1t is announced that the Ellsworth
District Epworth League Convention
is to be held in Hays on the thirteenth
and fourteenth of this month. Our
city is to be congratulated on captur-
ing this convention. A more inteIli-
gent, and higher class crowd of
young people could hardly be gotten
together than will met in this con-
vention from Central Western Kansas.
Our people will vie with each other for
the privilege of entertaining them in
their homes and making their stay
pleasant; while the fresh intellectual
and spiritual vigor of the young people
and the masterful addresses of some
very high class speakers will richly
reward all who may make sacrifice to
be present at the sessions of the
convention.

State Road thru Hoys.

The time is close at hand when the
state of Kansas, like the eastern
states before US, must establish a
state road that is, a macadamized
road which shall run straight across
the state between Kansas City and
Denver. Hays needs that state road
thru here, and, being the largest town
in the western part of the state and
on the main and shortest route between
these two cities, Hays people DEMAND
that this road be made thru Ellis
County. Hays is about the half way
point K. C. and Denver and affords an
excellent place for auto tourists to
spend the night on their two days trip.
A thru road across the state would
greatly increase the value of western
Kansas land by making it more
accessible. to real estate men and land
buyers, A state road thru western
Kansas will draw the eastern and
western parts closer together, and, by
mingling of the two bring about a
people who are second to none in the
Union.
Push, people of Ellis County, for the
state road, and with your consent
and authority the County Commissioners
viii no doubt lose no time in seeing
to it that Ellis County is not a tail
ender in anything which promotes the
welfare of Western Kansas.
