TWO WRESTLING MATCHES
ARE HELD AT LOWE HALL

There were two wrestling matches
held in this city last week at Lowe's 8
hall, the first match being held Fri
day night, between John Donnelly,
who lives on the south table, and Ben
Zersen, recently of Omaha, but now
a resident Of the south table. In the
match between Donnelly and Zersen,
Zersen got the first fall from Donnely
in 16h minutes, and took the second
fall in 21h minutes. However Dom
nelly put up a good match against
his opponent, considering the fact that
Zersen, who was a former training
partner of Stranger Lewis, and is in
a professional class.
On Saturday afternoon Jack Ryan
Of Columbus, Nebr., met Zersen on
the mat. In this match Zersen got
his first fall from Ryan in 20 min
utes, Ryan sustaining two broken ribs
and was forced to retire. Zersen was
to have have received 60 per ce il
he won, but owing to Ryan's misfor-
tune, Zersen divided fifty fifty with
Ryan in the gate receipts, showing his
good grace.

watching the bean and wheat markets

At no time in the history of Sedg-
wick county has land been changing
more rapidly than at the present time.
And it is selling at very good prices.
Good crops here and attractive farm
prices are bringing this county to the
notice it properly deserves. No doubt
the war has stimulated the develop
ment of Sedgwick county fifteen
years. Permanent improvements as a
result Of the present crop will go
steadily forward for the next twelve

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The school work for another year
has now started in earnest. The stud
ents have taken on their school air and
We believe that this year will prove Q
good one as to scholarship. not only
for the fact that we have two of last
Year, teachers back. but also one who
was here for several years until last
year and two new ones whom we real
ize will do their best for the students
and the school. The enrolment cards
show . large increase in the number
Of students over last year.
The Freshman class this year is the
largest class to enter High School for
the last three years.
Gymnasium work has been started
with Miss Gallagher as instructor.
The girls hope to accomplish some
thing more in this department this
year than ever before.
A meeting of the Seniors was held
last week and the following officers
were elected for the coming year:
President, Dick Matoush; Vice-Presi-
dent, Jettie Pyle: Treasurer, Nettie
Shepard; Secretary, Beulah Dee.
Mr.. John Mellen spoke to the stud
ents in Chapel period Wednesday.
His talk was greatly enjoyed by the
faculty and students and we expect to
have more of them this year.
1t seems to be the opinion and feel
ing of all that Miss Gallagher came
to the right place when she came to
s. C. H. s. Miss Gallagher il . grad
uate of one of Chicago's high schools,
q graduate from the University Of H.
inois and has taught in Illinois and
Colorado. We can only hope that she
will like US as we do her and feel that
the S. C. H. S. really needs her.

many friends Of this popular
couple in extending hearty congratu-
lations, and wishing them an abund.
ance Of success upon the sea Of mat

Along with this marriage is accom-
panied an unusual romance for the
reason that Ray is in the draft list of
Sedgwick county's quota for Uncle

BILLION BUsHEL WHEAT CROP

In the work now going on here it is
easy to see that We are doing our best
70 raise the billion bushels Of wheat
the nation has asked for next year;
. large amount Of wheat is already
sown and every one is working over
time to get land ready for more; the
sowing will be larger than ever before
and the ground is in better condition
than last year. In fact the notion Of
bettef farming il in the minds of farm
ers in this section in these days Of
high prices.
Another promising feature of con-
ditions is the increased amount of al
falfa sown this year. As the grain
crops have been taken off we find
young alfalfa showing through the
stubble and where the ground has been
watered the stubble is hidden; all who
have followed these agricultural let
ters know that we have urged the SOW
ing of more alfalfa to take the place
Of the large amount that has been
plowed under. We must keep up our
alfalfa supply if we are to hold our
place As = feeding center.
In the fixed price of $500 = bu. for
the 1918 crop Of wheat most farmers
are fairly satisfied. The price of $2.15
to $3.50 for the present crop is not 50
generally approved. The farmer
feels that in the unusual shortage he
should have more than the price set.
Price fixing is something that can
not satisfy all parties and it may be
necessary to remember that we are
At war and all have to sacrifice some
thing. We are sending 3s young men
from our county to do our fighting at
the front. These men are making a
great sacrifice. Still more men will
be called later. Surely the man who
has the privilege of staying at home

bitterly Of the car shortage, blamed
FOR mills now running one-fourth TO
one-haH normal.
G. G. Riegger, of the Gould Grain
company, Minneapolis, said he knew
of five thousand empty cars IN the
Twin City yards being purposely held
by the railways, ostensibly "tn BAD
order"
Harry P. Gallagher. of the North
western Consolidated Milling Co.,
joined in this complaint. Traffic Of
ficfals of the Omaha line admitted
cars were deliberately being held,

the humanitarian necessity of thctr
use for coal, in case Of a famine.
"Once a car is loaded and shipped

doubt" this official said. The North
western Miller, however, predicts
veritabie flour famine for the east,
very soon. The Miller says last
weeks output Of flour at Minneapolis
of 221 $40 barrels. was 1855 barrels
below the preceding week, while the
1916 yield was 355,S95 barrels.
Relief Hoped for.
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Relief from
the danger Of food shortage in New
York was hoped for today In steps
taken to rush cars west in order to
oarry supplies to New York. A ser
ious shortage Of flour and wheat in
the east probably will be relieved by
promises here to turn In an empty for
every loaded car sent from the west.
Several railroads have agreed i'm
mediatelv to begin sending solid trains
of empty cars west and south, these
trains to have the right Of way over
all others except passenger trains.
En- bargoes will stand until NUM-
lions and other supplies are unloaded
from cars in New Jersey and New
YORK terminals for shipment to Eu-
rope.

No embargo has yet been placed

that the flour mills for several weeks
