SERVICE BACK TO NORMAL
But Telephone Gangs Have Not Yet
Repaired Storm DAMAGE


While the service over the lines
of the United and Consolidated Tele-
phone systems so badly damaged by
the storms of March 10 and March
Is has been restored, men will be
working for months taking up the
slack in wires. Many cables are vet
supported only by a convenient limb.
The company has had $50 men in
twenty-eight gangs working fifteen
days to restore service quickly. The
March 10 storm covered an area of
$50 by 100 miles, from Manhattan
on the east TO Ellsworth, from Clay
Center and Minneapolis on the north
to Herington and Mcpherson. Over
5000 poles were down or broken, 125
miles of poles; 1900 miles of circuit
were put out of commission The
March Is storm covered from Plain
vile to Colby and Phillipsburg to
Oberlin, tangling wires and upsetting
service. The damage to the lines has
reached fully the first estimate of G.
L. Brown, 500, 600. 1.-The company"
says Mrs. Brown, ''has suffered the
greatest damage from storms in the
history of central Kansas but it al
ways sets aside a reserve for just
such emergencies and the loss will
not affect in any way eitehr the pay
ment of dividends or continuation of
expansions planned for the coming
year. The storm has demonstrated
the ability of our loyal employees to
meet conditions and maintain their
policy of Service first.

HAYS MUSIC FESTIVAL PLANS
COMPLETED
Two Programs Day for Eight Days
Making Sixteen Programs of the
Highest Rank

The Hays Music Festival this year
will undoubtedly be the finest that
has yet been prepared, according to
those in charge. The plans have all
been completed, and the final calen-
dar of programs can now be an
nounced.
In proof of the fact that the pro-
gram is the finest that has ever been
presented in Western Kansas, atten-
ton might be called to a few facts.
In the first place, the great Festival
Chorus is now showing signs of the
maturity which comes from several
years of practice and experience in
oratorio singing.
In the second place, the two spe-
cial Sunday afternoon artists COM
-bine to rank higher than the artists
engaged for any previous festival.
There is no more widely known nor
higher rank artist than Madame
Schumann-Heink. And Raoul Vidas,
the violinist, is at least the equal of
any violinist engaged in previous
years.
In the third place, the Fort Hays
Normal, School talent will present
programs which will be more than
worthy of a place among the other
fine programs of the week. These
programs will include Glee Club and
band concerts, pupils recitals and
aesthetic dance program.
In the fifth place, the public school
music contest on Saturday afternoon,
May 6, viii be by far the largest ana
most varied yet held during the music
festival.

The Oratorio of the Prodigal Son
at the Presbyterian church on Sun
day last was enjoyed by a large
audience; the time was propitious
the weather delightful; all who
participated were in fine voice, and
they were welcomed by an appreciat-
i've house. All were pleased at the
reading of the text of the parable by
Mrs. Lee-not one in fifty of our
school graduates can read as we'll as
was done on this occasion.
The recital has been highly praised,
and in my own estimation it was
superior to the recitals of the ora

L stood when a young man and
looked through the iron paling upon
the grave of Benjamin and Deborah
Franklin. People from the four
quarters of the globe have come and
stood and looked down upon that
weather-stained slab of marble that
lies horizontally, after the old style,
over the Immortal dust; and, I ven
ture to say that, millions of patriotic
Americans have come and did like
wise.
What emotion stirred the hearts of
these people, and, like a lodestone.
drew them irresistably to that humble
spOt-what stirred their wonted
fires? The pomp of earth was not
there; no high-raised battlements; no
bronze memorials. 1t was the fact
that, if we could obliterate the life
and services of Benjamin Franklin
from the pages of American history,
a vast void, hung with deep mourn
ing, would take their place.
He being dead yet speaketh. His
memory is borne as precious bur
den on the hearts of his countrymen
"a burden which they carry with
pride and would not be rid of.
Benjamin Franklin and Abraham
Lincoln were, in many ways, much
alike; as Senator Dolliver of Iowa
some years ago, pointed out, both
had the good fortune to be born
poor; both possessed the genius of a
wise humor, to which the people re
sponded instinctively-a story, mot,
and clarified, a whole
problem, nothing more needed to be
said-the battle was won.

It seems like old times to see a
grocery in the Essex Hall building
again. Old timers remember when
South Main street had its Courtney
book store; Schultz, the jeweler;
the Motz, Henley and Mittlemeier
general stores; the Hall hardware;
the Racket store on the corner, and
over in the big stone building the
Philip -Oshant hardware and later the
Eastman general store; and If the
railroad ever gets to that new depot
and parking the present depot site'
the south side will again be lined
with stores and business places.

ATTEND THE ANNUAL. ROUND
lip


mems Round Up at the Fort Hays
Experiment Station, Hays, Kan, is
set for Saturday, April %, 1922, and
gives promise of being one of the
best ever staged. New information,
3ncluding results of feeding and
breeding experiments with beef cat
tie, feeding experiments with sheep,
and feeding experiments with dairy
cattle for milk production. will be
presented.
All producers of livestock will be
interested in the various mainten-
ance experiments. Some of last
years experiments have been contin-
ued in order to obtain still more de-
finite information regarding certain
feeds. Those interested in the util-
ization of straw will find experiments
wherein straw alone, straw and sill
age, straw and alfalfa, silage alone,
and silage and alfalfa, respectively,
have been fed to five lots of mature
among these feeds shows up in the
calving percentage.
Many farmers desire to know how
many head of cattle can be fed from
an acre of sorghum. Four lots of ten
cows each have been fed sorghum
silage with heads on, sorghum silage
with heads off, sorghum fodder with
heads on, and sorghum with heads off,
respectively. The actual acreage of
sorghum and the amount of feed in
pounds consumed by each lot will be
summarized and made available to
visitors at the Round Up.
Does it pay to carry a steer until
he is three years old? Those who at
tended the Round Up last year saw
a bunch of yearling steers starting
out on a three-year experiment,
wherein they were to be fed for three
winters and run on pasture for three
summers. They have been divided
into two. lots. One lot is fed dry
roughage only and the other lot
chiefly silage. Both lots are to be-
taken off grass at the same time and
put on feed at the same time during
the three-year experiment This ex-
pertinent has now run one season and
some very good information has been
obtained.
Breeders interested in the age at
which heifers should drop their first
calves will find a new experiment en-
tracing two lots of twenty-six two
year-old heifers, one lot now drop
ping calves at two years old and one
lot to drop calves at three years old.
These lots are to be bred alternately
to two bulls of extremely different
type, and some very good informa-
ton of particular value to range cat
tlemen is looked for. The individual
performance record of each cow will
be kept.
Sheepmen will find the results of
experiments in maintaining breeding
ewes and eve lambs on various west
ern Kansas feeds of real value. Five
Rambouillet bucks were recently OBJ |
tained for use on ewes which are to
be kept for breeding purposes.
Dairymen will welcome the trans
fer of the dairy to headquarters |
where the cows, now milking, have
been placed on experiment comparing
the feeding value of alfalfa and cane
hay for milk production. Preimin-
ary announcements of results from
this experiment to date will be made
at the Round Up.
The program for the 1922 Round
Up will be sufficiently varied to be Of
interest to every farmer and stock
man of Western Kansas. Remember
the Day, Saturday, April 20, 1922.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT. ELLIS
COUNTY, KANSAS
ELLIS
Monthly Report for the Month of
March, 1922.

marcn 81, 1922.
To Board of County Commissioners:
The Department was crippled and
the school work interrupted during
the month by the resignation of Mrs.
Reed, who had been doing health
WORK in Ellis County for about two
years. 1t was found to be no easy
matter to locate a Red Cross nurse
with public health training to sue
ceed Mrs. Reed, especially one that
would be acceptable to the different
interests of Ellis County. After
some difficulty, however, with the
assistance of the Red Cross and State
Board of Health, we succeeded in
locating Miss Frances Hoy of To-
pela, Kansas, and she was given the
position.
Miss Hoy arrived in Hays on the
evening of March 21st, and reported
for duty on the morning of March
22nd. Miss Hoy has been en-
gagged in public health work and
school health work in Shawnee
County, for the past year and a
half; prior to this she had done pub
lie health work for two and a half
years. She is a graduate of ST..
Francis Hospital, training school, of
Topeka, Kansas, and comes to Us
highly recommended by the Red
Gross, and by the State Nursing
Association of Kansas. 1t is earnest
ly hoped that she will prove satisfac-
tory to all parties concerned, and
will receive the support and coOpera-
tion of the people of Ellis County.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
had no County Nurse for the greater
part of the month, it was possible for
US to complete some physical examin-
ations and school work A local nurse
was hired for two or three days to
assist the Health Officer and physical
examinations We're completed in the
7th and 8th grades in the Graded
School and the High School was com
pleted at Ellis; in all 167 children
were examined and of these ninety
four or $3.50 We're found to be de-
fective. Work is now progressing in
the st. Josehp's Parochial School at
Hays and as this is a very large
school it will be several days before
examinations will be completed in
this school.
Several parents have been in the
Office in conference with the Health
Officer in regard to having defects
corrected in their children. One
child was sent TO Kansas City through |
the assistance obtained from the Red
Cross, and will have her defects cor
rected in that city by a specialist.
The Diphtheria situation at Munjor
seems to be we'll under control. no
more cases have been reported from
that district. There were eleven |
cases in all reported in the Depart
ment with one death from the disease
There are now under quarantine two |
cases of Scarlet Fever at Hays, and
two cases of Chicken Pox at Hays, |
and two cases of Small Pox at Ellis. /
The morbidity report for the month
of March shows thirteen cases of in
fectious diseases reported to the De-
partment: thirteen cases under
quarantine; four cases of Diphtheria,
five cases of Chicken Pox, three cases
of Scarlet Fever, one case of Pneu-
mOnia.

work accomplished during the month:

Through the efforts of the Hospi-
tai Committee of Hays representing
the people of our city at the annual
conference, the Conference and Ma
tional Board of Hospitals of the
Methodist Episcopal Church agreed
to establish a great hospital at Hays.
This means that in the future a
great modern hospital will be con-
structed here. In the near future,
the present Church building will be
changed into a temporary hospital
for the immediate needs. The Hays
folk are pushers, and get what they
need to meet our wants.
