o. r. YOUNG RAISED
A GIANT SQUASH
1t is on Display in the Griffith &
Baughman Window-It
Weighs 63 pounds.

A gigantic squash weighing 63
pounds is on display in the window
of Griffith & Baughman real estate
firm.
The squash was raised by 0. R.
Young, northeast of Liberal. The
Democrat has suggestion in this
connection. We are told that Mr..
Young has many large specimens
at his place and we think it would
be a good idea to have some of
our good pie makers bake lot
of good pies for the soldier boys
to eat with their beef on Armistice
day.
The Democrat knows of several
ladies in town who are experts on
pumpkin pies and if Mr.. Young can
be prevailed upon to part with
enough squashes the rest should be
easy.

GARDNER PURCHASES
GOOD BUSINESS LOTS
Old Lampe Barn to be a Thing of
the Past as Result of Transfer
of Property.

L. V, Gardner has purchased the
three lots owned by VIM. Lampe
corner Second and Lincoln, and as
soon as possible will raze the old
livery barn, meaning that the ap-
pearance of that part of Liberal
will be greatly improved.
These are very choice lots and
are bound to be valuable property
before many years. The business
district already extends more than
a block beyond in both directions
and there is much traffic on both
Lincoln and Second streets passing
the location.
We have heard several rumors
as to the intention of Mr.. Gardner
but were unable to see him per-
sonally. 1t is presumed that the
purchase will eventually mean the
erection of another modern bust
ness building, but this is conjecture.
We do know the old barn which
of late years has become something
of an eyesore will be torn down
before a great while.

A NATIONAL RAILROAD
ACCIDENT PREVENTION DRIVE
October lS to 81 To Pass Without
Railroad Accidents if
Possible.

The Safety Section United States
Railroad Administration have in
stituted a National Railroad Ac-
cident Prevention Drive to begin at
1901 a. M, October 18th and end
at midnight, October 31st, and dur
ing this period two million men,
employees of 1877 railroads covering
approximately $4,000 miles will
concentrate their every effort to go
through the period mentioned with
out having an injury among them
while on duty. This National
Drive" follows a Regional Drive re-
Gently closed and in which a most
record was made in the
reduction of casualties~ and fatali-
ties on railroads under federal con-
troll. The Central Western Region
in which the Rock Island Lines are
located shows a decrease in 1919
over the same period of 1918 of
1896 per cent and it is anticipat-
ed that on the entire seven regions
who will take part in he "National
Drive" this already high per cent
age will be increased by a notice
able margin.
The "National Drive" centers
primarily among railroad men but
it is the desire of the employees
of the Rock Island Lines to go
further in their efforts to conserve
life and limb and enlist the sup
port and cooperation of the vari-
Gus authorities and civic bodies,
automobile clubs, business men, citi-
zens and school children in the
cities and through which the Rock
Island Lines run.

VICKERS TO BUILD NEW
MODREN GARAGE BUILDING
Work on Structure to Start Next
Week. Company Will Conduct
the Business.

Liberal is soon to have another
large automobile business.
A company has been organized
for the purpose of selling cars and
conducting general automobile
business and will have as their To-
cation new modern building
35x80 which is being built for them
by W. H. Vickers on the lots south
of the Vickers Grain G. Seed Com
pany buildings. The structure will
have plate glass front and will
be. modern in every particular.
The new institution has not as
yet been given name but the bust
ness will be managed by Marion
Hays and Roy Lyman!
Mr.. Hayes is well known here,
having ben manager of the Equity
Exchange for some time. Mr.. Ly-
nam came to Liberal a few months
ago and has made quite a number
of acquaintance.
Associated with them will be
several other young business men
of the city and it will be a strong
organization.
They will handle several good cars
as well as trucks, tractors, supplies,
accessories, etc.
They have secured the services
of H. W. Begley, who will have
charge of the repair department.
Mr.. Begley has lived here the past
four years and is at present con-
Quoting an auto repair business. He
is known as a mechanic of ability
and is a good man for the place.
Work will start on the building
some time next week and work will
be rushed so the new company can
get started as soon as possible.
With strong financial backing,
good location and competent man
agement there is no reason why they
should not make a great success.

BAPTIST CHURCH

Last Sunday was a great day at
Jhe> Baptist Church. The members
and. friends of the church assembled
fot gorship in the morning, enjoyed
a good dinner together at noon, and
again assembled for an afternoon
meeting. In this meeting sixteen
hundred and seventy dollars was
raised, chiefly to complete the pay
ment of the parsonage which was
purchased a year ago. This amount
was raised in spite of the fact that
some of the most substantial finan-
cial supporters were compelled to
be absent. Their added contribution
will raise the amount to $4,000 or
more.
The pastor is indeed proud of
the people for their generous CIV
ing.
Regular services will be held next
Sabbath. Morning worship at II
o'clock; evening worship at 1880.
In the absence of the pastor, who
is attending the state convention,
Rev. A. W. hide will supply the
pulpit both morning and evening.
A cordial invitation to all.

DODGE CITY WON FROM
LIBERAL HIGH SCHOOL
Two Good Teams Battled For Su-
Premacy Last Friday.-Luck and
Referee Both With Dodge.

The Liberal High School foot ball
team went to Dodge City last Fri
day and mixed up with the H. S..
bunch of that place. The game
was good from start to finish, with
Liberal exhibiting a trife more pep
and skill than Dodge.
However both teams played well
and were reasonably we'll balanced,
The score was 6 to 0 in favor of
Dodge.
Early in the game Dodge, thru a
streak of genuine luck, went over
for touchdown, but failed to kick
goal. Twice Liberal was almost
over but could not make the final
gain. When the game closed the
Liberal boys were on the three yard
line going strong, but time was
called before they could get across.
One thing that was to the disad-
vantage of the Liberal boys was the
work of the referee. He was not
up on the rules and penalized the
Liberal team twice when he should
not have done So
If anyone doubted that Liberal
has real foot ball team he should
have seen this game. They made a
game fight right up to the very last,
and had it not been for the fact
that two of the best players on the
team were out for repairs they
could have walked all over the
Dodge team.
We are. hoping to see the Dodge
boys come down here for a game
soon.

ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL FUND

When promised Governor AL
len to be County chairman of this
fund, | did SO, knowing the people
of Seward County always respond
to every patriotic call. Our quota
for the county is $l,200.00. The
campaign begins October goth, and
is nationwide in its scope and all
ministers are asked to preach
memorial sermon, October 10Th. l
hope and expect our ministers to
respond
The money will be used for three
memorial purposes A monument in
Washington, d. c., making a park
of Sycamore Hill and establishing
a Roosevelt Foundation.
The school children are expect
ed to give 5 cents each and their
gifts apply on our quota in this
county. Mr.. Fred Seaman of To-
peka, has entire charge of raising
money in the schools.
| have asked Warren thinner
man to be Treasurer for our county
and receive and remit to the State
treasurer, Albert H. Denton of
Arkansas City, all money received.
Donations must be cash and let
us begin now, to walk "over the
top" ahead of other counties
Do not wait to be solicited, but
go to the treasurer and make your
gift, in appreciation of the life of
this Great American.
| think Liberal can raise $4,000
and the other part of the county,
the remaining $4,000.
There will be a city chairman
and chairmen of different COM
munties and precinct chairmen and
a big pull, altogether will win.
The names of these chairmen will
be in the papers, next week.

RED CROSS WILL GIVE
BARBECUE ARMISTICE DAY
Soldiers Will Get Beef, Bread and
Coffee and a Good Time
All are Invited

All are Invited
Liberal will have a barbecue on
Armistice Day!
The other night when the exc
cutive committee of the Seward
county Red Cross Chapter was in
session to attend to some business
matters, the proposition of when,
how and where the next soldiers
homecoming should be celebrated,
and after some discussion it was de-
cided to select a few choice beeves
and have barbecue on the
eleventh day of November, Armis-
tice Day.
The plans for preparing this event
will be in the hands of 7. w. Cav,
chairman and his committee of the
canteen department of the Red
Cross. This committee will see that
the soldier boys secure the beef,
bread and the coffee, but all other
visitors should bring their bread
and furnish the cups for coffee.
There will be plenty of beef for all.
The only proposition that the COM
mittee does not care to bother
about is the furnishing bread for
everyone who might be present.
But the soldier boys will have the
undivided attention of the COM
mittee.
While the Red Cross is sponsor
for the plan to have the barbecue,
the responsibility does not lie en-
tirely with the officers of the organ
ization. There are hundreds of Red
Gross members in the city and the
county, who should become interest
ed in the plan to such an extent
as to make the celebration one of
the great events in the history of
the county.
Remember that the committee of
which Mr. Graw is chairman will
need some choice beeves and if
you know where they may be Sc
cured at a reasonable price let
him know.
Under the present plans this event
will draw a great crowd to Liberal
and that is one of the reasons why
W barbecue was planned. A pro-
gram for the day will be announc-
ed later

GARAGE SCENE
OF FIRE THURSDAY NOON
Blaze Started in Battery Room,
Building and Contents Con-
siderably Damaged

Prompt work by the Liberal Fire
Department no doubt prevented a
serious fire Thursday about noon.
Fire was discovered in the bat
terry room at the Borderland Trail
Garage conducted by W. C. Ander-
son. The blaze had already gained
considerable headway before dis
covered and only the prompt arrival
of the fire boys saved the building.
The supposition is that the fire
was caused by the electric wire,
but this is not known to be the
case.
The roof of the building was
damaged, the stock and fixtures
were given a good soaking and the
interior of the structure was also
damaged.

WORK COMMENCED ON OIL
RIG NORTH OF LIBERAL.
Material on the Ground and Work
men Are Now Constructing
the Derrick.

The materials has been hauled
out for the derrick being erected
by the Seward County Oil & Gas
Company north of Liberal, and
workmen are now engaged in the
work of erection.
The contract has been signed for
the well and work of raising funds
for the test are under way. Just
as soon as the funds are deposited
and the rig completed the we'll
will be spudded in.
While there have been number
of nice stock sales we are inform
ed that buying is not as brisk as
had been hoped. While there is no
doubt of the stock all being taken
it is feared that if it does not go
faster than at present the starting
of the work will be delayed.
This should not be. This is a
home company and they have. just
as good a wildcat proposition as
there is in the country, and since
the well is right here at home and
the money will be handled by home
men there is no reason why the
people of Seward county should not
get squarely behind the company in
their effort.
If this country is tested the
people must give them en-
couragement and show their faith
in the proposition. When a stranger
comes in and puts up dollar for
dollar with the home people to get
a well it would seem nothing but
good business to assist in meeting
him half way.
Just as well join the boosters,
and when Seward County becomes a
producing oil field you will have
the satisfaction of knowing that
you were among those who made
it possible

Mrs. Fisher is here from California

Liberal High School Plays at Guy

Liberal High School will meet
the team of Guymon High School
on the Guymon gridiron Friday
afternoon in what promises to be
one of the most hotly contested
games of the season.
That everyone who desired might
sc the game arrangements has been
made to run a special train to
Guymon and return on the day.
The train will leave Liberal at
l o'clock and returning will leave
Guymon at 8 o'clock.
Already more than a hundred
have signifed their intention of ac-
companying the team arid it is
expected this number will be more
than doubled.
Liberal has already met the
strongest teams in this part of the
state and made a wonderful show
ing and while the boys realize
they are going to have no easy
task they feel that they will win
the game.
Everyone who is a booster or
should be a booster for the High
School team should be on the special
train when it whistles out Friday
afternoon.

PETITION OUT FOR PAVING
OF GRANT AVENUE
Residents of that Aevenue Want
the Benefit of the Improve
ments.

We are informed that a petition
is being circulated on Grant Avenue
asking that the avenue be paved.
Since Lincoln and Sherman petit
tions hape been accepted by the
council the folks over on Grant
do not want to be between two
paved streets and travel in the mud
and consequently got out a petit
tion.
We have been unable to learn
what progress has been made, but
from the fact that some of the
better homes of the city are on
Grant it would seem an easy mat
ter to get the signatures needed.
