 From the Prince

a girl from the heir to the Britist throne?
 All through the dance the prince had to trust to luck on girls. He iS not a good dancer, but he made quite hit among the Americans because of his democratic behavior. While he is generally known as retiring lad he is not bashful, as this incident will show. He was again dancing with the prettiest girl when Major Bozeman Bulger, head of the press section, cut dance and took his girl.
 The prince got her back next dance, wheE Bulger cut in again. Again the prince regained the girl, and the major tried again and got the girl. Just then the music stopped
 Serves you right, sir" said the prince.
 Major General Dickman regularly attended these dances, while Major General Hines of the Third corps is known as a most enthusiastic dancer. He never misses one.

BASE BALL DOPE

Last Sunday the game between Wa
Keeney and CollyeE- was played to
$500 crowd. It was a fast game, full
of thrills for the many fans on both
sides. Yet perfect order prevailed
through the performance and the Wa
Keeney boys took in good natured
way the whipping that had been pre-
dicted for them by the Advance. They
acted all through like good, true
sports Only, as it was their right,
they let understand that next Fri
day the Wa-Keeney Fair Grounds
where they are booked to meet our
boys again, their revenge is going to
be something fierce. But our players,
we believe, should not worry. All they
have to do to once more win the con-
test is to keep on their mettles as
they did Sunday. If at all possible we
should go in force from CoIyer to
witness that game and support our
team, which promises to be one of the
best assets of our community. The
Advance also gladly joins in the
praises that were given to Fred Wurst
for the square way in which he nm

TREGo NEEDS HARVEST HELP

The 1919 harvest season has COM
menced in Trego county and there is
almost one continuous sea of golden
grain from one side of the county to
the other. Here and there may be
seen small fields of corn or feed or
few acres of oats or barley but the
great waive of the grain is heads of
golden wheat Wheat of quality, and
wheat of quantity. Trego county will
have enough of it to feed a million
Inhabitants but it will only need a
small amount of what it will raise for.
it's own use. The remainder can be
disposed of at leisure by the farmers,
but the big proposition which is con-
fronting just now is how are we
going to get sufficient help to harvest
this grain. The grain and straw is so
heavy that it will require more pitch
ers than usual in handling the crop
The acreage is so large that it will re-
quire many more header and binder
crews than usual. The wheat is now
ready to harvest and the 1aborers are
not here in as large numbers they
have been on other days. Every avail
able man about town will go into the
harvest field but that will not fill the
Icrews- More mem will be needed
Many will come in from the east and
from the west but at this writing it
appears there will be a. shortage. The
harvest in the eastern part of the
stale will soon be completed and many
of the men from that section will
come west. They will be needed. The
honest, hard working man will easily
find job at big wages. The slackers
and agitators are not wanted and will
not be tolerated. If you can induce an
honest workman to come here and
help harvest the biggest wheat crop
Trego county has ever had you had
better do So The going wages will be
at least fifty cents per hour.
