WILL CONTINUE THE
QUARANTINE A WEEK
No Abatement of the Disease and
Schools Will Not Be Allowed
to Open.

The "fu" quarantine is again ex-
tended another week, and the schools
will remain closed for that period at
least.
DR.. George S. Smith, county health
officer, explains to the Democrat one
of the reasons the school must remain
closed. He says there are so many
persons afflicted with the disease that
even though there should be no dan
ger of further spread, it would Grip
pie the work of the school because
there are so many of the scholars who
could not attend. This would not
only break into the work of the schol-
ars, but would demoralize the work of
the schools.
1t is doubtful if the quarantine will
be lifted after next week. The dis
ease continues to spread and whole
families are afflicted. Really the
spread is assuming a more serious as
pect than at this time last week. 1t
may be that weather conditions are in
measure responsible, but everyone
should exercise great caution, not
only that they do not take the disease,
but that it shall not be communicated
to others if they are afflicted.
Attention is called to an article in
this issue, published at the request of
the County Health Board. Read it
and follow the instructions laid down
therein.

BRUCE CREEK LEAVES
SOUTHWESTERN HDW. co.
Disposed of Interest in Business
to Mrs. DIR. St. Aubyrn.-R. A.
Evans Will be Manager

A business deal of Importance was
consummated the last of the week
when Bruce Greek disposed of his
interest in the Southwestern Hard
ware Company, and retired from the
firm.
The Southwestern is one of the
really large business institutions of
Southwestern Kansas. The store was
started by B. E. Blake & Son many
years ago, and at one time occupied
a room on Kansas Avenue near where
the Miller building now stands. The
Blake's built the building now occu-
pied by the store when it looked like
it was going to the country. Grad
ually as the town grew, the store be
came more centrally located, until
today it is part of the main business
section of the city.
And as the town and country
grew the business of the firm grew.
The building was enlarged time and
time again, until it attained its pres
ent size and now at times it is a ques-
tion of floor space for expansion.
Most of this time Bruce Greek has
been with the firm. He has grown up
with the business and made a small
army of friends who regret that he
has seen fit to retire from the firm.
The store will now be under the
management of R. A. Evans. Bob"
has been with the business long
enough to know all the ins and outs
and will no doubt keep everything
going pretty much as it has been. He
is heavy stockholder in the business
and has plenty of experience in the
business.
Mr.. Creek and family will spend a
week at Cherokee, Oklahoma, after
which they will return to Liberal.
Bruce says he has no intention of
leaving, and will find something to
do to while away the time. He came
to this country with his father when
he was a small lad and says it is plen-
ty good enough for him now. We
are glad that he will remain with US

j. S. MARSHALL COMES
AFTER PRO-GERMAN OLDHAM
Visit of Secret Service Man Results
in Arrest of Disloyal Citizen

The final chapter was written in
the Oldham case this week, when
United States Marshal o. T. Wood
came down from Topeka and took
back with him Elmer Oldham, who
will have to answer to a disloyalty
charge.
Oldham tried to influence the
hands on the Holland ranch against
buying War Saving Stamps, and
made statements that branded him
disloyal. He was tried before the
local Council of Defense who re-
ported to the Department of JUS
tice that he was disloyal Then a
Secret Service operative came and
went over the situation and he, too,
found the evidence convincing.
Oldham is the man whom Q. p.
Holland shot some time ago when
Oldham, with threat to kill him,
charged him. The shooting has caus-
ed a great deal of comment and there
were those who seemed to think it
was trumped up affair. The fact
that he has been arrested by Federal
authorities, after thorough investi-
cation, should leave no doubt in the
mind of anyone as to his pro-Ger-
manism.
He no doubt has few friends who
regret to see him leave, but for these
we have no sympathy-they should
have gone with him.
