudyard Kipling as
"The Master Reporter" was very in
structive and showed a deep liter
airy insight on the part of the lee
turer. The attendance was the larg-
est for anything Of its kind that has
ever been held in the high school.
