GOLDEN BELT SIGNS GONE

ing:
"On account of Oakley giving
Goodland the worst of it by routing
tourists westward from Oakley over
the Union Pacific Highway, it has
been proposed to cut Oakley off the
route and run the road northward TO
Hoxie from Grainfeld, but it seems
now that the movement to destroy the
Golden Belt Highway extends farther
east than Oakley. Here is what the
Hays Free Press said a few weeks
ago.
''The passing of the Golden Belt
Highway that has so many years
been a reminder to the people of the
golden wheat belt through which it
passed, is a near tragedy. 1t is from
now on to he called the Union Pacific
Highway. The painting out of the
Golden Belt and replacing it with a
white belt was finished last week, and
the last act in the tragedy was ac-
complished Wednesday when the
letters, u. P. H. were added to the
white belt. Why the change is a real
mystery>to a great many. The Gold
en- Belt Highway answered all pur-
poses and was entirely satisfactory.
"And here is what the Winona
News said the next week, all of which
indicates that extreme measures are
being taken to divert travel from the
Goodland route. The officials of the
Golden Belt should look into the mat
ter. We were surprised to learn
that the Golden Belt signs were to be
painted out, but it was practically
inevitable. No one can run counter
to the great laws of the universe and
get away with it. In this day, when
even with the best possible service
ground transportation is being forced
to compete against air transportation /,
transcontinental routes must be the
shortest and best possible, accom-
panied with every means to make
travel over such routes pleasant, safe
and easy. Nature made the route
first taken by the Union Pacific rail
way between the River and Den
Yer, following the Kansas and Smoky
Hill rivers, the shortest, best route
and no advertising or markings car
make any other route equal it in al
advantages. The Union Pacific High
way follows this natural route, anC
= with the correction of a few unneces-
sary curves and turns, is the shortes
easiest route from Kansas City, Mo.
to Denver, Colo. The Union Pacific
Highway will always be THE route
between these points"
The Ellis County engineer has beer
ordered to repaint the Golden Belts
but up to the present time has faileC
to comply. Why?

Let's Clean Up and Paint Up Our
Town


''Let All Things be Done Decently
and in Order" is a Scriptural admoni-
ton from the Holy Writ which is just
and vital when applied to material
things.
Where there is filth there is nearly
always disease. Disorder is accomp-
anied by waste, danger and decay.
Dirt an ddisorder are the greatest
enemies to public decency, health and
safety.
A few clean and orderly homes in a
select residence district can never
safeguard the entire community. A
single filthy home, dirty back yard,
or stagnant pool may easily become
the source of an epidemic of fatal
diseases that will sweep the city. A
trash pile in some alley may start a
general cenfagration.
There are millions of women who
smile with pride when visitors praise
their housekeeping. Our city is but
our common home; why should not
we, as a city, do what each one of
these housekeepers is doing every day
in her home? Why not determine to
make every corner of our community
as clean as its cleanest home?
Paint and varnish are mighty fine
things for woodwork, steel, and other
exposed surfaces, but who would
think of painting dirty surface?
Cleanliness is absolutely necessary
before paint can be properly applied,
therefore the cleaning operation
comes first-after which "Paintliness
insures continued Cleanliness"
Take a walk or drive through our
streets and alleys. Are they as clean
as your home or place of business
Are the lawns moved and raked, the
hedges trimmed, the buildings kept
repaired and in good condition?
Visitors from other places will
judge our city by the appearance
much the same that you are judged by
the appearance of your home. Every
man, woman and child should be as
proud Of our city and its environment
as our most famous housekeeper il
proud of her home.
At meeting of the Board o.
Directors of the Chamber of Com
merce last night, it was decided tt
ask the Mayor to set aside the weel
of August 18th to September 3rd a.

you help achieve for our city thii
ideal of cleanliness and order by do
ing your bit?~

Looking Out for America First

Republican Senators and Repre-
sentatives are determined that prop
erty in the hands of the Alien
property Custodian shall not be
returned to its former owners
until after financial readjustments
with Germany have been COM
pleted. 1t has been rumored that
a drive is soon to start in New
York against the acts of the former
custodians in an effort to obtain the
return of property that they took
over. Senator Philander c. Knox Of.
Pennsylvania, is of the opinion that
the peace resolution amply protects
American rights in that regard. THE
purpose of the resolution" said Sen
ator Knox, ''is simply TO hold in statu
QUO the things that have been done
by the Alien Property Custodian. The
whole theory of the Joint resolution
is that we are going to retain such
property as is held only until suit
able provision has been made for the
satisfaction of American claims
against Germany"
Nearly Half a Billion for Vets
Congressman Burton E. Sweet of
Iowa, author of the Veterans Bureau
bill, estimates that the measure will
cost the Government $3.50, 100000
year to administer. The cost last year
of the soldier relief bureaus that the
bill consolidates was about $500, ,OOO,-
600. Those who think that the Gov
ernment is failing in its duty to World
War veterans should consider these
figures.

Ne LIS to PubIie servants

The action of the Department of
Commerce in dismissing two commits
sioners who accepted tips for per-
forming public duties is a policy that
should be adopted throughout the
government departments. If men are
not willing to serve for the compensa-
ton provided by law from the public
treasury. they should be relieved.
There can be no equality of service
where some of the patrons tip public
officials.

Friday night a number of Hays
people went to Ellis to hear the lee
ture of Hon. Leon Dabo, under the
Chautauqua tent. The lecturer had
been all over the world and was well
versed in the politics as well as the
policies of the whole world. During
the past two years he had been on
missions to Russia, Grmany and
Poland. The people there in many
places are not only short of food but
are actually destitute, thousands of
them are dying every week. "When
I came to New York City the con-
trast" the speaker said, "struck with
amazement for I saw nothing but
waste and extravaganza both in food
and dress"
On Sunday, August 7th, Mr.. Viii
liam thinner, of Erie, Pa, and Miss
Faythe Logan, of Hays, were mar
ried in the Methodist church. The Of
fciating clergyman was Rev. C. F.
West. The service was in full form.
There were eighteen people in the
wedding party participating in the
ceremony. After the service a re-
ception wedding banquet was held at
the country home of the bride. Mr..
and Mrs. thinner will live in Topeka,
Kansas, where the groom is connected
with the big Woolworth Store. We
offer our congratulations to the happy
couple.
County Engineer c. J. LOreditsch
and F. A. Learned, civil engineer,

The latter is working on the plans and
specifications for water works sys-

bonds carry. The election will be
held the 2nd day of September and
the amount the city is asked to issue
is $4,000.
Alex West, this week, purchased
the Frank Stout residence on East
Juniata street, and will move it onto
