nothing else, considering the kind

warmed up before they can do
anything in the line of ball play

to rob the Kiowa boys of their
well earned victory. Kiowa and

game will be played at the county

permitting.

UNITED STATES RANKS HIGH
Percentage of iIliteracy Compares We'll With Those of Other Coun-

In the United States the percentage of illiteracy is 7.7 for the total popula- tion lover ten years of age) and for the native white population. In Den mark, Germany, the Netherlands, Swe- den. Switzerland and the United King dom the percentage of illiteracy is lower than that for the native white population of the United States. Doubt less the list should also include Nor way, although no figures are available for that country; but In the other Flu ropean countries the percentage of illiteracy is higher than it is in the United States, and usually very much higher In Bulgaria it is 65 per cent; in Greece 70, in Hungary 33, in Italy 37, In Portugal 69. in Roumania 61.' in Russia 69, in Servia 79, and in Spain 5S. There is less illiteracy in Aus tralia than In the United States. but in all other non-European countries the percentage of illiteracy is in general very high.

SHOW SUPREMACY OF SOUL
Bright Spots in Dark Incidents of the Great Conflict Going on
 in Europe.

Courage is the universal possession of the German, the Englishman, the Frenchman, the Belgian, the Austrian, the Russian and the Japanese. The stories of individual coolness and dar- ing are so many that they have al most ceased to attract special atten- tion. The other day, when the Brit ish dreadnaught Formidable went down In {. storm, crushed like an egg shell by torpedoes or mines, it's cap on the bridge as 1t sank; and his last words were: Steady men; it's all right; keep cool; do not get in panic; be British" :" Every officer was at his post; many of them had lighted cigarettes. This stirring exhibition of the fact that the man does not die when his body falls i'll the trenches or sinks in the ocean can be matched in every navy and army. All Europe is fighting for invisible things. There never was such universal and commanding evi dence that the soul of humanity Is su preme and nvincible.-From the Out lCok
