BUILDING BOOM AT HAYS.
College Town of Western Kansas Sees
Biggest Growth in History.

Hays, Kan, Aug. 6.-The eXpendi
lures for building operations in Hays
which have been started this summer
will make a total of $314,600. Ac-
cOrding to the assessor the increase in
the population of Hays, excluding all
Normal students, is over 800 people
in less than year. Of the total
$314,600 about $92,100 is being spent
in building new homes
Hays is the home of ST. Joseph's
college and the Fort Hays Kansas
Normal school and is rapidly becom
ing s. home town" to which people
move to educate their children. This
summers building boom is the great
est one in the history of the town.
Two new banks have been organized
by citizens of Hays and established in
Victoria and Walker, two small towns
east of Hays. The capacity of the
water system has been increased
from $4,000 gallons to 1000 gallons.
The amount of these things is not in
Guided in the $314,600.
At a recent booster meeting the
business men of Hays adopted the slo
gan of $4,000 population in four
years" They discussed the move
ment now on foot to pave the main
way. goo
One reason for the rapid increase in
building activity is that the enroll
ment of the Fort Hays Normal has
trip1ed in two years and the prospect
this fall is for another heavy increase
in its enrolment. There will be an
increased demand for rooms to accom-
modate the large student body of the
state school.

How Thin People
Can Put On Flesh
A New Discovery.

Thin men and women-that big, hearty,
filling dinner you ate last night. What
became of all the fat producing nourish-
ment it contained? You haven't gained
in weight one ounce. That food passed
from your body like unburned coal
through an open CRATE. The material
there, but your food doesn't work
and stick, and the plain truth is you
hardly get enough nOurishment from
your meals to pay for the cost of cook
ing. This is true of thin folks the world
over. Your nutritive organs your func
tons of assimilation, are sadly out of
gear and need reconstruction.
Cut out the foolish foods and funny
sawdust diets. Omit the flesh cream rub
one. Cut out everything but the meals you
are eating and eat with every one of
those a single Sargol tablet. In two weeks
note the difference. Five to eight good
solid pounds of healthy, stay there" fat
your weak, stagnant blood with millions
of fresh new red blood corpuscIes-gives
the blood the carrying power to deliver
every ounce of fat-ma king material in your
food to every part of your body. Sargol.
too mixes with your food and prepares
it for the blood in easily assimilated form.
Thin people gain all the way from 10 to 25
pounds a month while taking Sargol, and
the new flesh stays put. Sargol tablets
are q scient ific combination of six of the
best flesh producing elements known to
chemistry. They come 40 tablets to a
package. are pleasant. harmless and mex

MAY LENGTHEN SUMNER TERM.
Majority of Students at X. S. A. G.
Favor Longer Sessions.

Manhattan, Kan. Aug. 6.-That a
majority of the students who this year
attended the summer session of the
Kansas State Agricultural college, de-
sire to have the term heightened is
indicated by the result of a vote taken
by Edwin l.. Holton, director of the
summer school. OF 1852 students who
voted, II asked that the term be made
twelve weeks, and IS that it be made
eight weeks-a total of 155 who
wanted an increase of the summer
session Most of the school teachers
of the state in attendance were among
this number. One hundred and seven
voted to keep the session at six weeks.
An increase to twelve weeks would
place the institution on the quarter
system, which is gradually being
adopted by the large universities and
colleges of the country 1t is argued
that this system eliminates much
waste which takes place when eX-
pensive plants are left idle for a con-
siderable part of the year.

ancient Indian corn
The archaeologists figure the corn to
be at least 1000 years old. Pratt
gave ten grains to Kelley, custodian of
Convention hall his return to
Hutchinson. Kelley carefully planted
them.
Eight of the ten grains grew, the
corn growing more rapidly than or
binary field corn. There are twenty
ears now on the eight stalks, and an
average of fifty kernels to the ear
The corn looks like ordinary field
corn as it grows, but the stalks are
much taller and the ears smaller,
while the kernels are yellow with a
blotch like blood at the tips of each.
Il have been offered as high as a
dollar for a kerneI, and believe 1

MOUNTAIN LION AT HARMED.
Carries OFF StOck-Driven From Hills
by Heavy Rains.

Larned, Kan, Aug. 6.-What is be-
lieved to be a mountain lion has been
killing stock in this vicinity. Enoch
Chase, a farmer in the Happy Hollow
neighborhood, while out after his
cows saw the tracks of some kind of
an animal that he thinks was a noun
tain lion. 1t was in the soft mud on
the south side of the creek, and he
thinks it jumped the creek there. If
it did it must have taken two jumps,
for the creek is about fifty feet wide.
He thinks the heavy rains in the
mountains drove them out and they
are making for the heavy timber of
the Ozarks down in Missouri.
