The young people will have two story
hours Saturday morning at the public
library, the first at 9:30 O'Clock and
the second at 1890. Miss Paxson of
the school library will tell the stories.
The first is persephone.o The next
story is about The Boy and the Goat =
and the third tells of "The Man, the
Boy and the Donkey" The story hours
have become so popular that all could
not be accommodated at the one telling
OF the stories and it was found neces-
sary to arrange for two separate hours,
each with the same stories.

She has golden hair. Her eyes are

These few remarks are intended for
the man who owns some low land along
the river banks. Yesterday a 10 inch
snow fell at Black Rock and at various
places on the mountains. There is more
snow in the hills and mountains than
is usual for this time of year. The river
now is at Il gauge of 81 feet and the
rain continues to fall. Now if there is
moro rainfall and the weather turns a
little warmer, all that snow in the
mountains will be coming down the rfv-
! er in a few days. There has been rain
fall regularly for the past five days
and the river is now tive feet higher
than it was four days ago There has
been no spring freshet as yet, but the
man who has lived on the river for sew
leral years, says the conditions are now
about right for high water.

The Washburn players and substi-
tutes accompanied by Coach Ken
nedy, Assistant Coach De Beukelaer
and Student Manager Heller, will leave
Topeka at O'Clock this afternoon and
expect to return at midnight.
Both Teams Are Ready
The Washburn coaches announce
that their men are all in good physi-.
cal condition, but that many of them
need more experience, and there is not
any boasting of victory before it is
won. 1t is realized that W. o. Hamil-
ton is one of the foxiest and best
coaches in the Missouri Valley and
with the large number of men he has
to pick from it is freely admitted that
the dope should be on his quintet
But, just the same, the Ichabods are
confident they will be able to make
things more interesting than the 1916
team did for the Kansans.
A report from Lawrence states that
the K. u. gym has been fitted up in
amphitheater style for the game and
that a packed house is expected to wit
ness the clash. A band will be on
hand to make music between periods
and to liven things up generally.
Other Teams Start.
Also, tonight and tomorrow night,
most of the Kansas conference teams
will get into action, and those who are
interested in the title race will be Civ
en- their first chance to dope possible
title winners when these scores are all
in. Bethany meets Mcpherson at Nc
PherSon tonight.
Among the teams scheduled to play
tomorrow night are: c. of E. against
ottawa, at Ottawa; Kansas Wesleyan
against Hays Normal, at Hays; Cooper
against Paramount, at Wichita.
Friday night c. of E. will play Baker
at Baldwin, Kansas Wesleyan and
Hays will clash again and several 9TH
er tentative games are scheduled. Sat
urday night Washburn will play the
Kansas Aggies at Manhattan.
