ager Mack called for the end of daily
practice at an early hour last evening
and about all that featured the work
was an improvement in batting. Ping
Bodie, Strunk and Thrasher took 1t
upon themselves to swing literally
against some fast ones offered by
young twirlers. Bodie claims that he
landed the majority of safe swats in
a six-inning encounter. Thrasher
swung so viciously in the afternoon
that he twisted his neck and COM
planned of a little soreness at dinner
time. There was very little change in
the regular infield. Ray Bates con-
tinues to show a steady hand at field
ing and a wicked swipe at the bat.
st. Petersburg, Fla, March 1.-THE
first baseball game at the training
camp of the Phillies yesterday over
the five-inning route resulted in VIC
tory for Bill Killefer's Yanigans over
Pat Moran's regulars. The f1nal count
was to in favor of the Yanigans,
largely because they pounced upon the
delivery of Norman Lutz, the big Ca
madam right-hander, in the first inning
for four tallies.
Away to flying start of four runs,
Pitcher Craig took things easy and
had no trouble holding the varsity
team to three tallies in five innings.
Had it not been for lapse of control
on his part in the second and third
innings, the scoring rounds of the
regulars, Craig could have BANKED the
opposition. In these rounds he walked
men at inopportune times.

.AMUSEME ENTS
"ALONE AT LAST"
A MUSICAL GEM
Franz Lehar's Show Heard
Last Night With Excellent
Soloists and Charm

Those of the audience who attend
ed the Schubert's production of "Alone
at Last" free adaptation from Franz
Lehar's ".Endlich Allein," were in
deed treated to a musical feast thus
far in the present season incompara-
BILE in operetta. Likewise, those who
expected something akin to the same
authors former popular success, "The
Merry Widow found that there was
vast difference in the relative make
ups of the two plays. "Alone at Last
is a musical gem. The Merry Widow"
was infinitely more vivacious and
sparkling than this last But "Alone
at Last" is none the less beautiful
because it is the less vivaciouS. Melody
of a rare order for operetta charac-
terizeS "Alone at Last" and voices of
a rare order interpreted the music.
The ensemble was perfect, and the de-
liciouS harmony was most beautifully
sung. And so, too, were the solos,
duets and trios which sprinkled the
entire piece. Good voices were need
ed, and good voices there were. Nota-
BILE among the voices were those of
Mabel Weeks as Dolly Cloverdale,
FRITZ Won Busing as Tillie Dachau,
two sopranos of unusual beauty, quail
ity and range; Forrest Huff as Baron
Franz Won Busing, who possesses a
rare tenor voice of range and tim
bre. The comedy honors goes to Harry
Conor and Robinson Hewbold, as
Count Spenningen and his son, re-
spectively. The latter had particu-
larly good opportunity in his song,
Some Little Bug Will Get You Some
Day." a song the words of which have
had publication in this paper.
AS a whole, "Alone at Last" was
scenically and musically perfect.
Action and plot gave way to these two
elements, but this did not mar the
piece. "Alone at Last" was excel
lent entertainment.

Topeka, April II, 1917.
Graduates of State Educational In
stitution Somewhere in Kan
sas."
Dear Friends:
Kansas educational institutions
have graduated 1887 men and wom-
en-, of whom you are one. These are
located in every county Of the state.
1t Is probably true that you attended
school for selfish purpose. You
expected to derive personal gain
from your college work No doubt you
have succeeded in some measures.
The state provides means for edu-
cation in order that the state may
benefit by raising the standard of
citizenship and by the benefit you
may be to the community In which
you cast your lot.
America is facing q great crisis.
Kansas has duty to perform. We are
an agricultural community. We must
feed and clothe ourselves. In addi-
ton to this we must furnish food and
clothing for the thousands who are
not SO fortunately located. Kansas
has helped SOu in providing oppor-
tunities looking towards your educa-
ton. The present furnishes you an
opportunity to pay the state for its
investment in you.
There are three ways in which you
may satisfy this obligation. The first,
and seemingly the most heroic, is en-
listing for actual service in the army
or navy. Second, and equally patriot
ic and important, is the conservation
to service in your home community
wherein you will encourage those
more fit to enlist in actual army OF
navy service. Third, no less patriot
| ic than the other, and even more i'm
portant IN serving your country, is to
| offer your services in economic pro-
! blems of food production, elimina-
| ton of waste, and the conservation
! of the necessities of life.
There is a necessity in your com
munity of some one beginning at once
the organization of garden clubs, Pc
tato clubs, tomato clubs canning club.
| pig raising clubs and in giving youl
talents to aid farmers, truch gardener.
and stock raisers in solving tbs
problems incident to the approaching
| crop and harvest season, and in bring
| ing about the greatest possible elimi
nation of waste of food.
May Kansas count on you?

Conservation at Fort Hays

HAYS, April 17.-With the call for
students to intensively cultivate sixty
acres of the campus by irrigation, the
call for one hundred girls to raise one
hundred chickens while going to
school and with the enlistment Of the
football captain, E. H Cummings, IN
the army and baseball captain Emer-
son Felts, IN the navy, the Fort Hays
Normal felt its first genuine war thrill
today.
Last year ten acres were used by
Prof. E. B. Matthew for project work
in agriculture and seven boys sold
twenty-seven hundred dollars from
their class work. He announced today
in general assembly that the sixty acres
would be planted TO get the maxi
mum food value for the nation re-
CARELESS of the money. The project
work here has attracted nation wide
interest and since the call for increas-
ed production Matthew has received
requests from all over the country
seeking information as to what stu
dent bodies can do TO help. His plan
is to permit students boys and girls
TO go to school, help IN production,
and pay their way at the same time
Girls were turned away from class
rooms today at the meeting to organ
ize for chicken raising project, the
crowd was so great
Matthew will double crop the sixty
acres and intensively farm 1t by irri-
cation. The first crop viii be pota-
toes, beans, and sweet corn for dry
ing followed by the canning and pre-
serving crops of beans, tomatoes, Gu
cumbers, pumpkins, and sQuashes-

Dear Mr.. Miller:
I am in receipt of your letter of
Aril IL, expressing your approval of
my stand for the volunteer plan for
increasing the military strength of
the country. I am against conscrip-
ton until the manhood of the coun-
try is given an opportunity to volun-
teer; then if this fails to get the re-
quired number of men l am willing
for the draft to be APPLIED.
With reference to the government
undertaking to control the price of
foodstuffs, l do not believe anything
of this kind is now contemplated but
of course if later developments made
it necessary for some such action
Congress would no doubt take the
matter in hand.
'T want to see the first half mil
lion men put into training the quick
est possible way. It will take sever
al months to get complicated machin-
cry of the proposed CONSUMPTION law
into operation and the first conscript
under it into a training camp. The
vital defect into the plan of the Ad-
ministration IS that it wastes fully
three months valuable time during
which we should be organizing and
training the thousands of men who
are ready, anxious, and willing to
volunteer. Therefore, l am propos-
