Mrs. ROseann Hall.

Mrs. Roseann Hall, the wife of Mr..

Speaking of COmmission-Manage Form
Of Government.

In the Commission-Manage Form of
Government for town the size Of
Hays, there would be three commits
sioners elected at large (that is, each
voter IN the city would vote for each of
the three commissioners instead of
electing by wards as is done under the
Mayor-Councl form)- This would do
away with ward politics and allow the
voters to select the three best qualified
men for the places regardless of which
part of the city they lived in.
The three commissioners would con-
stitute the laW-making body of the
city. Their chief other duty would be
to hire competent manager to man
age the affairs of the city, and to sit in
judgment on the results obtained by
the manager. The commissioners would
have power to dismiss the manager at
will.
This form of government carries with
it the recall which permits the people
to recall commissioner who is not sat
isfaetory to them. The people also
have the power to prevent the carrying
out of ordinances which they believe
undesirable by demanding that the
same be submitted to vote of the peo-
pie.
The duty of the City Manager would
be to have full charge and operating
control of the affairs of the city. He
would appoint the city employees which
are now appointed by the mayor and
council in SO far as he Considered them
essential to the city. He would dis
charge them at any time they failed to
give satisfactory service. He would
manage our Light and Water systems.
He would have charge of city finance;
in that he would make out the financial
budget for the year in advance, provide
the necessary income for the city
through the assessment and tax levy
and then disburse same, all in accord
ance with and subject to the ordinanc-
es of the commissioners.
believe any man who could efficient
ly perform these duties would be well
worth his hire.
In carefully preparing the tax levy,
IN adequately adjusting the pavement
tax, in economically managing the
Light and Water systems, in providing
payment for our bonded Indebtedness
and interest on same, in so handling
these sinking funds that the city would
receive the maxium interest on the
funds being accumulated for paying off

for the city, and make a record for

Roundup

April II has been set aside as the date
of the annual roundup of the Ft. Hays
Experiment Station. The Kansas
State Live Stock Association at its
annual meeting at tHutchinsonlast week
included an announcement of this
roundup in its resolutions and urged
the stockmen of Kansas TO be present
If the weather permits this years
roundup will attract stockmen from a
wide area. The program is already
taking form and promises to be strong
one.
800 head of cattle are being used in
experiments at the Station this year.
The experiments run one hundred days
and the results of each experiment will
be shown right in the yards Each
visitor will be furnished with a COM
plete printed report of the experiment.
Last year between 2500 and 5000
attended the roundup, 1900 being fed
at the noon day luncheon at the Station.
A new and interesting experiment
included in this years tests is that of
feeding Russian Thistle hay IN compar-
ison to alfalfa hay.

A Different Opinion.

To the Free Press:
In the issue of The Free Press, Feb
ruary 20, an article headed Public
Opinion and signed XXX, the state
ment was made that Soldiers from
France are given a two cent mile rate
to their home providing they use it
within twenty-four hours, instead OF
free transportation as it should be-
have been told by a discharged sol
dier that he was given three and half
cents mile to his place of enlistment,
two cents of which paid his fare, the
extra cent and half he was at liberty
to use for the luxuries of travel If he
so chose.
They were to use this transportation
within twenty-feur hours to prevent
congestion of travel and protect the
city near the camp, from loafng by
discharged soldiers.
The $500 referred to In the same art
icle, only a portion of the conscientious
objectors received q sum that large,
was due these men because a military
prisoner held in disciplinary barracks If
not convicted Of criminahty, draws his
pay as though in active service.
The payis $50 month with an allow
ance of SIS month sent the family If
he has one. These men drew nothing
until the Advocate General with his ad-
visory board, passed upon the question
of eriminality. Hence the sum of mon
ey which had accumulated was given
those who were exonerated of offense
when they were discharged from
prison.
The discharge papers given them
are quite different in form from those
given soldiers but may prove In the fu-
ture more honorable than those held by
slackers. A Reader.

Concerning Ralph Burns.

Concerning the death of Ralph Burns,
nephew of Mrs. Aaron Lopp, the fol-
lowing letter, written by Red Cross
Chaplain, has just been received by
Frank Burns, brother of the unfor-
tunate young man:
My Dear Brother have your letter
of inquiry about Corporal Ralph Burns,
Co. I, 18th, Infantry, who was killed in
action in the Argonne battle on Oct. 4
1919.
There could not have been a more
glorious battle field, nor more fitting
day in the whole war for true Amer
lean hero and patriot.
Is that particular part of the Ar
gonne, west of =-Meuse, the Germans
were making their last desperate re-
sistance against the allied advance, for
it was the pivot of their position, and
proceeded their retreat from France
The difficult task of pushing back
some of the strongest German divisions
over the rolling country was assigned
to the first division, A. E. F.
went over the top.
In face of heavy artillery and ma
chine gun fire our boys went resolutely
forward in the mists of early morning
before daylight.
They drove the Germans back inch
by inch and succeeded where other
troops had failed. General Pershing
in general order 2O1, cites the division
for this splendid achievement and says
''The enemy choose TO defend its posi-
ton to the death, and the fighting was
always of the most desperate kind
Throughout the operation the officers
and men Of the division displayed the
highest type Of courage, fortitude, and
self-sacrifcing devotion to duty.
may add that the third battalion of
the 10Th started that morning with &c
officers and 800 men. By evening OF
that fateful day there were but 2 offic-
ers and 24O men left.
There is where Corporal Burns made
the supreme sacrifice for his country
and for human liberty.
1t is a record to be proud of. He was
buried along with many of his conrad
es, and the burial service was conduct
ed by one of the regimental chaplains
His grave was marked with wooden
cross. 1 cannot tell you the sxact
location, but this is all matter of re-
cord in the Graves Registration Service
A.E. F.
If personal effects were found upon
him, they would be forwarded to the
Effects Depot at Baso Section, No, 1,
A. E. F., to be sent later TO mis- reiati-
yes.
Evidently Corporal Burns was wound
ed at scissors, or one of the other
battles and bravely returned to the
front. He was there for the most ter
rible battle in which Americans ever
took part. At such crisis, he passed
gloriously into the larger life.
l know yot will comfort his parents
and remind them that g in short meas
ures, life may perfect be"
May he rest in peace snd may light
perpetual shine upon him.
Very faithfully yours,
Thomas S. Cline.

ten healthy, robust children, number
ten having arrived at the hsur of FIVE
o'clock on Sunday morning. As soon
as Fred discovered that to him a son
was given, he rushed out and MIXED
eighteen cows in fifteen minutes. Only
four OF the cows were Fred's, but IN
the joyful excitement Of the he1r, he
took 40 note of either number or own
Fership. He Just MIXED away and miIk-
ed until there were no more cows TO
milk, and then all the rOosters On the
plantation sang In chorus and crcEed
until the mighty hills were shaken and
Heaven itself sent back a joyful re-
frain. All the beasts and birds south
of the creek thought Messiah ekorus
was in full blast, and roared and laugh
ed in grand accord and resounding ap-
plause. Then the beasts and the birds
whispered re each other something ike
this, There must be a new boy at
Fred's house." xxx
