Mrs. Alvin Seelye and daughter from
the south line of the county were in
town shopping on Monday, the first
me in several months, and were much
pleased with the improvements our
city is making.
Monday was Labor Day a public
holiday so there was no school but.
TueFday morning: the bell of the Public
School rang and from every direction
trooned the children for another siege
with the books and pencils.
The Jonah Nulton new residence in
the south east part of town, near the
Presbyterian parsonage, looms up with
its two Rtoriep, and will be a big im

Down at Wilson ALL the stores close
at 6:30 every night but Saturday and
everybody seems pleased with the
arrangement.
In our western counties the price of
land has been high, much land sold,
and many have invested the surplus
money received in buying Autos and
at every station many are seen on the
arrival of the trains.
With all the reports of bad crops in
western Kansas this year, the friends
of Queenie Cox Wilson will be glad to
hear that they have been in luck at
their farm home in Gove county, south
o f Grinnell, having fine wheat and
hundreds of tons of all kinds of feed
for stock.
Mitchell county this week paid off
its $50,000 of 30 year bonds, issued to

The Editor of the Oakley Graphic
visited Hays lately and here is what he
says of the State Normal school located
here: "
A GREAT SCHOOL,
State Normal at Hays City doing
Wonders for Western Kansas.
Most everyone has heard of t.he
Western Branch of the State Normal
at Hays City. To the average person
it is thought to be a very small school
and not overly capable of giving ad
vanced instruction. A trip through
the experimental farm and the two fine
buildings of the school will cause a
change of countenance. Th visitor 13
surprised at the elegant appointments
of the buildings and grounds. The
school could not be located on a prettier
or more commanding view. The
grounds are not as yet thoroughly de
veloped but are in very nice condition.
The main building is equipped with fine
large, airy, recitation rooms and ele
gant assembly room, the finest in the
west half of Kansas, splendid Iabra
torie3, a fine library, and all together
it looked mighty inviting. The main
building has three stories and a base
ment. Thirteen instructors are em
ployed and is expected that the atten
dance this year will pass the four hun
dred mark. The Gymnasium in the
vernacular of the students is a "dan
dy." It is in a separate building from
the main building and was erected at a
very great cost for the convenience of
the student?. The athletic field is near
the main building and is splendidly ap
pointed. Profs. Beach and Christenson
showed us around over the buildings.
Prof. Picken was too busy enrolling
students for the coming term to have
anything to do with visitors.
The school is a splendid one espe
cially fcr Western Kansas. Hays City
and Western Kansas ought to be proud
of it. It gives the young men and
young women from this part of the
state a chance to get advanced train
ing close to home.
A number of Logan County students
are there at this time and during the
summer months the enollment from
this county was as high as 15. It is a
good school and we want to see more
of the boys and girls take aduantage
of it.
