bringing the blue" which brought
great deal of satisfaction to the
chicken raisers and their friends. In
the lines that they made entries they
carried Off the honors over Pratt and

The Agricultural Schools

Topeka, Sept. 10.--"The best turn
we can do the Kansas farmer boy of
today is to steer him away from the
business college and the salaried job
in town, and show him the opportun-
tiles for farm demonstrators with a
scientific agricultural college train
ing" said State Bank Commissioner
Charles NJ. Sawyer today. That is
the biggest and best paid field now
open to the country bred lad. For
years to come the demand is going to
be far greater than the supply and
the pay runs from $1,000 year up
ward. A few years Of hard study at
the State Agricultural College will fit
any bright young fellow for the
work and his farm raising will give
him an advantage over the town
raised boy.
The way the demand for farm
demonstrators is increasing is little
short of wonderful. In some places
experts in this line are being paid as
high as $4,000 year by county or
ganizations That is exceptional, of
course, but the pay is good every
where. 1t is the biggest thing that
has yet come along for the farmer
boy and | wish could suggest to ev-
eryone who is now figuring on his fu-
ture. | would start them all in for
the agricultural college"

Reading Room For Liberal

Severcl days ago, Agent K. l..
Brown, of the Rock Island wrote
to H. P. Greenough, Supt. of FL
Paso division at Dal Hart, asking
for permission to use the vacant
room in the passenger station at
Liberal for a Railway Mems Club.
The commission was granted,
Tuesday and now the organization
committee is busy getting the
local railway men organized, The
room will be furnished with
chairs, tables, pictures and several
of the daily papers have already
signifed their willingness to be
regular visitors to the Club Room.
The pxpense of the organization
will be kept up by assessments
which will not be very heavy be-
cause the room will be free to
them.
Several men who have their
lay-oVer here have felt the time
spent here was long because they
had no place during the day to

rest or read during the periods
they we're waiting for trains.
Since they are granted the use of
the room at the station, they will
be within easy reach of the call
boy and can be found very easily.
The committees representing the
different organizations are: B. of
LIE, Davie Robinson, Dalhart;
y. r. c., Ben BEEN, Pratt, Robt.
Tracy, Dalhart; B. o. L. F., Tom
Roach, As soon as they have
canvassed all the boys and made
the report as to how many will
become members the election of
officer will be made and a perma-
nent organization perfected.

S1.50Per Year
Plenty of Seed Wheat

The report has been made cur
rent tnat there is not enough seed
wheat here to furnish the farmers
the amount necessary to seed their
land. Wednesday a talk with the
mill and elevator people gave the
report a serious blow. Seed
wheat is here in any quantity and
can be gotten on terms or cash
at nearly all the places dealing in
the grain. OF course there has
not been quite enough of the seed
raised in the county to supply the
demand, but the Liberal dealers
have foreseen this condition
and have shipped In enough to
supply the demand. The wheat
has been tested and the germina-
tion qualities have proved to be
good. Some of the local wheat
raisers have sold all the seed wheat
they had for sale, but that has not
depleted the supply so that there
is none for the man who wants to
get seed at this time. OF course
the grower who wants terms must
have his seed bed prepared prop
erly and must comply with the
provisions required in the contract
by the party who furnishes him
the seed. The private parties
who are furnishing seed are TAX
ing notes and seed wheat can be
COTTON on almost any kind of
terms. Of course some of the
provisions may not suit the man
who wants to SOW, but that is no
indication that the supply of seed
wheat is short. The railroads
have made provisions whereby
the grain can be shipped within
the state free of freight charges if
certain provisions are complied
with. But it seems that the deal
ers here have not been so slow
and already have enough seed
wheat on hand to supply the de-
mand.

DISCOURAGES DISTURBING RELI-
GIOUS SERVICES

Evidently 1t seems that the Liberal
preachers have determined to clean
up Liberal or at least discharge their
duties as the moral lights of the city.
One time Rev. Hockett hit the nail
pretty strong when he said If the
people would remember the intent
of the songs they sang until Monday
and put them in operation that the
would be better Not long ago
Rev. Ward, of the Methodist church
gave out some pretty strong hints
that brought him great deal OF
compliments, not only by church
members, but lot who agreed with
him on such subjects. 1t now seems
that Rev. Bolton, of the Christian
church, has seen 1t his duty not only
to address remarks along lines of the
same tenure but he touched a sub
ject last Sunday that is not only a To-
cal one but a national one. Rev.
Bolton touched on church disturb
ances and said some things that were
opportune. Not long ago the prayer
meeting of the church was disturbed
by crowd of boys who came down
their noise while passing The act
the street noisily and never ceased
may have been careless on the part
of the boys and it is likely that they
never thought OF disturbing any one,
but the fact remains that they did.
Not long ago the Youths Companion
also discoursed on the same subject
leaving thought in the article that
the young folks of today are not very
thoughtful about the church or very
reverent. 1t seems that the complaint
everywhere is that the people pay
very little attention to what was once
regarded with a great deal of rever-
ence and respect. 1t Is no uncommon
thing to see people chew gum in
church, to engage in conversation or
rush pell nell out of the sacred place
of worship, to also meet In small
groups after services and start "a
regular gossiping bee. While a lot Of
us may not care to either help sup
port the church or be member of It.
the fact remains that there is not a
single, solitary person who would
care to live in town or community
where the influence of the church was
not strong enough to protect life and
property. The Liberal preachers may
be saying some pretty hard things for
the laymen to properly digest. but no
one can accuse them of preaching for
popularity

that sort of employment agency

would be glad to have done II they
could find some one at the right
time. There has ever been the one
wanting help, and the one desiring
to advance aid, but there has not al
ways been the medium to bring them
together. Saturday a woman appar-
emily desirous of work and capable
of good, honest toll came to this Of

some one who would like to have

ouADRupLED IN popuLATIoN

The last census report taken by
Coburn shows that the town OF Lib
eral has four times the population In
1913 that it had in 1900. The report
gives Liberal for this year popula-
tion of 1879, four times that of
1900; being 426 at that time, The
rank in the state is given as 10, so
you will see that there are lot of
smaller towns in the state that have
not increased in population. Green's
burg, Kansas, has also four times its
1900 population though 1t has not
the number that Liberal has, nor
more. Pratt has trebled its popula-
tion; Dodge and Garden Cities are
over the three thousand mark. The
cities are given this rank in relation
to population, Kansas City, Wichita,
Topeka, Leayenworth, Hutchinson,
Atchison, etc.
