Liberal Concert Band

For two or three weeks, move
ment has, been on foot tc organize
band for Liberal and get it into con-
dition that the players can furnish
music for the different occasions
where band is about the only thing
that will draw crowd and start en-
thusiasm running riout. Frank G.
Smith who is a lover-of music-is
the director and the members Of the
organization to date are: j. U.
Smith, A. W. Pankratz, cornet; Cecil
Pearce, John Livingston, Andy Nit
chell, alto; Frank @. Smith, Bert
Holloway, slide trombone, Edward
Kindschi, saxaphone; L, G. Chamber
lain; bass; cash Waters, Harold L.
Smith, drums. Their first public
performance will be given at the
home talent play tonight and they
are making strong efforts to be able
to handle any kind Of music In
short time. While the players are
not professionals every one or them
has had some instruction and ex-
perlence, they are calculating to put
in some good time practicing and be
able to play for any public entertain
ment that may require their services.
Liberal had band about two years
ago and it is reported that it was a
good one but after its dissolution 1t
has been almost impossible to get the
interest revived again. The boys
hope to stick together and If they
are encouraged little Will furnish
band that will advertise Liberal and
afford a lot of pleasure for the people.

New Mexico as their ultimate desti-
nation They expect to be gone a
month and will stop at places along
the route where they will have regu-
lar picnlcs and camp style outing.
They will probably be back In Llber-
al with that much envied tan so de-
sired by the city lads and lassies who

ChautauqualNex Week

Next Tuesday, the Chautauqua
starts In Liberal and continues i've
full days. Days that will bring tai
ent to Liberal that win perhaps be
means of starting new trend OF
thought and inspiring ambition. A
committee has been canvassing the
town but if you have failed TO get
one it is yet time to get one at de-
cldedlV better rates than buying one
at time. One reason, too, that 1t
would be an accommodation to the
men who are backing the attraction
is that the gate receipts are not in
cluded In the amount they pledged
themselves to the chautauqua com
pany. So If you want to help make
the thing a success get season tic
ket now.

Summer Fallow

When will the farmer of western
Kansas accept the absolute truth
that yearly cropping of wheat never
has paid for a period of five years
and never will pay? If everybody
west of Ellis and Edwards counties
would adopt the summer fallOw plan
for two.thirds Of the wheat acreage,
it would mean millions Of dollars to
Western Kansas and certain pros
perity instead of so many failures.
Western Kansas has lost ten thou
sand people in the last three years
because the farmers banked" on
wheat alone and yearly cropping
method. l urge everybody to stand
for reducing the wheat acreage and
the adoption of the summer fallow
method, and the rotation of wheat
with a forage crop. Cut down the
corn acreage and the wheat acreage
and grow more katfir and milo, build
silos and grow wheat only on sum-
mer fallow. j. II. MILLER.

New Pictures at Station

The waiting public will not have
to look at barren walls any more
since lot of new pictures have been
hung In the Ladies' waiting room at
the Rock Island station In this city.
Since the new agent, r. L. Brown
came to this city he noticed that the
room was devoid of any pictures or
painting to make the room look
more home-llke and so he sent to the
different railroads asking that they
send pictures, seven of which have
been hung and are fine prints of
North American Scenery and life
and are actual things that may be
seen along the different roads. The
frames are we'll made and Larmonize
with the interior woodwork in the
waiting rooms. They have been
hung as they came in but Mr.. Brown
expects to re-arrange them when all
the companies have sent in their
contributions. Then the pictures
will be put up so that light and col
oring may be brought out to the best
advantage. Some of the pictures
will be hung In the mems waiting
room and those who have to spend
several hours there waiting for trains
will have something to lessen the
minutes which seem so long while
waiting for the steel monster to
bear them away or bring an incom-
ing friend or relative.

Movement to Fight Hoppers

Reports from Ford county give out
the information that the recent fight
made on hoppers In that county
proved very successful from point
of getting rid Of the pests, not quite
so fortunate for the misguided hop
der that happened to taste of the
poisoned bran and orange juice. The
county commissioners furnished the
Ingredients to these who would come
in and get the mixture which was
mixed up by the agricultural experts,
but which can be used as success
fully by any one else. This is the
formula:
20 pounds bran
pound Paris Green
3 oranges or lemon
quart of syrup
Approximately 81 gallons
water.
In some of The adjacent counties
plans are all ready on foot to take up
the scientific method and do away
with the pests before they have de-
posted the millions of eggs in the
ground ready for next summers
Matching. The damage done to sum-
mer crops will only be repeated with
the fall sowing of wheat andi late
stuffs If something is not done to get
rid of the pests. The movement to
be successful must be general and
this county should not be the last TO
fall in line. One way has been to
have the bran, Paris Green, orange
and syrup mixed at a certain place
and then each farmer get his share
and mix the water with 1t as he uses
it. A farm can not be gone over in
one morning but several days can be
taken for the work and just enough
af the mixture moistened TO be used
during one days work. The hopper
feed early in the morning and it is
considered the best time OF the day
TO get the death dealing mixture TO
them. The poison will not hurt
poultry or stock as it is scattered in
such thin quantities that they can
not get enyugh to hurt them. 1t is
also stated that poultry will not be
be hurt by getting hopper that
has eaten a death portion Of the mix
ture, because the quantity eaten is
very small and If no more poison is
used than recommended it will re-
suit dlsasterously TO tho insect but
not to poultry.
A good many of the town people
who have autos will no doubt assist
In getting the mixture TO the people
in the far corners Of the county II
the county commissioners will make
provisions to furnish the mixture
and If the farmer and ranch owners
will see the commissioner OF his dis
trict there is no doubt but that this
county, too will "get" the hopper.
1t has been suggested that public
meetings be held and report OF the
action taken made to the commits
soners. But what ever is done must
be done quickly.
