The boy dartcd away and returned

KEEP A PIC

1t will be news OF the farmer, per-
haps that we are now selling more
hogs than we raise. In America,
the people consumed more than three
pounds moro OF pork per capita dur
ing the last fiscal year than in the
average of the two years before the
war;
Farmers who are doubtful about
pork prospects should remember that
the nations feed supply is above nor
NAL and the meat supply is below the
demands now made upon it. Lower
hog-feed prices are already indicated
in the reduced price OF new-crop corn
Therefore, it must be to the vital ad
vantage of every farmer to raise
hogs,

Geo. w. Fielder, the Hutchinson
piano tuner, who has been in Liberal
the past several weeks, was given
several columns of space in Presto, "
the American Musical Magazine, last
week, for an article on the care Of a
piano. Mr.. Fielder has spent many
years in this territory tuning and re-
pairing musical instruments and has
worked up a large list of regular
patrons. His work is of a high or
der and no greater tribute to his
skill could be asked than the article
in the leading trade journal of the
country. When the authorities on
matters accord their columns
for technical articles it is a recog-
milton of ability that cannot be dis
puted.

CALL ELECTION
TO VOTE BONDS
Very Little Opposition Against
The Bonds. Practically
Assured of Road

In this issue appears the call for
the election to vote bonds for the con-
struction OF the north and south rail-
road through the county. At this
time there appears to be nothing in
the way of the success of the election.
Everyone who speaks about the pro-
position seems to favor it, and 1t now
looks like the long wished for north
and south road was almost a certain
ty.
From Finney and Haskell counties
the reports are most, encouraging.
During tht past week we have heard
from both counties and the report is
that sentiment is almost unanimous
for giving the road what they ask.
Tuesday March 9 will be day that
will go down in the history Of South
west Kansas as the day which
brought the greatest good to the
country II present indications count
for anything.
Let us not desist but keep spread
ing the gospel of the benefits to be
grained from the road until the lps.
vote ie s~-fl 49, . 20 ''-'S F

,Grain Company. ste io'' VI
tnS Orld that -. s.mest Kansas Is
a y where they do things and do
them right. There is absolutely NO
reason why there should be a single
vote against the issuance of these
bonds. If 1t would cost any man
cent there might be some excuse, but
when 1t is paying investment with
no outlay no one has valid excuse
for opposing them.
Although we have not heard of
such matter. there may be the man
who lives a great distance from the
proposed line of road and will not be
personally benefited by this line. II
there be such we would call his at.
tention to the fact that this road will
be the means Of making Liberal the
railroad center of Western Kansas.
With two trunk lines through here
the smaller lines will be glad to build
here, and 1t Is only a question of time
until there will be other roads seek
ing admittance. These roads will en-
deavor to get as far as possible from
the lines already established, so the
further this road misses you the bet
ter chance you have of being close
to the line of the next one to come.
However, IL this road misses Seward
county there is no telling how long
1t will be before we can secure an
other. Really, the matter of person
al benefit does not or should not enter
into the question, as it is a benefit to
every man in the county in an in
direct way, whether it benefits him
directly or not.
Let us all try and see just how near
we can make the election
IN March 9Th. 1t will be big boost
or the county.

GAVE .AsHowER

Last week some of the friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Dotson de.
cided to give them variety shower.
Friday evening, fearing the excite
ment might be too much for Mr., Dot
son, If all the donors called ON him,
a few of them slipped In ON the fam
lily with many gifts that had been ac-
formulated by friends and merchants.
A number of the merchants pledged
gifts for the children which were
later supplied at the store,
The gifts included articles Of food
wearing apparel for children, and
money to meet current expenses.
When the amount to be raised was
Appropriated, many doubled their
gifts and pledges. DIR. Dotson, 1t will
be remembered. had an attack of ty-
phoid fever, and since suffered a re-
lapse, and has been unable to work
ior apout slx months. II was de-
signed to make the shower one that
would aid them during their affic-
tion.
1t is needless to say the people OF
Liberal are generous. Out of the
limited number spoken to, some OF
whom did not know the family. only
one refused and another made restric-
tions in giving, as the articles and
the quantity were usually left to the
wish OF the party solicited. !.
1t is pleasure to realize that in
times of affiction and need, the citi-
of fellowship with such ,free and
OF fellowship with such fire sand
generous spirit.

Delegation XX'ed
At Canadian
Reception Given Liberal Delegation at Canadian Speaks
Poorly For That City. Cards Were Stacked


There was much indignation on the
part OF the Liberal people. It would
seem that after asking that delegates
be named they should be recognized,
and Liberal accorded place In the
meeting even IL the route had been
determined previously, and there are
seri0us doubts in the mind of our
people whether this is true.
A communication from Canadian to
the Liberal Chamber of Commerce
dated January 23rd says: "The
route for the Highway will be select
ed at this meeting" and further says,
III you desire to send committee I
assure you that they will receive a
cordial welcome from the people Of
Canadian. We will provide free en-
tertainment for all who come and
serve a formal banquet at night in
honor Of the visiting committeeman.
II you decide to come kindly send the
names Of the committeeman I'm ad-
vance. Each town sends three men
as committeeman" W
No place in the letter does It say
thatlthe route has been definitely de-
cided. It does intimate that the COM
mittee favored route through Guy
mon, and that is Just the reason the
great crowd turned out. 1t was
thought there was a possibility that
1t could be brought through Liberal,
and had we been given a. ghost of a
show it is very likely that it could
have been done. and we are of the
opinion that the reason we were
ignored lies In that fact.
WITH by TIA OAO lao 40 A0I OF
There appears to be discrepancy
somewhere. The meeting was called
to hy out route. The letter says
such is the purpose of the meeting,
From the chair we are Informed that
the route has been determined def.
nitely for some time and that 1t is a
waste of time to even talk about it
going through Liberal. II the route
had been previously definitely deter
mined, why did not the Canadian
Commercial Club so inform us and
save us long, tiresome and expen-
sive trip?
The Liberal fellows think they
have been gloriously double crossed
They went to meeting to lay out a
route and found the route had been
laid out for months; they were asked
to send delegates aud these delegates
were ignored. 1t was a raw deal, !
and Liberal is sore. But because Lib
eral is sore is not sign she Is going
