This is NOT a Lottery

Since County Attorney Commons
issued his order few weeks ago
against slot machines and gambling
devices, he has had numerous in
quiries regarding the contest put on
by the Democrat and six business
firms of the town, and considerable
speculation was carried on as to what
would be done in regard to it. We
explained the matter thoroughly to
Mr.. Commons and he held that 1t
could not be construed as lottery,
but advised US to get the opinion Of
the encouragement OIL the same.

Friends Church Notes

We are glad to say to the general
public that the Friends new church
is progressing nicely. All matters
seem to be adjusting themselves
properly and with fair weather the
new church will be ready for dedica-
tion about the second or third Sun
day in March. Competent judges
have said that the First Friends
church of Liberal will be one of the
most commodious churches In our
city, and yet it will be plain enough
to characterize the "Quakers." We
are sure that every doner will be
pleased with his or her investment,
and glad they made the Friends
church possible and permanent In Lib
eral,
In return, Friends are doing their
best to make Dedication Day one of
the most interesting that Liberal has
known. Everything possible In the
way of music is being arranged for.
Several noted people are to be here
and will address the people. Presi-
dent Edmond Stanley of Friends
University and Clarkson Hinshaw,
yearly meeting superintendent, both
Of Wichita, will be with US; and when
we tell you that our own governor,
Arthur Capper, has kindly consented
to come and address US, l am sure
you will want to attend the dedica-
ion exercises. His letter follows:
Rev. John l. Huff,
Liberal, Kansas.
Dear Friend:- l have your letter
and am glad that 1t will be satisfact-
ory for me to come. My subject will
PROBABLY be, "Kansas, the Leader for

zenship has made on moral lines.
With best Wishes. am,
Very respectfully,
ARTHUR CAPPER.
Our collections are good, there be-
ing less than $1,000 outstanding at
this time. New contributions are
slow, owing to the fact that many
are waiting for dedication, which per-
haps Is wise, as most OF the member
ship gave to their limit at the begin
ming Of the work. Nevertheless, we
feel sure that Liberal will come to the
rescue at dedication and, as usual, do
herself much honor.
We feel sure that when our govern
or has spent some time in our pros
porous and progressive little city he
will not feel ashamed that Liberal
is on the map of his great common
wealth, and that he has met and
addressed her people.
