Hunger could not be found.
With a kettle of hot coco,
AS the boys went marching past
With a plate of pork and beans
They would finish up at last
The boys detailed to wash dishes
Would go at it with vim,
But the thing of greatest interest
Was that 1870 swim.

SCHOOL BEGINS SEPTEMBER II
Hays, September 3rd. On account of
fall farm work the Fort Hays Normal
will not open until September II. The
enrolment will be as large if not
larger than ever. For the boys there
will be military training the same as
at all colleges in the United States
For the girls much war service work
has been planned that can only be
done to help win the war by women IN
college. President Wilson's advice
that all young people go to college
will be taken by larger percentage
of Western Kansas boys and girls
than ever and the only state school
in Western Kansas will be ready for
them September 18th.
G. G. Caron was over from Beloit
last Thursday and packed up his
Ladies' Outftter's goods and shipped
them to Osborne where he opened
up another store some time ago.
Caron came to this city about two
years ago and opened up one of the
neatest and up-to-date stores in west
ern Kansas and did a rushing bus
mess until short crops struck US. To
be truthful the kind of a store Caron's
run was not intended for so small a
town as this as it takes 'ssmart
dressers" to keep the business going
One thing we wish to add and that
is Caron is a business man from start
to finish as he knows the value of ad-
vertising and knew how and when to
use it to get results. Mr.. Caron made
many friends during his stay here
who were sorry to see him leave
more especially the newspaper bows
Judd Benson entertained his junior
band of Boy Scouts at picnic in the
Ehoades' grove on the Saline last
Wednesday. The afternoon was spent
in scout maneuvers, playing games
and swimming After eating a boun-
tiful lunch the boys started home,
running out of gasoline about miles
from town. The boys then took a four
mile hike before they were given a
ride on into town. The scouts decided
however that it was only real scout
life and each said he enjoyed the adj
venture immensely.

girls gave a weinie and marshmallow
roast in honor of Miss Lillian wendt
