leave the Old Dominion and be-
come a citizen of Liberty School
District, Audrain county, Mis-.

MIR. Editor: You and the reader
will take notice that these obser.
vatiohs eminate from the CENTRAL
portion Of Liberty-the hub, or
the heart OF the ''deestrict." as IL
were. Liberty. you know, is
chock full of so many literary peo.
pie, and startling events, that it
requires a number Of correspon-
dents-one north. one south, one
east, one west and one in the cen.
ter--to keep the outside world
reasonably well informed as to
what is going on in Liberty.

ing the fact that commissioned Off
GERS of the feet were being honored by

something for one Of the officers lower

Ferguson as the guest of honor at a
banquet given Monday night al a
Golden Gate avenue rotisserie.
To keep him company the tribe in
vited 20 other sailors of the fleet who

seats as the guests of Calumet tribe

BANDS PLAY WHILE
SHIPS TAKE COAL
BIueiackets Wear White Ducks
While Slowing Black Dia=
mOnds Away in Holds

Coaling ship is the dirtiest meanest
job that a blueiacket is called upon to
perform. but it is necessary and in the
navy is made as easy as possible by the
Introduction of spirit of healthy
rivalry. which converts an unpleasant
task into a rather exciting game. Fur
ther. to take the "cuss" off the task
lively music is provided by the ships
band.
The Alabama, Louisiana. Virginia.
Yankton and Kentucky coaled yester-
day. During the process of coaling all
hands wear white ducks. They are not
white long, but there is a good reason
for this choice of clothes. On a war
ship cleanliness comes next TO obedi-
ence. The tiniest speck Of coal dust
shows on white duck When the coal
ing is finished the decks are washed
down and then all hands are turned to
scrubbing their coal stained clothes
Blue would not show the dirt. and as
the men are usually tired after coaling
ship all day they would be tempted to
let their clothes go with a lick and a
promise. There is an inspection after
the 7scrubbing Anybody can tell at a
glance If white duck is cEean, but coal
dust hidden in blue flannel would al
most defy detection.
The Louisiana and Alabama coaled
from the British collier Amberton. from
which the Georgia's bunkers will be
flied today. The collier Cape Finis-
terre went alongside the Virginia and
the dainty Yankton. which was built
for pleasure yacht and still looks like
one, made fast 10 the other side of the
collier, which fed the Yankton and Vir-
ginia at the same time. After coaling
the Yankton anchored near the flagship
Connecticut.
The Cape Finisterre will coal the
Kansas today. the Rhode Island tomor-
row and on Friday the New Jersey.
None of the ships need a great deal of
coal and the operation this time will
not take long

pressions of patriotism and good will,
and gave orders to his flag lieutenant

tary of the Navy Metcalf about the
cup. A feature of the cup are two
coins 2,004 years old, which were
skillfully worked into the silver.

WHERE, OH, WHERE
WERE NAVY RACERS!
Big Crowd Assembled to See
Oarsmen and Went Away
Disappointed

The boatraee that was scheduled by
the reception committee for yesterday
between crews from the ships of the
Atlantic and Pacific fleets would prob
ably have been a stirring event Ii
somebody had not failed to notify the
Atlantic fleet that it was on the days
program.
There are racing crews on most OF
the battleships and the bluejackets love
race almost more than general lib
erty.
Everybody was notified of yesterdays
race but Lieutenant D. A. Weaver, the
fleet athletic officer. and the oarsmen
But the notification to the public was
vague. 1t simply said that the race
would be rowed on the San Francisco
side of the bay. However, the public
turned out. Wharf ends that com
manded stretches of water answering to
that description were thronged and nu-
merous launches loaded with sport low
ing excursionists haunted the western
shore
They were rewarded at last by the
sight OF a navy racing boat propelled
by oars in the, hands of half naked
giants.
