My Day at the Fair. By Lidwina Bissing. Last Thursday, the Hays High School were allowed to get in free at the Hays Fair. The students assembled at the high school building. It was nine o'clock when we started out.

It was rather a rainy day to go to the fair, but we thought we would try it anyway. It did not rain on the way out, however, but it poured down when we got to the grounds. We went to the first building we saw and then looked around for something to eat. We finally found a candy stand and we filled up on candy, we thought this would do until dinner time. At about 10:30 the Normal students came down with the band lead- ing them." We watched them march around for awhile, thn went over to one of the buildings, for it had again started to rain.

It did not rain very long, and as it was close to dinner time we looked around for a place to eat. We found a place where the Normal girls were selling pie, but we did not i think that we could satisfy our hunger with that so we went further and found the place where they served hot dinner. We went there and thought we'd get warmed up by eating something hot, but it did not do much good for the dinner soon got cold. Miss Soper and Mr. Wood were at our table and they certainly entertained us.

Mr. Wood showed us how to eat pumpkin pie. After dinner the Normal band played and the students marched with Mr. Malloy as the leader. While we watched them we got rather cold and flipped into a car that wa3 standing close by.

We got out of the car after about ten minutes and went over to see the acrobats, trained dogs, skating, and so forth. Then the floats came next. There were just three floats. The country school that had the nicest float got a prize. After we saw the bucking and the riding of.

the wild str we started home. We intended to walk home, but a car picked us up on the way and we were certainly glad to ride home after a 'ay at the fair. I Public Sale. wUI seII at auction at Hay3 on lot orth -n turda 0c 23. 1915.

Elnora G. Whitmore God Be With You Rev. Hale's Address of Welcome was given in his usual pleasing manner. Mrs. Miller of Russell responded with a few well chosen words.

Miss Felten's music was very much appreciated. Mrs. Wooster read "The Mission Box" by request, and to say that she was ap- preciated would be putting it mild; she responded to an encore with "The House by the Side of the Road." The address by Dr. Whitmore of Topeka, was both entertaining and instructive. Mrs.

Alberta Frederick of Salina, then took charge of the meeting, organizing WaKeeney, Ellis, Hays and Russell camps into an association to meet once a year. Russell camp invited the association to meet with them in October 1916. The following officers were elected: President, Mr3. Rose Nolan, Hays; Vice president, Mrs. Cora Leisenring, Ellis; Secretary-Treasurer, Mrs.

EfSe Nutting, Russell. The meeting adjourned, after which the visiting ladies were escorted by the members of Hays camp to the dining hall at the M. E. church, where a "bountiful six o'clock dinner was served as only the Methodist ladies can serve. At eight o'clock Lodge was called to order, when a class of eighteen were initiated with the beautiful and impressive ceremony of the order.

Dr. Whitmore again gave an interesting talk on the good of the order and the importance of insurance. Mre. Frederick made a few remarks in her bright, jolly way. The Camp presented Dr.

Whitmore with a beautiful china chop plate, and Mrs. Frederick with a souvenir spoon. Each visiting lady was presented with a carnation. Lodge closed and ice cream and cake was then served to all. The Royal Neighbor Lodge of Hays now numbers 121 members.
