WELL KNOWN MAN CALLED
TO THE LIFE BEYOND
Wilbert Graham Passed Away at His
Home Near Liberal Monday.

1t was a distinct shock to the peo-
pie of Liberal and Seward county
when the sad news went out that
Wilbert Graham had passed from this
life, his death occurring at a o'clock
on the morning of January a, after
a sickness of short duration, having
only been confined to his room a
week.
Mr.. Graham has made Seward
county his home for about seven
years and has won many friends who
regret very much to have so good a
man taken from their midst when
Just in the summer time Of life. Mr..
Graham was an industrious worker
and q successful farmer, man of
high ideals and strong personality
and one who has helped make life and
conditions better for having lived
among us.
The remains, accompanied by Mrs.
Graham, the mother, and brother of
Peabody, and a sister from Parisville,
Kansas, were taken to Peabody, Kan
sas, the old family home, for burial

THE EQUITY MAY
ERECT A MILL
Directors COnsideraing
Plan to Add Another
Industry.
WILL DECIDE SOON
Another Meeting to Be Held a Week
From Saturday Will Determine
Definitely What Action
Will Be Taken.

A flour mill for Liberal may be the
next move.
At meeting Of the directors of
the Equity Exchange held last Satur-
day the erecting of flour mill was
discussed, and the proposition met
the approval of the directors. An
other meeting will be held a week
from Saturday, at which time the
matter will be definitely decided.
John L. Boles, president of the
Exchange, says that the Equity is
well able to handle the matter with
out selling more stock. The shares
have been raised enough to provide
sufficient funds to handle the matter.
He also says that it will not involve
great sum to start the mill. The
company already has the storage
room, the elevator, Office help, and
organization, so that all that would
be necessary would be the building
and machinery.
The Equity has steadily branched
out until it is becoming really big
business concern and the establish
ment of good mill here will mean
much to the town and the farmers in
the trade territory adjacent.
Here's hoping the deal goes thru
and that the mill will be grinding
-four by the time the next crop is
harvested.

IS DEDICATED
Large Crowd Causes
Consideration of
Enlargement.
TO START SUNDAY
Rev. Rayburn and Party Will Have
Charge of Big Union Evangel-
istic Meeting for the Next
Few Weeks.

The big tabernacle, which will be
used for the Rayburn meeting, has
been finished.
Last Saturday something like a
hundred men and boys assembled to
assist in the erection f the building
and the way the structure "grew''
was wonder to all who witnessed
the work. Rev. Inman, one Of the
Rayburn party, was here and super
intended the work. At noon the ladies
of the churches served chicken din
ner in the basement of the Christian
church, for those who assisted in the
work.
Tuesday night the building was
dedicated, Rev. Inman being assisted
by the local pastors. The audience
at this meeting was so large that it is
feared that the building is too small,
and there is talk of enlarging it.
Interest in the meeting is increas-
ing as the time draws near, and it is
confidently expected that it will be
the biggest meeting of its kind ever
held here.
Rev. Rayburn's methods are some-
what different from the ordinary
evangelist. In the matter of remun-
Grafton for his services he is decided
ly different. There is no finance COM
mittee. At one of the closing serv-
ices an Offering is taken for Rev. Ray
burn and that is all he asks. There
is no soliciting for money, either for
the evangelist or his song leader.
Reports from places where Rev.
Rayburn has been holding meetings
speak in the highest terms of his
methods and his work. The follow
ing is from a letter from j. H. Glenn
ent of the Dodge City schools to the
local committee, and gives an idea as
to how Rev. Rayburn is iked
81 wish first of all to congratulate
you on your good fortune in securing
the Rayburn Evangelistic party to
conduct your campaign. AS school
man l was much impressed with the
dignified and yet simple manner in
which this good company of people
operate, unassuming and yet effective
in their undertakings. l must con-
fess that they go far beyond ones
original expectations before the cam
paign is over. Their coming to your
town ought to prove to be a real
benediction. Mr.. Rayburn and his
party know how to conduct a cam
paign and they supplement their own
individual efforts with a deep spiritu-
al conviction.
Mr.. Rayburn himself has a wonder
full message and he knows how to
make it take hold. He is a dynamo
of spiritual power. Whatever you
do in the beginning, "Have conf
dence in his ability to undertake big
things" He and his party are equal
to the task If you will cooperate and
give them a chance. Mr.. Rayburn's
talks to the business men are good
logic and good sense as well as good
religion.
"Prof. Wickland, who conducts the
choir, will be an inspiration to the
young people as well as to the whole
community.
"Let me assure you that you have
a mountain-top experience ahead of
you if you are in the right attitude
of mind when this party comes"
Better plan to attend the meet
ings regularly. Everything must
close early anyway, and this will be a
pleasant and profitable place to

the bill enacted into law
The nine members OF the committee
voting on the Shackleford bill agreed
that IL was meritorious measure. Five
OF them. however. were afraid that in
surance companies would carry out
their threat to leave the State if the
bill became law. Among the members
OF the House there is a considera BILE
majority that feels the insurance COM
panies are given too free a hand in
rate regulation.
Under the Shackleford bill the sys-
tenn OF rating now in vogue would still
obtain. The only change suggested Ia
that the insured be given an oppor-
tunity to appeal from arbitrary or un-
iSt rates. The Insurance Commissioner
must pass on these. If his decision Is
not acceptable TO the Insurance COM
ranies. under the provisions OF the bill.
