THE FIRST CANDIDATE HAS
MADE HIS ANNOUNCEMENT
A Liberal Man Offers His Name as q
n Democratic Candidate for
Sheriff.

The first candidate to make public
announcement Of his intention to 60
into the primaries this fall is W. A.
Rhea, who asks the Democratic cleo
tors for the nomination as candi-
date for the Office Of Sheriff, and his
announcement will be found in the
proper place in this issue.
Mr.. Rhea says he has had enough
experience as law enforcing officer
to qualify him for the position and
would not ask for it if he did not
think he would be capable Of filling il
satisfactorily. He also says that he
is not much of a politician, this be-
ing the first time he has ever sought
an elective Office.
He has been a resident of Liberal
for ten years and has pretty thoro
knowledge of conditions here. Dur
ing the time he has resided here he
has acted as deputy sheriff and at two
different time was a member of the
police force.
The Democrats at loss as to how
to introduce Mr.. Rhea to the voters
of Seward county, as he has been a
resident here longer than most of us.
His candidacy has been discussed for
some time and we have yet to hear
the first word against him. He says
that if elected he will serve the pub
lie faithfully and discharge the duties
of the Office to the very best of his
ability and surely no one could ask
more.
We shall have more to say of his
candidacy as the campaign progress
es. In the meantime get acquainted
with him and "take his measure" He
will appreciate anything you can do
for him.

RAIN WAS GENERAL
OVER THE STATE
Growing Crops Given a Great Boost
BY the Fall of
Moisture

While there was no pressing need
for moisture in this part of the coun-
try, the excellent rain that fell the
last of the week did not hurt any and
will be a mighty good thing for the
growing crops.
The fall started Thursday evening
about five o'clock and continued dur
ing the night, over Friday and part Of
Friday night. The amount varied in
different parts Of the country from an
inch and half to four inches.
1t came down slowly and the
ground soaked it all up, and it is 60
ing to make the ground in good shape
for long time.
1t begins to look as though. this
is going to be one of the good crop
years which have become. more or'less
common in this section.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS
DESERT To The FRONT
New Offensive Against Law Of Soldiers,
Says Pershing Typical American
Spirst

" Desertion to the front" is
what General Pershing has call
ed the offence that American SOL
diers back of the front lines are
so prone to commit. Men put to
work with the pick, rod and
shovel back of the firing lines
have been found to be deserving.
The intelligence department, af-
ter looking into this apparent re-
velation of moral 'obliquity, dis
covered that these men were de-
serting to the front. They had
dropped their implements of en-
gineering and of labor for the
rifle, the hand grenade and the
bayonet in the trenches. They
were found in the thick of the
fight.
This new and strange depart
IRE from military customs has
been found so typically American,
so characteristic of the American
soldiers, and the American SOL
diers only, that the laws govern
ing him have had to be revised
to admit regulations that would
reach this new offence. But to
Americans at home, he is so well
known that his offence is not
considered so exceedingly
strange.
There's not a man or woman
in America but who thrills with
pride, and says, That's the
American soldier for you," when
he knows what his offence of de
sertion to the front" means. He
recognizes that that is the spirit
Roanoke Rapids herald. [volume] (Roanoke Rapids, N.C.) 1914-192?, 1918-10-11

that will win. 1t indicates victory
more than any event or incident
since the war began,
But quiet admiration of this
courageous spirit of the American
soldier is not enough. 1t should
be met by a like spirit on the
part of every man and woman.
The Liberty Bond and the War
Sayings Campaigns offer the oc-
casion. They cali tor self denial
and sacrifice to the utmost.
