Wednesdays Opening

Baseball, IN all its varied span, has
known but one international crisis be-
fore this. There were no leagues in
the days of '6l. Baseball was then an
undeVelopcd, almost unknown, snort
sport just emerging from its cradle.
After the first league was organized
baseball travelled on through over "a
years of peace before the Spanish
American war came on. 1t has been
10 years now since that shadow moved
by so no one can say just yet what
effect the present situation will have
upon the sport.
All competitive sport now is in the
shadow. But as long as it doesn't
dotraCt from the main Job at hand and
doesn't interfere with the Country's
leading purpose it may still have its
place until more serious days arrive.

War and Sport

War and sport are in no sense alike
There is no touch of sport in war
The two games are entirely different
One is physical development The
purpose of the other is physical ex-
tinction--for the enemy.
But sport has its place in develop
ment for war, for. despite all the new
inventions and new ornaments, phys
ical stamina and vitality are still quail
tiles which have their place.
Other conditions being anywhere
near the same, a nation in fine phys
ical shape would have that much of a
start.
And this country. physically, has in
one way been we'll prepared There
has never been another nation in his
tory that has sent so many entries
into many varieties Of health giving
sport.

It is unnecessary for you to suffer
with eczema, blotches. ringworm. rashes
and similar skin troubles. A little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 25c, or
S1.OO for extra large bottle, and promptly
applied will usually give instant relief
from itching torture. 1t cleanses and
soothes the skin and heals quickly and
effectively most skin diseases.
Zemo is wonderful. penetrating, dis
appearing liquid and is soothing to the
most delicate skin. It is not greasy, is
easily applied and costs little. Get it

MANY SEVERE STORMS

Within the past month, Kansas,
Missouri and Illinois have been the
scenes of great many hail, tornado,
lightning and wind storms. Scores OF
people have been killed and more
than a million dollars worth of prop
erty has been destroyed There are
ways for people to evade these
storms; way for them to keep from
being injured. They may seek shell
ter in underground places and be
safe from injury providing they see
the storm in time. But there is no
no way to prevent damage to prop
erty. From a practical standpoint
few buildings can be built strong
enough to withstand the attack of a
tornado.
Since there is no way to stop the
destruction the next best thing is to
be prepared to remedy the damage
done as soon as possible. The only
way to be prepaid is to carry lnsur-
ance in some good company that does
business over a great territory. Small
mutual companies will not do be-
cause storms often wipe out an en-
tire community, thereby rendering
such insurance valueless.
A number of firms are mentioned
on this page who are worthy of your
patronage. They are all old and re-
liable, and able at all times to meet
their losses no matter how severe
they may be
When you need insurance Of any
kind, remember these people mention

LIBERAL VISITED
BY TWO FIRES
Losses in Both Cases
Small-Water Pres
sure Low

Liberal was visited by two fires
last week. The most serious one &C.
Cured Sunday afternoon when a
barn and two large coal sheds were
totally destroyed on the place occu-
pied by H. F. Malone Of the Wiley
Drug Company. A water tank and
tank house nearby were also destroy
ed. The property is owned by Mrs.
James Hitch of Guymon, Oklahoma.
The fire was discovered by Mrs.
Malone who turned in the alarm at
once. The fire had made great head
way before it was discovered and by
the time the firemen got there little
was left for them to do but save the
adjoining property. The water pres
sure was very low at the start owing
to the usual shortage. The water
had to be turned off at the down
town tank and turned on at the tank
up on the hill before the firemen
could fight the flames. The Rock
Island also turned water into the city
mains to help bring the pressure up.
There was nothing in tn barn ex-
cept $40 or $50 worth Of goods stor-
ed there by Mr.. Malone. There was
enough breeze to make the dry build
ing burn rapidly and the heat was in
tense. All of the window panes in
the south side of the Malone house
were broken out and the paint was
badly blistered. The flames were so
hot that several locust trees in the
back yard took fire and burned as if
they were seasoned pine. The trees
we're really the biggest loss of all be-
cause it will take many years to re-
place them whereas the barn and
sheds can be replaced in few weeks.
The alarm was turned in about 2
o'clock, that is, the first alarm. Be-
fore the general alarm could be
sounded several others had seen the
fire and turned in the alarm. Hun
dreds of people, many of whom had
just finished their Sunday dinner,
braved the heat of the MONDAY sun
to see what was burning. The dense
black clouds of smoke could be seen
all over the city.
The fire department suffered a
loss of $55 because some careless OF
uniformed individual drove over the
fire hose and caused it to burst. The
entire 50-foot section will have to bt
replaced. At the same time the
hose was rendered useless for fight
ing fire. Hereafter those who vic
late this state law will be prosecuted
according to Ed Kindschi, fire chief
The origin of the fire is not known
Another fire which caused a small
loss occurred at the Southwestern
Hardware Company's water plan
Saturday morning. A motor caugh
fire from an overheated bearing. j
large wooden pulley was burned VI
The damage was about $25. Tn
motor itself was not damaged.
The fire was discovered early Sal
urday morning by Mr.. Steele fror
his studio back of the building. H
turned in an alarm and the depart
ment responded promptly. No wal
er was thrown, the fire being pu
out by chemical extinguishers. TIL
hardware building was filled wit
smoke but no damage resulted froi
this source.
The fire department also was cal
ed out Saturday night. Some Roc
Island employees were burning tras
north Of the round house. Some on
saw the flames and hastily turned
the false alarm.
