TRACK MEET FRIDAY AFTER
NOON

Friday is Arbor Day and also the
day for the inter-class track meet.
This year the Freshman and Sophie
more College classes have challenged
the rest of the school. Consequently
these two classes will have to defend
this years track title against all the
academic classes and the Junior and
Senior classes of the college. The
meet will be at two o'clock The ad-
mission is free and everyone is cor
daily invited to attend.
The Hays Normal has issued an in
vitation to all the High Schools in
Western Kansas for an inter-High
School Track Meet at Hays on April
80.
A Track Meet between Bethany
and the Hays Normal will take place
on May Is. Track has never received
the same attention in Western Kansas
as football or basket ball. However,
in the east, track has gradually gain
ed in popularity and now there is
scarcely a High School in the east
which does not support track team.
Under the leadership of Coach
Crooks" Woodward, the Hays Nor
NAL is developing some good track
men and as these men go to High
Schools in Western Kansas, track
events will surely gain in popularity.

Community Sale Notes

The Community Sale idea is grow
ing. Already promises have been
made for nearly 200 head of cattle, a
good many head of horses and mules,
some machinery and other things.
1t seems like the community sale
will be worth while but we do not
want to stop work. There are lot
of people that have one or two ami
mails who have not listed those ami
mails with US. The committee must
know definitely by next Saturday
how many animals we have in order
that we may put this on sale bills and
scatter over Western Kansas.
Everyone knows that $50 animals
will attract larger crowd than TWEEN
ty-five, and if we can reach $50 ami
mails it will be one of the largest sales
that was ever held in Western Kan
sas.
The committee is going to get the
best auctioneer they can to cry this
sale. We are now in correspondence
with several auctioneers who have a

speak at that meeting. A free lunch
will be served at noon and in the
afternoon the results of the winter
feeding experiments will be discussed
by DR.. C. w. McCampbell of the Agri-
cultural College. Dean Farrell and
Professor L. E. Call of the College
VIII speak also.
The winter feeding experiments
have been planned to make the best
possible use of Western Kansas feed
in wintering stock cattle. Twenty
head of steer calves have been carried
through on straw and cottonseed
cake; another twenty head on silage
and cottonseed cake. Four lots of
ten head each of cows have been fed
all the straw they would eat and two
pounds of eottonseed cake per day.
In addition, one of these lots has re-
ceived sorghum silage with the heads
on, another lot sorghum silage with
the heads off; a third lot, sorghum
fodder with the heads on and the
lots of ten head each of cows have
been fed various combinations of
wheat straw, cottonseed cake and sill
age. One lot has come through the
winter on wheat straw alone; another
lot on silage alone.
The largest possible use of wheat
straw has been made in the expert
ments on the wintering of breeding
ewes and eve lambs.
Everyone of these experiments is
of real Importance to Western Kansas
farmers. The problem of live stock
feeding, especially with feeds which
can be grown under Western Kansas
conditions, will receive some addi-
tional light from the announcements
made at the Round Up. 1t is import
ant that the farmers of every COM
munity of Western Kansas organize
auto parties and reach Hays early
Saturday morning, April 80.

plant would be the same as it was for
1920 then the load would double in
five years.
If the generator of the plant should
continue to be overloaded the insula-
ton of the windings would become
damaged by the heat so that it would
break down and the machine would
of course, become useless and could
not be repaired for from two to six
weeks.
1t has been the experience of other
towns owning the type of engines
owned by Hays, that they will not
stand an overload without danger of
going to pieces. The most well-known
cases are Ellis and Clay Center, the
latter's engine having blown up the
third time.
The small engine owned by the
City has given pretty fair service dur
ing the past year except for two or
three small breakdowns, but it is too
small and would be absolutely. useless
if the large engine should break
down.
Since Hays depends entirely on
motors to run the pumps for the City
water supply, a breakdown at the
plant would stop the supply of City
water almost at once. The People of
the City might be able to get along
without lights for a few nights, but
the City would be absolutely para
lyzed without water in the mains.
1t is therefore necessary that the
citizens of Hays take steps at once to
provide funds for buying a new en-
CINE and dynamo with necessary aux
iliary equipment of ample size to take
care of the future needs of the City.
This new power unit could replace
the present small unit and the large
unit would then become the small
unit.

ROUND UP

The annual Round Up will be held
at the Experiment Station, April 80.
The date is later than usual this year
because some of the winter feeding
experiments are planned to run until
the cattle can go on grass. 1t is prob
able, too, that there will be better
weather for the Round Up later in
April.
For the first time there will be a
stoek-judging contest for Western
Kansas boys this year. This contest
will be held April 29th. Teams re-
presenting County Farm Bureaus and
High Schools will compete for team
and individual prizes. 1t is.expected
that twelve or fifteen teams will take
part.
Another new feature of this years
Round Up is the sheep feeding expert
ments. Four lots of sheep have. been
on experiment and the results will be
announced at the Round Up. These
sheep have been wintered on wheat

different combinations.
Straw has entered largely into the
cattle feeding work this winter. An
attempt is being made to determine
the best method of using cheap
roughage in wintering cattle. Straw
silage and cake have been used in diff
ferent combinations for this work
Four lots of cows have been fed
cane silage and cane fodder with OF
without the heads to try to determine
the feeding value of sweet sorghum
seed. This supplements the same
work with pink kafir conducted a year
ago.
The Hays Round Up attracts in
creasing interest each year. A larger
crowd than ever is expected this
spring. The experiments are of in
terest to every farmer in Kansas. The
full program will be given next week.

WHY HAYS NEEDS A NEW
POWER UNIT

The growth of the City of Hays
and the development of power used
by the City during the past three
years has caused the present equip
ment to become inadequate. The
power and light output between Feb
ruary first, 1919, and February first,
1920, was 379,376 kilo-watt hours.
For the same period of 1920, it was
459,4 kilo-watt hours, or an in
crease of twenty-one per cent. The
highest load for the plant has been
$50 kilowatts. The rated capacity of
the large engine is 120 kilowatts or
an overload of SO per cent. If the
rate of increase of output of the

KILLEDBY
LIGHTNING

Emma Corby, sixteen year old
GAINESVILLE girl, was killed instantly
Sunday evening by bolt of lightning
while sitting at a table in the home
of Christ Yost, two miles north of
Pleasant Hill, town of Arpin, where
she and other members of the Cor
by family were visiting Mr.. Yost
and the Yost baby, sitting right next
to the girl, and other members of
the Corby and Yost families in the
room were uninjured. Nine years ago
the 19-year old sister of the girl was
killed by lightning in much the same
manner.
The fatality occurred during a
light thundershower at about six
o'clock Sunday night. The girl had
liust returned from berry-picking
expedition and was seated at table
surrounded by members of her own
and the Yost family A deafening
crash of thunder was followed by a
bolt of lightning which took the
screen door from its hinges and
struck Miss Corby in the mouth, kill
ng her instantly. The room was
filed with smoke, and the floor was
torn up, but the other people suffered
no shock.

SERVICE men
ATTENTION

Pending the passage Of legislation
which is before Congress at the pre-
sent time, every effort is being made
by the District Supervisors of the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance, the
Public Health Service and the Fed:
eral Board for Vocational Edu-
cation to give service along all of
these lines to every ex-service fan in
the state of Illinois, Michigan and
Wisconsin,.
Mr.. G. W. Spofford who has been
appointed Regional Director of the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance and
the Public Health Service in this dis
trict is cooperating with Mr.. Chas.
IW. Sylvester, District Vocational
Officer of the Federal Board for Voca-
tional Education in this district in
every way. It is desired that every
service man in the three States un-
derstands that he can get immediate
service with regard to compensation,
insurance, disqualification and train
ing in full at the present time.
The Federal Board for Vocational
Educati has had a squad of men
called the "Field Contact and Eligi-
bility Squad" who have been travel
ing throughout the district during the
past six months settling claims for
training under the jurisdiction of the
Federal Board. This Squad is now
prepared to help ex- service men in
settling up their claims for compen-
sation and anything they desire in
the matter Of securing the proper
treatment and also helping them tc
convert every phase if they so desire.
There is no claim which cannot be
settled in full at the present time
even before the legislation which is
now being considered by Congress is
passed.
The Posts of the American Legion
are cooperating with all Of the Gov
ernment Agencies in settling of
these claims and service men should
apply directly to their local Posts in
order that they can get information
as to the program which has been
established through the cooperation
of Mr.. Spofford, Mr.. Sylvester and the
various Service Departments of the
American Legion throughout the dis
trict.
It is hoped that the legislation
which is now being considered by
Congress will be passed at once in
order that the actual coordination of
all of the Government Bureaus can
be really accomplished in the very
near future Pending that time,
however, every effort is being made
by all Of the officials in question to
give direct service to every disabled
man in the three states mentioned.

OUR HIGHEST
TRIBUNAL

The Supreme Court of the United
States, which will be presided over
in the future by Ex-President Taft,
is made up of nine men, one of whom
is designated as the chief justice while
the others hold the rank of associate
justice. All hold their office during
life or good behavior. The salary of
the chief justice is $4,000, while the
associate justices receive $14,500 per
year
AS at present constituted, the
Supreme Court includes only three
men more than seventy years of age.
The oldest of these is Associate
Justice Holmes, who is a son of the
noted author, Oliver Wendell Holmes,
and who is now about eighty. The
other two of this age trio are Asso-
ciated Justice McKenna, who is
seventy two.
Other members of this powerful
body of men are Associate Justices
Van Devanter, Pitney, McReynolds,
Brandies and Clarke. All of these
are in their sixties except Justice
who is fifty-nine Chief
Justice Taft will be one of the young
est members of the court as he is
only sixty-four.

There is another answer to the
question of how to rehabilitate our
people physically. It is being work
I'd out in our public schools and ap-
olied thereon much larger scale
than many of us know.
According to this answer, the right
way to develop physical efficiency
and vigor is by training the children
as it is done IN other countries which
were found to have fewer defective
men than we during the war. Our
schools have not given much atten-
tion to this in the past save to en-
courage athletics and contests in
which only few participated. IN
European countries, on the other
hand, all are given physical training,
which consists largely of play and
games with corrective gymnastics.
In addition to this, the laws of health
are taught and the children are re-
quired to practice them at all times,
which is another thing that has been
overlooked in America.
One of the great, silent movements
now going on in America is the re-
generation of our public schools
Few understand how rapidly it is go
ing on or how different the new school
is from that of a few years ago. And
one of the greatest of universal ply
sical training which is everywhere be-
ing introduced.
