Civic League Notes.

The union services held in the court
yard lawn the past few Sunday even
ings. have been well attended The
excellent music furnished by the Fort
Hays Normal orchestra was in itself
uplifting and inspiring. The singing
and sermons were good. Many west
ern towns have tried those open air
services and find them a success. \
class is thus reached that scarcely ever
go to any church.
1t is rather remarkable to notice the
effect of music Sunday evening, the
streets were filled with listless loiterers,
crowds of men back from the harvest
field lined the curbings, and were gath
cred in groups and punches on the street
corners. With the first few strains of
music from the orchestra in the Band
Stand they began to move toward the
Court yard. In very short time the
streets were almost cleared.
Many cities in Kansas have an ordi-
nance forbidding the repairing of such
buildings as caught fire on Chestnut
street this week, it would have been
better if it had been totally destroyed.
Everyone who has had an occasion to
get out on the street, and the business
men along the principal street in par
ticular, are surely grateful to those
who are reponsible for the sprinkling
of Chestnut street. The task of hand
ling those heavy hose is by no means
an easy one but it surely did the WORK
of keeping down the dust. We still
have hopes that some means will be
devised to continue this good work.
Every improvement pays a dividend.
Ask Geo. Grass and A. A. Wiesner if
their tefrigerators have not paid fol
themselves not alone in preserving
perishable stuff but in in attracting
customers to purchase, and too, Gus
toners like to trade with the modern
progressive merchant
There are stores everywhere in the
state that continue to keep fruit an6
other eatables exposed to flies and
germ laden dust despite the fact that
Kansas has a law forbidding such.
There is no argument or excuse for the
violation of law, and no one will deny
but that this law is an excellent one
and should be enforced.

LINE WILL BE BUILT THROUGH HAYS.
FORT HAYS NORMAL WILL BE
GREATLY BENEFITED BY COM
PLETIoN OF NORTH AND
SOUTH RAILROAD.
SOUTH RAILROAD.
Expected to be in Use September 1917.
(BY P. CASPAR HARVEY
laws is 10 have a new railroad.

Hays is to have new railroad.
The Anthony and Northern Railroad
which is being now built northward in
Kansas from Pratt, has as its next OBJ
jective, Hays. 1t is now running into
Larned in Pawnee County, and Kinsley
in Edwards County.
A railroad crossing the main and
branch lines of all of the railroads run
ming through central and western Kan
sas will open up a cross Kansas line in
the veryEheart of its best wheat belt.
This will give to central Kansas, Gulf
and Oklahoma connections.
What particularly interests Hays Is
the fact that this new railroad viii open
up a territory for the Fort Hays Kan
sas Normal School which it now has
in spirit, but which it can not actually
get because of the poor railroad con-
nections. This territory comprises
twenty-eight counties. These counties
will be made nearer to the Fort Hays
Kansas Normal School than to any
other State Educational Institution
and nearer to it than many of the de-
neminational colleges. This railroad
will be in operation, according to Pres
ident Byers of the Railroad Company
and President Lewis of the Normal
School, so that students who start in
September 1917, viii have its accommo-
dations.
This railroad now crosses four lines:
Il Il T.
the southern division of the Rock Is
land, the Kinsley branch of the Santa
Fe at Belpre, and the main branch of
the Santa Fe at Larned. When it
reaches Hays in August 1917, it will
cross in addition to these the Scott City
branch of the Santa Fe at Rush Center,
the main line of the Missouri Pacific at
Lacrosse, and the main line of the
Union Pacific at Hays. The next OBJ
jective point after Hays which Pres
ident Byers has in mind, is Hastings,
Nebr., and it will give cross cut to all
of the railroad lines in Kansas north of
Hays.
The active campaign in Ellis county
and Hays is now going forward for the
bonds. Petitions are being circulated
to call an election to vote these bonds.
Big Greek Township will vote on $75,-
600 in bonds; Lookout Township will
vote on either S75, 600 or s78, 600 in
bonds; and the city of Hays will vote
on $50, 900 terminal aid bonds. The
City of Hays can not vote a larger bond
issue because the law does not permit
it. There seems to be no opposition
whatever to the voting of these bonds
and a number of individuals who are
expected to either oppose or be luke
warm toward them, have gotten out
with the petitions to circulate them
themselves
By November 1, 1916, it is stated that
the railroad will have reached the
northern line of Pawnee County. The
policy of President Byers in building
this railroad, has been to ask no bonus
es and to build it as it pays for itself.
