Wichita, March 25.-A new salary
schedule for Wichita public school
teachers. providing for increases of
from rs to 40 per cent, has been
adopted unanimously by the board of
education. The board also voted to

per cent increase. The new average

control of fuel prices ceases April /,
| coal operators here predicted today.
The jump in prices at that time, ac-
cording to G.. w. Reed of Chicago, will
be caused by increased wages now be-
ing paid miners and to make up fur
Their increases to be granted them.
Coal prices are going higher" said
Reed. There is not any doubt of it.
The recent IA per cent increase in
miners wages will be put on the price
OF coal as soon as the government re-
leases its supervision. Just how high
prices will go will depend on the ex-
tent to which further increases will be
granted. All increases In wages will
be put on the price of COAL
Means 500, 900, 900 More.
There are more than half a million
coal miners in the United States. Fig
uring that they receive an average
wage of IS a day for 200 working days
a year, the total amount in wages paid
to them is approximately 100000. 900.
Based on the recommendation of Pres
ident Wilson's coal commission that
the miners should be given a 81 per
cent increase, this would mean that
more than $10O,OOo.000 additional
wages would have to be paid out.
In 1919. coal production. according
to authorities here, totaled AIS, 900, 600
tons.
Figured at this rate, it would mean
that the consumer will have to pay at
laast 25 cents ton more for coal than
he is paying now.
Hike 35c Per Ton.
Columbus o.. March 25.-An in
crease of 35 cents ton for soft coal is
likely beginning April 1, according to
B. F. Nigh, secretary of the Ohio
Michigan-Indiana Coal association.
He pointed out the increase will be
necessary to absorb the 81 per cent
increase in wages to miners recon-
mended in the report of President
wilson's coal commission.
Miners to Stay on the Job.
New York. March 25.-Officers of
the United Mine Workers were prepar-
ing notices today to be sent to local
unions in the three districts compris-
ing the anthracite coal region. notify
ing them to remain at work after
April 1, pending the negotiation OF a
new wage agreement, as the mine
operators have agreed to make ANY
wage award retroactive to that date"

Conditions Now Bctter IMAM Usual
Prewar Prospects, He Believes.
The rain is going to save the wheat
CROP" ]. C. Mohler. secretary of the
board of agriculture, stated this morn
ing.
This is the first time it has been
saved" said Mohler. 1T will probab bly,
be saved several more times between
now and harvest. The experience of
twenty five years of crop reporting
shows that often we get stampeded
and panicky, but in the end things
usually turn out all right and we have
a good crop.
However. sentiment has changed in
Kansas. From pessinlism it has
changed to optimism. I don't know
how far west the rain extended or how
much good it did there. 1t will take
several days of growing weather be-
be estimated. We will not make our
report for about week.
Wind Damage Overcstimated.
1.-The most encouraging news we
have" Mohler declared, "is that indi-
cations are that the damage feared
from the recent wind storms was not
SO great as was first anticipated.
First reports of the damage from the
wind seem to have been exaggerated.
II believe conditions now are better
than the usual pre-war prospects.
Kansas went wild on wheat during the
war. We should expect a crop this
year better than normal, but the rec
ords made during the war could not be
maintained. We have a wheat acre
age of about 100000 acres this year.
There is no history of season as dry
as the present one but wheat is in good
condition and the rains should put the
crop in first-class shape"

Suppress soviet foolishness. School
has no soviet, no reds, no anar-
chists. We regard whole business
as a student prank and nothing
more. It's unfair to school and
western Kansas.
The above telegram signed by C.
A. Hardness. mayor of Hays, Kan.
r. S. Barkwell, president of the Hays
Chamber of Commerce, and J. s. Bird,
editor of the Ellis County News, was
received this morning by The State
Journal.
The first news of the soviet activi-
ties at the Western Normal school at
Hays came to the state board of ad-
ministration yesterday afternoon in a
telegram received from P. Caspar
Harvey. an instructor in the school.
Later this message was followed by
another from Harvey, declaring that
the soviet had gained control of the
school anG imploring aid from the
state authorities. Both kilograms were
printed in full in The State Journal.
This news could not be ignored and
it was printed in The State Journal for
what it was worth. Late in the after
noon, messages came from the Asso-
ciated Press and United Press CORE
spondents at Hays confirming the nor
NAL school instructors kilograms and
declaring that the ducking of the pro-
fessors in a lake was the outgrowth
of a joking remark by one of the fac
ulty members. A denial of red ac-
tivities in Hays was received this
morning thru the United Press, whose
correspondent declares that the whole
affair was a college prank.
The State Journal is printing all the
information regarding the affair. be-
lieving the whole truth-whether it be
soviet or student prank-is much bet
ter than any suppression which would
give the public a wrong impression.
The public is always entitled to all the
facts.

A garden is a place where a plant
receives the nurture 1t needs for its
development, the proper amount Of
heat, light and moisture. So a kin
dergarten may be thought Of as an
enclosure where each child is sup
piled with the right conditions for
its development-no forcing or push
ing, just natural embodiment of life
Considering how much a child
learns during his first SIX years, how
important it becomes that he should
be supplied with the right material
and the most intelligent supervision.
All the virtues are developed in
kindergarten. The first and most i'm.
portant one for child to learn in
early life is obedience. We mothers
know how difficult it is to establish
this habit. Now the kindergarten
believes that a child may be led in
to obedience without being forced in
to it and it uses many devices to
strengthen the habit Of obedience
during the early years.
One of the ways in which kindness
is taught in the kindergarten is to
have the children prepare and give
gifts at Christmas and Easter, Val
entine's Day and May Day
Courtesy is developed through
games and stories.
The habit of orderliness is started
by requiring the children to put away
their playthings when they are
through with them, ana they INSTINCT
lively acquire aFsense or order from
the orderly procedure followed in the
plays and games and work. =
The stories used in kindergarten
are such as all children love to hear.
They are written by experts in child
study. and prepared and told In an
interesting. manner While they are
always amusing and delightful, they
also contain vital truth which sinks
deep into the subconscious mind, i'm
perceptfbly teaching the children
some important moral or ethical les
son. We mothers little know how
much of the courtecy, cheerfulness
and gentleness which our lott7e ones
seem naturally to possess may be
traced back to some impression made.
upon their platte minds through
these stories.
Kindergarten games strengthen and
develop the muscles and develop
fairness, service and appreciation of
the rights of others Some of the
games draw the child's observation
to the wOrkaday world about him,
awakening an appreciation of what
