Liberal is known far and wide as
a good town. The reason for this
is the favorable publicity given by
papers of other sections. The town
is held up as an example Of a real
live one by newspapers everywhere,
and it has always lived up to its
advertisig.
Last week Liberal received about
the biggest single piece of publicity
it ever received. The Democrat
was responsible for this and takes
considerable pride in the matter.
The Democrat is the only weekly
newspaper in the United States that
is set the "All-Slug" way. That is,
no type is used in the paper, the
composition of both reading matter
and advertisements being done on
two machines. The news matter and

BIRDS WOULD CONSERVE FOOD
Return Of Feathered Benefactors to

II the Eastern states alone could
bring back the quail, the rOse-breasted
grosbeaks and other bird benefactors
they would save $15,0OO,OO0 year in
the price of materials used to kill pO-

Charles P. Shoffner Of the Liberty
Bell Bird club made this statement, the
Philadelphia North American states.
He made a plea for the birds as a
means of conserving the nations food
resources.
IF Pennsylvania had but one pair
of robins to the acre." he said, "the
birds would consume 5000 tons Of in
sects day. The nation loses $1,000
100000 year through ravages of in
sects which the birds can eliminate.
"Next year the country must double
its crop output to feed its army. 1t Is
necessary, therefore, to have the best
crops we can obtain, and the way to
obtain them is by bringing back the
birds"
Mr.. Shoffner explained the impor-
lance Of erecting bird houses to take
the places of the thickets, the hollow
trees and other natural resting places
for the birds which have disappeared.

line of printing equipment. For
this reason the Mergenthaler Limo
type company placed an order with
The Democrat for 1,400 copies of
the paper which they intend to send
to each newspaper in the territory Of
one of their offices. In ordering
the edition they stated that more
than likely they would want subse-
quent issues for each district office,
and should they do this, The Demo
crat will visit every newspaper Of
flee in the United States.
With the copies they are sending
out is special advertising matter,
calling attention to the same, and
the Liberal, Kansas, Democrat comes
in for its share of publicity. This
is going to make The Democrat the
best known weekly newspaper in the
whole country, and it is going to give
Liberal some advertising that can
not be estimated in dollars and cents.
We are going to make good on
our promise to the people of Liberal
to place The Democrat in the front
ranks Of Kansas newspapers, and we
believe the effort is appreciated by
most of our live wire business men.

BERMUDA IN FOOD CRUSADE
Government Of Island Colony Urges
Farmers Not to Rely Further on
Imported Supplies.

United States Consul Carl r. Loop,
at Hamilton, says: The department
of agriculture of Bermuda has issued
leaflet for general distribution
throughout the colony, urging on the
farmers the necessity of growing larger
quantities of food for home consump-
ton. 1t says in part:
"The government is most anxious
that farmers and others realize the
Importance under present conditions Of
increasing local food supplies. The
high prices of imported foodstuffs,
which are likely. to be still further in
creased in the future, add very great
ly to the cost of living, and at the
present time it is patriotic duty for
all to do their utmost to insure the
practice of economy In every depart
ment of life.
Heretofore the farmers of the col
ony have depended too much on i'm
ported and too little on homegrown
foods. The present aim Of every farm
er should be to produce as much food
for his family and live stock as he can
grow with economy, and to have a sur
plus to sell. BY so doing he can great
ly reduce his own cost of living and
at the same time lessen the colony's de-
pendence on imported foods. The high
cost of imported foodstuffs should in
crease the demand for local grown
foods, and market would seem to
be assured, especially for potatoes,
both Irish and sweet, and pigs"
