is its custom elected delegates to the
General Assembly. Mr.. W. H. Mey-

was elected lay commissioner from

to meet in Dallas, Tex, in May. This
is an honor for which the Liberal
church is grateful and Mr.. Meyers
many friends will rejoice. At the
same meeting of the Presbytery, Rev.
d. G. MacLennan was elected Moder-
ator of that body and in this way
again the people Of Liberal were Civ

that any church is SO highly favored
as is the case Of the Liberal church

The Equity Exchange Lumber
yard is branching out considerably
this spring. At the present time the

A sash and door warehouse 20x30
feet in size has recently been COM

installed, including a revolving rack
for garden tools and other small
implements which is time and labor
saver.
The Liberal Equity is much more
successful than in most places. The
different department heads are all
experienced men in their respective
lines, and they have back Of them an
organization that is harmonious and

A. MORROW DEAD:
BURIED AT GARFIELD
Has Been Resident of Kansas 81
Years and Ford County 4.
Seventeen Years

Alonzo Morrow was born February
25, 1847 in Jefferson County, ILL.,, and
passed away April 13, 1917, at his
home south of Spearville.
Thus is told in brief the existence
of life the latter part of which was
closely associated with events in Ford
county for the past seventeen years.
He has witnessed the vast wild prairie
turned into prosperous community
of contented people. He has known
the adversities that beset the pioneer
but never forgot his hospitable ways.
Mr., Morrow was well and favorably
known all over our community and a
legion of friends mourn his loss.
Mr.. Morrow came to Kansas in 1886
settling near Garfield in Pawnee
county. In 1900 he came to Ford
county where he has resided since
that time. He has been sick for
about 1S months and suffered great
deal, especially the last few months.
He was a devout christian, member
of the Methodist Church.
He leaves wife and six children to
mourn his going: DR.. Gus Morrow, of
Liberal; Mrs. F. o. Poison, of Whit
tier, Cal. Mr.. Angus Morrow, of Gar
field; Ralph, Veneta and Aletha Nor
row of Spearville, all of whom were
with their father except Mrs. Poison,
who could not get here.
Funeral services were conducted by
S. L. Kiser, pastor Of the Methodist
Church, at the home on Saturday af-
ternoon at 100 o'clock and at Gar
field at $50. Interment was made in
the Garfield cemetery.-Spearvile

up and the boys started for the place
after the flag. The man disclaimed
any part in putting up the flag and
laid it to his boy, but he knew it was
a German flag he said, and he alse
knew that the United States and Ger
many were in war. After the flag
was torn down he was told not to let
it occur again, and the man said he
sure would not.
The boys in the party were: Mar

ans, Blair Van Gundy, Theodore

and tore the flag down, while the

LIBERAL FOLKS
MAKE GARDENS
Seed Men Report Great
Demand For All
Kinds of Seed

Whether it is the effect Of the
high cost Of living or of the great
agitation for vegetable production
cannot be definitely ascertained, but
it is fact that never before in the
history of the country has there been
as much interest taken in gardening
as this spring. If the people Of the
entire state are as enthusiastic over
the matter as are the people here
there will be no need of anyone GO
ing without all the fresh vegetables
they want.
Men, women and children all seem
to be deeply interested this year in
raising vegetables, and on every back
lot, and in some instances the space
usually allotted to flowers, little
streaks of green show where the seed
has lately been planted.
Seed men report record bushes;
in the sale of all kinds Of garden
seed, and few days ago the supply
Of onion sets became exhausted.
If the enthusiasm exhibited a
this time continues, and weather con
ditions are anything like favorable
there will be no necessity Of ship
ing in vegetables this year.

A FOOD SURVEY
FOR SEWARD co
Ray Millman Named to
Direct Work in
This County

Ray Millman has been appointed
by Governor Capper as head Of the
Food Production force in Seward
county.
Mr.. Millman last week received
from the Governor a telegram an
nouncing the appointment and ask
ing him to name four other men as
a committee to see that this county
produced the maximum of crops.
The telegram urged immediate ac-
tion.y
With the prospects of the war be-
ing prolonged the need for greater
food production becomes imperative.
The shortage in the European coun-
tries is teaching the United States
that not alone men and money are
necessary for the success Of the ar
mics in the field, but that the food
problem looms large when the coun-
try is in state Of war.
Not only is Kansas engaged in the
agitation for more acres, but every
state in the Union is doing its part
that the people at home as well as
the armies at the front shall not suf-
fer for food.
The Democrat believes that this
county will do its share, and that all
possible land will be planted to crop.
In letter from the Governor to
Mr.. Millman the question of finances
is taken up, and the request made
that he be furnished with infor.
nation as to the ability of loca
banking institutions to finance the
farmers who expect to increase theil
acreage.
Those in charge of the food sur.
vey are taking the matter very seri-
ously and if Kansas does not produce
abcxe an average crop it will not bt
the >fault Of those who are at the
head Of the movement. 49,

V. J. Ross Buys The
McBroom Dray Line

Geo B. McBroom who short time
ago purchased the Liberal Dray and
transfer line from r. E. Gates, has
sold it to V. ]. Ross who is now in
charge of the business.
Mr.. McBroom thought he could
run the business and farm as a side
line, but says he soon found that he
could not handle both, and as he had
a pretty good prospect for a crop
thought he had better stick to the
farm.
Mr.. Ross is not stranger to Lib

in Beaver county for the past eleven
years, and has for the last year been
garage. He says he will retain the
present force of men and will strive

Since the call for volunteers and
the prospect of a system of drafting
the marriage license business has ex-
ceeded the speed limit, so to speak.
However, this means will not save
any one, as the government is said to
be considering an order that mar
riages made since the call will not
be counted as releasing men from the
