Last weeks Free Press proved verv
interesting and every extra copy we
had in the Office was called for and
sent away to friends. Remember it
only costs two cents a week, just the
postage, for you to have US send a
copy to your friends ard relatives
east or west and then thev will have q
long newsy letter every week about
Hays and Ellis county, whether you
write or not. 1t is surprising how
anxiously these outside people wait
and watch for the news from Hays
each week, it is so much longer than q
letter. Come in and try it fifty cents
worth.
