THOSE HALLOWEEN PARTIES

The young peoples societies of the
churches of the city combined forces
and gave a Halloween social at the
High School gymnasium last Friday
eyening for the students of Trego
County High School and for all the
young folks of the city. The most of
them were there and they all had a
good time. In fact, if they did not
have a good time it was their own
fault and because they did not enter
into the games and amusements ap-
propriate to the evening. The
costumes and masks worn were var
led but fitting to the occasion. Hal
lowe'en refreshments were served.
The Eastern Star room in the Ma
sonic temple has remained unfurnish-
ed since the erection of the building
but the ladies have decided that some
thing must be done to get it in a more
attractive condition, hence, they plan
ned and carried out halloween party
and luncheon at the lodge room last
Friday evening. The guests were sup
posed to wear masks appropriate to
the evening, but the gentlemen SEEM
ed to either be afraid to mask or to
consider that they did not need mask
ing, and only three or four of them
complied with the request The ladies
did much better and in their makeup
were many ghosts, witches, goblins
and unique characters. The refresh
ments consisted of coffee, sandwiches,
doughnuts, pumpkin pie and popcorn
balls. The most attractive masquer-
ader was Ernest Hillman who appear
ed as a ssWeary Willie" and created a
great deal of amusement. He was so
successfully disguised that even his
| close friends could not at first recog-
nize him and would hardly believe
their eyes after they were told who he
was.

THREE HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Last Sunday evening between and
O'Clock an automobile in which
Dewey Staatz and Miss Nellie Kite
and Miss Virginia Morgan were rid
ing turned turtle at the railroad cross
ing and turn in the Golden Belt road
at the east side of town and all three
received painful injuries but FORUM
ately none of them have proven very
serious Mr. Staatz, who was driving
the car received the most serious in
juries. They were riding in built
over racer car and were going at a
high speed when the right front
wheel broke. Before the car could
be stopped it quickly turned over
throwing the ladies several feet but
clear of the car. In his endeavors to
control the car Dewey remained in his
seat and as it turned over he was
caught under it. He was unconscious
for a short time from the shock but
did not appear to be injured inter
nally. He was badly damaged about
the face, receiving ugly wound
across the ear and mouth. His nose
was also broken and several teeth
knocked out George Musgrave, of
sOgaIlah township, who was coming in
to Wa-Keeney at that time, picked up
the injured people and brought them
to town. Mr. Staatz was examined at
Dr. Burnett's office and it was decided
to take him to the hospital at Hays
for treatment and care. The ladies
were taken to the T. w. Maynard
home where they are rooming and
were examined by DIR. Herrick. No
bones were found to be broken but
they were badly shaken up and were
suffering from the shock. At present
all three are getting along as well
can be expected and promise to be
all right again. The car was also con-
siderably damaged

DISCUSSED SCHOOL AFFAIRS

If there had been hundred people
present and they had shown much
interest in school affairs and the dis
cussions on school subjects as the
small number of patrons of Trego
County High School who did attend
the parent-teachers meeting at the
high school building last Friday after
noon, there sure would have been q
lively time. In fact there would not
have been time enough for them all
to have had something to say The
meeting was called by J. III. Nies1ey,
principal of the high school, and in
vitations were sent to all the patrons
but for various reasons only few of
them responded. Surely their lack of
attendance is not because of a lack of
interest in the school and school work!
It is hoped not anyway. There was
larger representative of patrons from
the country than the city. Several sub
jects pertaining to the interests of the
school, school work, the pupils and the
faculty were enthusiastically and
openly discussed. The object of this
meeting was for the purpose of Great
ing a more thorough understanding
between patrons and teachers in
school work. A decided freedom and
frankness in both asking and answer
ing questions by patrons and teachers
was manifest ted and the best of feel
ing prevailed. Another meeting of
this kind Is to be called in the near
future and it should be better attend
ed by the parents of the students of
the school
One of the subjects brought out un-
der the head of social affairs for the
students was the suggestion that a
larger and better gymnasium should
be built in which all kinds of games
and amusements and social affairs can
be held and conducted under proper
management and proper conditions.
This is an important matter and will
be leader subject for discussion at
the next parent-teachers meeting. A
resolution was passed authorizing
Principal j. H. Niesley to present his
proposition to the ttSoldiers Memoir
iaf' committee which has for some
time been trying to decide upon some
sort of a memorial which will suitably
represent all parts of the county
At the close of the meeting the
students of the domestic science
classes served cocoa and waters to
those present. The results of their
work in canning fruits and vegeta-
bles and in domestic art were also on
display.

RIM o. THE WORLD HILL CLIMB
ING RECORD MADE ON RED
GROWN

When Charles Basle a few days
ago drove his Peerless Eight over the
famous Rim o the World hin climb
ing course in record time he was
using Red Crewn Gasoline. c. S.
Stone, in his Essex who was second,
also had Red Crown in his tank.
Uuquestionably this course, which
covers eight miles of grade ranging
from five to eighteen per cent
through the Waterman Canyon near
San Bernardino, is one of the sever
est tests motor fuel can have any
where in the country. There is
hardly a straight stretch Of road in
the whole distance and the inumer-
able sharp curves and twists, COM
bined with the grade, present diff
culties can only be overcome by
car using the best quality of gaso-
line.
This Rim O. the World Hill Climb
ing Contest is one of the few stock
car events regularly held in Cali
fornia. That the two winning cars
should both have used Red Crown is
a tribute to the quality and steady
power that it posses "a every day use.
The high quality of Red Crown was
again demonstrated under the heavy
strain of this hill climbing event.
AS straight distilled, all refinery
gasoline it has the full and complete
chain of boiling points necessary for
consistent performance. Low boiling
points give easy starting, medium
boiling points quick and smooth ac-
celeration, and high boiling points
give steady. dependable power and
long mileage.

OF WEEDS; PROFIT
IS MADE AS WELL,

". S. Mccullough, who resides q
half mile east of Taylor Ridge, has
undertaken an experiment this
summer in an attempt to eliminate
The unsightly weeds that always
grow along farm fence lines, and 1t
has not only accomplished its in
itiaI purpose, but has proven eX-
tremely profitable to him as well.
Along a 270 foot fence. separat-
ing his orchard from the corn field,
MT. Mccullough sOWed goose
beans, and he now has a fine crop,
standing as high as the fence, and
making an unusually attractive
sight in place of the disorderly
weeds. From this crop Mr.. McCul-
Tough expects to gather<three bush
els of seeds. Goose beans seeds are
now selling at SIS a bushel so Mr..
Mccullough will realize a very nice
little profit, in addition to the great
benefit that his successful expert
ment will accomplish, if other
farmers follow his example in rid
ding their farms of this nuisance.
