PROSPECTS, GOOD
FOR MCMILLAN
FOOTBALL TEAM

According to coach j. 7. Angus,
Mcmillan will have as good a foot
ball team this season as the one last
year which carried off the Central
Missouri championship. Four letter
men will be on the team again this
year. They are Howard Day, Ken
meth Day, Hugh Standsberry and
Harold Thomas. Last year Mcmillan
began the year with six letter men
but the spirit and enthusiasm which
Mr.. Angus finds this year will be
Of even more value in forming a win
wing eleven than several old players.
Last year was the second season
for a number of years that the high
school had a foot ball team and Mr.
Angus deserves ap immense amount
of credit for his work in shaping a
winning eleven and creating a spirit
of enthusiasm among the students in
general for clean athletics and foot
ball in particular.
Mr.. Angus says that he will start
the work of organizing the first
week of school and believes that he
will have six or seven men who have
had foot ball experience.

INVITATION FROM PRESIDENT
Hardings of This County May At

Miss Mary Il. WoOlvertOn, county
superintendent, received a note from
Miss Velma Harding, teacher In dis
trict SO, In which she claimed the
distinction of being the only teacher
In Dickinson county who is rela-
tive Of the president Her father,
J. w. Harding, farmer in Sher-
man township, Is third cousin OF
Warren G. Harding and the family
has received an invitation to be
present at the family reunion to be
held in the east next August. 1t is
probable that some of them will at
tend.
Miss Harding herself is n bright
and capable young woman. Last
January she passed the examination
for first grade certificate but as she
was under 20 years Of age she was
not eligible to receive the certificate.
She Is n graduate Of the Dickinson
county high school and is teaching

Once before, Miss WoOivcrton
stated, this county has had a teach

all of them were farmer boys, and
all were promoted to section foremen

worked for him and with him will
never forget the things he said or

County Has Fair Prospect on I77,-
900 Acres Sown

Dickinson county wheat, 177,OOC
acres Of II, il given n percentage oi
II per cent by the government re-
port just issued. The average con-
dition Of the state is go per cent
The report says:
Conditions already point to O
probable heavy abandonment OF acre
age next spring. Some wheat that
was sown early In the western and
north central counties sprouted and
has already perished from lack OF
moisture. Probably 100000 acres
of wheat seeded In the western half
of the state has not yet terminated
and has little chance to make a crop.
In the eastern half Of the state, with
the exception of some north central
Counties, the December condition
generally average 20 per cent or bet
ter. Conditions are fairly promising
in the northwest. Elsewhere the
average Is low, running usually from
20 per cent to 80 per cent.
There Is only one encouraging
note In the situation. 1t Is an estab-
lished fact that spring moisture Is
more essential and potent in making
wheat crops than is fall moisture. II
the plants have sufficient vitality to
pull through the winter. spring works
wonders in improvement in very
short time.
OF the wheat acreage in the Unit
ed States Kansas has more than one
fourth. Estimates show that A.
293,OOO acres Of wheat were sown
in the United States last fall or IL
per cent less than a year ago. The
average December condition In the
United States was 76 per cent OF

cent last year and ten year aver
