A SMALL BLAZE

The fire department was called out
Friday afternoon to squelch a small
blaze in one of the buildings back of
the Citizens State Bank. The shed
was used to do the gasoline washing
and storing for Jackson's dry clean
ing establishment, and it seems that
some boys playing around the build
ing discovered the gas tank and
thought they would see how the
gasoline would look with match
applied to it. Accordingly they turned
the faucet in the tank and let the gas
run over piece of burning paper,
with the result that business picked
UP hurriedly. No serious damage
was done to the contents of the
building. but the building itself was
considerably smoked up before the
fire wagon got there.

HANCoCK Buys A BLocK

Chas. e. Hancock, home builder
and town booster, has this week
closed deal for an entire block,
consisting of forty lots, in the Sun
nyside addition. Charlie will erect
modern residence for himself on
these lots next spring, and will put
up several more good homes for rent
or sale, on easy terms. This part of
the addition should be called Han
cock Block" as he is the first one to
buy an entire block at time. He is
also working on two other residences
in the addition that will be for sale in
the near future. Hancock is one man
who makes all his investments in his
home town and Liberal could use
few more like him.

START A DISTRIBUTING POINT
N. HERE

The Dodge City Wholesale Grocery
Co. has leased the building formerly
occupied by W. e. Wilson on Third
street, and is making arrangements
ito use the same as a distributing
house for their stock. They will car
ry q complete line of groceries and
provisions and expect to add a cold
storage and produce department next
spring. Clay Fulton of Hooker, an
experienced grocer, will be manager
of the Liberal branch, and with his
lhustling abilities should soon have an
excellent trade worked up for his
firm. 1t always looks like towns
financial conditions are sound when
the wholesale houses begin locating
in it, and we believe the Dodge City
people look at it in the same way or
they wouldn't start branch house
in Liberal.

INSPECT YOUR FLUEs

Every chimney and fiue in the city
Of Liberal should be inspected care
fully before fires are started this fall.
Defective fues caused 265 fires in
Kansas last year, aggregating loss
OF quarter Of a million dollars in
property. Still more property was
destroyed by the spreading Of fires
already started by these defective
fiues and other original causes.
Do little missionary work. A fire
in your neighbor's house may destroy
your house as we'll as his own. You
will be abundantly rewarded in the
added safety to your home and BUSH
ness.

big Seventh district of Kansas, spoke
to an overflowing audience at the
court house Wednesday evening. The
meeting had been well advertised and
the people responded in fine shape.
Chairman Romer introduced Sam
Buckland, a SON of Mr.. and Mrs. o. P.
Buckland of Liberal, who is the
Democratic nominee for attorney
general, who made about a five-min-
utes' talk, during which he intro
duced Mr.. Shouse. Mr.. Shouse held
the audience spellbound from the
very start, and at different times
when he paused for breath or to al
low his words to sink in you could
have heard pin drop in any part of
the house. His speech was not the
usual fiamboyant political oratory. 1t
was a masterful presentation OF ac-
complishments OF the Democratic
administration. After review Of

explanation Of the workings Of the
recent rural credits law, he took up
the arguments Of the opposition and
punctured 1t full of holes, severely ex-
coriating Mr.. Hughes for Withholding
suggestions on pending legislation
since he became candidate and then
and finding fault with the
bills after they were passed. He
showed where over two-thirds Of the
Republican members in both houses
of congress supported and voted for
nearly every bill that has come un-
der the displeasure Of Mr.. Hughes
and his party leaders, but against
