The picture sTn the Heart of q
Fool" from the book by William
Allen White, which was shown at the
Strand, Wednesday and Thursday
is one of the best pictures Of the
year The plot is exceptionally good
and scenic settings fine. The cast is
a strong one, and the parts well
taken. Taking it all in all, it is an
excellent picture, and the manage
ment of the Strand should be com
mended for bringing it to the movie
patrons of Hays.
Arthur Steed, former student of
the Normal, met with serious acci-
dent recently. He was working in q
grain elevator at Penokee, Kansas
and while at the top of the elevator
the cable carrying the main life broke
letting him fall sixty feet. The acci-
dent occurred about p. m. He was
operated on at St. Anthonys hospital
by DR.. Jameson. His left leg was
crushed. Part of the bone was re
moved and silver plates inserted in
stead. He is getting along fine and
no doubt will ultimately recover.
The news dispatches tell that
Dodge City has been made hrst-
class postofice on account of its post
al receipts. Yet it has about the
same population as Hays. Acting
Postmaster Clark of the Hays office
wants Hays to be advanced from a
J second to a first, and he has allowed
the Golden Belt Railroad folks to
hang in the post Office windows for
few days, SO everybody can see, the
maps and papers of that road as fled
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission at Washington, so as to show
the Hays people the Importance OF
having the road come direct to Hays,
rather than on a spur. It shows the
map route, the Reservation, that the
road wants to cross to get to Hays,
and can't come on direct
route unless they can cross
