1t is hardly creditable that the 126
people from Liberal to the Canadian
convention are as sore as the two edi-
tors of that town try to make it ap-
pear they were. Simply awful how
they were treated, but those of Gar
den City who remained to see the con-
vention through did not view 1t as
this aggregation from Kansas did.
Liberal has been accustomed to "slop-
ping" over on Oklahoma to get what
she wants, but to 60 to Texas the job
Is too big; and, too, she is getting too
FAR south of the mason and Dixon
Line" for freaks to do business

1t may be incredible, but it is a
fact just the same, and If anything a
blamed sight sorer. Many have ex-
pressed the opinion that the Liberal
papers did not 60 strong enough.
1t also makes little difference as
to how Garden City felt in the mat
ter, and we take 1t that crooks have
more luck south of the above men
toned line Yes, that's what we said.

GRADING AND ROLLING ROADS
Steel Device Invented to Correct Ger
tain Degree Fault Of Drags on
Dry Highways.

Split logs and drags and CONNER
cially manufactured drags involving
the basic principle of Mr.. d. Ward
Kings simple split-log drag have
done much for the dirt roads of the
nation, and these make up the bulk
Of the mileage of the country roads of
this nation. The originator of this
type of drag advocated their use while
the road was still muddy, to puddle"
the dirt of the roads surface and so
make il more waterproof as well as to
smooth the surface of the road. This
is the best time to use them, for then
hey accomplish these two tasks so
Important to the making of good
dirt road. But for some reason or 9TH
o. the bulk Of users of road drags per-
pist in using them only after the sur
face of the road has become dry and
rough after rain, simply to smooth
1t up..
When used in this way, all the drags
of this type have one basic fault; they
leave a ridge of loose dirt in the GEN.
ter of the road. If the weather con-,
tinues dry and hot, this soon dries
and pulverizes into dust, to be blown
about with the shifting winds. If it
rains, this loose dirt quickly absorbs
q large amount of water and turns
into mud--much quicker than 1t would
have been If it had been packed firm
and hard, instead Of being loose and
porous. Herewith is showr drawing
Of steel. drag Of this same. kind
which is designed to correct to GER
tain degree at least this fault of drags
when used on dry ground. 1t is de-
signed TO pack more or less firmly
this little ridge of loose dirt which is

TRExLER BUYS KEYSTONE


During the past week a deal was
made in which NJ C. Trexler became
the owner of the Keystone hotel build
ing. Willes p Wright, the former
owner, took in exchange for the Key
stone hotel, his residence on Grand
Avenue and quarter section of good
land, tract of so acres of irrigated
land in the famous Yuma Valley sur
rounding Yuma, bAriz. This region
produces great crops of alfalfa, cot
ton and other staples, and during the
past season residents have raised $175
worth of cotton to the acre, and sworn
statements have been made showing
1900 pounds of alfalfa seed to the
acre.
Mr.. Trexler is showing his good
faith in Liberal and its future by this
latest deal and has materially in
creased his holdings here. The deal
was made through the Matkin Agency
who have also sold the Abe Shumate
property the past week to E. M. Mills,
who moves here from Haviland this
coming week.

DRAGGING ROADS IN SPRING
Operations Should Begin Just as Soon
as the Frost Starts to Come
Out Of the Ground.

Nothing adds more immediate value
to our farm land than accessibility to
markets, such connecting link between
the farm and market being a good
road. The early dragging of our dirt
roads is certainly to be commended.
Just as soon as the frost begins to
come out of the ground, the farmer
should commences dragging.
This is not laborious job, a good
team can put the road between him
and the first crossing toward town,
even If half a mile away, in good con-
dition in half day, and he will save
many times the cost of such labor or
expense during the year. Besides the
additional value it adds to the farm,
there is that personal pride that we all
owe to every community, and especial
ly TO ourselves.

Atlanta, July amy man who op-

was virtually condemned as a traitor
by members of the Georgia House
OF Representative today, when that
body, 10y the overwhelming vote of
III to 8, passed a resolution pledging
the support of the General Assembly
and the state of Georgia to Woodrow
Wilson and the United States in
Americas war against autocracy.
The resolution was introduced last
Tuesday by Representative Pace, of
Sumter county, but its passage was
held up by Representative VIM, of
Hart county who took the floor in
opposition to it and was still speak
ing at the hour of adjournment.
When the resolution was brought
up again today Mr. VIM resumed his
speech. He said the people of the en-
tire South were opposed to some of
the war measures of the administra-
ton and that re received many con.
gratulations on the stand he took
Tuesday. If the House passed the
resolution, he said, it would be going
contrary to its action in protesting

American Soldiers Are Pleased
With Their Quarters in France

Paris, July 5.-When American
troops arrived at their barracks they
were greatly pleased by their as.
sisnments to quarters in a flve-story
building, mainly constructed of stone,
which they will occupy exclusively.
The French government had supplied
individual beds with mattresses and
a supply of bed linen. The sleeping
quarters take the three upper stories
and are light and well ventilated. On
the ground floor are shower baths and
wash rooms.
After arms were stacked and sup.
plies properly stored, the French sol.
diers at noon served an excellent
luncheon of roast beef and cold bolog-
ma sausage, baked potatoes, cucum.
hers and lettuce salad, cream cheese,
bread and butter coffee and cherries
and oranges for desert. The French
will supply all rations used in the
barracks.

DRAWING CONsCR|PTS
THE NEXT WAR step
Announcement of Method May Be
Made Today-Offcials in Confer
ence.

Washington, d. c., July 6.-Arrange
ments for the next step toward mob
ilizaton of the new national army
the exercise of the selection for draft
were taken up tonight at a confer
ence between Secretary Baker and
Provost Marshal Gen Crowder.
Mr.. Baker said later he had no an
nouncement to make as to the date
OF the drawing. 1t has been announced
that the drawing will be held in Wash
ington, and it is expected statement
covering the method to be followed
will be made tomorrow or the next
day.
Organization of the local and dis.
trict exemption boards, the arrange.
ment of the registration lists in serial
numbers and other preliminary work
must be completed before the selec-
ton machinery can be set in motion.
A statement by the public informa-
ton committee says this may be done
Saturday. Though there is no. certain
ty about it.
Reports current today that selec-
lions already had been made probably
arose from the fact that many boards
have numbered their registration cards
and in some cases probably already
are publishing the lists as required by
regulations.
The last district will have to COM
plete this work, however, before select
tion can begin, as the administration
is determined to leave no loophole for
juggling of the serial number. 1t is
for that reason that public posting
Of the lists and the filing of duplicate
copies with the provost marshal gen.
eral has been required in advance of
selection.
The care with which the numbering
of the registration cards is being car
ried out makes it certain that the
drawing will be based entirely upon
the numbers. No names will be in
volved in the actual process of selec-
ton, which will closely approximate,
it is understood, the jury wheel sys.
