to use every means to get the denial
of intervention before the populace.
In the note the sincerest friendship

WOULD QUARTER TROOPS
m THE LARGER CITIES

Washington, Feb. 13.-The quarter
ing Of troops directly in the larger
cities instead Of at the present army
posts was urged before the house
committee on war department expen-
ditures today by Major George II.
Shelton, of the bureau of insular af
fairs.
He said such a radical change would
effect an immense saving of money
for army up-keep; that the troops
would be more available when needed,
and that it would minimize desertions
from the army.
Representative Speer Of Pennsylya-
MIA, barking back to revolutionary
days, suggested that the attractions
of city life in Philadelphia destroyed
the discipline of HoWe's army. "Thc

the owners of the hotel, the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic railroad,
from forcing the lessees to surrender
their lease, as rad been contemplated,
and the case was set for hearing on
February "a.
The involuntary bankruptcy pro-
ceedings were brought as the result
of an announcement that the lessees
had been given notice by the owners
of the hotel to surrender their lease
within five days. and the further fact
that it had been planned by the rail-
road company to operate the hotel un-
der It's management.

pending in the state courts, bit the

Under the terms of the Injunction
granted, the A., B. & A. is restrained
from taking over the management OF
the hotel and consequently it will be
operated by the present lessees until

FIRST PASSENGER
TRAIN THURSDAY

The first passenger train came
into Woodward over the new line
of the Wichita Falls & Northeast
ern Railway, Thursday afternoon
at 2 o'clock. The Woodward band
was on hand and furnished ap-
propriate music to welcome the
trains on which were several east
ern fnanciers as we'll as the high
officials of the new road. There
were several hundred people pres
ent and these made a noise long
and loud as the train pulled into
Woodward. AS the train stopped
on the corner of 18th and Main
St. where the passenger depot will
be erected. Several people put
out coins under the wheels of the
train. The coins were permanent
ly mutilated and retained as SOU
venirs of the occasion. Mayor
Chas. r. Alexander, on behalf of
the city, took charge Of the road
for few minutes on the invita-
tion of General Manager Frank
Kell, in order to put the finishing
touches to the road, He drove a
gold spike into one of the ties,
marking the completion of the
work on the new road.
Mr.. Kell stated that the regu-
lar passenger service would be put
on in the course of few days.
He said that on account of the
short delay in building, due to the
unusually severe weather, other
arrangements had not been given
the attention they would otherwise
have received. He said that he
had been anxious to make the run
along the entire route and now
that this had been done, schedule
service would be the next thing.

LIBERAL HIGH SCHOOL
AT MEADE

Last Saturday. a number of the
students and faculty of the High
School went to Meade, to attend
the annual high school meet of the
Cimarron, Meade and Liberal
high schools. In the field contest
Cimarron took everything. And we
are glad they had the ability, but
it is not q fair test of what Meade
or Liberal can do. as the Cimar-
ron boys were large and heavy
men. In the evening, the debate
was given on the question: Re
solved, That the United States
should adopt the Parcels Post, in
which Liberal took the affirmative
with Miss Grace Etzold, Miss Car
rie Moon and Mr.. Paul Bennett.
Liberal won without much effort.
The Liberal people delivered their
argument with grace and ease,
and showed their excellent mental
training. We are proud of Lib
eral High School. While Meade
lost in both field and debate, she
showed her mettle in the way she
took her defeat and in her enter

all, that is what counts.
