Experiment Station Note.

The Station management wishes
to express appreciation to the people
of Hays for their help in making the

lunched as guests of the Station that
day. Free auto service by members
of the Chamber of Comemrce added
TO the promptness of handling the
crowds. Thanks are also due to Mr..
Kirkman for use of the Strand Thea
tire IN the forenoon, and to President
Lewis of the Normal School fo1
opening Sheridan Coliseum to the b-e
afternoon meeting.
