THE PAVING PROGRAM IN
HAYS
(Communicated.)

The publication last week of the
list Of properties in contemplation
for paving created quite a sensation
to those who had not yet been con-
suited, for it is we'll known that Mr.
Taylor, the contractor, started in Ell
lis with a little contract, but before
leaving paved most of the streets of
that city. That Mr.. Young, the con-
tractor who put down the former
paving in Hays, paved a few blocks
in Downs, Rev. Hale's town. and fin
ally paved a dozen business blocks
and forty-eight residence blocks, the
business blocks being of brick and
the residence blocks of sheet asphalt.
They were so well pleased with his
work that they gave him a con-
tract for more; and it will not be sur
prising if the property owners on
more streets ask Mr.. Taylor to pave
theirs with brick or asphalt, the lat
ter being $50 cheaper for each fifty
foot lot, and both kinds are guaran-
teed for five years. We have sent
our reporters out the last week, to
ascertain what the people were talk
ing about and wanted on paving.
Down on East Normal they favor
paving, but want the entire street
from Chestnut to Miner, paved the
24-foot with asphalt, using the extra
money in putting in lamp posts on
each corner and two on each block,
just inside the curbing, making the
whole street from the State Normal
a white way driveway. It would be
very pretty. However, they do not
want it done until next spring.
Police Judge McLain says there
will not be any paving on North Fort
street this year, times are too hard,
and only one resident on the whole of
the proposed route will sign for it this
fall.
The Normal folks and property
owners on West Wilson avenue would
like to see their pretty street paved
leading to the Coliseum, the senti-
ment for and against being about
evenly divided
Mrs. Glathart and Mrs. Reemsny-
der would not kick if West Second
street was paved, but will sign no
petition to make others pave unless
they want to.
East Second is divided on the ques-
ton. They hSee a petition signed to
extend the present pavement from
Oak east to Pine and on Pine to the
Wholesale house, but east of that
they want to wait until next year.
On Crawford avenue east to the
city line, they are enthusiastic as it

THE ADVENTURES OF JANE
(By Ruth Costner.)
Chapter IV.-sehooI Preparation!

Chapter IV.-SchoOI Preparations
"Oh, Mother" cried Jane, running
into the kitchen, School starts next
week and Betty just phoned and
wants me to stay there and go to
school, and then I could come home
over Saturday and Sunday"
''You have my consent" said her
mother, "but you will have to ask
your father about it. You had better
get ready and go to town and get the
books you will need"
alright" said Jane, "and I will
stop at the postofice and see if my
rug has come yet"
She changed her apron for a cool
bingham dress and put on her hat
When she went back in the kitchen
her mother gave her the money to pay
for her books. She told Jane that if
she saw her father while she was in
town that she might ask him about
staying with Betty.
Alright, I'll do that, mother. Good
bye"
Goodbye, Jane"
Jane went out to the garage and
got the car and started to town. The
first place she went after she reached
town was to the book store. She
went in and the clerk came forward
and asked, "What can I do for your"
II want the books for the first year of
high school, bottle of ink and a
large sized loose-leaf note book"
After being sure she had all of her
books she went around to the post
Office and sure enough, her package
was there. She put it in the car and
then she saw her father coming down

WHY SUFFER so?

Why suffer from a bad back, from
sharp, shOOtign tWinges, headaches,
dizziness and distressing urinary ills?
Hays people recommend Doan's Kid
ney Pills. Ask your neighbor! Could
you ask for stronger proof of merit?
Mrs. Joe G. Jacobs, Hays, says: 81
have trouble with my back sometimes
which seems to come from little
Overwork around the house. There
is a dull ache across my loins and my
kidneys and I feel tired and drowsy
a good bit of the time. Whenever I
bend over, twinges shoot up my back
and shoulders and I feel dizzy. My
kidneys seem to be weak and irreg-
ular in action, too. When I feel any
of this trouble, begin to take Doan's
Kidney Pills which buy at the King
Bros Drug Store and a short use en-
tirely rid me of the agony"

would then put the Golden Belt High
way again on the map so tourists can
take the section line from Walker,
keep away from the railroad track,
come by the handsome Herzog church,
the Jack Wolf place east Of town, and
right down by the Windsor hotel and
! the new Postofice, the Court House
and right on to Ellis. The old Golden
Belt boomers are already after it.
Those on Sheridan avenue from
the Lutheran Church east would like
to see their pretty street paved with
the sheet asphalt for a quiet, pleasant
driveway, but prefer to wait until
next spring.
Elm street is waiting, and has been
for two years, to have their street
paved from Sixth to the Golden Belt
pavement, preferring the asphalt, but
preferred to go right on now rather
than wait and trust to its satisfaction,
so viii put in brick, but want it done
right away.
As soon as they pave, they believe
Sixth avenue will get in the notion
and pave from Ash street west to the
City line and the coming Catholic
College grounds. While Mr.. Oshant,
owning much property on this
street, is not anxious to pave,
Jones, Kraus, Fellers and Wiesner
want it paved all the way through to
make that the main thoroughfare for
the new College grounds. 1t is claim
ed they have sufficient signatures to
their petition.
Both Cochran and Reeder are anx-
iOus that Walnut street shall be paved
from Normal to South Main, and
have been waiting year or more.
The Methodist people are not anx-
ious that their cross streets be paved
until next year, and hope the people
viii be patient on those streets as the
paving money is needed to go on with
the building of their Church and
DormatOry, now held back for want
of funds.
Those on Fourth and Fifth avenue
are not rushing, but many tell that
if the other streets in their neighbor-
hood are paved, they will be in the
swim. Oak street from Normal to
Main, got in the swim, so last week
signed up their paving petition.
; 1t is believed that if the Taylor
! Construction company, now here with
their men and tools and paving out
/ fit, would do like the Young Construc-
ton Company did at Downs, offer to
pave the residence streets the TWEEN
ty-four feet at $2.25 a yard with
sheet asphalt and 90 cents for gut
tiers as now, they could get twenty
five to fifty blocks petitioned and

contract is done.

'Heno, Jane" he said. Father,
Betty wants me to stay this winter
and go to school, ''WelI, now who
is Betty?" he asked, ''and how far
does Betty live from the school?"
Why. father, you remember Betty
Perkins, surely. She is one of my
friends here in town and she lives
just three blocks from school" ST
had thought something about moving
to town but if you can get a good
place to stay that is near the school,
1 guess you can stay with Betty"
Jane drove by Betty's house on her
way home and told her the wonderful
news that they would get to stay to-
gether and go to school.
When she arrived home, she ran up
the front steps and into the parlor
where her mother was reading.
Mother" she said, 81 saw father
when I was in town and he said I
could stay with Betty" 'eWhen are
you going in to stay with herr" 81
will go in Sunday afternoon" ''WeH,

clothes ready" she added ooh, I
am so gladr' said Jane as she darted
up the stairs.

LESS TALK AND MORE REAL FACTS, PLEASE
Packing One Small Hall and Howlng Down the
Speakers Won't Do; Meet the Issue Squarely

What are the people to think of the present con-
troversy between the Republican and Democratic
leaders in Reno? Why is it that the Democrats
TALK about debating ONLY upon a subject of
their own choice? Why is it that they refuse to
debate the record of State Engineer Scrugham,
when actually he is the man running for the office
of Governor Of Nevada?
Why is it, unless the challenge flung by the
Democrats was for the purpose Of avoiding facts
and throwing dust in the voters eyes, that the
Democrats of Nevada HAVE NOT ANSWERED
THE PUBLISHED ADVERTISEMENTS of the
Republican State Central Committee showing in
black and white figures that the Republicans rely
upon to win this election?
The question is DO THE DEMOCRATS DARE

wasted by Democratic political highbnders at Car
son City, in manner that people may study the
whole facts and figures? Evasion won't do. Facts

Talk is cheap but putting it down in black and
white is sometimes difficult. The people want to
see that advertisement answered, with definite get
at-able figures. Come through, Democrats, or by
your silence acknowledge that there is no answer.

Eugene Myer, Director War Finance
Corporation, Discusses Needs of
West With Senator J. Shee-
han of This City

Being unable to attend a lunch
con in San Francisco last Wednes-
day at which Eugene Meyer Jr.,
managing director of the War Fl
nance Corporation, addressed a
number of western leaders of the
livestock industry, telegraphic ar
rangements were made so that
Senator ]. Sheehan of this city
might confer with Mr.. Meyer aboard
train last night while the latter wa.
en- route east. Senator Sheehan
was member of the San Francisco
committee of the War Finance Cor.
poration before organizing the
Northern Nevada Loan Association
of which he is secretary, and has
been closely identified with the
work of improving financial affairs
for the livestock and ranching in
dustries since it's inception. Becom-
ing identified with the loan associa-
ton it was necessary for him to re-
sign his official place with the fin
ance corporation and subsequently
L. w. Knowles of the Reno Ma
tional bank was named. Mr..
Knowles, Mr.. Sheehan and George
Russell, president of the Nevada
Land & Livestock Association, were
the three Nevada men invited to at
tend the luncheon.
Senator Sheehan said today that
Mr.. Meyer was very optimistic dur
ing the conference held last night
and is firmly convinced that the out
look for the next year is very bright
for the livestock and agricultural
industries. Mr.. Meyer stated that
he looks forward to the devising of
a plan that will bring about a per-
manent method of financing the two
industries, embodying the temporary
relief now afforded by the War
Finance Corporation.
Mr.. Meyer stated to Mr.. Sheehan
that he, as well as administration
officers at Washington and Presi-
dent Harding, is anxious to welcome
any scheme to assist livestock men
and farmers of Nevada. The ad-
ministration is now working on a
plan to finance these industries in a
permanent manner and it is the
hope that the meeting to be held in
Washington, November 20, in which
a special committee will participate,
will bring about the solution of the
problem. Senator Sheehan is a
member of the special committee
which will meet in Washington, it
being remembered that he was
named for this purpose at meet
