Will Buy Rabbits
BY the Carload.

A. L. Edison, manager of the Lib
eral Equity Cooperative Creamery
& Produce company, is advertising in
this weeks Democrat that he will
pay $1.20 a dozen for rabbits. At
his time he will receive a Car load.
1t is estimated that a carload is
about four thousand rabbits. Since
there are thousands and thousands OF
rabbits in this country there will be
little delay about having that order
filled, Notwithstanding the amuni-
tion is high priced. The rabbits are
so numerous that they threaten to
destroy crop, and the farmers will
doubtless take this opportunity to
clean the old shot gun and go into
his fields after the pests.
Mr.. Edison has lately arranged
with New York firm to receive at
least carload Of rabbits and there
is probability Of being able to buy
in greater quantities. The car
which goes at this time will be ship
ped as refrigerator express. As
soon as the farmers kill and bring
khem in to market, the rabbits will
be placed in the cooling rooms of the
creamery until there are sufficient
to make the carload.
One farmer in the city yesterday
when he learned about how many
rabbits would make carload, re-
marked that he had just about that
many on his farm, and would try to
fill the order in a few days. The
farmers, generally will appreciate
the effort to rid the country of the
rabbit pest, and Mr.. Edison will win,
the friendship of the farmers by rea-
son of having found a market for
the jack and the cottontail.

FRANK PILE INspEcTs MEAT.

Chicago, ILL.,, 18th, 1917.
Liberal Democrat:
Dear Editor:-I will write a few
lines about the war game as | found
it here. | arrived here on September
5th, and after a very limited amount
of red tape and very rigid physical
examination / signed with the
depot quartermaster. l found a
bunch of some thirty-four veterinar-
ians that had signed up ahead of me.
They had come from Washington, D.
c. to Southwestern Kansas, nine diff
ferent schools being represented.
Our purpose here was to receive
instructions in meat inspection for
army purposes. As the quartermas-
ter department was unable to pro-
vide us with quarters we were per-
mitted to take rooms where ever we
pleased, receiving regulation allow
ance for the same.
Our days work began at eight
thirty with a half hours study of
army regulations. This was follow
ed by short period of drill conduct
ed by various members of our group
who had had previous military train
ing. / have been conducting the drill
for the last three weeks. After the
drill We go in groups of three to the
various packing houses for study of
the meat game. We are required to
work with the government veterinar-
ians and go over every step in the
preparation of meats from the killing
floor until the meat is boxed and
ready for shipment to the camps. II
you think that the government is not
particular in its buying you should
read copy of the requirements that
they hand the packers with meat or
ders. The best is considered as
none to good for the soldiers. The
last few days we have spent with the
Borden Milk Company studying milk
and milk products.
Our course of instruction is now
over and we expect to be
ordered out soon. Just when we are
likely to go l do not know. 1t is quite
likely that we will be sent to the var
ious cantonments to take charge Of
the issue of meats and meat products
as they are delivered at the camp.
There is remote chance that some
Of us may get trip across the pond.
All are willing to go.
Chicago is full of Jackies but not a
great many soldiers are to be seen
as most of the national guardsmen
were sent to Houston, Texas.
l attended the second game of the
world series, stood in line from one
a. m. until eleven fifteen in order to
geta ticket. Not slow line by any
means as there was always something
doing.
Leaving this to your judgment as
to printing this / remain,
Yours truly,
Frank Pile.

THEY SAW WAR BREAD.

The War Bread demonstration at
the Scandrett & Fuest hardware
store last Saturday was a success.
Miss Nelson, emergency demonstra-
ton agent of Seward county, intro
duced the bread to about 800 women
of the county and the surrounding
territory. The crowds appeared to
enjoy the demonstration, and we
have heard several complimentary
remarks regarding the lecture and
the willingness of Miss Nelson to
answer the many questions present
ed. From time to time she will give
demonstrations in the city and the
next one will perhaps have even
greater attendance.

Nate Reece, who fifteen years ago
established the Stafford Courier,
and sold it year or so ago to de-
vote his entire time to his duties as
postmaster at that place, has tender
ed his resignation as postmaster and
purchased an interest in the Pratt
Daily Tribune. He will go to that
paper as soon as relieved from the
postmasterships Another linotype
machine, faster press and other
equipment will be added to the plant
and the Daily Tribune, always a
bright, newsy, little sheet will with
the additions to the editorial and
mechanical ends take its place with
the good papers of Kansas. Mr..
Reece needs no introduction to the
newspaper people Of Kansas He is
known as one Of the best writers in
the state and business builder as
well. We're glad he's getting back
into the game.

There are few heavy signs hang
ing loosely over the heads Of the pass
ing people on the streets in the bust
ness section Of the city which may kill
somebody some of these days and
then there will be big damage suit
begun. Last night representative
Of the Democrat had occasion to
come down the street while the high
wind was swinging the numerous
signs recklessly. Just after passing
one sign, which will weigh about 40
pounds, it fell and missed the writer
of this paragraph only few inches.
Had the iron sign struck the repres-
entative his soul would have no furth-,
er use for the mutilated remains and
would have taken it's flight to other
realms. That's sign that somebody
ought to regulate the sign business.
