Every Citizen Expected to Attend
Meeting in their School
District.

In every school district in the
country the people will gather next
Friday night to buy War Savings
Stamps. The notification says,
"you are notified to attend" There
is no request, or hope you will be
present, but notice to be there, and
most people will be wise enough to
be on hand.
In the city of Liberal meetings will
not be held at the school buildings
because Of the buildings not being
lighted, However, each ward will
have meeting. The meeting place
of the first ward will be at the Bap-
tist church, the second ward at the
M. E. church, and the third ward at
the court house.
Be at one Of these meetings pre-
pared to do all you can in the purch-
ase Of War Savings Stamps. The
government must have the money to
carry on the war, and Seward county
which has done so nobly in every 9TH
er way, is behind on War Savings
Stamps.

ORGANIZING COMPANY TO
MANUFACTURE SLICER
Wichita Men Are Here Assisting In
Organization of the
Company.

w. j. Cantillon and D. u. Ruckel
of Wichita are in the city this week
assisting in the organization of a
company to manufacture the vege-
table slicer invented by w. M. Py-
sher.
The company will be known as the
Liberty Manufacturing Co., and will
be capitalized for $4,000.
The story of the invention of Mr..
Pysher, it will be remembered, ap-
peared in this paper several weeks
ago. Several Liberal men have be-
come interested, and plans have pro-
gressed so that the actual formation
of the company is about all that re-
mains to put the invention on the
market.
Messrs. Cantillon and Ruckel will
assist in the sale of the stock and or
ganization of the company.
The work of the organization will
be pushed as rapidly as possible as
several manufacturers are negotiat-
ing for contracts for the sale Of
the invention, and the investment
should prove a paying one from the
start. ~. y ~.
There is found to be wanderful
demand for the slicers. The hotel de-
mand alone will guarantee big sale
while at the same time they should
find just as ready sale for kitchen
use. Nothing has been placed on the
market that comes anywhere near do
ing the work of this machine and it
will become in general use much
sooner than if there were competi-
tors.
We have seen the machine in op-
Grafton and are satisfied that it will
have a wonderful sale as soon as in
troduced.
The machine is a cylinder arrange
ment and will handle anything in the
line of vegetables and cold meats.
1t slices, in uniform, the contents
placed in it, and leaves nothing in the
machine after the operation is COM
pleted. For slicing potatoes, onions,
cucumbers and all vegetables there
is nothing on the market that is equal
to this and for making slaw or cut
ting cabbage the work that it does
cannot be improved upon. 1t also
slices meats, pineapples, etc., and
the slice can be reulated to any thick
ness that is desired by simple ad-
justing device that adjusts all the
cutting knives in one operation.
People have been here from the
eastern states to try to secure rights
and territories for the sale of the
machine, but up to the present time
no contracts have been made for the
handling of this machine and plac-
ing it upon the market through state
representatives or jobbers in diff
ferent localities. This machine is on
display at the Office of Pysher & Pen
ninton, in the Miller building, and
those who have not already looked
at this invention should call and ask
Mr.. Pysher for demonstration. He
will be glad to explain the working
Of the machine to anyone interested.

JOHN F. DAVIS DIED
UNDER WHEELS OF TRUCK
A Sad Accident Claimed the Life of
Liberal Man Last
Saturday.

On the eve Of his departure for a
visit to his old home in Missouri,
John F. Davis met tragic death last
Friday evening.
Mr.. Davis had arranged to leave
Liberal on No. Saturday morning
and was taking his trunk to the de-
pot to be checked when the accident
occurred.
He was sitting on the trunk in the
back end Of the dray wagon belong
ing to the Bangs Bros, and driven
by Mr.. Burnett. The. wagon turned
into the alley east of the creamery
just as R. H. Malone's oil truck came
from the east on the next street.
The wagon and truck almost met, the
wagon being a trifle in the lead. AS
Mr.. Malone saw the wagon he turned
sharply to the left to avoid striking
the wagon. At this juncture the
horses became frightened and cramp-
ed the wagon, throwing Mr.. Davis
and the trunk to the ground The
unfortunate man lit on his head
squarely in front of the wheel Of the
truck. which. passed over his head and
meek. 49,
The truck was going slowly, some
thing like or 5 miles per hour, and
stopped in a truck length, but not
until both the front and back wheels
had passed over the body.
= Mr.. Davis was picked up uncon-
scious and died few moments later.
Acting Coroner H. A. Gaskill held
an inquest at the Belford and Clark
undertaking parlors, exonerating all
parties to the accident from blame.
That the accident was unavoidable is
conceded by all. 1t is merely one of
those sad affairs which no one can
help, and while Mr.. Malone could in
no way be considered responsible, it
is nevertheless, great source of re-
gret on his part that it happened.
Relatives of Mr.. Davis expressed
themselves to the Democrat as bear
ing no malice whatever toward Mr..
Malone, and said that they placed no
blame on him.
John F. Davis was born in Weston,
Missouri, in 1848, and was married
to Elizabeth Kane in 1870. She pass
ed away in the year 1904. He was
the father Of five children, three girls
and two boys, three of which are
living. He came to Kansas in 1901
and to Liberal in 1907. a
He was the father of Mrs. r. E.
Gates, who resided here couple of
years ago, also grandfather of Mrs.
Earl Bish of Liberal. Mrs. Bish was
to accompany him on the trip. A
son, Russell Davis, is employed by
the Rock Island at Dalhart, and he
and his wife came here in response
to a message announcing his death.
Mr.. Davis was well known and well
liked and his death is regretted by
al.
The funeral was held at the Christ
ian church Sunday afternoon, con-
Quoted by Rev. James Taylor and the
remains were inferred in the Liberal
cemetery.
