We congratulate the wise council of

more business from year to year
than any town of its size in the state
has its cement sidewalks, electric
litghed business houses and resi-
dences, is general supply town for
the southwest and is really a place
considerable reputation in the west
ern section, yet there are dangers
about the town such that would I'M
peril the precious lives of all the
inhabitants in a few seconds, and
there IS no protection. One of the
first principles inculcated in child
early life, is self protection; yeth
is Liberal, a thriving town with
brilliant prospects. populated with an
intelligent people with no water
works or fire protection. Is this a
display Of cheap bravery or would

grown SO fast that NJ thought had

convenience as water system and a

Meade also is good town, while
Liberal discounts US in some things
we discount Liberal also in some
things Meade has more blocks of
cement than any town of equal size
in Kansas. We will be ahead of

GW. A. Mcneil planted twenty-eight
acres in onions at Santa Maria, Tex,
in the Gulf Coast Country. The yield
averaged 400 crates per acre, for which
he received $I.2o per crate, $48o an
acre. His total receipts from the
twenty-eight acres was $I3,44o. Pretty
good results from four months work.
GMr. Mcneil is no exception. Profits of
from $500 to 81, 600 an acre are of common
occurrence in the Gulf Coast Country.

your Raising fruit and vegetables in the Gulf
Coast Country Is simple anyone can do it.

the town does not put In q system
there is only two things left for them
to do-sell their property and go where
there is water or put In private system
Of their own. There are three objec-
tions to them doing either of the above.
First, the town can't afford to lose
citizen who has enough enterprise and
push about him to desire a modern
home. Second, citizen who leaves
town because of Inconvenience and a
lack of public Improvements is a
mighty poor advertisement. And
third, a private water system is very
expensive and, no difference how well
it is installed, never gives the satisfac-
tion that good gravity system, such
as Dolores could procure for nominal
price, would. 1t is time that the mat
ter of a water system for our town re-
ceived thoughtful consideration from
those who desire to see Dolores grow.

O'Connell, who had not been diving
from the boat, began at once TO call for
help and took bold of one Of the boys
who was swimming out pulling him
under, the boy managed to break his
hold and save himself. The boat stood
on its end the other eud reaching to
the top of the water. Arthur Ogle
caught hold of it and called to O'Con-

near by, to do the same. The boys
were all too badly excited to render
any assistance aud O'Connell sank.
On account Of the recent rains the res

was made with small hooks but the

Monday morning larger hooks were
procured and the body taken from the
water and brought to Hoods under
