Liberal in this part of the country
and Dragged about seeing, long be-
fore they arrived at Gray, the ban
ner of welcome stretched across the
street. The advertising and reputa-
ton for hospitality and nelghborli-
ness by trying to show the Liberal
bunch a good time is worth many
times what little expense we went to.
There are number of young men
in and around Gray who are heed
lessly wasting the best years of their
lives. Strong, healthy and full OF
vigor, they find all the work they are
willing to do and at great big wages,
which they fool away as quick as
they receive 1t. AS an example OF
what can be accomplished right here
In this country we wish to call your
attention to the career OF one young
man who has come under the per-
sOnal observation of this editor. Per-
haps all that were here at the visit
of the Liberal boosters paid some
special attention to the young man
who just before the departure Of the
boosters got up in an auto and
thanked our people for their hospi-
tally and courtesy. That young man
was Ralph Colvin, general manager
of the several yards of the Star Lum-
Der company. In the summer of
1904, after establishing residence on
the claim north of here, we took up
temporary abode at Tyrone, where we
first met Ralph Colvin who, then a
mere boy, was tending the postofflce
at $40 per month and boarding him
self. Today, after the expiration of
only few years, he has a consid- |
cradle interest in the Star Lumber
and Is considered so trust
worthy by the other members OF the |
that year or so ago he |
was elected not only manager of the |
Liberal yard, but of those they have |
located in several other towns. Be-
sides this, while only young man,
he Is one of the leading citizens of |
Liberal, held in such high honor and |
esteem that, while there were doc
tors, lawyers and other educated men
down here with the bunch, he was
chosen by the others, many of whom
we're much older, as most credit
able representative of the town, to
deliver one of the addresses. The
,areer that Ralph Colyin has carved
out for himself is one of honor to
his parents and a great credit to his
,wn energies and clean life. He has
made good in every particular and
MS example could well be followed
)y all of the young men of this part

business men, among which they had
Liberals best talent, such as orators,
musicians, male quartet, brass band,
and even two newspaper men accom-
panying them who had their liberty
to mix around same as other folks,
and they found their way to the
Advance Office, as we'll as several 9TH
ers of the club, and we we're grad
to meet them. The boosters were
distributing advertising matter ss
they go, and left many souvenirs of
the trip and from their brief stay
and general hustling ability we Will
say that no doubt much good will be
done by this trip, and while they
were here but some two hours. they
dined while here, made visits all
through the business section, filled
their tanks Gear tanks with gasoline),
watered and proceeded on their jour
ney, leaving a good impression be-
hind them, and we hope they will
have as pleasant trip all along the
line as they had experienced so far
when here.
This Is an ideal way to become &C
quainted and 1t shows a town that
will get up into the harness in this
manner, there Is something behind
them to cause it, and there is no
better advertising feature than this
and much good will be the result
If Hooker could see her way clear
to start such an expedition to Frisco
to attend the big show there, and to
better place Hooker on the map, as
busy as we are, we would consider
the trip, provided expenses were paid,
for no editor ever has enough money
at one time to make such a trip, and
no doubt there will be many PROPOSE
tons made to us as soon as this
weeks issue is out, to make the trip,
but we fear it will be "one way
passage" only.
Well, here's hoping the Liberal
boosters have most delightful time |
and safe return, and we hope to |
meet them again at some future time. |

Beaver Herald


More than a hundred wide-awake
business men and women of Liberal.
Kansas, visited Beaver Wednesday
afternoon on their booster trip of
over two hundred miles through the
trade territory of their town. The
bunch left Liberal, Kansas, Tuesday
morning in twenty-five automobiles,
motoring to Tyrone where they made
their first stop. They then proceed
ed to Hooker. Gray and Ochiltree,
Texas, spending the first night at
Ochiltree. The following day stops
were made at LaKemp, Balko, Bea-
yer, Forgan, Florls and Lorena and
the jolly crowd returned to their
homes for a good rest the second
night after covering more than two
hundred miles of territory, spreading
good cheer and good will everywhere
they went and advertising their town
and its coming attractions, the chau-
tauqua, which commences August 7th
and continues Ave days, and the big
Southwest Fair, September 14-15-16-
II, in the best possible manner.
Beaver felt gratifled that the LIB
eral boosters came this way and they
we're accorded hearty welcome. The
band was out to welcome them on
their arrival and they were given the
glad hand In true western, whole
hearted style and given to under
stand that the town was theirs so
long as they were with us. They had
their own band, which is a splendid
organization. with them, and they
gave a couple of concerts which were
greatly enjoyed by our people. After
. splendid dinner which had been
previously arranged for at the White
House hotel everybody met at the
courthouse where words of welcome
and response were exchanged, the
Liberal band played a number of
quartet favored the crowd with sew
eral good, catchy numbers. In the
meantime the boosters were distrib-
uting literature, cards and souvenirs
A stop of about three hours was made
here and there was something doing
all the time. At last the time came

Of them went on their way rejoicing

DIPPING TO DESTROY TICKS
Shepherd Of Wisconsin Experiment
Station Recommends Sheep Be
Treated Soon After Shearlne.

Surprising as 1t may seem, there
are some sheep owners who do not
seem to realize the Importance of dip.
ping their focks."
Frank Kleinheinz shepherd of the
Wisconsin experiment station focks,
ever mindful OF Wisconsins sheep
raising possibilities. was urging farm
ers to give their flocks the care neces-
sary for them to do we'll on the su-
perior pastures generally provided for
them.
Sheep which have gone through
the winter infected with ticks have
certainly suffered day and night from
the constant annoyance caused them
by these pests" he continued. Much
of the food given the flock went for
the support OF the ticks.
After the flock has been sheared,
nearly all Of the ticks leave the old
sheep and crawl on to the lambs
where they have more comfortable |
shelter and younger and fresher blood
TO suck.
AS the ticks become more numer-
GUS the lambs become thinner and
the farmers prospective profits soon
fade"
Mr.. Kleinheinz recommends that.
both sheep and lambs be dipped as soon
as possible after shearing. He has
found that 1t promotes their health,
insures better gains, and prepares
them to go on the market in the pink
of condition, ready to command the
highest prices.
Any Of the good coal tar dips now
on the market If properly used are
satisfactory tick destroyers.

cts sounding and colors flying, much
to the surprise of the men when they
arrived and were least expecting to
meet their wives, sweethearts or
friends as the case might be, at this
place. Their arrival only added to
the pleasure of the event and made
the occasion all the merrier. All
were agreed that it was no use trying
to get ahead of the women of Liberal
and we'll wager q cookie that in the
future when booster trips are being
planned at that place that the women
will be included. The Commercial
Clubs" party came in seven autos,
five of which we're driven by ladies.
There were only two men in the dele
cation.
During the visit of the Liberal
Boosters to our little city the Herald
Office received call from a large
number of the delegation among
whom were Mr.. and Mrs. A. l.. He
bert, of the Liberal Democrat; Bay
Millman, of the News Abe X Stout
er, pioneer newspaper man of Liber-
al but now county clerk; II. w. Ma
gruder, DR.. f. f. Pellette, Roy Col
ller and a number of ladies and gen
tlemen whose names we did not get.
We found them all enthusiastic and
in high spirits and we enjoyed their
calls immensely. Come again, all
