On Friday evening the Tigers came
romping out on the floor determined
to revenge their defeat of the night
before. They began scoring from the
first whistle and continued to pile up
a score which proved disheartening
to their opponents. In this game it
seemed the Tigers, especially Bunny,
could shoot goals from anywhere on
the floor.
Salina was completely out classed

Threshing wheat in Rocks and Ora
ham counties is not over one-half
done and the yield in grade of wheat
is showing up very, very poorly. Mr..
Harvey of Quinter, reports that
threshing wheat has again started in
Cove county and that the returns
there are also very seriously reduced
by the bad weather and delay in
threshing. This is probably true
throughout other western counties
and it is a serious handicap to the
farmers since the cost of producing
wheat has become so great in the ad-
vance of labor, machinery and every
thing that goes to producing wheat.
This condition is going to force the
farmers to raise more sorghums
which are best adapted to withstand
ing the ravages of our climate.

EXPERIMENT STATION NOTES
What Shall Plant This Spring?

what SnaE j lanb ASRAAA6s
Spring planting time will soon be
here. The springlike weather that
has prevailed in Western Kansas the
past weeks has been an incentive to
the desire to plant. Every owner OF
a home wants to do some planting
around the place each spring. Often
he delays ordering until it is too late
to plant. Sometimes he orders and
is too busy to plant when the order
arrives. But more often he orders
things that are stressed by the nurs-
cry catalog he has at hand with little
regard to the adaptibility TO our con-
ditions. When the plants die during
the summer Or the following winter
he blames the nursery and tries some
other company.
It is not the fault of the nurseries,
They all want to sell US plants that
will grow better than our expecta-
tions. A satisfied customer is an adj
vertisement to their business.
The Fort Hays Experiment Station
has been trying out trees and SHRUBS
at Hays for seventeen years. There
are few species that they recommnd
for our conditions. Thy have just
published a neat seven page circular
describing the trees and shrubs adapt
ed to our part of the Plains regions,
and containing directions for planting
and caring for them.
There is talk everywhere of great
shortage of nursery stock of every
description this year. Every one who
intends to plant should write the Fort
Hays Experiment Station for one Of
these free circulars, and, after read
ing it, order plants that are known to
be adapted to the Plains Regions.

ALDERMEN TO OPPOSE
TROLLEY FARE INCREASE

The aldermen at a. special meet
ing last night took action to oppose
the application of the Jersey Central
Traction Company in applying to the
Public Utility Commission for permis-
sion to increase their fares from seven
cents to ten cents. City Attorney Leo
Goldberger was instructed to draw up
the papers necessary and to attend the
hearing as the representative of this
city in opposing the granting of the
app ication.
The hearing on the traction COM
.pany's application will be held Thurs
day morning April 20 at 10:45 o'clock
in the Newark offices of the Public
Utility Commission. 100 Broad street.
1T is possible that others will attend
this hearing as representing Perth
Amboy in addition to the city attor-
ney. The aldermen stated last night
that it was their opinion that If the
Public Service could charge seven
cents and still make money it is pos
sible for the Jersey Central Traction
Company to do likewise and they
could not see where the three cent in
crease was iustiflable.

resolution declaring the war with Ger

Both Republican and Democratic
leaders expected the measure to be
taken up without great delay.
Opposition to the resolution from
those who have fought so bitterly for
adoption of the Versailles treaty was
assumed by opponents of the treaty
and the league of nations was conf
dent it's passage would be obtained
with considerably more than majority
and that the affirmative vote would

The resolution was adopted late
yesterday by the House PAP to $50.
Only two Republicans joined the DEM

MAYOR PLANS CRUSADE
ON RENT PROFITEERING

In order to put stop to any rent
profteering which might prevail at
the present time In this city. Mayor
Frank Dorsey has gotten in touch with
Commissioner Cannon. of Jersey City,
who has conducted campaign against
such landlords with success, in order
to get from the Hudson county official
the details of the plan put into effect
with so much success in that city.
The mayor has made John Hunt, clerk
of the board of assessors, his assist
ant in this matter and Hunt is now
making out a tabuLated list SO that
landlords will be taxed according to
the amount of rental they charge. BY
using this method, landlords who are
profiteering by boosting the rents of
tenants, will find themselves taxed on
the boosted valuation which they are
putting on their property by increasing
the rents.
A record of all the letters from ten
ants complaining against increases in
their rents which are abnormal are
being recorded and filed by Mr.. Hunt
and an investigation in each case will
be made.
