School Notes

What is the matter"with the rural
teachers of Steele County? They
are all right! Every rural teacher
has been asked to raise $500 for the
little suffering children across the
sea. They are responding splendidly.
Here they are: Oline Olstad of
Broadlawn, $500; Wava Plaine OF
Broadlawn, $500; Pickert School
and Golden Lake Center School have
each adopted one child for the year,
More will follow. Most Of the one
room rural teachers are sending do
nations to the orphans home at Far
go, also.
Mrs. E. M. Taylor, teacher of
Edendale school No. 3, took in
$42.30 at a walnut social. This
amount plus $50 from last year, will
purchase hot lunch equipment and
playground apparatus
We are glad to add the following
to our list of teachers who serve
hot lunch: Alma Tollefsrud Of
Primrose, Geneva Kolpp of Franklin.
Steele County is again going to
be 100 per cent Junior Red Cross.
Dues from different schools keep
coming in. Florence Bugbee, Edith
Bugbee, Gertrude Linn, Mathilda
Anderson, Oline Olstad, Rose Iago,
and Alma Tollefsrud have reported
the past week.
Mathilda Anderson, teacher in En-
ger School No. 2, has raised $50 out
of which a school phonograph will
be purchased.
Gertrude Linn of Newburgh is
another teacher to report having or
ganized a Little Citizens League.
The pupils attend to everything about
the school room and the teacher
pays them the $500 allotted to
her for janitor work. Miss Linn has
also taken in $36 for which Manual
Training tools are to be bought.
The teachers of Steele County are
realizing that one of the greatest
blessings that they can bring into
the lives of the little children Is to
lead them to love good books. More
teachers have reported their schools
enrolled in reading circle work:
Alma Tollefsrud and Florence Bug
bee.
Florence and Edith Bugbee, both
teachers Of Hugo, write that $40
worth of library books have been
ordered for each school. They have

raised $77.5O for which hot lunch
equipment, phonograph stand, busy
work materials, etc., are to be Sc
cured.

idly as possible. It is planned to
make public the list of names in the
near future. In a recent checking,
it was discovered six men were
wrongfully placed in the deserter
column and it is planned to give
the list to the American Legion
posts and other organizations to as
sist in tracing the men, so that none
will be publicly listed as deserters
wrongfully.

LARGE NUMBER OF GUESTS
GATHER AT KICKER FARM
TO SFEND THANKSGIVING

On Thursday of last week good
ly number Of the Hope community
partook of the generous hospitality
of the Kicker family at Thanks
giving dinner. It would be easier
to describe what was absent than
what was in great profusion and
plenty on the festive board. Every
taste catered for and needless to
add even justice meted out to every
course.
A great measure of praise was &C.
corded Master Kicker for his artis-
tic center piece depicting the Pill
grim's ship.
In the afternoon the guests were
shown over the farm and all without
exception expressed their surprise at
the size and up-to-dateness of the
barn and its appointments.
A most pleasant day terminated
in music and song, Miss Genevieve
Kicker presiding most gracefully and
in most finished manner at the

FEBRUARY IN KANSAS
Month Usually Is End of Winter
Season With Variety of Weather.

February is usually the end of the
winter season at Topeka and is
marked by a great variety of weather.
ranging from mild and comparatively
pleasant, WITH afternoon temperatures
above 20 degrees, to the coolest ever
recorded locally, which was rs de-
grees below zero on February ~. 1893.
The normal precipitation is so per cent
greater than in January and most of it
falls as snow which covers the ground
age for long period of years.
Severe storms of sleet and rain
which freezes as it falls and coats
wires and limbs of trees with ice are
more frequent at this time of the year
than at any other, while the probable
tiles of having more sunshine are not
much greater than in the other winter
months.
Afternoon temperatures normally
range from SO degrees the fore part of
the month to 46 degrees the latter part
and the lowest point of the night from
is degrees the first of the month to
rs degrees the closing days. The low
est mark of the winter nearly always
occurs before the 18th and zero
temperatures are comparatively rare
after that date.
Measurable rain or snow falls on
an average of one day in five. The to-
tai snowfall for the month has aver
aged slightly more than six inches
during the past thirty-two years. The
greatest amount that has fallen locally
during any February in that period
was 27.1 inches in 1900.
A heavy snow covering. with tenn
peratures ranging slightly below freez-
ing, is the most favorable kind of
weather for crops in Kansas at this
time of the year. as it protects the
wheat and prevents fruit buds from
making a start too early. Mild. dry,
windy weather. while more agreeable
to endure. is liable to force fruit buds
prematurely and do great damage to
wheat by creating a deficiency OF
moisture in the soil, which permits it
to blow badly in the western part OF
the state. Mild days and temperatures
below freezing at night are liable to
cause wheat to ,heave out of the
ground in the eastern part Of the state
IL there is no snow covering. A tenn
perature of Is degrees below zero al
this time of the year is almost certain
to kill peach buds, especially those OF
the improved varieties. but this has
occurred locally only twice in Feb
ruary in thirty-twO years time.

MEN Will COOK AND SERVE
Club at Methodist Church Will Try
Hand Mt Cooking.

Tied into aprons and caps, the mem
bers Of the Mems club of the First
Methodist church will struggle with
the task of cooking a dirner for their
wives on February 6 at the church;
No woman will be allowed in the
kitchen, as the menu is to be man
cooked entirely. The wives will have
nothing To do but arrange themselves
around the banquet board and eat
what their husbands cook and serve
IL they can. Those skeptical of mascu-
line ability to cook are assured that
the meal will be palatable.
This innovation in banquets is in
recognition of the fact that women
have spent many busy and tiresome
hours in preparation of church sup
pers and should enjoy a well-earned
rest.
II is understood that the men will
also be the dishwashers.

FIRST COURT CASE
Hopkins To Ask Probe of
Recent Crawford Strike.
Petition To Be Filed Monday
With Industrial Tribunal.

Petitio ns for the first suit before
the new court of industrial relations
were prepared today by Richard j.
Hopkins. attorney general The petit
ton will ask for an investigation of
recent strike and working conditions
in Kansas Coal company mine No. 1
in Crawford county.
Hopkins's petition will be filed Mon
day following formal organization OF
the new court. Disputes between
operators and miners resulted in a
walk-out by the workers this week.
1t was asserted that entries were n
adequate for proper working condi-
lions and that the operators sought to
close the mine beca Use they did not
feel it was paying a fair return on the
basis of cost of production. Repairs
have been made in entries, but the
court will be asked to go into the
problem of production. cost of opera
tion and working conditions and
wages of the men.
Another controversy concerns the
strike in the B. r. & H. mine where
union miners went on a strike in pro-
test against employment of ]. H.
Guffey, a Waterman, who worked for
the state during the general strike. In
view of the fact that this strike started
/ before the new court was created, au-
! thOrity to make orders affecting this
trouble is questioned. According to
reports in the state house, the new
labor court will make a general sur
vey of working conditions in the coal
fields on its own motion.

KNAPP DENIES IT
State Auditor Won't Accept
Blame for Wooster Fund.
But He Says Money Was Spent
in Legal Manner.

Not only did Miss Lorraine Z. woos-
ter, superintendent of public instruc-
ton, arrange for payment of painting
and decorating charges from voca-
tionaI education funds, but she ar
ranged for such payment before
vouchers were drawn. That was the
statement to The State Journal today
by Fred w. Knapp. state auditor, in a
message from Salina.
In statement placing the burden
on Auditor Knapp for use of voca-
tional funds for general office ex-
penses as well as for repairs, Miss
Wooster declared she did not know the
fund from which the money was paid.
Knapp today pointed to the estab-
lished practice of the department re-
fusing to honor any claims until the
voucher designated the fund from
which the money is to be paid.
mot only did Miss Wooster know
that this money was-to be drawn from
the vocation fund" said Knapp. but
she had arranged for this use of the
money before the voucher was drawn.
The voucher itself shows the fund
from which the money was to be paid.
1t was approved by me because 1 be-
1ieved It was a legitimate use of the
fund-in spite of contradiction by H.
L. Kent and members of the state
board of education.
Under no circumstances" conGn-
ued Knapp. do we approve vouchers
which do not indicate the specific
fund to be used. Not only do 1 recall
this incident personally. but as re-
suit of a talk with me relative to this
use of the money, 1 wrote Miss Woos-
ter a letter. That letter should now
be in her office files"
Believes Use Was o. Il.
Knapp stated he did not agree with
prominent educators who feared Miss
Wooster's use of the vocational fund
might result in withdrawal of federal
support. While he believed Miss
Wooster's action was not illegal and
would not cripple government support
for school work in Kansas, Knapp was
positive and flat in denial OF the SUI
perintendent's statement that he was
to blame for use of the funds.
Miss Wooster knows how these
funds are used" said Knapp, and she
has ample records TO cover the indi-
vidual case in point"
The voucher upon claim OF
$576.27 was paid for painting and
decorating Miss Wooster's office is on
file with the state board of education
vouchers in the auditors office. II
shows that warrant No. 20592 was is
sued in payment of the claim, that
the account was approved September
80. 1919. and payment Is from state
vocational education funds provided
by the legislature to duplicate federal
support of trade and agricultural edu-
cation in Kansas. The voucher is
