WILLARD TO

Tom Mccoy Recently Wis
tied Willard Storage Bat
cry Plant at Cleveland.

Mr.. Tom Mccoy. who has just re-
turned from Cleveland. Ohio, has
some, wonderful things to say about
the Willard Storage Battery COM
lpany. where he spent three weeks in
January, attending the battery SER
vice station school. This was at the
Germ, who now insists that their SER
vice station managers attend each
year.
The factory covers over twenty.
three acres of land and employs three
thousand, five hundred men. It has
its own hospital, ~symnasiums. res
taurant, reading rooms, shower baths,
n IN fact, nearly everything that is
essential for the we'll being Of its
many employees.
The daily output is six thousaHd.

sdition to other lighting batteries. The
factories are at work night and day.
making batteries for the army aero
planes and trucks. which are all fur
nished by the Willard people.
The Willard batteries. like all other
batteries. were up to the a 1917,
made with wood insulators, which
necessitated the batteries being ship
ped from the factory fully charged.
At this time the battery began it's
life. and the average life Of such a
battery was about twelve months.
This meant that it a battery was not
sold and put INTO immediate use up
on its arrival. the battery would still
be ageing. After very many expert
ments. a new rubber insulated battery
was. made. and these the Willard
Battery company now make exclu-
sively. They are shipped bone dry"
n now the Willard battery does not
start life until it is fully charged.
This naturally lengthens the life Of
the battery and gives car owners less
battery expense.
Mr.. Mccoy stated that there were

With Work Well Under
Way Goal Is in Sight
at This Time.
WILL SEWARD GET
A SERVICE FAC
If Individual Contributions Take Full
Quota This County Will Get
Service Flag.

The Third Liberty Loan Drive is
progressing. People have awakened
an dare buying Liberty Bonds as
never before. At the present rate
this county will take its quota Of
bonds and receive the service flag Of
fered by the government to counties
in which individual subscriptions take
the full quota.
The township chairmen are report
ing some great successes in the coun-
try. One chairman said that he had
sold every man he solicited butS6Ae,
while another sold every one. This
is encouraging news and should make
the kaiser hum doleful tune. The
township chairmen are to be con-
graduated.
The drive closes May 4th and the
supreme effort of the drive will no
doubt bring the quota over the top.
The great rains and excellent crop
conditions are having an effect, and
it is much easier to get subscriptions
than formerly.
But there are slackers. There are
men. in this town who are laying
down. They are not doing tenth of
what they should, and they should
be ashamed of themselves. Every
body knows who they are and how
much they have come across and they
are known as slackers already. Some
Of them should take their manhood
out ans ais4s Gccass ssally. This is :
time that demands ,men-not swine.
The dollar hog will soon be as des-
pissed companion as the four legged
variety. Don't be dollar hog.

TAKING PRECAUTIONS
AGAINST CoNTAGION
Public Gatherings Called of and
Schools and Churches
Closed.

At a meeting held at the Chamber
Of Commerce Office last Thursday
evening, which was attended by the
doctors, the school teachers and Off
cials and members Of the city coun-
Gil, it as decided to close up the
schools, churches, and other places of
public gathering for a week or more
on account of the spread Of contagion
here.
Altho most Of the maladies seem to
be in light form they occasionally
go hard with person, and it was
deemed advisable to close public
gatherings until the spread had abat-
ed. The closing order called for a
week or until the contagion was abat-
ed. It is not known at this time
whether school will be resumed Mon
day or not.
The Democrat believes this is a
good move on the part Of the officials.
While it may be that the occasion
hardly demanded such drastic action
we believe that in a matter Of this
kind it is always best to take the safe
side and have heard no criticism, and
it puts the town on record as being
willing to do its best to make it safe
for people to come here.

JOHN Fitch DIED EARLY
YESTERDAY MORNING

John Fitch, better known as
Blackberry" died early yesterday
morning, April 18th, at the home Of
Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Clark, in Sunny
side. Mr.. Fitch was born in Swift
zerland, coming to this country with
his parents at the age Of 10 years.
He was resident of Concordia, Kan
sas, for 80 years before coming to
Liberal about 10 years ago. In his
younger days he was successful cat
tleman and accumulated considerable
wealth, the greater part of which he
still possessed at the time of his
death which occurred at the advanced
age Of 81 years.
Mr.. Fitch has been feeble and in
poor health for some time, but was
not bedfast until April 9Th, when he
fell and broke his right hip, which
with other complications, caused his
death.
A nephew from Concordia arrived
in the city yesterday and accompan-
led the remains to Concordia this
morning where funeral will be held
and burial made.
Mr.. Fitch was a very strange old
man, going silently about the streets
and living in solitude in small build
ing south of the tracks, until few
weeks ago when the people Of the
town took him in charge and provided
him with comfortable place to live
and with suitable care and food.
One would little have thought that
Mr.. Fitch was man of considerable
means, as he appeared to be a very
poor man, as he scarcely provided
! himself with enough food to keer
soul and body together and not
enough clothing to keep him warm.
Mr.. Fitch leaves two brothers and
a sister.
The Liberal Undertaking Company
had charge of the remains.

Prof. and Mrs. F. o. Rindom, was
born in Liberal, Kansas, March 18th,
1915, and passed away April 18th, at
the family home on North Washing
ton avenue.
Little Lawrence had been i'll about
ten days, having first taken smallpox
and later other complications set in
and he was very i'll the entire time
and suffered much before death
claimed him Monday evening.
Lawrence was a bright CHEEKY lit
tie fellow and in his passing a ray
of life and sunshine will be taken
from the home where he had spent
the three short years Of life.
An open funeral was held at the
cemetery yesterday afternoon, Rev.
Jas. M. Taylor of the Christian church
having charge of the services.
Four high school boys-Zack. Wood,
Ralph Bane, James Taylor and Clyde
Hubbard-acted as pawlbearers.
The many friends extend their
sympathy to the bereaved family.

If Germany Wins!

But you say, Germany has no chance to win
That is up to you!
You know that it takes lot of money to fight war;
You know that unless the money is forthcoming to
fight this war to a successful conclusion GERMANY
WILL WIN.
If you stand back and wait for your neghbor to buy
bonds, and your neighbor stands back and waits for
his neghbOr to buy bonds and his neighbor does the
same GERMANY WILL WIN.
If Germany wins it will be YOUR fault! If you loan
your money to the Government the kaiser will be the
worst licked man in the history of the world-it your
fight, and if you don't fight GERMANY WILL WIN.
American troops Western Kansas boys possibly Sew
ard county and Beaver county boys are right fac
ing the enemy in France Not THEIR enemy-your
enemy-the common enemy. If they are not provid
ed with guns, ammunition, food and clothing their ef-
forts count for nothing and GERMANY WILL WIN.
Your dollars mean bullets and bayonets for the kai-
sers troops sent there by American boys. You can't
make bullets but your money can Will you wait and
scheme and dodge to keep from taking Liberty Bonds
Will you hold on to every dollar and try to get more
If you do, Mr.. Man, you're Stacker; you're proGer-
man; you're an enemy to the country and if everyone
were like you GERMANY WILL WIN.
If you love your money better than Freedom, better
than civilization better than yourself this is poor
country for you to live in. Get into the game No

Two Hundred Men Sign
For Membership in
Organization.
HELD FIRST DRILL
MONDAY EVENING
+. Expect to Have Two Full Com.
!, panies at an Early Date
81 Room for More.

Thru the efforts of E. G. Warfel
and DR.. G. T. Richardson State
Guard has been organized in Liberal.
One hundred and sixteen men signed
up before the Organization was per-
fected and enough have come in
since to run the number to 200.
Officers have been elected as fol-
lows:
DR.. G. T. Richards, captain.
A. B. Fullmer, first lieutenant.
E. C. Warfel and H. C. Felak, Sec
end lieutenants.
H. C. Franklin, first sergeant.
DIR. Richardson has taken an active
r interest in the movement. He was a
first lieutenant in the regular army
and it was he who led the troops. into
Pekin, China, during the Boxer up
rising.
Monday evenings have been select
ed for drill and the attendance at the
first was very encouraging.
For convenience in drilling it is
expected to organize a second COM
pany, and then an effort will be made
to recruit both companies to full
strength.
The Guards are organized under
the state law to take the place of the
National Guards, the only difference
being that they are not to be callec
for service outside the state.
!. Commissioned officers are appoint
ed BY the state, which furnishes the
uniforms. Arms and ammunition are
supplied by the federal government
The period of enlistment is for the
duration Of the war and one year.
The organization of a Guard here
is a very commendable effort. There
is plenty Of material for one or more
first class companies and it may bs
that the time will soon come wher
such an organization will be of in
estimable benefit to the city, county
and state.
If you have not already joined see
Mr.. Warfel or Mr.. Richardson anc
sign up.
