The Liberal Equity Creamery, with
a capitalization of $4,000 is soon
to be reality if the plans made by a
group of Southwestern Kansas farm
ers work out successfully. About so
shares have been sold already and lit
tie effort has been made. Only 200
shares need to be sold to get char
ter and begin work. Active selling of
shares will begin July 1st, when sew
eral men will devote all their time to
the work. Members will be sought
in all towns from Bucklin to Dalhart.
Shares will be. sold at $50 each and
only one will be allowed to'each indi-
vidual. Profits will be divided ac-
cording to patronage.
"The demand isn't so great around
Liberal where we have a creamery"
said John L. Boles, secretary Of the
association, "but at Tyrone and 9TH

we get started as soon as possible.

There was all sorts of fun mixed
in with the serious work of raising
these funds. The ministers espec-

Robbed summer.' Store.

Chas. Summers & Sons suffered a
loss of about $3.50 dollars when
thieves entered their store Tuesday
morning. The thieves gained en-
trance by cutting out a window in
one of the rear doors.
Good taste was shown in every
thing selected. The thieves seemed
to know just where to get what they
wanted. Twenty or thirty silk shirts
in all styles and colors and four pair
of Edwin Clapp shoes were among
the fanciest articles taken. Two
pair of W. L. Douglas tan oxfords,
about five dozen fancy ties, three
suit cases and two suits of clothes,
either Style-Plus or Stein-Bloch, and
three or four caps also are missing.
No trace Of the thieves has been
found but they may be located when
an effort is made to dispose Of the
stolen goods as Sheriff Dobson has

Claude ScateS in
Auto Accident

A Buick car driven by Mrs. c. G..
Scates was struck by a Hudson car
on the Santa Fe Trail near Dodge
City at 7:50 o'clock last evening. The
Scates car was badly damaged but
no one was injured. The car was
driven by man named Pinkerton
from Chicago and was on his way to
Los Angeles. The driver was stopped
at Garden City this morning at the
request of Sheriff C. W. Woolwine of
Ford county. He was ordered to turn
around and go to Dodge City. At 2
o'clock the man had not arrived and
Sheriff Woolwine believes he is try
ing to escape arrest. Towns along
the road as far as Colorado have been
notified and if the Chicagoan is
caught, he probably will be prosecut-
ed.
( According to Mr.. and Mrs. Scates
the Chicago car was driving at rap
id rate of speed when the accident
happened.-Dodge City Globe.
Mrs. Scates is sister of Frank G.
Boles, of the Boles Dry Goods Co.
They had planned to drive to Liberal

What cream doesn't come to Liber-

it is made into butter This, of course
makes it an inferior product and the
creamery men cannot pay high prices
for that kind of cream.
The new association will probably
buy the creamery here and merely
enlarge the business.

Al. Blake Family
Leave For Okla.

A. E. Blake was here this week
from Orlando, Oklahoma, where he
is engaged in business. While here
he sold his fine home to Weidensaul
& Hobble, and will move his family
to Orlando. We hate like every
thing to see AL and his estimable fam
lily leave Liberal. We had counted
on them being permanent fixtures in
our midst and confidently expected
to hear that he had sold out, there and
would return to make his home here.
However the best wishes of host Of
lifelong friends go with them to
their new home. They will be sorely
missed here, and we hope they may
make many friends in Orlando.
!, Mr.. Blake came to Seward county
in 1887 and entered the grocery bus
mess at Oak City. Two or three
years later he went to, Tyrone, Kan
sas. When the railroad came thru
and missed this city he moved to the
Oklahoma city of the same name.
There he entered the cattle business
where he remained until 20 years ago
when he came to Liberal.
He went into the hardware bust
ness here, later being associated with
the Southwestern Hardware Com.
pany. Four years ago he became the
manager of the local branch of the
Blake Oil Company. Three or four
months ago he made a trade for a
grocery store at Orlando, where he
has been sine.
Mr.. Blake is president of the Peo.
pies bank, which was organized here
three years ago. He will retain hi!
interest in that institution. He alsC
owns the buildings occupied by thu

FARMERS TO GET
5 PER CENT MONEY
National Farm Loan Associa-
ton Begins Active Work
in This Territory.

Nearly forty Seward county farm
ers are seeking loans through the
National Farm Loan Association of
Liberal, Kansas, according to G. E.
Matkin, Jr., secretary Of the organi-s
zation. Loans aggregating about
100000 have been asked for and
most of them are to take up loans
that are now outstanding.
The local association is just getting
down to work after three unsuccess-
full attempts at organization. The
first meeting was held some time in
January and little later an organi-
zation was perfected. A loan was
applied for but some papers pertain
ing to it were lost. The year of the
association ended soon after, so an
other organization had to be effect
ed. This was done. But as soon as
work was to start, Secretary Broad
we'll resigned to enlist in the Govern
ment service, leaving them without a
leader. A short time ago Mr.. Mat
kin was elected secretary and now,
after two unsuccessful attempts,
loans are promised within few
weeks
"The Federal Land Bank is going
to mean a great deal to the farmers
of the United States and especially
of this western country" said Secre-
tary Matkin. Loans are made at 5
per cent with forty years in which to
pay off the loan. Take as an in
stance a loan of $1,5O0.The borrower
must take $75 worth of of stock in
the bank, which leaves him 81, ,425 for
his use. He pays off this loan and
keeps the interest paid up by making
II semi-annual payments of $45
each and a last payment of 500. At
the same time he draws 1-2 per cent
interest on the SIS worth of stock
he took in the bank. He also gets
his SIS back when he pays off the
loan.
A loan may be paid off at any
time after five years have elapsed.
The maximum loan is $4,000 and
the minimum is, $500. There have
been three applications for $4,000
but none of them was granted. The
president and secretary of each as
sociation becomes security on each
loan made.
The association will have loans in
this territory aggregating nearly a
million dollars within five years, Mr..
Matkin believes. The territory Of
the local association is composed of
all of Seward county and strip of
the southeast corner of Stevens
county.
Very few loans are made in this
county for less than per cent and
then they are all made for short
terms compared to the 40-year loans
made by the Federal Land Bank. So
it is quite easy to see that the new as
sociation promises to be popular
among the farmers.

Wilbur Brenton left Saturday for
Dodge City to accept position as
travelling salesman for the Dodge
City Wholesale House. Mr.. Brenton
has been here the past several months
as manager of the company's branch
house here and has made many
friends in his short stay here who re-
gret to see him go. Clay Fulton,
former manager of the house, will be
the new manager. Mr.. Fulton has
many friends here who are glad to
see him back at his old job.

was that all possible energy be put in
to. the building of the line and that
it be in operation as soon as possible.
Another matter that was discussed
was in regard to the new road using
the Rock Island depot. 1t was the
sense of the meeting that if possible
an arrangement be made whereby the
trains could be run into the Rock Is
land station here.
Asked whether or not the Rock
Island had been approached in this
matter, Mr.. Allen said that he
thought not, but the Rock Island was
very friendly to the new line and it
was possible that they could get to-
.gether.
Mr.. Magruder, president of 'the
Chamber of Commerce, stated that
while in Topeka he had, talked with
two officials of the Rock Island, and,
that they seemed of the opinion that
an arrangement of this kind was pos
sible. Mr.. Allen stated that the
president of the Rock Island said he
was glad to see the new road built
That while it would take some of
their business for time he was of
the opinion that it would develop the
/, country enough that it would more
than make up for what it took away.
Upon motion by E. d. Cooper, and
seconded by Ray Millman, Secretary
Hinchman of the Liberal Chamber
Of Commerce was instructed to write
President Fordyce of the C. X. & o.
and express to him the desire that if
possible the new road arrange to use
the Rock Island station.
1t seemed that everyone present
had the same idea in the matter. 1t
would make it much handler for the
travelling public as well as local peo-
pie to have such an arrangement. Mr..
Allen said that it would be necessary
to have separate freight depot for
i the convenient handling of the bust
ness of the road, but that he would
favor the joint use of the passenger
station if acceptable to the Rock Is
Land.
The matter of crossing the Rock
Island would have something to do
with this and that will have to be at
tended to by different set of Off
cials.
No one now doubts but that the
road will be built. Most of those
close to the inside have been pretty
we'll satisfied all the time that the
men back of it were the kind who do
things, and now it would be hard
matter to convince them that there is
doubt as to the line being assured.
i The news that work had been
started on the road spread like wild
fire, and everyone forgot about the
dry weather, and even the war, for
time in their enthusiasm.
1t will be great day for Liberal,
Seward county and Southwest Kansas
when the screech Of the whistle of
the engine pulling the first train over
the C. X. & o. is heard. 1t will start
an era of development that will
change the map of the county and
the Southwest. Hundreds of new
settlers will come to the territory, and
as a result Liberal will become the
main town of this part of the state.
1 Hurrah for Allen and Fordyce and
other estimable gentlemen back of
the project. When they finish this
line they can come and take most
anything here that they want. We
are for them good and strong, and
from their remarks, we should judge
that they entertain about the same
feeling in regard to Liberal.

DON'T FORGET THE HORSE!
There Was Another Hero in Wild
Midnight Ride of Paul Revere,
Reminds Writer.

Paul Revere's name was made inn
mortal when he rode from Boston to
Lexington and Concord, warning the
patriots along the way of the British
approach, and his fame has been Sc
curely enshrined in the hearts of all
Americans.
Historians have honored themselves
in honoring him. Poets have found in
spiration in praislng him. He is an
idol of childhood, an example in the
prime of manhood and a sOlacing men,
DRY of old age.
How few characters loom up like
great peaks above the mountain ranges
Of time!
And Paul Revere was one of these.
He was one of the precious few great
enough to grasp an opportunity to do
an incalculable good to mankind.
But while we give deserved glory to
Paul Revere, let us no longer forget
that there was another hero in that
wild midnight ride says a writer In
the Christian Herald.
There was the horse.
"Any other horse might have done as
WELL" you think? Well, so might any
other man have done as well, perhaps.
So might we flippantly dlsparage any
here.
But the fact remains that it was Paul
Revere's horse that did it. And the
harder work fell on the horse. But for
the true horses faithfulness, Paul Re-
we're would have been a failure.
