thing but the feeblest flame. He
shot half mechanically and seemed
to care nothing at all whether his
hunters found him game or not.
And, as is frequently the case,
fortune, as If piqued at his indif-
ference, showered him with gifts.
In the ten days curing which
Hoodless lay helpless, he killed
lions, another leopard, giraffe,
oryx, roam, cob and several of the
smaller antelope. He missed a
small herd Of elephants by half a
day-indeed, but for his de-
termination to keep. within easy
reach of the helpless man at the
camp he might have followed these
south and added to his trophies.
But he let them go-turning back
with an Indifference which few
weeks before would have seemed
impossible to him.
FL Addar, though he, too, had
reasons why he desired to be in
Khartum as soon as possible, was
amazed,
Staring south, from a bit of ris-.
ing land, towards the distant
smudge which indicated the
thickening forests of the less arid
regions; the big negro hesitated.
''In one day we can come up

But it was without enthusiasm

gone out from his desire to hunt,

would make Hays the best paved city
in Western Kansas, as he says in his
article: "Add to that the Million
Dollar Catholic College, the 100000
Normal Dormitory, the $250,O0O
Methodist Church and Dormitory, the
$4,000 new Presbyterian Church,
the $4,000 Lutheran addition, the
many new residences being built"
then if we could get that North and
South Railroad from Hutchinson and
Great Bend, to Plainvile, Stockton
and Phillipsburg, right through
HAYS, the little city would surely be
on the map, and more talked of than
any Western Kansas city. Yet it is

a push.

and there were 1889 still-births in
Kansas last year. This is only one
element of the cost. It is paid in
crime and idleness and public and
private charity.
"The demand for physical fitness
for marriage grows steadily and the
state will sooner or later take notice
of it and its statutes. The Club wO-
men of the state would render a
great sevrice to the state if each club
would study the question and develop
first feeling of responsibility in all
members of a solid foundation of pub
lie opinion on which the law could be
built" Mrs Mayheld concluded.

SO buOyantly on the breeze
The flag of a sovereign people
Whose glory shall never cease.
What e'er be the hope, o stranger,
That brought you from distant strand,
What e'er be the ties that bind you
To the charms of your native land,
Respect thou the flag that's waving
So proudly before your eyes
It's Hberty's chosen emblem,
The fairest beneath the skies.
Ye men who have fed oppression
That crushed you on foreign soil,
Where mothers are forced to labor
And children forever toll.

Look Up to the vaulted skies,
A cloud of departed heroes
Look downward with undimmed eyes,
They suffered and bled to give you
A flag that should ever be
An emblem to all the nations
OF freedom and liberty.
Salute then, the flag they gave you,
Be loyal forever more.

Look up to the heights above

The Children's Code Commission is

require a ten-day notice of intention
to marry, which is designated to re-

and ill-considered marriages.

R. R. SHOP REPRESENTATIVES
TRY TO DIVIDE NOTHING
BY TWO

The representatives of the striking
railroad shop meployees submitted to
the Labor Board a budget showing
that the average American family
should have an income of about ST.
500 a year in order to live with a rea-
sOnable degree Of comfort. The items
on that budget undoubtedly were
moderate; an income of $500 a month
certainly will not allow any family of
four or five persons to indulge in
great luxury. And Of course, earn
ings of this size should not be con-
fined to the railroad men. In the
America of our dreams every family
would have a minimum income of
5000 a month. But this degree of
universal material comfort must at
present remain dream because un-
fortunately the proposed minimum
earnings multiplied by twenty-five
million American families exceed the
total national income by fifty percent
The sum of twenty-five hundred
dollars represents a certain quantity
of goods and services, of groceries,
meats and movies, of suits, under
wear and castor oil. America does
not at present produce enough to
give each family twenty-five hundred
dollars worth of goods per annum.
The productive capacity and the
transportation facilities to supply
every one with the minimum require
ments outlined by the railroad work
ers do not exist. And it is idle talk to
set up a general minimum standard of
living when it is physically impossible
to attain this standard. Until Henry
produces the Fords and John D. sup
plies the gasoline in quantities two or
three times larger than the present
output, millions of American families
will have to get along without autos
of their Own.-September Sunset.

NEW CAMP GROUND AT KAN
SAS FREE FAIR
Large Grove on Free Fair Grounds at
Topeka Prepared for Campers
Fair Week

r air eek
The demand for camping accom-
modations by Kansas people who
wish to attend the Kansas Free Fair
at Topeka and camp out during the
week has been so great that the Man
agement has transformed the large
shady grove south of the fair grounds
race track into a spacious and invit-
ing free camp ground.
A road has been built from Twen-
ty-first street and Topeka Avenue
into the camp ground to make it cas-
lily accessible for those who drive to
Topeka by auto for the Fair. The
camp ground is well sodded with blue
grass and shaded by a fifty year old,
natural grove. Sanitary conveniences
have been provided and city water
has been piped into the camp ground.
The Kansas Free Fair invites the
people of Kansas to attend the Fair
for the entire week, September II to
16, and camp in the new camp ground
all free Of charge.

Turkey wheat was about three days
later in maturing than the other
varieties and was badly damaged by
rust while the other varieties were
practically free.
The results of this test checks very
closely to the results proven by A. F.

Certainly with all the test with which
Kanred has been grown, it has been
proven without a doubt that Kanred
will give a higher yield than Turkey.

COUNTY FARM BUREAU NOTES

The average protein content of
Kansas grown Kanred wheat was
higher than that Of either Turkey or
Blackhun wheats grown in the same
field, tests just completed by the Kan
sas Agricultural Experiment Station
show The difference in protein con-
tent was small but sufficient to show
that no reduction in protein content
need to be feared from growing Kan
red wheat. Discrimination has some
times been attempted against Kanred
wheat on the ground that it was low
er in protein content than any other
hard wheats. The tests were report
ed by S. C. Salmon and P L. Mann
of the Experiment Station.
Seventy samples from eastern and
central Kansas were secured. In
every case, Kanred came from the
same field as the other variety with
which it was compared. In each case
Of comparison the preparation of the
ground, time and rate of seeding,
time of harvesting, and other cultur-
al treatments were exactly the same
for the varieties compared.
In eastern Kansas eight COMPARE
sons were made of Kanred and Black
hull. The protein content of the
eight Kanred samples, averaged
11.76 percent and that of the eight
Blackhull samples, iii per cent. In
central Kansas eighteen samples each
of Kanred, Turkey and Blackhull
were compared. In these eighteen
comparisons, the average protein
/ content of the Kanred samples was
12.39 percent, and against 11.78 per-
cent of Turkey and 11.77 per cent for
Blackhull.
Similar results have been obtained
previous to 1922, not only in Kansas
but also in experiments conducted by
other state experiment stations and
by the United States Department of

notice that the wheat making the

THE PAVING PROGRAM FOR
HAYS


HAYS
Last weeks Free Press, in its art
icle by R. Kenneth Evans, the news
paper editor booming Hays, told that
'sHays has one Of the most Extensive
Building Programs of any city in
Western eighty blocks Of
Paving"
That article was written for the
Free Press over two months ago, left
with the articles of the series to pub
lish in the order he designated, and
was what was given to him by the
Paving Boosters at that time. And
why shouldn't it be? Little Downs,
with half the size, has just completed
their program of twelve brick blocks
in the bushes part and fOrty-eight
blocks of Sheet Asphalt in its resi-
dence part and are pleased and ask
ing for more. Ellis has finished for
this year, paving over forty blocks
and asking for more. Hutchinson,
Great Bend, Larned, Dodge City and
dozens of smaller towns are now go
ing through the torn-up street disad-
vantages for the pleasures of the next
twenty years. Abilene put in Sheet
Asphalt street paving thirty years
ago and has never regretted it.
Hays has already begun that prom
ised campaign, the City Commission
ers having awarded contracts for
Juniata, East Normal, East Fifth, Elm
and Sheridan avenues-fifteen blocks,
at about S3O5 for brick and $240 for
the sheet asphalt for the cost of paw
ing each fifty foot lot complete.
The boosters have on their pro-
spective list:
