There is one thing It probably

A nephew of H H. Pierce, with his
wife, visited with Mr.. Pierce and fam
lily, several days. They left Tuesday
night for their home in Portland,
Oregon.
Friday night, Mr.. and Mrs. H. H.
Pierce of East Normal avenue, re-
turned home from their 3OOO-mile
summer trip with their Dodge auto
mobile through Illinois, Iowa, and
other states, reporting a splendid
time, little rain anywhere, and no
accidents. They report Ward Sulli-
van and wife doing well in their
school work in Illinois.
Hon. F. s. Iddings of Logan coun-
ty, was in Hays, Wednesday, on bust
ness and to visit his neighbor, Chas.
Farren, Who is at the Hays hospital
suffering from severe injuries caused
by being run over by a corn binder.
One of his arms and both legs were
broken. He is in a precarious condi-
ton. Mr.. Iddings was twice elected
to represent his county in the State
Legislature.
South Hays is growing by leaps and
bounds. There are changes almost
over night that even puzzle some of
our best citizens. One of Hays COM
tractors who was working on a job in
Southeast Hays, came down early one
morning this week-we don't think he
had been boozing-and couldn't
locate his work. He had to inquire
of citizen where a certain building
which he had been working on, was
located. How's that for the building
push?
Many autoists seem to forget the
danger they are in when they leave
their car on the street at night with
out lights burning. The automobile
law provides that anyone leaving
their car at night on any road or
street without their lights burning,
shall not have any right to collect
any damages if their car is run into
and damaged. This is a common
habit in Hays and has already cost
several unnecessary repair bills.

FAIRVIEw WINS AGAIN

In the best game this season, Fair
view defeated the fast Highland foot
ball team Wednesday afternoon, by
a score of 200. The game was fast
and clean throughout and the local
boys simply outplayed and outgener-
aled the Highland boys. The score
at the end of the second quarter was
90, but in the last half Fairview wore
down her opponents and scored.
So far this season Fairview has
scored 239 points to 16 scored against
them and the team has not lost a
game.-Fairview Enterprise.
