A motion picture entertainment Of
an unusually high order was given at
the Gymnasium, Monday evening,
April 10th in behalf of the Boys Ath-

large as the occasion would seem to
warrant. 1.-THE Moonlight Sonata"

thoroughly enjoyed by all presnt. We
would here acknowledge our indebted
ness to Miss Mcclure for donating her
services in supplying the music for

The local fire company was called
out just before noon on Tuesday to
assist in putting out bad grass and
brush fire that was very threatening
for a few minutes, the home of F. G.
Williams on William street, being very
close to the blaze. The fire started in
the bushes southwest of Mr.. Williams
home and was first discovered by one
of his small children who was playing
out doors. Aid was at once summoned
and the boys from Burr & Burton
Seminary, headed by Principal Brooks
made a very helpful fire brigade. The
hose cart was brought out and the
flames were soon under control. This
is the third severe brush fire within a
week that has occurred on this side Of
the valley, the other two being at the
extreme south and north extremeties
of the village. The building of fires
during this very dry weather should
be discouraged by those who have any

sfrucfion.
strucfioT

Professor Clarence J. Smith, of the
Fort Hays Kansas Normal School, has
for three years been chairman of the
committee of the manual arts round
table of the Kansas State Teachers
Association, appointed to determine the
standards OF line notation in mechani-
cal drawing. The report of Professor
Smiths committee has been adopted
by the manual arts round table of Kan
sas. The reason for the need of uni
formity in standards of line notations
is that thera$ MAS been very decided
leak in efficiency in the drawing depart
ment of all manual training work
Drawing is a universal language, but,
like English, there is a disagreement
among authorities as to spelling and in
drafting the lines correspond to letters.
Professor Smith is calling the atten-
ton of school boards, high school prin-
cipals and superintendent to the stan
dard adopted by the state association
for more efficient teaching In manual
training.

More Flour Facts.

The bleaching process in most general
use generates nitrogen peroxide by
electrical machinery discharging ting
gas into the flour
The United States Board of Food In
spection in their Decision No. 100 has
given it as their unanimous opinion
that flour bleached with NITROGEN
PEROXIDE is an adulterated product
under the FOOD and DRUGS Act OF
1906 This was in 1909 and at that
time the shipment of bleached flour on
interstate business was prohibited This
order was modified later and the sale OF
bleached -four permitted, subject to
state regulation Pennsylvania pro
hibits it, Kansas permits it when
labeled BLEACHED. If you want
BLEACHED flour, look for the label.
If you want PURE UNBLEACHED
flour with the natural rich creamy
color, buy SEMOLINO.

Announcement.

We wish to announce that we have
established twenty-four hour service
in Hays City for the first time in its
history. Last summer and the summer
before we were able to run twenty
four hours during the summer months
only because of making ice, but now
we are going to run continuous we hope
forever. We wish to bring attention
to the electric light users and to those
who may in the future use electricity
and let us right here remind you, or at
least the most of you, that you all will
be using electricity, so why put off hay
ing one of the most pleasant OF luxuries
and almost a necessity of today
To those of you who would ike elect
ricity and feel as though you cannot
afford to put what it costs to install all
in at once you can make terms with Us
to satisfy yourself. Attention. For the
the next sixty days we will wire COM
plete any four room house in Hays
every thing ready to turn on the cur
rent for $1,000, if located on our pres
ent lines, and houses not on our present
lines wishing to be connected up for
electricity can get very attractive
proposition from US. We wish to an
nounce that if the electric light bill is
paid on or before the 10th of each
month at the Citizens State Bank that
the price of electricity will be reduced
to all consumers, large and small. We
are making this reduction because OF
the volume of new business we have
gotten and we think the volume of more
new business will justify US in making
the reductions. From May 1st to July
list we had twenty-six new customers.
From July LIST to January 1st, 1916, we
are expecting fifty more new custom
ers. We now wish to appeal to the
users of electricity to get the habit of
using electricity in the day time in CT
der to get the work done much easier,
quicker and better, such as vacuum
cleaners, fiat irons, ranges, cooking
utensils of all kinds, fans, curling irons,
bath water heaters, sewing machine
motors, motors of all sizes and many
Vel useful we w III
sell electrical goods on very small
margin in order to get the people to
use them. ALI the hardware stores are
selling electrical goods. Remember,
for all heating devices rate of cents
per k. W. is given by installing an ex-
ira meter. Trusting that you people of
Hays will fully appreciate the full val
ue of twenty-four hour service in q
town of this size where the plant is a
private ownership and use all the cur
rent you can because you must realize
we are under a very heavy extra ex-
pence starting this new service sc
please, everybody boost for an asset to
Hays City, and we do hereby promise
further that if our business increases
so that we can reduce the rate to ten
cents we will be very glad to do so.
