Meeting With Favor

Wherever there has been an ex-
preston of opinion during the past
week regarding the new lire truck
for the city of Liberal the Dropo-
sition has met with favor. While
on the face of it the price may APP
pear to be high, yet as compared
with similar equipment put out
by the automobile factories it is
indeed quite reasonable.
The Packard Auto Fire Truck
costs $3, 400 alone without the
body, mountlngs or being painted,
These items increase the cost to
more than $4,000. The fire truck
for the city if built along the lines
suggested by the Liberal Auto
Supply Company will cost the
city only $1,000. With this
equipment we will be able to have
the same service that Guymon
has at cost of $1,000 a year,
at cost of less than 800 per
year. This would make it ap-
pear from every standpoint that
the new Auto Fire Truck should
be bought by the city, All who
are interested in the matter should
see that they give an expression
of their opinion to one or more of
the councilmen, as the proposition
is likely to come before the next
meeting of the council.

the railroad companies and tho
striking union employees Is On In
dead earnest to-day. Thousands have
obeyed the strike order and other thou
sands have continued At work. The
companies ere operating their princi-
pal trains under modified schedules.
The Government and the Board Of
Trade are continuing their efforts to-
ward peace. bwt the old deadlock be-
tween the unions and the mana gers
appears to have reasserted itself to-
day. The managers had a prolonged
meeting with members Of the Bolrd
Of Trade. but as far as could be
learned the railroad companies de-
clined to bulge from their stand OF
making no further concession beyond
submitting the dispute to tho royal
commission suggested by tho Govern
ment.

The next step rests with the strike
committee which was In session
throughout the day. apparently deter
mined not to yield until the companies
recognized the unions.
The chief cities OF England. the sta
tions. workshops. signal posts. tunnels
and bridges are guarded by soldiers.
Clerks have been pressed into service
to aid the non-strikers in moving the
trains. Despite the efforts OF the com
panies freight traffic 10 demoraiized and
the shortage of food supplies threatens
O famine at some points.
There has been rioting at Birmingham,
Derby. Sheffield and at Llanelly. Wales.
Attacks have been made on the signal
towers at some places. but usually the
violence has been confined to attempts
to interrupt tho movement OF food and
fued supplies.
The most serious situation probably
Is at Liverpool. The city was quiet to-
day, but the silence was ominous. for
the feeling mons the strikers and
their friends Is bitter. The strike at
the electric power stations is a serious
feature which threatens to plunge the
city In darkness tonight, as well as to
tie up the street railway systems. Non.
union men accomplished a partial ser.
vice at the power stations to-day.

TOBACCO TIOINGS.

COST OF PRODUCTION EXCEEDS

At the instance of the associ-

city of Henderson graded the
1910 Association tobacco under
took the preparation of detailed
statement purposing to show the
cost of producing tobacco. These
graders are practical specialists,
middle-aged, sober, conservative
and discreet. They meet from
time to time for purpose of con-
ference and discussion. and where
a doubt or difference arose the
opinion and advice of experien-
ced men tobacco was sought and
considered. =
For convenience the committee
of graders elected to figure the
cost Of producing three acres of
tobacco.
Here to follow is a list of grad
ers who prepared the estimate:
Owen Mcdonald, 7. J. Melton,
