Liberal machinists are taking a

as usual.

No work is being done except what
foreman and freight is moving very
slowly.
The machinists are no doubt in
position to make their demands stick
They have been worked almost to
death during the past year and have
consequently drawn considerable
overtime money and should be in
shape financially to stay out long
enough to make themselves neces-
sity. This with the scarcity of
skilled mechanics leave them with
the situation we'll in hand.
"Those engines will run while"
we heard a man remark on the street
a few days ago, "but they are not
going to hold out long without being
worked over"
And the gentleman knew what he
was talking about, too. When the
engines begin breaking down traffic
is going to suffer and it is doubtful
if all passenger trains can be run.
Just what the outcome will be no
one seems able to guess. With the
roads losing money it would seem
that the wage demand could not be
met, but on the other hand we can
not get along without trains. The
situation is acute, but not nearly so
much as ID will be in a week if thu
strike continues.

LITTRELL SELLS THE
COZY BARBER SHOP

The Cozy barber shop on North
Kansas avenue, was sold this week,
by Joe Littrell to John Moles of Dal-
las, Texas, who is in charge of the
business.
Mr.. Littrell has conducted the Cozy
for the past two and half years and
has had fine business and was
prospering, but on account of his
health which has been poor since an
attack Of the flu, he felt that he
must go to a different climate. He
has been a sufferer from hay fever
and the flu seemed to aggravate the
malady.
The Democrat regrets to see this
family leave Liberal and Joe says he
regrets to go as he knows he cannot
find better town than Liberal, but
for the above reason is going to make
the change. We hope he finds
good location and regains his health
and should he ever feel like coming
back will find a welcome awaiting
him.

NOTHING NEW REGARDING
OIL TEST WEST OF TOWN

H. H. McQuigg, who is in charge
of the oil test west of town informs
the Democrat that there are no de-
velopments in the situation as re-
CARDS that proposition.
He says the crew is still twork
cleaning up the machinery, and that
were it not for the interest shown
by few of the land owners in the
vicinity of the test the work of dis
mantleing the rig would be under
way.
We are afraid that the opportuni-
ty to get test west of Liberal is
slipping. This should not be so, but
if the land owners refuse to lease
this can be expected.
We were in hopes this test would
be made as we could know quickly
what is beneath the ground, while
if we wait for another test to be
started it will delay matters several
months longer.

WILL TAKE THE FIRST
VACATION IN IL YEARS

Auctioneer Bob. Dickerson will
leave the l4th for a trip thru Mis-
souri, and Iowa, on the first vacation
he has ever taken since starting out
as an auctiineer in Liberal twelve
years ago.
With his family he will make the
trip in his car, and will be accom-
panied by Henry Ansmus and family.
They will return to Liberal the first
week in September, when Bob will
again be available to cry sales. Dur
ing his absence he has arranged with
Col. Barmore and Col. Stamper to
look after his customers, and has in
structed US to date sales with these
gentlemen.
Bob says he intended to take this
trip during harvest when there were
no sales, but that help was so scarce
he went to the harvest field and gave
it up. The hard grind he has been
undergoing, and the hard work of
harvest has told on him and he found
it necessary to take a rest
He has cried n lot of sales in this
country in the last twelve years and
every year sees better business.
He has proven proficient as a sales
man and his services are in demand.
Any business in connection with
the dating of sales in which Bob is
interested will be promptly handled
at this office while he is away.

Owing to the tie-up of freight the
tent for the Holiness Camp Meeting
has not arrived and as a conse-
quence the services will be held on
the lawn at the M. E. Church in
nice weather and in the building
when it is bad.

Those having charge of the ser
vices will be DR.. Harmon who was

burg, Oregon, and Brother and Sis
ter Mccoy, who had charge of the

These meetings constitute an event
that is awaited with pleasant anti

organization is fortunate again this
year in securing well-known ana
well liked people to conduct these
meetings and unusual interest is ex-
pected.
A general invitation is extended to
all people to come and hear the mes
sages brought by these good people,
and special treat is promised in the
musical service.
This has ben a good year in this
country and a large unmber from the

LIBERAL CREAMERY is
MAKING GOOD SHOWING
Institution Getting on Its Feet And
Running to a Nice
Profit

c. B. Jensen, manager of the
Equity Creamery has sent out let
ter to the stockholders of the insti-
tuition stating that in July the
creamery made a profit of $1,538, a
good showing indeed.
According to former letters sent
out, the business has been showing a
nice profit for the past several
months. 1t is being conservatively
managed and there is no reason why
it should not prove a paying invest
ment.
According to the letter if all the
stockholders will pay for their stock
and take the additional share there
will be profits to pro-rate to those
who bring their business to the
creamery.
The creamery is a big asset to
Liberal and the surrounding country
and we are glad it is coming out of
the kinks.
Manager Jensen is a hard worker
and a good business man and be-
sides he has the interest of the ms
titution at heart. He believes in the
thing he is doing and under his man
agement the interests of the stock
holders will be carefully looked after.

PAVING CREW ALMOST
LIKE VAUDEVILLE SHOW
Colored Workers, Full of Fun, Fur
nish Amusement for
Onlookers

The work of the paving crew is
daily atched by dozens of people who
take a few moments off to see the
work and the antics of the colored
men who are doing it.
While the work is heavy these fell
lows do not seem to mind it in the
least, and there is something going on
most of the time they await their
turn to load or unload. When the
load is of they fly into the sand pile
like mad, get ready for their turn
and then there are boxing matches,
and all sorts of antics.
They seem to be a good natured
bunch and at the same time keep up
with their work. Since it has been a
custom in Liberal from the time the
town started, to discourage colored
folks from locating here, they are
something of novelty, However
when the work is finished, it is hoped
they will respect the wishes of the
people here and return to their home.
While they are on the job they are
treated courteously by everybody, |
but the opinion seems to be practi-
cally unanimous that this is not the
time for the town to depart from its
ong established custom Of discour-
aging their permanent residence

SEWARD COUNTY OIL &
GAS co. SELLING STOCK
Will Raise Money For Deep Test
North of Liberal Among
Home People.

The Seward County Oil G. Gas
Company has an advertisement in
this issue of the Democrat that ev-
cry citizen of this county and the
nearby counties should read. The
company makes a showing of its
property and recites its intentions.
1t is governed by home people, and
should there be oil or gas found the
home people will benefit.
For several years some of the
members of the company has been
working on this plan, being reason
ably sure that there is oil here, and
within reach. They have spent much
time and money in securing data and
from all the indications the oppor-
tunities for finding oil here appear
to be as certain as any place before
the drill brought the truth. One of
the members of the company has To-
Gated many wells in the last past ten
years and in very few instances has
he failed in finding oil where he has
elected the drill to start work.
Doubtless everyone in and around
Liberal would like to see a test we'll
in this district, and many would have
heretofore given support in an eff
fort to have drill at work if the
investors could be assured that the
drill would go a certain depth and
that the log of the hole would not be
kept in the dark. The personnel of
the company being all home people,
who are responsible, and just as eag-
er as you are in seeing the test made,
should remove all doubt regarding
the proposition.
Perhaps it would not be betraying
any special confidence in relating
that when the data for the company
was spread before the "Blue Sky"
board, one of the members of the
board stated that the company's
proposition is clean and a safe one
for anyone who desires to lend sup
port.
\ Anyone can buy shares. They will
Re sold in any amount from 25 shares
'hp at $1.0O per share. Should the
well prove to be a dry one the loss
would not be much and if the drill
should find oil and gas-you may
guess on your profits and we'll also
permit you to speculate on what such
an occurrence would do for this
county and the town of Liberal.
The company simply wants the
support of the people of this COM
munity. What are you going to do
about it?

Ind time the local fire company has
d this arrangement with Mr. Bybee
End say their former dealings with
him were highly satisfactory.
The Bybee Stock Company needs

and his company have played in Lib
eral several times previously and not
only have they given good shows, but
have proven themselves a dandy good
bunch of people.
Companies like Bybee's can always
draw good business in Liberal, and
this seasons patronage should be the
largest they have ever had here.

is FOOD AGITATION
MERELY A BLUFF

From reading the reports from
Washington one would be lead to be.
lieve that q great effort is to be
made to reduce the high cost of liv-
ing. What we would like to know
is whether the movement is genuine
or merely bluff.
The reason for our suspicion lies
in the fact that the movement leads
back to the price of wheat. Just
why wheat should be the basis of at
tack is not plain to us, Perhaps we
are not competent to speak, but it
appears that all this talk about wheat
is calculated to lead from the source
of the trouble rather than to it.
A proposition has been made that
the price of wheat be reduced, the
government to stand the loss be-
tween the price paid the farmer and
the price guaranteed by the govern
ment, and this seems absurd Just
how the cost of living would be re-
duced by the government taking a
dollar out of one pocket and putting
it into another is not plain.
If the farmer receives 50 per bush
ell for his wheat the two dollars must
be paid If the difference between
the price and the guarantee is paid
from the U. S. Treasury will not the
people eventually have to pay it just
the same?
And, after all, why bother with the
price of wheat?
And, is not bread the least eX-
oensive of all other items of the meal
you daily sit down to?
"A ten cent loaf of bread will be
ample for meal for family of six.
Even if loaf is used three times a
lay it amounts to 80 cents. Reduce
he cost twenty-five per cent and !
you have saved seven and a half
.ents on the bread bill for the day -,
That would help lot, wouldn't it? !
We are of the opinion that bread
ould be cheaper and still pay two
lollars for wheat if the big mllers
ould be regulated and the market d
eliminated from the wheat r
market. U
But there are lot of things be- a
ides bread that need regulating and il
{ an honest effort is made this can
e done without disturbing the wheat
rice. We can afford to pay the a
even and half cents per day for t
ur bread if our meat and other pro- h
isiOns are reduced as they can be. j
Meat is a much greater item than t
read, and it begins to look to us like Ii
he great cry about wheat is being o
lade to draw attention from the in a
Justices of the packing industry. n
To simplify our statements it looks p
Ike politics were being injected into b
he food probe at the start of the a
ame. b
