MAYDAY FIGHT CAUSED
MUCH EXCITEMENT IN TOWN
Twelve Boys Had Hair Clipped
Others Got the Bad Eggs.

Disregarding the pleadings OF
Supt. w. A. Stacey and his threats
to expel all who took part, many
high school students had a regular
May day fight in the city Tuesday
evening. The juniors and freshmen
were against the seniors and sopho-
mores. Bad eggs and spoiled yege-
tables we're used in a sham battle
which occurred near the Standard
Oil filling station. 1t was not de-
cided which side won the fight there
but nearly every person who took
part came out of 1t covered with
eggs
A number of the boys had BARRIERS
clippers and succeeded in catching a
dozen victims. The hair was cut off
in patches making 1t necessary to
have all the hair shaved off. Three
boys were put in the cooler for an
hour but when they were released,
they were right back in the fight
again. The custom of a May day
fight is an idea of the past ages and
this is the first one to occur in Abb
lene for five years. The students did
not try to get their colors at the top
of the pole or paint their numbers
on the school building. 1t was sim
ply scrambling fight to see which
side could do the more damage to
the other. Clothes we're ruined and
good eggs, the bad ones having
given out early in the evening, were
wasted. Some of the students
thought the fight displayed school
spirit but nothing stands today to
show where any loyal spirit to
class entered in the mob
A fight with disastrous results oc-
Cured at the II. r. Little place
where many Juniors and freshmen
were hidden in the Little barn. A
volley was fired from the barn but
the seniors and sophomores made
grand offensive and took the barn
by storm. The juniors were COM
pletely covered with eggs and several
Of them had their hair clipped The
broken eggs and other sorts of am
lay scattered about the
barn today.
The eggs were gathered from near
by farmers who were glad to get rid
IF them. Several boys had hands
lull of tar which they found much |
lelight in rubbing into their victim
lair. The effects of the May day !
light will be seen in Abilene for sew
,ral weeks to come.

NATIONAL ORGANIZATION
FOR THE STATE NOW.
y ~ TIT
County Food Administrator

Authorization from the war depart
ment was receiver yesterday by Char
les S. Huffman, adjutant general, to
permit Kansas to equip and enlist
three regiments of infantry, one regi-
ment of cavalry and one squadron of
cavalry This will give a military
strength of approximately 1000 men,
equivalent to the old national guard
of the state at the time of its feder-
alization last summer.
All men in the new national guard
will be subject to border or coast
duty or such service as may be desig-
mated in this country, but will not
be called into service overseas. No
details of the organization of the new
national guard have been worked out
by Adjutant General Huffman. Many
Abilene men have approved the idea
of originating a national guard.

The Vacant Chair.
There's one vacant chair at the table,
In almost every home.
Where the boys have been called to
the colors,
And with them our hearts doth
roam.
There are many sweethearts, wives
and mothers,
All praying the same sweet prayer;
That God will protect those loved
ones,
Away, away "over there"
They're dancing and singing Old
Glory,
Those boys across the sea;
They're singing the songs of freedom
They learned in the Y. M. G. A.
This one vacant chair at the table,
Is waiting for him you see;
When he shall return, hero,
Who has made the old flag free.

Many of them will Ego over the top"
And many, no doubt, will fall.
Many of the boys are so young to go,
Their lives have been free from
care,
And the "motherless days" will be
as long for them
AS the "boyless days" are here.
The "wheatless day" is just for day
And you know it will soon be gone
But the "boyless days" are endless
days,
That go on and on and on.
he "meatless days are nothing at
all,
There is always something to take
their place;
Iut in the "boyless homes" there Is
not thing
That will fill the place of a boyish
face.
hen forget your troubles Of the
"wheatless days"
And the "meatless days. that come /,
nd try to make it brighter day
For the boys away from home.
nd send up prayer for the boyless
homes
Whose sons have gone over the sea

and stripes, T
That shelter you and me. /
