FREE COTTON SEED

Little Rock, Ark, March 21st. Il have ordered one ton of the Page cotton seed shipped from the Page & Hart farm in Jack. son County. to my office in Little Rock, for the purpose of distri- button among the farmers of the state for experiment.. The seed will be put up in one pound pack ages. and will be sent out to those who apply and agree to properly plant and cultivate and return an equal amount of well selected seed next fall, to be dis tributed to otter farmers. There will be 2.000 packages to be sent in the order of the requests un- til the supply is exhausted.
 THE PAGE COTTON
 The Page cotton was given the name by C. W. Norris, who has been growing it upon the Page & Hart farm in Jackson County. It is little earlier than the Row den, makes a sturdy, well built stalk, well fruited, and is on the big boil type. It has a staple of 1 1-16 to II s inch and gins 36 to 3S per cent lint. It yields about thirty per cent more lint to the acre than the Express and sells for twenty per cent less per pound. The cotton holds we'll in the boil, but is not storm proof. It yields well. In 1915 we made three bales on two acres. In 1916 we made ten bales on ten acres On two rows of equal length, standing side by side, one row of the Page cotton weighed out III pounds, and the other of Express cotton weighed out A pounds ol seed cotton. The seed is pure with no boil weeyil or diseased cotton of any kind grown on the place

fast game on the Normal gridiron.
This bunch of .Goodhope lads are be-
ing trained by Lawrence Gross one of
our last years stars on the first team.
The Lacrosse High School team
played the return game here Friday
with the Hays eleven. They showed
some good football for the experience
they have had and by their fast play
ing put up an interesting game with
our boys.
Gilmore Wann, Elmer Ringe, Reece
Cave, Adelbert Cowan, George
Ernest Albert, Walter Shuts and
Coach Carman went to Lawrence
from Chapman, Saturday, to see the
Jayhawkers play the Cornhuskers on
McCoOk field. ,Sylvanus Shade and
George Brown went from there to
Kansas City, and are still wanting;
Adelbert Cowan stopped at Junction
City, for a visit but was on hand
sleepy but early Monday morning.
In response to the appeal from the
Secretary of the Y. NJ. C. A, at Ell
lis TO our school last week for funds
to carry out the plans for improving
the conditions of the boys in the ar
my camps both here and abroad, thir-
ty-three in all, including several
girls and members of the faculty
pledged five dollars to be paid by
the first of April. To systematic
and facilitate the payments this
group organized Wednesday morn
ing by electing the following officers
Chairman, Walter Shuts; Secretary,
Elmer Ringe; Treasurer, Reece
Cave.
An unusual feature of the pro-
gram given Thursday morning by the
Juniors was the presentation of a
handsome library table by Clair Viii
son on behalf of the distinguished
group of alumni known as the "class
of II" and the acceptance by Elmer
Ringe, Senior, on behalf of the pres
ent senior class and the under class
men. The custom of leaving a men,
orial to the school has been omitted
for many years but the school spirit
of this class so evident on all occa-
sions in their senior year prompted
them to revive this very commendable
custom. Maurine Speer, Bertha Pal
mer, Gladys Morrison, Paul Gross,
Ben Westbrook of the seventeen
were present to hear the presenta-
ton and acceptance speeches.

THE oSTEoPATHIc SPINE

The almost unbelievable fact has
been brought to light, by the recent
physical examinations for the Nation
al Army, that the city boys are
healthier than the country lads.
DR.. J. A Nydegger, who is in
charge of the U. S. Public Health
Service in Baltimore, in an article
IN November II, Literary Digest as
reported in the New York Times said,
In part; while there was an alarm
ing number of instances Of poor eye
sight, underweight, bad teeth, fiat
feet and other defects among young
men examined In cities, the results
were even more startling IN the eoun-
try, and this was due" says DR.. Ny
degger, ''to the feat that the health
of school children Is almost entirely
neglected IN rural schools
While physicians who had made
extensive studies of the condition of
health and physique OF the youth OF
the country expected the percent
age of reflections TO be high, few be-
lived conditions would be as bad as
they were shown to be by medical
examinations of drafted men. While
IN this country most of the cityschools
have adopted medical inspection,
most of the rural institutions have

unsanitary conditions IN these places
produce seventy-hve per cent. of the

raj communities have been found to

rural schools Improper desks and

curvature, leading to other faulty
conditions These conditions ought
to be corrected at once, and school
children all over the country should
be examined because defects arising
at their period of life as a rule can
not be overcome later

vation of procedure is not going to

THANKSGIVING

Ample harvests have been gathered,
While the days were going by;
Barns are full and earth has yielded
Plenty for a large supply.
Hills and valleys gray and hazy,
Stretch beneath the naples, bare
Frozen flakes of snow are falling,
And a sting is in the air.
Though November winds are sighing,
And the way seems cold and drear
Rosy flames dance on the hearthstone
And the home is full of cheer.
For the seed time and the harvest,
For the sunshine and the rain,
Gifts they are from the Great Father
We could sing joyful strain
We would lift our hearts in praises,
Unto Him who guides our way,
In the path of love and service,
And a glad Thanksgiving Day
Selected.

Miss FieIds Makinz Good

Having graduated in piano last
year at this school, Miss Ernestine
Fields Is now enrolled at the Amer
lean Conservatory. This Is one Of
this country's largest Conservatives,
having facluty of more than seven
ty teachers Miss Fields is studying
piano with Allen Spencer, acknow-
lodged as one of the best pedagogues
in piano. She is also studying com
position and orchestration with Ar
thur Olaf Andersen.
After q rather strict examination
at the beginning of the year, Miss
Fields was placed in the senior class
of piano and the post graduate class
OF composition. This shows that all
Of her work at the Fort Hays Normal
has been accepted.
In a recent letter to Mr.. Roberts,
Mr.. Spencer writes this: ''I am more
than pleased with Miss Fields, both
as regards her natural ability and
her preparation. have had few pu-
pills come to me as well prepared. I
am expecting her to accomplish
many things worth while during the
year"
In her composition course, Miss
Fields is doing some very interest
ing work at present Most of her
study so far has been the lingering Of
the violin and other instruments of
the orchestra and the composing of
figures. Her present work is ar
ranging well known piano numbers
for violin, viola, celia and piano.

WITH MALLOY's BATON
The Irish Personality of Director of
Music Often Appears to be
Called Upon

Called Upon
Henry Edward Malloy is true Irish.
Really he used to have the Irish ham
die on his name, but he dropped the
o., thinking we wouldn't know that
he was Irish. But there is no mistak-
ing that he is Irish when he gets up
to direct the singing, with that
twinkle in his blue eyes, that smile
that possibly hides another Irish char
times in spite of himself, with that
ever ready wit, and that Something
that makes US all sing whether we
want to or not. However, there
seems to be one person, in whom he
has not instilled the desire to express
himself IN song. This certain person
was threatened by Mr.. Malloy to be
"bawled out" in public. The. chal-
fenge being accepted, it seems queer
Mr.. Malloy has not fulfilled his threat.
Possibly his clark is worse than his
bite" or it may be that he has left
the "bite" to his little doy "Tige"
necessary requisites, with the excep-
ton that he is twelve years old and
is toothless, or since this certain per
son is an English instructor it may be
he hates to have his Irish with and
English language to clash in public.
But really, Mr.. MalIoy has this little
incident at heart, because he honest
1y believes that one is mentally def
cient if he cannot sing. He thinks
the Lord wouldn't make anyone so
that singing would be an impossible
ity. He also wants music in Western
Kansas to be a community enterprise,
not only for the trained singers, but
for all others who are mentally.
physically and morally balanced"
It seems that Fort Hays Normal in
the mind of Mr.. Malloy is finding
place in the map because now he says,
''They use to" where as, in time past
his hobby was "what we did in Linds-
borg" The most important thing
lacking, however, in Western Kansas
is that the people do not trill their
RS or pronounce their words as they
should be pronounced.
Although Mr.. Maloy's special talent
is along the line of music, he is in
terested in public affairs, easily i'm
pressed and when thoroughly
aroused can make a speech equal to
a trained orator. He is omnivorous in
reading and believes in "eat, drink
and be merry" Normal Leader.

DIED

Mrs Wolf Binder was born Nav z,
1860, and died IN the hospital Of this
city last Monday evening, November
19, 1917, at q few minutes past five.
She had been an almost constant suf-
ferer for four years sometimes the
pain being more than she could bear,
and during it all she expressed many
times the faith that she had that all
things were well with her, and she
merely longed for release from the
suffering. She united with the
church six years ago, and was as faith
full In attendance as she was per
mitted to be. On September 2S.
1912, she was united In marriage TO
Wolf Binder. He with his children,
to whom she was mother, are left TO
mourn her. She had no children of
her own, but she had a mothers
heart, and did all she could while she
suffered to fill the mothers place.
Her funeral took place from the
home conductd by the pastor Rev. E.
o. Rogers. The pail bearers were

Two Thousand Men, Women and Children in New York Engage in Big
 Demonstration

New York October 21.--Two thou- sand men, women and children Of Ger man birth or descent grouped around the Carl Schurz monument in Central park today, reaffirmed their allegiance to the United States and pledged them selves to aid to the end in waging war against "the enemies of liberty and freedom The meeting, which began as liberty loan rally, ended as an i'm : pressive patriotic ceremonial when the throng joined in singing the Star Spangled Banner"
 The singing of the national anthem, a number not on the programme, was begun without prompting from their elders by children assembled at the base of the statue of the American pa- triot of German birth. The childish treble rose to d triumphant chant as men and women took up the strain.
 Franz Sigel, son of General Sigel of civil war fame, who presided, moved his audience to a high pitch of enthu- siasm when he said:
 Ut is not necessary for Americans of German blood to affirm their pa- triotismy for our sons are lined up shoulder to shoulder in defense of jus ticc and liberty--the same principles for which Carl Schurz fought

Washington. October 21.--Senator La- Toilette issued a statement tonight de- nying and denouncing as 'libelous and mendacious" charges that he has been attempting to obstruct the liberty bond sale by circulating certain speeches made by him in the Senate during the war revenue bill debate. The senator assert ed that he had circulated only three pamphlets, printed at his own expense, containing portions of what he said dur ing the debate, for the sole reason that he believed it would laid in widening a public interest and in organizing a public opinion which would induce Con- gress at the next session tn more ade- quately and justly tax war profits and surplus incomes.''
 These pamphlets, he said included no part of a speech in which he referred to the Influence which the refusal of Con- gress to properly tax wealth might have upon the next bond sale This reference. he added, would have reposed in "harm- less security in the Congressional Rec oTd if newspapers, representing war proIlts had riot brought it out with their cnarge that he was franking it out by tne thousands.
