F. Auction Sale will be held in Lib
eral Saturday, on the lots opposite
the Peoples Bank on West Second
Street.
The last sale was not we'll attended
on account of the weather and it is
expected that this will be hummer.
There is great demand for all kinds
Of live stock, grain, implements, etc.,
and good prices are being realized, so
a large amount of stuff should be Of
fered for sale.
1t is not necessary to list stuff,
merely bring it to town the morning
Of the sale and it will be taken care
of by the committee, and will be
sold.
The sale will begin at 10 o'clock
so get the stuff in as early as pos
sible, that it may be taken care of
before the sale commences. The
committee, John Thierer, Bert Allen
and R. W. Dickerson will be pretty
busy after things start up.
The biggest crowd of the year is
expected that day and there should be
buyers for everything brought, as the
sale has been extensively advertised
all over the country.
Begin now to make arrangements
to bring in anything you are not go
ing to use and turn it into cash. This

Rooms Over Moore &
Franklin's Office Are
Being Prepared.
INTEREST IN RED
CROSS INCREASING
Will Also Have Downtown Business
Office in City Building on
North Kansas.

New interest is being awakened in
the Red Cross work in Liberal.
The rooms formerly occupied by
the Liberal Telephone Company over
Moore & Franklin's office have been
prepared for the work room of the
society. Being centrally located the
rooms are very convenient.
The attendance was materially in
creased at the meeting Monday night
and this is encouraging. There is
plenty of work to be done and there
should be plenty to do it.
A downtown Office will be opened
in the city building, where Rev. d. G.
MacLennan will attend to the bust
ness Of the society. This will also be
a convenience and aid in the work.
Liberal is somewhat behind other
towns its size in volume of work, SO
there is urgent necessity for more
workers. Surely Liberal women are
not gong to be classed as slackers,
and when the need is made known we
feel they will rally to the work.
The great battle now in progress is
going to draw heavily on supplies and
II Is gong to be necessary to speed
up the work. The boys on the bat
tie front must not suffer for hospital
supplies.
Attend the meetings to the
work room and do your bit, even tho
1t is but few hours a week, as every
little will help.

All Are Willing
To Do Their Part
Farmers and Their Wives to Assist
In Selling Liberty
Bonds

The writer had the pleasure of ac.
companying Ray Millman on a triI
to the country yesterday in the inter
est of the Liberty Loan Drive to be
launched April 6.
The object of the visit of Mr.. Mill
man was the appointing of chairmen
in the different townships. The
names had been selected at the meet
ing the last of the week and Mr.. Mill
man was calling on them to ascertain
whether or not they would accept the
appointment. In every case those
selected agreed to accept and do the
work to the best of their ability, the
only thing that entered the mind Of
any was they might not be able to
do enough. On that score we feel
safe, as the committee used mighty
good judgment in the selections and it
is gratifying that all accepted.
In the various conversations we
gather that the people of the coun-
try are doing their bit honestly in reI
gard to the food regulations, and all
seemed to be satisfied that it was
matter of necessity and did not COM
plain.
1t would bring tears to the eyes Of
the kaiser, hardened though he is, to
hear the people of Seward county
talk; to hear them express even will
lingness to make any sacrifice to help
win the war.
There are no slackers amnog them.

Bought Large Tract
on the CimarrOn

A. L. Reick Of Clark county, Kan.
sas, is another man who has recently
decided it would pay him to discon-
tinue exclusive farming and purchase
a tract of land which would be suit
able both for grazing cattle and prof
liable farming. Mr.. Reick has spent
several days looking over the south
west for tract of land to suit his de-
sires, and returned to Liberal Thurs
day of this week, purchasing 92O
acres in Seward county from Griffith
& Baughman. The tract of land is
located on the Comarron river notrh
of Liberal, and is a fine combined
farm and ranch. This is one of the
first tracts Mr.. Reick made on his in
spection tour, and it certainly speaks
we'll for our country to know that he
came back here and made his pur-
chase after looking at all other locali-
ties.
Mr.. Reik is going to pay for the
breaking of 200 acres on this tract
of land, and just as soon as his ar
rangements can be made in Clark
county he is going to take possession
of the land.
Mr.. Reick has been very extern
sive farmer in Clark county, and we
know he will make good for himself
in Seward county, and we are glad to
have him become a resident with us.
