Fred J. Hafamier

1t is always pleasure for the Free
Press to chronicle the success of its
patrons, or citizens of the community.
Fred J. Haffamier who is one of
the oldest members of the young gen
Grafton of Hays, was born in 1877, at
what was then known as Peach Tree
Corner. He attended Hays Public
School and graduated 1895.
He the nasisted his father in the
blacksmithing and plumbing estab-
lishment until about 1904, when he
and DR.. Jordan purchased the Elec-
tri Light and Power Plant, and after
the power plant was purchased by the
city, Fred was made superintendent
of both Water and Power Plants, the
administration of which he has con-
Quoted to the satisfaction of a maj
ority of the patrons.
Of course, a public servant, no mat
ter how well he serves his constitu-
ency, will have enemies and kickers,
and Fred is no exception to the rule,
but no man could, or ever did, please
all the people all the time, and taking
everything into consideration, Fred's
tenue of office has been a decided sue
cess from start to finish, as the long
years of his service is veritable evi-
dence.
About three months ago he decided
to embark in business for himself and
opened a garage on East Second
Street, which he has equipped with
the best machinery that money will
buy. A large power lathe and drill
has been installed with all other ac-
cessories that go to equip an up-tO-
the-minute garage. The building he
occupies is large new brick struc-
ture just completed. Fred is an Al
mechanic and the writer feels GER
tain that he will make good. Here's

The Time Has Come

The time has come to show the
world that we meant what we said
when we boasted two years ago that
We would whip Germany and pay for
the pleaurse of doing 1t.
To keep faith with those stalwart
young Americans we sent over there
to do the whipping part of the job.
To do our part by leading America
enough to pay the costs.
To see that the money is forthcom-
ing to take care of the lads coming
home without legs or arms or eyes.
To let the world know that we
could have carried on this war for
five years longer had it been neees-
sary.
To subscribe to the Victory Liberty
Loan-the time has come.

ors who will be here this Saturday, at
the last moment, have gone back on

Surely the City of Hays can't afford

afford it? We think not.

DESMOND IN COMEDY ROLE.

William Desmond, who stars in
"Life's a Funny Proposition, to be
shown at the Rex tomorrow, has one
OF the most brilliant careers of any
actor in the photo-drama today. AL
though Mr.. Desmond's work for the
screen has been heretofore confined
to the heavier dramatic roles. he is
thoroughly schooled in the lighter
phases Of acting, having had in
valuable training on the legitimate
stage with some Of the most famous
stock organizations in the country.
In "Life's a Funny Proposition" Mr..
Desmond has a part that demands
comedy touches of the highest order.
That he succeeds admirably proves
him to be one Of the most versatile
actors In the silent drama. The role
of Jimmie Pendleton, helor-extra-
ordinary and jolly good fellow, who
finds himself suddenly in possession
OF an infant which he feels in honor
bound to care for in order to protect
the name Of his fiancee's brother,
gives William Desmond a chance to
exploit vein of unctuous humor
