LIBERAL TO USE
MOUNTAIN TIME
When Time Changes This City VIII
Use Mountain Time to Accom-
modate People

When the time changes March 31st
Liberal people will use Mountain
time.
This was decided at a meeting held
at the Chamber of Commerce room
Since Congress failed to repeal the
daylight saving law it would have
been necessary to move the clocks of
the city ahead one hour. This works
a hardship upon the people here, es-
pecially the farmers so it was deemed
advisable to use mountain time.
Thus it will not be necessary to
change the clocks at all. AS mountain
time is advanced an hour it will leave
our clocks as they are by adopting
this time.
When the time changes back in
October it is likely the city will go
back to central time.
There was big crowd out to the
meeting and the vote to adopt Noun
tain time was practically unanimous,
although there were some who pre-
ferred to use this time permanently.

NEW ROAD GRADER COMING

A new road grader for the town
ship is expected this week and will
be put to good use at once. The
road overseer, Guy LeMonnier, has
arrangements, made for a large
amount of road work, and is patient
ly waiting to get busy as soon as the
grader arrives. We are glad to see
Guy put in charge of this work, as
not only knows the road business
thoroughly, but he has the interest
of the public at heart, and the ener-
gy to get results. This township needs
large amount of work done, and
we know of no one who will do more
of it, or better job than Mr.. Le-
Monnier.
If you live on a township road
which needs fixing, see him and you
will get results.

City Council Accepted Bid and Work
Will Start At An Early Date
The final chapter in the paving
proposition has been written, and
every doubt has been removed re-
garding as to whether or not Liberal
will pave.
At their meeting last Friday night
bids were received for the work and a
contract was let. The contract price
was $4.10 per yard for brick paving,
guttering and curbing and excavating.
The total amount of the contract will
be something like 100000.
The area to be paved extends from
the corner on the south side of the
city to the Riggle Bros. grocery on
Kansas avenue and from the Rock
Island depot to Grant avenue on Sec
ond street.
Actual work will begin just as soon
as material and equipment can be
shipped here.
Now watch Liberal grow.

MILLER FAMILIES ARE
RECOVERING FROM FLU

All members Of the j. B. and B. B.
Miller families with the exception of
B. B. Miller, have recovered from
their siege of flu and are able to be
around. B. B. is still confined in the
hospital, but his condition is trifle
more satisfactory than it was the
last of the week. At the present time
there is a good prospect that he will
eventually recover. A trained nurse
came in from Hutchinson the first
of the week to assist in caring for
him. ........
The report gained circulation that
J. B. Miller was dangerously i'll, but
this is erroneous. He was merely at
home looking after the members of
both families.

MEN WILL VISIT LIBERAL
"Victory Special viii Make Stop
Here May 6 on Annual
Trade Trip.

One hundred and twenty-five men,
bers of the Kansas City Chamber of
Commerce will visit Liberal, Kansas,
May 9th, on a train to be known as
the "Victory Specia." 1t will be the
Twenty-eighth Annual Trade Trip of
the Kansas City Chamber.
The tour, lasting six days, will be
an expression of Kansas City's con-
fidence in the future; not only con-
fidence in itself, but confidence in
the great empire of which Kansas
City is part. Liberal will be one
Of the twenty-five towns visited. The
itinerary is 1,449 miles long and in
cludes parts of seven different lines
of railroad. 1t lies in the richest ag-
ricultural part of Kansas, the Pan
handle of Texas, and the oil produc-
ing section of Oklahoma.

WILL START MOVEMENT FOR
HARD SURFACE ROADS HERE
State and Government Aid Make.
Hard Roads Cheaper
Than Dirt

The government now pays half the
cost of hard roads up to $4,000 per
mile.
The State pays half of the balance
up to $4,000 per mile.
The township pays half of the bal
ance, and the benefit district the re-
mainder-but there isn't great deal
of remainder. In fact, it has been fig
ured that the total that will have to
be paid by the land owners in the
benefit district will not be any great
er than the upkeep of the present dirt
roads.
Petitions are now out for paving
from the south line of the city to the
state line, and plans are being made
for road north Of town to connect
with the county road of Meade county
west of old Springfield.
The two petitions will call for some
thing like 16 miles of road. The road
to the state line is to be 18 feet wide
paved with brick, while the stretch
north calls for 9-foot brick roadway
with 4-foot shoulders on either side.
These will be of gravel or other suit
able material.
Not only should these roads be
builded at once, but there are other
sections that should have good roads.
The Government and State have
started the road building program
with a view to giving employment to
discharged soldiers, and who can say
that when conditions become normal
again the great aid given by the Gov
ernment will not be withdrawn.
If we can have hard surface roads
that will permit of traffic at maxium
speed every day in the year at cost
of keeping up dirt roads which are at
their best but small part, of the
year, it is only good business judg.
ment to build them.
Anyone interested in hard surface
roads will find at the Griffith &
Baughman office a booklet showing
the roads, together with information
concerning them. These booklets arr
free for the asking.
The Democrat would like to see the
farmers themselves start the goot
road proposition in Seward county
We know the Seward county farmer
is just as intelligent, and as progres-
sive as any in the country, and we
believe that if they will give the mat
ter some thought and make a thor
ough investigation they will become
good roads boosters.
The first corners will have the pref
erence in the distribution of this
Government aid and it behooves Sc
ward county to get busy and not let
some other section get busy and COB
BILE up the fund. We need the roads
here a great deal more than many
other places, and it is only through
a spirit of cooperation among the
farmers that we can get them.

WAR RELICS ON DISLAY
ATTRACT MUCH ATTENTION
James Woods Sends Helmet. and Ga,
Masks From France

The display of war relics in the
Griffith & Baughman window is at
tracing much attention. Besides the
fine officers helmet mentioned last
week, there are German helmets and
gas Masks sent from France by
James Woods, son of C. E. Woods of
the First National Bank. A number
of other relics were loaned the firm
by Robert Levi. These were sent him
by relative who is with the army in
France. There is also an American
gas mask, as well as a number of pic
lures of scenes in the Allied countries.
On the whole the collection is most
interesting and has been viewed by
hundreds of people.

NEW RAILROAD FROM
LIBERAL TO FORGAN
Charter Has Been Granted And
Surveyors Will Start Work
At Once

A charter has been granted by
Secretary of State L. j. Pettijohn to
the Kansas & Oklahoma Railroad
company which will construct and
maintain a railroad from Liberal,
Kansas, to Forgan, Oklahoma, and to
a point on the Texas state line south
of Liberal The charter was asked
by o. P. Byers, the railroad builder
and a few Oklahoma men and num-
ber of business men of this city.
This pproject has been under con-
sideration for several months by Mr..
Byers. He had from time to time in
formed the Chamber of Commerce of
his activities and he has the solid
support of that body with him in this
venture of building railroad. The
other day Mr.. Byers and his son, who
lives south of Liberal, were in town
and secured the rooms in the Smith
Brothers building, formerly occupied
by the Liberal Telephone company.
This will be the offices for the sur
veyors which are expected this week,
and the headquarters for Mr.. Byers
when in town.
The surveyors will do preliminary
work during the next few weeks and
will establish the route for the pro-
posed roads.
Mr.. Byers has been spending con-
siderable time and thought on this
project and has all the plans ready to
present to those who will be bene-
fitted by the road. Insofar as Lib
eral is concerned he will have all the
aid possible to offer. The success Of
the early building of the road lies with
those in Oklahoma who it will benefit.

DUBOIS & MARTIN NOW

The removal of the Jarrett jew

better opportunity to display their
stock.
This store has always been among
the leaders in Liberal and the south
west and with more floor space can
carry larger stock and better serve
their patrons.
Gene Martin, one of orr boys who
helped put the kaiser on the run, is
again with the firm, and his expert
ence in the clothing bushes is a val
liable asset to the store.

CASH WATERS BUYS o.
THE WHITE HOUSE
Expects to Build Commodious Brick
Building in Near
Future


Future
Cash Waters this week purchased
the White House on West Second
street. He will continue to rent the
building as at present.
However, Mr.. Waters does not ex-
pect to have the present building a
great while. To a Democrat reporter
he said he would sometime build a
two story brick where the building
now stands
Mr.. Waters erected the first con-
crete building in Liberal the Keystone
hotel, which at that time was way in
advance of anything in town. Later
when the south side began to build
up be built the first brick south Of the
track. He has habit of looking ahead
to see the good things coming to the
town, and has been successful.
This leads us to believe that he will
go through with his plans to put Q
substantial building on West Second
street.

of this work in addition to the COM
pletion of his own home. However,
Mr.. Hancock is one of the building
contractors which usually gets re-
suits, and we expect to see a number
of buildings completed this season
thru his efforts.
