THE VOYAGE OF LIFE

By courtesy of the Lyceum Enter
tainment Committee of this city, Rev.
W. r. Woodward, of Quinter, was in
vited to deliver lecture last Monday
evening, January 14th, at the Garden
Theater.
Perhaps there is nothing to be con-
demned more than fulsome praise, but
when we say that "The Voyage of
Life" the lecture which Rev. Wood
ward, delivered to large, attentive
and appreciative audience was one of
the best lectures ever given in our
city we feel that we are making a
statement which voices the opinion
of all who heard him. Mr.. Woodward
possesses rare gift of language, and
his oratorical ability ranks much
higher than many of our platform
speakers who come from places which
afford them larger opportunities than
Rev. Woodward has had. He is a
student and a deep thinker, and his

A SHORTAGE OF GOOD CORN,
KAFIR AND SORGHUM SEED

It has been many years since Kan
sas has faced such shortage of good
corn, kafir and sorghum seed as ex-
lists at the present time.
In a large part of the state prac-
tically no seed was produced this
season and in other parts where seed
was produced the amount is small and
the quality not the best. Usually good
seed of kafir and sorghum can be OBJ
tanned in Oklahoma or Texas but this
season it is as scarce in these states
as in Kansas. In fact seedmen from
Oklahoma and Texas are locating the
good seed that they can obtain in
Kansas for shipping to their states
for spring planting.
The seriousness, of the situation is
increased by the fact that there is a
very little old seed of corn, kafir, or
sorghum available this year. Good
seed was scarce last year and in many
localities, especially in north central
Kansas, practically all the good old
seed was used for planting the 1917
crop.
Because of the general scarcity of
seed, steps should be taken at once
to conserve all grain suitable for
seed purposes. We will appreciate
it very much if you will call this mat
ter to the attention of your readers
and urge:
Those who have produced good
seed corn, kafir, or sorghum to select
at once and save not only enough
seed for their own use, but additional
supplies to be sold to their neigh
bors or others in need of seed.
Those who have seed of the 1915
or 1916 crops that has been stored
select and save this for seed.
That farmers who have not sufi-
cient seed for spring planting be urg-
ed to secure it at once. If this is not
done the seed that is now available
may be sold for use in other states or
fed to stock and it may be very
difficult to secure Aseed at planting
time next spring.
The Agronomy Department of the
Kansas State Agriculture College will
be glad to assist farmers who wish
to locate market for good seed or
those who wish to secure a supply
of seed for spring planting. We will
appreciate anything that you, can do
to bring this matter to the attention
of your readers.
Very truly yours,
L. E. Call,
Professor of Agronomy

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

These are the kind of days to be
sick enough to have to stay to home.
Some of our people were sick enough
last Thursday.
96.2 percent of attendance for the
term to date is very good indeed. Our
record for December was little bet
ter than 96.2.
The Golden Belt Teachers meeting
will be held March z, and at Hays.
A large attendance and a good pro-
gram is expected.
At a regular meeting of the Board
of Trustees of Trego County High
School it was decided to teach Sat-
urdays each week for ten weeks so
as to be able to close on May 3rd.
Our Basket Ball schedule gives the
following games at home. Russell,
January IL; Wilson, January II; Hill
City, January %; Quinter, February
1; Ellis, February 8; Hays, February
% and Bunker Hill, March 1. This is
a splendid schedule and should please
everybody.
Prin. Niesley sent letters to the
parents of the High School to find
out their pleasure regarding the six
day week The answers were most
pleasing. The almost unanimous ex-
preston was Eve favor the idea but
will be satisfied with your decision"
"We will need our boy in the spring
but do not wish to profit at the ex-
pense of others" was another form of
answer. The spirit of hopefulness is
taking hold of our citizens and in a
splendid way indeed.

Despise not the day of small things;
an old Scotch proverb says "mony a
little makes a muckle."
If every family in the United
States would save one shovelful OF
coal per day the amount saved in one
day would load a coal train extending
from Wa-Keeney to Hays City. A
hundred of such days would load a
string of cars stretching from New
York to San Francisco.
You don't believe it? Of course not,
because you have made no estimates
and the problem is too large to be
comprehended at first thought. Take
your pencil and make some calcul-
ations based on the following data:
There are 1OO,0O0,0O people in this
country and the average number is 5
persons to the family. A shovelful of
coal will weigh about 10 pounds, and
1000 pounds make a ton. Consider
25 tons a load for a 40-foot car. The
distance from Wa-Keeney to Hays Is
about 80 miles, which is approximate
ly one hundreth part of the distance
from New York to SanFrancisco. Get
your pencil and go to it,
