DECORATION DAY AND
DEDICATION OF >yONUMHNT

Perhaps not in years has there
been such extensive exercises planned
for Decoration Day as this year for
Liberal. Besides the regular WORK
which is to be more extended, there
will be the dedicatory service rela-
tive to the erection, VI the monu-
ment which the G. A. r., with the as
sistance of the citizens, has recently
placed at G. A. r. circle In tne
cemetery. The Rev. C. d. Hestwood'
pastor of the First M. e. Church.
will deliver the dedicatory sermon
Immediately after the company OF
little girls have completed the work
of strewing flowers on the graves OF
the Blue and the Gray.
According to the program furn-
ished by G. A. r. headquarters OF
the city, all old soldiers, sons OF vet
erans and the citizenry will meet at,
the Christian church at 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning and proceed to the
cemetery. 1t is expected that every
one will bring all the flowers possi-

pected to be at the Christian church,
where the Rev. H. F. Bolton will de-

The monument which the G. A. r.

is statute of a soldier at Parade
Rest" There are about 33 old SOL
dier's at rest In the Liberal ceme-
terry, but only a little over dozen
are in the G. A. r. circle. Workmen
have been cleaning the weeds and
trash which had gathered at the
cemetery, and by Decoration Day the
premises will have a bright appear
ance. \rH IA
Mrs. w. H. Vickers has been busy
lately training a bevy of little girls
to strew the flowers at the appointed
time.
1t is expected that all who have
cars will show the spirit Of the day
and see that as many as possible, par
ticularly the older ones, who wish to
go, have an opportunity to attend the
services at the cemetery.
The Rev. D. G. ,MacLennan, pastor
of the Presbyterian church. will de-
liver the Memorial sermon, in that
church, at II a. m, Sunday, May %.
Don't fail to hear this sermon. The
Rev. MacLennan has a message for
you.
The committee in charge is work

ones duty to help by being present
to enter in the spirit Of the occasion.

NOW YOU HAVE TO CALL HIM
FATHER

A baby boy of the usual size,
weight and lung power arrived Tues
day night to brighten and bless the
Democrat household. The "old man"
is proud as a peacock over the new
arrival and you can't touch him with
a ten-foot pole. Judging from the
noise the youngster has made since
landing he will enter either the min
istry or politics when he gets little
older. Mother and child are getting
along in good shape and the father
hopes to recover his sanity in a
month or two. Some of the neigh
bors who have called to make the Of
fetal inspection say the young fellow
is pretty, and some claim he looks
just like his dad. Being absolutely
"nootral" in the case we agree with
both opinions.

ARRANGEMENTS BEING MADE
FOR SOUTHWESTERN FAIR

The indications are that the South
west Fair this year will be better and
bigger than ever. The officers of the
association are beginning early to
make plans for a good display and
lots of entertainment.
The department heads are COM
pleting all preliminaries and the cat
alogue will soon be ready for the
press.
The Agricultural Department will
give special prizes this year to stimu-
late interest and exhibits. The fol-
lowing gives details of this contest:

ing exercises. The usual custom of
having present on this occasion only
the members of the association, the
seniors and faculty, was adhered to.
The banquet was very excellently
served in the large banquet room in
the basement of the Christian church
by the Ladies' Aid of that church.
The room was tastefully decorated
with the class colors. The long
tables were we'll supplied with large
vases of cape jasmine and many 9TH
er flowers placed around the room
made the scene very beautiful.
The first course was served at elev-
en-twenty o'clock and shortly after
the toasts began. The crowd was gay
and free from then on. Paul Stoufer
acted as toast master and started the
ball rolling by making short talk
of welcome to the new members and
other guests. Miss Florence WINNER
responded very prettily and with
much cleverness. Miss Laura Wood
was then introduced and paid trib-
ute to the faculty in way that was
truly sincere, but at the same time
kept the diners in an uproar of
laughter. Prof. Rindom responded

YOU'D BETTER HURRY

The time for filing for county Of
fees is drawing to close and
those who are patriotically inclined
should proceed to get busy. June 20
Is the last day on which filing can be
made, after which the books will be
closed and the primary tickets pre-
pared. There are still several Of
fees on the Democratic ticket for
which no candidate has filed, and we
hope the members of the party will
get together and select good material
for the same.

AUTO ACCIDENT

"a very serious auto accident was
barely averted Sunday evening when
car containing Misses June and
Stella Cox, Miss Leo Reynolds and
Miss Faye Adams, ran over mound
in the road caused by a sewer pipe.
The girls were on Kansas avenue
near the high school when the ac-
cident occurred; they didn't see the
mound until too close to either stop
or turn out of the way, SO they did
the only thing, to do--went straight
ahead. Had they turned the wheels
slightly in all probability the car
would have turned over and made

to this in the quiet, dry, manner
characteristic Of him only and before
he had finished little of the laugh
had been turned the other way.
At the close of the banquet Henry
Tucker, acting as temporary chair
man, called a business meeting and
officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows: President, Will
Black; vice president, Lee Wood; !;
secretary, Miss Hazel Jordan; treas
urer, Miss Florence WINNER.

Sunday night the baccalaureate
address was delivered by Rev. Mac
Lehman in the Methodist church, ad-
mission being granted by ticket on
account of the limited seating ca
rpacity and the numerous friends in
terested. The address was an excel

pleased everyone. The program that

1T was very happy gathering, en-
joyed alike by the big crowd and the
graduates.
Thursday night the juniors ban
quoted the seniors at the Christian
church, the menu being provided by
the girls of the Domestic Science

The invocation was pronounced by
Rev. Bolton after which was the
high school chorus, "Come where the

solo was the address to the class by
Prof. McMurray of Lawrence, whose
subject was "The Bulwark Of the
Nation" 1t was a splendid address
well delivered and will make last
ing impression on the class and all
who enjoyed it. Then followed the
class chorus and the presentation of
diplomas by w. H. Feather.

First prize ...............$20.00
Second prize ............ 1000

Exhibits are to be judged from
standpoint of neatness, originality,
work involved, and resemblance in

This contest is open to all and

Last year o. d. Nichol from near
Lorena exhibited life sized beaver

This attracted lot of attention, and
the managers of the fair hope to see
a number of entries for these prizes.

A PSALM OF THE UNION

5 A PSALM OF THE UNION
God of the Free upon thy breath
Our flag is for the Right unrolled;
Still broad and brave as when its stars
First crowned the hallowed time of old;
For Honor still its folds shall fly,
For Duty still their glories burn,
Where Truth, Religion, Freedom guard
The patriots sword and martyrs urn
Then shout beside thine oak, o North!
o South wave answer with thy palm
! And in our Unions heritage
Together lift the Nations psalm!
God of the Free! our Nation bless
In its strong manhood as it's BIRTH
And make it's life Star of Hope
For all the struggling of the Earth;
Thou gav'st the glorious Past to US;
Oh! let our Present burn as bright,
And Ger the mighty Future cast
Truths, Honor's, Freedoms holy light!
Then shout beside thine oak, O. North
o South wave answer with thy palm;
And in our Unions heritage
