The games here Thursday and Fri
day night will be the first time Wash
burn and Pittsburg teams have ever
met in football or basketball, accord
ing to Bearg.
Regarding the recent Southwestern
"unpleasantaess," Bearg simply said,
we were licked by a team that was
playing better brand of basketball.
Southwestern had better teamwork"
He said Hill Bates. Southwestern
coach, paid a high tribute to Wash
burns craftsmanship in agreeing to
play his team of the Ottawa court,
on which the Moundbuilders had
played a few nights previous and with
which they were familiar. He said he
had arranged a return game with
Southwestern at Winfield March /.
when the Ichabods take a southern
trip. THAT game will tell a different
story" said Bearg.
The Blue mentor complemented OF
tawa's fine hospitality in giving Wash
hurn and Southwestern the use of
their court free. The proceeds of the
game, amounting to s208.85. went to
Washburn, who cleared s42 on the
game after all expenses were paid.

KANSAS nANK DEPOSITS.

Kansas state bank deposits have
|hgain broken a record. This time they
have gone to 3O7 million dollars. Only
a few years ago the papers printed big
top head stories about the first state
bank report showing a 200 million de-
post. Now with more than 307 mil
lions on deposit the state has not sold
her wheat crop or started her $50 mil
lion bushel corn crop to market. 1t
may not be unreasonable to start a few
forecasts for 400 million deposit in
state banks soon. And, mind you,
in Kansas national banks amounting
to 1913 millions. That report was made
February %. The last report has not
been compiled by the federal comp
troiler.
With issuance of the new report a
further increase may be expected.
bringing combined deposits consider
ably above the half billion dollar
mark. Should transportation facili-
ties be available this wfnter-and
barring disastrous market slumps-
the Kansas state and national banks
will be in the market for additional
burglar proof vaults and storage place
for the money. Kansas is not only do
ing more than her bit in feeding the
world. she is cording up a supply of
available cash that is certain to sta
Billie financial conditions.

GAMBLING AND SPORTS.

Gambling is eating into the very
heart of American sports.
1t has injured horse racing, it has
wounded baseball. it has killed prize
fighting and will turn to football If it
Is not curbed. o.
=, The average man who drops num-
bSr in a hat with his friends and trusts
to luck for the outcome is not to
blame. If he insists upon finding an
outlet for his gambling spirit it is
purely a personal matter. But the
professional who takes the inside
OF sport and syndicates his huge wag-
ers thru influences and dishonesty is
due for a severe drubbing.
Millions of Americans contribute
literally to national sports every year.
Immense financial OUTLAWS have been
made to house the various forms of
athletics. Games OF all kinds have
been encouraged for health and recre-
alton. When they suffer the humilia-
ton OF being placed in the hands. OF

Baseball has become thoroly an
American pastime. 1t is supported

dream to flee to Egypt with the Babe.
Picture and preachment have made
the flight familiar. as the holy family
took its obscure way over the long and
bitter desert trail to Egypt. A vener-
able old lady who studies her Bible
closely reminds nae that, unlike the Odd
Testament prophets. Jesus has no word
of condemnation for Egypt, the land
that gave Him refuge.
Recent cablegrams tell us that,
Egypt, after more-thsn a year of Bit
ter >nsurrection, has been promised
her independence. Old Egypt is to
share in ><he changed order which in
dubitably owes lis origin to the Child
born in Bethlehem and safeguarded in
Egypt. But we dare not enter here
upon present outworkings and out
readings of the power of the lowly-
horn King. whose kingdom is steadily
coming by mean of. as well as despite
of. the overturnings and upheavais
among the nations.
Anew, the Babe of Bethlehem is this
old worlds hope. When the wise mon
of earth become wise enough to &c
back to Bethlehem we shall find the
peace on earth which the angels de-
elared is possible only among men OF
good Will"

On the other hand, the Wings of

attacks on Jackson, and accused him
of almost every sort of corruption and

as the creature and the proxy of jack

sumption in debating his successor
would mean the overthrow of repub-
lican institutions in america If suf-

cused Van Buren, of being corrupted
