HOME READING COURSE
FOR CITIZENS SOLDIERS



Defensive action alone never wins
victories. The army which succeeds
must be ready and anxious to attack.
There are many advantages in taking
the offensive. The destruction of hos
tile trenches by heavy bombardment
preceding the attack weakens the
enemy's spirit and sometimes leads to
the surrender of men who are in no
condition to Withstand assault. The
chief advantage, however, is the fact
that the attacking side chooses it's
own time and place to strike. forcing
the enemy to readjust his defences
| accordingly.

good infantry to defeat an enemy

The editor of the Democrat made
a trip to South Liberal Monday and
while in that part of town accepted
an invitation from Cash Waters to
take dinner with him at his hotel. 1t
was remarkably good dinner, and
as we ate talked Of old times in Lib
eral, when Mr.. Waters conducted a
livery barn where the postoffice now
stands. Cash erected the first cement
block building in Liberal, the Key
stone hotel building, which at the time
it was built was one of the finest in
the country. He also has the honor
of having erected the first brick
building south of the track. He is a
town builder and still has ample faith
in Liberal and Seward county. He is
doing a nice business and giving his
patrons their moneys worth.

$f20 FOR CAR
NOW TOP PRICE
GroWers Talk of Abandoning
Broom Corn for
Food Crop.

Broom corn continues on its up
ward climb and the market from
week to week takes on something OF
the nature of an aviation meet.
One ton Of Lindsey corn was sold
by Wichita dealer the last of the
week at 1920, and yesterday after
noon a Central Illinois firm sold a
car load at the same price. This car
was Lindsay hurl, sorted and sized,
and an exceptionally nice lot. 1t was
bought by the indianapolis Broom
and Brush Co., a concern which paid
$4O0 for two cars last week
During the week sales are reported
at $500 to $3.50 with a few choice
cars at higher figures. Storage corn
is going out rapidly and stocks are
extremely light. Surplus stocks own
ed by manufacturers offered for sale
amount to but little.
The question as to the size of the
1917 crop is now uppermost in all
minds and since the declartion of war
many fear that the situation will not
be relieved by this years crop. 1t
seems pretty generally agreed that a
crop of $4,000 tons would find mar
ket at profitable figure and it was
hoped that crop of this size would
be produced. This would mean a big
increase over the usual acreage and
there was indication of a fair acreage
increase until war was declared and
the cry was sent up from every source
for bigger cultivation of food crops.
This is having its influence and will
doubtless affect the acreage ques-
ton, though to what extent it is i'm
possible to determine.
In the corn belt of Illinois the pro-
paganda for food stuffs and the ex-
tremely high prices WHICH seem as
sured for the same is having notice
able effect, and several old growers
in this neighborhood have announced
that they will raise no broom corn.
They are afraid of the scarcity of
help at harvest time, and attracted
by the high prices for Indian corn
which is selling at $1.45 per bushel
in the local markets today. Reports
reaching here from the West during
the week indicate some broom corn
growers have cold feet on the matter
as they are skeptical about the help
question. This publication believes
broom corn will be one of the most
profitable crops raised on the farm
this year and also believes that the
question of labor will solve itself
when the time, comes. Labor may be
high in price but this burden will fall
on the users of brooms and not on
the farmer this year.-Broom Corn

G. A. Roggensees was here from
near Bucklin Saturday, visiting at the
Holland ranch. He came down to
bring E. Wiede, painter, who will
do some work for the Holland Bros.
Mr.. Roggensees is an old friend of
the editor and called for a visit. He
says that while there are many good
fields of wheat around Bucklin, his
happens to be one of the poor ones
and he expects to put the most of
wheat ground in corn. Gus has re-
ceived the short end of the crop prop
osition both for lack of water and too
much water for the past three years,
but he is sticker and a worker and
things are bound to break right for
that kind of fellow some time.
Here's hoping he will have bumper
corn crop.

We failed last week to mention
that the Ford Promoter had changed
hands. E. R. Manney, well known to
Liberal people is the new man at the
helm, and is making a mighty good
little paper out of it. Manney has
the ability, and with proper encour-
agement will continue to give the
town a paper of which they may be
proud. Editor Price has been ap-
pointed carrier on the motor route
out of Ford and could not handle the
paper and the route.

1t is said that about nine-tenths of
car trouble is caused by carbon in
the valves, and the Liberal Auto Sup
ply Company is now able to care for
this trouble, being able to remove
the carbon from the valves by an
oxygen process. If there is knock
in your car examine it for carbon,
and if that appears to be the trouble
bring it in and have it remedied. The
gasoline now being sold is productive
of much carbon and is causing motor
lists great deal of grief. The above
named company can eliminate the
trouble while you wait.

C. D. PUNK who lives ID miles
southeast of Liberal was in town
Monday with load of wheat. There
was something like 80 bushels in the
load and he sold it to the Equity Ex-
change for $3.50 per bushel. Mr..
PUNK says he was not holding it for
raise, but wanted to hold on until
he saw what the chance would be for
a seed crop next fall. He is now
satisfied that he will have plenty Of
seed, so is letting it go. He still has
several hundred bushels to sell.

THE STACKER

From ocean to ocean, DER mountain and plain,
Wars tocsin loudly is ringing;
From north to SOUTH from east to west,
Our boys to the colors are springng
But there are those who are hanging back saying
"Ili not go until they make me-
If Uncle Sam is wanting me,
They'll have to come and take me-"
Last night listened to such talk
And as musing sat it seemed
That vision passed before me,
Or else slept and dreamed
thought as walked lowly way,
By chance saw the devil
He was accompanied by all his imps
And things most vile and evil
He was brading whip of scorpions
With copperhead snake for cracker,
And he said with leer as he winked at me:
"Tis to be used upon Stacker"
A slacker's THING that through years of peace
Has enjoyed his country's blessings
And then's too to enlist for
When her wrongs are in need of redressing.
| will not allow them to enter here;
If they attempt it, I'll undo them,
And from the very gates of hell
With this scorpion whip pursue them
They shut out of heaven they're barred out of HE'LL
There's no place in all creation
Where Stacker is welcome, who's too mean to fight
In defense of his flag and nation.
