THANKSGIVING DAY
Because Dickinson county high
school has' given up football for the
rest of the season, the Abilene hlgl
phoni will nlav Enterprise here
Thanksgiving day. The Abilene
eleven was scheduled to go to En-'
terprlse Friday of this week but
made the substitution when Chap
man cancelled the Thanksgiving
game. Disciplinary troubles have
caused Chapman to give np the

may be arranged for this Friday.
HOPE FARMERS HOLD
THEIR ANNUAL INSTITUTE
Dickinson county is making a fine
start toward a better community
spirit.
In Solomon a few days ago was
opened a $6500 recreation hall that
is to be the gathering place of the
community. It 'has athletic head
quarters, a place for public gather
ings, and a series of home enter
tainments has been arranged dur
ing, the wiater where tbir people can
gef togetHer. The first or these"
was a "get acquainted" social to
which hundreds came to meet their
neighbors and visit during the ev
ening. Knox Schoolhoose. .
Out' in the country school districts
is going on a somewhat similar
change of public thinking in regard
to the possibilities of social . devel
opment. A few days ' ago a new
school house was dedicated in the
Knox district a few miles south of
Abilene. Ordinarily that statement
does not mean much but this was
an exceptional incident. The old
school house built back in the sev
enties had been good enough for
the fathers but it was not good
enough for this generation. When
the bonds were voted. not a ballot
was cast against them. The build
ing is the most modern and finish
ed type of a rural school . house. It
la so neat that one almost envies
The annual farmers' institute is
being held at Hope today. The
Woodbine institute is soheduled-for
tomorrow. At both of these meet

Adah Lewis of the agricultural col
lege will be present and take part
In interesting programs.
CHICKEN SHED ON NORTH
When the structure was planned
the young men of the neighborhood
had a theory that it should be
something more than a school house.
They wanted to make it useful in
other ways. It is seven miles to
town. "Why not have a work shop
out here where we can repair our
toW." one asked1- , So in one cor
ner of the building isset aside a
small room which is to be the dis
trict farmers' own headquarters. It
is to be fitted up with a complete
set of carpenter's tools, iron work
ing tools and everything that will
be useful in repairing and even in
construction. The pupils are to be
taught manual trailing and will be
able, to help their parents in many
a way.
Hold "Community Day."
North of Chapman last week in
what is known as the Wesley neigh
borhood was held a "Community
Day," the first in that section of
the state. Some two hundred per
sons spent the day partly in im
proving the school house and the
church, partly in improving the
roads, partly in enjoying ' a real
country - dinner and later in listen
ing to addresses on how to make
the community better. A speaker
done elsewhere and how community
ure can De urted out of the ordin
ary rut to better usefulness.
Plans for some sort of gatherings
that will accomplish things for the
neighborhood were made and the
coming winter promises to be more
interesting than previous ones, for
young as well as old. Here are some
of the topics that were suggested
for discussion at a neighborhood im
provement clnb: Boys' corn clubs,,
farmers' institutes, how lo raise ten
bushels more per acre, pure bred
vs.' scrub cows, value of playground,
the deadly house fly, milk and con
tagious diseases, water and conta
gious diseases, preventable diseases,
women's club in the ' country, the
federated church, the union church,
tenant farmers conservation.
When Secretary Coburn lamented
the. other day that the rural popu
lation of .Kansas is decreasing while
the urban population Increases, he
realized that some of the reasons
for the change lie in the country
conditions themselves. The estab
lishing of better sentiment for act
ual development and a larger com-;
munity interest will be the factor
that will arrest the eagerness' to
move to town.

REPENTED PADDING
EXPENSE ACCOUNTS
In talking about repentance last
night at the Christian church, Mr.
Knowles told of a Christian preach
er in a town in central Kansas who,
at one time, was a traveling sales
man. After his conversion he sent
the house a check for $1000 to re
pay them for amounts stolen by
padded expense accounts. This was
quoted as, an example of the results
of true repentance. The gas for
the stereopticon has arrived and an
illustrated song will be given to
night. The sermon subject: "The
