New York, April must be served? Gray hairs have an advantage in the arts and sciences but where the physical becomes a factor, according to the popular modern theory, it is young blood that counts. When twenty-four-year-old Jack Dempsey battered thirty-three-yearold Jess Willard almost into a pulp last summer in Toledo, the analysts declared: "Youth must be served." Similar verdicts that age had exacted its toll were given by the sport juries when S. Davidson Herron, the youthful Pittsburg golfer, won the national amateur title; when Miss New Helene Jersey Pollak, the twenty. girl, won indoor tennis championship; when Harry G.

Helm, the Buffalo high school boy, showed his heels to a field veteran in the two-mile run of the national indoor meet, and when Walter I. Reid the Providence school kid, won the standing high jump at the same meeting. Not Always Handicaps. Youth must be served, it is true, but it must be served its lessons in some cases. Look at Jack Britton still welterweight champion of the world at 38 years of age, and still teaching youngsters and veterans alike the fine points of fighting.

Look also at Johnny Kilbane, featherweight champion at 31 with gray-streaked hair. Pat McDonald, the giant New York traffic cop, who has been putting the shot for more than ten years, is still able to outheave the best of the younger generation. Eagon Erickson his jumping brother member of the traffic squad, showed Walter Whalen, the youthful Boston jumper, that age isn't such handicap by outjumping him at recent national indoor championship meet. Joie Ray is no kid any more and Norman Ross is no duckling in the water yet there are none in America who can come up to them in their hobbies. 38 Won Over 23.

"Billy" Johnston, national tennis champion, is a real veteran of the courts and he still takes pleasure in trouncing Vincent Richards and some of the youngsters of the court. One of the heaviest jolts ever handed to the theory came when Oscar Mathieson, the Norwegian, who has been skating for thirty of his thirtyeight years, took the world's, championship away from twenty-threeyear -old Bobby McLean. Baseball, since the war days, has been noticeably slow in developing new blood to pulse through the veins of the major leagues. Ty Cobb, champion batter of the American league for twelve out of the past thirteen years, is 34 years of age. Eddie Roush, king hitter of the National League, is 27 years old.

Walter Johnson, the peer of American League pitchers, and Grover Alevander, the best of the National League boxmen, are each 33 years old. Babe Ruth, the greatest home-run hitter of all times, is 26: SOCCER GAME TOMORROW Strong Methodist Team Will Play a Group of Picked Players The final soccer game of the season will be played tomorrow night at Cozy Theatre Phone No. 3458 TO-NITE: Pauline Frederick "The Paliser Case" Mack Sennett Comedy "Uncle Tom Without the Cabin" Admissions 10c and 20c TOMORROWVivian Martin in "Never Saw Such a Girl" Mack Sennett Comedy "Uncle Tom Without the Cabin" Admissions 10c and 20c THEATRE TODAY and TOMORROW: Constance Talmadge as the Runaway Chorus Girl in "Two Weeks" Hall Room Boys Comedy in "Almost a Hero" Matinee Tuesday, 2.30** Zerger field.

Wheatley is not about the harvest hand problem, not figuring upon having any wheat to harvest. The continued dry weather and high winds have already harvested over 200 acres for him. Unless the wheat prospect improves the Arkansas City Milling Company will not build a new elevator here this year. When they build they expect to erect: a concrete building with a capacity of 35,000 bushels, and be able to buy wheat regardless of car famines. The townships in this part of the county are entering upon a good roads crusade that seems to mean something.

Improved implements have been ordered. The plan is to do the work by contract under the supervision of the county engineer. It is the intention that all work done shall be of a permanent character. The object in road work will be road improvement and nothing else. The question of a job for somebody will not be' considered.

It seems that W. N. Heflin, whose home is in Barber county, five or six miles southeast of Sawyer, is under arrest at Medicine Lodge, charged with disposing of mortgaged property or an offense of that sort. The complaint was made by the bank at Lake or somebody connected with Cities bond was fixed at 500, which is said to be the amount involved. At last report the bond had not been furnished.

A big barn belonging to Herb five miles south of town was burned Wednesday afternoon, the of the fire not being known. Besides the building the following contents were destroyed: 300 bushels of corn, 25 bushels of oats, 6 tons of hay, 3 sets of harness and a few other articles. A big force of neighbors wes soon on the scene, but the fire had. gotten too far along and the wind was too high for anything to be done. But the crowd was able to save another barn, standing near, though it caught fire in several places.

A little corn was also saved. Mr. Rose estimates his loss at fifteen hundred dollars, two-thirds of which was covered by insurance. While there is no clue to the origin of the fire, but a mover took dinner near the barn. EASTER AT THE CHURCHES Appropriate Services Are Conducted by the Sunday Schools.
