Boosts Local Paper

The Importance and value to the
state of the local newspapers were
emphasized in one exhibit at the state
fair at Syracuse, n. Y, recently. The
persons who visited the exhibit were
greeted by placard reading: "Has
your editor doubled the subscription
price and advertising rate of his pa
per? IL not, he needs to-" And this
declaration was backed up by the
statement that during the past four
years. 125 country newspapers went
out of business in New York.
Still another card pointed out that
eff the folks of the town did half as
much for the papers as the editor does
for the town, fewer country weeklies
would go out of business"
The exhibit was made by the state
college of agriculture at Ithaca, which
explained on a pIacard that the col
lege believes the local newspapers are
making a real contribution to the life
of their towns and may be ranked
with the church, the school and the
home and farm bureau as factors in
the life of a Publishers
Auxiliary.

REALLY, do you KNOW"
Live Stock Industry VIII Turn to
Better individuals

Live Stock Industry Will Turn to
Better individuals
Farmers everywhere are coming to
the realization that something must
be done, and live stock leaders are
saying: fDo you know that we must
feed cheaper feeds and feed them to
live stock of better natural qualities
in other words, better bred cattle
If we are to make profit"
Dean Farrell, of the Agricultural
department of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural College at Manhattan, sound
ed the slogan of cheaper feeds for
better bred live stock last spring, and
Weakened up a lot of Kansas and Mis-
souri, farmers who were gathered on
Cattlemen's Day at the Kansas Agri-
cultural College, To breed better
cattle, one must have ideals as to
what better cattle are. To get good
idea on the better beef breeds and
what can actually be accomplished in
beef cattle breeding so as to take the
very best advantage of the utilization
of the cheaper feeds, the cattleman
has only to visit Kansas City and the
American Royal Live Stock Show,
starting November 18th and continu-
ing one week. The big beef breed
cattle show will be held in Convention
Hall, this year, which means that Kan
sas City is going to be hostess to the
biggest gathering of beef breed cat
tIenen that it has entertained for Sc
veral years.
Convention Hall has housed the
American Royal several times, and al
ways in the best manner. Its facil-
tiles are adequate and it is warm and
cosy, and the beef breeds of cattle
can always be shown to the best adj
vantage in its big ARENAS large as
that of the Roman Coliseum where
the ancient Romans used to stage a
cattle show of another sort-with
men and women tied to the horns of
wild bulls-bulls about on a par for
manners and general physical quail
ties with the scrub bulls which farm
ers used to keep for breeding beef
cattle.

IMPROVE PHONE LINES
United Telephone Company Starts
Program of Betterment


The extensive program of improv-
ing the United Telephone lines is
under way and will be extended over
the entire system as rapidly as the
work can be done,
The principle exchange work this
year was laying underground con-
duits at Belleville, Lincoln and Nor
ton. Work at these points is COM
pleted and the underground cable
ordered but not yet received. New
underground conduit is now being
laid at Salina and Ellsworth. Approx
imately twelve miles of conduit is
being laid at Salina-
At Belleville the entire rural plant
has been rebuilt and at nearly all
other exchanges extra men have
been working, overhauling and re-
building the rural plants.
At Annapolis underground cable
was installed, making this an all
cable plant and removing all old
open wires and poles from the streets.
The toll line between Clay Center
and Concordia is being thoroughly
overhauled, some twenty miles being
an entirely new line and all old
poles being cut off, treated and re-
set. There is also an entire new
pole line from jamestown to Beloit
on the Concordia-Beloit line, and a
practically new line between Beloit
and Downs
Around Belleville the toll leads to
Cuba, Hubbell, Mahaska and Court
land are being entirely rebuilt, in
Guiding many miles of new pole line.
Poles are also on the ground for re
building the present line between
Ellsworth and Russell. Eventually
all the forty-six exchanges will have
| improvements added.

FIN. GIRLS HAVE A HOME
WOMAN'S BUILDING TO GIVE OP-
PORTUNITY FOR "HOME
LIFE" ON CAMPUS
Girls Give Parties as at Home


The five state schools of Kansas
have no dormitories The home life
of the girls of the student bodies, ex-
cept for favored small groups, has
been the boarding house-rooming
house type. But this year the Fort
Hays Normal will inaugurate ''home
life" by using its new Woman's Build
ing.
When the athletic departments
moved out of the old gymnasium into
the big Sheridan Coliseum there was
left commodious stone building with
one large room and five smaller ones
on one end. To have cut it up into
class rooms, much needed for the in
creased student body, would have cost
almost as much as a new building,
and there were no funds. In that
way the solution for the rooming
house problem for girls helped solve
itself.
The Woman's Building will contain
huge parlor with an equally huge
chairs, tables, settees, coy corner
sets, fine rugs-in fact the best parlor
furniture. When the state business
manager, James A. Kimball, saw the
bill for that furniture, he asked Pres
ident Lewis if it took his breath away:
There will be temporary screens to
break up the main parlor into smaller
ones to be used by small parties.
A complete kitchenette with cleo
trio equipment will be installed. Any
one girl or all the girls will have the
use of the kitchenette fro their own
parties. There will be a sewing room
with electrical sewing equipment. A
rest room with beds for those temper
arily i'll has been provided. The mez-
canine floor will contain a series of
tables with tiny and dainty light fix
lures.
This year at the Fort Hays Normal
when Miss Blank, any girl student,
wishes to give party to her friends
she may obtain the complete use of
the kitchenette and the use of the par
lor or part of it. She can prepare in
the kitchenette her own salads, sand
witches, cakes, tea. She may have her
own party in a purely personal way
in the same way that she and her mo-
Their would give it back in her home
town. Through efficient management
it is hoped the cost will be very small.
President Lewis desires to interpret as
nearly as possible the wishes of the
parents of Western Kansas and give
that social environment which is es-
sential to the best training in college
work.
The girls may entertain their
friends here and have the same assoc
iations that they would have in their
own homes-just as personal and just
as individual as any girl might wish.
The Woman's Building has no con-
nection whatever with home econom-
les or the domestic science and do
mestic art departments. The dean of
women, Miss Elizabeth J. Agnew, will
have her office in the building, ready
to assist any girl in every activity.

1T. MEADE RETURNS TO F. H. N.
Hay, Enright, Gresham in 10th Infan-
try with F. H. N. Boy.
Elmo Meade, one of the first boys
of the Fort Hays Kansas Normal
School to land in France, is enrolled
in school. 1t. Meade enlisted short
ly after war was declared and the fall
of 1917 found him in the trenches
with two former men of this school,
Ralph Burns and George Miller, who
landed at the same time with Meade.
The three men were with the 18th In
fantry of the First division.
In an interview granted to a re-
porter of the Leader, 1t. Meade gave
a graphic account of the first encount-
er with the German troops in which
Americans were killed
eve went into the front-line
trenches at midnight on the night of
November 8, 1917. About two O'Clock
the Germans began a box barrage on
the sector held by Co. E of our regi-
ment. The barrage lasted for forty
five minutes and under cover of the
barrage the Huns came over in a raid
which lasted for ten minutes. Appar-
emily the Germans gave US this recep-
ton because their observers had dis
covered that other than French troops
were holding that part of the line. In
this raid three of our men were killed,
five wounded, eleven taken prisoners.
One of the prisoners was Clyde
Grimsley of Stockton.
''The three Americans killed were
Hay, Gresham and Enright whose pic
lures were portrayed on Liberty Bond
campaign posters. The German Com
munique relating to the raid, read
"Our patrols operating in the Lune-
vile sector penetrated the enemy's
front line, capturing several prison
ers among whom we identified some
American soldiers" 1t. Meade Wis
tied the graves of Hay, Gresham and
Enright several days after the raid.
Since then the French have erected a
fine monument in memory of their
service.
"Our first service in the trenches
extended over ten days." continued
It. Meade. f'It was a quiet sector
that was generally held by new men
or troops who had met severe losses.
Gas attacks and patrol encounters
were the only disturbances"
'"The first division put in a severe
campaign during January and Febru-
airy, 1918 The men would sometimes
be compelled to wear wet clothing for
four or five days but no i'll health re-
suited. Sometimes the patrol would
crawl in snow six inches deep.
"About April first the first division
moved to the Somme front in the Pic
ardy sector. It was here the Germans
had broken through in their big mass
ed drive Here is where the Ameri-
cans won their first laurels in captur-
ing Cantigny. The first division re-
pulsed seven counter-attacks on this
town. The division continued for Sc
venty-four days in the front line be-
fore being relieved"
Meade secured his commission on
November /, 1918. He was then
transferred to the third division which
was preparing to march to Metz wher
the Armistice was signed. The third
division was part of the Army of DC.
cupation in Germany.

Manhattan, Kan, Sept. Solve
stock from the Kansas State Agricul-
tural College took cash prizes totaling
$2,341.3O at the Topeka and Hutch
inson fairs. In the steer classes col
lege animals won all frsts and ali
championships at both fairs.
The litter of senior Poland China
hogs which took first, second and
fourth in the futurity at Topeka was
the strongest class shown in years.
When II months, 10 days old the gifts
weighed 492 pounds apiece and the
boar weighed 500 pounds. They were
not shown at the Hutchinson fair ow-
ing to the fact that it was thought
advisable to return them to Manhat-
tan for the preparation for the Ma
tional Swine Show at Des Moines, the
first week in October.
In sheep the college took fifteen
out of a possible twenty champion
ships, besides 68 firsts, Ii seconds and
seven thirds.

championships, % frsts, eight seconds
and three thirds. Murdoch de 'Or,

by the college, won championships in
| his class at both fairs. At the age of
SO months this animal had attained
the remarkable weight of 2,150
pounds.
