In exploiting the resources of Ellis

the cowboy has gone, but the Indian

Ellis county is but unit in this de-
yelopment, yet it can truly be said
that the county is an empire within
itself and is one of the factors in
making Kansas. such a progressive
state and helps it maintain the en-
viable reputation it possesses in the
commercial world of today.
To the tourist, speeding across the

glimpsed in passing, but to the dis

Schools is one of the largest problems
that confront the Normal School
presidents. Last year over 800 stu

Der was taken care of with ease and
comfort. The hospitable citizens of
Hays threw open their homes and wei
coined the students. This year the
summer school will probably number
over 1000. Since last summer al
most one hundred new homes have
been built in Hays and these will also
be thrown open, so that Hays antici-
pates little difficulty in taking care of
its summer school,

JOHN GRAY IS OUT TO WIN

The announcement of John NJ.
Gray as republican candidate for con-
gress from this, the sixth district,
appears in this issue of the News
Post. We have known for some time
the gentleman chad leaning" in
that direction, but not until Monday
did we have authority to make this
definite announcement
It is safe to presume the majority
of residents of Phillips county are
personally acquainted with John
Gray, as he came here with his, parents
in 1872, and this has been his con-
tinuous home since. He was raised
on a farma near Kirwin, educated in
the country school, the Stockton
academy, and the Salina normal uni
versity. He taught school in this
county several years, was elected
county surveyor when "a years of
age, and served seven years, never
having appeal from his work in this
line, and we wish to say that during
his term of Office he had more land
surveying than anyone who ever held
that office.
In 1909 Mr. Gray was nominated
and elected to serve US in the legis-
lature as representative and held the
office three terms. In 1920 he was
elected state senator from the 10th
district, comprising Norton, Phillips
and Smith counties. In 1905 he
embarked in the hardware and imple-
ment business in the home town of
Kirwin, and in 1918 the Gray-Stagg
Mercantile Co. was organized, becom-
ing one of the strongest business
concerns in. the northwestern part of
the state During his residence in
Kirwin, John Gray has held the office
of mayor, and has been identified
with. every movement for the welfare
of his home town and county.
Mr.. Gray will spend most of his
time between now and the date of
the primary visiting throughout the
district and will meet as many of the
republican voters as is possible. He
is in fine physical condition for cam
paigning and those not personally
acquainted with him will find he is a
go-getter, a tireless worker for the
things he believes right and a fitting
representative for the sixth congress
sional district.-Philli illipsburg News.

ment in this issue of the Free Press.

A PROTEST

Some of the citizens of Hays think
the editor of the Free Press made a
mistake when he printed in his paper
last week, that 'fthe ladies of Hays
are sure of some beautiful flowers, If
they plant tulip bulbs in the fall. We
think someone else is sure'' of
them.
There are numerous complaints
about tulips being stolen. We know
of one instance where there was a
bed of over hundred tulip plants.
They were beautiful and half of them
in bloom; the rest budded. Before
the flowers had a chance to open their
petals to the sunlight of a second day,
they were stolen along with the buds,
and the bed someone had worked SO
hard to make was a sorry looking
sight.
Boys and girls, if you want flowers,
ask for them, don't come at night and
help yourself. Nearly everyone is
willing to share flowers and even If
they are not, it is far better for You
to ask and he refused than to tal1e
that which does not belong to you.
Don't do under the cover of dark
ness that which you would be asham-
er to be seen doing durng the day.
For these evil practices will sooner
or later get you into trouble and
cause your parents sorrow.
Excuse us. Mr.. Editor, for saying
you made a mistake, but you can
Judge by the foregoing whether tive
are sure or not' of our tulips.
We think it would be well for the
younger generation Of Hays to have
some lessons taught on destructive
ness. A Subscriber.

FOR GovERNoR-w. Y. MORGAN

Hutchinson, Kansas, May 18, 1922
The nominating petitions of W. Y.
Morgan were circulated last week at
his home city at Hutchinson. Over
two thousand signatures We're at
tached to the nomination and the
circuIators reported that as they pre-
sented the blank to every Republican
they met, they did not find more than
one or two in hundred who did not
sign.
s'It was one of the most remarkable
testimonials of united support that
could be given" said C. o. Hitch
cock, who had charge of the circula-
tion of the petitions. ''It would be
natural to expect that in a city like
Hutchinson here would be some who
would not give their endorsement,
but we can confidently say to the peo-
pie of the State that Hutchinson is
solidly behind w. Y. Morgan for
Governor for the nomination and
when election day comes in Novem-
Der, believe it will be practically un-
animous for him, as Democrats an
nounced their intentions to give their
votes to Morgan if he were the Re-
publican nominee"
