sHRINERs AT HAYS TO-DAY

If all parts OF western Kansas are
as well represented at Hays today as
Is WaKeeney and Trego county there
is sure some crowd at Hays Our cit
izens have gone by train and auto
and there are at least 80 of them in
the Normal city today The crowd
consists of Shrine mobiles and novices
! and humble citizens as spectators
One hundred and one of them bought
tickets and were passengers on the
Union Pacific The train left here at
7-20 A n but even at the early hour
there was large crowd at the depot
to see the travellers start on their
journey and to wish them a pleasant
| trip-and a safe return Those who
have taken the trip are called
MOBILES" and those who were start
| ing out for the first time are called
ttNovices-" There were more than
forty of these novices and they were
clothed in proper raiment for the
| occasion and were adorned with tasti-
| ly decorated little boy hats on their
heads. They Were further adorned
| with carefully decorated red tim pals
in their hands on which was delin-
lated the likeness of a camel and the
words "Camel's Water" They were
| directed along the right path by a
long cable tow, or rope to which they
4 were all attached with one of their
| hands In this manner they were
| marched around the block and lead
to the depot and placed aboard spec
iaI car which had been provided for
! them by the kindly leaders of the I'm
ion Pacific. The WaKeeney band
furnished excellent and appropriate
| music
