BOYS IN THE TRENCHES
BUY WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

In a recent issue of the Wichita
Beacon there appeared an article re-
garding boy in the trenches in
France sending several hundred dol
lars to the U. S. to be invested in
War Savings Stamps. The boy is a
cousin of Gus Grimsley Of Liberal.
This should be lesson to people
here. The boy, although doing ev-
erything that one can do for his
country, feels that he owes still more,
and is willing and anxious to put his
money into securities of the govern
ment and to help further to win the
war.
This will hardly appeal to some Of
the purse tight slackers who merely
give enough to keep public sentiment
from making them outcasts. They
are too small to realize the signifi-
canoe of an action so noble and their
shriveled brains cannot conceive the
thought that would cause them to
loosen up, and do their duty.

HOLLAND WINGS
A PRO-GERMAN
Unpatriotic Remarks Lead to Shoot
ing North of Liberal
Last Week.

AS result of hard feelings over
remarks made during the War Stamp
drive, Elmer Oldham, an elderly man,
who has been working on the @. P.
Holland farm, is in local hospital
with bullet wound in the groin.
Q. P. Holland, a we'll known farm
er north of town, did the shooting,
and although he surrendered himself
to the officers, no arrests have been
made.
Oldham worked on the Holland
ranch last season and came back in
February to again go to work. When
the W. S. S. drive was on Mr.. Hol-
land solicited the men on the farm
to buy, but Oldham would not take
any. He seemed to be opposed, not
only to buying any himself, but made
numerous remarks and tried to in
fiuence the other hands against buye
ing. He repeatedly made the state
ment that the stamps were no good,
that they would never get their money
back and were fools to buy. He said
ne would keep his money in his pock-
ct.
At the time of the drive he was re-
ported as probably disloyal, and later
Mr.. Holland informed the officers,
County Attorney Light and Sheriff
Dobson making trip to the farm to
see him. He agreed to buy some
stamps and it was thought the matter
was settled.
However, Oldham was sore over
being turned in and made the threat
that he would kill the man who did
it, at the same time suspecting Hol-
land of doing it.
He was nursing a crouch and a
week ago Saturday morning he did
not come in to breakfast. Mr.. Hol-
land went out and asked him to come
in and eat, but he refused. He was
then asked if he had fed the team and
he replied that he had not. Holland
told him that he could go without
breakfast if he wished, but that the
team must be fed, whereupon he few
into a passion and with threat to kill
him rushed at Holland. Holland had
heard Of his threats and was armed.
He drew his revolver and ordered the
man to stand off, but he kept coming,
so he took a shot at him with the re-
suit above stated.
Holland then brought him to
town., turned him over to the sheriff,
and offered himself for arrest. NThe
officers took no action against Hol-
land and the general feeling is that
he did no more than would be expect
ed of anyone.
The time when man can make re-
marks like these and get away with
them is gone, with the boys dying by
the hundreds on the battle fields of
France, it is mighty poor policy to
talk that way. Holland has brother
in the service and has been booster
for every war proposition that has
come up. The people of the town
and country should stand together
against such propaganda, and give
! their moral support to all who take
positive stand against it.

Variety Store on North Kansas ave-
nue., have purchased the stock of the
Leader on East Second Street and
will move it to their store.
They are arranging the stock and
aslittle later will put on special sale,

LIBERAL BOY KILLED
IN ACTION IN FRANCE

Chas. Maxwell is the first of our
home boys to give his life in action
fighting for his country in the pres
ent war. He went into training in
November and has been in France
since spring.
He was a young man about %
years of age, and had been employed
by Floyd Heaton on the ranch for
about eight months previous to en-
tering army service. Mr.. Heaton
found him to be an honest, industri-
GUS lad and he and his family had a
high regard for the boy. The Hea-
ton family have received several let
ters from the young man since begin
ming his army life.
If Mr.. Maxwell has any relatives
it is not known by any one here and
Mr.. Heaton's name was given by him
to be notified in case Of accident or
death. Mr.. Heaton received the
message Sunday that Charles had
been killed, but no particulars were
given.

CREAMERY STOCKHOLDERS
MET SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Large Attendance and Much Enthu.
siasm Characterized
Meeting.

The special meeting of the stock
holders Of the Liberal Equity Coop
erative Creamery and Produce Com
pany was held at the Court House
in Liberal Saturday afternoon. There
was good attendance and the men,
bers seemed to be pleased with the
showing made in the short time they
have owned the business.
The principal object of the meet
ing was to act on the matter Of the
issuance of preferred stock. This
matter was threshed out and settled
at a previous meeting, but owing to
a trivial defect in the proceedings it
rwas necessary to call another meet
ling. The action of the first meeting
was unanimously endorsed by the
members, and it is likely that the
preferred stock will be on the market
Mt an early date.
The Democrat is anxious to see
this stock sold and the proceeds used.
When one sees the business coming
to the creamery and the great need
for more room and more facilities,
it seems a shame that it can not be
provided. When the great truck
loads of cream come in from the
routes the receiving room is jammed
and there is scarcely room for the
men to get around and handle it.
More room would effect a saving as
it would be easier to handle the busi-
ness.
It is remarkable that the business
is so efficiently handled with the con-
gested condition of the building, and
it is to the credit Of the management
and the employees that they take care
of the customers promptly. How
ever, this cannot always be. The
business keeps increasing, and there
must come time when the growth
of the institution must stop unless
more room and equipment is pro-
vided.
When the preferred stock is placed
on the market there should be a ready
response on the part Of the people,
not only because it is to be used as
a means Of increasing a worthy busi-
ness institution, but because it repre-
sents an investment that is growing
in value every day.

HAYNE CHURCH
DEDICATED SUN.
1t Was a Big Day for the People of
Hayne and Vicinity.

Last Sunday will be day long re-
membered by the people Of Hayne
and vicinity, that being the occasion
of the dedication of the Christian
church at that place.
Although the day was hot and
windy great crowd was in attend
ance, and the day one of pleasure.
A large number from Liberal were
among the visitors.
The ceremonies of the day began
at $3.50 a. M, when the bible school
was opened. A feature of this service
was the address by Elder Geo. L.
Snively.
The Dedicatory Service started at
1880 the feature of which was a
special musical number by the male
quartet composed of Messrs. Davis,
Pennington, Erlewine and Condit,
and the sermon, "The Fundamentals
of Our Faith" by Elder Geo. L. Snive-
ly. Elder Snively dedicated the
Christian church here and was not a
stranger among us, having made
many warm friends during his pre-
vious visit
At 3 o'clock Union Memorial
service was held. King Collier sang
"Ninety and Nine", Elder Umphres
made short talk, A. T. Hillyard sang
"God Shall Wipe Away All Tears"
This was followed by memorial ad.
dresses by Elder Jas. M. Taylor and
Mrs. Minnie j. Grinstead.
The evening service was most en-.
joyable and impressive. A mixed
quartet composed of Miss Thompson
Mrs. Jackson, Mr.. Jackson and Mr.
Locke sang "Hear Ye Him." and Mrs
Sara Salley and Mrs. w. M. Pysher
sang a duet, "Come Thou Unto Me
and Rest"
Elder Snively spoke from the sub.
ject "The Immortality Of the Sou
and Its Home" He preached force.

RAINS GETTING TO
BE COMMON HERE

This section has been visited by
several nice showers the past few
days and it seems to be the general
opinion that the crops will not now
suffer for moisture. We heard one
farmer say this morning that most of
the crops would mature without fur
ther moisture.
The hot, windy days of the first of
the week were hard on growing
things, but the rains following have
changed conditions wonderfully.

CREAMERY CONTINUES
TO CHIP CAR WEEKLY
Receipt of Raw Material Enables
Car Shipments to Continue.

The Equity Creamery continues to
ship out car of butter and eggs per
week. The supply of cream and eggs
being received is still sufficient to en-
able the company to keep up the car
lot shipments.
The fact that shipments can be
made in car lots is source of addi-
tional profit to the stockholders, and
the difference in freight on car ship
msnts and local or express rates is
well worth considering. If the mem
bership will continue to boost as in
the past few months there is no rea-
son why the shipments of car lots can
not continue indefinitely.

The members of the Christian En-
deavor Society of the Presbyterian
church drove to the G. W. Light grove
southeast of the city Tuesday where
a few hours were pleasantly spent in
games. Light refreshments were
served.
About so young people enjoyed the
event, and that speaks we'll for the
society, as it is quite difficult to keep
a good attendance during the sum-
mer months.

Harry is the kind of fellow who
believes in standing up for what he

than likely that the Third ward will
be represented in the business of

WANT WIRELESS MEN
AND IN AVIATION CORPS

Gnnner's Mate Helmer, who has been
coming to Ladysmith for the purpose
of examining men for the navy, will
not be here any more. He wrote to
Postmaster Manning that he would
remain at Wausau. All men who want
to enlist in the navy should apply to
the postmaster as before.
The navy especially wants men for
the Radio (Wireless) sections, and for
the Aviation divisions. All men who
want to get into these branches of the
service are asked to report to Mr..
Manning.
In the regular force of seamen, there
is room for 100000 men,
