glad to welcome such people as these
to Hays.
The incest display in the city, of
Easter rabbits and Easter eggs, can
be seen in the grocery department of
A A. Wiesner's store. 1t is suspected
that Ed Hill is the artist responsible
for that elegant display.
n. P. Gassman's new building on
South Chestnut street is beginning to
assume shape and viii soon be ready
for the finishing touches. Nick is
optomistic of the future greatness of
Hays. If Hays had few more Nicks
like the southside shoe carpenter, the
southside would soon cause people to
take notice.
Young Arthur Lee, recent employe
of the Ellis County News, has been
made fixture at the Hays postoffice.

sumo is a republican, which obviates
any derogatory remarks from an OBJ
serving public.

Dakota, is here visiting his relatives,
the Philip family. George is district
attorney and it is reported that he
was instrumental, perhaps, in detect
ing and running to earth more dis
loyal pro-Germans during the World
War than any one man in the United
States.
The Hays Commandery initiated a

Masonry last Wednesday. Members
of the lodge here, with their visiting

for 1922 and s2O2, 800 for 1928, and
were cut down to 171,0O0 for 1922
and s145,5OO for 1928; so Hays viii
get $685., 500 of state money to spend
the next two years.
Felix Bissing, while digging a cellar
for his new home in Normal Court,
this week unearthed, about three feet
under the ground, a human skeleton
probably a relic of the wild and
woolly, historic" days of Hays when
a imam for breakfast" was not an un-

was partly missing, had decomposed,
but the proof that it was a mans
body that had been buried there,
perhaps hurriedly, was the finding Of
a lack knife and several coat buttons.
This is a mystery that viii perhaps

shall be no more.
