State Soctoty Togole The Rush Center Breeze A. Kirch, Publisher, 1.50 Per Year In Advance. Vol 13; Rush Center, Rush County, Kansas, Friday, Apr. 9 1915. No 49 Made a Good Showing The Literary program given at the Auditorium last Friday night was a success.

Every was rendered as advernumber tised and they allacquitted themwith credit. The selecselves tions rendered by. Misses Lula Schraeder, Atha Gatesand Edith Dixon were especially good as was also the pantomine given by Miss Winnie Canon. The most interseting part of the program was the display in the rear end hall of what the school had of the and showed by combeen doing, the advancement the parison scholars have made this term. At the right of the door as you atered was the penmanship display, specimans of writing was written last October and copies of it written by the same pupil last week were placed side by side, and it was hard to realize such an inprovement could that made in such a short time.

be side were specimans of At one written by Prof. L. D. writings Reynolds who has the penmanin charge. Taking it ship class all in all, the display plainly showed what could be and is done by teacher, as Prof.

a competent Reynolds certainly is. The display of work done by the Manual Training class was certainly a credit to the school. The office desk built by Lester Campbell the tool chest by Roy Button and the footstool by Glen Bates were certainly fine specimans of work and Prof. Whisnant who had this classin charge certainly deserves credit for his work in this line while this is a new feature in our school we believe it should be continued and encouraged. The display of maps drawn by the fourth and fifth grades were good and also instructive to even the older people, and especially canthis be said of the product of the United States whicn map was drawn on a large piece of eard board and the products each state produced were stuck on the map in their proper positions.

The display of the primary rooms taught by Mrs. Whisnant and Miss Ruth Bitter was Revolvers A revolver is a nickle plated substitute for bravery, which has practically driven the orig. inal article out of the market. The revolver gives a puny man with a inch brain and the pluck of a grasshopper a hundred yard reach and makes him more deadly than a Sioux Indian. There was a time when this country had no dangerous animals, except bears and wolves, and life was safe, except on the fromtier but now vast hordes of 16 year old boys who use their skulls for a dime novel bookcase, roam the streets with cigarettes in their face and portadlecannon in their hip pockets, producing obituaries with the skill and enthusiasm of a cholera microbe; while it is at times possible to meet a personal enemy who has been chasing you for a week, and who is reluctantly compelled to defend himself when he catches you by filling you so full of lead that your remains will require eight pallbearers.

Revolvers are now so generally used in debate, in domestic quarrels and repartee of all sorts that 8,000 Americans die of them each year, it is said. Mitchell. S. D. Gazette.

CARD OF THANKS Again we are called upon to express to you our heartfelt thanks for your kindly aid and simpathy during the sicknes and death of our dear R. K. Under wood and family. Mrs. McDanial and family.

very good. The off hand drawing and close cutting displays were hard to beat. We believe since the showing made good last Friday night that the people, parents in particular realize that the teachers of our schools have done lots more good work than they have been given credit for. We believe all will agree that the teachers and pupils are doing their work well. This display should be made an annual affair.

Wampler who lives two miles west of town was stepping mighty high the first of the week A Standard reporter stepped up to him, and tapping him on the shoulder asked: "Do you think there will be any war Dock?" He gazed at the reporter a moment, and then keying his voice to its highes pitch, shouted "War? No, its a girl!" and then he got into his buggy and bome at a break neck speed. Later we learned that Mr, Wamplers wife gave birth to a bouncing baby girl last Monday. Miss Mable Lowe entertained a number of her young friends at the M. E. parsonage last Monday evening.

The Rush Center Skim station started up last Friday, as per previous announcement, but for some reason there are but few patrons and of course the milk supply is very small. Last Sunday while a Standard representative was strolling a- long one of the residence streets in the west part of town, he noticed a miniature fort which had been built by some of Rush Center's young America. The "fort" was manned with four or five "make believe connons, and monsterous disappearing gun," whose yawning muzzle was enough to scare the bravest of the brave. This only goes show that even the small boy has caught the war spirit and is making hasty preperations to meet the enemy and we venture the assertion, that if the much tazked of Spanish torpedo flontilla, should unexpectedly steam up the raging Walnut under cover of darkness some night, and attempt to bombard our beautiful little city, they may count on receiving a warm reception.

three brothers and oue sister, all of whom are here at this time, besides a host of friends and relatives. Sister Underwood as I knew her was always cheerful and happy, wearing a sinile of sunshine, and having a kind word for every one She was a goodneighbor, a loving mother and a faithful wife. Her place will be vacant, and she will be missed by a large circle of friends and loved ones. I know not what the furture hath, Of marvel or surprise; Assured alone that life and death His mercy underlies. And so beside the silent sea I wait the muffled oar.

It is believed that the wheat is killed and a complete loss. It will be hard to deter man at the present time. It will depend largely on how much the balance of the field yields per acre next harvest. People who have burning to do can't be too careful especially when the wind is blow ing.
