Sunshine" Williams
Town

Ray Williams, better known as
Sunshine" disciple Of the late
Ebert Hubbard and at present con-
nected with the Roycrofters of East
Aurora passed through Liberal Tues
day on his return trip from the San
Francisco exposition. He left Frisco
in April and has covered most of the
journey on foot, stopping here to rest
for the day He carries about fifty
pounds of baggage in a grain sack on
his back, and leads the merry hobo
life from preference. Sunshine" Is
known as 1.-THE hobo poet" and dis
tributes his poems along his route.
He wears long hair a Ia Hubbard,
and a side view of the left side OF his
face bears a remarkable resemblance
to the lamented sage of East Aurora.
He has been connected with the
Hubbard publications for eighteen
years and Is at present forty eight
years old, although one would hardly
judge him to be over thirty-hve.
Sunshine" spent couple Of hours
with US telling us about his past,
present and future, and we found him
a brilliant entertainer and converse
tlonlist. He has spent years In the
newspaper game and always makes a
dive for the newspaper offices the
first thing when he hits town. AL
though at present leading life that
means Encouragement and possibly
crime for many men, Williams takes
philosophical view of the world and
never worries one day about what
may happen to him the next. He is
on his way back to New York at this
time and is gathering notes for the
writing Of book, copy Of which
he has promised to send us as soon as
it is of the press. We hope he will
remember the promise as we have an
idea that it will prove interesting
reading,

Some Fine Peaches

N. A. Smith, one of the good farm.
ers living near Hayne, was In the
Office Wednesday and presented the
Democrat household with several
specimens of the finest peaches we
ever saw. On one twig were two
peaches grown together solldly, each
perfectly matured and of excellent
flavor; another twig had four peaches
in the same condition but smaller In
size, and Mr. Smith says several of
his trees had clusters ef five peaches
each He has q number of fruit
trees on his farm that make heavy
yield every year, and he thinks 1t is
utterly foolish for people to move to
other states to go into the fruit rails
ing business. Not only is Mr.. Smith
successful in raising peaches, but he
has nearly 300 hundred acres of wheat
land ready for sowing, on which he
has only hired three days work done,
and has done considerable wheat haul
ing and harvest work for his neigh
bors during the summer. He came
here from Missouri in 1907 with prac-
tically nothing, but today he can buy
many of his former Missouri neigh
bors who scoffed at the idea several
years ago ofcoming to Seward county.

Miss Grace Morgan Married

Miss Grace Morgan, formerly edi-
tor OF the Democrat, was married re-
Gently to Mr.. p. H. Wimpey. She
has many friends In Liberal who will
join us In extending congratulations
The following account appeared In
last weeks issue OF the Cherokee COX
lahoma) Messenger:
Miss Grace Morgan and Mr.. P. IL.
Wimpey OF Fairview, Oklahoma, were
quietly united in the bonds OF Holy
Matrimony at the home Of the bride
In Cherokee, at I O'Clock Wednesday
evening, W. G. Shaw ofilciating."
THE above was handed us by the
officiating pastor, which prompts
further reference, inasmuch as MISS
Morgan was for a number Of years
connected with this paper as compos-
itor and associate editor. She has
few equals for industry, having had
to make her own way In the world.
Grace Is a noble woman, meriting the
affection Of as noble man as we
know Mr.. Wlmpy to be. Mr.. Wimpey
was . resident of Cherokee for
number of years before going to Fair
view, and later Miss Morgan located
there and was connected with the
Fairvlew Republican, and also the
Leader, She later purchased an In
terest and later the full control OF
the Liberal, Kansas, Democrat, which
she made one OF the best papers In
that state in its field and capacity"
"The Messenger most cheerfully
joins the host OF friends Of this happy
couple in wishes for happiness and
prosperity, wherever they may cast
their lot"

The Daredevil Slide"

Richard New, the balloonist who
fell from a height of about 1000 feet
three years ago in Dodge City, Is in
Liberal and will make Daredevil
Slide for Life" from the top OF one
of Liberals tallest business buildings
on a No. 8 wire. Mr.. New nearly lost
his life In the fall at Dodge City, but
didn't lose his nerve, and will per-
form this stunt regardless of the fact
that he has both limbs amputated
Just below the knees. 1t will be
worth seeing Oand you had better
stick around tomorrow about 3
o'clock, at which time the perform
ance is scheduled to happen, The
act will be free, as the expenses have
been met by the businessmen.

Liberal 4; Dalhart 2

One of the best games of the season
was played on the Liberal grounds
last Sunday The boys from Dalhart
came up with blood In the eye and
intended to walk of with the game,
but the Liberal boys developed a
little spunk themselves and refused
to let them have 1t. Consequently
there ensued real battle.
Liberal scored one in the first, and
for several innings 1t looked like that
would be the only run Of the game,
but in the sixth the home boys be-
gan swinging their war clubs In pretty
style, and took three more. Harry
Rife and Dee Gill worked one OF the
best games In their careers; not one
Of the Dalhart meh reached first un-
til the eighth, and many Of them
were out by taking "thres swings"
In the eighth DGlhart man
reached first on an error, was sacri-
feed to second, and scored on a two
bagger to center, their only hit dur
ing the entire game. Again in the
ninth, they worked run across by
way Of an error, stolen base and
two sacrifices,
One thousand eyes and lO4 auto
lamps watched the game from the
grandstand and side lines. The boys
came out little to the good hnan-
cially after the expenses Of the game
had been paid. Next Sunday is Och
iltree's time to be "skun.", Get out
and watch the game. The Liberal
team is getting better right along,
and will soon be In shape to clean up
any team that pokes its head over
the horizon.

Sparkling" is Dangerous

A campaign against sparkling" is
on In Kansas. Sparkling" has been
proven to be very costly and danger
Gus form OF amusement. This state
ment may seem to be rather heart
less and brutal assault upon time
honored institution whose traditions
go back to the very dawn of civiliza-
tion. But feeling must yield to cold,
hard facts, and sentiment must bow
to the stern decree of science. Grand
fathers and grandmothets IS good old
days are gone forever. The ruthless
hand OF progress that swept away the
dlstaff and the spinning wheel now
invades the chimney corner with all
its hallowed memories. However, 1t
is not its purpose to lessen the worlds
store OF Joy, but rather to take away
some OF the worlds sorrow. IL is
not the innocent sparkling" OF the
youthful sweethearts that is endang-
cred. 1t Is the surreptitious and Ill
egitimate sparkling OF the chimney
itself upon which the assault is d.
rected. Last year sparks from
chimneVs caused 2l6 fires in Kansas,
with a reported property loss of near
ly $4,000, Sparks of all kinds caused
3l5 fires, with a reported loss Of over
$1,000 Properly constructed chin
neys and noninhammable roofs and
yards free from waste paper and
trash are Ithe remedlesfor sparkling"
Due care would prevent practically
all fires from sparks.
