Hays, all things considered, is the
best town in Kansas west of the sixth
meridian. The United States reports
say it is the most healthful spot in her
borders. The state reports show more
bushels of grain shipped from her farms
than any other town. Hays has the
most up-to-date State Normal in the
Union; it has the largest Experimental
Station on the globe; it is city of
churches; the public schools and High
School are planned on the six and six
method" Hays is the city of homes
and culture-a city to live in at reas-
enable cost.

Auditorium last week. The play is one
Of great merit and when presented as it
was by our home cast, was not only en-
tertaining but uplifting.
Some who claim to be intelligent crit
les along dramatic lines say that the
cast put on one of the best amateur en-
tertainments that has ever been given
in Hays: The players were greatly as
sisted by the director, Miss Kackley.
She has specialized along this line and
is certainly a capable young woman.
She seems to be especially gifted IN the
direction of being able to impart to
those taking q part IN the play the char
acters they are to represent.
We congratulate the cast, the Civic
League and Miss Kaekley for this splen-
did entertainment.

You hear SO much about Copper

some nightly poor philosophy. He
spoke about opportunity only knocking
at the door but once and if you were
not there at the call you were dead

Opportunities are always knocking and
are largely equal, but the ability to
grasp them and to mentally appreciate
them belongs to the individual. The
world is full of % short cartridges trying
to explode 4O-40 rifles. Occasionally a
great sufferer becomes a great orator
Tradition tells US Demosthenes, a slut
terer, made good, but because you slut
ter is no reason that you are an orator.
Lincoln was tall man and was a mas
ter of men, but that does say that all
tall men are leaders. Napoleon was a
very short man, but that does not say
every runt is Napoleon. Make good
and we will consider your worth. Slut
ter or no stutter, long or short, make
good, young man, and the world will
recognize you. Do not quote to US
about the flowers in the desert bloom
