A distressing and shocking affair
occurred on the Main Street of Hays,
Monday night of this week, When
Fred Richardson, an insurance agent
who has been operating in this vicin-
ity for several months was deliberate
ly and ruthlessly shot to death. The
time was, in the early days, when
Hays was a border town, everyman
carried a revoler and was law unto
himself, the occurance above stated
would hardly have caused a ripple
in the tide of human affairs, but in
these latter days of reason. decency
and law abiding citizenship, the affair
caused considerable wonder and ex-
element There seemed to be q
woman in this case" Or rather two
of them, one of them doing the shoot
ing. Richardson was taken to the
hospital where everything that medi-
cal science could do was done fo1
him, but to no avail. He died Wed
nesday afternoon, about two O'Clock
and his remains were shipped to hi:
mother, who lives in Heoern, Neb.

CnunciINMeetinr-

At a meeting of the city council
Thursday night, the matter of lower
ing the sewer on Chestnut Street,
from the Court House to the inter
section of the Main, just below
Penney's barn was discussed The
paving question was, also taken up.
There will be a special meeting of the
council next Monday night, when
in all probability an engineer will be
employed to lower the sewer and al
so establish the grades for paving.
A competent out-of-town engineer
will be selected.
The paving question has been
talked of for several years and now
as soon is to be fact we hope that
all assistance possible be given the
councilmen IN this matter. 1t is q
big undertaking and let the council
do the job in the best possible way.

some people you know never get
tired of kicking whether they are

In the opinion Of the writer the
only way that anything can be ac-

ahead and do the work to the best OF
its ability and to the best interest
of the city and let the kickers kick
and be-dashed. They will kick
any how.

Sudden Death os Clyde Moore.


It was a shock to his relatives and
friends on Tuesday, that Clyde
Moore, who, while having an anes-
thetic administered by one of our
best doctors, prepatory TO undergo
ing an operation for a throat ab-
cess, suddenly expired before he had
been on the operating table more
than a few seconds. The doctor in
charge had tested his heart and
found it in seemingly healthy condi-
ton, and the sad consequences were
hard to realize and hard to bear, but
in the annals of surgery these things
are bound to happen some times
with no one IN the least to blame
Clyde was the son of Theron Moore
He was about twenty-five years Of
age-born on August 29, 1894, a
good moral young man, who had
many friends hereabout. He was
married about six months ago to
Miss Maggie Kutina, and their home
was on a farm about fourteen miles
southwest of Hays. The funeral was
held at the Methodist church on
Thursday morning, at eleven o'clock.
The sermon delivered by Rev. A s.
Hale, (Clyde's pastor at the Good
Hope Charge) was comforting and
helpful, and a quartet composed of
Messrs Wood and Mcknight, Mes
danes Brummett and Covalt with
Mrs. Wood at the piano, provided

featuring cost without cutting the quail
lily.
But in modern times way has been
found to cut selling cost-and its name
is Advertising.
Advertising is like straight line:
the shortest distance between two
points-the producer and the consunp
er. 1t cuts out the grades. curves and
the angles. 1t makes drop of ink do
the work of salesman. Bear in
mind that goods can never be sold I'M
less there is demand and advertising
creates this demand in the simplest,
most direct and least expensive way.
No other sales method can equal it in
magnitude Of return for minimum OF
cost.
And the big returns from advertis-
ing also cut down the manufacturing
cost-that's another saving. 1ncreas-
ed volume Of production always means
a decrease in the unit cost of produc.
ton through better and more efficient
manufacturing methods.
The Association of National Adver-
Users has recently been gathering
some facts and figures on this subject,
They show how one after another or
the big advertisers of the country have
been able to reduce the price OF their
product or else to improve the quality
at no increase in price. 1t is sig
nificant fact that nationally advertised
goods are the only products which, as
a class, have not tended to rise In price
during the past few years.
Countless causes are working today
to force prices up. We all know this
bv sad experience. Against all these
forces one force only is working to
Keep prices down-and its name is Adj
vertising.

At Fort Madison this morning,
Judge Bank denied the writ of habeas

upon an affidavit Of the girl that her
testimony at the trial was false and
that she had sworn falsely because
she was threatened with sentence in

torney claimed that as the testimony
upon which he was conviced was CIV

that the judgment and sentence was
therefore void. Judge Bank held that,
as the Judgment on its face was regu-

suggested that the relief sought
should be by appeal to the governor
who could exercise the pardoning pow
