SATURDAY. Afternoon Club

Under the leadership of Elizabeth
J. Agnew, a most interesting program
on thrift was presented at the last
meeting of the Saturday Afternoon
Club.
Mr.. Middow, of Kansas City, Mo-,
Director of the Government Savings
Organization of the Tenth Federal
Reserve, gave an interesting and fas-
cinating lecture on Thrift" He
featured the point that economy on
one thing only to spend the saving
extravagantly on another, is not
thrift He also made the startling
statement that out of One Hundred
men that are self-supporting at the
age of twenty-five, that forty years
later fifty-four are either in the
poor-house or dependent on others
for support; thirty-six are dead; six
are working; three are well-to-do and
one is rich. He made an appeal to US
as American citizens to split up the
time given to football practice and
give at least half of it to the teach
ing of Thrift in our public schools.
Mrs. Reed then gave convincing
talk on her work as County Nurse
during the past year. She also made
some startling statements about
the general health of our children in
our schools and made an appeal on
behalf of the Red Cross to US to gen
erously support this wrok for the
coming year. The unusual discus
sion showed everyone to be vitality
interested.
Light refreshments were served
and a too liberal indulgence in the
"Witch's brew" was encouraged The
Club will meet Saturday, November
13, at the home of Mrs. E. M. Speer,
when the regular program will be
interested.

Just twenty-five years ago today
Thursday young man arrived
from Hartford, Connecticut, and
stopped q few days in Hays. C. W.
Miller, who was then agent for Union
Pacific lands, solicited the young man
to purchase some land and the young
man answered by saying, ''When !
take a notion to purchase Western
Kansas land, will write you" Mon
day of this week, C. W. received q
letter from the man, who is now con-
J siderably older, reminding him of the
conversation of twenty-five years ago
saying that he was now in the market
| for Western Kansas land, and wanted
to know the price of land now. Twen-
] ty-five years ago land in Ellis county
could have been bought almost at
your own figures but land now is
worth from $4,000 to 500. per acre,
and some choice pieces near Hays
have sold for more than 500. per
acre and are considered bargain at
that figure.

MRS. o. A. GAcER

Mrs. Orcelia A. eager was born in
Philadelphia, Pa, April End, 1910.
At the age of years the family
moved to Camden, Ohio, where she
grew up to young womanhood and
was married November 10th, 1860,
were~born in their home, one dying
in infancy, and a son, Charles l..
now residing at Russell, and daugh-
ter, Mrs. Laura Stout, residing at
Topeka, Kansas. Other descendants
from the family are ten grand chill
dren and one great grandchild.
Mr.. and Mrs. Steven eager came
to Hays, Kansas, in the year 1879
and seventeen years later in 1896,
Mr.. eager died and Mrs. eager con-
tinued her residence in Hays until
eight years ago when she went to the
Masonic Home at Wichita, Kansas.
She lived the allotted time of four
score years and had passed seven
months beyond that when God called
her to "the rest that remains for his
people," Until the last year or so
she had been well preserved phys
ically and mentally, which called
forth great gratitude.
When the family came to Hays in
1879 the Presbyterian church was
organized and she became charter
member of that church. She became
also a member of the Eastern Star,
and the two organizations honored
her memory in the burial service
which was held Monday afternoon,
November 9Th, at the Presbyterian
church. The Eastern Star contrib
uted a beautiful floral design, at
tended the service in body, and the
pastor of the church, Rev. Gerrit
Snyder, preached an appropriate ser
mon.
Mrs. eager lived a consistent
Christian life and her hope for an
endless life became brighter as her
earthly life drew to its close. Her
last conscious utterance was 81 see
the sunrise For her it was the dawn
of an eternal day.
"Her sun set as sets the morning star
Which goes not down behind the
darkened west
But melts in the eternal light of
heaven"

the first they had ever had. 1t was
before the days of steel mills and tow
ers, and the windmill was made of
wood. A couple of mechanics were
about the place for several days build
ing the tower and putting up the mill,
and to a farm boy it was bright
spot in an otherwise monotonous ex-
istence. During the day thought of
little else, and 1 dreamed Of little else
at night. I slept alone in room in
which there was a sewing machine
with a boxlike top.
At that time i frequently walked in
my sleep, and one night l woke to
find myself at great height. 1t was
unpleasantly cold, for I had on hardly
any clothes, and I knew that was
up on the windmill. I felt about in
almost every direction for the tower
of the mill, to avoid falling off, but
I was unable to locate it, and I had to
sit very still with nothing to hold on
to.

entirely, when / found myself sitting
On top of the sewing machine. In the
morning / told no one of my adventure
