You" and CAT Dawning." Miss LeOra
Carney played the accompaniment.
After this the bridal party entered
the room to the strains of the we'd
ding march and preceded by three

Hays BookIet Is Coming Along

=
After reading about the Hays Sou
venir Booklet in the Kansas City Star
and Topeka Capital of Sunday, the
people of Hays will be interested in
some additional facts concerning this
booklet which is now in the final pro-
cesses of publication.
No one who has not been connect
ed with the publishing of a booklet of
this size and character realizes how
much work is attached to it. On
printing alone Miss Eleanor Schueler
must stand before the big press in
the Ellis County News Office and
make 100000 separate impressions,
and at that she is printing four pages
of the booklet at time.
The Hays souvenir booklet is dis
tinctly a Hays product. 1t was
created, designed and is being printed
in the City of Hays. The only out
side work done for it was the engrav-
ing. H. C. Markell furnished the
photographs. Miss Georgina Wooton
did the art work on the inside pages
and Felix Kissing drew the cover
page.
There are SO pictures in the book
let. The first picture is one of Gen
eral Custer and his wife in camp near
Hays, and the last is picture of one
of the garages. There are ,55 separ-
ate write-ups. The Editorial Com
mittee took this list of write-ups to
the members of the financial COM
mittee to see if anything
had been left out and the members
of neither committee were able to
think of anything that should go in
the booklet that had been left out.
The selection of the pictures for this
booklet was made in a combined ses-
sion of the Editorial and Financial
committee and what pictures went
into the booklet had their APPROVAL
and what was left out was left out at
their direction.
The booklet begins with a history
of early Hays and ends with a poem
by Il. L. Kent on the Hays of tomor-
row. C. G. Cochran, C. E. Williams,
W. A. Lewis, H. J. Penney, H w.
Oshant, John S. Bird, H. F. Addison,
H. L. Kent and A. H. SchmoekeI each
contributed a short statement con-
corning what the Hays Of tomorrow
will be. These statements occupy a
page or two in the back part of the
book. The rest of the book is made
up of write-ups of the schools, the
organizations, the homes, the
churches, the Experiment Station, the
hospital, the business of the town,
etc. There is not a single line of ad-
vertising in the entire book.
The cost of the booklet is expected
to come a few cents below the orig
ina1 budget. The paper is an excel
lent quality of book enamel and was
bought four months ago. 1t would be
practically impossible to purchase
this paper now even at a greatly in
creased cost and even four months
ago it was necessary to buy it from
four different paper houses in order
to get enough. This means that when
the booklet is printed, it will be one
of which everyone in Hays may be
justly proud.

let committees are: Editorial Com
mittee, P. Caspar Harvey, chairman;

JEWISH UNIVERSITY MEN OF
GREAT BRITAIN AND HEBREW
UNIVERSITY.

The Annual Conference of the Inter
University Jewish Federation of Great
Britain and Ireland, held ut Orial Col
lege, oxford, has just drawn to u
close. The sessions were attended by
representatives from the all Jewish
University Societies in the country.
A report on the building up of the
Hebrew University Of Jerusalem was
given by Mr.. Maurice Simon, and MI
Maurice l.. Perlzwcig. representatives
of the Education Department of tn"
Zionist Organization. On the motion
of Mr.. d. d. Stanhill supported by Dr.
$. Brodetsky, the Conference unani-
mouslv agreed to undertake the col
lection of books for the University
Library on wide scale, and to hclp
in the building up of the University in
every possible way.
Mr.. Maurice J.. Pcrlzwcig drew at
tention to the fact that as result OF
the anti-semitic restrictions imposed
by the Hungarian authorities the Uni
yersity of Budapest which normally
contained 1000 Jewish students now
did not permit n single Jewish student
to study within its walls. and on his
suggestion it was resolved to unite
with the Young Zionist Organization
in organizing n widespread protest
espocially in Academic circles.

Is YOUR child's candy worth more
than his education? 1t may not be
worth more. but it is costing more.
The American School journal says

schools last year while the tax eX-
perts ut Washington say S050.OOo,OoO
was spent on candy in the same time.

SEVEN JURORS FOR KENYON TRIAL

on the day when she was put to plea over 8 month ago., in modish costume of gray messaline and georgette, with blue hat, black fur neckpiece, gray gloves of elbow length, gray suede pumps and gray silk stockings.
 Out of the list of s5 jurors who were examined, 15 were excused by the court. five were challenged by the state and eight by the defense The defense is en- titled to 25 challenges, and so is the defense
 State Attorney Hull asked each of the jurors if he had any conscientious scru- pies against capital punishment. A Ques- tion that was frequently put also was whether the prosDet tive juror would treat q woman, if accused, in all respects as if she were man. and whether he would hesitate to convict a woman if the penalty were death.
 A possible line Of defense to be adopted in the case was indicated by the questions put to the prospective jurors by counsel for Mrs. Kenyon. They asked each man if he would give the accused the benefit of the doubt and acquit her if it were shown in the trial that there was doubt whether the killing was inter tional or the result of an accident They were also asked if the fact that immoral relations were shown between the man ard the woman whether thls would nave any influence on their decision.
 Attorneys on both sides inquired of the JCrors about their previous knowledge of the case, most of them saying that they had read of it in The Bulletin at the time of the tragedy in June but remembered little of the details by this time. Deputy Sheriff Oscar L. Main had charge of the jurors who had been sum- moned keeping then in the town hall un- | til they were called, one by one, into
 court to. be examined
 When Judge George F. Hinman ad- 1ourned court for the day he warned the 1 seven jurors who had been selected | against obtaining any information aboui the case or discussing it except in the | court or jury room, and he also warned
 the others on the panel to be careful oveI
 night about getting any outside impress.
