Supply of Cloth

History is repeating in the cloth
situation in the United States and
the stock phrase "overstocked'' is the
most freely used display word in
spreads of large retailers in the daily
press in all large cities and towns.
These custom attracting displays may
or may not mean over-supply in some
cases, but in general, they represent
the situation as we find it today.
Spending is being materially curtail-
ed. The get-rich-quick element get
ting their dollar an hour more or less,
have had their fill of extravagant
buying and the mill girl no longer is
buying $3.50 dresses and $40 silk
stockings. Neither is the Jumper
drawing $40 or more a week, blow
ing his money on foolish, high priced
things. Homes are being bought and
the fool fads of overall clubs, etc., is
meat for the laboring element as they
are fully at home in keeping right in
line with the fashion of the day.

EXPERIMENT STATION NOTES
Improving Grain SORGHUM.

improving OrSIn SorghumS
800 head selections Of the differ
ent grain sorghums are being planted
this week by A. F. Swanson, in charge
of the Cereal Crop Investigation
work at the Fort Hays Experiment
Station. 325 of these selections are
a cross between Red Amber and Fet-
erita with the object of finding
good yielding variety of grain sor-
plum having a sweet stalk and smut
proof, thus combining the good char
acteristics of both Red Amber and
Feterita in one plant. The remainder
are selections from milo, feterita and
kafir that are being tried out in order
to secure high yielding variety of
grain sorghum that will mature early
and will stand the dry, hot summers
better than anything that we have at
the present time.

while at Manhattan it has outyielded

rHE~LiTTLE MOTHERS LEAGUE

THELfTTLE MOTHERS LEAGUE
The Little Mothers League on
Tuesday, June 1st at p. M, in the
High School Auditorium will grad
uate about seventy girls.
Dr.. Florence Sherber who directs
the Child Hygiene work of Topeka,
Kansas, will address the graduating
class and mothers. The physicians
of Hays will be present. Mrs. Rouse,
chairman of Nursing committee, will
preside.
Demonstrations will be made by
the class in Bed making, Modification
of Milk, and Preparation of Child's
Bath.
Presentation of Certificates to the
class concludes the program.
The events of the evening form
the elimination of a years study,
work and parctice on the part of
these girls, and of the untiring efforts
and careful supervision on the part
of Mrs. Reed, County Red Cross
Nurse. The demonstrations are
merely indicative of the wide range
of instruction given under the var
ious phases of Infant Care from the
scientific standpoint When the
baby's skin was pricked by a pin, or
little arm bound too closely or body
tired from lying in one position or
stomach calling for food, he was fed
for all these ailments if he began to
CRY.
Mothers, telephone the graduates
for an answer TO some of your ques-
tions or if you are in doubt about the
fundamental principles of PROPER
infant care.
When shall I change baby's posi-
ton?
Upon which side shall baby lie?
Shall he lie on his back?
If Mary Jane gets Group what shall
I do, quick?
What cab is best for baby?
When shall I feed baby?
What shall feed when teething?
How long should baby rest?
When shall feed "solid food?"
Where should baby sleep?
How soon does baby form habits?
Does my baby need a tooth brush?
Shall give baby ''pacifer?"
What light is best for eyes?
The L. M. L. may answer these and
many similar questions.
Impaired Indigestion, unnatural
bodily postures, bad lighting for eyes
in early infancy may be responsible
for many misfts and failures in life.
Our girls have the opportunity for
instruction which in it's results will
contribute to the building of a great
er, happier and more efficient citizen
ship.
Business men, mothers, fathers,
teachers, citizens of Hays, witness
this graduation, for this class will
train scientifically the business lead
ers of tomorrow.

Freed's sorgo for Replansing

Freed's sorgo which is sometimes
incorrectly called "white cane'' is a
good grain sorghum to plant where
other sorghums have failed to make a
stand. Freed's will mature a good
crop of grain in 80 to So days, thus
requiring a much shorter season than
any other grain crop. The grain is
as valuable for feeding purposes as
is kafr, milo or feterita.
The results at the Fort Hays Ex-
pertinent Station during the last six
years shows that Freed's has pro
duced an average crop of 1874 bushels
per acre, with an average growing
season Of IS days, and will often
make a good crop when planted as
late as July 1.
