Friday going over matters with local

ber of paintings on exhibition that
attracted much attention from the
visitors. Quite few were works of
art done by her pupils, and included

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MEETING

Five good talks were given at the
Chamber of Commerce meeting held
last Friday night. The talks were
along the line of what can be accom-
plished for Liberal throughout the
Chamber of Commerce and were
profitable and inspiring as we'll as en-
tertaining.
Mr.. Bert Hobble spoke shortly ON
How Chamber of Commerce Could
Have Benefited Liberal in the Past"
His principal idea was that II we had
had Chamber of Commerce in the
past the men of the town would have
been educated to work together for
the good of Liberal and we would be
in better position to get big things
for the town now. The speaker Of
fered many valuable suggestions
along the lines of what we need now.
Among other things was the beauti-
flying of the streets and buildings.
better schools, and good auditori-
um for the town meetings
Mr.. o. D. Nichol spoke on what
benefit l expect to derive from my
membership In the Chamber of Com
merce." He invited the business
men of the town and those interest
ed in the Farmers institute to attend
the next meeting of that organiza-
ton. He spoke of how much good
roads were needed and the benefit
the people of the town and farmers
alike would derive from them. He
recommended the Chamber of Com
merce as the place for the farmers
and town people to get together and
work out the problems which mean
80 much to both.
Mr.. Scheark made an interesting
talk telling of the construction and
maintenance of the new sewerage
system now being installed. After
his talk several questions were asked
and a general discussion was held
which proved very beneficial to the
entire meeting.
Mr.. w. H. Graves gave very in
teresting and entertaining talk ON
why man should join the Cham
ber of Commerce" His talk fol-
lowed the lines that IL you do not
want your business to amount to any
thing you do not boost it and the
same thing applies to your town. His
idea was II you want your business
to grow and develop you advertise 1t
and push 1t and that is what is neces-
sary to do with your town.
Mr.. H. A. Gaskill talked on what
the Chamber of Commerce can do for
Liberal in the future" His talk was
made up of suggestions of the things
which can be accomplished for the
town. He gave the idea that we have
a good town and good place to live
and now what we want is a better
town and better place to live.
There are many things which we can
do to held our town and now is the
time to start to do them.
The big thing which the meeting
accomplished was to get before the
members the number Of things that
can be accomplished by the members
working together for the good of Lib
eral. These things were listed and it
is the purpose Of the organization to
take each one up at the proper time
and work for everything that is for
the good of the town and surround
ing country.

Sing, o barren, thou that didst not
bear; break forth into singing. and cry
aloud thou that didst not travail with
child: for more are the children OF the
desolate than the children OF the mar
ried wife, saith the Lord.
Enlarge the place of thy tent. and let
them stretch forth the curtains OF
thine habitatiQns. spare not, iengtben
thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes !;
For thou shalt break forth on the
right hand and on the left and thy
seed shall inherit the Gentiles. and
make the desolate cities to be inhab-
tied
Fear not; for thou shalt not be
ashamed; neither thou be confounded: ::
for thou shalt not be put TO shame: /:
for thou shalt forget the shame of thy
youth, and shalt not remember the re-
proach of thy widowhood any more.
For thy Maker is thine husband; the
Lord of Hosts is his name; and thy
Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The
God OF the whole earth shall he be
called
For the Lord hath called thee as a
woman forsaken and grieved in spirit,
and a wife of youth, when thou vast
refused. saith thy God
For a small moment have / forsaken
thee; but with great mercies will l
gather thee.

of you TO think about the matter
Many, many girls have suffered from
rudeness of the same kind. OF course
you have been hurt and can't forget
easily The boy cannot be sensitive

so crude a thing.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a young

in love with girl 16. We are engaged
10 be married in a few years. Mother
does not approve of the girl. as she
is not of the same religion and ma
tionality. A few evenings past heard
of a remark she passed about my sis
ter. asked her If this was true, and
she denied it. I believed her, as I
love her, and perhaps someone is try
ing TO break our friendship. Do you
think that ! did right TO believe her.
and would our marriage be a happy
one under these conditions?
MP.
Believe in the girl until something
comes up to give you positive reason
to doubt her. She is too young TO be
engaged. In four years both you and
she will change so much that you may
find yourselves utterly unsuited 10
each other Don't think OF marriage
until you are 25 and your tastes will
have become more settled. The differ
ences in your religion and nationality
should be considered seriously, be-
cause such differences are very often
the cause of great unhappiness and
divorce.
