COMPENSATION {?

Last week for the first time we
published House Bill No. AL.
That law puts it up squarely to you
and me on November 7th, 1922,
whether or not we want the State
of Kansas to pay every Kansas SOL
dier $1.00 for every day served in
the army. It viii take S25, 0,OOO.
to do that, and we will have to pay in
taxes. 1t will cost 39c. for every
$1,OOO.OO of property for twenty-five
years. AS the valuation of the state
increases, of course, the cost will be
less.
Do we want to do it? It is true
the boys were paid the big sum of
$1.OO to $3.50 per day, board and
clothes while the fellows who did not
enlist had jobs crowded on them for
$500, $500 to $1,000 per day during
a good share of the time the boys
were away. Fifteen other states have
already paid their boys something
and Iowa, Florida, Illinois, Indiana,
! Maryland, Montana and Pennsylvania
will vote on the same day whether or
not to pay their boys anything for
the time they served.
How will the First Ward, City of
Hays, and Ellis County vote on this
question? This time the boys cannot
put it over by themselves. They need
your help, and to many of the boys
from $500 to 100000 will be very
| welcome There is ono tbiDO fbav,
cannot escape and that is they viii
have to help to pay the tax.
1t is my firm conviction that Ellis
county voters, upon reflection, wdlI
vote unanimously to pay the boys
the $1.OO for every day in service,
Now, altogether, let's boost the
bonus.

comes to US from the bureaus; there
are professors in the colleges and

departments of our public institu-
tions are ready to do this education

/ not take this matter up with our
neighbors and the college heads and
! cooperate in the presentation of a
| 1928 chautauqua that will eclipse
/ all that we have hitherto had.
The above from the Stockton Re-
cord is a move in the right direction,
| The chautauquas have degenerated to
but little better than a colored min
strel show. Hays alone with Prof
Malloy as "chief engineer" could
beat the "soclzs" off of any chautau-
qua that ever toured this circuit, and
with Stockton and several other
towns we could mention, all who have
excellent talent in that line, an aggre
cation could readily be secured that
would beat any chautauqua in exist
ence-not alone in talent but il
morals. Why pay $500 or $4,000 fO1

THE LAND OF BEGINNING
AGAIN


I wish that there were some wonderful place
Called the Land of Beginning Again.
Where all our mistakes and all our heart
And all of our poor. selfish grief
Could be dropped like shabby old coat Ge
And never ever put on again.
wish we could come on it all unaware.
Like a hunter who finds a lost trail;
And wish that the one whom our blindness
had done.
The greatest injustice of all
Could be at the gates. like old friend that
For the eOmrade he's gladdest to hail
We would find all the things We intended to
But forget and remembered too late.
Little praise sunspoken. little promises
And all of the thousand and one
Little duties neglected that might have per
The day for one less fortunate.
1t wouldn't be possible not to be kind
In the Land of Beginning Again;
And the misjudge and the ones
whom grudged.
Their moments of victory here.
Would find in the grasp of our loving hand
More than penitent lips could explain.
For what had been hardest we'd know had
been best
And what had seemed loss would be gain.
For there isn't a sting that viii not take
wing
When we've faced it and laughed it away
And I think that the laughter is most what
were after

THE LEGION SPEED CLASSIC

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. 2.-The
American Legion of Missouri and
Kansas are preparing for one of the
greatest undertakings in the history
of the veterans organization. 1t is
the 3OO-mile international speed
classic to dedicate the opening of the
new $5OO,OOO speedway in Kansas
City. Under an agreement between
the two Legion departments and the
Kansas City Speedway Association,
the Legion is to reap the financial
benefit in what promises to be the
greatest and fastest motor car race
ever held on a speedway.
The date, September 10th, will
bring into being the gigantic plant
being constructed I'M Kansas City.
The race itself will be contested by
the foremost drivers of the world, in
cluding Jimmy Murphy, worlds speed
champion, Ralph De Palma, Tommy
Milton, Roscoe Sarles, and more than
a dozen others whose names are
synonymous with all that automobile
racing implies.
The Legion will institute an inten-
sive ticket selling campaign design
! ed to cover every community of 500
population or greater in. the two
states. In addition to its participa-
ton in the race itself, the veterans
organization has been entrusted with
the dedication of tn great mile and a
quarter track. This will take the
! form of a splendid and impressive
ceremony to be participated in by
! the national officers of the Legion and
many other notable persOnages. AS
honored guests to the event, the Le-
gion plans to invite among others,
Generals Pershing, Crowder, Har-
board, Secretary of the War and
Navy departments, Admiral Coontz,
and the governors, u. S. senators and
/ congressman from Missouri, Kansas
and surrounding states.
Much interest has already been
aroused throughout both states over
the forthcoming race. Plans are
now being made in score or more OF
larger towns for special trains to be
operated to Kansas City for the great
speed classic.
The race will carry with it cash
prizes totahng more than $4,000. Il
will be operated under the direction
of the A. A. A, the governing body
of motor car racing in the United
States, which gives the race its official
status.
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, the fam.
Gus American ace, will act as starter
of the great race. That all standing
records will be broken is assured by
the fact that the new track is being
built for a speed of 12O miles an hour
At p 80 O'Clock Monday, the cir
Gus parade of Patterson's Animal Cir
Gus took place. At nine o'clock peo-
pie from all parts of Ellis, Trego

GETTY is CHARIvARIED

War whOOps, pistol shots, sounding
brass and steel which would have
done credit to the Indians of Frontier
Days greeted the westbound passen-
gers of the 1852 evening train last
Friday evening. The occasion was
the celebration of the marriage of
one of the young men of Hays.
Four wobbly wheels to which was
attached a few boards, a trail of tin
cans and a steady span of mules was
the conveyance which brought Hays
popular newly-weds, Mr.. and Mrs R.
E. Getty, into the city for an old
fashioned charivari.
The surprised couple had been en-
ticed to the home of Mr.. and Mrs
Chester Hudson, for a four-cOurse
dinner, which gave the employees OF
the Fort Hays Experiment Station
and friends of the bride and groom
the opportunity to start them or
their memorable journey into the
city.
The bride and groom seemingly
enjoyed the event and took the affair
/ as good naturedly as the merry crowC
which followed the procession. After
/ the downtown affair was over, the
newly-weds rewarded the merry
makers with ice cream and cake a

other varieties, according to A. F.

On the 3rd of August. Pete Soy
manski while in Hays, was called to
the phone to hear that his barn was
on fire, and upon arrival at home
found his barn a complete loss with
contents, but fortunately Pete had
taken out his insurance with the
Farmers Alliance Insurance Com
pany and on the 8th of August-just
five days after the fire, the adjuster
was out and adjusted the loss by pay
ing Mr. ScymansH the full amount of
his insurance.
Mr.. Farmer, did you ever stop to
figure or look into your insurance
company. According ito statistics the
Farmers Alliance Insurance Company
has today SIS, ,O37, ,9O2.46 in force in
Kansas. In 1920 this company wrote
$50, ,O15, 1866. of fire insurance. 1t
has never failed to pay all its just
losses punctually without any quib-
bling, as in this loss. It's rates are
better, it's policies the best, and since
its inception has saved to its policy
holders the sum of $2,295, 100000.

Gotham Has Lady Mic" Shop for Women

NEW YORK.-This city has a Lady
~ Me- shop-the smoke mart for
Manhattan's maids and matrons. Mrs
b. A. Cassidy, who came to Manhattan
from Kansas City, Mo-, met Miss Har-
riet Douglas of Philadelphia. Observ.
Ing the place the cigarette holds in the
lives of women here, they saw a
chance for money making in opening
q little smoke salon in a fashionable
location. Accordingly they planned
the furnishings and installed the stock
of the Lady Mic" shop, and invited
Gotham women to attend.
And they did attend. But more fire.
quently the clientele consists Of
women from Denver and Fort Worth,
Cleveland and Detroit, Atlanta. Gin
cinnati and Boston. Mrs. Cassidy said:
1T is not only women of this big
city who smoke. They smoke more in
public than do the women of some of
the smaller cities where restaurants
and clubs have not yet installed smok-
ing rooms and begun to encourage the
feminine cigarette.
MANY of our customers are women
visiting the city. OF course, the novel
ty Of visiting a woman's tobacco shop
attracts some. But most Of them have
their preference of brands Of tobacco
that are frequently out Of the ordi-
nary.

Besides standard makes Of cigarettes,
the feminine smoker buys cigarettes
of particular and preferred blends,
done In fancy wrappers. Black and
white stripes are popular. The all
black wrapper with the gilt monogram
is another STARTER. Otherwise, the
papers range through all tints and
combination of tints.
Holders are in many shapes and
sizes. The long, slender black one re-
mains a favorite. Amber holders are
liked, especially when they are ringed
with small %turquoises. Painted glass
holders are considered very much the
thing to wear with sport toys.
Finally, for women who wish to be
really up-to-date there is the little
briar wood pipe, set with jewels, or
painted In strange designs.
