Liberals Population Record

In recent compilation of popula-
tion statistics, J. G. Moh!er, secretary
Of the state agricultural department,
gave the name of every town in Kan
sas with population of 1,000or more.
Liberal ranks fifty-six in a list of l32
towns, and the population is given at
2314 The figures of the 1905 and 1915
censuses are given. In 1905 Liberal
had population of $50, which will
figure an increase of nearly 440 per
cent for the ten years. or A per cent.
increase annually. Figured on per-
centage basis Liberal made about the
best showing of any town in the state
during the last ten years. Another
evidence that Liberal is the best town
in the world. However, the popula-
tion of this hamlet will be batting
right along the 10000 mark in 1925.
Watch what we tell you.

Diversity of FarmEnterprises

In most cases where studies on the
profits in farming have been made,
particularly in the oldest agricultural
districts, such studies indicate that
the most successful farms are those
which have from two to four major
sources of income; /. e., they have a
wellbalanced and diversified business.
In certain instances it may pay better
to have only one enterprise, but u.s.
ually-when one crop pays much better
than all others the production of it
increases rapidly and soon the price
falls to the point where other crops
or products are equally as profitable.
Diversified farming is often confused
with farming where there is a lii tie
of everything and not much of any
thing. Either extreme lessons the
chances of success. When the price
Of certain crops is very low then live
stock usually becomes desirable.
However, il the returns per animal
are poor, cash crops even at low
price are essential. A well-balanced
business insures against losses and
provides a much better utilization Of
the labor equipment.

Plains Bond Issue Carried

The bond issue for light and water
works held last week at Plains result
ed in a vote of 140 for and none
against. That's the proper spirit to
SHOW when it comes TO the expendi-
ture of money for civic Improvement
and is guarantee of the towns fu-
ture growth and welfare. When a
bond issue can carry any town with
out a dissenting vote, the millennium
is peeping around the corner Much
credit is due to Editor Calvert of the
journal for his eternal hammering
away at necessary Improvements for
his town, and that the little burg is
full of the right kind Of business men
goes without saying.

John Leach, an emplnye of the
Stewart and Larkin threshing ma
chine in Beaver county, met with an
accident on Tuesday of last week that
resulted in death a week later. He

the wagon tipped over and pinned
him underneath, resulting in inter
nal injuries from which he never re-
covered. The accident occurred
about six miles east of LOrena. The
deceased was about 2S years old and
leaves a wife and one child to mourn
his untimely end. He was buried in
the Independence cemetery south OF

Recognizing a
Kansas Democrat

Henry Allen, in the Wichita Bea-
con, December %: Some comment
has been created in Washington by
the unusually fine committee assign
ments which have gone to Congress-
man Jouett ShOuse of the Seventh
Kansas District. One of the places
on the important committee on bank
ing and currency was awarded Mr..
Shouse in addition TO several other
Important assignments.
No one who really knows Congress-
man Shouse will regret these distinct
ions. When Congressman Shouse
first came to Kansas few years ago
from Kentucky and broke into the
state politics through election 10 the
State Senate there was a disposition
to take him lightly. He is a band
some surt of a thoroughbred Ken
tuckian who seems to be out for a
good time. The more the people of
Kansas came TO know OF Congress
man Shouse the more they were
forced to realize that he not only has
fine abilities, but a serious desire 10
use these abilities in honest public
service. If the Seventh Kansas Dis
trict observes its congressman care
fully they will soon discover that he
is giving them earnest, modest, able
service for the sake OF the service and
that he has no apparent knowledge
as to where the grandstand is located.

Some Past!History
of o. T. Wood

Last Sundays Topeka Capital gave
the following extended Writeup OF y.
r. Wood, former sheriff of this coun-
ty and now U. s. marshal for the
state of Kansas. Not being familiar
with the history OF tie county during
those stirring times, We give the
writ cup as it appeared in the Capital
and you who are familiar With the
events mentioned can make The de-
sired corrections for yourselves
Here is the article:
When "Jack" Harrison, United
States marshal for tile district OF
Kansas, resigned his position early in
the summer of 1914 the state through
some hitch at Washington was with
out marshal for one day. Then
heavyset, rugged featured mana
typical westerneT-came into the
United States marshal's office, re-
moved his broad brimmed hat and
calmly began his duties as marshal.

L beral and was twice sheriff of Sc
ward county. He's lived there most
of his life, is prominent in Demo
cratic politics and close friend OF
Senator Thompson"
The westerner had little to say, but
plenty to do. AS soon as he tooRts
change of his Office he appointed Q.
G. Jackson, of Emporia, as his chief
deputy and, as far as was possible for
public official, disappeared from
public notice.
Some persons whose business took
them into Woods Office at first mis-
took his retlcence and were slow in
becoming acquainted with him.
Eventually they came to know him
and as the acquaintance grew Woods
personality impressed them.
Wood has lived in Seward county
since he was a boy. His intimate
friends say that his only worry in life
is that he may die before he has ac-
quired enough land to bequeath each
of his children a quarter section, be-
sides few sections for Mrs. Wood.
Just now his ranch in Seward county
contains only l,500 acres of land, but
he gives more of his attention to cat
tie raising than farming.
Because of his reticence, Topeka
knows comparatively little about the
United States Marshal. His acquaint-
ances know that he has dry sort of

emotional temperament and brevity
of speech. Occasionally the wit be-
comes satire, Not long ago TWO gQy-
