Reno county has the one avowed
Democratic aspirant for the Demo-
cratic nomination for congress in
the Seventh district. He is none
other than John Colopy, of Turon.
Collopy is well known in Reno
county and western Kansas. Collopy
came to Kansas some years ago, a
youth from Ohio. All he had when
he landed in Reno county was en-
thusiasm. He still has the enthusi-
asm, plus reasonable amount of
this worlds goods. Any man who
will run for the Democratic nomina-
ton for congress gives prima facie
evidence of possessing enthusiasm.
Collopy is making an active can
vass of the district. His. platform is
short. He favors the repeal of the
ch-Cummins Transportation act,
because the act discriminates against
the Kansas farmer and shipper in
freight rates. He is also in favor of
a soldiers bonus Hutchinso Ga
zette.

so Judged by visitors who are in a pos
ition to know. N
Sixty-seven per cent of the students
are from farm homes. Eighty per
cent of the FREEMAN class is boys.
Mrs, Emily X. Hoelcel, the princi-
pal says, "Altho the Freshman class
is large this year, next year will show
a decided increase"
At present Mrs. Emily X. Hoecel,
and her assistant, Miss Hazel Shop
ard are supervising three years of
High school work. The school is now
approved for three years work and
will be a four year accredited high
school next year.
The building is used as commun-
| ity center. Basket Ball games, Ly-
ceum course under the management of
the High School students, plays given
by the high school and local amateures
are all enjoyed in the spacious audi
forum.
The dedication exercises of this new
building were held in the auditorium.
The music was provided by Miss Fan
ME Gray and was very fine which was
evidenced by the appreciation of the
audience. The quartette composing,
Miss Gray, Mrs. Buddenburg, Messers
Ralph CcCue and Buddenburg render
ed "Carmina" with Mrs. Sturgeon at
the piano. Mrs. Buddenburg in her
pleasing voice sang mighty LAX A

vioin. Mr.. Clayton Koufman gave a
very fine violin solo, "Liebe Freude".
Professor H NJ. Cutter, head of the
Rural Educational Department at the
Kansas State Normal, gave an address
on "The Importance of Education.
The mastery way in which he develop
ed the evolution of education was very
interesting. He also brot out the val
ue of esthesic training which after all
a final test by which education might
be measured rather than by the abil-
ity to solve a mathematical problem.
He aso explained the Educational
Code Commission" which our formost |
are looking forward to with
great anticipation for the betterment
Of our rura children. Most of the lat
ter are not having square deal at
present. Thru the teachers under Prof
Cutters supervision he is in close con-
tact with the needs of the country boy
and girl.
: Thru the curtesy of Mr.. Howard, DR..
Frank Neff of Hutchinson was secur-
I'd for an address. His subject was
divided into four parts. He proved
hat water and fire were perils as well
Is blessings. In our ystem OF educa-
ion is often too much ideal and not
enough of the real and practical. Also
many young people were mislead to
believe that mental power was great
er than moral power and disregard
hose who had made possible their
education and comfort. Finally with
Ill the gathering of knowledge, the
of the Greatest Teacher
should not be forgotten and without
aith and preparation for the spiritual
world; life would be incomplete. DR..
Ieff is very forceful speaker and the
essence of his address will often be re-
allied.

IRoNToN, OHIO, is
STRONG FOR THE A. P.
Cincinnati Auto Club to Mark Route
Through Ohio Kentucky Rep
resented at Ironton

Ironton, Ohio, has two newspa-
pers, and the issues before and after
the big A. P. Highway meeting here
were devoted principally to news of
the meeting.
We do not know just how big a
city Ironton Ohio, is, but the fact that
one of the papers was a ten-page
daily leads us to believe that it is a
city of some size.
And what they think of the A. p.
Highway is a plenty. Both papers
are strong for the highway and the
fact that Cincinnati Auto Club is
marking the highway across Ohio is
sufficient guarantee that the route
is not considered a one-town affair.
We note in the write-up of the
meeting had delegates from Russell,
Ashland and Cattleburg, Kentucky,
and Huntington, Charleston and
Beckley, West Virginia, were present
and took part in the meeting.
] w. Farmer of Pratt, was among
the speakers, as was President Rus
sen of FIT. Scott, and Mr.. Farmer
told the folks of Ohio about the great
meeting at Logan, New Mexico.
Do you not think that this is of
some benefit to the country aside
from the benefits of the Highway?
1t brings the people of the eighteen
states through which the A. p. passes
into much closer relationship and
better understanding of each other.
AS an advertisement for settlers no
proposition we could help put over
will have as much result.
Let's all get together and build
a fine road across Seward county and
let every county on either side of
us do the same and when the Califor-
MIA travel is routed this way, we will
see great benefts--in dollars-in set
tiers, and in friendly feeling of the
people of states who are now igno-
rant of conditions here

The audience arose and sang "Amer

After which many visitors were shown
thru the building, while others group
ed about to visit. So ended happy
evening.
