If the plans now under consid-
Grafton materialize the farmers in
the country tributary to Liberal
will be supplied with seed wheat.
1t is the intention to form an as
sociation of local business men for
the purpose of furnishing seed on
a basis of one-fourth of the crop
raised. Those behind the prop
osition are trying to ascertain the
amount of seed that will be re-
quired to supply the demand and
to help the matter along, those
desiring seed should put in their
application to John w. Baugh-
man at the first opportunity. 1t
is highly important that the trade
territory tributary to Liberal ac-
complish results and as there are
a great many farmers who have
the ground in a good state of cul-
tiyation and would put out a wheat
crop if they had the seed. 1t is a
business proposition for Liberal
to see that they are supplied with
the seed. Several business men
have indicated q willingness to
furnish some seed individually.
This will 60 a long ways towards
relieving the situation, but by
this plan some will be left out but
if the matter is taken up by the
association as planned, every
worthy farmer will be supplied
with sufficient seed. 1t is desired
that those business men who have
not investigated the plan, call at
Baughman's Office and talk over
the details and get behind the
proposition with all their energy.
The time is here; the occasion is
ripe to boost for Liberal.

The Floris Well


A short time ago the we'll drill
ers at the Floris we'll claimed they
had gone the required depth, 800
#. and prepared to move their
well drilling machinery. The citi-
zens living near the place decided
that something was wrong, and
pulled and measured the casing,
finding it shorter than they be-
lieved it should be. They then
sent in protest to the state audi
tor, demanding that payments fl +
the FIoris we'll be stopped. 1t is
said that Judge Loufburrow of
Beaver has taken the matter up
and will institute proceedings to
compel the completion of the well.
The drillers say that they are
through with the we'll and will
drill no further as not an indica.
ton of water was found.

Santa Fe Coming

AT last it looks as though the
long expected building Of the San
ia Fe through Ford, Morton, Has
kell and Grant Counties would be-
come q reality. A number of
Dodge City men went to Chicago
the first of the week to investigate
the rumors the daily papers have
been giving out. They returned
with a proposition from Pres, Rip
ley of the Santa Fe, which was
about as follows: that the right-of-
way through these counties be
furnished to the railroad free of
cost. No bonds are being asked
for, and yet the company has not
asked for any cash bonus from any
one along the line. 1t is also stat
ed from the Office of the President
of the Santa Fe that trains will be
running in Ford and Haskell
counties by the first of next July.
The first fifty miles of the new
road now seems to be a certainty.

Artesian Wells
Continued from Page |

consists of Tertiary deposits in
which all of the ordinary wells in
this section end. These deposits
yield large amounts Of good water
which does not, however, rise to
the surface. Below the Tertiary
deposits, are the Red Beds, which
contain layers of gypsum, and q
few beds of water bearing sand
stone. They are very thick and
consist for the most part of red
shale which yields no water. 1t
is not known how far the artesian
sandstone in the Red Beds below
Rich6eld may extend, but its oc-
curance is probably local. This
sandstone may not extend as far
as Hugoton or Liberal but there
isa possibility that another SINH
lar water bearing sandstone may
occur in the Red Beds below these
houId be recognized
that it is entirely uncertain whether
flowing wells can be obtained in
this locality even though the drill
ing be carried to GREAT depth.
However, there is a possibility
that an artesian bed similar to
that at Rich6eld might be struck,
and it is a reasonable project for
the county or community to sink
a test well. If a we'll is put down
it should be sunk 1900 or 1000
feet, if necessary, in order to
make thorough test, but it would
be unwise to drill deeper since any
artesian supply that might exist
at a greater depth would probably
have no economic value"
Mr.. Meinzer believes that more
use should be made of the ordi-
nary we'll water. With only a
windmill to pump water it is pos
sible for each farmer to irrigate
enough land to raise an abundant
supply of vegetables and fruit for
his own use. Too many farmers
are still buying in the stores the
food supplies which they ought to
raise in their gardens, truck
patches and orchards.

that severely"
The witness was then asked how
long it would take the discolora-
ton to disappear, and he answered
that it depended on circumstances.
He said it might be fastened by
the application of hot cloths, lini-
ment or leeches.
The defense in cross examina-
tion then tried to prove that none
had been used, but the witness
said that the useof any of these
would leave no trace visible TWEEN
ty-6ve hours after their use. He
was asked about patent medicines,
and caused some laughter in court
by replying that he knew nothing
of the patent medicines. They
also tried to show that it would
be possible for one child to show
discoloration from a bruise more
easily than another.
THE TESTIMONY
The witnesses for the state we're
the neighbors who live near the
Pellette home in the west part of
the city. Mr.. and Mrs. Ezra
Shorb, Ernest Adams, Miss Eu-
nice Adams, and Mr.. and Mrs. O.
P. Jarrett told of the Pellettes
whipping the child Sunday, on
four different times, of their going
away from home in the evening
and leaving the children in the
house alone. Mrs. Jarrett's testi-
mony showed that she went to the
Pellette home Monday evening
and asked to look at the child, at
the request of the county attor-
ney, which was refused. Mr..
Shorb told of hearing the cries
of the child Sunday. He then
went to the fence between the two
houses, and asking Mr.. Pellette if
he was whipping the baby. Mr.,
Pellette replied that he was, Mr..
Shorb then said that he would
take the the matter up with the
county attorney.
The witnesses for the defense
we're then called to the stand.
Miss Barbee who mad worked in
the PeIlette home said that they
usually stood before the baby and
clapped their hands when he was
crying, and then scolded him,
which would usually make the
child stop crying. She also said
that she often would stamp her
foot on the floor to quiet the child.
She stated that she had taken the
child home with her Monday
evening at the request of Mrs,
Pellette. The following morning
she took the baby to the home of
Mrs. j. K. Mann, where she gave
it to Mrs. Pellete. Mrs. Pellette
then took the child and went to
the home Of her mother, at Pratt,
returning Tuesday evening at the
request of her husband.
Mrs. r. E. Madison told of
seeing the older child a year ago
after the baby's father had whip
ped 1t. She said that the child
bore the marks of where his father
had spanked him, and also that
Mrs. Pellette seemed to be put out
about it.
Mr.. Pellette admitted having
whipped the child four times Sun
day, but said that he did not whip
the child hard, and only through
the childs clothing, and then only
struck the baby three or foul
times, and that there was little OF
no noise from the spanking, as he
padded the baby through three OF
four thicknesses of clothing.
Both of the parents said nothing
had been done to remove thu
traces of the whipping. Mrs
Pellette made an excellent impress
sion while on the stand. She sale
that she had taken the child away
to keep the officers from taking
her baby away from her. He
