Marly this fall they turned their faces to the east intending to make the long jour ney back to Iowa in a prairie schoon er. At this time tlie family consisted of father, mother and seven children. Their possessions w re several anti iniati cl horses and the few humble articles they were able to pack in their wagon. They reached the southern line of Richardson count} in November, Here one horse died and the rendition of the family tin a:' ury nee dated a 5 It. They pitch ed lie ir tent on the wooded knoll just above Money Creek, on the farm of Frank Alliin, and assisted the farmers to shut k corn, expecting to he alile to push on to their destina tion in Iowa before the winter elo ■■ I in on them. However, ip thin they were disap pointed and before they fully realized the gravity of their situation they were completely snowed in. The tent in whir,i the family of nine lias spent ihi winter is a small 10x12 square affair with side walls of about three feet high. Their cloth ing was entirely inadequate even for mild weather, and of furniture they have nothing. To add to their difficulties the KNOCKING FOR ADMISSION __ NEW INDUSTRY SEEKING A LO CATION HERE Poultry Feeding Plant Makes Com mercial Club a Proposition Committee At Work.

Ith, conies the “tiyr oi war lor the Falls City I lie'll School Basket Ball Team a contest with the unbeaten Seneca, Kansas Town Team. Flic* visitors know not the taste of defeat, having Won nine straight without a bobble, tiie Schnielzer Arms 'Team of Kansas City, and ^yen Falls City falling beiore tfieir prowess. Falls City has won eiylit out of ten yames. This will probably be the fastest yame of the season and one worth seeing. Came called at s o’clock sharp. father I in ike his leg Christinas flu in a runaway accident. Not feeling tha< he could afford the assistance of a physician he set and bandaged his broken limb himself. Few persons would have the courage to undertake an operation of this kind, even if they possessed the necessary skill. It is five weeks since the accident and in spite of conditions the fracture has honied nicely and Mr. Wilcox is able to move about to some extent, ! greatly to bis comfort, and the relief I of their i Jreinely cramped quart is. As the family was entirely with , out. means of any kind excepting what | they v. re abte to earn shucking corn, their living has been necessarily a 1 precarious on", until ing of their plight came to the rescue J very generously. The county lias al so very recently arranged to give them some relief. As a consequence several of the children have been en abled to start to school the last week and the situation generally is no longer so desperate, lliough still precarious enough. The family has been the victim of misfortune. They are worthy, rug ged, willing and industrious. They are looking for a home where they can settle down and take up the task of making a decent livelihood once again. Any one with an open ing will do well to look up this family n't once. Full particulars can be had at any time by calling up The Tribune. Injured By a Fall. Mrs. Sam Marts is one lady in I town that seems to meet with more tnan her share of accidents. Dur ing the year she has been seriously injured several times. Monday while working around her kitchen she slipped and fell. Both bones in her left arm were broken just above the wrist. She called Chief Marts over the telephone, and he took I)r. Kerr down to dross the injury. It is very painful indeed, but Mrs. Marts is , now getting along nicely. were proud of the victory, tint at Iho same time it clouded their pleas ure (o know the Peru young ladies felt so keenly tlieir defeat. They were a fine team to play with and the game went through without a single misunderstanding. The best of filling prevailed. Our girls were so enthused and so anxious to win that they made some fouls which helped Peru to score. But they have no regrets and consider the game a pleasant one from beginning to end. The high school hoys contested with the Syracuse high school for honors af the Falls ('itv gymnasium last Fridnv evening and scored high honors, the score being 47 to "2. It was an interesting game and the boys surely played well. They knew that, to win that game from Syracuse, disqualified her for state honors. As dur boys are in for that very thing it can be roadilly seen they played ball. Everybody was enthusiastic anil there was plenty of encouragement. We are sorry for Syracuse, but really our boys can’t help it. There was not. as large a crowd to the game .as usual, but those who were out felt well repaid. Now for the state honors, AH together now! _ Building Resumed.

WOOD OFFERS TIMELY SUGGESTIONS. ■ ■■■- — Contest With Stella Friday Evening Arouses Considerable Inter est in School Circles. The high school pupils and faculty arc looking forward with consider able anticipation to the debate with Stella. Friday evening, February 4. Not but whnt they expect, to win; but there is always an element of un certainty until the decision is in. The u'hool lias gotten so used to basket ball victories that they are expected ;e a matter of course, no matter whnt team opposes. But this is the first interdiigli school debate of the sea j non, and not much Is known of the J relative strength of the opponents. Considerable interest attaches i 10 thi* debate also because it la tho j beginning of a series of League de j hales. The winner of Ibis will bo j paired with another school in tho dis | iriel, and tho second winner with ; till another, and so on. The school who loses in the first contest is out of tho rm i , so far as the first honors are concerned. I ill t ’it' w ill be i 'pro nt; d 1 r ■lean Cain, .James Pal loon and (.’am ple Leyda. with Lucille Leyda m alternate. There people made a good showing in the preliminary held oine time ago. Mr. Hayes, who lias been coaching the team thinks they will give a good account of them selves Friday night.

The Southeastern District Tandem debates will he held at t ails City. The high school will of course be- rep 11 . ciitcd hi this debate also. Tie ability to express one’s self in com i |, dear and forcible Hnglish is a goal to he sought by nil young people. Tills' result can be attained only by much practice. Many child ii ii have latent ability for expression which would tii via la* developed if they were not iv<]uired to take part in some dlflnite rhetorical exercises. It is with it view of giving all an op portunity to gain facility in thinking and speaking that plans have been undertaken in the high school for a greater amount of rhetorical work. Hitherto this kind of work lias becu limited to the voluntary tic tubers of the literary society. The children in the grades will also lie given more of this work. - STELLA V.
