Carrie F. Hays

Carrie Florence Edison was born in
Hancock county, Illinois, on August
3, 1871, and died at Wichita, Kansas,
on February q, 1915. She had been
alling for several years and had spent
a greater part of the time in hospitals
and health resorts in hopes Of finding
relief, and was in Wichita hospital
at the time of her death. She was
married to T. A. Hays on December
II, 1894. and leaves a husband and
three sons to mourn her taking away.
Mrs. Hays united with the Christ
ian church several years ago, and
lived a consistent christian life. The
body was shipped to Liberal from
Wichita, and interment was made in
the Liberal cemetary, Rev. Bolton of
the Christian church preaching the
funeral sermon. Mrs. Hays was a
sister of the Edison brothers Of this
city, and was we'll known and liked
by the people Of the town. The Dem
ocrat joins the friends of the family
in extending the hand of sympathy to
the bereaved ones.

In Their New Location

The Liberal Creamery company has
this week moved into its new brick
building on Second street which was
recently completed. They have a
splendid location and building, and
have apparently built with an eye to
the future The entire interior of
the building is kalsomined and the
woodwork is painted white, which,
with plenty of windows and openings
will furnish all the light needed.
The creamery, ice cream factory and
candy kitchen are now all located In
one building. 1t is so arranged as to
keep it sanitary at all times, which
Dan easily be done with the modern
Improvements installed. The cream
cry business in the Southwest Is
growing by leaps and bounds, and 1t
won't be long before 1t takes a lead
ing place among farm products. The
town of Liberal may justly congratu-
late itself that we have an institution
large enough to keep pace with the
business for many years to come.

George FRITZ in Town

Geo. M. FRITZ of Guymon passed
through town Tuesday, while on his
way to Oklahoma City, where he In
tends to tell the Oklahoma solons a
few things in the way of needed legis-
lation they have so far overlooked.
He made us a short call while here
and told us few things we didn't
know. Georges parents moved to
Liberal In 1888, when the town was
just started, and consequently he con-
siders this his old stamping ground.
He was educated in the Liberal
schools, and some of our most prom
inent citizens were his classmates at
the time. He finally moved with
his parents to old Beaver county, con-
tracted the Office itch In 1912, was
elected clerk Of the distrlc court over
strong republican opponent, and
was reelected In 1914 by the largest
majority ever given candidate in
Texas county. He runs like scared
rabbit in campaign, and we know
Of nothing that can possibly prevent
his becoming president some day.
George is a prince among men, such a
fellow as one likes to tie to, and the
town of Liberal should feel proud of
such worthy son. If he were not
So confounded modest we would ask
him TO write a short history of the
town for publication in the Democrat,
but we figure it would take more urg-
Ing on our part than we are capable
of performing. Nevertheless, he is a
walking encyclopedia on Liberals
past, and good prognosticator of
her future.

Change in Time Table

A new schedule for the Rock Is
land went into effect on Monday.
While the new time table will be
more satisfactory generally to those
going to and from Liberal, it will
knock out the % minutes for din
ner and supper heretofore enjoyed by
the passengers of trains No. l and 2.
The new schedule is as follows: Train
No. l. arrives at lao p. m. and stJps
10 minutes; No. 2 arrives at 9;40 a. M,
and stops only minutes; No.
arrives at ll:40 p. M, and No at
6:20 a. m. The two latter trains stop
only minutes each. No. 75l, known
as the plug, gets in at 500 p. M, and
No. 1852 leaves at lao p. M, at the
same time No. l arrives. Nos. l, 2,
3 and 4 will carry dining cars. The
Cimarron hotel is thinking about
closing Its dining room in the neal
future, as the new arrangement OF
train service has seriously interferec
with its patronage.

A Big Land Deal

A big real estate deal was consul
minated recently when A. P. Haynes
bought a section of land from John
W. Baughman, paying $1,000 for the
same. Mr.. Haynes recently sold his
half section for $1,000, his reason for
selling being the desire to farm a
larger acreage, which this deal will do,
and at the same time he will own one
of the incest sections In Seward coun.
ty. 1t is located 3 miles northeast OF
town. Mr.. and Mrs. Haynes came
here in 1905, since which time they
have worked hard and made some
thing every year. They will begin
the erection Of a modern home at
once on their new farm, and will in
stall all the latest conveniences to
take care Of their feed and cattle.
Mr.. Haynes was one Of those whosold
his wheat early last year, getting
only 66 cents per bushel for IT, but
even at that figure 1t brought him
nearly 1000, of which 81 900 or there
abouts was clean profit. 1t is farm
ers Of this type who make country
come to the front, and we hope there
will be more like him In years to come.

friends are working with vim.
Why? Because they see and appre-
ciate the spirit of fairness. We are

we are not making it possible for
some one of the contestants to come
in at the last minute and get a great
big bonus for holding their votes.

PASTOR RESIGNS.

Rev. George w. Burke, pastor Of the
Methodist Episcopal church, has re-
signed his pastorate in Bellows Falls to
take effect the last Sunday in this
month. His resignation has been &C
copied and he will go to Mortified,
this State, where he will succeed Rev.
DR.. j. R. Gates, who will go as a
missionary to Africa. Rev. G. W..
Burke was born in Ireland and was
graduated from the McGill university in
Montreal. He entered the Vermont
conference in 1896 and preached in
North Hero that year. In 1897 and
1898 he was in Isle La Motto and from
1899 to 1903 was located in West Enos-
burg. From 1903 to 1909 he was in
Fairfax and Westford and in 1910 sue

The resignation of Col. Herbert T.
johnson of the First Infantry, Vermont
National Guard, removes an efficient
officer from the military service of the
State. Col. johnson has been con-
nected with the organized militia since
his boyhood. Coming from an old
military family, the Johnsons of New
bury, he enlisted in the old Bradford
company as private and worked his
way up until he was captain of the COM
pany during the Spanish war. AS
battillon and regimental officer, he
has been a hard worker, a strict
disciplinarian, and a competent leader.
A man of high principles, his influence
on the entire regiment has been good.
1t is probably well for the service that
other men should be trained in positions
of responsibility, but that can not re-
move regret at the loss of so valuable
an officer as Col. johnson.

MR.. w. N. CADY CITED.


The editor of the Free Press yesterday
enjoyed brief period of communion with
MIR. w. N. Cady of Mddlebury, master
of the Vermont State Grange, who con-
firmed in every particular what we have
been saying about the promotion of
Vermont farm interests. The very
first need of the farmers everywhere is
cooperative effort. and we believe the
Grange affords an organization through
which that end can be secured. We have
insisted all along that the farmers of
Vermont and Northern New York did
not appreciate their opportunities as a
class and were Understanding the in
trinsic and inherent value of their
farms.
In the first place Mr.. Cady who has
visited twenty-six States in connection
with his trip to the meeting of the Ma
tional Grange in Oakland, CAL,
suburb of San Francisco, found that
land as productive as the good farms of
Vermont is held far above the soil of
the Green Mountain State. He found
land in some parts of Iowa to be worth
from 500 to $500 per acre. Orchard
lands in California no better than ours
q,
They largely depend upon irrigation,
and if the supply of water fails for any
reason some of the land is practically
worthless.
We are glad to say that the Grange
in Vermont is working in every possible
way to promote appreciation of the OPP
portunlties tor young men and women
in our State. Many of US have to 90
away from home like Mr.. Cady to fully
realize the chances to make great in
vestments in Vermont and the same
thing is true of northern New York and
New Hampshire.
A real estate dealer told US yesterday
of woman who had come to Burling-
ton from the Canadian northwest to
seek little place for a home, War
conditions have served to lead many
people to come from all parts of the
Dominion to the United States. They
are burdened with the war now and
they know after the struggle is over
they will be burdened for years with
heavy war taxes.
The good woman said her family had
fine home which they had been offered
between $4,000 and 10000, but they
could not sell to good advantage now.
She had come mere to find a little place
where the sanity can live in the hope
that after the war is ended, they can
dispose of their former home in Canada
Mr.. Cady on his journey through diff
ferent States In the West found that
thousands were coming from Canada to
the United States. In the western
States they find land mostly held at
enormous figures, and as a consequence
they are coming back to old New
England and New York, where land is
cheaper than anywhere else in the
country. 1t will not remain cheap long
however.

FIREMEN HAVE COLD RIDE.

The automobile truck from Burling-
ton in response to still alarm from
Underhill flats at 1890 Saturday MORN
ing made a trip that will not be
soon forgotten by the firemen from
station l. The night was cold and
there was a heavy snowstorm. The
drifts near Fort Ethan Allen and
Essex Center were from three to four
feet deep in some places. The truck
made good time Notwithstanding bad
going, arriving 35 minutes after the
start was made. The fire was found
to be in the house and barn of L. P.
Metcalf and had already burned to the
ground when the Burlington depart
ment appeared on the scene. A bucket
brigade had been formed and garden
hose was used, but the blaze was too
much for them.

[ Continued From Page l J

State vs.. Elsie Kimball was called at
the forenoon session. The respondent
is Ferrisburg young woman and was
charged on information with having
committed perjury in Judge Donoway's
court in Ferrisburg November %, last.
She pleaded guilty to the information
and was at once sentenced to serve not
more than four years and not less than
three years at hard labor in the State
prison at Windsor, but the sentence
was suspended and the young woman
was put on probation for four years..
The jury came in for the third time
at 2 10 p. m. and stated that they were
still unable to agree. They were then
excused from the case and discharged
for the term. The two Middlebury
members of the petit jury were not
discharged, but were held in reserve
as a nucleus for the formation of
another jury later, should an occasion
arise to require one.

on the inside of the right hand and on
the back of the left. 1t is thought the
man came in contact with the primary
