James Calvert has been a familiar
figure in Liberal for years. He was
a likeable man, attended strictly to
his own affairs, and made few enc

county knew more people or was pet-

He realized that death was near

James Calvert. Dies from Shotgun
Wounds Sustained While
Out Hunting. ,a

James Calvert Of the grocery firm
Of Calvert Brothers on West Third

eral Hospital, as a result Of being
shot through the legs while on a
hunting trip Sunday evening.
Calvert, ]. A. Smell and Arlie L.
Martin went for hunting trip Sun
day afternoon, and during the trip
Calvert was shot with shotgun, the
charge passing through both legs well
above the knees. The wadding from
the gun remained in the wound indi-
eating that the weapon was discharg-
ed at close range.
He was brought home where
emergency treatment was given, and
was later removed to the hospital,
where he died early Wednesday
morning.
He lost so much blood as result
Of the wound that he lacked strength
to withstand the shock, and although
everything possible was done to pro-
long life it was to no avail.
Details Of the shooting are not

BUMPER CROPS

E. J. Stephenson, cashier of the
State bank at Moscow, Kansas, which
is in the extreme southwestern cor
ner Of the state, brings a rosy report
Of conditions. Mr.. Stephenson says
heavy rains all along the last few
weeks, almost assured bumper crops
Of kafr corn, cane and milo maize,
the leading feed crops Of that section.
Broom corn is the money crop of the
country, and it is big crop, although
the acreage is smaller than usual.
"In planting the broom corn, farm
ers had to calculate on help" said
Mr.. Stephenson. $50 with a great
shortage they reduced the acreage.
But an increased acreage Of cane and
other forage crops is shown, as these
crops may be handled at any time
without any assistance. We are well
stocked with cattle, and now that our
rough feed crop is almost assured,
stockmen and farmers are in fine
spirits over the lsituation. Kansas

IA SQUARE DEAL
FOR THE BABY"

A free show will be given in the
Majestic Theater in Liberal Friday
evening, July s, in the Interest Of the
Better Babies Movement. The show
will be given by the State Board Of
Health, and sixty slides will be shown,
the topic being "a Square Deal for
the Baby"
All interested in this movement
are invited, but as there is nothing
that will be Of interest to children
the request is made that they do not
attend so there will be plenty Of seats
for adults. s.'
The country has at last awakened
to the fact that real conservation
begins with babies. The death rate
among infants although not SO great
as in times past is still far too great,
and the nationwide movement to
conserve babies will do much to re-
duce infant mortality.
Live stock, poultry, ETC., have come
in for a great deal Of study, the meth
DDS of feeding and care having been
reduced to science, yet the most
precious Of all things-the human
infant-has been neglected, and left
to grow up or perish with most any
kind OF treatment.
If you have a baby in the home,
no matter how competent you feel,
attend this show, as even the best in
formed may learn something to their
advantage.

TO the People of
SeMard County

The apparent lack of understanding by
our citizens of that part of the Govern
ment's war financing program represented
by War Savings Stamps threatens to cause
failure of the present campaign inaugural
ed in accordance with the Presidents pro-
clamation of May 20, 1918.
A canvass of the returns SO far made in
dicates that very large percentage of the
pledges are for amounts much below what
might be reasonably expected from the
subscribers.
We are sure you do not want to see this
county fail to meet the quota set by Wash
ington and break the magnificent record
made in all other drives. g''.4 ee.-e
We are equally sure that when you know
the facts your response will spell success in
stead of failure.
Appeal is made to every citizen of the
county to pledge to the extent Of his ability,
and increase, if possible his pledge if al
ready made. To insure our quota, S129,-
$40 every firm and every member Of every
family financially able should subscribe for
the limit of 81 900; all others to as near that
limit as possible
The situationi is alarmingly serious or the
Committee would not address this appeal
to you, and we ask for quick and hearty
response.
