Booster Trip Successful

had nearly all left town, but the
town turned out In full force and
numbers and gave the Liberal boys a
fine time. A dance had been
arranged for and after few speeches,
band numbers, quartetts, clogs, and
other amusements, the hall was
cleared and those who felt so inclined
"tripped the light, fantastic toe" to
their hearts content Sheriff Talley
had kindly opened the doors of the
town and retired to the farm for the
night, satisfied that the Liberal
bunch would do nothing unlawful or
ungentlemanly, in which guess he
was correct. Ochiltree knows how to
take care of the stranger within her
gates, and If her citizens ever come
to Liberal in bunch, we will gladly
turn the town over to them to do
with as they please as long as they
care to stay. The whole town prom
ised to come to the fair In Septem-
Der, and Liberal ahould return some
of their hospitality at that time.

ON THE RETURN TRIP

We left Ochiltree about 8 o'clock
the next morning. Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilson of Ochiltree, in their new
BriscOe, took the lead. Stops were
made at Grogan, Texas, Balko, and
LaKemp, Oklahoma, but as neither
place mad been notified of our COM
ing only a short program was rem
dered at each place. AT Beaver we
were greeted by number of Beaver
cars about mile from town, also a
number of Liberal cars driven by
ladies who we're either anxious to
show a booster spirit Of their own, or
else wanted to meet their husbands
away from home and find out how
said husbands we're conducting them
selves. Their cars were handsomely
decorated for the occasion and made
more noise than all the mems cars
put together. The Beaver citizens
were waiting for the boosters and
their band was playing before the
Liberal bunch left the cars. A short
program OF speeches and music was
given at the court house, which the
towns population attended. If that
town ever gets railroad, and the
chances are favorable for one right
now, 1t will make mighty good
business point. They have recently
installed an electric light and water
plant, and business conditions are ex-
cellent. A fine spirit was shown by
the Beaver folks in entert aiming the
Liberal people, and we expect to see
all of them here during the chautau-
qua and fair, They have bunch of
liye wires down there, and when all
of them get behind a project some
thing is due to happen.
The town of Forgan had "Wel-
come" banner strung across Main
street, and turned out in large numb
ers to welcome the visitors. FOrgaTl
is one Of the fastest growing towns
in the Southwest and does an I'm
mense business every day. 1t was
getting late and the boosters only
stopped long enough TO render a short
program and scatter advertising
matter. But they are a good bunch
of scouts down there and their well
come was sincere.
Short stops were made at the
Florls and Lorena post offices on the
way home, but the farmers at both
places were too busy harvesting a
bumper wheat crop to greet the
boosters, which was perfectly excus-
able in this case, as most of the crops
down that way come here anyhow,
and the wheat must be looked after,
boosters or no boosters.
The same program was rendered
when the cars arrived at Liberal as
had been given at the other places,

they received Invitations to our little

It was expected that each young man
