women who have smiled on jazz as one
of the fripperies of youth were given
severe jolt by Mrs. Anne Faulkner
Oberndorfer of Chicago. national music

a definite evil, one which atrophies the

sense of right and wrong.

MORE TEETH NEEDED IN
IN SToCKYARD LAW

TOPEKA, Jan. 4.-State Senator
A. P. Burdick of Atchison, who put
through the stockyards bill, at the
special session of tn Legislature last
year, when he was a member of the
house, has stated that he proposes to
offer some amendments when the leg
islature convenes, that will put more
teeth in the bill. Senator Burdick
however, refuses to state Just what
his proposed amendments will con-
tain.
The stockyards bill developed as
one of the sensations of the special
session, called to create the industrial
court. It had been drawn and intro
duced before the stockyard men were
aware that such legislation was to
be proposed, and large delegations
from all the stockyards of the state
descended on Topeka in a rush. How
ever, there has been little regulation
under the provision of the new law.

CAMP THURSDAY EVE
First Basket Ball Game Of Season Won
By Liberal With Score OF
Is To Is
PRATT MADE ONE IN THE LAST HALF

The first basketball game of the
season was won by Liberal high
school Thursday evening, when the
team ftom Pratt was taken into
camp by the score of 25 to Is.
Both teams looked fit as the whis-
tie blew for the starting of the game.
The Pratt team came in on No. l,
and put in good time practicing on
the Liberal court. They looked nice
in their red and white suits, and dur
ing the warming up period showed
some real speed.
However, the Liberal fellows were
there with the goods and their prac-
tice work was keen.
The largest crowd which ever wit
messed game in Liberal was on hand
and there was enough pep in evil
dence to win a dozen games. The
high school was out in force, and
with Alva Cain as yell leader, kept
the noise going until the finish.
Pratt started things by throwing
a goal in the first few minutes of
play. 1t was hard shot, but it
worked, and gave Pratt the lead.
However, this only lasted a minute
or two, as Liberal came back, and
with a goal and a free throw took
the lead, which was held until the
final whistle.
At the half the score was 10 to
IA in favor of Liberal, and at this
juncture the Liberal lads frightened
up and Pratt was able to gather but
one point during the half, making
that on a free throw.
As score after score was piled up
the crowd went wild and the yelling
would hardly cease between scoring.
1t was pep demonstration which,
if kept up, will put the L. H s.
across all during the season.
Pratt displayed some good team
work at times and had a fast goal
shooter, but the clever team work Of
the L. H. S. bunch made it almost

ANOTHER LARGE FAMILY
Talk about your families large
There's enough of fuss been made;
And I never would say a word,
But you are all laid in the shade.
Fourteen boys and girls I've had,
Ten living up to date;
i've fine boys and FIVE fine girls,
And each one has a mate.
Each one born on "a Kansas farm,
And proud of their native land;
As fine as the old state does produce,
A healthy and hearty band.
tx now live on Kansas soil,
Iowa and Texas each hold one,
And two are now in Canada,
But are good U. S. sons.
And then have dear good wife,
That others seem to lack,
Whose clancy work" is patching

To keep them on my back.

We think it quite plenty; ..

And five in 1920.
