“IT PAYS TO LIVE IN HAYS” ‘There's a town in Western Kansas, None better in the State, It’s the center of a wheel belt, ‘The climate’s simply “great.” The Normal spreads our name and fame, The boys and girls our pride, The College is a feature, too. It’s known far and wide, The U. P. serves our railway needs. But Hays is “pulling strong” for road to run from North to South. We'll have it before long. We have # City Manager, And “live” Commercial Club. We get lots of conventions, too. For Hays, there is no “sub.” You'll find your lodge or church right here. Fine hospital as well. Go tell the world we're growing fast, Hays always “rings the bell. Our Experimental Station's The biggest on the earth. Say, boy, the farmers “boost for it. ‘They get their money's worth. We're the county seat of Ellis, And doors are open wide for the “boosters” and the “*pushers.” The “Welcome” sign’s outside. Our soil and water can't be beat. Most anything we raise. And folks who stay here always say, “IT PAYS TO LIVE IN HAYS.” (Copyright 1921, by Ignatius J. Murphy).
