Rev. HoIshouser Resigns

Rev. II. A. NJ. Holshouser, who has
been pastor OF the Presbyterian
church of Liberal for about three
years, has resigned his charge and is
thiiTkiHg seriously of changing loca-
tiOns. He has received a call from
the church in Winston-Salem, North
Carolina, near which place he served
seven year pastorate, and where he
is well known. Winston-Salem is a
thriving Southern city OF about 4O,OOO
population and is noteG for its large
manufacturing interests. 1t has
three railroads and is one Of the fast
est growing towns in the south, and
would be very desirable place to
live should Rev. HOlshouser decide 10
accept the charge. Rev. Holshouser is
a well educated, fOrceful preacher
and lie and his family have made
many friends during his pastorate
here who will regret to see them
leave Liberal. The change will be
made April l.

Making Some improvements

Our Greek friend, Alex Pappas, is
making some substantial improve
ments in the Athens Confectionery,
and when he gets through he will
have one Of thsaS,e ,eai21, ~ ,bments
Of its kind along Gis. Rock Island.
He is papering the walls and painting
the ceiling, tearing out old partitions
and arranging the fixtures in such a
way that he will be better able to
handle the cold drink and ice cream
trade next summer than ever before
Alex Is one foreigner who has spent
the few years he has been over here
in working and saving his money in
stead of cussing the government and
claiming there was no chance for a
poor man, and today he is reckoned as
one OF Liberals good citizens and
conservative business men. If all
foreigners who have settled in Amer
lea had panned out as well there never
would have been any talk Of the lit
eracy test, exclusion of foreign immi-
grants, or other problems of like ma
ture.

$3.50 Per Year
Judge H. V. Tucker Dead

The citizens of Liberal were
shocked early Monday morning when
the news was phoned around that
Judge Henry V. Tucker had died
suddenly few moments before. He
awakened that morning apparently
in the best of health and spirits,
spoke few pleasant words to Mrs.
Tucker and turned over seemingly to
take another nap before arising.
Mrs. Tucker got up and dressed and
considered it unusual that her hus-
band failed to get up at the same
time; she called him and got no re-
sponse, an investigation showed that
life had departed-t Judge had ans
wered the summons to appear before
Him who has final and everlasting
jurisdiction over all.
Henry Voltaire Tucker was born in
Warren county, Kentucky, February
q, 1874, and died at Liberal, Kansas,
Feburary22, 1915, lacking four days of
being Il years old. Heleavesa widow,
two sons, II. V. junior, and Charles,
one sister and two brothers, besides
large number of friends, to mourn
his sudden taking away. He was
married to Miss Nellie Skeggs on
September q, 1877. He joined the
Christian church in early manhood
and was charter member of the Lib
eral church of that denomination.
The Judge came to Morton county
In 1886, and moved to Liberal In 1890.
He devoted his life to farming and
the practice of law, which he gave up
a few years ago. Judge Tucker was
man of large acquaintance and we'll
thought of by those who knew
him best. He was considered an
old timer here, was a prominent
character in his day and took a big
part in making the Southwest and
the town OF Liberal what they are
todoy. His life was one of usefulness
and activity, anb the world is better
place for his having lived and labored
in it. We believe he has already
heard the welcome words from Him
who reigns supreme, "Well done, good
and faithful servant enter into the
JOYS of thy Lord
Funeral services were held Wednes-
day afternoon, Rev. II. f. Bolton of
the Christian church Officiating. In
terment was made IN the Liberal
cemetary.

Fine Snow and Rain

Seward county and the southwest
generally were blessed with an abun-
dant supply of moisture since our
last issue, A light rain started fall
ing Saturday morning which soon
turned into heavy snow, covering
the ground to a depth of about 6
inches. No wind accompanied the
snow and it renamed right where 1t
fell. 1t was so moist, however, that
the first few hours fall melted as fast
as it hit the ground. A light rain
started falling Sunday night and
turned into a snow Monday morning,
which continued until nearly night.
1t was steady downfall all day and
was of the variety that did lots of
good. Nearly two-inch preclpita-
tion was recorded at the weather bu-
reau, which was enough to give the
wheat an extra good start and put
the land in good shape for spring
plowing. We believe business will
pick up on the farms in short time.

Rev. Ward Remembers Us

The editor OF the Democrat Is In
receipt of complimentary copy Of
Variety In the Prayer Meeting" a
book recently written and published by
Rev. VIM. II. Ward, pastor of the
Methodist church at Liberal. The
book contains nearly 200 pages and is
primarily intended as a manual for
leaders of prayer meetings. The
prayer meeting is Rev. Ward special
hobby in church work, and he has de-
voted much attention to that part Of
the service. Incidently, he has gath
cred about him very enthusiastic
bunch for the weekly meetings, and
the attendance at prayer meeting In
the Methodist church is sometimes
nearly as large as for Sunday services.
The book shows careful study Of the
subject at hand, and is we'll worth a
conspicuous position In everyone's
library, whether an attendant or not.
We take pleasure in placing 1t in ours.

WHITE SLAvERS
PLYING TRADE
EXTRAORDINARY EFFORTS ARE
BEING MADE TO BREAK TT UP
IN PANAMA.
q AssocTATED PREss.

Panama, Aug. 14.-Extraordinary
efforts are being made by the Amer
lean authorities on the isthmus to
break up the increasing "whise-slave"
trade in Central America.
The traffic has increased because
of the war in Europe and the fact
that a large number of American
soldiers are being stationed on the
Canal Zone within a short distance
from each Of the two Panama towns
Of Colon and Panama. Both of the
night~life districts In these cities have
been greatly extended until now they
cover very large restricted areas.
It is diffiscult for the trafiekers to
bring girls into the Canal Zone be-
cause of the strict laws and the vigil
lance of the Canal Zone Police. This,
however, is not the case in the repub-
lie.
1t has been learned that central
agency has been established in Ssn
Jose, Costa Rica. The girls come into
Panama by way of the island city
of David in the province Of Chiriqui
which borders on Costa RIGA.

PALMER COLLEGE

DeFuniak, Aug. 14.-Extensive
changes are being made in Newton
hall in preparation for the re-opening
of the college on the 18th of Septem-
Der. Practically the whole first floor
win be occupied by the Assembly
hall and recitation rooms, and the
rooms of Prof. Kemper and his fam
lily. The second floor will be used as
dornnitory for the boys with accom-
mediation for 35 boys. On the first
floor some partitions have been re-
moved, and others put in, so as to pro-
vide abundant class room space, all
being airy and well lighted. Tablet
arm, iron base chairs have been or
dered for seating the classes.
The board of trustees has realized
that the faculty is perhaps the most
important factor in making an ideal
school. They have, therefore, gone
very carefully and diligently into the
selection of the new members of the
teahcing force. Rev. D. ]. Currie,
who comes as pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, has been en-
gagged to teach Bible, a course which
is REQUIRED of all studentss It ia
