Two highway robberies, the bold
est since the great taxlcab hold-up,
were committed yesterday, one in
New York, the other in Brooklyn,
less than two hours apart. In the
Manhattan robbery the thieves, three
in number, got $500, and in the
Brooklyn robbery the loot amounted
to s3OO0-all in small bills. In each
case a touring car was used by the
thieves in making, their escape. 1t
it the police theory that the same
gang accomplished both crimes. In
each case the thieves robbed messen-
gers carrying payroll money from
banks to factories.

COMMENC CEMENT WEEK
This and Last Week Have Been Busy
and Important Weeks in
cLAsIC HAYS CITY

Last Friday evening at the Lutheran
church, the twehty-sixth graduating
exercises Of the Hays High School was
held. The music for the evening was
OF a high order. The invocation was
given By Rev. Alexander. After the
announcements were made by Br. Pick
IN, Pres. W. A Lewis OF the Normal
College delivered one of the finest
xra luating class addresses ever given
il lays. He did not go along the old
0atds OF class addresses but filed the
thtcty-fve minutes with helpful, work
able thoughts that could be used by the
class members in shaping their future.
He gave them TO understand that the
modern twentieth century education
would express itself in some form of
beneficial human service; trat the old
conception Of filing a student up on
non workable Latin conjugaticns and
Creek roots had passed away and that
the new education now forming itself
into a workable theory consisted in
sesching such subjects that would train
the mind and still be useful TO the stu
dent IN his vocational life. If the stu
dent was &C be q faUmer. the mental
culture he got in studying agriculture
would act in ? dual capacity. He grip
ped the gseat audience with the force
OF bis reasoning and the theories ad-
vanced. All were delighted with his
address. It was pleasing to the Hays
people TO know that the Normal has
such man at lis head. The following
are the names of th3ee who received
diplomas from the School Board: Ida
W&sipoer, RszeI Rea. Grace Dyer. Es-
tler Reemenyder, Esther Freshnur,
Carl Clark, Jack Hoffman. John Miller
and WilfrGd Wann.

one Of the great educators of Kansas.
His address was full Of splendid advice
to the teachers. His estimate OF voca-
tional education showed him to be one
OF the advanced thinkers in this field
Prof. Wilson is z clear thinker, peda-
gogieal in style, logical, exact in his
presentation of his subject matter. He
believes in his life's work and profound
ly impressed his hearers-
At the close of the address President
Lewis made a careful statement of the
years work. 1915 different persons
have been enrolled in the past year.
Real college work has been done. Col
lege units and ho7rs are now used and
the college work must be done. The
new order is in full sway. All have a
great vision for the future Of the school
under the direction OF Pres. Lewis.
The audience was dismissed All who

NOTES.

number OF diamond rings were In
evidence on commencement day.
Pres. ". A. Lewis has been with Us
one year. When we compare him with
the other state educators who have
come to US during the year, we say our
president is the man for US.
For the first time in the history of
our school has the real college spirit
been indicated.
We find that the State Educational
Board has q real interest In the life
and growth of the school.
According TO Pres Lewis our grades
here are to be accented for their full
value in any State Educational institu-
tion. Truly we have grown.
The hospitality shown by the citizens
Of Hays to students and visitors has
become proverbial When the name
Hays is mentioned out over the state,
the comment is: Those fellows are q
Give bunch. ''TheY do things"
worthy of the college.
Miss Foster thinks she will spend the
coming school wear in one Of the great
universities. II she goes, she will be
greatly missed by the student body.
Senior class exercises Tuesday after
noon were very appropriate. The
memory sketch of the Educational Fort
Hays Incubator BY Clayton Bice was
instructive and striRinRly given. The
! Grafton given by Miss McLain on the
/ Agricultural Hall was a literary gem.
Conspicuous among the Alumni of
! the school, was Louie Christiansen
with his ever present joEiality. We
are glad to learn that he is to be g
candidate for county superintendent al
the coming election.
The promise OF a bountiful harvest
will call number OF the boys home
/ for the summer, but they say they vii
! Ffcome back again.

regularly coming here for seve-
raj years. He has made a sue
ess of his work where others
have failed. Science proves that
a long train of nervous troubles
often attributed to other caus-
es are really caused by some de-
feet in the eyes which cause
nervous headaches and many
other symptoms. Mr.. Strauss
has made the eye and its dis
eases an exclusive study for over
twenty years and employs all Of
the most modern methods. He
is registered both in Colorado
and Kansas and carries certifi-
Gates from both states. He is
amply prepared to meet your
needs. Give him a call.
