Ellis Review Notes:

"a letter from the Hays High school
asks for three football games. The
boys have not yet decided to organize
a team here. WE expect that for
the size of the town Ellis has more
young people away attending school
Chan any town in the state. They are
scattered all oyer the state and will all
make good In the studies they are tax
lpg.-...--The grain buyers of Hays have
been having a nice time and incidental
iy the farmers have been getting the
best Of it. They have been paying as
high as 90 cents per bushel for wheat
and the streets are lined with teams all
day long. Considerable wheat has
been looming to Ellis and while the
price has not been quite as high as at
Hays it has been fair, from 88 to 80
cents"

Increase ir Use Of cemena.

Four and a half million barrels of
Portland cement have lately been
bought by the Panama Canal Commits
sion for use on the canal. It is to be
shipped at the rate Of not less than two
thousand barrels day. and the con-
tractors must ship ten thousand barrels
a day if that amount is called for. The
cement industry in America is not
much more than twenty-five years old.
The total product Of the country in
1880 was forty-two thousand barrels,
or only enough to supply the minimum
demalds Of the canal commission for
twenty-one days. last year nearly
fifty million barrels were made here,
and the use of cement has only Just
begun. Some architects are afraid to
recommend it to their clients, but
others have built large and ornate
structures out of it. Youths Compan-
