MARRIED AT HUTCHINSON

Announcements Of the marriage Of
Miss Zola Lantz to Prof. Abraham
Ewell Janzen, Of Hillsboro, Kansas,
have been received this week. The
wedding took place in Hutchinson,
Monday, December "a, at the Baptist
church. Only immediate friends were
in attendance.
Miss Lantz was employed at the
Liberal creamery for two years, hav-
ing been away few months during
that time while attending school at
Hutchinson. She will be greatly
missed by organizations of the Bap-
tist church, having been an earnest
worker in all the departments. Miss
Lantz has many friends her who will
regret to have her leave but will re-
joice with the city of Hillsboro in hav-
ing her as a citizen.
The Democrat joins with her many
friends in wishing her and Professor
Janzen a life of happiness.

HUTCHINSON PIANO TUNER
MOVES TO THIS PLACE
George w. Feidler Locates in Liberal
Permanently.

George w. Feidler, the piano tuner,

Liberal to make this his permanent
homc
He will work the territory sur
rounding the town and west on the

nice business in Hutchinson, said Mr..
Fielder to the Democrat, "but, after
careful study of the situation, l
can not help thinking that Liberal
offers better opportunity for per-
manent location"
A daughter has accepted position
with the Taylor Drug & Music Co.
The Democrat is pleased to well
come Mr.. Fielder and family to Lib
eral and extends the wish that their
fondest expectations may be realized.

SHIPMENT WAS MORE THAN
TWO MONTHS ON THE WAY

The Equity Exchange received a
car of oil cake, the first of the week,
that has been ordered since October.
Two cars ordered the 18th of Novem-
Der have not as yet been shipped. This
will give the people an idea of how
prompt shipments are being made.
Manager Lydick says that he does not
anticipate any shortage of either coal
or flour. Conditions are getting bet
ter in those lines. The only danger
he sees of a shortage is that people
will try to buy for future needs, and
this has been taken care Of to a great
extent through government super
vision of distribution. A resident of
town or city may buy but one sack
of flour, while persons living in the
country may buy two. By dividing up
each shipment as it arrives, everyone
will be taken care of, according to
Mr.. Lydick.

REPUBLICAN CoNGRESSMEN
RESIGN TO ENTER THE ARMY
Too Many Leaving the House to Per-
nit Their Party To Grab the
Leadership.

Washington, Dec. 28.-Too many
Republican congressman are joining
the army to permit their party to
grasp control of the House of Repre-
sentatives. Leaders tonight scoffed at
reports to the effect that they might
try to spring coup and take control
out Of Democratic hands.
The Democrats at the beginning Of
the session this month had 216 votes
to 212 for the Republicans. Fitzger-
aid of Brooklyn has resigned, Bruck-
ner and Griffin of New York will re-
sign, and Hurlbert of New York is ex-
pected to leave. With the death of
Representative Bathrick of Ohio, the
Democratic total will be cut to 211.
Republicans La Guardia, New
York; Heintz, Ohio, and Johnson of
South Dakota have entered the army,
cutting their party's representation to
209. Further, Capstick of New Jersey
is sick and Minority Leader Mann is
in Baltimore hospital, reducing the
party total to 2O7. The Democrats,
therefore will retain a margin in the
present session unless the eigth inde-
pendent votes swing things to the
Republicans.

THE c. K. & o. RAILROAD
HAS BEEN SOLD FOR JUNK
Speculation as to Whether Track Will
Actually Be Torn Up.

1t begins to look as though the
north and south railroad through this
section has again vanished into air,
Way down among the locals in the
Garden City Herald, apeared a little
paragraph announcing that the c. X
& o., the road which was to have been
extended to Forgan, via Liberal, had
been sold for junk and would likely
be torn up.
This may mean the end of the pres
ent project and it may not. If the
road is torn up-the end has come
However, it may be that this is but a
move for other interested parties to
get hold of the stretch of track at a
good price and that the road will yet
be built.
Even should this not be the case
the Democrat is not going to give up
hope of another railroad. When the
war is over, if not before, there is
going to be another railroad in this
part of the country; and it is going
to run throug Liberal, and thus make
Liberal the big town of the South
west

MILLMAN "RENIGCED"
HIS DEMOCRAT JOB

Ray Millman, who for the past sew.
eral months has been with the Demo
crat in an editorial capacity, handed
in his resignation, Saturday, and has
accepted a position with the Equity
Creamery.
The Democrat hated to see Ray
leave; but we do not blame him, as
we know he has a much pleasanter
position. He can be out in the great
out-of-doors, which is worth all the
doctors and medicine in the world
to make man feel like living. And
in this age when one has to fret with
linotype machines, and other ma
chimes, the life is certainly strenuous.
We wish Ray we'll in his new voca-
ton. He is one of the best fellows on
earth and deserves all kinds of sue
cess.

JACKSON SELLS
PRESSING SHOP
Sons of James Taylor
Buy Lincoln Ave.
Business
EXPERT CLEANERS
Having Conducted a Like Business
at Scott City Before Coming
to This Place.

The Jackson Cleaning and Pressing
works on Lincoln avenue, north,
changed hands Monday morning, the
new owners being James and Carl
Taylor, sons of James M. Taylor, pas
tor of the Christian church.
The business was originally owend
by E. D. Freeman, who sold it to Mr..
Jackson. After the sale, Mr. Freeman
remained with the business and, with
the present change, takes position
as manager of the business. His ex-
perience is a guarantee that the work
of the shop will be of the same sat
isfactory variety that has always
come from this shop.
The Taylor brothers. too, are ex-
perienced in this line Of work, having
been engaged in the business at Scott
City, selling out to accompany their
parents to Liberal.
Both Mr.. Freeman and the Taylor
brothers are well known here, so need
no introduction to the people Of Lib.
eral and surrounding country.
They will appreciate the patronage
of all former patrons of the shop and
all others who need work in their line

TRAINS ARE STILL RUNNING
LATE DESPITE GOVERNMENT

Government supervision Of rail-
roads has had nothing to do with i'm
proving the running of trains. There
may have been those who imagined
that President Wilson would wave
some kind of magic wand and that
every train would rush into town alb
solutely on time. Nothing to it. No. l
still manages to beat the darkness to
Liberal by hairs breadth and we
shall feel lucky il it continues to do
that we'll. Railroading nowadays is a
great deal like everything else. II
takes men and coal, and there seems
to be a shortage of both.

THE INCOME TAX
AGENT IS HERE
Will Help the People to
Make Out Their
Statements
BETTER SEE HIM
A Heavy Penalty for Income Tax
Slackers - Not Wisdom to
Take a Chance

Don Henry, former Liberal boy,
has been sent here to assist persons
in making out their income tax state
ments.
Mr.. Henry arrived the first of the
week and has his office with the Cham
ber of Commerce in the Office of the
Liberal Light, Ice & Power Co.
He will be glad to assist anyone
needing his services in preparing their
returns. His territory is Seward and
Beaver Counties.
He will be in Liberal from January
2 until January IL, and at the follow
ing towns on the dates given
Forgan-January 13 to II.
Beaver-January 18 to 20.
Gray-January 81.
LaKemp-January %.
Mr.. Henry was caller at the Dem
ocrat office soon after his arrival ir
the city. He gives the information
that while in. Liberal he will assis
persons from anywhere in his terri
tory in making out statements or Civ
ing any information desired.
If there is any chance that you will
have to pay a tax, it would be well to
see Mr.. Henry during his stay here.
We gather from the press that income
tax slackers will be dealt with even
more severely than army slackers, so
it might be a whole lot cheaper to
pay a small tax than big fine.

CONDITION OF CROPS
IN SEWARD COUNTY

We have asked several as to the
condition of the wheat in this section,
but it seems that it is hard to deter
mine. Most of our information, so
far, is that the wheat that is up is
holding its own in fairly good shape.
We asked Manager Lydick, of the
Equity Exchange, his opinion and he
said that he was good deal like John
Boles. Quoting Mr.. Boles, he said
"this country can go further and then
come back than any country on
earth. So it seems that it is too early
to forecast the coming crop. We feel
sure that little moisture right now
would help, but may be able to get
along quite a while yet without a
failure.

Pearl seems we'll satisfied with

parents not to worry about him as
he says he twill come out all right.

to return and again take up their resi-
dence among US.

LIMIT FLOUR ORDERS TO
PREVENT FOOD BOARDING

Strangers will have a hard time
buying bour of local grocers after
Monday morning, when the newest
restriction order from the food ad
ministration goes int oegect. Waite,
P. Innes, food administrator for Kan
sas, has receive dan order from Wash
ington, requesting him to notify all
grocers an ddealers in -four that here.
after sales must be limited to con-
sumers.
Under the new ruling, city consum-
ers will be limited to sacks containing
twenty-four to forty-eight pounds of
flour. Persons living in the country
will not be permitted to buy more
than from forty-eight to ninety-six
pounds at any one time.
The order issued by Mr.. 1nnes re-
quests grocers not to sell to strangers
who order -four only, but to advise
them to go to their regular grccers.
When stranger enters a store and
orders numerous articles, however,
and includes -four as one item, the
grocer may fill the order, but strang-
ers who order nothing else are evil
IDENTIFY buying it for boarding, accord
ing to Mr.. Innes.
Local grocers had not received or
ders regarding the limitation of -four
sales yesterday afternoon, but are ex-
pecting them at once, as they know
that such an order has been issued
from Washington.

SPECIAL SESSION IN BALANCE
Members of Kansas Legislature Are
Divided on the Question.

DIVIDED on the question.
Topeka, Dec. 27.-The members Of
the Kansas legislature are divided or
the question Of a special session. The
governor has received replies from
more than half the members of the
house and senate to his letter asking
for opinions on the special session
There is no great division on the mat
ter of prohibition. The members near
ly all say they think it would not be
worth while to call a special session
Just to ratify the prohibition amend
ment to the United States constitu-
ton. But good many members say
that they realize the Importance of
home defense, the need of additional
appropriations for the state institu-
tions on account of war prices, and
that the Kansas boys in the army and
navy should be allowed to vote in the
primary. Nearly all express willing
ness to come to Topeka to look after
the propositions, and few more than
one-half of those writing say they
think the legislature should be called
together for the purposes.
The most serious objection offered
is that some members who failed to
get pet measures through in the reg
ular session would try to get the bills
in on a special session as a war or
emergency measure of some kind, and
thus delay the transaction of the
really important business and clutter
ND the session laws with measures
which could and should wait until
the regular session.

NEW WILLARD
MANAGER HERE
c. A. Henderson of
Great Bend Now
in Charge
A BATTERY EXPERT
OF Many Years Experience = Will
Handle Willard Batteries for
Trindle Supply Co.

: \C. "A Henderson of Great Bend is
HJw man with the Trindle Supply
W Npany, having charge of the Will
,srd Battery Service station. Mr.. Hen
derson has only recently entered upon
; mis- duties here and has not yet moved
his family to the town. He expects to,
however, at an early date.
Mr.. Henderson is known as one of
the best battery men in the Southwest
and his coming will be distinct ad-
vantage to the many patrons of the
Willard station here.
The local Willard station has grown
from small beginning to one Of the
largest in the country. Mr.. Trindle,
manager of the business, believes in
having the very best men that can be
secured in charge of this branch. He
has had an uphill time keeping men,
as there is such strong demand from
the government for workmen in this
line khat good men are attracted to
the service, and he has had to part
with some mighty good fellows.
Mr.. Henderson, being man with a
family, will likely be ablbe to remain
with the firm. He says that several
times he has felt the call, but has con-
cluded that there is place at home
for men as well as in the service, and
that until the demand is pressing he
will remain in the field and do his
bit at home.
The Democrat welcomes Mr.. Hen.
derson and family to the town and
l,congratulates Mr.. Trindle upon being
Nbeing ablbe to secure his services.

CHAMBERLAIN & WALL
SHOP TO MOVE SOON

Workmen are putting the finishing
touches to the new rooms to be used
by the Chamberlain & Wall barber
shop, in the basement Of the Citizens
State bank building. The rooms have
been entirely re-fnished, new win
dows put in, and the place is going
to make swell location for the shop.
Two spacious bath rooms will mean
an added accommodation to the many
patrons Of the shop.
They had hoped to be able to move
by the first of the year, but the work
could not be finished by that time.
Just how soon the workmen will finish
their work Is not known, but it is not
going to be many days.

Most of the business houses have
been busy this week taking their an
nual inventories. This is job that all
dread, but most of the firms make a
practice of getting it out of the way
iust as soon as possible after the
wind-up of the years business.
Some of the merchants are minus
n strained look since the event, which
heads us to believe that they have
come out better than they had antici-
pated.
The past year haSbeen hard one
on business, as well as everything
else, and one is lucky if he holds
his own.
