BERT LANE MAKES THE
ARMY FOOT BALL TEAM.

Another Liberal boy has received
recognition among the soldiers sta
toned at Fort Leavenworth. Albert
S. Lane, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Had
Lane writes that he has been elected
captain of the foot ball team of the
7th Regiment, U. S. Engineers, and
is playing full back on the team.
The Engineers are picked bunch,
among the requirements being that a
man must weigh at least 172 pounds
and be within half inch of six feet.
Bert is three-fourth of an inch over
the required height and considerably
over the weight requirement. He is
also an experienced foot ball player
and will no doubt be strong man on
the Engineers team.
His election to the captaincy of
the team is no small honor and The
Democrat is pleased to hear of the
selection,

HAD ROAD MEETING.

The proposed meeting of the coun-
ty commissioners for the nine coun-
ties in the western section of the
state at the court house in Liberal
for last Thursday night, was not at
tended by the several counties as
well as might have been. Clark coun-
ty sent splendid delegation with
its commissioners. There were ten
enthusiastic road boosters, who as
serted that they were ready and will
ling to begin campaign for better
roads. One of the main ideas of the
meeting was to encourage the idea
of having each county elect coun-
ty engineer, but since Meade with a
delegation of two and the Clark with
iten, were the only visitors who
kbould be interested there could not
be much of an appeal made to the
counties which had not prepared
themselves with an engineer. w. S.
Gearhart, state highway commissions
er was present and gave talk on the
road and bridge law and explained
some of the provisions that were not
clear. Seward county has an engi-
neer, Mr.. Joe Trindle, and the coun-
ty is ready to enlist in the good road
movement. There appears to be some
lack of interest among western
counties about the good roads
movement. People in the eastern
and the central sections are waking
up to the fact that good roads are
essential factors in the country's de-
velopment, and the western section
appears to be negligent.

NO WOMEN AT CAMP FUNSTON.

A correspondent of the Kansas
City Star reports about Camp Fun
ston, "a city of 5000 men without a
woman in it, near it, or around it.
That is what Camp Funston will be
when the construction work is finish
ed and everything settles down to
regulation military existence.
Women won't be allowed in the
camp even as visitors, according to
the present plans, and none will be
allowed to stop here for meals.
Everything will be done by men,
from darning socks to operating tele-
phone switchboards.
The present plan is to build rest
room for the Y. w. C. A. in the
northeast section of the camp, just
outside the regulation limits. Here
women visitors can meet their
friends, eat or secure temporary
! sleeping quarters. There will be a
street leading from the cottage to the
street car station, where smaller
rest room will be located, and the wo-
men will be allowed only to pass be-
tween the two places. No other place
in camp will be open to them.
Whether or not this order will af-
feet the chorus girls in the vaudeville
shows scheduled here this winter has
not been announced, but word has
come from headquarters that no wo-
men will be allowed on the reserva-
tion, only in the aforementioned
zone. The street, which exists so far
only on blue print, already has been
nicknamed "Petticoat Lane" because
it will be occupied and used only by
women"

MULE KICKED FARMER.

Robert Vogt was kicked by a mule
today at about noon and suffers a
long cut running from the right eye
nearly to the temple. While the cut
is probably not dangerous it is pain
full. Several stitches were necessary
to be taken by the surgeon.
Mr.. Vogt was preparing to go into
the field to sow wheat and was work
ing with the mules in the barn at the
farm near Lorena. Said he never
knew the mule to kick. His brother
was at the house when the accident
occurred, and he must have laid in
the barn several minutes before his
brother discovered him. His broth
er, H. w. cranked the Ford and
brought him to the city for surgical
aid.

PLAN NEW LIBERAL PARTY.
Dry" Moosers, Socialists, Single
Taxer and Labor May Fuse.


Taxer and Labor May Fuse.
Chicago, Sept. 24.---A political
working agreement among the Pro-
hibitionists, Progressives, Socialists,
single takers and union labor is said
to be the purpose of a conference to
be held here October 5th.
There will be one hundred dele
gates, twenty from each contingent,
and they will meet behind closed
doors.
Virgil G. Hinshaw, chairman of the
national committee of the Prohibi-
ton party, would not predict that a
new party was to be formed.
"Such prediction would consign
my own party to the scrapheap," he
said. Prohibition and Progressive
organs this week are expected to
publish articles on authority of Mat
hew Hale and Frederick H. Chase,
respectively chairman and secretary
of the national committee of the Pro-
gressives, and Mr.. Hinshaw and Sec
retary Frances E. Beauchamp of the
Prohibitionists, advocating the "wed-
ding" of the two parties. Their plan
would include membership of the
other "liberap elements; joint head
quarters in Chicago, New York and
Pacific Coast and Gulf states cities.
They would work through their sep
arate treasures for the election OF
at least forty selected congressman
in 1918.

During the long winter evenings l
am planning to get acquainted with
the girls thru club work. Our aim
will be mainly to do elementary work
in houshold duties and then as spring
approaches, we will be organized for
our garden clubs. Quite little time
can be spent profitably among the
girls in needle work, and few use
full little articles made, also in cook
ing the girls can try out the recipes
in foods furnished by the govern
ment
= One thing that every Seward coun-
ity girl wants to line up for is the
better garden movement" Girls if
you do this work it will be done well
and only small patch here and there
will help Seward county to come to
the front and rank high among the

A MODEL GARDEN.

Mrs. D. C. Wood has one Of the
finest gardens in Liberal Her tomato
vines are loadedt with big fine to-
matoes, which are ripening daily. She
will no doubt have all the tomatoes
she wants from her own garden.
Several pictures were taken this
week of Mrs. Woods tomatoes as
well as of her big nice beet patch and
of her peach trees. Her beans are
very nice and her late turnips are
ready for use. If there was on the
average one garden for every family
in Liberal, like these fine gardens,
there would be no need of importing
vegetables into our city.

denim the Martin boy for making way
with Pfeifer, some will find it diff
ficult to condone his manner of con-
cealing the crime, but allowances
should be made for the youth Of Mar
tin and his intense personal interest
in the matter. The big error was in
not going Immediately after killing
Pfeifer and telling the authorities
what he had done. If you are n
clined to harshly judge young Mar
tin sit down and quietly figure out
what you would do if some man
should brutally murder your father
or mother or brother, then escape
from a penal institution to come back
mad re-establish himself in the COM
munity as Pfeifer no doubt sought
to do.----Guymon Herald.

FARM AGENT TO SELL MULES

The attention of horse owners and
breeders is called to the accompany
ing announcement of the War De-
partment concerning the purchase of
horses for war purposes. 1t will be
seen that breeders who can offer
horses in carload lots are enabled to
deal directly with the Government.
1t is practicable also for groups of
farmers to organize and offer car
load lots. Your county agent will be
glad to aid farmers in conducting
such negotiations.
This method of direct dealing with
the farmers is undertaken by the
War Department at the suggestion of
the Department of Agriculture which
desires to serve the farmers and the
Government at the same time by ov-
grooming some of the differences
heretofore prevailing between what
the farmer has received and what the
Government has paid under the con-
tract system.
Farmers who desire to sell horses
or mules in this way are advised to
apply to their county agent for in
formation as to the specifications of
animals. AS soon as the county
agent learns that there is a prospect
of enough available animals to make
up carload or more he will appoint
a day and place for assembling the
animals for the preliminary inspec-
tion and for the organization of the
group of farmers for making an Of

 "Out by the barn." Katie respond ed. You want heem? I call heem qveeck," and she started for the door with her usual alacrity to do any err rand of mine.

It presents Farnum in one of the best and most unusual roles that he has ever had, that of Luther Smith. a brawny sailor of fast disap- bearing type, and it is q smashing tale of adventure and retributive justice in the South Seas. Smith. returning from long voyages finds his sister dead. and his mother dying, through the work of a man whose name he does not know. Despairing of all fu- ture happiness, and in an effort to forget the past, Smith ships aboard the 'Albatross' for a prolonged cruise through the stormy and treacherous South Seas. Unknown to him, the skipper of the 'Albatross' is the very

After a hot fist fight, in which Smith pounds the captain almost to a pulp, he decides to leave the vessel at the next port During the ensuing days, on that little island on the Southern Pacific Smith meets and adores a woman who is known, for obvious reasons, as 'The Painted Lady" Thinking too much of Smith to accept his attentions, she tells him of her past, and then, before he had time to recover from the revelations l leaves, and sails still further south. l The most exciting scene in the pie l ture occurs when the captain of the | 'Albatross who has rescued the ] Painted Lady from 8 ship-wreck, and l has been repulsed by her, takes her l to the African coast, and offers her ] for sale to the natives.
