BATY'S CANDIDACY GAINS
STRENGTH IN CLOSING WEEKS
Candidate for Representative De
pends, on Friends to Make
Campaign.

D. X. Baty, candidate for Repre-
sentative on the Republican ticket,
was a Liberal visitor Tuesday.
Asked as to how his candidacy was
progressing he replied that he had de-
voted but little time to making a
campaign so far. The work Of har-
vesting the wheat crop and getting
another crop in the ground has kept
Mr.. Baty pretty close to the ranch
but he said that he considered the
matter of raising wheat more i'm
portant at this time than campaign
ing, and that while he expected to get
out a little before the primary, he
would have to depend largely on his
friends to look after his candidacy.
However, we are of the opinion
that those friends are doing nobly
and that he will not suffer for assis-
tance.
While it is not for US to say, and
we may be presumptous in expressing
the thought, we cannot help but think
that the Republicans will do wise
thing in nominating Mr.. Baty for
Representative. Insofar as we can
see he represents everything for
which that party stands, and the fact
that he came so near to victory two
years ago, would certainly make him
the logical candidate this year, and
the members of that party really owe
him another opportunity when condi.
tions are more favorable.
Baty is substantial, is thinker
and has the backing of some mighty
good people, and with the acquain'
tance gained through the campaign
two years ago, should receive the
nomination by good majority.

A Wonderful Memory
Has Brakeman ThrOOp
Gave Exhibition Here Through Cour-
tesy of Railroad
Men.

Many Liberal people have beer
reading in the dailies of the wonder.
full feats of memory performed by
L. B. Throop, formerly a railroad
brakeman of Ell Reno, Oklahoma, and
quite a crowd assembled in front OF
the FIRST National Bank here Friday
evening, when it was learned that
Mr.. Throop would give an exhibition
of his talent.
He was passing through Liberia
and made the acquaintance of T. S
Lane and j. A. Murdock, employees
on the Rock Island. The boys hav.
ing become interested in him pre-.
vailed upon him to stop off and give
the exhibition here, raising money
among the railroad men to pay his
expenses while here.
Throop is a wonder and no mistake
He did things with figures that would
seem no human being could do, but
it seemed easy to him.
During the day in company with
E. S. Irwin, postmaster, o. E. Dobson
sheriff, c. L. Light, county attorney
and Ray Millman, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, Mr.. ThrooI
visited the railroad yards, taking the
numbers of several strings of box
cars, engine numbers, seal numbers
etc. Then they went to the court
house where figures were obtained
from the tax rolls, and to the post.
office, where figures were taken
Different business places were visited
and numbers of cash registers, ad.
ding machines, watches, etc., were
taken. The committee kept list OF
the numbers while Mr.. Throop simply
stored them in his memory. A num-
ber of bills were secured at different
stores, were read by Mr.. Throop and
placed in the hands of the committee
In giving the exhibition Mr.. Throor
took two strings of cars, reading the
numbers from memory, together with
the initial of the car, whether it was
a box, tank, refrigerator or stocl
car. He read one list from bottom to
top, the other from top to bottom
then switched skipping two cars on
one list and two on the other, then
going back and telling how many he
had skipped and their number and
initial. The lists were held by two
different parties so there could be nc
chance Of a mixup on the numbers
He gave the correct figures on all
the items during the day, remember
ing where he had secured them, what
they belonged to and how many items
were taken.
1t was one of the most amazing
exhibitions ever seen here or any
where else, and those who were for
tunate enough to witness it consider
themselves under obligations to the
Rock Island boys who made it pos
sible.
Throop claims the championship
of the world for memory. He holds
the medal given at the Panama Pa
cific Exposition, having given from
memory the exhibit numbers of 500
exhibits at the exhibition. He has
accepted a challenge from lady in
Scotland and arrangements are now
being made for a match.
He has given exhibitions before
the largest colleges and educational
societies and there is little likelihood
but what he will make good in his
competition with the lady from
Scotland,

National Guard
Company Is Full
los Enlistments Complete the Mum.
Der Necessary to Muster
in Organization.

Liberal is now assured. 105 men
have signed the roll and it is hoped
that the company will be mustered
in at an early date.
The company has leased the Craig
Hall which will henceforth be known
as the Armory, and the building will
be used exclusively by the National
Guard Company.
Provisional officers of the COM
pany are A. P. Sanford, captain; A.
T. Hillyard. first lieutenant.
To H. C. Fleak is due principally
the honor of having National Guard
company in Liberal. While there
were many who desired it, Fleak went
to work and put it across, and in do
ing so he worked tirelessly. One un-
acquainted with the work could
scarcely realized the effort required,
and we must commend Mr.. Fleak for
staying with it.
Last Saturday Mr.. Fleak, Mr.. San
ford and Mr.. Hillyard went to Kismet
and secured 1S men for the company.
David R. Green, of Kismet, was ap-
pointed sergeant and will drill a
squad there on Thursday nights.
The letter designating the Liberal
Company has not been settled but as
this well likely the the third company
in the state to be mustered in it will
more than likely be Company c.
In the history of Kansas this is the
first time, we are told, that a COM
pany of National Guards has been
organized west of Hutchinson.
Just when the uniforms and equip
ment will be received is not known,
but it will not be great while.
There is some talk of making a
holiday the day the company is mus
tered in and The Democrat is of the
opinion that this would be a good
idea.
Friday night has been designated
as drill night and drilling in the ar
mory will soon begin.
The members of the company are
as follows:
Augerot, Albert.

THE TRAIN THAT SAVED
A NATION
How the Red Cross Helped
Roumania.

Have you heard of what happened
in Roumania when that stricken nation
stood in rags and starving before the
shocked eyes of the world2 We had
thought ourselves grown used to trag-
edies until this greater horror struck
u blow that reused still untouched
sympathies.
And yet we felt so helpless, you and
l, SO terribly weak in our ability to Of
fer aid But were we? After all,
we're we not the very ones who car
ried new life and hope to the heart of
Roumania? You shall be your own
judge.
Fighting with the desperation Of de
spair. the shattered Roumanian army
still struggled to beat off the Kaiser's
bloody Huns who were mercllessly
trampiing the life out of the little
Kingdom. And the Kaiser smiled bru-
tally as he saw his wolves at work
and knew that from behind the lines,
attacking the fighting men of Rounia-
MIA from the rear entering the homes
where mothers clung to the Frail, dis
torted forms of their babies-was star

No country around Roumania could
help her-and America was too far
away Thousands would die before
supplies held in our own country could
be sent her.
Hope was gone. Death by hunger
and by the dripping sword OF the Kali

REMEDY FOR PLANT

Turnips, mustard and radishes
grown in Louisiana during the fall
months are often severely injured by
small, light green, scft-bodied.
sucking insect--an aphid, or plant
louse-that@ is found principally on
the underside Of the leaves.
These aphids may be kept under
control by spraying with a mixture
of one teaspoonful of nicotine sui
phate and an inch cube of laundry
soap in gallon of water, the soap
being first dissolved in a portion of
the water. A spray pump that will
force the liquid out of the nozzle as a
fine spray or mist must be used, and
the aphids must be wet with the
spray in order to kill them. The noz-
zle should be so attached to the spray
rod as to form right angle at that
point. With this device the spray
can be better applied to the under
surface of the leaves. Begin spray
ing when the aphids first attack the
plants.
To facilitate spraying the seed
should be planted in drills or rows
not broadcast. 1t is also much easier
to reach the aphfds on plants having
smooth leaves.-Department of Ento-

In 1913 little Marie was born in VII

In i3l4 Mkries father, called to the

and her mother stayed in the village,
which was now In the Germans hands.
In 1915 a poster was pasted up on
the door of the village church, and
that night Marie's mother vanished,
along with a score or more Of other
women.
In 1916 Marie was still living in that
village-existing through the charity
of the few elderly folk the Germans
permitted to stay.
In 1917 Marie, with all the children
under fourteen years and all the old
people left alive in the village, yeas
bundled into crowded car and
shipped into Germany, round through
Switzerland and thence into France,
arriving at Eyian. She was uITderfed.

POTATO CURING
PLANT

The sweet potato curing plant
for our town is certainty and
all those interested in the success
of the undertaking should plant
sweet potatoes. The plant will
take care of 10000 bushels and
may hold 10000 bushels. This
meane 10 to u cars OF sweet pot
atoes a year. AS many cars of
Irish potatoes can be handled
but it will be tolate for the spuds
this year.
Potatoes are generally sold at
very low price during the new
crop influx due to the difficulty
of keeping them sound and free
from rot. This, kiln will remove
this native disadvantage and cure
the potato for better commercial
advantages. a kiln dried potato
is safe to ship to France. II is as
for seed the folloT ing spring.
The Glenmora Potato Co. Inc.
will be incorporated by E p
Ferguson, f. G. Chatelain Cash
Ter of the Glenmora Bank, and
another gentleman or two. This
concern will purchase potatoes
from any farmer, furnish free of
charge, hampers administrations
about digging methods; sweet
potatoes of the yam varities will
be preferred for purchase.
We look on this enterprise as
being very desirable undertake
ing and one which will cause the
increase of a limited crop and at
the same time slim ulate food
production and conservation.
Potatoes can be planted and
grown until the latter part of
July.
