The Baeealaureate Address

1t was profitable and a great pleas
ure to hear DR.. Frank Strong of the
University of Kansas, His frank,
open manner wins the close atten-
tiOn of his audience. Sincerity is one
of his marked characteristics. He is
free of the buncombe of the alleged
orator. He says, "I am orthodox; a
deacon in the Baptist church," but
there is ''meat" in what he says, so
at variance with the speaker who has
done some brief stunts across the
water, and who never omits to say
to the pews. eff you had been with me
in my glObe-trotting, you would know
as much as 1 do"
To hear Dr. Strong after a brief
spectacular extravaganza was like
cup of cold water to a man dying of
thirst; moreover, in these days of un-
rest, unbelief and uncertainty, when
so many of our seats of learning are
tainted by bolshevik departures from
the straight and narrow way, it is re-
freshing to see DR.. Strong open the
New Testament and lay the founda-
tion of an able address upon the
teachings of Christ and the great
apostle to the Gentiles-teachings in
deed, which will never grow old nor
pass away.

Three special cars left over the
Union Pacific for Hays, early Thurs
day morning, carrying the Shriners
to the big all-day meeting at that
place, Thursday The delegations
came into Colby on several trains,
Wednesday evening, and the larger
the crowd the more the merriment.
When Norton and Phillipsburg ar

there was indeed a Hot Time in the

about town with the band playing,
colors flying. Eleven novices went
from Colby to make the arduous jour

WARREN P. KITE KILLED

Hays people will remember the
Aviator who came here from Larned
with his girl, in his airplane, landed
on the Experiment Station, rushed to
the Probate Judges Office and then
to the Presbyterian church where
they were married. The Topeka
Capital of Tuesday has the following:
Warren P. Kite, air pilot, was in
stantly killed at Grand Island, Neb.,
May 18th, when before his wife and
several thousand spectators, he was
forced to leap from his plane at
height of 800 feet. He had been per-
forming aerial stunts with Pilot ]. H.
Smith for several minutes when the
two planes suddenly crashed. Smiths
propeller cut the tail of Kites
machine off just back of the pilots
seat. Kite rose in his seat, poised
himself for an instant and leaped.
Every bone in his body was broken.
Smith was uninjured.
Lieutenant Kite was the first
dNldIOI III Ii4S SCGIAO4l VI IAlC OAA
States to conduct an airplane elope-
ment A few days after he gave a
series of flying exhibitions in Larned,
Kansas, two years ago, he returned
to that city, and eloped in Kites
plane to Hays where they were mar
ried.
"Their honeymoon trip, taken in
the airplane to Springfield, Mo-,
where Kite was to give another series
of exhibition flights, brought the
young couple TO Topeka. They visit
ed here several days.
''Since his marriage Lieutenant
Kite has been giving exhibition
flights throughout the West, but
mostly in Kansas, Missouri and
Nebraska. His parents live at Spring

Foreign Students Visit Haxs

Professor w. E. Grimes, head of
the Department of Agricultural Eco
nOmics, and Professor R. I. Throck-
morton of the Agronomy department
of the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege and fifteen members of their
classes visited the Fort Hays Expert
nnent Station and vicinity Saturday,
May IA.
Saturday morning an auto truck
was secured and the members of the
party taken on a fifty-mile trip south
of Hays. The trip included visit TO
the Wann pasture which is rented by
the station. During the afternoon
the party were taken over the station
and the Dry Land Agriculture, For
age and Cereal Projects and the ex-
perimental work explained to the Wis
itors by the respective project lead
esr
Only six of the fifteen visiting stu
dents were native Kansas BOYS. the
remaining students beig from other
states or from foreign countries, who
particularly made the trip to study
methods of farming and experimental
work under dry land conditions.
The four students from foreign
countries were: Mr.. NJ. Kamal and
L. B. Solomon from Cairo, Egypt;
Mr.. G. Stahl from Cape Town, South
Africa, and Mr.. Foley Kiang from
Shanghai, China.
Mr.. Kamal has been in this coun-
try only thirty days, having come
direct from Egypt where he is inter
ested in agricultural problems. Mr..
Solomon was sent to America by the
Bureau Of Entomology of the Minis
try of Agriculture, Cairo. Egypt, and
will remain in this country for several
years. Both of these gentlemen
spoke perfect English and made the
statement that it is not uncommon for
native of their country to speak
four or five different languages.
Mr.. Stahl is working for a Masters
Degree at the Kansas State Agri-
cultural College and will graduate in
June. He expects to return to Africa
Immediately after graduation.
Mr.. Kiang will graduate from the
college this year and upon his return
to China expects to take up expert
mental work for his government and
to help in developing agriculture. Mr..
Kiang said that there were large
areas of China even more favorably
located than Kansas where agricul-
ture is on a very low standard. Mr.
Kaing was very much interested in
experimental work and asked many
questions concerning details.
The party returned to Manhattan,
Sunday morning.

majesty demonstrated in short order
that it would take ten loaves of bread

SHRINERS HAD A BIG TINE
A RED LETTER DAY FOR HAYS
The Event Was Complete Success
from Start to Finish


1t tells the story very tersely. 1t
was red letter day for Hays when
the ''Ptay Ground of Masonry" was
here. A queer aggregation of men.
They belonged to every vocation and
calling in life and from nearly every
state in the Union. They came for
a good time and they had it. To
make this good time for our visitors
took much time and thought to plan
and lots of muscular exertion to
execute.
How were so many people fed? At
the barbecue the entire crowd was
served in thirty-f1ve minutes. At the
banquet it took only a few minutes
more. It shows that we have good
system, and the best place in the
statae to take care of big crowds.
All the "Red Caps" became boost
ers for Hays and it's people. "And we
are coming back next year" was
heard on every hand as the "cere-
monials" came to close in the Coli
scum.
The credit for the success of Shrine
Day belongs to so many men and wo-
men that to enumerate them would
be very difficult. We are inclined to
say the credit belongs to all who
worked for the success of the day. 1t
was the combined effort and energy
of everybody that has given US the
three thousand boosters.
The Salina Union says:
At 4:3O O'Clock this morning, sew
e1al hundred tired, though happy
Shriners, reached Salina on their re-
turn from. the big event at Hays. 1t
was a day crowded with entertain
ment, they say, and they will long re-
member it.
The entire event was great sue
cess. Over 2,7Oo Shriners attended
and a class of 472 novices was ini-
tiated. The ceremonies of initiation
took place in Sheridan Coliseum.
Bands were present from Clay
Center, Norton, Phillipsburg, Hois-
ington, WaKeeney and Salina. There
was a big parade, a barbecue, open
air vaudeville, band concerts all
day and a banquet at which the 27OO
sat down.
Isis, the bear belonging to the
temple, was taken along, and was
disposed of at Hays. He brought in
a sum estimated at above $4,000. The
purchaser donated him back to the
temple, but he will be left at Hays
for a few days. The Idaho man who
originally sold the bear to the Salina
Shriners, was present at the event.
The Salina Special left Hays at 1
o'clock this morning.

The Shriner Banquet served to two
thousand four hundred men at six
O'Clock Thursday evening, May 12,
was the biggest event of its kind ever
put over by the Fort Hays Kansas
Normal School.
The Domestic Science Department
under the efficient management of
Miss LoRee Cave, had full charge of
preparing and serving the two-course
dinner. However, there was not suf-
ficient oven and baking room on the
Campus. The turkeys were roasted
elsewhere, and WaKeeney sent in fif-
teen thousand rolls for the barbecue
and banquet together
About one thousand Shriners were
seated in the Coliseum. The rest of
the crowd was seated in the Woman's
Building and on the three floors of
the Industrial Building. The entire
crowd was seated and fed in forty
minutes. The manager of the Shriner
Program said it was the quickest ser
vice that had ever been accomplished
in Kansas. It took just fifty-fve min
utes from the time the men began
entering the Coliseum until the arena
was cleared of all dishes and tables
and the floor swept so that the build
ing could be used for the initiation
processes of the lodge.
A force of about five hundred wait
ers and kitchen people were required
to accomplish this feat. Practically
every student in school helped. Most
of the faculty men spent the entire
day carving turkey and ham. The
faculty women and town women help
ed take charge of the kitchens. Ellis
contributed seventy-ive walters.
For the afternoon service Mrs.
Lewis had charge of the Coliseum
kitchen; Mrs. Bartell arranged the
dining room. In the Woman's Build
ing Miss Gabrielson was IN command
of the kitchen, and Miss Ellis man
aged the dining room. On the third
floor of the Industrial Building Miss
hODGTIS Idu CLdISC VI G4iC hAS~iiS-A
and Maurine Speer supervised the
dining room. On the second floor
there were two kitchens managed by
Miss Prue Morgan and Mrs. Wright;
Selma Thorene supervised the dining
room. The High School Students
practically took charge of the serving
on this floor.
On the regular Cafeteria floor Mrs.
Kellogg had charge of the kitchen
and Miss Bice of the dining room.
William Flynn was in charge of all
supplies. Lee Corder constructed the
tables using enough lumber, as one
lumberman expressed it, to start
young lumber yard. One hardware
man furnished six-hundred dollars
worth of hardware.
Over a ton of turkey was prepared,
besides seventy-six hams. Twenty
eight bushels of potatoes were cooked,
and six hundred heads of lettuce were
used for salad. One hundred eighty
gallons of coffee were made, and
forty-fve gallons of gravy. One bar
rel of pickles was used.
Everything went of well, but Miss
Cave says the whole thing was ac-
conplished only by the hearty CO.
