Letting Newspapers -starxe

The local newspaper is always
pleading for the support of the home
merchant and yet many of them are
slowly starving to death.
A western country paper has just
died where father and sons and wife
lived on starvation incomes for forty
years before giving up.
The business man and the banker
appreciate the home paper that fights
radicalism in all its forms in cam
paign and then forget it.
The office seekers are inclined to
throw something to the newspaper
when campaign is on and they want
the support of the voter.
But once in office and the country
editor is rapidly forgotten and he gets
off well if laws are not enacted to put
him out of business.
Better support of the home paper
would be the greatest wisdom in view
of the time coming when nere will be
a mighty struggle to overthrow Amer
lean institutions.

After several weeks sickness the
end came to Jasper Levi Tillotson on
Friday, January 28th, 1921. Born
at Bloomfield, Iowa, in May, 1854, he
was nearly fifty-seven years old. Mr..
Tillotson had been suffering for a
long time from dropsy, but had been
confined to his bed for only a few
weeks.
In 1889 Mr.. Tillotson married Miss
Eta Feager, and TO them were born
five children: Gay, Glenn, Claude,
Edna and Bessie, four of whom sur
vive him. In addition a brother, W.
H. Tillotson of Oklahoma, and two
sisters, Mrs. Zetta Owens of Hanni-
bal, Mo-, and Mrs. Alma Woods of
Des Moines, Iowa, survive him. Be
cause of sickness in the family the
sisters were not able to come to Hays.
Funeral services were held in the
Methodist church, Sunday afternoon,
the Rev. G. A. Baldwin in charge. The
1. o. o. F. conducted their service for
the burial of the dead both at the
church and cemetery
Mrs Tillotson is meeting a double
bereavement in the death of her
father, Harrison Feager, of Bloom
field, Iowa, at the advanced age of
eighty-six. His death occurred only
four days after that of Mr.. Tillotson,

A Growing Business

It is not generally known in Hays
although it is pretty well advertised
over the state, that Dr. Pruitt is
manufacturing Stock and Poultry
Remedies in Hays and is doing a large
business. He sometimes ships in car
loads of material which after being
manufactured is sold to surrounding
dealers in large quantities, some
times as much as a carload at a time.
The doctor is a quiet man and but
few know the extent of his business
but it is assuming proportions that
will soon necsssitate a larger and
more pretentious building than the
red barn on South Chestnut street.
L has been reported that DR.. Pruitt
is thinking of moving to some other
city with his manufacturing business
ard If the Hays Chamber of Com
merce will offer some inducement for
this growing business TO remain in the
city he might be induced to stay with
US.

THE TREAT PLAYGROUND

1t is matter of regret and not at
all to our credit that this valuable
gift to our city should have fallen
into condition of neglect.
The city is justified in its pride in
its growth, wealth and attractions as
a place Of residence, and as an edu-
cational center but it should humble
our pride somewhat that it is the
beneficiary of good forune in being
directly tributary to the largest Ex-
pertinent Station in this country out
of which has grown our splendid Nor
NAL College, and is the recipient also
of a free gift from our@late honored
citizen, Mr.. NJ J. r. Treat.
Our public spirited citizens would
deeply regret that the impression
should go abroad that we are in any
wise neglectful of these advantages.
Let US at once waive aside the no
tions of the pessimist that the Treat
Playground is not in the direction of
the growth of the city; that the chill
dren ignore it that may be our fault.
We can be certain of this, that any
city in Kansas or elsewhere would
highly prize such a gift, and would
earnestly set about to make it as at
tractive as possible to the children
and to the citizens generally.
well" the pessimist will answer,
''we did just that and and what?
failed; because we didn't follow it up
with the energy and persistence of
Hays in other enterprises.
Now, this ground can be made an
ornament to the city at slight fin
ancial outlay, ana, as the advertise
ment says, let US "Do it now;" or,
as they say in Kansas City, "Get it
donep How? Clean up the weeds
and trash with hay rake; plow the
ground and SOW it to blue grass; and
at an east and north entrance, on
either side, plant 'tplume" ever
green, which, when at height of ff-
teen or twenty feet, can be drawn to-
gether at the tops, and, as the trees
grow, they will interlace and form 9
perfect evergreen arch. This ever
green is extensively used in Cali
fornia in park grounds for that pur-
pose.
This Playground has fertile soil
and few sure-growth trees might be
set out to one side to which the chill
dren could resort for shade in the
heat of summer.
Once made attractive the children
will gladly resort to this ground.
