Riggle Brothers
Are Building
Have Started Work on
North Kansas
Avenue.

The Riggle Bros. grocery store will
be moved to a home Of its own as
soon as the building can be erected.
The boys own two lots two blocks
north of the postoffice on west side
of Kansas Avenue, and have COM
menced excavating for the basement.
The material has not yet been decid-
ed on. It was first intended to use tile
but the fact that this material cannot
be secured may cause them to use
lumber.
The building will be 24x60 with a
basement 1880.
A few years ago this location would
have been considered out in the
country, but the trend of business
seems at this time to be north on
Kansas, and they will have a good To-
cation. The boys are enjoying nice
patronage and will have more room
in their new location to handle their
increasing business.

1891 Population For Liberal
According to Official Returns
Entire County Shows Gain. Valuation Figures
Also Show Big Increase.

The assessors have finished their
work and the result Of their efforts
are pleasing to the people Of Liberal
and Seward county.
The population Of Liberal as shown
by the official returns is 1891, an
crease Of 848 over the figures for
1916. The population Of the county
also shows an increase over year
ago.
Every-township in the county shows
a gain with the exception of Liberal
township. This also would have shown
up better, except for the fact that a
part Of the territory occupied by the
Jordan, ball park, Land-Thayer and
Sdanyside additions were taken into
the city, and as consequence some of
the citizens of that township are now
assessed as being in Liberal city.
Some interesting facts may be
CLEANED from the returns. In 1916
the amount of personal property in
the city and county was $1,998,24O.
For 1917 the amount was $2,133,-
IT'S, a gain of $4,000. 1t will also

New Superintendent
Took Office Monday,

Miss Emma Thompson, who was
elected to the office of the Superin-
incident Of Public Instruction at the
election last fall, took charge Of the

Miss Thompson is well qualified
for the position. She came here sew
en- years ago and has been teaching
in the Liberal schools ever since. Be
fore coming here she taught in Sher-
idan county.
She proved up claim twenty miles
northwest of town, is well acquainted
with the people of the town and coun-
ty.
Her sister, Miss Mary Thompson,
will assist as deputy. She, too, is an
experienced teacher, and the Demo-
crat predicts that the school affairs
of the county will be faithfully and
carefully attended to.

Thompson and trust that they will
enjoy their work and the association

Good Roads Meeting
Scott City May %.

A large delegation is expected to
go from Liberal to the meeting of the
Great Plains Highway promoters at
Scott City May %. This will be one
of the most important road meetings
ever held and there should be good
crowd and plenty of enthusiasm.
The routing of this highway
through Liberal is one of the biggest
things that could have happened to
the town. Passing, as it does through
a wonderful country, and making the
important connections it will, there
isiEiS reason why it should not be as
popular as the great Santa Fe trail,
which has brought renown to Western
Kansas.
Let's keep boosting the Great
Plains Highway and do our full share
to make it road that will command
national attention.

place, Beaver second and Hugoton
third.
All things considered this was prob
ably the most successful meet ever
held by the Panhandle league. There
were more school competing and the
quality of the work done was perhaps
the highest in the history of the
league.
This is the first year that either
Hugoton, Beaver or Elkhart have
competed. But it is to be hoped that
they will decide to become perma-
nent members Of the league. We en-
joy meeting with them.
A number Of individuals who took
part in the meet deserve special mem
ton because of the excellent work
done. For Texhoma we would men,
ton Paul Roach and Sam, McAdams.
Lawson Tucker was Elkhart's star
man. Lloyd Critics showed up well for
Goodwell, and Hiram Jarrett was
Liberals greatest asset. Liberals
other point winners were Fred RAN
dies, Harvey Burns, Clifford Mackey
and Sam Woods.
Liberals 33 points were won as
follows: Jarrett II, Burns 5, Ram
dies a, Mackey 8, Sam Woods 1. The
other points were won by the relay
team consisting of Francis Harnden,
Lewis Bloom, Zack Woods and Hiram
Jarrett.
In the literary work Liberal was
represented by Elaine Black and Eu-
nice Gardner.

the statement shows the bank in a
mighty fine shape. The deposits show
an increase of over 100000 over the
last statement. The First National
keeps pace with the town and coun-
try, and increases in volume of busi-
ness and popularity all the time.
