All Classes of Witnesses Before
Senate Oppose Proposed
Legislation.
AGAINST INTERFERENCE
WITH THE INDUSTRY
Kenyon and kendrick Bills Find
Neither Friends Nor Advocates
at Hearing-System of
Packers Praised.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Federal reg
ulation OF the packing industry, pro-
posed in the Kenyon and Kendrick
bills now on hearing before the SEN
ate agriculture committee, found
neither friends nor advocates in the
long list Of witnesses who aired their
views today. Though those testify
ing, came from points all the way be-
tween Missouri and Georgia, and
their occupations ran the gamut from
farmer, through feeders, stockers, re-
tail butchers and dealers in produce,
and while their opinions as to the
reasons and responsibility of high
cost of living were diverse and occa-
sionally most forcefully put, the
packers, all insisted, should be let
alone. Interference with them, the
tenor of the statements ran, would be
dangerous to the consumer and every
body else.
"We've had government control Of
railroads and telephones and tele-
graphs, until we're plumb worn out
and we don't want any more" W. P.
Carpenter, stock feed of Tarkio, Mo-,
assured the committee. "Im in favor
Of the man who can produce the
cheapest going ahead as far as he can.
That's the way to cut down the COST
of living"
Thomas Dunn, a St. Louis meat
dealer. aired an unusual view of the
situation. when he said "people want
to pay high prices because they think
they are getting better stuff"
All of the feeders insisted that
competition was keen in stock yards,
said they spoke from long experience
in selling there and were inclined to
scott at assertions that the packers
dominated the markets. Proposals
in the bills to take away the packers
refrigerator cars, J. R. Lynn OF
Tarkio, Mo-. said "were as reasonable
as proposals to take away packers
butcher knives"
C. T. Caldwell, for the Moultr:e,
Ca. chamber of commerce, also
spoke for delegation.
"We've got Swift and company,
down there They've helped more
than ANYTHING else to get our farm
ers to diversity" he said. "The live
stock business needs their national
distribution"

in closets for instruments, linens, etc.
The rooms are finished in white
enamel and are ideally arranged for
the utmost dispatch in handling cases.
The radiators are suspended from the
wall, facilitating the removal of dust,
making the room sanitary. In fact
all the radiators in the building are
of the same style.
The third floor, upon which the
operating room is located, is known
as the surgical and obstetric floor,
while the second floor is referred to
as the medical and fracture floor.
The entire building is piped for
the vacuum cleaning system, and a
closet has been provided on the first
floor to house the machine.
On this floor is located the room in
which the baby incubator is kept.
During the past year the incubator
has been successfully used in two
cases, these being the little son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hobble, and the little
son of Mr.. and Mrs. R. A. Brown.
The first floor is one of the inter
esting parts of the building. The
heating system is located on this
floor. This is a Capital Steam Heat
ing System, one of the most approved
types on the market. The system
was installed at a cost of almost
$4,000 and is self regulating in ev-
cry particular. The coils on the
third floor can be heated in thirty
minutes from the time the fire is
started, and the temperature is regu-
lated with an 'exactness possible in
few systems. Adjoining the furnace
room is a coal bin with capacity of
car of coal.
On this floor are also the cooks
room, and nurses class room, with

LIBERAL TOWNSHIP TO
VOTE ON BONDS MAY 20
Petition Circulated and Readily
Signed Shows Sentiment is
Favorable.

A petition was circulated in Lib
eral township asking that an election
be called for the purpose of voting
bonds for the Kansas and Oklahoma
Railroad in the sum of $4,000, and
was signed freely.
l. N. Pennington, T. w. Hubbard
and H. A. Gaskill carried the petition
and report that they received the
signature of almost every man ap-
preached.
The election will be held on Tues
day, May 20, the polling places being
as follows: Precinct No. l, court
house in Liberal; precinct No. 2, An
telope Valley school house.
There seems to be little doubt but
what the proposition will carry east
ly, and with this accomplished it will
be up to the farmers of Oklahoma
to make good their part and the road
will haul wheat to market this year,
Liberal voted in favor of the bonds
almost unanimously, and it is expect
ed that the people of Liberal town
ship will do as well.
Different reports come from Okla
homa. Some are to the effect that
the farmers are undecided, while
others say they are mostly favorable
We are more inclined to rely on the
latter report. Those to whom we
have talked, with possibly one or two
exceptions, are satisfied that the road
will be worth all that is asked Of

ing, while a modern poultry yard
will be constructed on the north side.
Porch swings and hammocks will be
provided, and the place arranged so
as, to be as comfortable and home
like as possible.
The school is chartered by the
state and many prombnnt citizens
of the state are named on the Board
of Directors and committees.
Miss Lola Dean Potter, a graduate
nurse from st. Vincent's Hospital,
Roanoke, Virginia, is superintendent
of the Nurses Training School and a
faithful assistant in the work of the
hospital. Highly proficient and of a
pleasant disposition, she has made
many friends during the short time
she has been with the institution.
The Glass Instructors are: Drs. T.
A. Jones, F. w. Huddleston, A. l..
Knisely, Geo. S. Smith, Geo. Nickel
son, R. T. Nichols, Flora E. Cox, R.
N.
The discipline of the school is most
strict and it is desired that only
those possessing a high standard of
competency take membership. Those
in charge wish to turn out nurses
who will be in every way a credit to
the institution and the utmost care
is used in this regard.
Both the Hospital and the Train
ing School are institutions of which
the citizens of Liberal should be
proud. There is nothing better in
the west than we now have right here
in Liberal, and we feel confident that
these institutions will mean as much
or more to the town than the indi-
viduals who own them. The same

COUNCIL APPROVED PLANS

Engineers Report Accepted and viii
Be Presented to Utilities
Board.

At the regular meeting of the
City Council Tuesday evening the
plans for waterworks extensions as
prepared by the Ruckle Engineering
Company, was accepted and same
will be presented to the Utilities
Board for approval.
The plans call for additional wells,
pumps and mains, and if approved
by the Board will give Liberal all the
water needed.
The white way petition was re-
ferred back for the reason that the
council felt nat the petitions had
not been properly circulated. There
were to have been three petitions
but only two wre circulated, many
property owners not having had the
opportunity of expressing them
selves. The petitions will be again
handed about and there is no doubt
but that they will bear the required
number of signatures when they are
again presented.

the X-Ray machine. Flourchoptic ta-
BILE, and opening off from it the de-
velOping room with running water,
hot and cold, developing table, lead
lined boxes, drying racks, etc.
The building is provided with pas
senger elevators with openings on all
floors.
On the first floor is the general
cooking room, where one will find all
modern conveniences. Generous pan
tries, refrigerator, and cooking equip
ment should make the work of cook
ing pleasure. Every detail has been
carefully planned.
A house telephone system connects
the kitchen, the diet kitchens and the
isolation ward with the office.
One of the most cheerful rooms in
the house is the nurses dining room.
This is large, well-lighted room in
the northwest corner of the building.
The room is nicely furnished with
two long tables, chairs, pictures and
graphaphone. Across the hall is the
laundry with electric washer, mangle,
etc.
The hospital also has a well ar
ranged isolation ward This is at the
front of the building on the first
floor. The ward has space for four
beds, contains desk, screens, etc, and
is provided with bath, toilet, shower
bath, electric stove and disinfecting
room. Here contagious cases can be
taken care of with comfort to the
patient and safety to the other occu-
pants of the building.
On the south a concrete driveway
the entire length of the lot permits
vehicles. to approach the building
from either direction.
In the rear of the building a ten
mis- court will be constructed for the
benefit of the nurses.
In every way the construction is
up to the minute. The doors are of
beautiful one-panel construction, the
woodwork and walls fare finely fin
ished. The furnishings are tasty in
design and everywhere is evidence of
good judgment in finishing and furn-
ishing.
One thing to be noticed as one goes
thru the building, is that every con-
venience has been planned with the
thought of giving the greatest serv-
ice and most perfect care to the sick
and afflicted who come there for as

Committee of Six to Greet
Boys of seth.

M. Feinberg, the clothier, today
received commission from Gov
ernor Allen as member of the Kan
sas reception committee to receive
overseas soldiers at New York and
other Atlantic ports.
He is arranging to leave for New
York in time to be on hand when the
seth arrives in port.
This is a fitting recognition for
Mr.. Feinberg and one that his friends
here will appreciate. 1t is so seldom
that man this far west gets in on
anything of Importance, that Liberal
is not only pleased but surprised
that one of her citizens should be
recognized in an official way and in
such meritorious undertaking.
Liberal will be we'll represented in
New York when Feinberg gets there
and he will have a genuine Western
Kansas handshake for the Kansas
boys.

She realizes that this can only be pos
sible thru painstaking service, and
she is ever on the alert that nothing
remains undone which will in the
slightest measure add to the prestige
or praise of the institution. Every
one connected with the institution
holds her in highest respect and she
has the hearty cooperation of all,
to the end that there is harmony of
effort and cooperation between every
individual. Miss Cox believes in
having pleasant surroundings for the
employees of the hospital as well as
the patients, and she is as careful
of those who work with her, that
they have every possible comfort and
pleasure. Miss Cox possesses un-
usual business ability, handles the
details of the management in a capa-
BILE manner, and is valuable at
tache to the institution But best of
all she is thoroughly human, takes
the keenest interest in the patients
who come under her care, sympa-
thizes with them in their suffering
and rejoices at their recovery. The
care of the sick is her life work and
she strives to attain a proficiency
that will enable her to still further
minister to the bodily distressed.
In connection with the Liberal
Hospital, there is conducted the Lib
eral Hospital Training School for
Nurses.
This school was opened in June,
1918, and there are eight girls TAX
ing training at the present time.
Miss Lola Dean Potter is superin-
tendent of the Training School, which
gives full three-year course, the
study period covering nine months in
the year.
The class periods are from a to 5
each week day except Saturday,
when they are forty minutes.
The building formerly used as the
hospital, across the street from the
present building, will be known as
the Nurses Home. 1t will be remod-
eled and refinished, and when this is
done the girls will have ideal head
quarters.
There are seventeen rooms in the
building and each girl will have her
own room. There will be kitchen
ette where meals may be prepared
when the nurses are not on duty
Each room will be furnished with
bed, wardrobe, study table and chair.

SOME WINDOW DISPLAY

One of the novel window displays
to greet the Kansas City Boosters
was arranged at the Wiley Drug
Store. Above the lines printed on
the card to welcome the Boosters had
been written "Bone Dry" Ranged
around the window was two rows
of bottles, one row of grape juice
and one of Buck" temperance
beer. In the center of the window
reposed human skull with a half
burned cigarette in his teeth. 1t is
reported that the skull is that of a
former bar tender in Kansas City.
Anyhow the display was novel to say
the least.

latest in that line, the tubs being built
of vitrous china. There is also a gen.
eral bath on each floor, with the same
style tubs and furnishings.
Each patient room has electric
connections for electric pads, and
electric fans.
Clothes chutes have been provided
which will convey the soiled linen to
tn launry on the first floor.
On the second floor is the baby
ward. This is known as the Margaret
Louise room, named for little Miss
Margaret Jones and little Miss Louise
Huddleston, daughters of DR.. Thos.
A. Jones and DR.. F. W. Huddleston.
The furnishings of this room are most
dainty, and were presented by Miss
Flora Cox, superintendent of the hos
pital. The first occupant of this ward
was little Miss Helen Elizabeth Hoff-
man, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. c. F..
Hoffman.
The system of electric calls is most
complete. Each room is connected
with the annunciators which occupy
a conspicuous place in the halls on
each floor. These annunciators sum-
mon the nurses, and are so construct
ed that the patient is answered, know
ing his summons has been received.
There is also diet kitchen on each
floor, provided with electric stove, ice
chest, etc. The food for the patients
comes up from the general kitchen on
a small elevator and may be kept cold
or hot, as is desired, until needed.
On the second and third floors are
the nurses chart rooms or offices.
Here are built in cupboards for medi-
cines, linen, brooms, etc., everything
being as convenient as possible.
For protection against fire, there
there are water connections on each
floor, and 100 feet of hose sufficient
to reach the entire length of the
building.
At the front of the building on the
third floor is the operating room.
This room is 16 % feet, the sides
being practically all of glass, giving
ideal light. This room contains the
operating table, solution stand, in
strument tables and anesthetic table.
The electrical lighting is perfectly ar
ranged and twenty-four feet of ra-
dunn furnishes all the heat necessary

operating room, with glass partitions
between, are the sterilizing and prep
aratioh rooms. These each have built
