Material Now on the
Ground for a $4,000
Building.
THREE STORIES
WITH BASEMENT
Will Be Located on Washington
Ave. Opposite Present Hospital
DR.. Huddleston Will Be
in Charge

Material is being assembled on the
lots purchased some time ago for the
$50, 900 hospital building.
The building will be 1OOx1OO, three
stories high, with full basement and
will be of brick. The site chosen is
on Washington avenue, across the
street west of the present hospital
building.
The building is a result of the ef-
forts of DIR. F. w. .Huddleston, who
has conducted the Liberal Hospital
here for some time. He has never
had enough room, and the new build
ing will fill a real need.
Liberal has several small hospitals
and these have been inadequate most
of the time to take care of the pa.
tients in the large territory adjacent
to Liberal.
The erection of the new hospital is
a big thing for Liberal and The Dem.
ocrat is pleased to see the plans real.

WILL CARRY THE MESSAGE
TO GARDEN CITY PEOPLE
Movement on Foot to Attend Dedica-
ton of Garden City Taber-
nacle March ~.

If present plans materialize there
will be large number of Liberal
people in attendance at the dedication
of the Tabernacle at Garden City a
week from Friday.
1t has been decided that this would
be fitting testimonial to the splendid
ability of Evangelist Rayburn, and if
the weather permits there will no
doubt be abig crowd going.
Ray Millman has volunteered, as
usual, to secure cars for the trip. The
passengers will only be asked to
stand the expense of gasoline and oil,
which is very fair proposition.
All who are willing to take their
cars for the trip will please see Mr..
Millman at once and signify their
willingness.
Let's make a turnout that will
make real showing and then give
Rayburn the boost he so richly de-
serves.

Weight Limit of 4th
Class Matter Increased

The postal laws and regulations
have been amended effective March
Is, 1918, which increases the limit Of
weight of fourth-class matter to 7C
pounds for parcels mailed for deliv.
cry within the first, second and third
zones "a distance of 800 miles), and
to so pounds for parcels mailed fol
delivery within any of the other
zones.
This change will serve to increase
the usefulness and availability Of the
parcel post as a prompt, convenient
and cheap means Of transporting
mailable parcels.
This increased weight limit will be
particularly advantageous in the
marketing of the products Of the
farm, as it will make it possible fol-
producers and consumers to get into
direct contact, thereby facilitating
the conservation and distribution OF
food, which is a most important fac
tor in winning the war.
The increased weight limit does NOT
apply to parcels. sent to the 'Expedi-
tionary Forces in Europe. Parcels
mailed to those forces must not ex-
ceed seven pounds in weight.

Two Hundred Persons
Resolve to Lead a
Christian Life.
125 OF NUMBER
MEN AND BOYS
Audience Estimated at $500 Saw the
Greatest Religious Denomination
That Ever Took Place in.
the Southwest.

Those who were fortunate enough
to be in attendance at the meeting
last Sunday night at the Tabernacle
witnessed scene unequalled in the
history of Southwest Kansas, when
two hundred persons took the stand
for Christ.
The building, with a seating ca
pacity of 1000, was filled to the
doors and chairs were brought from
the churches and placed in the aisles
to accommodate those who could not
be seated in the regular way.
Every seat in the choir was taken
and the music was something long to
be remembered.
Evangelist Rayburn preached on
"The Second Coming of Christ" and
it was sermon that appealed to ev-
eryone. There was no guess work
about it; every statement was ac-
cording to the scripture and definite
in its conclusion.
At the close of the sermon Rev.
Rayburn gave the invitation and al
most Immediately there was a stream
of men and women going forward,
taking his hand, making the resolve
to lead better life. They came
from all parts of the house and were
people from all stations of life-busi
ness men, farmers, railroad men
tradesmenf city and county officials
many with. their wives, sons and
daughters. .+
They came singly, then in twos and
threes and then by the dozen, the vast
audience catching the spirit applaud
ed their action. For more than an
hour there was almost steady
stream seeking the altar. The center
section of the Tabernacle was cleared
as the crowd increased, that those
coming forward might be seated, and
when the last song was sung, and the
meeting closed it was found that two
hundred persons, among them one
hundred and twenty-five men and
boys, had answered the call to the
service of God.
We have not the words at our COM
mand to describe this meeting. The
powerful sermon and the wonderful
result is beyond our power of descrip-
ton, and those who were not there
missed one of the most inspiring
scenes that is the privilege Of man to
behold.
1t was great meeting; great in
numbers, in message; in enthusiasm
and in results, a meeting that will
live in memory and in influence, and
we are sure that the town and COM
munity has been benefited greatly.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS OF
THE CAMPAIGN
ocCIdIiilB ONSl ----------.---ooo
. 4 + 4 4 1. Z Z + + + + + + +

The final sermon of the great evan
gelistic campaign was preached Tues.
night at the Tabernacle. A good
crowd was out to hear the closing
sermon.
When the invitation was given
seventeen persons went forward.
After the evangelist had made his
talk to the converts the ministers of
Liberal made talks, and it was good
to hear the nice things they had to
say Of one another.
Each had warm words Of praise
for Mr.. Rayburn, Mrs. Rayburn and
Mr.. and Mrs. Wickland. These good
people have done a work here that is
a revelation, and if the talks made
by the ministers last night could be
made at the beginning or every meet
ing started by Mr.. Rayburn it would
speed up his work to a remarkable
degree.
The meeting here has exceeded all
expectations. No one dreamed Of the
far-reaching influence Of the sermons
preached by Mr.. Rayburn. We found
him much bigger man than we ex-
pected and we were expecting much.
He goes from here to Garden City,
where he will conduct a series of
meetings. We cannot commend him
highly enough to the people of that
city. The people there have sur
prise in store for them, just as we
had. 1t is only after the close of the
meeting that Mr.. Rayburn's work can
be fully appreciated.
Rev. A. M. Wilkinson, the new pas
tor Of the Methodist church here,
spoke on the results Of the Rayburn
meeting at Dodge City. He said it
was pleasure to be pastor after
Rayburn had visited town, and told
of the great interest that followed his
meeting there, of the lasting effects
of his efforts.
The ministers did themselves proud
in their expressions of friendship for
one another. They have worked to
gether faithfully all the time, there
has been an excellent feeling hereto
fore, but since the meeting they are
brought closer together than ever
before. Possibly we have not appre-
ciated our ministers enough. They
are fine bunch of fellowsj they de-
serve the earnest support of the peo-
pie IF the town. They are broad
minded and take an interest in every
thing that is for the advancement of
the town, and we believe that the
meeting has demonstrated their great
field Of usefulness and the necessity
Of hearty support on behalf of the
people.
Mr.. C. D. Hestwood, who leaves
soon to take up his new work, was
warmly commended by the ministers.
He has been congenial worker with
them, and they expressed sadness in
parting with him. At the same time
they gave his successor, Rev. A. N.
Wilkinson, hearty welcome, and
pledged him the same warm friend
ship and hearty support they have ex-
tended Rev. Hestwood.
Mr.. Wickland made short talk,
as did Mr.. Rayburn. They expressed
appreciation of the kindness extend
e<A a during their stay here, thank
ing all who had contributed in any
way 70 the success Of the campaign.
It, \ss a fitting close to a notable
meeting and those who were present
were glad to be there.

George Brandeis, head OF the Bran
deis interests in Omaha, has returned
from a trip to the New York market,
more impressed than ever with the
way Nebraska is entering into the
various war activities. He noted how
the east is taking up the Nebraska
plan used in the War Savings stamp
drive, TASTES which placed this state
in the front ranks, and that the eyes
of the east are on Nebraska. IL see
another great success for the cam
paign now on and which will reach
its climax June 28," said Mr.. Brandeis.
IF people would only realize that this
is the safest and best small investment
in the world today, they would quick
ly buy as many as they could afford.
II am glad to say that many Of
Brandeis stores buyers already have
been in the market more than two
weeks and the others are either on
their way or to 60 very shortly, We
are sending our buyers to New York
and the eastern markets this, season
almost two months ahead of the reg
ular schedule, giving them the ad-
vantage of being first in the field and
enabling them to secure the pick of
the best fall merchandise.

Omaha-the best that the most prom

will find earliest presentation here.
And because of our foresight we shall
be able to distribute this fall mer-
chandise at lower prices than else

to be and there is more reason than
ever for everyone to purchase what
they need right here.
