settling down without ado 10 their as
sociatiOns with the new landlord. They
have. il would seem. reasonable expec-
tations of increasing prosperity. owing
to the constant visits of American
warships to the harbor of St Thomas
and to the presence of American regi-

circumstances serve to stimulate trade

Roy schesser Was Third

The fourth annual oratorical con-
test of the Fort Hays Normal School
took place Wednesday, February 49,
To B. Rishel goes the honor of
representing this institution at the
internormal oratorical contest at
Pittsburg, on Friday, April 2, the
winner of that contest to represent
Kansas in the interstate contest to be
held at Stevens Point, Wisconsin, on
May T.
At no time in the history of this
institution has there been such keen
rivalry for oratorical honors. At no
time either has there been such a
close contest in which it was impos-
sible up until the last minute to, de-
termine who would be returned as the
winner.
The four contestants chosen for
the honor of appearing in the final
contest after the elimination of the
preliminary, were B. Rishel,
Arthur Hemphill, James OBrien and
Roy Schesser. These four spoke be-
fore the largest crowd which has ever
Hays. The judges in the preliminary
and in the final contests included Mr..
MARBLE, Mr.. Rankin, Mr.. Lee, Mr..
Shewman, Mr. Montague and Mr..
Malloy.
Each of these contestants was back
ed by an ardent coterie of supporters
and the friends of each were positive
before the contest that their respect
i've choice would be the winner
3. Rishel was given first
place, James OBrien second, and Roy
Schesser third. B. Rishel's sub
ject was ''The New Pioneer" James
O'Brien's subject was america, You
Are Called Upon" Schesser entitled
his grafton "Out of the Wreckage, -
and Arthur Hemphill gave to his ora
ton the subject "E Pur 81 Muove"
The winners of the annual contest
heretofore were Grace Copeland in
1915, James Start in 1916, and Harry
M. Stock in 1917. Because of the
war no contests were held in 10 and
10.
Willard B. Canopy, president of the
Interstate League of State Normal
Schools, officially informed our insti-
tuition under date of February %,

thus be entitled to represent Kansas

National Redwood Park.

A movement is on foot in California
to turn the redwood forests of that
state into a great national memorial
park TO serve as a monument to the
American war heroes. Those behind
the proposal feel that there are many
elements Of deep and appealing inter
est in the proposition As many Of
these giant trees were old when what
the world calls civilization was young
it is felt that these trees of the ages
belong not exclusively to any state
nation, or people, but are the heritagI
Of the race and should be preserves
for the recreation and pleasure of all
the peoples of the earth. An additional
argument in favor of establishing the
National Redwood park is that its es-
Enlistment would at once constitute
g great and much-needed constructive
work OF national conservation.
