AS SOLOMON
IN "WAR BAB-1" : UI~
viii Decide Whether Mrs. Matters,
Widow Of Millionaire, or Cana
dian Girl Is Mother.

CHICAGO, May 23.-Federa1 Court
Judge X. NJ. Lands has accepted the
task that made Solomon famous. He
issued a writ of habeas corpus direct
ing Mrs. DolGe Ledgerwood Matters,
accused of having foisted another 8
war baby on the courts as ner own
in contest over the estate of her mil
Honaire husband, to produce the baby
in court next Friday so that he can
decide who is the child s mother.
The decision rests between Mrs
Matters and Margaret Ryan, a Cana
dian backwoods girl, who says the ba-
by was born to her in the Misericordia
hospital, Ottawa, Canada, taken from
her Immediately and brought to the
United States by Mrs. Matters. She
wants her baby back, and is Invoking
an international immigration agree
ment between the United States and
Canada which prohibits the emigration
of child without the consent of its
parents.
Miss Ryan says that she was engag-
ed to marry young shoemaker, who
enlisted in the army and is now fight
ing in the trencnes abroad. Some
months after his departure her parents
took her to Ottawa, where she entered
the MlSeFtcofula hoSpltaI. Mrs. Mat
ters was a frequent visitor to the free
ward where the girl was being cared
for. On July 24 last Margaret's baby
arrived. That day she was told the
child was dead.
The girl was thereupon removed to
a private room Where She had the best
the hospital could furnish. Margaret
said that she did not pay fer them;
the only cost to her was the $25 her
n2otheE had paid when she entered
the hospital. She believes now that
Mrs. Matters ordered these luxuries
in payment for the child
Four months after Margaret left the
hospital girl friend told her that
Mrs. Matters was contest;ng the will
Of her husband and that baby born

tai figured in tle suit
Il ran back to the hospital, said
Margaret, and looked for the sisters
who cared for me- They had all gone;
nobody would tell me the truth about
my baby. ! am sure this baby is
mine.

and came back alive, strange to say.
Ray has annexed Ford runabout
"for campaign purposes only" he
claims, and will now proceed to beat
up the brush in search of voters. He
has already learned the difference be-
tween the gas tank and the radiator,
and hopes in a few weeks to be able
to locate the carburetor by his own
efforts. AS yet he doesn't feel ia
miliar enough with the "critter" to
challenge Barney Oldfield for race.
but hopes to enter the speedway con-
test at the Southwest Fair next fall.

at the same time and all will get to-

and travel for awhile together. Rob-

bee to tame.
Mrs. A. F. German will act as Of
fetal correspondent on this trip, so
that the home folks will hear the
war news. A. F. German will be
chief in charge of the camping equip
ment, and expected to cut the wood
and build the fires.
Mrs. Baughman expects to regain
her failing health and increase her
weight, and last, but not the most
energetic, John W., will spend a
large portion Of his time lying on his
back, not gazing at the stars, but
peering into the complicated interior
of the National, and wondering what
the - ails 1t. The car will have
its face washed before the start, and
barring an accident or rain, 1t will
get no more baths during the ensu-
ing four weeks.

July 18th, Mr.. and Mrs. John w.

man, all Of Liberal, leave on a four
weeks vacation trip to Yellowstone
National Park in the Northwestern
part of Wyoming, going via Denver,
Cheyenne and Cody, returning via
Salt Lake City and Colorado Springs.
They will have full equipment of
camping out traps, with tents and
cots, and live out doors practically
all the time; should they have too
much for the National 12 to carry
on its back they will add trailer
for a baggage wagon.
Yellowstone National Park is
about 1000 miles directly northwest
of Liberal, with good roads practi-
cally all the way. the trip could be
made in four to five days, but the
party expects to make side trips,
take it easy, and spend about two
weeks each way. They plan to see
the Frontier Days Celebration at
Cheyenne, Wyoming, going out, and
on the return trip attend the three
days racing to be up Pixies Peak.

the largest yet as 1t is intended to
make 1t pep" meeting for the

the street before the meeting and
also give a short concert in the hall.
There are good many matters to be
taken up at this meeting, one of the
most important being the final action
on the car-parking ordinance. The
farmer members have been notified
by letter and good number will
probably be in to pass their opinion
on the ordinance. The chautauqua
committee will be named, Booster
trip discussed and rousing meeting
is assured.

pate in this trip and help boost For
the Chautauqua, the Southwest Fair
and the town of Liberal in general.

will do their best to find you a way
to go. The cost of the trip will he
$500 in addition to your meals, etc.,
ON the road.
The committee has banners for
fifty cars and number for each car.
All cars will be numbered before the
start and will be expected to keep
their position in the line during the
entire trip.
1t is planned to leave Liberal at
8 O'Clock on Tuesday morning and
make Tyrone, Hooker, Miller's Store,
and Gray, Oklahoma, that day,
spending the night at Ochiltree. The
following day the Boosters will make
Balko, LaKemp, Beaver, Floris, Lo-
rena and get into Liberal the even
ing of the second day.
The following owners have agreed
to furnish cars and make the trip.
Practically all of these will carry

list. The committee has been unable
to see some of those who are expect
ed to go, SO this list is not complete.
tits possible that some Of these cars
will be prevented from going but
there will be others go that are not
listed, and the committee expects to
have thirty or forty cars make the
trip.
All Boosters should get their cars
filled with gasoline, oil and water the
day before the trip starts so that a
good early start can be made.

PREPARING TO ENTERTAIN THE
BOOSTERS

Harvey w. Hill, editor of the Beav-
er County Republican at Gray, Okla
homa, can always be depended upon
to do the right thing. He is having
extensive preparations made in his
little city to entertain the Liberal
Boosters next week. The following
announcement appeared in last
weeks issue Of the Republican,:
Tuesday, July 18th, is to be the
big day at Gray for on that occasion
the Liberal boosters will be here.
There will be from 40 to SO cars con-
tanning from 200 to $50 people, and
they are coming prepared to show
our people time that they will nev-
er forget. They will have their band,
special violinist, many other special
features, and Lee Larrabee will bring
his bear. In fact the day will be just
like Christmas for they will have
present for all that attend this gath
ering. In this connection we wish to
impress upon our citizens the fact
that while the Liberal people are
coming prepared to entertain us we
must make 1t convenient in every
way for them to do so. For this rea-
son 1t will be necessary for our farm
ers and home people to hitch their
teams and place their autos back of
the business houses and on the va
cant lots surrounding the church
building and school house, as the
main street and the street running
north and south through the center
of town will be needed for the people
and for Liberal visitors to place their
cars and to pull off their various
stunts. 1t is hoped everybody will
remember this and do their part in
helping make it pleasant and con-
venient for our visitors"

PLENTY OF HELP NOW

a great sufacieney Of help coming
from the neighboring districts. Many
of the neighboring counties have fin
ished harvesting and now the town
is crowded with men desirous of
finding employment with threshing
crews. The secretary has been busy
trying to place the men but there
seems to be greater supply of men
than jobs.
