Mrs. v. H. Grinstead, worthy
matron Of the local Eastern Star
lodge, left Wednesday for Wichita
to attend the annual meeting of the
grand chapter Of that order.
L. H. Davenport has been fined to
his room few days by sickness.
Davenport blames this on the recent
trip he and other members of the
Griffith & Baughman real estate Of
flee took to Two Buttes, Colorado.
John Schmitt has purchased half
section of land IA miles northwest
of town, from j. w. Baughman,
which he proceeded to fence and use
for pasture. Mr. Schmitt also pur-
chased the quarter adjoining this
farm from T. H. Taylor.
Bert Allen has just finished plow-
ing a field of 100 acres on a quarter
adjoining town on the southwest,
and expects to pillow ESQ acres more
about a mile west of Liberal. Mr..
Allen expects to SOW all this to
wheat.
The time for the annual booster
trip is near at hand. 1t came up so
suddenly last year that no one had
time to prepare for it, consequently
a number had to make the trip with
out any advertising propaganda to
take along. Better talk this mat
ter over few weeks before hand
this year and do the job right when
the time comes.
Lindsey Wright left Saturday night
for Montrose, Colorado, where he
will hunt up his brother out there,
whom he hasn't seen for a number
of years, and perhaps invest in land.
The local K. of P. lodge gave fare
well reception to him last week as
token of the esteem in which he was
held by the members of that order,
and over which he has served as
chancellor commander for number
of terms.-Lindsey is fine fellow
and we hope his stay in the west
proves pleasant and profitable.
The Democrat has this week placed
an order with Kansas City foundry
for a 30-inch Chandler & Price paper
cutter. Our old one has proven too
small and we will soon have one
that can chop anything we need with
out such a terrible strain on muscles
and religion. Our principal capital
stock when we came here year and
half ago was an unlimited gall, and
our supply hasn't diminished much
since that time, but we've almost
made print shop out of this dump
with the same.
Joe Bryson, owner of the famous
gold-bearing ducks on the Beaver,
recently conducted fishing party to
his ranch down there. 1t is suspect
ed that the fishing party was only a
stall on Joe's part, and that the real
object of the trip was to sell the 9TH
er boys some stock in his duck farm.
Those from Plains were ]. H. Col
lingwood, Don T. Edwards, DR.. Nick
olson and John Roberts. There were
also several from Liberal in the
party but whether any Of them
bought gold duck stock, deponent
knoweth not.

of it, and promise you will not be
lacking in happy, congenial compan-
ions. And what is better in life than
good friends with whom to talk and
cOnfide?
There is so much to be gained
from smiling that it seems foolish
for anyone not to practice it. have
learned in my own life that my smiles
have been an immense benefit and
l am glad l can really and truly smile.
Since one gains in health, beauty,
business and friendship through the
taking of smile medicine, why stint
the dose?
1t is my advice, girls, to take it in
large quantities. It cannot hurt you
and will do you a world of good if
you are sincere.
Smile, smile and then smile some
more.

Stripes are growing bolder-posi-
lively brazen. Even my well-weath-
cred fashion eye popped wide open
when it well upon this stunning Gre
alton in dark blue and white taffeta.
But we may as well get accus-
toned to it, as this model I have
sketched here is only one of many of
the same kind the Fashion Art
League of America mOdistes are
making for midsummer wear.

It should be whOlesouIed and vital.
1t is the sort of a smile that says to
another person, 4 know you are my
real friend and l can trust you in my
confidence. l don't have to hedge,
to watch my words when you are
with me"
Every smile has two meanings.
One is for the person receiving the
smile, one for the person doing the
smiling. AS a rule the real intent Of
the smile is shown on the face, but
at times its real meaning is a bit
battling. There is no guess work
about the friendship smile. It is so
spontaneous and so lacking in affeC-
tatiOn that one can tag it at sight
That is why, l think, it is such an
interesting, important smile, such a
delightful means of communication
between two Congenial persons.
The girl with the winning smile
need never fear being a wall flower;
of lacking invitations to parties and
all the amUsements that appeal to
happy people. In fact, her ability to
smile will take her far in her con-
quest of life; will help her over many
rough places and aid her in OverCom-
ing many seemingly insuTmOuntable
obstacles.
If you want to go through life with
the reputation of being a crouch,
don't smile. But if you enjoy friends
and want them to choose you and
associate with you, cultivate that
beamy, expansive smile, that is near
Iy a grin, from the very joyOUsness

Although the stripes are almost
