THE AUTOMOBILE MAKES NEW
FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS.
The Cars From Afar are Beginning
to Follow the Trail Which Leads
Into Liberal,

Most any day on the streets of
Liberal one may observe many auto
mobiles. At the corner the other
day we noted heavy car, with
trunks tied on the side and at the
rear, and a, flying pennant showing
that it came from New York. A little
further down the avenue we discover
ed six cylinder with license tag
from indianapolis, and at one of the
garages receiving supply of gas
there were two dust covered cars
from SanFrancisco. These cars
from afar are beginning to follow the
trail which leads into Liberal.
But that is not all we observed.
The railroads have brought the peo-
pie of the states near together but
not such close relationship that the
automobile is creating. Every day
the tourists from the far away cities
visit Liberal and when they are here
we get in touch with the people of
many states, when heretofore our
neighbors extended only so far as
the carriage could convey us in days
drive. 1t is said that the trolley
cars which cover the territory in the
eastern states are making people
who are far apart neighbors and
friends, but today out in the west the
people of many states are brought in
to close relationship through the
automobile.

y 0thers 50 that he may have his

by others SO that he may have his
fling.
Ali of that is well illustrated in
the following article, which has been
clipped from the New York Mail of
recent date:
'Four thousand nine hundred and
sixty-six children have been killed or
injured while at play in the streets
of this city so far this year:
"0ne hundred and ninety-nine
were killed or died in hospitals.
Many who recovered will remain
crippled.
"The mayors committee is plan
ming a sunken garden in Central
park on the thirty-eight-acre of the
old reservoir. This acreage if used
as playground and swimming pool
would take 10000 children off the
street daily.
"Think Of it. Nearly 5000 little
ones killed or manned in one city in
eight months SO that man may in
dulge in his craze for speeding; death
and destruction following in the de-
sire of Milady that her percel shall be
delivered without delay; sorrow and
misery as the toll because our great
est city thinks more of business than
it does Of the babies, thinks more of
the dollar that it does of the conser-
walton of human life"

FARMERS AND CITY
CAN HELP RAILROAD
Rock Island Urges Farmers and City
to Aid Them in Eliminating the
KiIlinn Of SIncL On z ailrnad

MOCK isiano urges Farmers ana lily
to Aid Them in Eliminating the
Killing of Stock on Railroad.
The Rock Island road from its
publicity department has sent to all
publishers of the country long
communication regarding the num-
Der of live stock killed yearly and the
loss that it means in the way Of food
stuff. The railroad with its organiza-
ton of different departments has
been making great strides in helping
to stop the waste, and while it is do
ing its share asks that other help in
this: let all the farmers assist in
keeping the stock from the railroad
track by keeping the gates shut, the
city officials may help by helping to
guard the crossings. The price OF
beef ought to cause some and we be-
lieve everyone should help to stop
the killing of stock by the railroads.

FEW DRINKS THIS YEAR.

A talk with the city officials to-
day brings out the information that
they have arrested only two or three
men for being drunk and they say
there were very few DRINKS in the
city or on the grounds, A representa-
tive of the daily failed to find one
drunk during the motor show. This
is rather unusual. The records will
show that in the days of fair time of
the past as many as a dozen of the
"high life" boys were picked off the
streets in one day. The Bone Dry law
has a wondrous effect on some af-
fairs.

HOME DEMONSTRATION
WORK IN KANSAS.
Thirteen Kansas Counties Ask For
Agents. Work Already Progress
ing in MANY Cities.

Manhattan, Kans., Sept. 12.-
Thirteen Kansas counties have asked
for emergency home demonstration
agents. Arrangements have been
made for these agents in Chase, Nc
Pherson, Cowley, Anderson, Finney,
Ness, Seward, Stevens, Shawnee, and
Wyandotte counties. Agents will be
appointed to these counties as soon
as capable, experienced women can
be found for this work.
Other counties asking for emer-
gency home demonstration agents,
but in which the organizations are
not complete as yet, are Washington,
Morris and Riley. Emergency home
demonstration agents have been
working in Atchison, Kansas City,
Wichita, and Topeka for several
weeks.
Miss Frances L. Brown, director of
home economics of the division of
extension of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college, is temporary leader
of the emergency home demonstra-
ton agents in this state.

"MACIFIcENT IN SPIRIT,
SOUND IN POLICY"

In his Weekly Financial Review
Henry Clews, prominent Wall Stree
banker and financial expert, highl.
commends the tenor of Presiden
Wilson's note in reply to Pope Bene
diets peace plea.
Says Mr.. Clews:
president Wilson'S answer to
the Pope's peace proposals was
magnificent in spirit annd sound
in policy. 1t clarified the issues
between Germany and the AL
lies; so that every American can
easily understand for what we
are fighting. 1t showed that the
United States seeks no gain for
itself; but stands for justice and
freedom between all nations,
great and small, and reparation
for the wrongs done, without
vindictiveness or revenge. The
President stands clearly for the
open door, and is opposed to all
forms of trade restrictions that
would lead to international fric-
ton or Jealousy. His boldness
in asserting that the present
German-Prussian government
cannot be trusted, and that the
future of Germany should rest
with the German people is wise
and will have far-reaching eff
fects. The message as a whole,
if it could only reach the Ger
man people, would undoubtedly
hasten peace."-Gazette.

HUTCHINSON PRINTER
WRITES MARCHING SONG
Khaki Bill, the Kansas Limos Com.
position Will Probably Make a

Hit.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press at Hutchinson tells this story
about the new march song written
by Hutchinson musician printer:
One night "Slats" Watson, print
er employed on the Hutchinson News,
was at work at his linotype. As the
mats" ratified down and his machine
clicked along, strain came into his
mind, catchy marchy sort of air
that he couldn't shake off.
Watson, who is an orchestra mu-
stefan of local note, finally grabbed
a sheet of copy paper and hastily
jotted down the notes of the air. The
next night while at his machine the
rest of it came to him. Then he
finished it off later with the words.
That was only few weeks ago.
When the Second Kansas Infantry
goes across the seas, it will be to the
tune of "Khaki Bill" the Kansas
printers composition for thei march
song has been adopted by the Second
Kansas Infantry as its regimental
tune and song.
Last night, 500 soldiers of the Sec
Ond, encamped at the Dattall0n camp
here, marched down Main Street
singing "Khaki Bill" led by the regi-
mental band. The odd thing about it
is that very few Of the soldiers knew,
until after they had adopted the song,
where the battalion is encamped and
that it was Kansas composition,
written by man in the very town
regimental headquarters located.
Director Beeson Of the Regimental
Band of the Second, received a copy
of the march song shortly after it
was first published, and his band
played it at concert at the camp.
1t at once became favorite with the
band and soldiers.
The last time a Kansas regiment
crossed the seas it was to the tune Of
"Hot Time in the Old Town." and
the Fighting Twentieth made the
song famous in the Orient. But the
Second Kansas will now go to the
battlefields of Belgium and Germany
with a stirring march song that will
be real Kansas product, Khaki
Bill"

there is quite a bunch from this

his wife were up for the opening
day and outside of the races and
wild west stunts that were pulled off
by few cow boys and broncho bus
tiers, we could see nothing that in

boards we were sitting on, and when
we were ready to leave we had to
