To the Patrons of the Hays Light
Plant:

The fuel situation throughout the
country is extremely serious and it
behooves US to make immediate pre-
parations to meet it. So am appeal
ing to all light plant patrons especially
motor users TO cooperate with me to
cope with the situation
At the present time the peak load
comes on at the power house between
the hours of 80 and 7:3O p. m. This
load is about 2O9o more than one
boiler can handle, making 1t necessary
to run additional boiler for about 4
hours, which means the approximate
consumption of $50 gallons of fuel
oil. Now, if all current users viii
, lend their effort to conserve on cur
rent between these hours, the load can
be kept down to where one boiler can
handle it and little conservation at
this time may avert much more ser
ious conditions later on.
We are well supplied with fuel at
the present time and could go along
very AACCAy 4OA OO 0dgS 64NAAOAL
but as there is no way of foretelling
how long this fuel strike should last,
it is well that we start conserving at
once, for while the coal miners strike
does not directly effect the fuel oil
business at this time, it viii effect
transportation and through the Grip
plinp of TRANSFORMATION make very
serious delays in the transportation of
fuel oil.
Numerous surrounding cities have
already felt the fuel shortage, some
very seriously and feel with a little
cooperation of all patrons at the pres
ent, viii prevent US from being great
ly inconvenienced during the winter.

Important Notice

People of Ellis County, who were
injured and relatives of those who
died as a result of the explosion last
Monday. should take warning and not
sign contracts with strangers. They
may later regret it seriously when
they find they have hastily signed
away their claim for injuries and loss
of property received in the disaster
of last Monday. 1t might be well for
people concerned to consult County
or City officials before signing con-
tracts or papers of any description.

things to help US in our great bereave-
ment.-Louis E. Miller and relatives.

The High School With DR.. Eklund


One of the greatest sermons Hays
audience has been privileged to listen
to, was delivered Wednesday evening,
by DR.. Eklund, to the young people
1t was ''High School, evening and the
opera house was decorated with their
colors. Probably seventy-fve MEM
bers of the school were present and a
goodly number of Normal students.
Each school gave one of their rousing
yells.
Preceding the sermon, an especially
beautiful violin duet was rendered by
Mrs. Malloy and Miss Eyler.
DR.. Eklund stated that his text
would not be light one because high
school people think He chose
Hebrew 1913, "Let US therefore go
forth unto him without the camp,
bearing his reproach." He said in
part that when Jesus came 1000 years
ago, the Jews were willing to accept
him as a young prophet but not as a
king. He came not with the pomp
king, but came as the 1owly Nazarine.
Forty days he spent in the wilderness
and there chose his Gethsemane. Two
roads lay open to him as to you and
me. He would not use his miraculous
power for selfish gain or plaudits of
the people. He could have worship
ped the evil one and swung himself
onto the throne of the Ceasers but his
choice was to suffer without the camp
and bear the reproach of his own peo-
pie an dof the world. If you choose
selishly the camp applauds, if TO fol-
low Jesus you viii have to suffer;
! travel the road that leads to the cross.
/ The Jews wanted king but not the
one God sent them. They wanted
bread and the glory of kingdom, but
of their own choosing. The cleavage
between God an dthe camp is just as
deep and far today as in the time of
Jesus. Young people, what think ye
of Jesus?
Mankind will never have bread and
Ipeace until we accept the King and
bear the reproach outside the camp.
The great men of earth have taken
up the reproach of Jesus without the
camp. What program have you for
your life? The church of Jesus
Christ was never meant for an amuse-
ment parIor. Jesus Christ does not
invite you to an easy life. The world
is being swept off its feet by smoking.
dancing and amusements. He wants

They may call you narrow. Do you
want to be broad and shallow? The
love of Jesus takes in the whole
world. 1 do not say those who smoke

them in each of these?
