Next week is Fair week and in or

Therefore,
Don't run your auto with the muf-

Don't park within 10 feet Of the

hitch ON Kansas avenue unless to

liability for accidents.

Z. lEII.x.Goy. ST.. JOHN DIES

John P. st. John, one time COVER
nor of Kansas and candidate fol
President of the United States on the
Prohibition ticket in the late eighties
passed away the last of the week al
his home in Olathe, Kansas. 1t was
under Governor st. Johns admins
tration that Kansas passed her first
prohibition law, and that law, al
though frequently violated, has never
been repealed. He was the grand old
man of the Prohibition movement,
and was active on the lecture plat
form until a few fonths ago, not
withstanding his age, which was over
so years. His funeral was held at
Olathe Monday, at which speeches
were made by Governor Capper, for
mer Governor Hodges, and other
prominent men of the state and the
Prohibition party.

WON TWO LOVING CUPS

Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Taylor returned
Sunday night from Boston, Massa-
chusetts, where they attended the
fourteenth annual convention of Rex
all dealers. Charlie brought back two
loving cups as prizes in contests. One
was "tug of war" in which the st.
Louis team, of which Charlie was a
member, was the winner, and the
other was "Sparring on the Mast"
whatever that might be. Charlie
says, however, that both contests
were real strenuous for a man who
is accumulating his weight Of avoir-
dupois. He reports fine trip and
royal time at the convention, and ac-
cording to the writeups in the Bos-
ton papers of those dates, copies of
which he has, it must have been
great affair.

is NOW PART OF THE CITY

At the regular meeting of the city
council Tuesday night the Sunnyside
addition was taken into the corporate
limits Of the City Of Liberal. The
water mains, electric light and tele-
phone lines will be extended into the
new addition, and everything is be-
ing done to provide it with all the
conveniences enjoyed by other parts
of town. John Baughman even had
the nerve to suggest that the sewer
system be extended through it, but
failed to get the deal over. How
ever, the lot sale is going ON and
already number of lots have been
sold and building will be started on
most of them in the near future. On
another page of the Democrat you
will find a half page ad. telling all
about 1t. Look 1t over.

KrsMEr-s PICNIC A SUCCESS

The picnic at Kismet Monday was
a success, being as we'll attended as
was expected. Since the recent rains
have enabled the farmers to work
the ground, many Of the farmers who
had not as yet been able to do their
work before were in their fields. But
there were hundreds of visitors at
Kismet. The committee In charge
had prepared an interesting program.
The Meade band was present and
played merrily the entire day. The
main street presented the appearance
of fair grounds with the lemonade
and ice cream stands, the novelty
stores, the merry-go-round and the
doll racks. The crowds were good
natured, no trouble reported. The
feature entertainments were the po-
tato race on horseback, the mailing
contest by the ladies, and the base
ball game, Kismet VS.. Plains.
The town of Kismet is demanding
attention of the outside world by rea-
son of it's prosperity and the activi-
ties of its business men and boosters.
The town is making a substantial
growth and has long since outgrown
Plains, which was for years the only
town between Meade and the Capital
City of the Southwest.
The business men and the boosters
of Kismet are to be congratulated for
their efforts in entertaining the peo-
pie at least once year. Last year
they had a barbecue and the sue
cess of that venture will ever be re-
membered. These annual get-to-
gether affairs are helpful to any
town, and Kismet will get its share,
and it deserves all the prosperity In
the world.-Ray Millman.

WANTS TO PUT IN A STREET CAR

j. L. Eubank of Beaver county has
been in town interviewing the busi-
ness men relative to putting in a
street car or two on the streets of
Liberal. His plan is to run a motor
car suitable for seating about eigh-
teen passengers, which is to have the
right of way in the center of the
streets, and have precedence over all
other traffic. Only certain streets
would be used and 1t is expected to
make the rounds every thirty min
utes. We have not learned what de-
gree of encouragement he has re-
ceived from the business ben inter-
viewed nor whether there is any like
lihood of the system being installed.
Many of them prefer to wait few
years until the city is large enough
to have paving and then put in real
system that runs on its own tracks.

CAMP MEETING GOING ON

A ten-days' camp meeting, under
the auspices of the Southwestern
nterdenominationa Camp Meeting
Association, is in progress at the big
tent near the Friends church, and q
good attendance is reported at each
service. Several prominent minis
ters from different parts Of the coun-
try are assisting in the meeting, and
good sermons and music are being
enjoyed by the people of Liberal.
Quite few have made confessions
and it is hoped the meetings will re-
suit in much good for both the con-
verts and the general public.

ABOUT CITY MAIL DELIVERY

Congressman Jouett Shouse in
forms this Office that the matter of
city mail delivery will be taken up
again by the postoffice department in
the near future. This was investi-
gated last fall by postoffice inspec-
tor, who reported negatively to the
department on account of insufficient
street crossings, street signs and
house numbers. 1t was not given up
completely at that time but was
merely abandoned until the city had
compiled with the requirements of
the department governing such cases.
The city has recently supplied num-
ber of crossings, street markers are
now being placed at nearly every in
rtersection, and the only thing in the
way is the number of houses that
have not been numbered or on which
the numbers have become destroyed.
This should be attended to at once in
order to obviate another delay in the
matter. Liberal will use at least
two carriers If the town gets free
mail delivery, which will add that
much to the towns monthly payroll
and give it an added prestige among
the other towns besides. The post
office department is now willing to
do its share in the matter and the in
stallation of delivery service rests en-
tirely with the people of Liberal. Will
we make an effort to bring 1t about,
or will we again let 1t become buried
in the archives of the pastoffice de-
partment, where chances for its fu-
ture resurrection are mighty slim?

ARRANGED A REST ROOM

The Feinberg dry goods store has
fixed up a very commodious rest
room for out-of-town visitors during
the Fair. Suit cases and luggage can
be left there and will be taken care
of without charge, and a lady will be
in charge to assist and look after the
comfort of the ladies and children.
This will be a decided convenience
for those who have to come for some
distance to take in the sights and
transact business matters, and the
management of the store should be
commended for it.

SOUTHWEST FAIR NOTES

Don't forget, your town is on exhi-
bition during fair week. Clean up
everything about your premises, and
make the most presentabIe appear
ance possible.
Liberal will probably see the
greatest crowds she has ever known
next week. This will necessitate ex-
treme care to avoid accidents. Let
our motto be Safety First" A few
minutes a day devoted to safety will
be the greatest safeguard again ac-
cidents.
Thursday, September IA, will be
Oklahoma Day. 1t is hoped that
every merchant will decorate his win
dows to show welcome to the Okla
homa visitors. The Rock Island will
carry special car from Dalhart on
No. 4 on this day and 1t will probably
bring number of people who might
not otherwise have attended the fair.
Don't forget the parade Wednes-
day, September 13. From a patriotic
standpoint every merchant and busi-
ness man in Liberal should partici-
pate in this event, as our visitors
will expect to see big parade, and
will expect 1t done in the usual Lib
eral way. You should participate.
The Fair Begins Tuesday and
closed Friday. For the four days
visitors should be shown special at
tention and every courtesy possible.
They should be made to feel that our
town is Liberal in its treatment Of
strangers, as we'll as in name.

THE STRIKE Is OFF

Congress passed the eight-hour
railroad law late Saturday afternoon
and the big strike of trainmen has
been declared off. The new law is
known as the Adamson bill, and goes
into effect December /, which was
exactly what the unions wanted. 1t
was about the fastest law making our
congress has ever INDUCED in, and
the members perhaps figured there
would soon be blood on the moon If
they didn't come through in hurry.
