states.
Leaving Beaver we visited Forgan,
another good business town that
bears the mark Of growing prosperi-
ty. At Floris the Boosters we're CIV
en- access to a barrel of ice-cold lem
Onade, which was highly appreciated
by this time. We were homeward
bound, and made but short stop at
Lorena, arriving in Liberal at 7 p. m.
Glad to get back, of course, but re-
turned with the feeling that the trip
had been a success from almost any
and that 1t had resulted
in much good both to the country
over which we travelled, and to the
town Of Liberal. All the men be-
came little boys again, and were out
for the time Of their lives. You may
know a man In town-we are gener-
ally speaking-whom you have al
ways thought to be a crouch, but he
isn't-he's just big-hearted, good
natured boy, anxiously awaiting the
to give vent to his feel
ings, and show you that he loves the
big old world Just as 1t stands. If
you don't believe it, you'd better go
on the trip next year. You'll come
back with a better feeling toward
your family, your neighbor, your
business man, the town in general,
and incidentally, toward yourself.

lows Of the yesterdays; they coil
their great whips over the heads OF
the toiling quadrupeds in the same
ingenious way, the report of which
is still the most authoritative way OF
speaking to those freight animals. A
great many of the towns have to de-
pend upon these freighters for their
supplies, and the hardihood and per-
severance of these men of the inland
towns is worthy Of mention.
Tyrone was the first stop. We re-
there long enough to dis
tribute our advertising matter, for
the band to play, the bear to per-
form and for the clowns to cut their
capers for the amusement of the
children as we'll as the entire popu-
lace. The male quartet was also a
winner, as were all our attractions,
from start to finish. From Tyrone
we headed for Hooker, where we had
an hours rest and time to satisfy our
ravenous appetites. Leaving there
we made short visits at Miller's store,
Trimble's store, and several farm
houses, arriving at Gray in time for
supper. Gray, as well as all the 9TH
er towns, knew of our coming, and

MRS. CLARA J. DUNLAP DEAD

Mrs. Clara J. Dunlap, wife Of A.
H. Dunlap who lives nine miles west
of Liberal, died Tuesday. She was
born March 6, 1868, and died July
1S, 1916, aged 4S years, months
and 12 days. Funeral services were
conducted Wednesday by Rev. Town

Eas .xell prepared to attend to on,

Yas well prepared to attend to ouI
every want. At this place we were
greeted by the largest crowd of any
during our entire trip. Gray is q
thriving little town, doing an en0rm-
GUS volume of business for place OF
its size, and probably gives Liberal
more of her business than any other
of our neighboring towns. They had
a large welcome banner strung across
main street, as on our trip last year,
and Harvey w. Hill, editor of the
Republican, and T. w. Gray, owner
of the Gray townsite, gave addresses
of welcome. We made quite stay
at Gray, giving the usual entertain
ment, and shaking hands with the
many good farmers and business men
of that section. Mr.. Gray pointed
out that the country was badly in
need Of rain, but that they were Of
an optimistic nature and believed
they would be able to continue their
era of prosperity.
We arrived in Ochiltree about sun
set. At this place some difficulty was
experienced in getting accommoda-
tions for the night, but we were
finally all lined up. A dance was
given in the hall, and those who did
not attend the show had chance
to shake their feet a little. We
were pretty we'll worn out, but there
was no sleep for us that eventful
night. 1t seems that Lee Larrabee's
bear hadn't furnished enough amuse-
ment for either him or several others
of his fun-loving companions. 1t all
happened at the hotel, and it was in
the wee-small-hours of the night. OF
course there were damages to pay
but for further information inquire
of Secretary Broadwell or Charles
Taylor. To look at the tar between
their toes gives evidence to the fact
that they have been reading the
"Br'er Rabbit" story in some ancient
school book.
Leaving Ochiltree the next morn
ing at $3.50 we gave the usual exhi-
bitions at Balko, and LaKemp, ar
irving at Beaver for dinner. Since
our trip last year Beaver has rail-
road, as was predicted, and many
improvements are in evidence, as, in
deed, is the case along the entire
route. 1t is prosperous region
that which undulates hundred
miles south of us. Many new resi-
dences are bein constructed, as we'll

ness section of the town. The farm
ers all along the course are making |
improvements with new barns, silos |
and the like, besides adding much
new machinery to their general farm
ing equipment. At Beaver we made
the acquaintance of I. 8. Drummond.

BOOSTER TRIP SUCCESSFUL

BOOSTER TRIP SUCCESSFUL
The Booster trip will long be re-
membered; there were many things
about 1t, in fact, that can never be
forgotten.
We left at $3.50 Tuesday morning
which was a little behind our sched-
ule, but made good time and man
aged to reach the various stations at
the appointed hour. There were 80
cars in all, carrying a burden of hu-
man freight of more than hundred
and twenty joyful souls. The trip
had been carefully planned to the
minor detail, and the cars were we'll
equipped. carrying with them such
repairs as might come handy in case
of an emergency. Quite crowd was
present here at our departure, cheer
ing and sending us forth with a good
will toward all. We were all in the
best Of spirits, and were not far
wrong in our anticipation of the trip.
But all that glitters is not gold.
Not everything of course, was a
pleasure on this trip, although we did
attempt to make a pleasure out of
everything, and kept stiff upper
Zip, even when our pessimistic souls
were aroused to the breaking point.
In the first place, the day was hot,
dry, parched. We were travelling
southwark most of the first day, and
a strong wind came up from that
direction hot wind 1t was, with
blasting currents. The roads were
very dry, and the dust was deep.
Hour after hour we travelled in a
continual dust-cloud. You can easily
imagine the effect of this upon the
soft, velvet-skinned laddies who for
months and months had scarcely
been away from office. Eyes blood
red, lips parched, we were dust-cov-
cred spectres along what then seemed
to be never-ending semi-arid ex-
panse. (But this was that other
nature" speaking.)
Paradoxical as 1t may seem, after
what we have just stated, the region
is one of prosperity. Threshing is
we'll under way, and although the
yield is not near as heavy as that Of
last year, a great many acres were
gown In that form which b. made
the staff OF life, and the good farm
ers viii receive considerable returns
from this source. As the wheat is
now bringing good price, we passed
many loads on their way to the vari-
GUS trading points. Owing to the fact
that the farmers were very busy
there were great many who were
unable to greet US at our various
stops, but from the numbers present
we feel quite safe in saying that all
attended who possibly could, and
along the route the workmen were
never too busy to drop thier various
duties and greet us with pleasant |
wave of the hand or jolly word of
good-fellowship. At practically all
the farmhouses along the road en-
tire families would turn out to greet
us and receive the various advertis-
ing matter thrown from our cars in
passing.
Our course was along the line of
the freighters, which forcibly re-
minded us of the pioneer days-the
heavy-built, wide-tread freight wag-
ons, piled high with wares, drawn
with four to six strapping mules.
The drivers are the same good fell

Editorial Comment
What Would Happen?
(BOStOn Advertiser.)

The refusal of 1000 Illinois farmers
to deliver their milk to distributors I'M
til higher price is paid, has led to
some speculation on what would han
pen If all the farmers of this country
should go on strike. On first thought
1t seems nonsensical even to dream of
such thing. But the farmers have
grievances, and cooperation among
them could quickly be accomplished by
popular leader. And who can saw
when a popular leader will appear?
Other industries have secured protec-
tive legislation. but in the East, at
least, legislators have been very slow
to help the farmers. They are always
the victims Of the middIe-men, banks
demand larger interest rates from
them than from manufacturers, and
often they are called upon to bear an
unproportionate share of taxes. Sup
pose they should get together and
strike? What could the consumers do ?
There is, of course, no likelihood of a
nationwide strike among farmers in
the near future, but no industry which
employs 100000 people will nurse it's
grievances in silence, forever.

It 10 Germany's next move. To pre-
vant the severing Of friendly relations
with the United States it is only ne
cessary that she cease her submarine
piracy. II she does not intend to sub
init to our demand she can say so, and
then would come our history making
duty.
The severing Of diplomatic relations
does not necessarily mean the follow
ing Of a status Of war. It is true that
war usually follows such a proceeding
because both disputants are usually in
such a state Of mind that hostilities
are welcomed, but there is yet oppor-
tunity to escape war. And the burden
of decision in this case would fall
upon Germany
Thus Germany can, by few words
bring about a declaration of war be-
tween these two great and friendly
peoples.
The responsibility lies in the next
and the third utterance between gov
ernments. II she prefers her under
sea murders to the friendship OF
America, 1t is her time to make choice.
II she thinks her submarine boats can
DO more for her than the United
States can do against her, it is for her
to decide.
If Germany decides to cut the bonds
of friendship with America she will
confirm the prophecy Of her destruc-
ton in the magnitude of her madness.
Even a war party that has cultivated
blood madness for two generations
should see the folly Of singing beyond
all human patience, her last friend.
We cannot go to the German border
with men, ships or guns, but we can
deal blows that will cost her more than
all the casualties at Verdun.
And, more than all these things, a
declaration Of war would set pace for
preparedness" in this country that
Europe in her crippled and depleted
state could not follow.
The decision is Germany's; she can
now arouse sleeping lion or she can
confer a peace blessing on humanity
by abandoning her inhuman methods
Of warfare.
