MAKE NOISE LIKE
MORE PAVING HERE
Lincoln Avenue Residents Getting
Anxious Since Business Streets
Have Been Finished.

While some folks think Liberal
has done enough paving this year
it is going to be a hard matter
to make some of the Lincoln Ave-
nue. folks believe it.
Gradually sentiment seems to be
crystalizing for the paving of
Lincoln, and we understand that a
petition has been presented to the
City Council, asking that the street
be paved. This has not been act
ed upon as yet.
One of the boosters for the
proposition says that Garden City
has let a lot of additional con-
tracts, that Pratt has exceeded us
by double or more and that other
towns in the class with Liberal
are going right ahead and paving
Workmen are rapidly working on
Sherman and the last lap on Kan
sas Avenue is about completed.

BUILD MORE HOUSES
OR QUIT GROWING
Liberal Has Reached the Limit in
Population Unless More
Houses are Built.

Just as well disband the Chamber
of Commerce and muzzle the
boosters. Liberal has no need for
boosting-what we need now is
houses.
Two families that we know of
have left town already because
they could get no place to live and
others are going to have to leave
unless more houses are provided.
We are told that the manager
of a large corporation seeks a
residence here if a suitable house
can be secured, while one Of our
new business men is unable to
bring his family here because he
cannot rent house.
Just why more houses are not
built is something we cannot figure
out. There are many desirable lots
on the market and a good house
can always be rented here. The
high price Of lumber is not a valid
excuse for not building, as an in
vestigation will reveal the fact that
lumber has not advanced in price
as much as many other lines.
Rents never were higher and
good tenants can be secured who
will take leases for a year.
A small amount invested in a
rental house the balance to be
paid out through the Building &
Loan Association will in time de-
liver to the owner house which
has really cost him but little. q.
The man with a few thousand
dollras to invest can in a few years
have good income from rental
properties and we hope to see
houses built at an early date.

MOVE OCHILTREE COURT
HOUSE TO PERRYTON
Controversy Settled and Work Of
Moving Structure Under
Way.

The controversy over the removal
of the ochiltree County Court House
from Ochiltree to the new town of
Perryton has been settled and work
of removing the structure is under
way.
When the Santa Fe went north
of ochiltree and the town moved
over to Perryton there were some
who did not want the Court House
moved, but everything has been
settled satisfactorily and the new
town is now the County Seat.

WILL ADD ELECTRICAL
DEPARTMENT TO BUSINESS
Malone Plumbing Shop to Handle
Electrical Fixtures and
Supplies.

c. ]. Malone, who recently pur-
chased the Buckland plumbing busi-
ness, announces that he will add
an electrical department to the
business, handling electrical sup
plies and fixtures of all kinds.
E. W. Hall, who is we'll known
here as an electrician, will have
charge of the department. Mr..
Hall was with the electric light
company here until he left for
service in the army. Since his dis
charge he has been located at
Hoisington.
There has long been a demand
for a well stocked electrical shop
here and the addition should prove
profitable to the new firm.

WILSON'S FURNITURE
is NOW ON THE FLOOR
After Great Delay First Car is
Ready for the Customers.

The Wilson Furniture Company,
while not completely stocked as
yet is ready for business. The
first car came in a few days ago
and has been assembled and placed
on display. Other cars are daily
expected and Mr.. Wilson hopes
soon to have a complete stock.
From the looks of the show room
we imagine that it was a mighty
big car which held all that furni-
ture, as it would seem to the
ordinary individual that he has a
pretty good stock already.

FINE RAIN FELL

1t was getting pretty dry, but
the dust is a thing of the past.
Rain began falling Tuesday night
and continued during the night and
most of the day Wednesday.
In all more than an inch and one
half of water fell.
While the row crops were not
particularly in need of moisture,
the ground was getting too dry
for plowing for wheat and the
farmers are going to be busy people
for the next few weeks.

GEORGE BEBAN, MOVIE STAR
STANDS FOR CLEAN PICTURES

George Beban is heart and soul
for the clean, wholesome type of
photoplay with the sex appeal
strictly eliminated. He said so
yesterday, with considerable en-
phasis to the guests at a luncheon
given for Mr.. Beban at the Hotel
Muehlebach by the Doric theatre.
"Men who have my commercial
interests at heart told me just be-
fore l started my own company
there was something wrong with
the sort of plays l put on-from
the box office standpoint" Mr.. Be-
ban said. "You ought to employ
more of the salacious, triangle
stuff, they told me, more of the
sex appeal"
"Salacious? Rot! Did Joseph
Jefferson in his masterpiece, Grip
Van Winkle," have to resort to
sex appeal? That fine old Scotch
man, ]. M. Barrie, did he use it in
"Peter Pam? Does Dickens in "a
Tale of Two Cities? And how
about Dave Warfeld in the love-
liest character ever seen, that of
the simple old music master,
searching for his lost daughter?"
A mans intelligence is not meas
ured by the amount of money he
has in his pocket, says Mr.. Beban,
who believes that the majority
of the public does like the clean
drama, even if they have to be
educated up to it.
Mr.. Beban will appear at the
Doric each afternoon and evening of
this week.-Kansas City Journal.
Mr.. Beban appears at the Ma
jestic next Monday and Tuesday in
a stirring drama "Hearts of Men,"

SIMoNS BUYS THE
COZY BARBER SHOP

T. V. Simons, who several months
ago disposed of the Rock Island
barber shop on West Second Street,
last week purchased the Cozy shop
on North Kansas.
Tom is a dandy good shaver and
a fine fellow and we are glad that
he is not to leave Liberal. When
he sold he expected to "just work
around" but he had been in busi-
ness for himself so long he, didn't
feel right without a business of
his own so the deal was made.

GETTING ANXIOUS FOR
THE NEW WHITE WAY
Delay in Arrival Of Material i,
Peeving Persons Who
Walk in Dark.

The poles for the new white way
have not arrived and as a conse-
quence the business streets are
still in darkness. Manager Magrud-
er of the Light Company states that
the shipment has left the factory
but cannot be located.
There is quite a bit of good re-
ligion being spilled over the mat
ter and we are in hopes the poles
arrive soon and are placed.

the proposition up to its present
stage. In connection with the lat
ter we can state that only re-
Gently Mr.. j. B. Craig of Liberal,
vice-president of the company, who
is and has been giving gratis many
days and weeks of his time to the
cause, bought from a "blowed-up"
concern in the Ell Dorado field a
big double rig outfit at a saving
of something like $4,000. And
such has been the policy of the COM
pany all. through its two years of
existence. The officers, directors,
and every investor, we might say,
is local man whose interests, heart
and soul, are in the development
of this southwest country. They
have invested their money for an
honest purpose-to make more
money if possible-but should the
enterprise fail through proof that
there is no oil here, they have the
consolation of knowing that they
have lost in a good cause.
Three carloads of drill machinery
and tools have arrived and is be-
ing hauled out to the "spot" by U.
G. Vanderwork and others. Mr..
Craig has been here several days
experimenting the work and Incl
dentally offering the people of
Guymon an opportunity to "get
in" The company is capitalized
for 100000. About 100000 has
been raised, some of which is
still in the treasury, we understand.
1t is Mr.. Craig's idea to raise $780,
900 more at once. With this
amount he can go 1000 feet, or
more if necessary, with no hitch or
delay from lack of funds after
the work of drilling is started. Mr.
Craig firmly believes, however, that
the drill will never go 1000 feet.
The investors in the company
naturally hope that his opinion is
good. Just what the success of
this venture will spell for Guymon
and all concerned is a matter of
conjecture, but we all know what
it has meant to every district
where tests have proven the pres
ence of oil, and it seems the in
vestment Of a few dollars in this
project is worth taking the chance.
