A Community memorial service

Kansas, Sunday afternoon at three
o'clock, for Dewey Albert Baughman,
who was killed in France. Mrs. Baugh-
man was Grace Hager and lived in

A letter from Miss Ella Hoxie
states that she is closing a campaign
of the state of South Dakota, after
which she expects to be in Chicago
for a while. She wrote that Chat
Picken is now a captain and is an in
structor in the Officers Training
School, Camp Grant, Illinois.
We hope that those of our sub
scribers who have not responded will
call and pay up, as we will have to
make a report to the government.
Subscribers who have not paid up by
1, 1913 must be stricken
from the list. That is the "fat" sent
out from Washington, D. c., and the
newspapers have no alternative than
to obey.
Miles Mulroy, democratic candi-
date for representative, who has been
helping a relative in his fall planting
near McCracken, came in Tuesday
night to be present at the Golden Belt
Fair. Miles is so sunburned and tan
ned that you would take him for a
genuine, sure enough farmer. If we
were so unfortunate as to be a mos
Hack democrat we should sure vote
for him November fifth on suspicion.
John Nolind, prominent republi-
can politician from Logan county was
here to attend the republican district
Wednesday. He came with
Hays B. White. John is one of the
of Logan county. He lives
IN south Logan on a ranch, where ne
raises cattle, horses, hogs, corn, alf-
alfa, rattlesnakes and horned toads
and occasionally a little hell. How
ever, a republican gathering in Logan
county is not complete without Johns
presence.
A certain man, who lives in Hays,
recently returned the Free Press to
the post Office marked refused. He
owes $2.25 back subscription, and
unless he comes in and settles soon,
we will "tel the world through the
columns of the paper that he is a
Stacker and a fraud. However, this is
not the only instance of men who will
take a paper for number of years
and rather than face the Editor they
viii mark it refused" at the post
Office. Generally such men are all
found slackers and dead beats, hu-
man parasites, who lives by defraUd-
ing the public. Such men are a dis
~race to the community IN which they
live.
The report that there had been
fourteen deaths IN Hays from infuen-
"a is not true. There has been one
death from what is supposed to be
Spanish influenza, and there is quite !
a number sick in the city from the !
same cause, but neither the city |
Normal, movies nor the fair l
have been closed. However, the re-
ports, malisiously or otherwise, that |
have been sent abroad have material |
ly lessened the attendance to the fair. |
Despite the scare the attendance has
been good. The races were excellent |
and the exhibits, taking into consider
alton the shortage of moisture the /
past year, were very good. With all |
the discouragements- and drawbacks, |
the fair, so far has been a success.
Through an oversight we failed to
last week that J. J. Peate and |
wife OF Beverly, Kansas, S. Schless-
niger of Cleveland, Ohio and Mrs.
Josephine Green of Cedro Wooley, |
stopped at the Windsor
Hotel last Saturday night. They were
on their return from the reunion of
the survivors of the Indian fight on
Beecher island in the Arickaree riv-
