SERIOUS SHORTAGE
Of GANND GOODS
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES so
SCARCE THAT GAMERS CAN
NOT GET THEM.
MARSHALL COUNTY FORTUNATE
IN HAVING GOOD CORN PACK
Eastern, and Western Markets Barren
of PIums, Cherries and Other Fruits
Prices Bound to Rise, as Gamers
Fail to Fill Orders-LoeaI Canned
Corn Situation Good.

Housewives who contemplate uSnS
considerable canned fruit this winter
will find thems elves facing the great
est shortage in this variety of eatablcs
in more than ten years. according to
Information recently received here
from both eastern and western supply
houses and canneries. A scarcity OF
all kinds of berries. plums. pears,
cherries and many vegetables which
are usually canned, has made the
wholesale grocerS anxious as to the
fulilment of their orders, and the
Gamers are even more worried.
Heavy rains in the spring, followed
by the extreme hot weather, mas in a
great many localities partially de-
stroyed the crop. Manager W. T.
Smith, of the Let's Fletche' Company,
was in the east last week, where he
interviewed eight or ten different can
ners None OF them mad packed a full
crop of anything.

the biggest items in the business Of
the Western Grocer Company, of this
city. Marshall county has been par
ticuIarly fortunate. An excellent crop
is reported. But even as close as Wa
terloo and Des Moines canneries re-
port great shortage. In fruits. how
ever, the situation is said to be serious
There are absolutely no plums what
ever. Eastern markets have none, and
for the first time in years the Pacific
coast is barren of this brand of ,ruit.
Strawberries. black raspberries, red
cherries. and even the ordinary string
bean. are all SO short that a Gamer in
the east told the local manager last
week that he would be able to deliver
only about per cent Of what he had
already sold.
Sauer kraut Going Up.
In Chicago the representatives of
the Western Grocer Company were
told by the largest canned goods
brokers and handlers that even the
crop of cabbages in the north was
short. and sauer kraut would be worth
from 81 to 1925 a dozen cans, whole
sale. Canned corn in other vicinities
than this will be way up, and peas are
practically unobtainable A big buyer
who had been all thru Wisconsin is
authority for the statement that not
more than a car or two OF peas can
be purchased in the entire state. In
Michigan the Gamers tell the same
story-short pack short deliveries. big

Secure Next
Convention of
Road Builders

Jacksonville, Nov. 16.-Jackson-
Vile stands a good chance of secur-
ing the 1917 convention of the Amer
ican Road Builders Association, ac-
cording to Joseph R. Draney, sales
manager of the International Oil
Company and the United States AS
phalt Refining Company, of New
York. who was a visitor to the city
Tuesday. The convention was held in
Pittsburg last year and the 1916
meeting is to take place in Boston in
December. Hence Mr.. Draney thinks
that it could easily be brought south
for 1917
The association is composed of
prominent road builders of the coun
try, and the fact that Florida now
has a State highway engineer and is
rapidly forging to the forefront in
work of this kind, is good indica-
tion that influences could be brought
to bear which would result in the
meeting being landed.
IT believe you people could secure
this meeting by getting a number Of
infiuent tial men to work for you" he
said "For instance, there is w NJ,

SENSATION OF BEING SHOT

A commissioned officer in the
British army has written the following
sketch of what he felt when he was
caught in machine gun fire and of the
care bestowed upon him by the army
surgeon who came to his assistance:
II don't know" he says, what most
men feel like when they are wounded.
What | felt was that | had been hit by
a tremendous iron hammer, and then
twisted with a sickening sort of
wrench so that my head banged on
the ground and my feet struggled as
though they didn't belong to me. For
q second or two my breath wouldn't
come. | thought IL, liz 10 20 death and
hoped it wouldn't take long. BY and
by, as nothing happened, ! thought
couldn't be dying. tried to turn on
my side but the pain stopped me dead.
There was nothing to do but lie still
on my back After a few minutes two
men in my platoon crawled past at
few yards distance. They saw me
and seemed to be laughing, but they
didn't stop. Probably they were
wounded l could have cried at their
being so crel.
TITS being cut off from human be-
ings that's as bad as anything when
ones wounded, and when a lad wrig
gled up to me and asked me what was
up, | loved him. | said, not dying
think, but pretty bad and he wriggled
on. What else could he do? Then
! raised my knees to ease the pain in
my stomach. and at once bullets came
over; so put them down.
at didn't bother me much when the
Germans began shelling the trench
about eighty to 1000 yards behind me
with heavies. One heard them
starting a long way off, and coming
toward one with a glorious rush, like
the swift rustling of enormous and in
credibly powerful pinions Then there
was thump, and | was covered with
earth. After about the thirtieth
thump something hit me in the stom-
ach and took my wind. l thought,
Thank Heaven, it's over this time,
but it was only an extra heavy sod of
earth"

The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1916-09-29

A trainload of Pennsylvania troops
spent yesterday morning in Liberal.
The detachment consisted of cavalry
and infantry and included over 300
men. They had about so horses with
them and hadn't unloaded them since
leaving st. Louis early Monday morn
ing. These boys were on the way to
the border. They were a nice bunch
of fellows and got just as excited dur
ing the FIRE that morning as any of
the citizens.
The Moose report hundred mem
bers. big doings" had been an
nounced for last Thursday night, and
from what the boys report we feel
quite safe in saying that nothing was
misrepresented. Gathering our date
here and there, we find that Dick
Gates and Dutch" Malone performed
acrobatic stunts that put Willard
and Goch out of the limelight. Also,
seven were initiated, and a commit
tee was appointed to investigate the
proposition of Moose Home. A big
class is expected for next Thursday
evening.

east of Inman the car turned over in
to ditch and his neck was broken in
the fall. Mr.. Wallis mills have a
number of customers in Liberal and
the surrounding towns and some of
our business men are perhaps person.
ally acquainted with him, and will re-
greet to hear of his untimely end. AL
though we never met Mr.. Wall per-
sonally, he married cousin of ours
and for that reason his death strikes
a little nearer home than 1t would
otherwise.

War News.


German troops attacked the French
positions on the farm Of Liable Wood,
north of the river Somme, but were
repulsed by artillery and machine gun
fire, says an official statement issued
by the French war department. "In
aerial encounters twenty-six German
machines were forced to descend"
the statement adds, many of them
being destroyed.

British troops recently attacked
strong Bulgarian forces north of Ko-
priva, in Greek Macedonia, says an
official French statement. Serbians
made progress northwest of Kaimak-
calan and took some prisoners. North
west Of Florina, the French forces ad-
vanced and repulsed strong Bulgar-
ian attack on Hill 1850.

On the Somme front in France, the
French and British forces again have
taken the offensive and been reward
ed with additional gains. General
Haig's men made progress toward

diers, who apparently have begun an
other effort to eject the Germans
from Coinbles and its salient In the
entente line north Of the Somme, also
met with success.
