Two Fast Basketball Games Scheduled
for Tonight.


Two fast games of basketball are
scheduled for tonight in Thomas gym
nasium at Washburn. At 1880 o'clock
Coach Verb" Barnes's high school
tossers will meet the Kansas City,
Kan, high school quintet. Altho the
dope is slightly in favor of the visitors,
the Topeka high boys are still touchy
about thier loss to the Oakland high
school five, and fast good game is
scheduled
The main go of the evening, between
Washburn and Ottawa, will be a furi-
ously fought contest. In fact, the hard
est game yet played in Topeka by
Washburn. In their first game this
season with Ottawa, the Ichabods were
defeated. and they are itching to stop
Ottawa's apparently easy march thru
the conference. Coach Dwight Ream.
of Washburn, is expressing no con-
fidence concerning the outcome. but
his basketeers are aching for a chance
to beat the Baptists.
The two games constitute a good
calendar for a night of real playing.

TERRIFIC WIND STORM
DOES MUCH DAMAGE

This section was visited by a Sc.
we're wind storm on Wednesday last
which caused much damage OF n mi.
nor character, such as blowing down
wind mills, breaking branches of
trees, unroofing sheds. etc.
The most serious loss reported is
from the region north and west of
Holyoke, where the cattle barn of
s, n. Goddard was wrecked
There was no moisture accompany
ing the wSnd at Holyoke, but Paoli
and Haxtun report heavy rains and
some hail in the west end of the
county.
Colver Brothers and the Cash Gro.
cery both lost glass from their store
fronts, but no more serious dam
age occurred In Holyoke.
1t is estimated that five hundred
mills were blown down between here
and Julesburg and numerous sheds
and small buildings were wrecked.
In some sections, 1t is reported, wheat
was badly damaged. One man suf-
7ered the loss of section OF fine
wheat.
The rush for new windmills and
repairs for damaged mills is causing
Eolyoke merchants to hustle to fill
the demands, as the farmers cannot
long do without water and few have
storage capacity.
Gardens suffered from the heavy
wind. The sides of buildings were
plastered with heavy coat of mud
and Holyoke merchants spent a
greater portion of Thursday cleaning
up their windows and the fronts of
their stores and homes.
In some sections north and west
the rain was so heavy as to COM
pletely fill the lister rows with water.
This is bad for the corn, causing n
crust to form. thus preventing the
corn from coming through the
ground.
Cars were blown over, but no ac-
cidents were reported
This is the worst wind storm We
have had in many year.

Crop Conditions

Crop conditions generally in the
county are good. Fall wheat. where
the ground was properly prepared. is
making splendid growth. but where
seeded on old stubble many fields do
not promise a large yield.
The ground is In fine condition for
listing corn and this week will see
the planting about finished.

ture from now on during the growing
season. there will be the usual large
crop produced In this county.

GRADE SCHOOL AND TEACHERS

One OF the most successful school
years we ever had closed last Fri.
day. This ended the first school
term which was carried on In the
new grade school building. The
equipment and size of the school
have been SO far different this year
that most all Of the pupils had to be
taught new rules Immediately after
entering their new home. Prof.
Chambers has had the great respon.
sibilitv Of making these rules and
executing them. Many rules and reg.
ulations had to be considered for
some time before they were put in
force. and never was q rule put In
force that did not prove for the best.
Everything during the year has
been accomplished 80 well that we
all hope the successors Of Prof.
Chambers will be as capable as he
and keep things going and improv.
ing during the years to come. Most
of the teachers have been reelected
for the next year and will be well
coined back when fall comes again.
The ones who have agreed to return
are: Miss Ellie Johnson. Miss Olive
Young. Miss Katherine Harrison,
Miss Maude Evans and Miss Madge
Crowner. The others. we are sorry
TO say. have made other plans and
will not return.
Prof. Chambers has decided to
spend his vacation ut his home In

vacancies OF those teachers who will
not return. The board is consider.
ing the employment of special
teacher to teach music, penmaaship
and drawing In the school. We feel
that such teacher is very much
needed in our schools where there
is the enrolment to justify such a
teacher as in Holyoke and Haxtun.
The eighth grade class leaving the
school is the largest in the history
of the school, twenty-seven having
been passed. A large class is promis.
ed for next year, who have been very
skillfully instructed under Miss Crow
uer this year. No special exercises

dispense with the services OF those
employed the past year. The vacant

LEST We FORGET

LoE US not forget to honor The mem
ory of our soldier dead, by a proper OBJ
serUance of Memorial Day next Monday.
The liberty which we enjoy, our
privileges of freedom, and the many op-
portunities afforded us under the great
est and best government on this earth,
are due to sacrifices made by our SOL
diers in .Dars for the preservation of our
liberty.
The least that ve can do to show
some appreciation of these sacrifices is
to lay aside all other duties for this one
day and devote it to this purpose.
