Keystone Hotel has engaged the Ma

you can eat your MONDAY meal at
the Keystone or your ice cream at

sweet strains of pleasant music.
Both institutions give up-to-the-min-

REFUSED THE PETITIONS

Several petitions from the citizens
Of Fargo township were presented to
the county commissioners at their
regular session this week, asking for
a division Of said township. The
township is too large for one asses
sor to cover in the time allotted for
such work, and it is claimed that a
number Of taxpayers were missed en-
tirely during the last year or two.
The intention was to cut the town
ship in two east and west, naming
the north half Kismet township and
leaving the south half under the
present name Of Fargo. After due
consideration by the county commits
sioners the petitions were turned
down on the grounds that the popu-
lation of the entire township at this
time is not sufficient to justify max
ing two out the same.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
WOOD PILE Is THRIVING

Up to the present time about thirty
husky workers have applied at the
Chamber Of Commerce office for q
job on the wood pile. These men
have all seemed glad of an opportuni-
ty to earn their meals and lodging
rather than to beg them from the
citizens. The pile is steadily grow
ing and the prospects are that there
will be no kindling famine this COM
ing winter as there has been in the
past.
The people of the town have been
cooperating with the Chamber Of
Commerce by calling them up when
ever they send a man to them, and
In almost every instance the man
has shown up soon afterward. A
good many Of the men have been
given odd jobs elsewhere when they
applied at the Office and the secretary
asks that IL you have any small Jobs
Of any kind to notify the office and
they will have a man for you in q
very few moments.

THE ROOSTER TRIP

; The business men of Liberal who
expect to make the trip with the Lib
eral Boosters next month should
make sure that they have plenty of
advertising to take along on the
trip. Last years trip was gotten
up hurriedly and without sufficient
time in which to make the proper
preparations, and this mistake
should not be repeated. Plenty of
time is being taken for the trip this
year and there should be no excuse
for anyone's failure to provide him
self with ample advertising matter
to scatter along the route. The
Democrat is we'll equipped to turn
out this kind OF work on short notice
and would be pleased to make esti-
mates on the price of the same. We
can handle two-color jobs IL such are
desired and will guarantee salts
factory job every shot. The trip will
be made between July 10 and "a,
and 1t isn'a bit too early to begin
figuring on the advertising stunts.

A GLORIOUS RAIN

Nearly two and fourth inches OF
rain fell Sunday night. 1t started

noon and kept It up practically all
night, with the result that the
ground is now thoroughly soaked
and crops are looking up in great
style. Wheat was suffering quite
badly from lack of moisture and in
many places had started heading
while the stalk was very short. Some
of it will not benefit by the rain but
that which was planted later will
come on and still make good crop.
The row crops we're not suffering to
any great extent as yet, but the good
rain will help 1t wonderfully. 1t has
put the ground in good shape for
summer plowing and we presume the
farmers will get busy as soon as the
wheat and other grain crops are out
of the way. 1t was one Of the old
fashioned rains that fell steadily
without much wind, and extended
over large scope of country. No
hail is reported around here during
the rain, which is fortunate, as other
sections of the state have been re-
porting considerable hail during the
last few weeks.

FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS


The Democrat is authorized to an
nounce the candidacy of ]. F. Fuest
for denomination to the Office Of
county commissioner from the Sec
ond district. Mr.. Fuest has been
county commissioner for long
time, in fact when his present term
expires he will have filled the ONCE
for twenty-four consecutive years,
during all of which, with the excep-
tion of his first term, he has acted
as chairman Of that body. That his
services have been eminently salts
factory is undoubtedly a/fact, or the
people Of this district would not have
kept him there so long. The only
thing we know against him is that he
Is Republican. Aside from
that he is a good Dutchman and has
good record. Mr.. Fuest will un-
doubtedly have no opposition in his
party during the coming primary,
and as yet we have heard of no one
to oppose him in the general election.
We recommend his candidacy to the
careful consideration of the Republi-
can voters Of the Second district.

ORGANIZED FIRE DEPARTMENT

OhGANlLED tlhE DEfAhIMENT
A volunteer fire department. was
organized Monday night to go with
the new fire truck recently purchased
by the city. The following officers
and members compose the organiza-
tion: Ed. Kindschi, chief; Sam Hub
bard, assistant chief; ]. A. Marrow,
truck driver; Billy Orr, captain; Tom
Horn, secretary-treasurer. The board
of trustees will be: A. L. Jones, l..
l.. Holland and Bert Whims. The
other members are: Ralph Bangs,
Joe Stickler, Lawrence WINNER, j.
+. Hirn, e. A. Howell and Harry
Malone. They will be divided up in
to the following crews: Hydrant
crew: Hubbard, Holland, Bangs and
whims. Nozzle crew for water hose:
Howell, Stickler, WINNER and Hirn.
Chemical hose crew: Horn, Malone,
Orr and Jones.
.}The new fire department was con-
firmed by the city council Tuesday
night and it is hoped that the city
will be able to supply the boys with
the proper uniforms and fire fighting
appliances in the near future. They
have made few practice runs dur
ing the past week and intend to con-
tinue the same until they are thor
oughly familiar with the equipment
and methods of fighting large fire
should one break out. Chief Kindshi
requests that when the alarm Is CIV
en- that the citizens get out Of the
way of the firemen and not interfere
with their efforts. They figure on
being so well drilled in the near fu-
ture that they can take care of any
: fire without assistance from the by
ISLANDERS. The Democrat is pleased
to see the boys go after this fire
fiighting game in such-a business like
manner and hopes the people Of Lib
eral will cooperate with them in
every way possible.
