MISS IoRDAN,s GARDEN.

One of our most interesting gar
dens in Liberal is that of Miss Jor-
dams She has large garden and a
greater variety of vegetables than
any l have seen yet in the city, Be-
sides her tomatoes, squash, cabbage,
beans, etc., she has many new and
uncommon things grown this year.
Her Wonder Berries were almost new
to me, have not seen them in Sew
ard county before and they yield
very plentifully. Her watermelons
are the best have seen and tasted in
this part of the country. Miss Jor-
Adan has not spared time or labor on
her garden, for during the hot and
windy days last summer when many
people gave up their gardens she was
patiently spending the whole day out
in her garden. Miss Jordan is a
graduate from the Kansas State Nor
NAL at Emporia having earned her
life certificate. At present she is
Principal Of the Kismet High School.

PRATT BLOOD HOUNDS HERE.

M. G. DeVaney of Pratt was in the
city today and was in charge of two
blood hounds, the property Of the
city of Pratt. They had been called
to farm southeast of Beaver City,
where a farmer had suffered a loss
of broom corn, which was estimated
at about $4,000. Fire destroyed the
entire lot the other night, and the
origin was thought to be known. The
hounds was summoned from Pratt,
and the tracks of a man were soon
taken up by the dogs. The animals
had not proceeded far when the
farmer was willing that the dogs
stop. He was pretty well satisfied
about whose tracks we're in evidence.
Mr.. DeVaney says the people there
are well satisfied with the work Of
the dogs. Mr.. DeVaney refused to
divulge the reason for the hounds be-
ing called off the trail, saying he had
promised to give out no statement.

FROM OUR SOLDIER BOYS

all well fed, we'll quartered and gen.
orally well treated, but the change Of
climate, the new social surroundings,
the heavy exercise and that AWFUL
homesickness put lot of them on
the hummer. However, the great
majority Of the cases that we have
now are minor affairs and patients
are usually ready for duty within a
few days.
l was asked by several while was
noeral if | were to go to France.
Now. l am sure that don't know any
more about that than anyone else
does. | am also sure that no one
else does. However, there was a
notice hung up on our door the other
morning stating that in case anyone
of us or all of us were to receive or
ders to embark for foreign territory,
we were strictly charged to give out
the information to no one. When a
fellow receives that injunction he will
obey. / am in hopes that none Of us
will have to go, but if so, and it falls
to my lot to go, can only say that
am only proud to have the opportun-
ity to throw my little mite into the
great contribution box of service to
aid in putting down the most horrible
and inhumane conditions that the
world has ever known. But here,
have got to quit or l may become
sentimental and that is clear out of
my line. So will stop.
Give my regards to all Liberal and
surrounding people, and if anybody
anywhere in that part of the state
ever comes anywhere near here, /
want him or her or them to come out
and see me. Five cents will take you

WOMEN REGISTRATION.

Registration of Women closes on
October 81, and as means of offering
any one who has been otherwise
missed, an opportunity to register, a
registrar and blank registration
cards, also food pledge cards, will be
stationed at the Women's Club
House or Library, and also at the
Southwestern Hardware on Satur-
day, the goth day of October, 1917,
between the hours of two and six p.
m.
All ladies who have kindly 'acted
as registrars in city will please hand
in cards, both blank and signed at
earliest convenience, since there is a
shortage of blank cards on hands,
thus making it difficult to continue
the house to house canvass, and from
this announcement of the shortage of
blank cards you will understand that
it is only temporary and on Saturday
we will have the necessary supply to
meet the demand.

The Thayers Go
To HansfOrd,

Mr.. and Mrs. E. ]. Thayer will
move to Hansford, Texas, in a few
weeks and will establish a home
there. Mr.. Thayer has become cash
ier of the First National bank of
Hansford, and is now on duty. The
residential property of the Thayers
in this city is now on the market. It
is one of the modern homes and
handsome residence.
The fact that the Thayers are to
leave the city is sad news to their
many friends. They have been active
in the business, church and social
life and they will be missed much It
is thought that they will move in
about thirty days. For the last ten
days, Mr.. Thayer has been at Hans
ford arranging affairs and getting
line up on the work in the future and
will be here some time tonight for a
short trip to arrange about moving.
Mr.. Thayer is a good banker. He
came to the city during the summer
of 1900 and was bookkeeper for the
First State Bank when Paul s.
Woods was the cashier. He remained
with the bank when C. E. Woods
came to the city and took charge as
cashier. Mr.. Thayer came to learn
the banking business and he applied
himself with a concentration that is
bound to win and he soon became
known and is in fact an able banker.
He saw the bank grow and he grew
with it, and when it was changed to
a national bank, he became assistant
cashier. c. E. Woods, says that Mr..
Thayer is one of the best men in the
bank that he ever worked with, and
that, we consider a compliment in
that Mr.. Woods doesn't usually
praise one unless he is deserving and
can and will deliver.
Several times, Mr. Thayer has con-
cluded to try other lines of business
in the city, but after given time he
would go back to the banking busi-
ness. While he appeared to progress
all right, he apparently was never
satisfied outside of the banking cir
cles. The Democrat is pleased to
note that Mr.. Thayer has secured
the First National of Hansford. He
has in former years become acquain-
ted with all the old timers in that
section. Years ago, the same people
were depositors in the First National
of Liberal, and those old timers are
friends of Mr.. Thayer. He will have
no trouble about Immediately grasp
ling the banking situation at Hans
ford. The new situation will enable
Mr.. Thayer to develop his talent, and
we expect to hear from him later as
prominent banker and as well an
important factor in the citizeny of
Hansford, Texas, and that section Of
the Panhandle.

THE WHEAT PRICE EXPLAINED.

YORK, NeDr., oct l3, 19l7.
Although there has been much said
by way of explaining the government
price Of wheat many people are still
asking for information on the sub
ject, and this is not at all strange for
the problem of price fixing by the
government is entirely new to our
country.
The price now is 1920 at Chicago
for No. wheat of the different var
ieties. This price was determined by
a committee of twelve selected by the
president, the membership if the COM
mittee being composed Of two prom
inent economists, two representa-
tives of organized labor, two repres-
entatives of big business, two presi-
dents Of state agriculture and one in
dividual farmer. There were on the
committee four men actually engaged
in farming.
The price of 1920 for No. what
at Chicago is fixed price for the
1917 crop and will not be changed be-
fore July 1, 1918. The government
will buy all wheat offered at that
price, provided there are no other
buyers who will pay that much, but
will not permit any buyer to pay
more. So that, although the govern
ment may not buy all of the wheat
yet this price is fixed price that will
be paid by all buyers and which will
be made neither more or less.
In the legislation establishing food
control the Congress placed a mini
mum guaranteed price on the 1918
wheat crop. This minimum, below
which the price cannot go, is $500,
but is based on "the principal inter
ior markets" and not on Chicago
alone which means that the price can
not be below $500 at any one of
those principal primary markets"
such as Minneapolis, Omaha, Kansas
City, etc.
The price of $500 is only a mini
mum guarantee. 1t will become eff
fective July 1, 1918, and continue in
effect until May /, 1919. 1t will not
be changed or withdrawn. 1t is not
a rule of the Food Administration,
but an act of Congress. No matter
how large the crop raised next year
may be, if there are not other buy
ers for the wheat who will offer $500
the government must take it at that
price On the other hand if costs of
production increase or there is light
yield, or if for any other reason the
costs of production are unduly high
or the demand is very urgent, the
price may be above $500 as it is
now.
The present price of $500 is fix
ed price that will not be changed in
any way until July 1, 1918. The act
ual price for next year can not be
less than that but it may be $500 or
more.

THEN AND NOW.

At least seventeen years ago when
the poles were erected to carry the
telephone line from Liberal to Shapes
creek, connecting the Smith and Hol-
land ranches and the ranch of j. B.
Trindle Of Boyd, to town, the writer
of this announced the enterprise of
Geo. S. Smith & Bro. with degree
of pride. A little later the telephone
business increased and finally a tele-
phone excahnge was established
in the city. 1t was then that the pa
per proclaimed to the world that the
streets and avenues of the growing
city of the southwest were a network
of wires, that the town was becom-
ing metropolitan in appearance-an
it was.
: 4 But the world moves along, max
ing changes, and ideas do too, some
times, and so does the telephone
business. Today about all the hun
dreds of wires burdening the poles,
which were occupying valuable
space, are removed. The wires are
nesting in cables buried in the
streets, and the poles are being taken
away to build the country lines or
placed in allies in the residential sec
ton.
And now 'tis declared that the city
of Liberal is putting on metropoli-
tan appearance, becoming modern!
And we believe that's right. In
few days more the only poles in
sight in the business section will be
those owned by the light and power
company.
