w. C. C. N. D. PUBLICITY =
BUREAU Z

In making my debut in this depart
ment of the Council of National De-
Tense, give me your ears and your
Thought for little while.
The last meeting, January A, was
not so well attended as the merit of
our cause would warrant and our
regular meeting is the first Friday
evening of the month at the Woman's
club house.
1t is with much regret that Mrs.
O. M. Woods, county chairman, is
compelled to remain at home from
the war conference in Topeka on ac-
count of severe illness in her family.
We regret she can not attend. Among
the number who were to attend this
t conference is also Judge V. H. Grin
stead.
A bulletin board containing the
names and addresses Of our soldier
boys from Seward county will soon
be places in the post Office, the gift Of
the county chairman.
Our city council should proclaim
meatless and wheatless days and put
Liberal on the map as being patriotic.
Let's get in line with the nation.
The W. C. T. U. Of Liberal is rails
ing money to pay for the keep Of a
French war orphan and put on
classy evening at the Christian
church, January 16, with Miss Hazel
Frost as reader and Mrs. Salley and
Miss Matkin giving musical NUMBERS.
The American God-mothers League
is another organization of splendid
women that agrees to send a package
each month to one soldier in France
whom she adopts as her own. A great
organization to help to keep the NOR
ale Of the army at high standard.
Very soon, we shall have no more
white -four, but war -four, just as nu-
tritious but not so white.
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1918-01-24
BUT WE SHOULD NOT FORGET
"OUR TOWN"

More and more we are beginning to
realize that business must take a
back seat during the period for which
the war will last. However, it is not
wise policy to let things go entirely
to pieces. We must make an effort to
hold our place in the commercial
world. There will always be GER
tain volume Of business, and it would
be good policy to get as much Of what
there is as possible.
No one expects Liberal to make the
growth she has in recent years, but
there are still opportunities for the
town to grow.
Other live towns are not giving up
their fight Cor supremacy and if we
stop boosting during the war they
will have an advantage. Taken alto
gether, Liberal is holding up better
than most towns her size and if we
will continue to do little boosting
while swatting the kaiser we will not
have so far to 60 when the war is
QUAR-

living costs, and in some instances
prices placed on their goods, the av-
erage business man is having hard
row to hoe. We would favor the plan
if we were actuated by selfish mo-
tives, namely, the securing of lot of
good advertising; but, frankly, we
think it is an injustice to ask this Of
the business man, especially the re-
taller. If part of the burden were
passed along to the manufacturer
and the jobber, it would not be so
bad; and, in fact, any plain, ordinary
citizen has as much right to pay as the
retail merchant. We think that if the
government wants to advertise Lib
erty Bonds the advertising should be
sent direct and be paid for by appro-
priation Of congress and thus let
everyone pay share of the expense.
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1918-01-24

Through the kindnes of Mrs. o. M.
Woods, women may still register for
patriotic conservation.
We are looking to community
sing under the supervision of the w.
C. C. N. D. that will make the 'wel-
kin ring. When we sing together,
we catch the spirit Of the day and
work together. Let us get ready for
this "sing".
Women are taking mems places
since the war. In Harrington, Kan
sas, they are wiping engines; in Kan
sas City, Missouri, they are running
elevators, and in st. Louis, they are
running street cars. If the war does
not close, it will be woman's world
and mighty lonesome at that. The
farmer will be more and more COM
PEELED to ask the help of women to
plant and harvest his crops.
If saving will win the war, let
every woman be patriot. I heard
DR.. Shaw, chairman Of the National
Council Of Defense, speak, recently,
on patriotism and let us save and
serve until autocracy is routed and
democracy assured for the world.

SOME PAPERS KNOCK GOVERN.
MENT OWNERSHIP

We noticed last week that several
papers coming to our desk had al
ready unsheathed their hammers and
were knocking government owner
ship of railroads. They are Of the
blind partisan class that made the
fight for the railroad interests when
! government ownership was an issue
many years ago. -~,.
These papers, many Of which pose
as friends of the people, used the be-
lated train service as blind through
! which to attack government owner
ship of the roads. The fact that the
storm, which caused complete tie
up, was responsible, together with
the unusually heavy traffic in soldiers
and supplies, had no place in their
criticism. Some of the larger dailies,

roads, but. a lot of newspapers must
cater to the capitalistic class which

Treasury officials are at work on a
plan for advertising the next Liberty
Loan which is unique, to say the
least. The plan involves the use Of
advertising in the daily and weekly
press, to be paid for by the business
men of the cities and towns. Copy
for advertising is to be supplied in
plates and the plan is to inaugurate
a regular advertising campaign in
charge of advertising experts. But
why the business men are asked to
finance the deal is little difficult for
us to understand. With limit placed
on the amount they are allowed to
sell, the extra expenses they have to
pay on account of the war, higher
wages for clerks on account Of higher
