Road Boosters
Have Meeting
Liberal Man President
of Great Plains
Highway.

Something like twenty-five good
roads boosters attended a meeting at
Scott City Tuesday for the purpose
of effecting a permanent organiza-
tion in connection with the Great
Plains Highway which passes through
Liberal.
The trail will run from Corpus
Christi, Texas, to Portal, South Da-
kota, and promises to become one Of
the best travelled roads in the coun-
try.
A meeting was held in Topeka a
couple of weeks ago at which time
temporary organization was perfect
ed. At this time j. G. Trindle Of Lib
eral, manager Of the Liberal Auto
Supply Company, was elected pres
ident. At the Scott City meeting the
temporary organization was made
permanent, and thus Liberal has the
distinction of having the chief Off
cial of one Of the most important
highway movements that has yet been
undertaken.
Mr.. Trindle is fully deserving of
the honor. He was one of the ORR
ginal good roads boosters of the
southwest, and a pioneer in the work
Of marking roads. He is well quail
flied for the position, and the Asso-
citation used good judgment in his
selection.
Among other things done at the
meeting the markers were designated.
The boosters from Liberal includ-
ed the officers of the Chamber of
Commerce, the county clerk and the
county commissioners, as well as many
business and professional men-all
good roads enthusiasts.
We are informed by one in attend
ance that there was no need to man.
ufacture enthusiasm as every person
who came was bubbling over. And
they came prepared to speak Of good
roads. They were posted on how to
make them and how to keep them in
condition, and were supplied with all
necessary information.
The county commissioners from
every county in Kansas through
which the road will pass were there,
as well as the commissioners from
several Nebraska counties.
The people all along the line are
fullysalive to the great benefits that
will result from this road, and are
enthusiastically taking hold Of the
work.
H. W. Magruder, President Of the
Liberal Chamber of Commerce, went
to Topeka Immediately after the
meeting to meet with the State Char
ter Board and the Blue Sky Depart
ment in connection with the road. He
was accompanied by W. o. Woods.

SENIORS GIVE A
SUCCESSFUL PLAY
Had a Big Crowd And Each
Performer Acquitted
Himself Credibly

The Senior Play, EARN Folks" was
given at the Majestic Theatre, Tues
day evening, May 22. The house
was crowded.
When the curtain went up for the
first scene, Della Slocum is seated on
the door step of the Goodwin Farm
house. Bijah Finn, Jack of all
Trades, stops to chat moment. He
goes on. These people are usually
known as Gladys Carson and Ellis
Kimble. Mrs. Peasley then stopped
to tell Mrs. Goodwin that Mrs. Bur-
leigh and daughter are staying at
her house. They are New Workers.
Mrs. Goodwin and Mrs. Peasley are
known to Liberal folks as Louise
Falls and Vera Young; Mary Ken
nedy and Velda Reynolds were the
New Workers. A little later Dave
Weston comes to the Goodwin home
to see Miss Flora The every day
names of these people are Hiram
Jarrett and Margaret Reasoner. Mr..
Goodwin, alias Loyal Patterson also
steps into the scene. When Mr..
Weston sees Flora coming with a
New York man, Phillip Burleigh, he
goes away quite angry. Mr.. Bur-
leigh, otherwise Joe Black, asks Mr..
Goodwin for the hand of his daugh-
ter. Mr.. and Mrs. Goodwin give
their consent.
In the second act Mrs. Burleigh,
who is Phillips mother, persuades
Flora that Phillip is only playing
with her. So she consents to break
the engagement. Dave Weston has
stolen letter from Phillip to Flora
so the deception is helped. Later
Flora agrees to marry Dave, her for
mer sweetheart.
A few weeks later Della Slocum
and Bijah Finn are married and go
to New York on their honeymoon.
They see Phillip and tell him that
Flora is to marry Dave Weston.
Phillip is heart broken. Young Bur-
leigh accuses his mother Of breaking
the match. She confesses. Dave
Weston repents Of his deception and
confesses all. Flora forgives him
freely, but he says he will not marry
her because she loves Phillip. Dave
goes away and Phillip comes to claim
his bride.
John Wooden acted the part Of
Butler in the Burleigh home.
The play was splendid success.
The people were well trained by
Laura Woods. Some said it was the
best Senior play ever given.

BACCALAUREATE
EXERCISES HELD
A Nice Program and Timely
Sermon Made Occasion
Pleasant

The Baccalaureate Exercises OF
the graduating class of the Lib.
eral High School of 1917 were held
at the Christian Church, Sunday
evening, May 20. The Junior Glass
had decorated the church with the
Senior colors, old rose and white
Ferns and roses were also used in
decorating. At an early hour the
church was filled with parents
teachers, friends and classmates of
the graduating class.
The program was begun by Miss
Ruth Anthony, member Of the Jun
ior class. She played the prelude
DAWN" while members Of the High
School Chorus took their places in
the choir-loft. Then the Seniors
marched in to occupy the seats re-
served for them.
After the conclusion Of the pre-
lude the congregation sang "Holy,
Holy, Holy" Miss Bruce, music
teacher in the Liberal schools had
charge of the singing.
The Invocation was quite fitting.
1t was given by Rev. Albertson, pas
tor of the Friends Church.
The anthem, "Hark, Hark, My
Soul" was beautifully rendered by
the High School Chorus, assisted by
Misses Norman and Thompson. The
two ladies sang the solo parts.
The Scripture Lesson was read by
Rev. Albertson He read the first
chapter of Psalms. The congrega-
ton then sang "Come Thou Almighty
King"
The Class Sermon was delivered by
Rev. Hestwood, of the Methodist
church. He began by congratulate
ing the class on having finished a
definite task. He used as his text
Matthew 6:33. "Seek Ye" could
have been called the keynote of his
address. The man must seek for
opportunities to make good. He
also said the man who shirks large
tasks is not wanted. The greatest
task of man As to find God and ap-
ply him in his daily life. Man must
know and recognize God as the head
of everything and back of every
thing useful or good. And the most
fruitful way to find God is to study
humanity. If we give our all to God
he will provide for US. Christ, Life,
and things worth while are not hap
things and we should not
treat them as such. Prayer was then
offered by Mr.. Hestwood.
The anthem, "The King of Love
My Shepherd Is" was rendered by
the High School Chorus.
Rev. Hestwood pronounced the
Benediction.

Two Business
Houses Burned
Kansas Avenue Visited
By Destructive
Fire.

Tuesday evening about 10 O'Clock
fire was discovered in the rear OF
the City Meat Market, conducted or
Kansas Avenue by Miller & Farrell
The alarm was at once turned in and
the fire company responded in few
moments. However, by the time they
arrived the fire had gained consider
able headway.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
There had been no fire in the building
for two weeks, and there was no
electric wires in the small room in
WHICH the fire started.
The building was owned by W. s.
Wolley and the building and con-
tents were complete loss. Mr. VOL
ley carried insurance, but not enough
to cover the loss. Messrs Miller and
Farrell had some insurance, but sus-
tanned heavy loss. Mr.. Wolley has
signified his intention of building a
brick on the site of the building des-
troyed, but has not determined the
size.
The meat market will be opened
as soon as suitable location can be
secured.
The fire spread to the building
owned by Farmer Bros. This room
was occupied by the Farmer Bros.
real estate office, and the Moon &
Snyder pool hall and barber shop.
There was no insurance on the build
ing which was a total loss, but the
pool hall and barber shop equipment
was insured, and some of the equip
ment was removed.
The Farmer Brothers will erect a
two-story brick where the old build
ing stood, and as soon as the insur-
ance adjuster arrives work of tear
ing out the remains of the building
will be started. The new building will
4 ,.6x100 feet, and Mr.. Farmer says
stnat they have had calls for every
room in the building already.
The work done by the firemen is
to be commended. Not one person in
hundred who watched them work
had any idea that the fire would be
stopped until the whole string of
frame buildings were destroyed, but
they handled the work in first class
manner and outside Of the two build
ings destroyed there was no further
loss. The fire department from the
Rock Island gave valuable assistance
and deserve especial credit for the
part they played in preventing fur
ther spread of the fire.
There was no wind blowing, which
was very fortunate, for with strong
breeze there would have been no
checking of the fire and the entire
business section of the city would
have suffered.

easily. There we're bicycle races,
girls races, horse races and even an
older mems race so that Lee Larrabee
could run. Lee won ribbon. Glen
