who desired could ride and the autos
took them around town surprising the
visitors at the sight of so many lovely
homes in our little city.
The Hays City Mill and Elevator Co.
surely showed its appreciation of our
town and county in it's help on the Odd
Fellows celebration. Manager Otto
Swaller had been IN Kansas City and
knew how it should be done and set
the pace. The decoration Of the mill
was simply grand. The streamers and
flags appropriate, while the street
banner was the finest ever seen in the
west. Then every visitor was shown
through the mill and the ladies' were
given hat pin. the gentlemen watch
fob, made of gun-mental, so they viii

ed ''Seeond Annual meeting, April 26,
$780," an /. o. o. F. and Rebekah
medallion, and under that ''Compli-
ments of the Hays City Mill and Ele-
vatOr Company" 1t will be a re-
membrance to every visitor for years
TO come 500 of each were given out.
And when the other merchants and
business men saw those decorations on
Monday it was rush to get in the
procession and every yard of bunting
and cOlOrs were quickly bought and
fioated to the breeze. Our city never
looked nicer. It simply shows whai
our city can do if some one will start
and push nd secretary SwaIler surely
did. He is to be congratulated on the
results. The city feel grateful to the
Mill folks for their enterprise and helI
in entertaining the City's guests.

The town was decorated as never
before. Every store and ofice, every
building on the business streets was
profusely decorated. while all around
town many residences had out their
colors. Banners across the street and
bunting seemed to be everywhere and
the visitors were more than gratified.
The Mill and Elevator Company turned
themselves loose. Manager Swaller
gave our people touch of K. C. deco
ration. ACROSS the street was an
elegant Welcome to our City banner
and rows OF streamers stretched in
every direction. Large flags hoated
majestically from nearly every corner
of the mill.
THE BAND were out in all their old
time glory and met the trains and es-
corted the visitors to the hall. In the
afternoon they led the procession, all
the time playing with their old time
vim and melody and every citizens was
proud Of them end hope some arrang-

and we congratulate them. It is just
what Hays needs badly. We are In
viting conventions here, trying to build
up our city and double It in size, yet
we are getting along with q hall that
was built for our needs twenty years
ago. The G. A. r. Hall is a cozy little
place and large enough for many little
shows, but If we want big troupes to
stop here we must have larger hal
and larger stage accommodations with
its accompanying dressing rooms fol
good actors who insist on such accom-
Emodations- And for conventions We
must have q hall that could seat al
least T50. The necessity Of such hal
was shown this week at the Odd Eel
lows gathering. The speaking wal
allowed in the State property at thu
Normal by some Of the Normal folk
taking part, bus travelling theatrica
parties cannot get the use Of it. Will

hall could be built here complete fo

Nav Not Kill Buffalo.

HELENA, Nov. 1.-THE right of the
Canadian officials to shoot bulls in
the Pablo herd on the Flathead In.
dian reserv alton will be determined in
the supreme court of this state, this
action being decided upon a. the re.
suit of conference between Attorney
General Galen and T. G. Marshall of
Missoula, representing Pablo, today.
The only question involved is as to
whether or not the buff slo are ''wild
animals within the meaning of the
game laws of this state. 1t is ques.
tion of fact aud not of law, and it is
understood that Pablo will apply for
a writ from the supreme court and
thus have the m after threshed out.
Colonel Marshall claims that the
ten or twelve buffalo sought to be
killed we're never wild" in this state,
but were purch hased by Pablo and
Allard years ago from Buffalo Jones
In Kansas and shipped to Montana.
He further asserts that the animals
have always been herded and kept
under as close supervision as are
range cattle and that In no sense can
they be called wild animals.

And the children home at last.
To the little brown house by the road
Had come Thanksgiving day.
And the wintry air. II they felt It there.
Had the tender warmth Of May.
The fathers tongue was loosened,
And the mothers laugh was clear
For the chrism Of love was poured above

Oh. mother. old and gray.
