TENTH DISTRICT is
IN SECOND PLACE
A Little Effort Would Put Us in the
First.-Only OF Per Capita
Below.

The Tenth Federal Reserve Dis
trict stands second in the list in the
sale of War Savings Stamps, the
Twelfth District with headquarters
at San Francisco being in first place.
An effort is being made to put the
Tenth in first place. We are only
short .O7 per capita and just little
effort would put us across.
The showing made so far is COM
mendable. There are twelve districts
in the United States, and Kansas and
neighboring states could well have
the honor of being the largest con-
tributors.
W. S. S. are the ideal investment.
If you have little money you are
not using, put it into stamps and help
to put the Tenth in first place. Do it
now.
Seward county is behind in its
quota. There are also several who
are not making good on their pledges.
Therefore it is up to US to make good
in two ways. Those who made pledges
should take up their stamps, and
those who have taken their subscrip-
ton and are able to take more should
do so.

He was a member of the Presby,
terian church of Liberal, a young man
exemplifying the highest ideals of
manhood. He had the respect and
esteem of all who knew him. He had
been associated with his father in
farming operations and was known as
being square, honest and upright.
He leaves to mourn him his aged
father and mother, three brothers,
Gilbert and Ben, who are with the
army in France, John of Liberal, and
one sister, Gertrude, nurse at the
Morrow Hospital.
To these the hearts of all 20 out
in sympathy. They are bent under
the burden of sorrow at the loss of
son who gave his life perform
ing the service which means so
much to us and to the generations
to come. Their sorrow extends to
the entire community, for we can
not but realize that the sacrifice they
have been called upon to make is in
payment of debt which we all owe,
and we rejoice in the spirit that
prompted the offer, and honor them
as best we can for the part they have
taken in the interest of humanisy
and right.

What Will 1919 Bring
To Liberal?

What measure of industrial ad
vance will be evidenced in Liberia
during the year 1919?
That is a question which the live
wires of the town must begin con.
sidering even before the new year
starts.
When the war halted industrial
progress no town in Kansas was in
better trim for the progressive
movement than Liberal. Prospects
were bright, enthusiasm was high and
the workers were on the job.
But patriotism was stronger than
any other sentiment and the work
of town building gave way to the
more pressing duties of winning the
war.
The war is now won. The boys are
coming home. There will be many
changes. Young men who disposed
of their business will be looking for
new locations; homes that have been
temporarily abandoned will be re-
new industries will be
seeking live place to locate.
What will Liberal have to offer
them, what effort will be made to
advise them of the opportunities af-
forded here and the advantages we
have to offer.
We must give thought to our popu-
lation. We must have more people.
There is lot to be done to put us
back to our pre-war condition, and
we cannot stop there. Liberal must
grow 1t will never do to be satisfied;
our dream of 5000 population must

George William Thompson, son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Thompson, liv.
ing north of Liberal, is another Sew.
ard county boy who fell in defense
of his country on the battlefield of
France, on November list, 1918.
George was among the first of the

physical defects. However when he
was called in the draft he was able ia
pass and left in April of this year
He only remained in camp a short
time, and his parents heard from him
in June in France.

HAS EXPERIENCED
CHIEF OF POLICE
City Dads Employ J. A. Graham tc
Look After Enforcement
of Law

Liberal has a new chief of police
in the person of ]. A. Graham, who
comes here from Greensburg, Kansas
Mr.. Graham has owned a farm
west of Liberal for several years and
has spent part of his time here, and
it was through this that the council
learned of his ability as a police off
GER.
Mr. Graham has had many years of
experience in this work. He was a
third man on the police force of St.
Louis, Missouri, second man on the
force at Alexander, Indiana, and ov-
er four years at Greensburg. He was
at one time watchman at the plant of
the Alexander Plate Glass Company,
one of the largest plants of the kind
in the United States.
He has the best of references, and
should prove valuable man for the
city.
While Liberal is generally a law
abiding city there are times when the
services of good competent man are
badly needed, and we are glad that
Mr.. Graham has consented to take
this position. From what we can learn
of him we believe he will be on the
job all the time and not finch when
duty calls.

COMMONS TAKES GOOD
POSITION IN WASHINGTON
PoPuar Young Liberal Attorney Will
Have Place in War Risk Insurance
DEPARTMENT

Clyde R. Commons left Wednesday
morning on No. a for Washington
d. c., where he goes to take a posi-
ton in the War Risk Insurance De-
partment.
Mr.. Commons disposed of his busi-
ness here couple of months ago ex-
pecting to enter the army. He waived
exemption and was called in the last
draft, but the signing of the armis-
tice released him after he had been
in the service one day, so he did not
get very far in a military way. He
had also made application for the
Officers training school and in the
truck department, so he would be
sure of seeing service.
The close of the war left him with
out business so he made application
Tor a position under the civil service
and has received notice to report at
once.
Clyde will make good and will no
doubt rise in the service if he decides
70 remain with it. He is energetic,
nas plenty of natural ability and am
bition.
Clyde has a host of friends, not
Pnly in Liberal, but in this part of the
tate whose best wishes will follow
lim and will be glad to hear of his
uccess.
We regret that he is to leave but
ope that he finds life in the Capital
ity entirely to his liking.
