The Poultry Department at the
fair promises to be one of the best
features There are many fine flocks
of thoroughbred birds in this ter
rltory Practically all the standard
breeds are represented and the only
thing that can possibly detract from
the big poultry exhibit is the fail
ure of some of the poultry raisers
to enter their birds. There are still
two weeks in which to procure eXhi-
bition coOps and prepare the birds
for the show and every breeder owes
it to himself and the rapidly growing
poultry industry of the great South
west to be on hand with the pick of
the flock and capture his share of
the cash prizes, special premiums and
ribbons to be offered The matter
of exhibition is left to the choice OF
the exhibitor. The only require
ments are that the coops shall be
neat in appearance anr have an
opening in front easy of access.
Coops for single birds of the large
varieties should be 24x24x30 in
size and pen coops 2Ax48x30 in size
and for the smaller varieties they
may be reduced in size accordingly.
However, should it be more con-
venient to exhibit in coops of differ
ent dimensions, you are at liberty to
do SO.
ANY information relative to the
poultry department will be gladly
furnished by T. W. Hubbard, Super
intendent.

CORRECT

Some time ago in Oklahoma a
politician by the name of Litchfield
was killed by the father of a girl
whom he attacked. The slayer was
of course brought to trial and SEN
fenced to five years in the peniten-
tiary. The case was appealed to the
Criminal Court of Appeals and the
statement made by Judge Furman of
that court relative to the freeing of
the father should be read by every
one He denounces the standard that
closes every door except the grave,
to erring girls, in giving his decision.
oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. "a
The father who kills in defense of
his daughters honor will receive
protection and not punishment in Ok
lahoma,' declared Chief Justice Fur
man of the criminal court of appeals
when he reversed the fiye-year sem
tence imposed upon G. NJ. Litchfield
who killed Bill Collins, Democratic
politician, for attacking his daughter.
'In reversing the sentence the
chief justice said
1T matters not what the previous
reputation Of his daughter may be,
the father has the right to defend her
against an assault, and he may do
this Immediately, with the most easy
means at his command, and II he
kills her assailant the law will hold
him guiltless, even though it may af-
terwards turn out that he might have
prevented the offense by use of some
other means, provided only that the
father acts in good faith and upon
reasonable appearance of imminent
danger to his daughter
THE evidence in the case showed
that Collins had misled the Litchfield
girl under promises of securing di-
vorce and marriage. On the point
of attacking the girls former reputa-
tion, the court became emphatic and
assaled vigorously the so-called
double standard of morality.
"'It would be unjust, said Judge
Furman, to have the yeraclty OF a
man called in question by proof of
his reputation for morality. II this be
true as to men, why should not the
same rule apply to women?
1--we are not willing to establish
double standard in Oklahoma in
favor of men and against woman
hood. This court will extend to the
prodlgal daughter every right and
every protection which is afforded the
prodigal son. 1t is false and Vi
cious standard of morals which opens
every door and bids welcome to the
prodigal son, but closes every door
except that of the grave to the proui-
gal daughter We believe that If any
differences be made between men
and women they should be in favor
of womanhood. In 80 out Of every
100 cases when a girl goes wrong. It
is owing to the temptation and viii

Died

Raymond Rucker, II year old son
OF MIR. and Mrs. w. l.. Rucker, died
Friday evening, Sept 20 of blood
poisoning.
About two weeks ago while playing
with one of his playmates he was hit
in the face by clod, which bruised
the skin some but the wound was so
slight that nothing was thought of it.
Soon the family moved to Liberal in
order that the little fellow might go
to school, but the wound became SO
painful that he attended school only
a half day. Physicians were called
and every possible preoaution was
taken and all that was possible to be
done was done' but to no avail.
The funeral was held Saturday
morning. All of the school children
of his grade attended in body.

JIMMY WILL PREACH

The many friends of James sealy
are pleased to hear that Jimmy as
he is called by his friends, will preach
his first sermon at the Methodist
church Sunday morning. He decided
that his calling was in the ranks of
the ministry little over year ago
and since then has been diligent in
his efforts to gather learning along
theological lines. Jimmy expects to
go to Winfield next year at the latest.
and we do not for a moment doubt
that he will develop into second
Billy Sunday He already has a good
understanding of the English Ian
guage, which in truth, is very rare;
he has a clear and finely modulated
voice, and personality which is
bound to make him worker of good
and progressive ideas among his
church members.

JUST CHATTER

There are some people around this
town who have a most wonderful fac
ulty for shooting off their dadburned
mouth without aiming their thoughts,
which cause wild rumors to go sour
rying in every direction. The busy
bee, gossiper, CRATER or calamity
howler, whomsoever or whatsoever
he may be who spread the rumor
that Liberal was quarantined on ac-
count of the horse epidemic ought to
have his bloomin' block knocked off.

as fast as a good wholesome truth

A rather amusing scene transplred
Tuesday when No. l came in. A
florid faced and corpulent travelling
man who was leaving on that train
failed to get his grips in the little
cart that is used for the purpose of
hauling heavy grips to and from the
hotel, and so was compelled to carry
them over to the train. The grips
were heavy and the man had to hur-
ry. He came waddling up the plat
form in plenty of time, set his grips
down and rushed into the ticket office
for his ticket. The boy who hauls
the grips saw the man put the grips
down and knowing the man and
that he always stopped at his EN-
ployers' hotel Immediately loaded
them into the wagon and started for
the hotel q linking that he had just
arrived. rhe rain started-the man
came boling out of the ticket Office
and stopped short on the spot where
a moment before his grips had been
looked wildly around and saw the
boy hauling them down the platform.
He made after him yelling Justify
that he was going out on No. l. AT
ter a while the boy got "hep" and
handed the man his grips, and he
managed with the help Of the porter
to get them on and then fall sprawl
ing on the platform, while everybody
roared. 1t seems that nobody loves

tion turn out to this meeting. A
railroad through here means every
thing to this-eountry and now that
Major E. C. Gordon, a man who can
and will cause one to be built
through here, has submitted us
fair, straight business proposition, 1t
Is the duty of every citizen to take
hold and assist In carrying through
the enterprise. Word comes from all
parts of the proposed line that the
people are taking hold of the pro-
1ect In more earnest, determined
manner than 1t was at first believed
they would If we allow this oppor-
tunity to get railroad to go past
us, there is no telling when, If ever,
we get another proposition. Some
say the road will come whether we
assist or not. but this is very much
mistaken idea, for IL we ever get a
railroad we must do our part. Bea-
yer City slept when a railroad pro-
ject was being discussed in that part
of the county with the result that
when the road was built 1t gave Bea-
yer the cold hand. We should profit
by the experience of Beaver and Sc
cure this road while we have the
chance. Come, everybody, turn out

There is 10 department of the pub
lie fund is wasted as in the con-
structiOn and maintenance of our
highways. 1t is unquesti0nably
safe to state that thirty percent
OF the money now expended on
the roads of Maine Is dissipated
This means an annual destruction OF
more than $500 900, which amount
might just as we'll be gathered into
one pile and burned. The time is
coming when the public will fully APP
preciate this fact. and then there will
be evolved a system somewhat SINH
lar and as efficient as that adopted by
our railways Trained men will be
necessary to put such plan into ex-
ecuton. We have training schools
for our teachers and those engaged
II, nearly every other vocation, why
not for our road builders?
1t must be remembered that the
state highway department has abso-
lutely no control or voice over sew
enty-tive percent of the highway ex-
penditures, being entirely devoid of
the least semblanCe of authority in
the matter of maintenance. Men hav-
ing such a training would have a tech
nical knowledge of the value of road

ton of a macadam road, certain va
rieties of stone are good while others
are absolutely worthless. Some are
suitable for the lower courses while
worthless for the top or last course
