NARROWED SOLDIERS
HAD CHRISTMAS TREE
Children on Train No. Held at Pratt
by Storm Received Many
Gifts.

Despite the fact that they were
away from home at Christmas, pas
sengers on snowbound train, the
Riddles on Rock Island Train No. 3 at
Pratt received presents.
There were a large number of re-
turning soldiers on the train and they
conceived the idea of Christmas
tree. Accordingly a collection was
taken, tree and presents purchased.
The tree was set up in the depot and
the presents arranged, when the pas
sengers were invited in and the gifts
distributed, every child on the train
receiving something.
After the distribution the boys put
on program which was the cause Of
much merriment. One of the stunts
was little impromptu farce which
they called "The Awkward Squad"
One of the passengers says the pro-
gram was one of the most laughable
things to be imagined, and everybody
had a good time.

HOSIE McFARLIN AND CLYDE
GORDON HOME FROM FRANCE

Hosie McFarlin arrived from Camp
in New York the last of the week. He
landed in New York horbor few
weeks ago and sent his home folks a
message at the time. Last week his
name appeared in the casualty list as
missing in action, at which time he
was safe and sound in the United
States.
Mr.. McFarlin was member Of
Company B, 7th Engineers, and it
was during the last days of fighting
that he was wounded, losing one Of
his fingers.
Clyde Gordon, whose parents live
near Lorena, arrived in the city last
night. Mr.. Gordon has just recently
come from France and bears a wound
in the shoulder that testifies that he
has seen active service.
Both boys are looking fine now and
seem mighty glad to be at home in
the U. S. where peace reigns at all
times.
They have been kept busy answer
ing the many questions of their rela-
tives and friends who are eager to
learn all that is possible of the war
and the conditions that now exist
over there.

WHAT TIME WILL LIBERAL
ADOPT ON JANUARY FIRST?

President Magruder of the Liberal
Chamber of Commerce has called a
meeting for Tuesday evening at
which time the business men will dis
cuss the kind of time to be used here
when the railroad changes to Noun
tain time on the west end.
There has been many expressions
of preference and as we understand it
this city may use either time. Mr..
Magruder will have a conference with
Superintendent Greenough the last of
the week and learn his preference in
the matter and give the information
to those at the meeting Tuesday even
ing,
There may also be some other bust
ness to come before the meeting so
it will be well for the Give" ones to
be in attendance.

CHRISTMAS WEDDING BELLS
AT THE w. E. FARMER HOME

At high noon December 25th, 1918,
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Warren
Farmer of Liberal, Kansas, occurred
the wedding of their daughter, Ola,
to Mr.. Charles E. Davis of Range,
Oklahoma. Rev. Thomas F. Barrier
performed the ceremony in the pres
ence of the assembled family and
friends.
Those present were the immediate
family circle of the bride, her I'M
Gle, A. A. Farmer, and cousins, Susie
and Mary Farmer, and several girl
hood friends. The relatives of the
groom were unable to be present on
account of the snowbound condition
of the railroads.
The Farmer home was appropri-
ately decorated with Christmas bells
and runners in the holiday colors of
green and red. At the west end of
the parlor hung the white wedding
bell under which the bride and groom
took the solemn vows which made
them husband and wife.
The bride looked dainty and sweet
in her white satin gown and white
bridal roses. The groom was dressed
in the conventional black.
At the close of the ceremony a
shower of rose petals from the hid
den recess Of the bell showered the
newly married couple.
The guests were served to boun-
teous four-course Christmas wedding
dinner by the charming daughters of
the home.
Merriment ran high at the cutting
of the wedding cake. 1t would be
telling tales out of school to tell who
found the ring and heart, but they
were found.
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis received COM
plete set of silver table service be-
sides many other useful gifts.
These young people are very well
known in Liberal. The bride gradu-
ated from our high school in 1917,
and is greatly beloved in social and
church circles. The groom is young
man of sterling ability and is a pros
porous young farmer and ranchman
of nearby Oklahoma.
They will make their future home
on the ranch near Range, Oklahoma.

DR.. j. D. WEIGH, the Liberal chiro-
practor who enlisted more than year
ago, and who has been stationed at
Fl. W. Scott, California, returned to
Liberal on No. l Thursday evening,
and is at the home Of his mother.
We did not learn whether he would
remain here, as he was in too great a
hurry to get "home to mother" to
stop and talk, but we presume he will
again open an Office in Liberal.
Service in the army seems to have
agreed with him as he is looking well.
We shall hope he remains with us.

OLLIE DOBSON is HOME
AFTER SERVING IN FRANCE

Ollie Dobson, son of Mr.. and Mrs,

past several months in France with
the A. f. F. The trip and life Of the
army had no i'll effect upon young
Dobson, as he looks fit as fiddle. He
says there seemed to be something in
the army grub" that puts meat on a
fellows bones, and we are inclined to
agree with him.

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS
ROLL CALL NEAR 500
Sickness and Storm Interfered With
Work and Small Number
Resulted.

While returns are incomplete it is
estimated that the Christmas Roll Call
for memberships in the Red Cross will
run close to 800.
The last days of the Roll Call were
the worst in the history of Kansas,
and nothing could be done in the way
of drive.
We have no definite information on
the subject, but are of the opinion
that memberships will still be accept
ed. Seward county should have three
or four times that number.

The nurse who addressed him spoke
as to a servant.

braced his shoulders and hurried to
obey.
The patient, already etherized, had
been brought in. Mark, watching the
patient narrowly as the surgeon probed
the wound, knew nothing but his task
until the surgeon nudged him familiar
ly in the side while one of the nurses
was sponging his forehead.

"Where was it?"
Mark started and looked into the
quizzical gray eyes of one of the army
doctors from an Arizona town, whom
he had dined at the mess.

answered quietly.
The surgeon searched his face, and,
like a decent man, admitted his error.
Another poor devil gone down." he
thought, as he turned to his work.
There were three more operations
following, and Mark sighed with relief
as the last man was carried away. He
took scrubbing brush and bar of
SOAP and kneeled down to clean the
floor, while his fellow attendant
secured the splashed table and carried
away the towels.

CHAPTER x-Continued.

Under the name Of Weston, Mark
had enlisted in the medical branch OF
the service. 1t was lowly branch
despised by those who knew nothing
of its activities. But the choice had
been between that and nothing, for the
first fighting contingents to be sent
overseas embraced only the regulars,
not those of the draft. Mark had en-
listed rather than wait, especially since
he knew that Colonel Howard, with
Kellerman and his staff, were already
in France.
And somewhere within a few square
miles was the base of the American
activities, the headquarters from which
the mobilization in France was being
directed.
Hurry up to the surgical ward y
said the matron as Mark reached her.
;"And you, too, Hartley" she added.
The two men scrambled up the
stairs. At the opposite end of the
building, an old converted chateau,
the convoy had halted. Other order
lies were carrying out the stretchers
with their living, mangled burdens.
A group Of the newly arrived doc
tors and nurses was coming up the
stairs. They were all ready for their
work. Mark no longer saw anything
but the wounded men. Dripping with
perspiration, he hurried from the ward
to the pack store and back, innumer-
able times, struggling under great
piles of towels and bedding.

In the shops devoted to children's
clothes it is apparent that even small
girls are more likely to go often in silk
attire than in pre-war days. Frocks
of crepe de chine and taffeta are taken
as matter of course in outfitting the
little maid of today. Crepe de chine is
infringing on the territory of cotton
fabrics so rapidly that we will soon
consider them together when the time
comes for selecting goods for many
kinds of garments. The immense ad-
vance in the price of cottons will help
along this demand for silks.
For everyday wear, chambrays and
ginghams, along with some new weaves
in heavy cottons, are still the best lik-
ed materials. In pink, blue, yellow and
green, the chambrays are made up with
white cotton poplin collars and belts
or with organdie or batiste or other
lingerie collars, for girls from two to
six years old. For parties frocks of
crepe de chine or net, or fine embroid-
cred batiste are the choice for these
little maids.
Having arrived at seven wears, other

looking into her upturned face with
his habitual sneer.
''It is all over then?" asked Mrs.
HENSON.
"Stnce you compel me to be frank

that you should have put us all in this

listened. He had unconsciously drawn
near Hartley.

The separate skirt, to be worn with
q Shirtwaist, has established its place
in the regard of business women, as
firmly as the coat suit. 1t answers the
same purpose and makes opportunity
for variety, which is the spice of ap-
parel as of other things. In stormy
weather the girl who goes. to business
relies upon an enveloping storm-proot
coat, since she must get out rain or
shine, and wears under it the regula-
ton and the best outfit for business
a tailored blouse and skirt or a plain
tailored frock.
Besides these worka-day, utility
skirts there are the very smart skirts
for informal wear that are claSSed as
sport skirts. They meet the need OF
the woman who wishes to be smartiy
but informally dressed and to emhody
much individual style in the simplest
of costumes. They are worn with
various coats and sweater coats, and
each year sees them produced in a
greater range of styles and prices as

silks appear over the horizon OF the
little girl. But nothing is prettier than
taffeta which is the silk for youth. A
frock of it, made for a girl of twelve,
is shown here. 1t is a quaint affair
with a plain, full skirt gathered onto
a short-waisted bodice that is laid in
two irregular plaits at the waistline.
A sleeveless overbodice is cut in tabs
at the front and back and finished at
the edges with a piping of the silk.
Each of the tabs is adorned with three
small, silk-covered buttons set in a row.
There is a flavor of other days in
this demure little frOck, which has
been perceived and has been carried
cut in the hair dressing of its young
wearer. An old-fashioned round comb
holds wayward locks in place and
wide band of ribbon dutifully and
without bows or furbelows, sees to it
that no stray ringlets fall over the brow.

the benefit of smart women who leave
the North in January. They are in
rich colorings in plaids, crossbars and

rich skirts in plain satins, in tricolette
and heavy, fawny weaves of silk, es-
pecially effective in black and white.
These are worn with blouses that
