had started work at once.
When the father, Louis Bookbnder.
a plasterer, came home from work last
night, he asked at once where Katherine
was. Father and daughter were de-
voted to each other and each night,
while the mother prepared supper, the
girl would read the evening paper TO
him.
Disappointed at his daughters alb
sence, the father sat down to wait for
her. Suppertime came, however. and
she did not appear.
Perhaps her hours are longer in the
new place" said the mother.
Maybe" the father agreed. but I
don't feel right. Maybe something hap
pened. There are great crowds in the
streets today
After supper, the mother began a
search for the missing girl First she
made the rounds of the homes of her
daughters friends. When she failed TO
find her, she started for the WINS plant.
Mrs. Bookbinder reached the bakery
at about midnight. She found the place
locked and dark. of course. but she
hunted up the watchman. To him she
confded her fear that the girl might
have been locked in by mistake. The
watchman made search, which soon
showed the girl was not there.
/ Fear clutching her heart. the mother
went back to her home in the hope
/ that the girl might have returned in the
meantime.
/ She found her husband in an extreme
! ly agitated condition. Together, they
went to the station house. There they
received the first clue to the fate ol
the girl. The house sergeant asked
them to describe their daughter. Thcy
did so and the policeman realized al
once that 1t was their child who lay

The Chamber of Deputies has seldom

In cheering each article of the armlstice
terms as they were read by Premier
Clemenceau. AS soon as the Premier
had read a clause, the entire chamber
jumped to It's feet and cheered. Gem
orally, the tumult was so great that the
voice of "the Tiger" was lost in the up
roar, Only once or twice were there
purposeful Interruptions by the Social

After reading the conditions, the Pre-
mer excused himself from making a
lengthy address, but said:

and in the name OF the Government OF
France let us salute Alsace-Lorraine -
There was prolonged cheering, after
which the Premier added feelingly:

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Not the public schools are not
closed, though the report connected
with still wilder rumors has travelled
as far east as Topeka. Get Superin-
tendent Shively to tell you the rapid
fire of information that assailed him
Monday afternoon.
Mrs. L. G. Ward, field secretary of
the southwestern division Of the Jun
ior Red Cross, of st. Louis was in
Hays all day Tuesday in the interest
of that organization She gave a
talk to the high school students at
assembly. After congratulating them
upon the work that they did last year,
she said that the Juniors had three
phases of work to perform; education
al, as making four minute speeches,
disseminating information concern
ing all forms of war activities; war
alleviagtion, such as making oakum
pads, and refugee garments; and war
winning, as the conservation of food
etc; She then suggested this program
for the school year: September, or
Ganization, or reorganization; Octo-
Der, help carry the fourth liberty
loan over the top; November, devise
and carry out some plan for making
money for the organization; Decem-
Der, four minute speech contest; ;
January, health campaign; February,
promote international friendship;
March, clean up month; April, garden
making. These suggestions may be
varied at viii to suit the conditions
of the community and the organiza-
tion.
In the peach and other fruit stones
and nut shell contest the classes, for
the week ending Friday the 9th,
lined up as follows: Seniors 1858
pounds; Juniors 26Z; Sophomores
% 4 Freshmen 14S. According to
the figures the banner went to the
Sophomores Monday.
The school board granted a vaca-
tion of three afternoons this week
so that the pupils might go to the
fair or make themselves useful IN
whatever way their parents might
direct.

many people to our city for two days
and all seemed to be surprised that
Hays could make such fine progress
In improvements. The delegates visit
ed the Experiment Station and the
Normal and were most favorably i'm
pressed with the spirit of public en-
terprise everywhere manifested.
Luray carried off the honors of
having the best delegation consider
ing the distance travelled and received
as a reward a set of new books on
Sunday School work. Russell, Wilson,
Ellis and McCracken had large dele
cations. The general rain of Monday
night prevented many from coming
who had planned on coming long dis
tances by automobiles.
The speakers were all strong men
and presented church and Sunday
School work from many angles and
gave the delegates a program and
suggestions which if needed cannot
but make the workers more efficient
and strengthen the church for the
new day of the worlds reconstruction.
The cause of missions and world
democracy was stressed over and over
again by different speakers. Truly the
church is getting ready for the great
opportunity that is coming.
