Edward Francis Madden

On Sunday, Edward Francis Mad
den, who has been i'll for the last six
years, died at his home on West Sec
ond Street in this city. The funeral
services were held Tuesday, at which
the members of the family and a few
old time friends and associates of the
deceased attended. Mr.. Madden was
born in Virginia, Cass County, Ill
inois, and was a lad of eleven years
when the Civil War broke out. Later
he went with his parents to Mercer
County, Missouri. There he went to
school, taught school and instructed
in county Institutes. In 1878 he came
to Hays. For a number of years he
was engaged in the implement busi-
ness and became interested in the
First National Bank of which insti-
tuition he became president in the
early COS, and which position he held
until 1916 when he sold out his in
terest to E. NJ. Speer of Hoxie.
But the deceased did not confine his
energies entirely to this city or coun-
ty, although he was heavily interested
in cattle and horses, but promoted
tOWnsites in GOodland, Oakley, in this
state, and in Colorado at Kit Carson,
Cheyenne Wells, and Siebert. This
can be said that he was energetic,
hardworking at all times and fought
for his rights, and in every townsite
enterprise he won out, and not only
that but won and kept the good will
and esteem of his antagonists. When
the fight was over all was forgotten
and all pitched in to make a good
town.
He was a member of several fra
ternal orders, among them the
Modern Woodmen and Occidental
Mutual Benefit Association. The lat
ter order he helped to found at Salina
and was member of its managing
board for a number of years.
He is survived by his son, w. J.
Madden, and his daughter, Mrs. AL
bert Glathart, both of this city, and
five grandchildren. His wife died
several years ago.

IT SOUNDS GOOD
AN INCREASE IN ENROLMENT
AT THE FORT HAYS NORMAL
Teachers for High Schools Are in De-
man9-NO Better Field of En-
deavor is Offered for Young
PennlA

The fall semester opened at the
Fort Hays Kansas Normal School last
Tuesday, with an increase of thirty
five per cent in enrolment over last
year for the same period.
During the war period the enroll
ment in all teacher training institu-
tions decreased materially. Since the
war high salaries and shortage of
teachers have continued to hold the
Normal School enrollments down. The
present enrolment dictates a return
of attendance at the Normal Schools.
The supply of adequately prepared
teachers for both high school and
grades is still far below the demand.
Present indications are that this con-
dition will remain for a number of
years to come, and teachers salaries
will consequently remain high.
There is probably no profession
that offers better field for young
people at the present time than the
teaching profession.

CHAUTAUQUA LOSES
NOT FOR MANAGEMENT, BUT
FOR LOCAL UNDERWRITERS
What Some Towns In the State Are
Saying About Travelling Shows
Called ChAutauoua.

Sabetha, August 15.-The Chau-
tauqua IN northeastern Kansas are
losing plenty of money this year for
the people. The one at Sabetha lost
$500. At Hiawatha, the guarantors
took an assessment of $3.50 each. At
Falls City, the local management is
wrestling with deficiency. This class
of shows have all the best of it that
the local people are asked to under
write the loss and do so in a written
contract prepared by the chautauqua
management. A chautauqua. seven
days, now costs $1,000. Before the
war it cost $1,000. A five-day show
costs $500 and the gate receipts.
The local management takes what
Is left after the chautauqua gets the
guarantee, three-fourths of the gate
receipts and all local expenses. The
farmers are Withholding their patron
age on the grounds that they are re-
ceiving a third as much for their
crops and because the moral tone is
slipping.
The above special from SaDetha
tells the average story of the chau-
tauqua proposition. Just how it is
possible for some smooth talking man
or woman to come into a community
and get the best business men of that
place TO guarantee them a profit on
their show-to get out and work like
beavers, spend their time and money,
all TO give a fat profit to bunnch of
outsiders. who care nothing for the
community. except the money they
can rake in-is something difficult to
understand.
We grant there are plenty of good
chautauquas-jus as there are doz-
ems of cheap ones-but the writer
cannot see why they should be guar
anteed a profit on their enterprise any
more than a circus or any other tent
show; and if all the towns were like
this there would either be no Chau-
rauquas or they would travel on their
merit solely.
yep" you guessed it; we have
been through the mill and we know
lust how the game is worked.-Valley
Falls Vindicator.
Oswego's Chautauqua was all right
and our people have no regrets; s;-but
as the writers above say why not let
the Chautauquas stand some risk. We
found from experience in former
years that if you have no confidence
in the drawing powers of your attrac-
tions the only business you will get
will be the guarantee, and likely leave
a very bad taste in the mouths of the
guarantors. The fair way Is the
mutual sharing of expenses and profit
If any, the same as any first class
theatrical observation-disclosures Demo-

CHO-CHO TELLS CHILDREN HOW
TO KEEP WELL
Famous Health Clown Gave Show to
School Children, Friday After


How many had an egg for break
fast?"
One thousand hands went up in the
air.
"Ah, that makes Cho-ChO happy for
boys and girls to eat eggs for break
fast
The clown elected one laugh after
another from the children, and after
a especially hearty peal, he told
them the reason he made them laugh
was to see how many had teeth like
pearls and how many like cohee
beans. He demonstrated in his anus
ing but none the less forceful man
ner. how the teeth should be cleaned,
and further, the groans one hears
when little boy or girl has to sit IN
the dentists chair.
The recipe for a Cho-Cho sandwich
was given as follows: "Spread two
pieces of bread with peanut butter
and put lettuce leaves between" Par
ships, carrots, spinach and beets were
also recommended.
There is as much nOurishment in
three prunes as in eighteen toma-
toes" said Cho-Cho, as he advised the
children to have their mother cook
more prunes. He also advised the use
of prunes in the place of meat, which
is seldom masticated.
"You might as we'll eat sawdust as
cucumber" he said.
Value of Drinking Milk
The thing most emphasized in his
patter and pantomime was the value
of drinking milk Oatmeal and eggs
were also added to the ideal break
fast menu by the health clown. From
a large market basket he took various
vegetables and fruits telling whether
each was good or bad for boys and
girls. At the close of the demonstra-
tion he asked his audience to tell him
whether each was good or bad as he
held it up. The list of things good for
children included boiled cabbage, let
tuce, cooked celery, grapefruit, beets
cooked with the tops, carrots, ripe
bananas, potatoes cooked in the skins,
spinach, milk, boiled onions, prunes,
turnips, chocolate if eaten at meal
times, beans and asparagus. In an
imaginary garbage can he tossed Gu
cumbers, radishes, peppers, pickles,
doughnuts, and anything cooked in a
frying pan
ChO-Cho advocates drinking lots of
water and milk and omitting tea and
coffee from the diet entirely. He is
strong for outdoor exercise, swim
ming in particular, and insists on lots
of fresh air in sleeping rooms. Chill
dren should be in bed at o'clock, he
insists. Small boys who ordinarily
look uncomfortable at the very men
tion of bathtub, howled with laugh
ter as Cho-ChO gave an imitation of a
small boy taking an ideal bath
Following the health game Cho-Cho
amused his audience for some time
with tricks, making flags of various
nations appear apparently out of
the air and taking six eggs from his
mouth in quick succession.

LET US BE THANKFUL
We Have Lived in the Happy Medium
This Year of 1921

In Pueblo and San Antonio, and
other points south of us, and in
Nebraska and the Dakotas north of
US, the people have suffered great
perils from floods and tOrnadOes, and
in Montana from frost and snow,
while here in Hays we have suffered
only from the heat, which is now hap
PLY past. The Secretary of the In
terror has announced that there are
close to six million unemployed in
our nation, a half million of them
destitute and sleeping in the parks OF
New York City. Fortunate Western

in any wise; come, therefore, to Ellis

Hays, where misfortune does not
trouble, none are weary, and only

FLOUR EXPORTS INCREASE
Movement Through Galveston Shows
Huge Gain
Yours as ever,
Peter Johnson, Jr.

Movement Through Galveston Shows
Huge Gain
Galvetosn, Texas, Sept. 13.-The
export movement of flour through the
port of Galveston jumped from s.
313.978 pounds in July to 13,359,632
pounds in August. England and HOl-
land showed decided preference for
the product of American flour mills
Of the total last month 1,049,86O
pounds went to London and 100000
pounds to Hull. Rotterdam alone,
however, with 1911, ,755 pounds, took
more than twice as much as moved
through this port in July. The ship
.ments to Amsterdam aggregated l.
993,185 pounds. Scandinavian ports
appeared for the first time as heavy
customers of American -four, taking
100000 pounds.-Kansas City Star.
Wouldn't it be nice if the new
Golden Belt Railroad was built from
Hays running direct to Galveston so
some of the splendid hard-wheat flour
of the Hays Mill could be shipped
direct to these foreign ports. The
flour shipped years ago to South
America from the Hays Mill took the
highest prizes.

A Change from Coal to Petroleum

The State has in contemplation an
experiment, the use of petroleum in
place of coal, for generating power.
This will include our Normal School
as we'll as the other state institutions
The state will demand a six months
contract for the experiment, as the
price of petroleum f1uctuates so much
that the state will not undertake the
experiment without a fixed price for
the oil for that length of time Not
altogether, but for the most part, if
fuel oil proves to be the most econom-
ical, it will be used rather than coal.
