MARKSMAN IN HAITI

BY hitting the bulls-eye with un-
erring skill from the standing, kneel-
ing, or sitting position, Robert W.
Brownlee of Balko, this county, has
qualified as a markham in the United
States Marine Corps, winning the
badge of craftsmanship and an in
crease of pay, according to the Off
cial bulletin from Washington.
Young Brownlee is with the U. S.
Marines, now busily engaged in re-
storing order in the little Republic of
Haiti. While peace has been restor-
ed throughout the greater part of the
island, and occasional brush with ban
dts and other lively happenings pro-
vide plenty of excitement and adven-
ture for the Balko boy.

of Robert P. Albin, of Balko, and who
formerly resided there, enlisted in the

ONE OF THE UNADyERTISED
INDUSTRIES OF LIBERAL

J.. G. Rogers was a caller at this
office one day last week with mys-
terious looking box which bears the
ear-marks of being home made
whiskey still. The box was about two
feet long by twelve inches wide and
six inches deep. 1t was constructed
of hard wood, the joints being NOR
ticed and filled with white lead. At
one end was a hole about two inches
across, stopped with heavy wooden
peg. The box contained quantity
of what had at one time been white
corn, but its state of preservation
was lamentable, as it smelled like the
dump of slaughter house.
The box was found on the property
of Mr.. Rogers in the south part OF
town. 1t had the appearance of hav-
ing been buried for some time. 1t
was two feet or more in the ground
The. find created no little interest
in the contraption and there is much
speculation as to how it came to be
there and by whom planted.

RAIL ROAD SMASHED PART
OF DEMOCRATS LINOTYPE

The Democrat Is advised that the
missing part Of the linotype machine
shipped January 18th is stored at
Stony Island, ~ Y, in badly dam
aged condition, and will likely have
to be returned to the factory for re-
pairs.
We sometimes find fault with the
Rock Island, and sometimes we may
have right to feel peeved, but when
it comes to service we are inclined to
think that the big eastern roads are
far worse than ours. After sending
fifteen or twenty kilograms to differ
ent officials of the road and the Mer-
genthaler company with little effect,
it remained for Agent Hemphill to
take the matter up with higher off
Gals of the Rock Island in order to
get any idea as to the whereabouts or
condition of the shipment.
The Mergenthaler company dis
played about as much anxiety over
the loss of the shipment as would
have a cigar store Indian or an Egyp-
tian mummy, while the Lehigh rail-
road officials apparently went to
sleep all along the line.
Possibly some time in far remote
future the machine or wreck Of it
will be delivered, but it will be in
spite of the company or the Lehigh
Valley, rather than from an interest
or assistance on their part.
If the Democrat every buys another
type-setting machine itswill NOT be
Mergenthaler We want to deal with
a company that takes more interest
in their customers than merely get
their money and sign bill of lading.
If the machine is not delivered soon
we shall sacrifice what we have in it
and order an Intertype machine. as
we do not intend waiting all summer
and fall for this shipment.

PROFIT FROM sILOs
Ford County Farmer Has Two and
Will Build Third.

Jorgen Peterson, of ten miles north
of Dodge City, on the Sawlog creek,
one of Ford county's best farmers,
feels very enthusiastic over the silo
idea for progressive farmers in this
part of the state. He built two silos
during the past year, one above the
ground and one under ground silo,
with total capacity of IS tons.
These, two silos more than paid for
themselves the first year by enabling
him to-use forage crops which would
otherwise have been wasted. Mr..
Peterson has fed bunch of steers
which he is now selling on the high
market.
Mr.. Peterson expects to start the
erection of another tall silo in few
weeks with capacity of 100 TONS
