WHAT THEY SAID

'eAA%AL AAAIL O<l1O
The Liberal Democrat has been
sold to Mr.. John B. Miller, who has
ordered a new linotype and proposes
to push the Democrat to the 'front.'
Garden City Herald.
Abe Hiebert, editor of the Liberal
Democrat, sold his paper last week to
]. B. Miller. Abe will be missed by
boys along the line ii he makes his
second adieu final.-Fyrone Observ-
er.
Mr.. Abe L. Hiebert, editor and
publisher OF the Democrat at Liberal
Kansas, sold to John B. Miller, a
newspaper man Of many years expert
ence. Mr.. Hiebert has built the Dem
ocrat up from nothing TO a splendid
paper, and Mr.. Miller has a thriving
paper to start on and has ordered a
linotype. We are sorry to lose Mr..
HILBERT from our exchange but well
come Mr.. Miller as one of us.-Tex-
homa Argus.
Abe Hiebert recently sold the Lib
eral Democrat to John B. Miller, a
former worker in the shop, but more
recently publisher of the Bucklin
Banner, which he sold last spring.
Mr.. Hiebert has built up the Demo
crat wonderfully in the two years he
has had it and he is selling to hust-
ling publisher, too. We understand
that Miller has ordered a linotype
among other new equipment. AS he
now counts himself along with the
other two retired publishers of that

crat, which goes under his manage
ment the first of the year. l am glad
that Miller is back in Kansas. He
is too good a newspaper man to waste
his ability on the desert air of Okla
homa. John is getting back on ground
that will give him free rein editori
ally. For several years he has beer
on independent papers, but we ex
pect to see some real Democratic COS
pei in the columns of his new paper

Another important change has TAX
en- place in the newspaper fraternit,
in Southwest Kansas. Abe L. Hiebert
who has so ably steered the course O
the Liberal Democrat for the past tw,
years or more, has retired and is sue
ceeded by John Miller, the capable ex
editor of the Bucklin Banner. Mr.
Hiebert has made a mighty fine pape
out of the Democrat, taking hold of i
when 1t was just about down and out
and it is regretable that he finds i
necessary to retire just at a tim,
when he seemed to be getting things
going good. Editor Miller is a genu
inc hustler, too, and will no doub
realize on the great opportunities of
fered in the metropolis of the South
west. Here's best wishes for success

and in few days was over his cold"

Fill the Silo.

1t is rumored that here and
there are occasional ones who plan
to let their silos stand idle this
winter. The copclusion has been
reached that feeds are too high 10
Justify the keeping CT livestock.
Evidently the plan is to rid the
farm of meat and milk producing
animals as soon as pasture season
is over and sell the feeds raised
this year.
This IS shortsightcdness, to say
the least. as it is evidenced by the
recent drops in III" prizes of farm
grains and the increases that have
taken place in prices of dairy pro-
ducts
If the corn, which represents 60
per cent of the crop. is worth
given price for others to buy and
feed, it is then, together with the
stalk leaves and shucks, which
represent 40 per cent Of The crop,
worth just as much to the man
who raised it.
When conditions have finally
readjusted themselves it will be
very apparent that he who owns
silo and fails to I'll it this fall will
have made serious mistake.
The world needs animals and
their products as much as it ever
did and the demand is greater in
proportion 10 the supply than it
ever was. Such a condition points
to but one logical conclusion and
that is. it is but the part of wis
dom to conserve and improve upon
our flocks aud herds The pos
SCISSOR of a silo can do this more
cheaply than any other. This is
the year, therefore, to pack every
ounce of green corn in the silo
that is possible, and feed it as
judiciously as it can be fed this
winter-KimbaIl's Dairy Farmer.

LET'S TIGHTEN OUR BELTS.

Speaking of food conservation Charles OBrien writ
ing the publication Medicine and Surgery says that
Germany, England and Belgium, by putting their people
diet have reduced the death-rates away from the
actual fighting front. In Germany it fell from 1872 per
1000 to IL following the shortening of ratons.
These mortality facts become more significant when
considers that they affect the population remaining
after the drawing for of many thous
ands of the younger, stronger and healthful
bers.
There is reason to doubt that in world of too
much eating, America holds easily its place If
really and save a great deal of food and
improve our well-being, should be willing to
take up the business promptly
