The. diversified natural resources
of the state of Kansas, makes it one
of the richest in the union. It is
now, and destined to be even greater,
not only as an agricultural, stock
raising state, but one of the greatest
manufacturing states in the entire
west. 1t is indeed land of golden
opportunities with esual rights for
all who desire health, prosperity and
expansion.
The eyes of the entire business
world are today centered on the west,
because of the vast field of resources
that are open for development and
the demand that is occasioned for
greater production along all lines.
Publicity is necessary to acquaint
the people in every section with the
possibilities in the state of Kansas
and it is for this purpose that the
Free Press is today inaugurating
campaign to exploit these resources.
The period of-depression felt over
the entire United States Occasioned
by the curtailment of speculative
money and the reorganization plan
following the greatest was in history
has been keenly felt. Various phases
of propaganda been circulated which
has had tendency to discourage the
non thinker and those who are not
familiar with the cause and effect.
To show the vast field of resources
existing in Ellis county, in the true
light. is bound to have stimulating
effect. Any man who feels depressed,
If shown what his possibilities are
for the future, will get new courage
and forget temporary troubles. 1t

Good Roads in County

A good system of roadways trav-
erses the entire county making travel
pleasant. These roads are constantly
being builded and repaired and thou
sands~of dollars are spent on them
annually. Hays will without a oues-
tion of doubt develop into a tourist
center and supply station due to the
heavy traffic that will come over the
Golden Belt Highway and the new
Union Pacific Highway making this
the logical highway to the Rocky
Mountains of Colorado.
The Free Press wishes to appeal to
every reader to assist in this cam
paign by mailing his paper to some
friend in other states to acquaint him
with this field of resources. The work
necessary. to make the campaign pos
sible has been diligent, hard and ex-
pensive. The citizens of the city and
county should take maximum -advan-
tage of this and herald to the outside
environment and possibilities of Ellis
county. Extra copies of these papers
can be secured by notifying the pub
Usher.
With its many resources being
steadily developed the beautiful me-
tropolis of this peerless county of
Ellis, an empire in itself, will con-
tinue to grow and prosper and keep
pace with the rapid settlement and
development of the grandest, richest
and most productive commonwealth
in the sisterhood of states, and those
living here and enjoying these priv
ileges and possibilities, extend well

county.

and constructive manner.

THE CLOSING EVENTS OF
FESTIVAL WEEK
(By NJ. H. j.


Recital Thursday-Elma. Creigh-
ton, Contralto; Jessie Granger, Daisy
Pierson, Piano.
The beautiful opening by Miss
Granger was fully up to her well
known skill on the piano.
Miss Creighton-Prog. No. ?. gave
two selections from grand opera; she
makes fine figure on the stage, with
out frills of any kind; the tones of
her voice are pure and made without
noticeable efforts
We were disappointed that she did
not sing "a Song of India" that we
might compare the effort-in which
we had supreme confidence-with
that of~Mme. Zendt who sang the
same piece; anyway we are satisfied
with our home artist. Miss Pierson,
on the piano, gave promise of unusual
excellence.
Artist Concert, Thursday Evening
Nine. Zendt, Soprano; Ernest
Davis, Tenor; Gustaf Holmquist,
Basso.
We are indebted to these artists
for an evening of great enjoyment.
1t was demonstrated to the satisfac-
ton of everybody that a Hays aud
fence is determined to have war
quantities of music for their money,
to which the Trio generously re-
sponded.
Friday Afternoon
One of the fine features of the
afternoon was the Overture-Orpheus,
with its solo passages. by the F. H.
N. Band, the Wedding of the Winds,
and the instrumental Quartette com
posed of Edmund Brungardt, Cornet;
Duke Himebaugh, Baritone; c. Malm-
berg, Trombone, and E. Oyer, Cornet |
Mrs. Sidenius Zendt's response to
an encore, one of the most beautiful
of all her efforts; that song indeed
was the chief feature of the after
noon. Prof. Roberts at the piano is
always a guarantee of excellence.
Southern Songs by the Band was
fitting close of a splendid program.
Friday, p. m, Recital by Gustaf
Holmquist, BassO
Much of the program was by
masters in written music, and Mr..
Holmquist is always equal to a cor
rect, appreciative recital. The range
includes the dramatic, comic, pastoral
and the program one of the best of
the week. Prof. Roberts at the piano.
All the efforts of the week should
be acknowledged in print, otherwise
many highly priced recitals will be
overlooked and go unrewarded which
the Free Press very much regrets;
but we find it impossible to give all
the details.
I asked Elizabeth what P. E. o.
stood for; she replied: Stupid man!

footed up about $4,000, and Schu-

herself and her aids. This great tri-
1nph is due to Western Kansas, the
short grass country, the plains region

CALDER WOULD AMEND
POSTAL PENSION LAW
Senator Praises Loyalty of
Employees.

Senator Calder told meeting OF
postal employees last night at Maen-
nerchor Hall, 2O3 East Fifty-sixth
street, that in the next session of Con-
gress he will work for amendment to
the retirement law to make its provi-
sions more liberal.
Senator Calder lauded the loyalty AMI
unselfishness of employees of the postal
service and said he has worked in their
interest with pleasure.
1.-TWO years ago 1 was glad to assist
in the enactment of the retirement law,
which your organization had been urg-
ing for a quarter of a century" he
said This law of course. is not en-
tirely satisfactory in its provisions. and
there is legislation pending now to
make it more liberal in its treatment Of
men who have arrived at retirement
age.
II am quite sure that the people gen.
orally do not understand that the civil
service employee pays practically all OF
this pension himself. From the day he
enters the service until the day he re-
tires there is deducted from his pay a
certain percentage of his compensa-
ton. which is applied TO the general re-
tirement fund. and that fact removes
the last objection on the part of any
one to providing in the law that this
retirement pay shall be sufficiently
large to take care Of the superannuated
employee in the proper manner when
the time comes for him to retire from
the service
