valorous deeds done by our boys in

Mrs. Stapleton has received a
number of these silken blossoms, and
already she has arranged the various
committees which will serve with her
in the disposition Of them. Presi-
dents and officials Of the clubs in
Americas have promised their sup
port, and a meeting has been called
for next Monday at the Alcazar thea
ter between the hours of 9 and 10
o'clock for the purpose of selling
them. Other peoples will be given
over to the young ladies Of the com
munity who will station themselves
in prominent places for selling their
flowers.
On Monday evening. May 30, Basil
Stockbridge, of Atlanta, will lecture
at the Carnegie Library on the aims
and purposes Of the American Lee
gion, giving a clear insight into the
principles of the organization and
what it will mean to future genera
tions.
Mrs. Stapleton is very enthusiast
tic over the bright prospect of the
sale Of the peoples in this city, and
anticipates no hesitancy on the part
of the public in purchasing them at
the very small price asked. She talks
very interestingly of her plans, and
said Tuesday eff the mothers who
went through the terrible anxiety of
having boys on the battle front will
go over again their mental agony

tails of the terrible battle which

buy not only one poppy but many
to show their gratitude for the safe
return of the boys who went with
such hope and pride and cheer to
fight for the right of humanity to
be free from depotism.
at is not much-just 10 cents
to pay for a testimonial of apr
citation for their splendid efforts and
answering faith, and every person
in the city should be glad to wear
their adopted flower on national
memorial day. In this way the peo-
pie who did not go to war, but who
remained here and hoped and prayed
and longed for the safe return of
the boys, can exhibit their praise
and thanksgiving for the safe home
coming, and it can indeed be made
not only memorial day but day of
JOY and song Let the wearing of the
poppy exempify just how glad and
true this spirit appreciation is. :"

Carl Martenson, of Washburn ru-
raj high school, scored the highest
number of points. Carl Ford, of Sill
yer Lake, was second, and Joe Hook,
of Seaman, was third. Seaman as a
school scored the most points. Wash
burn was second and Silver Lake,
third.
To Hold Contest at Seaman.
A return contest will be held at Sea-
man. This will probably be a grain
judging contest. After a series of
various judging contests the boys
making the highest scores will be Sc
lected to represent Shawnee county at
the state contest at Manhattan in the
spring.
The success of the judging contest
was due principally to the efforts of
L. A. Barney, on whose farm the con-
test was held. He gave the use of
his prize Holstein cattle. and collected
some high grade neighborhood stock
for the contest.
Shawnee county has three rural
high schools with a complete voca-
tional agriculture course. Her near
est competitors in the state have only
two.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1921-11-26

The idea of teaching vocational ag-
riculture in the high schools of Shaw
nee county and the state proba bly,
received one of it's biggest boosts when
a stock judging contest was held on
the F. A. Barney farm, three miles
north of Silver Lake, on November 16.
Forty-six boys participated in the
contest. Besides the contestants ap-
proximately 125 people attended. The
minds of many attending were broad
ened when they found that new type
of education had been instituted that
was applicable to real farm life. They
learned also. that with the vocational
agriculture course the farm boy could
specialize in his line of work as well
as other boys studying business
courses and various others to special
ize in their lines.
Eight Stock Judging Classes.
The eight classes of stock judged
were as follows: Shorthorn bulls;
Shorthorn cows; shorthorn heifers;
Holstein cows; Hampshire sows;
Hampshire gifts; Poland gifts. and
Shropshire sheep. C. C. Filing. of the
Kansas State Agricultural college,
acted as judge.

SANTA CLAUS USES AIRPLANE
Children and GrOWnups Given Many
Thrills Friday Afternoon.

Thrills Friday Afternoon.
If any of the city's youngsters were
commencing to get the notion, that,
perhaps, after all, this Santa Claus
business was only a myth, such doubts
were dispelled Friday afternoon with
the arrival of an honest-to-goodness
Santa, wl1iskers, red suit and every
thing, at Pelletier's store. Further
more, most of the Children of the city
and many of the grownups, too, were
given an extra thrill when Santa dove
down from the snowy clouds in the
north in an airplane, explaining after
his arrival that he had discarded his
reindeer in the cold north because he
could make better time and carry
more toys by the aerial route.
After circling above the Pelletiers
store for few minute to announce his
arrival in Topeka, Santa headed his
machine toward the fair grounds
where he landed in the presence of
large crod which gave him
hearty welcome. A still larger
crowd awaited his arrival at Pelletier's
a short time later where Santa gave
everyone chance to meet him. THE
Riddles had a lot of fun shaking hands
with the man who provides for them
their Christmas cheer but the for
mality was not limited to the youth
full class. 1t was a little game in
which everyone INDUCED, ana at times
it was necessary for the police to hold
the crowd back to protect the little
folks from a jam.
But if there were any children who
lost out on Santa's reception Friday
they can rest assured of having plenty
of opportunity TO see him and impart
to him their Christmas wants as he
will remain in Topeka until after that
gladstone day making HIS headquaI
tiers at Pel1etiers store

Inc actnaI playing season OF FOOT
ball is over, now the real work begins.
There are many questions to be de-
cided this season concerning the ac-
tons of certain teams and coaches, the
advisability of a division of the con-
ference, eligibility of few players and
other matters, including all-state
teams.
Arguments are rife every year at
the annual meeting of coaches and
faculty representatives at Topeka-but
this year, in our judgment, brings OPP
portunities galore for hot fights, and
cool judgment will be needed.
There is one question causing much
comment, that the colin approaches
with slight misgivings. The delicacy
OF the controversy is present and the
argument might involve a breach in
relations between two Kansas schools.
We refer to the little happening of
October the fourteenth at Wichita,
when Kansas Wesleyan withdrew from
the field in her game with Fair
mount university, thereby FORGETTING
the contest.
The affair constitutes a black mark
upon the fair name of the Kansas con-
ference. If two teams cannot COM
pete in a collegiate sport without the
necessity of a free-for-a1I argument
(if not fight, it is time something
drastic was done.
Both schools have their sides in the
matter.
Coach A. B. Mackie of Kansas Yves
leyan claims to have had trouble with
Paramount over the officials Of the
game. He says Fairmounr failed to
notify him of the officials TO be used
five days before the game, and other
things.
Heavy" Pringle, former star KAN
sas university backfield man, refereed
the contest. and according to a
lengthy five-page article issued from
the Salina school by MackIe. Pringle
made some decisions that bordered
under the classification of "putrid."
Coach Lamar Hoover of Paramount
has kept his thoughts about the mat
