RichfOrd Defeats
Newport High Team

Completely out-played in nearly
every phase of the game, the New
port High School basket ball team
was defeated by the Richford High
School outfit by score of 48 to IS,
in the Richford High School hall
Saturday evening. A large crowd
witnessed the contest which was fast
and spirited Throughout, despite the
fact the score was onc-sidcd.
Playing in a much more spacious
hall than they were accustomed to
attributed in large measure to their
defeat 1t was practically an impos-
sibility to throw the ball from one
end of the room to the other and
this greatly Handicapped the New
port boys. Even with this against
them, however, the local boys played
with logged determination but were
simply unable to make much head
way. Skinner, who was ill and UNI
able to play, was greatly missed
Considerable comment was caused
by Referee Kaufman calling so many
fouls on the two teams The umpire
pcnalizcd Newport IS times while
he called s on Richford.
SockoI and Lance starred for New
port, both men playing Il steady game
and guarding their positions like
veterans. On the Richford side Crosse
was easily the "big noise" of the
team and played a speedy game
throughout. His accurate shooting
was feature of the contest. How
ever, he was crowded closely for hon
ors by kaufman, whose passing was
Al and his shooting very nearly per-
feet. Both men were as fast as chain

All this in the prelude
Of a greater future waiting
To make this desert plain
The home of civilization
And fields of waving grain.
But first the red mems kingdom
Must be made to feel the hand
Of a strong-armed conqueror
Who would rule the virgin land.
We see the day of soldiers
With muskets on their arms
To fight the naughty redskins
And guard the lonely farms.
Fort Hays in Western Kansas
Is out on the frontier line,
To keep in subjugation
The Indians of the time.
Scouts would rest from their
journeys
Or receive some needed aid
At this post of border soldiers
Where history was made
The pioneers hocked around it
And made themselves home,
AS the years go in procession
We see how Hays has grown.
The fort no longer is needed;
The soldier is lost from view;
The Indians have been conquered,
The last remaining few
The fort falls into ruins,
But we know it's better so,
For we need no forts or soldiers
For US to live or grow
In the present time and age,
But they were essential then.
We can never hope to pay
What we owe these soldier men.
And Lo! the scene is changing!
We see the bright pennants fly
From the roofs of massive buildings
Against the smiling sky.
Yea, things are surely changing
From the military rule
For this we see is the home
Of the Fort Hays Normal School.
Now in these massive buildings
The scouts of the modern day
Are teachers training for service
In an effective way.
Fort Hays has always had mission
In this old world of need.
And it fulfIls that mission,
So it is friend indeed.

The Y. W. subject for December
Is was ''The College Woman's Out
look in the New Era" Miss Agnes
Arlington, the leader, showed how
the ideal that carried US through the
war should be crystallized into our
personal efforts. The period of re-
construction is challenge to unseIf-
ish service. The world looks to wo-
men to humanize its relationships and
remold its opinions.
Special music was furnished by
Miss Rae.
The January 8 Y. W. meeting was
well attended. Miss Glenn sang an
appropriate solo. The leader, Mrs.
C. E. Barns, gave very instructive
discussion of 'tWoman's Place in Re
construction" She called women the
natural reconstructionists because
they endure and love to serve Ann
Morgan, the leader of women's re-
construction work in France, is at

vastated Europe. $4,000 has been

THE STORY OF FORT HAYS

When first the curtain rises
On this drama of the plain,
We see desert parching
For bit of cooling rain,
We see the shallow streamlets
Flowing over golden sands,
We see the landscape covered
With the buffaloes in bands.
The sparsely tufted grasses
Only lived their life to pray
For drafts of fragrant moisture
To cool the burning day.
Cactus plants, then laughed to scorr
The dainty little flower
That from the rays hid her face
In the heat OF MONDAY hour.
We see the brawny red men
Roaming Ger the solitude,
Hunting for the buffalo;

A COSTLY BLUNDER

In handling the sugar question, the
Democratic National Administration
has given another startling and shock
ing exhibition of incompetence.
In either July or August, of this
year, the Sugar Equalization Board
and Mr.. Hoover, informed President
Wilson that the sugar crop of Cuba
could be bought for 615 cents per
pound, and, on account of the worlds
shortage of sugar, strongly recon-
mended that it be purchased at that
price.
President Wilson, however, who
was very busy at that time, attending
to the affairs of other peoples, disre-
garded their advice. Instead, he took
the advice of one Professor Taussig
and refused to act.
A BLUNDER WHICH COSTS PEG
PIE $4O4, 100000.
In commenting upon the Presi-
dents action lin refusing to buy at
that time and price, Senator Pomer-
enc, Democrat, recently declared on
the floor of the Senate:
81 simply wanted to observe to the
Senate, that this is an evidence again
of the fact that adherence to the adj
vice of a professional economist, is
going to cost the people of the United
States an advance of four cents a
pound, for every pound Of sugar that
will be consumed during the ensuing
year; and, as the per capita con-
sumption is about 90 pounds, and the
population of this country now is
about 100000, we can estimate
how valuable this advice has been. It
amounts to about $4O4, 100000"
EXPERIMENTING WITH PROBES
SORS A COSTLY PROCEDURE
The United States is certainly pay
ing dearly for its experiment with
professors. First, we had Professor
Woodrow Wilson, who promised US
peace in 1916, and Unexpectedly
plunged US into war a few month:
later. Then came Professor Garfield
who made such meS of the Goa
situation. Now we have Professor
Taussig, who commits one blunde1
which will cost US $4O5, 100000.
