Dear Bill:
Arrived in France some time ago.
Am fine and dandy. This sure is a
lovely country and the climate is
great, the finest I ever saw. .The days
are nice and warm, not too hot, and
the nights are cool. We sure can sleep
fine, the only trouble is we can't
?!eep late enough. I was in England
a while. .Its a beautiful country too,
don't think it has anything on
France. The people are a good many
years behind the times overehere

now I say "over here," ha, ha. How

The Hays Public Library has re
ceived today a request from the
American Library Associations Head
quarters in Washington for more
books from this community for the
men overseas.
The appeal from Washington states
that new novels and good Western
stories, whether new or old. are most
needed. Books by Zane Grey, Rex
Peach, Jack London, Ralph Connor,
Owen Wister and Q Henry are very
popular. The Public Library an
runces that it will receive and for
ward all suitable books that are turn
ed in. It urges'the friends of the sol
ders and sailors, many of whom have
already responded most generously,
to give more books.
The communication received by the
library from the Washington Head
quarters states that over 600,000
books have been sent overseas. The
supply is nearly exhausted and sev
eral hundred thousand more will be
needed soon by the six dispatch offices
which are now shipping books to
France. The books are packed at
these dispatch offices in strong cases,
so buit that they serve as a bookcase.
They go on the decks of transports
n cargo vessels and in naval vessels.
Those that go on the decks of trans-
s are open so that the men may
have reading matter for use on the
voyage. All these books rae gathered
together again., however, replaced in
the cases and delivered to the proper
officipls in France.
In France, the books are distribut
ed by an experienced Librarian, rep
resenting the American Library As
sociation. Most of them go to Y. M.
C. A, Red Cross and Salvation Army
huts," hosoitals and canteens Others
go directly to chaplains and officers.

CAPITAL CITY NOTES
Topeka, August 6. Speaking
about the election of a lenator, one
of the big men of Kansas pointed out
that the upper house of national
legislature will be the most important
body m the world, as the war closes
foreign relations. The senate consists
of ninety odd members and as all
such bodies go about twenty will be
the leaders of though and will decide
upon the policies not only of the
word in shaping the future of the
United States but will have a large
whole world.
The strugle for the senatorship of
Kansas is going to be a mighty one.
The margin by which the democrats
hold is so small that every unit must
be a large item. Wise ones are free
ly predicting that the president will
get behind the election of Senator
Thompson and few are so valiant that
they care to predict his downfall in
the primaries. The democratic policy
will be an appeal to patriotism and
the assertion that a vote against the
present senator is virtually a repudia
tion of the course of the president in
his conduct of the war.
The various war activities have
thrown a small army of men into the
field whose jobs are due to the admin
istration. The newly organized labor
bureau is one of the instance. The
many men engaged in the secret ser
vice and who have done great work
in ferreting out slackers and pro-
Germans, make a traveling propo-
ganda for the administration that is
offset by the fact that the democrats
have no paper of more local circu
lation. Then there are the newly-
made army officers, who has been
advanced under present adminisrta-
tion. All these will be factors in de
termining the person who will next
represent Kansas in the national
senate.
Particular people who are fussy
about the looks and the tint of the
paper they use had better hurry and
get what they need for a long time
before the present stock is exhausted
for no more is to be made. Ripple fin
ish and cloth finish papers are made
by pressing between metal sheets and
all the extras are to be cut out so as
to conserve the labor. Only paper that
can be made by machine and com
pleted by machine will be manufac
tured until labor shortage isn't so
acute
Some idea of raising costs may be
had by the fact that the Santa Fe
railroad had to make out two hundred
thousand back pay check3 last month
and in order to do it recruited help
where it could. It took on girls of
seventeen and older and to all of
these it paid close to $60 per month.
HelD of this kind was on the market
three years ago at $4.00 a week In
the cities boys on school vacation are
getting $7 to $10 per week. Stores
are closing at 5:30 week days to com
ply with the nine hour orders of the
welfare commission. Merchants are
candidily discussing keeping open on
ly six hours a day to conserve heat
next winter.
Virtually all the leading cheap
brands of cigars are off the market
and those who are supposed to know
say that they will go from six to
seven cents. Manufacturers are tak
ing orders for delivery in the rndef
inte future. Largely the tobacco has
been absorbed for the boys ia France
and what i3 left is being parcelled out
as best may be to the smokers who
are left behind. Result, many have
stopped smoking.

An August Conception
Samuel Taylor Coleridge poet and
essayist, writing some 75 years ago,
said:
"The possibly destiny of the Unit
ed States of America as a Nation of a
hundred million of free men, stretch
ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
living under the laws of Alfred and
peaking the language of Shakespeare
and Milton, is an august conception."
lhe United btate3 is now a Nation
of hundred .millirm snH mni-o
stretching from, the Atlantic to the
Pacific and reaching out east takes
in Hawaii and the Philippines, in the
North Alaska, and in the south of the
Panama Canal. But grander than
its physical is its moral greatness. Its
fairness and justice, its courage and
power, its maintenance of right and
freedom cover the world.
The destiny the United State s is
now fulfilling is a more august con
ception than even the imagination of
the author Kubla Khan conceived of
less than a century ago.

A KICK THAT FAILED
For over thirty years Harry Freese
of Hays, has been making out U. S.
and pension and never a
complaint from either department.
Since the present war activities,
he has made out most of the depend
ent wife or parent pension papers for
the soldiers boys of Ellis County, who
have been drafted or enlisted, getting
them their government allowance with
never a complaint from the depart
ment, and all done without charge,
save the legal notary fee.
Lately some Haysites, evidently
seeking notoriety or jeaalous, secretly
wrote the department at "Washington
that Freese was making out such pa
pers and might complicate the records
and discommode the soldiers and their
relatives.
The Treasury Department having
charge of that department, wrote ask
ing what reference and experience
Mr. Freese had. The information was
granted the next day; the records of
the soldiers war risk for Ellis County,
Kansas, was examined in "Washington,
and Wednesday, Mr. Freese received
the following complimentary letter of
which he can be proud:
Treasury Department, Bureau of War

Mr. Harry Freese, Hays, Kansas,
Dear Sir:
I beg to acknowedge receipt of
your letter of July 19th, in reply to
a communication sent you from thi3

In reply I beg to advise you that
the Bureau of War Risk Insurance
has absolutely no complaint to make

I wish to say that we appreciate
very much any services which you

of any monies due them from the

If at any time the Bureau can be of
