BEWARE OF PEDDLARS

During the past year there have
been a large number of peddlars in
Testing the City of Hays. Some of
these people have goods to sell that
are not stocked by the merchants of
this City while others are selling
articles that can be purchased much
cheaper in the local stores. The
prices on all the stuff they sell are
entirely too high.
There has been man working the
town this week, selling vacuum
cleaners. The prices he asks seem to
be different in different parts of the
City for the same machine. This
machine can be purchased for so
much less money than this man is
asking that it would surprise the
good housewives of this town. These
people take the peoples money and
that is the last that is seen of them.
If the machine does not work after 1t
has been delivered the party pur-
chasing the same is stung. Neither
the peddlar nor the company or
manufacturer will be available for
repairs.
These peddlars come into town,
work it for all it is worth and then
leave, taking the peoples money out
of town. They are no good to a COM
munity for they do not help the City
in any way. They do not pay either
tax or license nor help to support the
Church or other worthy enterprises.
If you want service along with the
merchandise purchase and help your
town, then patronize your home mer-
chant and send the peddlar about his
business. 1t will save you money
and annoyance.

When the snow melted last week

to be springing up green and full of

farmers call "good stand"
Last fall, and late into the winter
we heard considerable of high winds
and of wheat being blown from the
ground. Every time the wind blew
it was reported that millions of

But since the rain and the snow

The rain falls, it is said, on the

in Kansas on the wheat and the aIfal-

save the country, and, allegorically
speaking, bring home the bacon.

TRY TO SAVE THE GIRLS
DORMITORIES
Must Spend the Money Before July
or 1t Goes Back to the State

or 1t Goes Back to the State
Topeka, Kan, Mar. 1.-THE pro
ject of saving the girls dormitories
for the state schools has been check
ed up to R. L. Gambol, state archi-
tect, by the board of administration.
Work was delayed on the Odmra-
tories owing to the high price of
building material. Two weeks ago it
was discovered that half of the ap-
preparation which was available for
the fiscal year of 1922 would revert
to the state treasury if not used by
July 1. The original appropriation
of a million dollars for the girls
dormatories was cut to 100000 by
the legislature and this amount was
divided in half for each year of the
two composing the biennium. Of
the $25O,OOO the State University at
Lawrence was to receive $4,000,
the State Agricultural College at
Manhattan, $112, 900; Hays Normal,
$4,000; and the rest was to be divid
ed equally between Pittsburg and
Emporia.
Must Be By July 1
Now it appears that unless the first
appropriation is not working by July
/. the schools do not get their new
housing. The drafting force of the
architects office has been increased
to get the preliminary plans to-
gether so that bids can be advertised
for by the middle of May. 1t will be
necessary to let the contracts by then
to secure this years funds for the
dormatories. Members of the board
estimate that thirty per cent can be
saved on the building construction
of the dormatories over any bids that
could have been secured a year ago.
1t is planned to complete the new
buildings by the fall terms.

 Did you ever happen to meet John T. Barnes of Buttee, Mcnt. ?" asked A. NJ Barnes, an oldtime Alaska sourdough. who for sixty years has prospected all over the west and north.
 He generally wore dark glasses, because he had sore eyes. Along about 1886 he put up grubstakn for my partner, Dick Poplin. and Dick came out of Alaska in> 1878 .yith S97,0O0. After leaving Dick in the Stickeen l decided to play lone hand. came down to British Columbia. where I worked for T while in the Silver King mine. From British Columbia I went back to Montana. I struck Butte in the fall of 1885. I took up a couple Of fractions hear the Bluebird. One I called the Golden Note Fraction and the other the Alaskan Fraction ran across Steve Fleming, who was buying up the Bluebird and other neighboring claims for m English syndicate. I had grubsta k ed Steve in Colorado and also in 1 the Black Hills. I had furnshe l him drink money and tobacco money , so now l thought here was his chance to reciprocate and buy my ! fractions. He didn't see 1t that way so l sold these two fractions for s125O, mere tithe of their real yaIue for I was broke and needed the money.
 "There was a fine bunch of men in Butte in those days, became well acquainted with Lee Mantle who owned the Butte 1ntermountaln and, by the way, your father was editor of the Butte Intermountain at that time, and I met him. l also met a teacher there. He lives here in Portland now Daniel D. Sears is another man l knew.

Michaels all right, and from there we got to Nome. where the old Chicago went on the beach and her timbers still lie there. That was in tho summer of 1899. put in that summer with a long tom in the beach diggings. making S2o to $50 day Up near the native graveyard some of the miners rock ed out $2OO to 5000 day. There was a very rich streak of ruby sand on the beach there.
 "In the spring of 1900 the big rush from the States came in and more than 50 ships rode in the off, ing and more than 35.0O0 tenderfeet landed on the beach. I staked a claim June IS that year on the Nome river. IS miles above Nome city. I secured four 30-acre claims and sold them for S9500. The man sold them to wrote letter to friend of his, who took them over for S15,000. In other words the man I sold them to made over SaO0O from 2-cent postage stamp, which is good interest on your money. The reason I sold my claims in such hurry was that word had come to me that my wife, who was at Golden. Colo. was sick. When l went out side I had a little over S12,000 in my jeans. I took my wife to Den yer They took an Nray of her and told me she had cancer. Dur; ing the next 12 months I spent most of that s12,OOO with the doctors and the hospitals. We buried her on the hillside above Golden. When I had paid every bill, including the funeral expenses. l had just S12o loft from my S12,0OO. which was just enough to take me back to Nome.
 My wife and had been married i in 1877. Her name was Lucy Nix on and she came from Cherokee, Iowa. To us four children were born. Louis, the eldest lives in 1 Montana, Mary, our next child, mar I ,ied w. B. Searls. He is a con l ductor on the Union Pacific. They live at The Dalles.
