HEWS & KOTES OF THE FORT
Gathered, by the Special Correspondent of the Free Press.
Thirty-one letters to former Nor
mal boys now in the service of Uncle
Sam hae already been forwarded
from one of the English classes of
the school. The four best letters in '
this batch were those by Katherine
Mitchell, Esther Reemsnyder, Flor
ence M. Laubmann and Julia E.
Stone. f
The Free Press prints below a copy
of Miss Mitchell's letter to Elmo
Meade:
xxxx
Hays, Kansas, Sept., 26, 1917.
Mr. Elmo Meade,
15th, Inf. Co. L.,
Am. Ex. Force, France.
Dear Soldier Boy:
No doubt you have already glanced
at the signature at the close of this
letter and are somewhat disappointed
to find there the name of a perfect
stranger.
Well, let s forget that we have not
been formally introduced and I will
try to tell you of some of the changes
in and around Fort Hays Normal
since you left. I fear that I do not
even know the hour, the day or the
month you left, but this I do know
that you were the first Normal boy
to arrive m France and 1 surely of
fer you my congratulations. I might
add that 1 felt highly honored in hav
ing this privilege of writing to you,
thrust upon me.
Probably it is now time to tell you
that I am simply obeying the "powers
that be, for I am a r reshman taking
College English under whom: Well,
I'll leave that to your imagination
just now. You are a soldier and
when you are commanded to hre, you
fire; I am a Freshman and when I
am commanded to write, 1 write, ev en
though it be nothing but words.
Well, enough of this comedy
what do -you want to know? As
everything is new to me here, let s
go through the buildings together.
The coliseum looks rather imposing
with its brand new flag fluttering
away in the breeze, so let's see if it
has something besides looks. the
foyer is an index of what we may ex
pect and 1 11 say it is a beauty ana
will be even more attractive when
the trophy case with footballs, pic
tures and cups is brought over from
the administration building and
placed in its position of state.
Mr. Bicker's office occupies a
prominent position to the right end
of the foyer, with the faculty room
at the left end. You will find Mr.
Wood hammering away at black
smithing and mathematics on the first
floor. Wooster, Matthew, Rouse and
Davis hold fort on the second with
the finer arts soaring skyward 'till
they reach the rafters of the third
floor. Here we hear a voice saying
"the difficulty is all in your head and
not in your throat" and we know
that Malloy is not far away. Here
also are Wooton, Wille, Roberts,
Pestana, Christopher, Mrs. Malloy
and Hamilton.
What's doing at the administration
building some moving I'll say
glad I'm not the housekeeper. Park
er has Malloy's old office and. when
the library is moved Miss Schoenhals
will have part of that space, Shively
having the part where the period
icals now are. Room 18 has consent
ed to become a life pardner with the
museum and ere long the partition
will be a thing of the past. The Col
lege English room has also felt the
progressive move and will be satis
fied with nothing less than the
old office, with Harvey's sanctum
where President Lewis once held
sway.
The entire down stairs of the In-
dustrial building is to be given over
to "eats." I'll bet that's where you
shine, isn't it, and yes by the way

Probably you might like to know
something of the personnel of th
new faculty members: J. E. Rouse,
graduate of University of Wisconsin,
comes as assistant to Mr. Matthews;
Rei Christopher from Warren, Ohio,
soloist in Chautauqua orchesra at
Chautauqua, N. Y., takes Mr. Knorr s
place as head of the band; LoRee
Cave as assistant in domestic science
and teacher of German and Latin;
Olivia Youngquist, takes the place of
Miss Stone in the rural schools, and
Marie Hamilton as assistant m piano.
I wonder if you played football when
you w-ere here. I think Uncle Sam
my must have some of our boys at
any rate, for there were only t-hir-ten
out to the first practice two of
them letter men. Eighteen has been
the highest number at any time but
others are expected m this week,
among them Kex Welty, is run
nr and Compton. Mr. Harvev
has taken a Dicture of the
team. for the Estate paper, oh,
we expect to be doing things before
long. Have games on with Southwest
ern, Haskell Indians, St. Mary's,
Baker University, Salina Wesleyan,
Bethany and Cooper, which is to be
the Thanksgiving game and played
at Hays.
Oh, say, I suppose you remember
your first assembly meeting here at
school and how you were impressed
with President Lewis' fatherly ad
vice. Those who have been here for
several years say it does not vary from
year to year, but is an annual affair.
Lest you have forgotten some of that
speech I am going to try and recall
some of it, for it was my first exper
ience and I really thought it was
good. He said homesickness was a
condition of the stomach and not the
head, so if you ever dare have any of
the symptoms don't forget his mirror
cure. He promised to write letters
for the girls to "his" parents if they
were not receiving as many as they
thought they ought. The spiel on
fresh air night air not dangerous,
sleep with your head out of the win
dow, become so strong that you can
carry your trunk home in the spring,
rather than be carried home yourself
on a stretcher from overwork.
We "have no bell system as yet, but
mum's the word, President Lewis
contemplates a steam whistle and
then there will be no excuses for tar
diness at classes.
Wish you could have seen the par
ade of last Thursday," when all of
Hays turned out to see the first in
stallment of drafted boys leave for
Port Riley. The Normal students and
faculty marched in a body, led by the
band, to the M. E. church where the
line of march was formed. America
is realizing as never' before what it
means to give her best for a just
cause. . Hays is doing royally in her

night, presenting "Joan the Woman"
with Geraldine Farrar playing, and
I'll say it is some picture. The set
ting is in France and unites the past
with the present forcibly, showing
how that the spirit which dominated
Joan of Arc is still alive in the people
today.
The Golden Belt Fair is in progress
this week and from all accounts prom
ises to be worth while. The Normal
students are to have the "Land of
Folly" and have been busy for sev
eral days getting things in readiness.
Thera is to be a chute-the-chutes, a
human merry-go-round, a baby incu
bator, an ancient corn-crib, how to

to know the receipt for raisng young
men, so if you do not know, but
want to, try the alarm clock, or is it
a bugle call that is tried on you?
And now I have a favor to ask,
not for myself alone but for the
school. Mr. Harvey is trying to keep
in touch with all of our boys who are
now in service and has devised this
scheme for doing so, so will you write
us something about yourself, even
though it be very brief, for we do
want you who are at the front in our
stead to feel that we in the class room
are with you in cur sympathies and
our prayers. You r.iav write direct
to me if you will, or if you prefer, to
JMr. Harvey or any other you may
choose. At any event please let us
know if you have a change of ad
dress. Kindest regards from the fac
ulty and student body.
Sincerely.

According to President W. A.
Lewis the most valuable man hi the
Fort Hays Kansas Normal School,
A. F. Bieker, will go Thursday, with
the third national army contingent.
President Lewis made it Monday,
the occasion of his first war speech
since the school opened. Several
times duringtho tribute which he paid
Beiker, the student body and faculty
broke into prolonged cheers. As he
finished his voice broke and he chok
ingly adjourned general assembly. He
said : "It will be a practical impossibil
ity to get anyone who can do for this
school what Bieker has done. For
four years he has kept every detail
of the institution at his finger tips.
He never forgot. His patience was
lasting."?
At a faculty meeting late Monday,
a special feature" of some kind was
planned in Beiker's honor. Every
one conected with the school from
the heads of the departments to the
newest Freshman always said when
any difficultv arose no matter what,
"Ask Mr. Bieker." "Ask Bieker,"
became a slogan to get out of trouble
with. Beiker has been a combination
of business manager, registrar, and
secretary of the school for four years.
He is a graduate of the school.
His parents are Germans, substan
tial Ellis county farmers.
Bieker did not claim exemption for
himself. His attitude was that if the
state claimed it for him, he would
accept exception if obtained, but
that as he had no one dependent up
on him, he would not claim it person
ally. xxxx
A banquet was given m honor of
A. F. Bieker by the faculty of the
Normal School Tuesday night at
8:30. Henry Edward Malloy was
toastimvter. The responses were
made oy r.. u. aiattnew, aumcc ;
Miss Deuny E. Prussener, "The Spice
cf His Life:" P. Caspar Harvey, "Mr.
Bieker and the Faculty;" Miss Lula
B. Bice, "Just a Word." C. A. Shive
ly, "Ask Mr. Bieker;" and President
W. A. Lewis, "In Appreciation." At
the conclusion of President Lewis
speech he presented in behalf of the
faculty a handsom traveling compan
ion to Mr. Bieker. Mr. Malloy made
the speech of acceptance. Among
those nresent were: Mr. Roberts. Miss
Condit, Mr. .Read and Mrs. Read, Mr.
Rouse, Mr. Wooster, Mr. Christopher
and Mrs. Christopher, Miss Prussener,
Miss N'ickles, Miss Bice, Miss Agnew,
Mr. Speer and Mrs. Speer, Mrs. Har
ris, Miss Grass, Miss Hamilton, Miss
Flarider Miss Wooton, Mis Willie,
.Air. Shively ard Mrs. Shively, Mr. Da
vis and Mrs. Davis, Mr. Malloy and
Mrs. Malloy, Mr. Lewis and Mrs.
Lewis. Mr Bieker, Mr. Matthew and
Mrs. Matthew, Mr. Lee ard Mrs. Lee,
Mr. Parker and Mrs. Parker. Miss
Cave, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Collyer and
Mrs. Collyer, Mr. Wood and Mrs.
Wood, Mr. Cave and Mrs. Cave, Miss
Schoenhsls, Miss White, Miss Young
quist. Miss Pestana, Miss Faubian.
The toast of President Lewis was in
appreciation of Mr. Bieker's services
to the school and his desire to serve
his country- Among other things
President Lewis said: "Mr. Bieker
could 'tell you exactly what you want
ed know without telling you a thing
at all. : ou have no idea of what Mr.
Bieker was required to know, I do
because he often tried to explain it
to me. He went through four years of
exacting service often 365 days at a
time makincr seven days a week with-
j out making a single mistake. Inis
i is a wonderful record. This is a war
of efficiency and Mr. Bieker will go
to the tops on that score alone. Mr.
Bicker's personal attitude concerning
exemption was well known. He said
he would accept it if it came to him
unasked. But this institution could
not bring itself to be selfish enough
to a:?!; that its needs be placed above
those of the country and the world
and exemption was not asked. Mr.
Bieker will go to Camp Funston as
a plain everyday private. He will
not ask for a clerical position. What
soever honor comes to him, must
come after his superior officers have
discovered his abilities from his car
rying his rifle."

President Lewis went to Topcka,
Thursday, to attend the first meet
ing of the new Kansas Executive
Committee appointed recently by
Herbert Hoover.
xxxx
The bell system at the Normal has
given place to a whistle signalling de
vice to call and dismiss classes. As
yet it has worked some little confu
sion because the fellow who is to
blow the whistle frequently varies
five cr six minutes in marking off
the class divisions during a fifty min
ute period.

Several county newspapers come
to our desk every week in which we
notice- Montgomery Ward & Co.s ad
vertising, and some of the ads are
quarter page size. These publishers
no doubt became weary boosting for
their town in general and re
ceiving in return practically no
advertising from the home mer
chants. Under such conditions
they are fully justified in con
tracting with outside advertisers. It's
a business proposition. The local
newspaper of today, that is wide
awake, furnishes good, live local
news service every week, will get and
hold a circulation but it is necessary
to carry a crtain amount of advertis
ing all the time in order to make
the business profitable- And there
are plenty of advertisers who are glad
to get the space the up-to-date local
papers have for sale. If home mer- A
chant's don't want the space they have
no claim on the newspaper man's
business nor can the latter be admen-
epts outside contracts
his business pay.

j nor outsider cares to do business in n
place reeking with profanity, dirt and
incompetence. Service, honesty and
fairness is the long magnet that
draws business. 3Iuffiing always
falls dovn when accompanied by
short weights and inferior goods. You
can't fool the people with religion

game the easiest person in the world
for you to fool is your own simtIe
