New York-The persistence of jer-
sey is to be applauded. The silk
weave of it has shuttled in and out of
the fashions in an interesting manner,
and the wooden weave has held its own
place even in an unusually warm
spring.
There was a time when even the
best dressmakers thought that the fab
rio might turn out to be caprice:
They realized that a certain type of
closely woven silk jersey became an
expensive burden to bear, because it
did not last sufficiently long as q, first
fashion to bring back the original
price paid for French gowns made
of it.

SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, March 12.-Cattle re-
ceipts al the local market were on
the light order for a Monday, esti-
mate calling for 1000, which is a
falling off as compared with both a
week ago and the corresponding day
a year ago. Market for both killers
and stockers developed a degree of
strength and activity as compared
with the close of last week.
Hog market was in an unsettled
condition and was late in getting un-
der way. Fresh supply was rather
light, but there was quite a holdover
from Saturday. General conditions
were bearish and when trade got un-
der way, most sellers reported the
deal as rs Q35c under the closing
days average. Tops reached $16.S5,
while the bulk of sales ranged from
$16.5 a
Big end of the sheep supply was
direct to local packers. The few

Shall The Truth AbOu|
You Be Known?

The Western Liberal frequently is
in a position to weigh the harm and
the good that straightforward truth
telling might do. Don't say, reader,
harm. No one knows more accurate
ly than the editor that the bald truth
may sometimes do more damage than
a lie.
There most certainly are times when
silence is golden.
Many persons are Of the opinion
that public prints should never be
silent when startling truth might be
told. In this connection, however,
they always think of somebody else,
never of themselves.
There is scarcely person in Lords
burg who. il he were indiscreet enough
70 tell all he knew about his friends
would soon merit their loss, He would
be telling the truth--but silence
would be the better way.
1t is the same way with a newspa-
por. The Liberal would be the talk
Of the town if it. valued the naked
truth more than discretion and honor,
The truth sometimes is a fine thing
never 20 repeat.

Editorial On Knockers
Boosters and LOrdsburg
Are You a KnOCker? If You
Are Read This
Article

The Western Liberal is here to
boost Lordsburg, as every good citi-
zen should and when we quit boosting
we want some one to plant flowers
over our last resting place.
We have those among us however
who are knocking Lordsburg as hard
as ever persons can knock. Neverthe-
less they stay Shere, take Lordsburg
money and seems perfectly satisfied
TO live here and associate with our
people with ten trains running all
directions out of here each and every
day.
It is true that Lordsburg has many
Objectionable features the same as
every other town in the United
States. There is not a word of good
to be said about many conditions that
exist here but that gives no man the
privilege to say the town is composed
of sinners and q veritable hell There
are just as good people living IN
Lordsburg as ever a man who utter
ed curses against the tOwn-and in
many cases a lot better. Many things
in Lordsburg have been and are rot
ten but they are being eradicated.
The last year has seen the legal re-
mOval Of two Objectionable features.
Lordsburg is getting better.
1t is true, Lordsburg needs clean
ing up physically and morally.
Most every town can stand this.
There are many conditions here which
should not exist What we need is a
more organized effort to "clean up.
Howling about it won't do any good.
You have TO get at the seat of the
thing. Just because there are cor
rupt things, don't get up and knock
the town and its possibilities and
everybody in It, Don't keep people
from coming here. Lordsburg needs
to grow II needs boosting to get
GOOD people here 10 help clean up
Knocking won't get you anywhere
Do your share toward making condi-
tions as they should be-that is one
of the best ways you can boost.
Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1918-02-08

We have the finest climate, the
most excellent mining and stock
raising possibilities and one of the
best towns with future in the south
west. We are boosting Lordsburg
that people will come here to make
their homes. Pity the town that has
no boosting but is subject to the con-
stant knockers (some of whom we
have in our midst-but may their
stay be short.)
You who believe in Lordsburg as
a coming city boost for it. You
who knock it-get out. Let every
man work to make this a cleaner city.
Eradicate the immortality. Clean up
the Objectionable things but never
in one instance stop boosting our city
and it's possibilities. Don't forget
It's good points. Remember there are
as good people in Lordsburg as you
may claim to be despite the fact that
there may be people with whom you
do not associate.

My Dear Miss Harvey:
l wish, hereby, through you, to lay
before the members of the Lordsburg
branch Of the American Red Cross
my resignation as its chairman. l
cannot but regret the necessity that
impells me to loss my identification
with so noble a work as the Red Cross,
but | am delighted to know that l
have finally been accepted in the mill
tary service of my country.
1t viii be recalled that was chosen
as your chairman over my vigorous
protest. / felt that there we're others
lnore entitled and more fitted to head
the organization than !. That !
should likewise feel fiattered by this
recognition was but natural. At the
very outset we met up with many
obstacles. These we succeeded In
overcoming, and it will always be ono
of the keencst delights of my life that
| was able in some small degree, To
get this great work started in Lords
burg. / could not have done this,
however. had it not been for the gen
Crous assistance given me by our eX-
ecutiyc committee and the good
women of Lordsburg. 1t will be a
source of great qualification to all to
know that each did his or her bit to
help win this war. And every woman
who assists should gan comfort in
the thought that by her sacrifice, no
matter how small, she has made ex-
istence in the trenches more endura-
bic for some soldier Of her country.
| shall be glad to hear from time
/ 10 time Of the progress being made
/ by the Lordsburg chapter, and shall
await with eaFerness the time when
/ this frichtful war may have ended
with victory for a world democracy,
when | shall return and renew the
manv friendships so happily made In
/ Lordsbur~.
With kind personal regards, and
sincere good wishes for the success
of our Red Cross chapter, beg you to
believe me,
Very cordially yours,

HOME MERCHANT A
PERSONAL FRIEND

One of the strongest arguments in
favor of the home merchant is that
he Is a personal friend to his custo-
mers.
His advise is worth money. He
thoroughly knows the goods he traces
in and is in a position to tell pros
pective buyers what to watch out for
AS a matter of fact, he instructs
the public. Most of us got our en-
tire education about various neces-
saries and luxuries of life from our
storekeepers.
