Louisville, Ky, Jan. 23.-"The face on the barroom floor should be skull, with crossbones under it., these days" declares George H. Blin- COG, federal prohibition agent.
 "Death turks in white corn liquor" he says. Tt all contains fusel oil. one of the most deadly poisons First run moonshine is rank poison yet the moonshiner who makes the stuff first shots it is called by the legiti- mate distiller, doesn't trouble himself to distil it again, but sells it as it fs for drinking purposes.
 Double dstillation and nEeng in charred barrels for at least four years is necessary to remove the fusel oil, Mir. Blincoe says

resorted to Big Greek to quench its
thirst as late as 1868.
lComrade Brown had first hand
knowledge of Fort Hays and the
troops there and the frontier village
of Hays.
The Tenth Cavalry (coIored) occu-
pied the Fort at one time, and
bunch of these soldiers engaged in a
pitched battle with some white men
of the village; one white man was
killed and three or four negroes.
These colored troops afterward
undertook a reprisal and made oath
among themselves that they would
kill the first white man they encoun-
tered on entering the village; the
agent at the railroad station was the
unfortunate victim; he stepped out at
the door of his Office and was shot
down.
Three of these negro troopers for
feited their lives for that crime.
Booze was at the bottom of the
crimes committed by these undesir-
able citizens.
Hunting buffalo on the Saline one
day, Brown and his partners, looking
south, saw on the high bluffs, a cloud
of dust, and said to one another,
Indians" and prepared for battle;
but their fears were quieted when
they discovered that a bunch of Elk
rather than Indians were bearing
down upon them.
COmrade Brown had reliable first
hand information relating to the des-
perate encounter between a handful
of Uncle Sans Cavalry under the
command of Major Forsythe and a
strong band of blood-thrsty savages
An unequal battle that for heroism
has never been surpassed in the his
tory of our country.
In a depression in the bed of the
Arickaree in northeastern Colorado,
Forsythe and his men took refuge
and fought for their lives. Lieuten-
ant Beecher, a nephew Of Henry
Ward Beecher, was killed early in the
fight; blazing hot sun beat down up
on them; they thirsted for water; the
horde of savages. three to one, at in
tervals swOOped. down upon them.
Forsythe's men reserved their fire,
cmopelled to make every shot count.
Forsythe himself was shot in the
forehead, the ball following the con-
tour of the skull, saved his life; he
was unconscious for some time; but
finally recovered his senses land
under cover of the night, sent a cour-
ier to a distant camp for help, which
at the highest speed, broke upon the
savages and saved the little band. The
stencil from dead horses, dead Indians
and all, made sepulture difficult. q.
Major FOrsythe was a New Eng
lander, and died few years ago in
Maine, believe.

not a county west of the Miss
issippi river that offers a wider
field of endeavor than Ellis
county. Every phase of indus
trial life and business activity
viii be covered in a thorough
and constructive manner.
The carrying out of this
campaign has been made posi-
bic by the advertising support
accorded by the many progress
sive business institutions of
Hays, the metropolis and Cap

A TALK WITH GEORGE BROWN
CBy M. H. j.

At the close of the Civil War Com
rade Brown cast about for employ
ment that would measure up in some
degree to the adventurous uncertain
ties of the great struggle to save the
Union.
Being what the soldier calls ga
good shot" an athlete physically,
over six feet in height with avoirdu-
pois to correspond, it was the most
natural thing in the world for him to
take his trusty rife in hand and re-
pair to the great plains region of
Western Kansas.
Up to the close of the Civil War,
there were still Iessening herds of
buffalo ranging from the latitude of
Fort Hays south into the Panhandle
of Texas.
I, myself, in the summer Of 1860,
came in contact with eight hundred
Sioux Indians returning from western
Texas with a full complement of
stripped buffalo meat hung across the
shoulders of their ponies as they
made their way north into the
DakOtas.
Ellis county bounded on the north
by the Saline river, on the south by
the Smoky, and cut in half by Big
Greek, was we'll watered and favor
ite pasture range for a remnant of
buffalo and a very considerable num-
Der of Elk and occasional antelope,
and a quantity of Jack rabbits and
badger.
In 1868 COmrade Brown made a
good living slaughtering buffalo for
the hides to be tanned for coarse
leather, not for the robes, which, for
the first class were already highly
valued, and scarce, not to be had ex-
eept from the Indians who, alone,
tanned them in the best manner.
It gives the tenderfoot something
of surprise to picutre Ellis county
as favOrite range Of the Elk; but
that splendid specimen of large game

In the previous articles which have
been published much has been said
relative to the educational features
of Hays and Ellis county and in this
article the Catholic School will be the
subject and be written from the
standpoint of showing its value as an
asset to the city and county and the
entire western half of the state of
Kansas.
The Catholic College
Hays Catholic College is located at
Hays, Ellis county, Kansas, on one of
the main lines of the Union Pacific
railroad. Hays is a lively town, with
1000 inhabitants, has all modern
conveniences of a prosperous city.
Among these we find a we'll equipped
hospital, conducted by the Ven. Sis
ters of st. Agnes, which has been ex-
plotted under the head of public util-
tiles in this series of industrial art
icles; with an excellent staff of physi-
clans, so that in case of sickness the
students are assured of the very best
medical attention. The climate is
exceedingly dry and healthy. The
government records of the military
reservation formerly located here
show this to have been the most
healthful army post in the union.
The Hays Catholic College is con-
Quoted by Fathers of the Capuchin
Order, one of the three branches of
the Franciscan Order. 1t was found
ed in the year 1908, in compliance
with the wish of the late Bishop Gun
ningham to meet the local needs of
the Catholics of Western Kansas. The
Object of this college is to offer to
our boys and young men a thorough
classical and commercial education.
The college is a massive structure
built entirely of native stone, with a
metal roof. Alphabetically consider
ed, Hays Catholic College is one of
the most beautiful edifces of the city.
From a HYGIENE Standpoint the
college is as perfect as is possible.

result in school if he is conversant
with the classics.
The mental training acquired by
the proper study of the classics, espe-
cially of Latin and Greek, and also
mathematics, is superior to that gain
ed in any other way. The effect of
the training received therein will
show itself in all the greater intellec-
tual work
Other departments maintained in
the college are Religion, Latin, Greek,
English, History, Mathematics, Com
mercial Arithmetic, Algebra, GeOm-
etry, Trigonometry, the Science
studies, Nature studies, and the Com
mercial department, Music, Athletics,
and other studies which are so essen
tial to a complete education.
The fact that this college is located
in Hays has added much to the edu-
cational advantages of Western Kan
sas with Hays as the center and has
been the means of bringing to the
lily manly SLOOCI4LS W 1lOSC 144CC1C -
are centered here and also many fam
lies. A very substantial Board Of
Education is provided composed of
learned men who take a vital interest
in the school work.
The Catholic School
The possibilities for those who wish
to attend a paroihiaI school are aug
mented in Hays by the maintenance
of st. Joseph's Parochial school at the
corner of Fort Street and Perry ave
nue.. The building used in the con
Quoting of this school was construct
ed in 1914 and is built of brick. Ten
class rooms are maintained with
eight cloak rooms and one Office. SAM
tary features play an important part
in this building in providing the
proper environment for students and
a safeguard to their health. Ten
teachers are employed in this build
ing. This year there are enrolled PSI
boys and 29O girls. Rev. T. Bernar-
dine is principal. All grades from the
first to the eighth are taught IN this
building inclusive.
Girls Catholic High School
A Girls Catholic High School is
also maintained as a part of the paro-
chial system of Education for West
ern Kansas and is located at the cor
ner of Fourth and Elm street. There
are forty-fve pupils enrolled this
year. A general high school course
of four years is taught, which in
cludes domestic art, domestic science
and commercial work. In the case of
the latter there are several girls IN
the tipping class writing as high as
ninety-eight words a minute which
is indicative of the thoroughness of
the work. Eight girls graduated with
the 1922 class. Next year it will be
impossible to accommodate all the
girls who will apply for admission. It
is strictly a Catholic High School for
Girls.
Further information relative to
these schools, desired by those who
might anticipate admission can be re-
ceived by writing the proper heads fo
the various schools.

PROPER CARE LENGTHENS TIRE
LIFE

No matter how fine the materials
tina tgo into a tire nro how perfect
the workmanship in its construction,
the tire cannot give good service if it
is neglected and abused.
If given a reasonable amount of at
tenbion a tire that is carefully made
of good materials will repay a motor
ist for every dollar he puts into It
But even the best materials and the
finest workmanship amount to
nothing when tire is run under-in-
fiated or is subjected to rough treat
ment.
It takes only light turn of the
steering wheel to avoid having a tire
strike a big cobblestone lying on the.
roadway, yet many motorists won't
take even that much trouble to save
their tires. It is the driver who is
careful who is able to boast Of big
tire mileages.

This is a fine life for a music
lover like me-hung up here in this
store. Nobody's even hit a note on
me for months. l wish somebody'd
take me down and play the Lone
some Blues on me.
It's just like keeping ducks in
the Sahara desert to have me hang
ing around here I'm about as
happy as a battleship builder at the
Disarmament Conference. Why
don't somebody tickle me for a
tune?
I'm so-o-ome banjo, too, even if
| do say it myself. You ought to
hear me in action. l can make 'em
dance and | can make 'em cry.
I've got to give myself credit, be-
cause nobody else around here will.
What's the big idea? One of
the clerks is showing me to
couple of young fellows. One of
them is picking out a tune on me-
Gee-that's great!
Can you beat that? He's buying
me-after all these months of lone
illness. And he says he never
would have known l was being sold
at special price if he hadn't seen
me advertised in the Musical In

SIGNS OF ACTIVITY
CRy Associated Pressl

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 6--The volcano
Popocatepetl, southeast of this city,
again began to show serious signs of
activity yesterday afternoon. AT four
o'clock an explosion was heard within
the crater, the detonation being aud
ible for some distance, and a great
smoke column arose to a considerable
height, being visible in this city.
The inhabitants of villages near the
base of the mountain were panic
stricken and fled toward the large
towns farther away from the volcano.
No earth shock has been registered.
Popocatepetl has been active inter-
mittently for the past three months,
each eruption being of greater vio-
lence than the one preceding it. The
villagers at the foot of the mountain
have fled from their homes several
times, fearing a catastrophe
