WILL ROUGH IT ONCOLORADOCLAIM
FOUR LAWRENCE YOUNG WOMEN TO TRY FARMING.
Miss Mary Fish Will be Absent 16 Months-Chicken Raising An Avocation.
Four Lawrence young women have taken out homestead claims in Colorado and will spend the sixteen months between the coming June and September 1912 in living the simple life on their quarter sections of land. Miss Mary C. Fish, assistant professor of education in this University, Miss Lola Brown, botany teacher in the Lawrence high school, Miss Muriel Whitmann, of Lawrence, and Miss Mary Brown, of Kansas City, Mo., are the ones concerned in the venture. They will also be accompanied by Mrs. Alfred Whitmann, of Lawrence. The claims which each of these four young women have taken out are adjacent to each other and are located twenty-five miles south of Pueblo in the Green Horn mountain district. For occupation and just to break the monotony of life in the country they will raise chickens during their sixteen months stay. Houses have been built on the adjoining corners of the four claims. They are frame houses and three of them are sixteen feet square; the fourth is the home of Miss Fish and is eighteen by twelve feet. It will contain a large living room and will be the general lounging place for the entire party.
"We are located two miles from the railroad, the nearest station being Graneros, so all of our provisions will have to be hauled overland," said one of the party when interviewed this afternoon. "Aside from our chicken raising project, we will also have a piano to help us pass away the time. We visited the place where we are to live, once last summer, but none of us has ever lived in Colorado."
Miss Fish will be gone from the University next year on a year leave of absence.

JAYHAWKERS LOST
Catholics Work With Stick Netted Nine Runs.
The fifth inning and nine costly errors caused K. U. to lose the game with St. Marys Thursday afternoon by a score of nine to three. In that inning the Catholics made seven runs before the slaughter was finally stopped. In the first four inning but twelve men faced Farrell and in all the other innings he pitched a steady game. The Jayhawkers tstarted their scoring in their half of the fourth when Walker knocked a two bagger to the left field and came in on Wilhelm's single. In the ninth inning Haller hit for three bases and then stole home.
The score by innings is :

Mrs. Crowe's Recital.
Mrs. Frederick Crowe who will give a piano recital at the Unitarian church to night is an artist of unusual ability and charm. "Musical America" says of her playing before the Federation of Music Clubs in Philadelphia recently: "A significant word should be said concerning the performance of Arne Oldberg's piano sonata by Mrs. Frederick Crowe of Lawrence, Kan. Appearing under conditions very trying in several respects, she nevertheless surmounted them and held the audience throughout by a quiet sincerity of feeling and an elevation of spirit which lent an unusual sense of combined gentleness and authority to her performance." Mrs. Crowe gave a recital last year on the University Course which brought her much enthusiastic praise. The sonata mentioned above is on her program for tonight and the other numbers combine to make a rich treat for music lovers. Admission is 35 cents.
