SAYS LIBERAL SHOULD
BOOST NEW FLOUR MILL
Prominent Business Man Finds Great
err Plant Than He I'M
agined.

"Say, don't you know that Liberal
should boost that new flour mill?"
said a business man to the Democrat
this week. 81 had been reading about
it in the Democrat and understood
that Charley Light had built quite a
MILL" he continued, "but great guns,
I'd no idea it was anywhere near the
institution that it is" He was show
ing guest over the town and incl
dentally took him thru the new mill,
and when he had seen the plant he
became enthusiastic.
He said many other nice things
about it and ended by saying that it is
an institution of which the town
should be proud, and should be liber-
ally patronzed by Liberal people.
Perhaps it would be good idea for
some more of US to go thru the mill
and get little better idea of what
has been done.
Already we understand Mr.. Light is
thinking of adding the additional
equipment to make it 500-barrel ca
pacity, and we shall not be surprised
to hear that the decision has been
made at any time.

GOT OUT In ZERO WEATHER
TO DISCUSS ROAD BUILDING

of a mill, and propery outside of Lib
eral township .39 of a mill. Or the
average of the benefit district would
be IL cents per acre on $40 valua-
ton.
This is for the concrete road, and
the Outbound macadam which Mr..
Noel advises would cost from one
third to one-half less.
After the time farmers in the north
part of the county have had in getting
to town, we are of the opinion that
the majority of them will be favorable
to a good road when they find how
easy it is going to be for them to get
it.
The Democrat will be glad to talk
with those interested and have their
opinion as to the advisability of tax
ing steps to make his improvement.
1t is really matter for the farmers
themselves to settle, and we feel safe
in saying that the people of the city
will be willing to cooperate with
them in the matter.

CELEBRATE SILVER WEDDING
ANNIVERSARY ON CHRISTMAS
MIR. and Mrs. J. N. Evans Passed
Twenty-Fifth Milestone of
Welded Life.

With their children and little grand
daughter, Helen Barbara Evans, as
guests, Mr.. and Mrs. J. N. Evans of
this city celebrated the twenty-fifth
anniversary Of their marriage on
Christmas day. The day was also the
second anniversary Of the marriage of
their son, Ernest, and wife. A big
dinner was enjoy by all.
Twenty-Five years, a quarter of a
century, seems a long time, but the
years have borne lightly upon Mr..
and Mrs. Evans, and one would
scarcely guess correctly the length of
time they have been partners in the
great game of life.
Mr.. and Mrs. Evans are among our
best known and most highly respected
citizens. They came to Seward coun-
ty many years ago and pioneered
with the pioneers. Life in those days
was at times anything but rosy, but
they stayed with the country and not
only have they made a wide circle OF
friends, but have likewise prospered
in the goods of the world.
They have reared family of young
Kansas who are an honor to them
and in every way fulfilled the highest
duties of citizenship.
The best wishes of a multitude are
that their Golden Wedding anniver'
sary may find them enjoying the
blessings which are now theirs.

Gurpural Tummn .. Brrttrr

Another of Liberals best loved
boys who so bravely offered himself
in the service of his country, will not
return.
Tommy l. Beecher received wounds
in battle October 2nd, from which he
died on October 5th.
He was a member of Headquarters
Company, Field Artillery, 35th Di-
vision, American EXpeditionary
Force, having enlisted at Wichita at
the close of the school term in the
spring of 1917 He was stationed at
Fort Sill, Oklahoma, until sent over
seas early in 1918.
His early life was spent at Ameri-
Gus and Hill City, Kansas, his parents
residing near the latter place at this
time. He attended the State Normal
at Emporia and Baker University,
and taught two terms in Liberal
schools. He was proficient in ath-
letics, foot ball being his favorite
game, and was very popular among
the boys of the teams which he
coached.
Mr.. Beecher embodied every quail
ty of Christian man, an earnest work,
er in the church, Sunday school anc
Endeavor Society. He lived clean
blameless life, and was loved and re
spected by all who knew him, for hi
genuine worth.
His ideals were the highest and il
his work as a teacher endeavored t.
instill in his pupils the desire for tn
worthwhile things of life.
The Board of Education was loatl
TO lose his services when he desire,
to enlist, but appreciating the higl
motive which actuated him they CAV
him leave of absence, upon tn
promise that he would take, up tn
work when he returned. And no
only the Board appreciated Mr.
Beecher, he stood high in the estima
ton of the teachers, pupils and par
ents.

Final Rest in One
Cnsket.

One of the saddest cases to be
known in Liberal is that of the Wal
ter G. Allen family, three members OF
the family having fallen victims OF
influeaza within six days.
Georgia Malvina Allen, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Allen, was born
March 2, 1913, and died December

ter, a bright CHEEKY little girl of a

Clarissa Airline Allen, the youngest
of the family, dear little girl of lS

The mother, Clarissa May Allen,
wife of w. G. Allen, Joined the little

1918.
She was daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
M. C. Trexler, and was born April 2l,
1885. She was married to Walter e.,
Allen, January /, 1907. To this
union four children were born, two
boys and two girls.
Mrs. Allen was devout Christian
woman, u loving mother and wlfe,
good neighbor, a valued friend.
Several hours before the time came
for parting she was told that she
could not survive and she received
the news calmly with the utmost faith
in pleasant journey to the land
where there is no more suffering or
sorrow She expressed the wish that
her two little girls be laid to rest with

Christmas Roll Call
Time Is Extended
Bad Weather and Sickness Over
Country Causes Postponement
Of Closing Date.

Seward county and Kansas were
not alone in the small response to the
Red Cross Christmas Roll Call.
All over the country the same con-
ditions that caused the shortage here
are in evidence, and the National
organization has notified the local OF
ganizations that on account of exist
ing conditions the campaign will be
conducted until January 10 if neces-
sary to get the full quota.
With our population this county
should send in at least two thousand
memberships, and really it would
seem that we should do better than
that. As it is we have failed almost
completely, True, it is no fault Of
anyone, but the extension of time
should enable us to get in at least two
thousand members.
Surely everyone who can rake up
dollar will want to do their part i'll
this drive, but with conditions as the"
are there can be but an effort mad
and it is going to be necessary for the
greater part Of our people to make
voluntarily applications for member
ship.
In view of the part the Red Cross
has played in the war and care they
gave the boys at the front, in the
training camps, and in the hospitals
after they had been wounded in bat
tie, it should be considered privilege
rather than anything else, to wear the
emblem of the organization.
There is an impression that the
donations to the Red Cross drives OF
the past year or two carry member
ship in the organization. This is er-
roneous. The campaign for members
occurs at Christmas time. One year
memberships taken out previously
expire with the year and if you would
wear the Red Cross emblem during
1919 a new membership must be TAX
en- out.
If YOU fail to get a button for 1915
do not blame anyone. There arr
some whom it will be impossible t.
reach, in fact a great many. Do no
wait to be asked to join. Make 1T
voluntary act, and do not take tn
chance of missing the 1919 buttol

o. p. JARRETT DIES
AT INDEPENDENCE
Telegraph Operator Here,
But Lately With an Oil
Company

O. P. jarrett. son of Mr. and Mrs.
C. S. Jarrett, died at his home in In
dependence, December Gath.
Details of his death have not been
received, but it is the supposltion
that he was a victim of influenza.
A telegram to his parents received
Tuesday brought the information
that he was critically i'll, and later
message announced his death. On
account of the tie-up in traffic it was
impossible to reach his bedside before
the end came. IL
The news of his death was dis
tinct shock to his many friends here:
Perrin was well known and well
liked. In his passing the writer mas
lost valued friend. Many years ago
when Liberal was a small village
Perrin held down the first trick IN
the old depot building. We nVeu
neiphbors to he and his estlmaDle
wife. and it is with a feeling Of sad
ness that we realize that the one with
whom we spent so many pleasant
hours is gone.
Perrin was a good pal, kind and
indulgent husband and father, and
dutiful son.
A number of years ago he was CON
verted and united with the Christian
church of Liberal.
He leaves to mourn him wife, two
little sons, his parents, brothers and
sister. - 4
To these the hearts of all go OUT
in tenderest sympathy.

The flu ban will be raised Sunday
morning according to DR.. Geo. S.
Smith, county health officer.
Conditions are very satisfactory at
the present time, and it appears that
there is no reason to keep the schools
closed. While there are quite num-
ber of new cases they are confined
mostly to families, several being un-
der the same roof. These are OBJ
serving the quarantine rules and
there is little fear of further spread
