Civic League Notes.

For city clean, for city healthful,
for city beautiful, is the slogan of
the Civic League.
First and second prizes are to be
awarded in each of the three wards of
the city this year, for the best kept
lawn and most beautiful flower gar
dens.
A trash burner was pure hased this
week to be used to burn up the pa
per, ETC., that accumulate on the Court
house square.
Ever so many trees were planted
within our limits this year and it is
gratifying to note that they are of a
superior variety. The leach locust is
not among them. Now is the time to
plant Gamma bulbs. They are an att
tractive plant, require little care and
are inexpensive. Mrs. H. F. Addison,
will be glad to order them for you or
tell you where they can be gotten.
It is stated upon good authority that

point very soon. If it is the wish of
the people of Hays to have the depot
removed from the center of the city
now is the time to act. 1t has been
suggested that the citizens get together
and decide on new site.
The Flower Committee reports the
sale of over ninety dollars worth of
plants, bulbs, etc., ordered by the Com
mittee, and sold at cost plus the ex-
press charges. With so favorable sea
son Hays should have some attractive
flower gardens, this year.
There is bed of Sweet Williams in
the yard of the Hafamier home that
are certainly beautiful to look at.
These plants require very little care,
they are easily raised and bloom year
after year.

Abductor CAUGHT.

Walter Poe, the alleged alb ducter of
I7-year-old Ida Wilson near the south
line of Ellis county, on the night of
June eth, was arrested and-is now in
jail The following from the Topeka
Capital of June 18th gives a general
history of the crime as far as can be
learned:
Because 1t is felt that local talent at
tempted the abduction OF 17-year-old
Ida Wilson last Wednesday night, while
her parents were away, and took her
six miles in an automobile before she
escaped. the farming community six
teen miles southwest of here is aroused

The theory that the girl was walk

| County Attorney Ed Flood, who took
/ her into custody six miles from home

barefoot prints beside a mans shoe

the auto. Failure of the lights of the

Miss Wilson was gagged and heI
hands tied when the journey started
she says. When the lights went out
she was forced to get out of the car
her captOr holding her with one hand
while he worked with the other. Al
one of these times she worked hel

were attended to she escaped and ran
a distance into a field of wheat wher,
she hid. She says that she could heal

A Talk About Birds.

Children as a rule do not know where
their actual living comes from. They
do not know that the soil and not money
is what keeps them and all of US from
starvation. None of the children and
many adults do not realize the stern
truth that bird life is more pre- cious
to US than gold. How can children
realize this fact, if the older people
who ought to know viii not inform
them? The atmosphere and the earth
is alive with fruit and all kinds of crop
destroying insects and worms. The
birds, with the exception of the Eng
ish sparrow song birds, birds of beau
tiful plumage, birds of happy life, and
birds the very presence of which go to
make more cheerful the lives of all of
US, are busy every minute destroying
the bugs and worms, which are only TO
anxious to destroy the blossoms, vines,
roots and stems upon which mankin d
depends for life.
The very best friend on earth the
farmer can form alliance with is the
Quail, Prairie Chicken, Meadow Lark,
Mocking bird, Night-hawk, and every
other insect-eating bird The purple
Martin is another of our most valuable
friends. The destruction of one OF
these birds is the burning in the stove
of a ten dollar bill. The everlas ting
preservation of the feathered tribe is
the addition of hundreds of dollars
every year to the financial account.
. Children must be taught this great les
son OF self defense, and future pros
perity, because it is an immaculate
truth that TO Danish the birds is to
Danish the human race from the face
of the earth. So thoroughly sure Of
the truth of this statement is the
legislature of this, and every othel
state in our federal union that the xii
ling of a single insectivorous bird /:
punishable by fine of not less thai
twenty-five dollars and possibly i'm
prisonment besides. Parents see to /
that the ''bean shooter" and all othe7
means of little life destruction ar,
banished, and that love for our goo
friends, the birds, will take the pIac
of desire to kill.

c. w. Miller for State Senator.

We are glad to see Mr.. Miller of
Hays, get into the road for State Sen
ator. While we were not personally
acquainted with Mr. Miller, we heard
him we'll spoken of everywhere and
that he bears a splendid reputation,
has q clean record and is a real Repub-
Gcan. He is in with the class of men
that do things all over the district, and
we believe that he will be a successful
candidate in 1916. We had the plea
sure of meeting Mr. Miller at HAYS.
last week, and we find he stands high
among his own people. That's a good
sign that he Is a Wide-aWake citizen
and one of whom Ellis county feels
proud. The Republicans viii make n
mistake in nominating him. He is alb
" qualified and has the ear marks of
honor and reliability We feel that
when he goes to the State Senate, we
could go to Topeka and put our feet on
his desk. No frills but q plain ordi-
nary honest man to whom any farmer
or business man can tie with pleasure.
Beaver Valley Booster, Decatur Co.
On the 18th day of Nav 1916, c. W.
Miller filed his nomination papers and
will have virtually no opposition for
the Republican Nomination for Sen
ator in the 39th District. Mr. Miller
has been a resident of Ellis County for
over thirty years and is thoroughly in
touch with all the wants and needs of
Western Kansas. Being an owner of
farms, make his interests Identical
with those Of the Farmers Of the 39th
District. In the past thirty years he
has seen the prairies of Western Kan
sas, improved, bought and paid for by
the blood of the bravest men, and the
purest and noblest women that the
world ever knew. The Free Press
hopes that the Republicans viii give
Mr. Miller their hearty support. His
record as a Republican is above ques-
ton. He at once becomes a formidable
candidate and has shown that he has
the backing to make him the strongest
man in the district for State Senator.
His long service in the Republican par
" entities him to its individual sup
port. Mr.. Miller stands for the two
great issues of the day, Woman Suf-
frage, Preparedness and the highest
ideals of American Citizenship,

The Hessian Fly.

Meetings were held in wheat fields
and school houses at ten places in Ellis
county during the past week in order
to plan general attack against the
Hessian fly for another year. These
meetings were addressed by Mr.. T. H.
Parks of the K. S. A. c., Manhattan,
Mr.. W. A. Boys of Hays, and members
of the Hays Station staff.
118 farmers attended and were made
acquainted with the life history of the
Fly and the best methods to use in or
der to prevent serious injury another
year.
The Hessian Fly is now making its
work felt in the wheat and in this
county many straws are already falling
down under the attack of this insect.
The following is brief account of
the life history of the Hessian Fly:
Winter is passed in the ''faxseed"
or pupa stage. The adult flies emerge
from these ''fIaxseed'' in April. From
100 to 300 eggs are LAID Dy eacn 1e-
male in April. The eggs are laid on
the leaves and hatch in about three
days The maggots feed during April
and May. They injure the stems near
the ground, causing lodging of straws
during June The "iaxseeds" are
present on the stubble during the sum-
mer and until September. Flies
emerge In September and lay eggs on
the plants of the volunteers and early
sown wheat. Maggots injure this
wheat during the fall. Changes to
s'haxseed'' before winter Many of
these infested plants winter kill -
The following remedy viii effectively
control the Hessian fly next year if
generally followed in the county:
Better preparation of seed bed
This is accomplished by an early plow-
! ing to depth of four inches or more.
2.-Destruction Of volunteer wheat
between July and October.
3,-SoWing no wheat before October
1, 1916. The best success viii depend
