Most Women Still Cling to This Old
Superstition But French Girls
Think That Day Fortunate.

There is no period In a wOman's
life that so completely changes ner
whole existence as marriage, and for
that very reason she is apt to be more
superstitious and fanciful at that time
than at any other, and while supersti-

not hesitate before making Friday

NEW PLANS FOR LIBERAL FAIR
CONTINUED From First Page.)

agreed to furnish a good balloon and
jumper for three days engagement
The managers of the Fair Associa-
ton feel confident that this act will
be sure to appear as these people
are good big manufacturers and have
a reputation to maintain. A good
price was paid for the act so that
they can affordd to deliver it.
y Makes Three Parachute Drops.
The special feature of this balloon
act is that the jumper contracts to
make from one to three parachute
drops each time he goes up. He is
able to do this by driving the balloon
up to very great height and then
dropping first from the balloon to a
parachute, and from that to the Sec
ond parachute, and then to the third.
1t is necessary for him to take three
parachutes up in the air with him.
This act will furnish all the thrills
required for one afternoon.
Merchants Pay
The expense of getting these spec
ial features has been very great, but
the Fair Association was guaranteed
$1,000 by the bushes men of Lib
eral, to be used in providing real
live amusement program that would
please all the people and make them
feel that the people of Liberal APP
preciated their coming and wanted
them to have good time. This
5 900 fund was raised by popular
subscription and practically every
business house in Liberal contribut-
ed to it, and it speaks well for the
generosity of the business and pro-
fessional men of the city.
good time. This $1,000 fund
was raised by popular subscription
and practically every bushes house
in Liberal contributed to it, and it
speaks we'll for the generosity of the
bushes and professional men of the
city.
An Automobile Show, Too.
Another new feature this year will
be a regular auto show. This fea-
ture was very popular with the local
dealers who were glad of chance to
get their new models before the
people. Space has been arranged in
the different buildings for this ex-
hibition. Many interesting exhibits
of new cars, new models and bodies
as well as accessories and attach
ments will be shown. Since every
body is Interested in automobiles,
this automobile show is sure to be
drawing card
Fine Racing Program Assured
The racing program this year will
no doubt be the best ever seen in
Liberal. To insure a good bunch of
horses the Fair Association assisted
in the organization of circuit for
Southwest Kansas. This circuit in
cludes eight Kansas towns, and in
cluded Larned, Great Bend, Meade
Dodge City, Garden City, Lakin,
Sublette and Liberal. From the
present indications there will be
more race horses on the grounds this
year than there ever was in two
previous years put together. One
man at Independence, Mo-, has prom
ised to bring two car loads of his
own, and has written that others are
going to come. In addition to the
horse racing there will be motorcycle
racing, auto racing, relay races and
if the weather don't get too hot, a
fat mans racer
"If anyone ever felt that he did not
get their moneys WORTH at the Liber-
al Fair, we feel that we can more
than make up for it this year." says
E. ]. Thayer, secretary of the Fair
Association.
