JUST SUPPOSE

If one of your neighbors came to
your house and told you that his boy
was dying for want of doctor or a
nurse and that no one would help
pay for them, and he could not, what
would you do? Would you let him
go away or would you tell him to call
a doctor and a nurse and that you
would stand good for the bill?
Well, over in France your neigh
boris boy may be lying wounded and
bleeding. Will you wait to see what
someone else gives to bring him the
care and attention and to bring him
back to health and usefulness?
We don't believe you will!
We believe that you will take an
inventory Of your resources and do
your duty.
We are not going to be Stacker
because some old rich tight-wad
thinks more of his dollars than the
lives of men. Let him hold on to
his pile and try to take it to hell with
him where he belongs. You are going
to be an American Citizen first. You
are going to do your duty. Every
one who is not please stand up!
Everybody up but the tight-wad.
Bring on the yellow paint.

BOY SCOUTS SURPRISE
SCOUTMASTER FULTON
And Presented Him With a Gold
Mounted Fountain
Pen.

The Boy Scouts pulled off a very
pleasant surprise on their Scoutmas-
ter, Prof. Ernest Futon, Monday ev-
ening at the Smith home in this city.
The Scouts had ordered several
gallons of ice cream and the mothers
had baked cakes for the occasion.
About o'clock T. ]. Smith, Jr.,
drove to the Fulton home and asked
Mr.. and Mrs. Fulton to take a car
ride. They agreed, and after short
time the car was accidently run to
the Smith home where the Scouts
and the refreshments were waiting.
This was another of the pleasant
times Prof. Fulton and the Scouts
time indeed. Scout Scribe, T. ].
have had together, and it was a good
Smith, Jr., on behalf of the three pa
trolls, presented Mr.. Fulton with a
beautiful gold mounted fountain pen
inscribed with the initials, "B. S. of
A." as a token Of their respect.
There is a genuine regret among
the Scouts at the departure of Mr..
Fulton from the city, and not only
are the Scouts sorry to see him leave.
Their parents and friends and in fact
everyone sorely regrets that he can
not remain with US.

BETTER CLEAN UP

Some time ago the city authori-
ties ordered a cleanup campaign and
a portion of the citizens of Liberal
took them at their word and put their
premises in sanitary condition-oth-
ers did not take the matter seriously.
Fly time is here. They are breed
ing by the millions right now in piles
of filth and rubbish and this is good
time to make a campaign to reduce
the number.
There are several things that
should be done. In the first place all
outside toilets should be made fly
proof, and all openings screened, not
permitting flies to have access to such
places. This has been found to be IN
effective way to get rid of flies.
The contagion through which the
city has just passed makes it impera-
tive that precautionary measures be
taken to prevent recurrence. Flies
are the worst disease carriers known
and if we can eliminate them so much
the better.
The citizens of the town should
get back of the health authorities and
see that these orders are made and
enforced. By all means close the
outhouses to flies and keep manure
and other refuse cleaned up. Refuse
piles may be treated with disinfect-
ants if necessary, and all waste mat
ter can be burned.

tie old kale he has another guess COM
ing; and if he thinks this war is not
going to be financed and fought to
the end he had better guess again.
Nothing would go harder with the
American people today than to have
conditional peace. No one wants
peace; no one wants settlement
anything less than complete sub
jugation of Kaiser Bill; nothing less
will satisfy America.
Our time, our resources, our men,
all are thrown in to win-not to set
tie but to WIN. We don't want to
scare Germany to the point of back
ing down-we want to whip Ger
many for all time to come-nothing
else will do.
In honor to the boys who have al
ready fallen on French soil we can do
nothing less. In respect to the COM
ing generation we can do nothing
less.
Germany must be so severely lick
ed that there will never be the slight
est inclination for another war.
America did not want this war, she
tried to avoid it in every way posi-
ble-but when it became necessary
to get in she got in, and she got in
right and she will stay in until every
German miitarist is wiped off the
earth, and the world will then be for
ever safe.

bills may be saved by getting rid of
the fly, the filthiest, most disgusting
thing in the world except the kaiser,
and they are the best friends.
This paper will stand back of the
county board of health in campaign
of this kind, and we believe it would
be a good idea to have some citizen
in every block to report the places
which need cleaning up. The names
of these need not be made public if
they so desire, but they could report
to the board conditions in their
neighborhood.
If there are citizens of the town
who would like to write anything
along that line we shall be glad to
publish their letters.
Let's get busy.
