costly things, his wife and brood OF

they didn't need as much as you
need wings. He buys the richest
things in town, and always says,
Just chalk it down, I'll pay you
soon, you bet,' and payday even
ing finds him broke, his hard
earned plunks gone up in smoke,
and still he is in debt. The man
who doesn't buy for cash lays in
all kinds OF costly trash, that he
could do without; he spends his
coin before it's earned, and roars
about it when it's burned-is that

For Sheriff

In the announcement column
this week, r. P. Smith, living two
miles west of Liberal is announc-
ing for the Republican nomenation
for sheriff of this county and feels
that his familiarity with the re-
quirements of the Office fits him
for this place. He is one of the
younger Republicans and has never
asked for public Office from the
people before.
He is Seward county resident
of long years, coming to this
country in 1885. Practically his
acquaintance is general over the
comfy, and the adjacent territory
to this country. That he will be
good man to represent his

Two beautiful loving cups are to

one by G. S. jarrett and one by W.
d. Connelley. The business men of
Liberal have also furnished a gold
medal for every person winning a
first place.

Last year, at the field meet, there
was was very small crowd out to
witness the events and few to en-
courage the ones endeayorlng to win
honor for Liberal and the High
School. Each of the visiting towns
will have lively, enthusiastic crowd
with the team and the home folks
should see to it that encouragement
in large numbers, spurs the home
boys to great effort and victory.

that he practically knows every
man, woman and child in the city
and county. So to those who
know him and those who don't
il will-be learned with interest that
he is going to make the attempt
to become treasure of this county.
He is Democrat of long staining
and will ask for nomination at the
primaries on. that ticket. His an
nouncement appears in this issue
of the Democrat,
Mr.. Lemmonier has been city
assessor for Liberal and is just
now closing up his work for that
part of the county assigned him.
He is therefore somewhat conYer-
SAINT with the duties required in
the Office for which he asks.
Thisis his first attempt to get a
county office and should he be
nominated he will undoubtedly be
credit to his party and his
friends who have urged him to
make this start,

School Meeting

Friday the school distric meet
ing was held at the High school
building. About two hundred
people were interested enough to
get out and participate in the
afternoon proceedings.
w. Fl. Feather, presided and
called the meeting to order, M, Fl
Scandrett and G. E. Woods gave
the clerks and treasures report
respectivel and they were adopted
without discussion by the people
there. The election of the treas.
urer's promised to be exciting
earlier in the day but at the
meeting G. E Woods was elected
for three years. The length of
the school term was made nine
months.
1t was unanimously decided to
increase the levy sufficiently to
raise an amount equal to about
$4,000 which is necessary to
maintain this school. 1t was also
decided to employ another teacher
which was the recommendation of
those who have the school prop
osition in hand. This makes the
number then to be employed next
year at eighteen.
Quite little discussion was
raised about the free text books,
whether the district should furnish
them or whether an agency should
be established. The vote of those
present established an agency
which will sell the books as fxeC
by the state law at ten per cent
above cost.
1t was moved and carried tha
a half mill levy be made for {
building fund to provide funds
for a building which seems i'm
minent in the future.
The voice of the patrons seemed
to be that in the grades especially
that more careful and more Wig
ilient supervision should be exer
cised over the play grounds ST tn
school.
