Bunny Gross Heard From

Wednesday morning, the writer
was shown some interesting pictures
taken of the 18th field artillery and
the 34th Infantry at Fort Bliss, Texas
Among the artillery we could readily
recognize Bunny Gross, one of the
soldier boys from Hays. A football
game was. recently played between
the artillery and the infantry In
which neither side scored. That was
some game. 1t was hOtly contested.
We quote the following from Fort
Bliss newspaper:
''The game was not so much a con
test of ''inside" football as it was a
fray which brought out the most
that every player could give on the
defensive and offensive as we'll"
For the artillery men, the work of
fullback Schultz, formerly crack
j player on the Ames team, stared. He
was the main ground gamer of the
backfeld through the line. Quarter
| back Gross also played fine football
and went especially we'll on end run
and forward pass.
: The artillery eleven is made up en-
tirely of men from colleges with q
| .sprinkling of High school boys,
among whom Bunny Gross seems to
be one of the stars.
G.. A. Miller was coach of the High
School team where Bunny received
his first instruction in this world
wide and popular game, and he is
making good. We are sure when he
! faces the Huns on a French battle
! ieid he will also make good.

A Great Servies

As was anticipated, a large audi
ence was present to listen TO the spec
ial patriotic program at the Metho-
dist church on Sunday evening. Had
a sn0wstorm not threatened early IN
the evening, the house would not
have been able to hold the crowd
for the service, held in honor of
our boys with the colors, and Rev
Hale's address was, "World Liberty"
However, the address was cut to ff-
ten minutes because Liuetenant Mil
lard Crane was present and the time
was shared with him. Lieut. Crane be-
sides being earnest has a jovlal man
ner and humorous way OF telling
things that is irresistible He spoke
of army life in general and that Of
Camp Funston IN particular. After
piano prelude by rms Wood, the
choir and audience sang Faith of
our Fathers" A solo by Miss Elma
Creighton, ''The Ninety and Nine"
was very well received. Miss Creigh-
ton has q full, well trained voice
and possesses q most winsOme person
ality. Mr. Christopher number
a euphcnium solo, accompanied by
Mr.. Roberts on the piano, was very
much enjoyed Mr. and Mrs Malloy
never sang better than IN their du-
| ct, ''The Lord is my Leader" f'Flag
Beloved" and do not Fear, Little
! Mother were two poems read by
Mrs. Hale and in keeping with the
occasion. At the close of the singing
of America" the special verse fol
lowing this article was sung with great
enthusiasm, led by Mr.. Malloy. While
the pastor read out sthe fifty-three
names of young men who have gone
into the country's service from the
Methodist Sunday School and congre-
cation, two of the Epworth League
girls held up the beautiful new ser
vice flag which will hang on the wall
back of the pulpit so long at the war
shall last; and as new ones go to
serve, extra stars will be added. And
if it happens that any of our precious
boys should die, the blue star will be
replaced by one IN gold. Printed pro-
grams and roll of honor were distri-
buted to the audience who will wish
to send them, with this write-up, to
the boys. Addresses may be OBJ
/ tanned of most of the boys from the
pastor or the Secretary of the Ep-
worth League
"God save our splendid men,
Send them safe home again.
God save our men.
Keep them victorious,
Patient and chivalrous,
They are so dear to US,
God save our men,"

High School Items

The high school and the grades
were dismissed for Thanksgiving day.
School was in session yesterday, Fri
day, because it was school day and
school is in session today, to make up
the complement of five days for this
week. The Teachers contracts call
for a nine months term OF twenty
days a month. 1t is the purpose OF
the Board of Education to approx
mate as nearly as possible the $50
days; hence the sessions on Saturday
to make up time lost on holidays
School is not held on Saturday be-
were in attendance at the State Asso-
citation as some have supposed.
Although the management did not
secure the special train for which
they obtained the signatures Of ] SO
people to take the crowd to Wa
Keeney, to see the battle between the
football eleven of the two schools,
turkey day, about fifty town support
ers of the athletes went IN cars and
cheered the boys on to a victory OF
13 to 9, over their ancient friendly
enemies This win gives the Golden
Belt championship to the Hays boys
for the third consecutive year. There
is great rejoicing in the house of the
high school this weekend.
The basketball girls had their first
practice in the new gymnasium Mon
day afternoon. Before this they have
been practicing under the supervi-
sion of Cecilia Dorney in the Normal
gymnasium.
The class in agriculture visited the
Experiment Station Tuesday, to have
lesson in judging wheat, corn and
| other small grains.
Fred Dreiling gave the boys of the
first and the second teams the annual
dance last Friday night. Several Of
the old letter men were present.
Earl Preston one Of last years
sophomores enrolled m the junior
class last Monday. Earl has been at
tending school at Russell, until this
week. Earl belongs to that class Of
students that faculty and students
are glad to welcome back

The PuhIic School

The new organization or the
grades made possible by the removal
of the High School from the grade
building is working splendidly.
cupy the upper floor, the lower grades
the first floor. The recesses of the
two groups come at different times,
thus giving more room on the play
ground, and separating the larger
children from the little folks. The
first four grades have 3 ten minute
intermission at the end of each hour.
The teachers find the four short rec
reation periods per day keeps the
children in much better physical con-
dition, prevents fatigue and results
IN better progress in their studies.
The upper grades have one intermis-
sion each session-at 1O:45 and
2:45- Mr.. Carmen directs the boys
in their play at all intermissions and
the lady teachers take turns supervis-
ing the girls. This plan eliminates
the common evil Of playground disor-
der and keeps the children busily en-
gagged In wholesome exercise and
play.
Systematic physical training is Civ
en- the grades every Wednesday af-
ternoon in the new High School gym.
From fifteen to twenty-five minutes
are given to each grade IN turn Miss
Cecilia Dorney directs the work, as
sisted by the teachers. The work
consists of marching games, dumb
bells, Indian clubs, rhythmic work,
etc. Parents are invited to visit on
Wednesday afternoons and see this
very helpful and interesting work.
Due largely to the encouragement
and direction given by the teachers,
the patronage of the public library by
the school children is very gratifying
and is growing steadily. The habit Of
reading good literature should be en-
couraged. A boy or girl who loves
good books and habitually reads good
literature is not likely to go astray.
The High School gym has been pro-
vided with basketball goals, the
court has been marked and every
thing is ready for basketball prac-
tice.
Our custodian, Will Wagner, with
the assistance of his brother, Jake,
for part time, keeps the plant IN fine

one wants something done, "Where's

the football science that Coach Car
men has been instilling into his eleven
won the day The first touchdown
was made in the first five minutes of
play, when Captain Shuts recovered
a tumble and the team pushed 1t over
the goal line. The next points were
made in the beginning of the second
quarter when the home lads pulled
an outside kick and fell on the ball be-

of the first half At the opening of
the third quarter the High School was

pulled a series of forward passes and
was able to make a touchdown, max
ing the final score 1 TO 9. The chief
ground gamers for Hays were, All

CHILDREN STARVED TO
DEATH ON BABY FARMS
Omitted Pressl

CHICAGO, Feb 26-The city council
health committee and juvenile court
officials headed by Alderman Willis o.
Nance, today started a fight on pro-
fessional "baby farms" in Chicago.
The action is the outgrowth of an
investigation. Officials estimate that
more than five hundred babies, from
four months to four years old, are be-
ing starved to death in the baby
boarding houses" every year
The average charge for keeping a
baby is SO week, of which the land
lady" spends sixty cents for the
childs food, the rest being pocketed as
profit.
Besides crowding dozens of babies il
to filthy novels, where they slowly die
of mal-nutrition, commonly known as
starvation, and attendant diseases
many of the houses are abortion mills
where a baby will be disposed of,
for $25 or $50, the Investigators found
Babies are said to be carried out for
burial in suitcases.
About one-fourth of the babies are
illegitimate," said Arthur A. Guild, Of
ficer of the Juvenile Protective asso-
citation "In many cases the children
come from homes where the father Oh
mother has deserted the family. And
there are a few instances where q
family is able to take care of the baby
but does not want it around"
