following notice:
"One of our acquaintanceS-we will

Being popular only with dogs was
the experience of George v. Denton,
city food inspector, and S. C. Davis,
sanitary inspector, Friday afternoon.
Everywhere that Denton and Davis
went the dogs were sure to go, but
no other animals or humans were at

from the court of Topeka; they were
not welcome in other law-abidinS
places.

of us to do so until we disposed of a
package we were carrying" Denton
said

them to vacate the court of Topeka,

The newspaper "bug" has found a
new home in Kansas. 1t is respon-
sible for the blossoming into publica-
ton of 1.-The Hill Side News issued
weekly by inexperienced but enthusf-
astic women editors and reporters at
the Kansas State Industrial Farm for
Women at Lansing
Altho the hours are crowded with
work and with recreation at the farm.
a few of the girls and women have
found time to entertain the newspaper
bug" They are willing to give much
more effort to the bugs entertain
ment than are many who possess him.
for the paper is published without
typewriters, without printers ink, and
without printers troubles, for there's
not a stick of type in the publishing
office of Hill Side News; without
noisy presses and even without adver-
Using, and its circulation is 100 per
cent. All of which means that it is
written in long hand, an almost for
gotten but effective method of record
ing thought, on wrapping paper, cut
and folded into regulation newspaper
size.
Mrs. Perry Was For 1t.
The girls went to Mrs. Julia Perry,
superintendent. with their idea of put
ting out a farm newspaper and timidly
presented their suggestion. Mrs. Perry
gave her consent, tho rather wonder
ing how they expected to accomplish
their plan. Two issues of Hill Side
News have appeared and she is en-
couraging it's publication, as well as
acting as chief critic.
The paper has a logical arrange
ment from it's front page news, thru
its departmentized columns given
to the different parts of farm life, to
the editorial column, the poetry and
humor and classified sections,
What! What's this? A quotation

reader of hillside News" when she
glanced at the editorial column. Right

In the joke column:
Lucy: Effie, what is flattery?''
-Effie: "Flattery, my dear is mere
ly having some one tell us all the nice
things We have always thought about
ourselves"
Following the quotation from the
Rubaiyat leading the editorial column
lis an application of the philosophy to
the life at the farm, which reads:
These words were written several
hundred years ago by a Persian phi
losopher. But the inclination of the
modern generation seems to be in the
direction of throwing off the rules and
restrictions of civilization and to make
the world over to suit ourselves, in
stead of making ourselves over to suit
the world in which we live.
Result of Combined Thought
"If We should stop long enough to
realize that the laws under which we
are governed are the result of the
combined thought and opinions of the
wiSest men since the beginning of time
we would see how useless is our rebel

| be contented to live law-abiding, useful
! lives. 1t is to bring US to realization
| of this act that we are detained in this
institution.
TT is not to punish us for past
| transgressions of the law, but to teach
us self-control and self-dependence; to

and uncertainty, cropping toward thai

| Toward the back of the paper is this

To help the News along

That have helped to make me strong
Hold up your head, forget the past

No matter what your duties are

Just put your whole heart in it
Never try to sbirk
The best way to forget the past
Is to work. work. work.
