SENTENCED TO
PEN FOR LIFE

The trial of Joe Manino, held on a
charge of numbering Pete Watson of
Plains. was held Monday, and so quiet
ly was the matter handled that the
man was tried in justice court and at
a special session of the district court
and was on his way to the peniten-
tiary before the people here knew that
he had even been brought here for
trial.
Manino, who was chased here by
a mob of Plains citizens a week ago
last Saturday intent on hanging him
for his brutal deed, pleaded guilty to
the charge of murder in the first de-
gree, and offered two very flimsy rea-
sons for his crime. One of them was
that Watson had at one time cursed
him and that woman had told him
to kill Watson. He appeared to be
hazy and muddled on these stories,
however, on cross examination by
County Attorney Wilson and it was
impossible to get but very little out of
the man except the admission that he
killed Watson.
The preliminary trial was held in
the morning before Justice of the
Peace Sumner and in the afternoon
Judge Day sitting in an adjourned or
special session of the district court
after hearing the evidence, sentenced
him to life Imprisonment in the PEN
itentiary. Manino was represented by
II. Llewelyn Jones, who talked with
his client through an interpreter from
Hutchinson. Meade Globe.

In each blossom of 'em, looking out
at you;
Lies world-like playground; life's
task to do.
Life's a winding highway going out
of town;
Life's a winding by-way leading
round and down,
To where streamers are running, rip
pling in the sun;
Glad days are the short days; sad
days are the long.
Life's a winsome maiden smiling up
at you,
Lies a lovers cottage in an ingle-
nook,
Standing in the shadows of wind
ing brook.
Life's thing of struggle, fretting,
and despair,
Climbing UP and falling, rushing here
and there;
Lies as you shall make it--love and
skies of blue,

The Children FrOlic

me Chllufen FfOIlC
The Sophomore party Friday even
ing might justly have been called
"Fhe Children's Hour" The lessons
and tasks for the day were all fin
ished, tests for the six weeks were all
over and no one had cause to be any
thing but gay The lads set forth in
Knockers while the Bonny Lassies of
16 summers came shyly in with alb
breviated frocks and enormous hair
bows. A few sons loyal to the "Old
Sod" presented themselves in overalls
while at their side trips sweet little
colleens wearing blue checked aprons
and their hair in pig tails. Even the
teachers who have long since passed
the rosy lane of youth, seized the OPP
portunity to drink of the Fountain of
Youth and become children again.
The evening was spent in playing
childish folk games and the youthful
guests enjoyed stick candy which is
a necessary adjunct to every group of
youngsters. At the close of merry
hour the little childish hearts were
gladdened and the little eyes sparkled
with joy when heaped up dishes of ice
cream and delicious little cakes were
served.

Boost the Track Team $500 .. ...-..
We find that to carry on real
successful track season we must have
the support of the students financially
and physically. 1t seems that those
at the head of the Athletic association
should get busy. 1t seems to the
writer that if there is to be resur-
rection it should come to pass soon.
Finances are thing to be consid-
cred carefully Someone should have
charge of an official list, go to each
spirited student and get his sigma
ture with the amount he expects to
give. 1t should be payable at GER
tain date and when that time comes
let the official get busy. Would the
president kindly appoint this official,

Thru the courtesy of the Democrat
we are able to publish high school
news in both papers. 1t Is true one
of the marks of progressive high
school is an independent publication.
1t is true there are many high schools
smaller than the Liberal high school
that have high school papers. The
purpose of any paper should be to
give news and the Bulletin, shown by
comparative study, covers as much
space and gives as much rlewsy news
as some other papers examined. The
Bulletin is read in 2,375 homes. Did
you ever stop to think what large
circulation the Bulletin has? 1t IL
read in Canada, China and the Phil
ippines; it is read in about thirty OF
the states in the United States; 1t is
sent to Washington, d. c., where the
Congressman have chance of read
ing high school news. Perhaps II
more towns had such editors as Lib
eral has there might be more high
school news published dependently
and the energies used in publishing
paper be directed another way. The

greatly-but don't knock your paper
it's what you put into 1t. Have you
been called upon to write news and
refused? Are you the one who said
THAT Bulletin makes me tired; who
wants to know that?" 1t is the gen.
eral impression that all the news
should come from the English de-
partment, but there are others re-
sponsible also. The editors would
very much appreciate. the co-opera-
ton of the teachers in this work. II
your reporters of your department
are not handling the proper reports
kindly see that it is done. If you
know a needed change, suggest 1t; II
you have some interesting topic for
the columns, please hand it in. The
Seniors have no way of handing in
news thru the English Department
and we have had few items from that
class We understand that there
have been frequent class meetings
and surly things of interest to the
school have been discussed. Monday
is news day" and be prepared to
hand some worth while items in.
Don't knock your paper. 1t may not
always be the paper at fault, 1t may
be you.

SEN. CHAMBERI.AIN'S
AMENDMENT BEATEN
Brandegee Move to Include
Cotton and It's Products
Accepted.

Washington, July 2-The Senate
contest over prohibition was compli-
Gated somewhat today when the agri-
culture committee endorsed Senator
Cores substitute stopping distillation
Of beverages and giving the President
authority to suspend making of beer
and wines. The committee compro-
missed Senator Chamberlain's amend
ment permitting the making of beer
and wines.
Despitei the scommittee's action ad-
ministration leaders planned a. contest
in the Senate to prevent giving the
President any power to stop produc-
ton of beer and wine and believed
they would be successful, although If
absolutely necessary many of them
are willing to accept the Gore plan.
The agriculture Committee stood six
to five on the Gore substitute and
voted eight to four gainst the Cham
berlain amendment. The committee
is composed largely Of those with
prohibitionist leanings.
Senator Sheppard of Texs told the
committee that the President would
not object to receiving authority re-
garding beer and wine. The state
ment was made on authority of Post
master General Burleson. The Gore
Substitute would give the President
also power to fix the alcoholic contend
of the light beverages
The general understanding in the
committee is that should Congress
give the President power to- stop
brewing and wine making he does not
propose for the present at least to ex-
ercise it.
The Senate adopted. Is to 23, an
amendment to the food bill. by Senator
