WARREN WINS THE BET

Warren Farmer is either the lucki-
est fellow on earth OF else he has
lived in the Southwest long enough
to learn few things about weather
conditions. About February he
made bet Of $25 with John Baugn-
man that not a quarter-inch of mois-
ture would fall in Seward county dur
ing the months of February and
March. Upon being called" on the
bet he promptly offered to bet Lee
Larrabee that at least quarter-inch
of moistnreswould fall between April
4 and April s.. The bets were duly
placed and Warren wins them both,
as practically no moisture fell dur
ing February and March, but good
soaker arrived on April 4. Warren
has stood lots of good natured JOSH
ing over the two wagers and many
prophecies from his friends that he
would lose on both deals, but "by
thunder and lightnin'" he got away
with it and is now fifty cartwheels to
the good.

BUYS sHoRTHoRN CATTLE

G. P. Lee, one of the good farm
ers living on route c, sold 21 head
of Shorthorn cattle last Monday to
g. e. Scott. The price paid was
$76.50 per head. The herd consists
of cows and heifers, and will prove a
good investment for Mr.. Scott later
on. Mr.. Scott, like so many of our
other farmers, is finding out that the
best way to dispose of a grain crop
is to drive or haul 1t into town on
the hoof,. which is mighty good
idea in country like this, whore
kafr is the main crop and the silo
adorns nearly every farm.

ANOTHER PAPER RAILROAD

You hace to go away from home
to get the news. The following ar
ticle appeared in Mondays issue of
the Hutchinson News:
Liberal is determined to have a
railway connecting with the rich
country southeast of there, in Beaver
county.
"A company has been organized at
Liberal, almost wholly of local capi-
tai, with 100000 capital stock
pledged, to build railroad from Lib
eral to Beaver. county seat of Bea-
yer county, a distance Of forty miles.
''The application has been filed for
charter, and 1t is the intention to
get work started on the road, which
will be known as the Oklahoma, Kan
sas & Northern railway.
"The incorporators are w. p. By
ers, ]. r. Bolin, J. e. George, C. q.
Woods, r. Hall, D. D. Land and q. ].
Thayer. All are men prominent as
business men, grain and broom corn
men and land owners of Liberal and
vicinity. w. P. Byers 10 the son of
o. p. Byers. of Hutchinson. and lives
at Dombey, Oklahoma, the others at
Liberal.
when the Wichita Falls railway
was built up into this section 1t was
thought 1t would build on to Liberal,
but 1t stopped at Forgan. Beaver
City people raised money and built
their own line over to Forgan to
reach the road, but stretch of forty
miles Of rich country between Bea-
yer and Liberal was left without
railroad Now Liberal people pro-
pose to build that line, and fill in the
gap"

CHANGE IN CLOTHING STORE

A deal was made the first of the
week whereby Clyde Atha assumes
charge Of the Atha Brothers clothing
store, Arlie Atha retiring from the
business. He will stock up and i'm
prove his farm near Optima and will
lead the simple life henceforth. The
Atha boys have been in the clothing
business in Liberal nearly four years
and are couple of fine fellows to
know and deal with. Arlie's friends
will regret to note his retirement
but hope he makes 60 OF 1t on the
farm. Clyde, who retains the business,
is figuring on making some improve
ments in the interior of the store and
adding to the present stock of mer-
chandise. He is a good business man
and the Democrat hopes his financial
affairs will flourish nightly in the
coming years.

DEATHS OF LITTLE CHILDREN.

Leigh Hunt.-There are sorrows, it
is true, so great that to give them
some of the ordinary vents is to run a
hazard Of being overthrown. These
we must rather strengthen ourselves
to resist, oh how quietly and dryly
down, in order to let them pass over
us, as the traveller does the wind of
the desert. But where we feel that
tears would relieve us, it is false phil
osophy to deny ourselves at least that
first refreshment; and it is always
false consolation to tell people that
because they cannot help thing,
they are not to mind it. The true
way is to let them grapple with the
unavoidable sorrow and try to win it
into gentleness by a reasonable yield
ing.

THE KLAR-PIQUET NINE ABAN.
DONED.

At meeting of the directors Of the
Klar-Piquett mining company Thurs
day last it was decided to pull the
pumps, close down the property and
abandon all work there. The officers
give out the statement that the low
price of ore and low grade of con-
centrate from this property will not
further warrant continuance of the
work.
The KIar-Piquett was organized in
1903, and capitalized at $20,00O.00.
This property has paid to it's stock
holders approximately 100000 in
dividends, and has paid out for labor
since it's organization in the neigh
borhood of half a million dollars. By
the closing down of this mine some
thirty men are thrown out of en-
ployment there, who will be speedily
engaged at other properties.
Orville Barrett of Condo, S. D., has
been here the past week and bought
carload of Holsteins and registered
Guernsey cattle. He returns Friday.
Mr.. Barrett tells us they have had
good crops in their locality Wheat
was somewhat blighted by the very
warm weather in July, and what
promised to be a bumper crop gave
an average of about 1 5 bushels to the
acre. All other crops were very good.
He says he would like to return here
to live, but prefers Dakota for farm

VeIma Pritchett Garthwaite.

Velma Pritchett Garthwaite, daugh-
ter of Mrs. L. A. Spencer, died at the
home of her mother in this city on
Tuesday, September II, 1916, aged %
years, months and days. Death re-
suited after an acute illness of three
days.
Never of strong physique, frequent
illness had exhausted Velma's reserve
vitality and nature was unable to meet
the crisis with the necessary strength
and also precluded the possibility of
hope for response to heroic meas
ures which might have aided her in
her desire to live.
She was born at Beetown March 8,
1894, where she resided until some
years ago, when she with her parents
moved to Lancaster, which has been
her home since. On October 27, 1909
she was married to Roy Garthwaitey
of this CITY,
Beside a 2-year-Old daughter, Ber-
niece, and her mother, she leaves two
brothers and three sisters inflow, of
Beetown, Wis; Clarence, of Grass
Range, Montana; Mrs. Blanche Blume,
of Clayton, Iowa; Mrs. Fannie Welch,
and Mrs. Nellie Smith Of this city.
On Friday Rev. w. A. Weyhrauch
conducted funeral services at the
Methodist church, of which deceased
was member
Interment was made at Beetown
cemetery in the family plot where rest
the ashes Of her father and sister
who preceded her into the Valley of
