ATTENTION KNITTERS

Do you know that the Red Cross
still has knitting to be done? A quo
ia of 1876 pairs of children's stock
ings and SO children's sweaters was
assigned us in March. Altho some
workers have made as many as nine
pairs of stockings apiece, the yarn
is not being called for as it should
be. Seward county has never fallen
down yet, in any production work,
and we must not fail on this quota,
which will no doubt be the last one
we will ever have. We just shipped
out 300 muslin garments which
closed the work in the garment de-
partment. The surgical dressing
work was closed in November with
the signing of the armistice.
Mrs. Molter, who was an efficient
chairman Of the knttink work, has
resigned Mrs. Scandrett, who so
faithfully discharged her duties as
chairman of the garment work, from
the opening of that department until
the close, has consented to act as
chairman of the knitting. She will
give out yarn to those who wish it,
along with printed directions for
making either the stockings or the
sweaters. The Red Cross room will
be open each Saturday afternoon for
the receiving of finished work and
for the giving out of yarn and in

NEW MUSIC PRODUCED
BY A LIBERAL AUTHOR

Five pieces of new sheet music are
the product of a Liberal author-mu-
sician, both the words and music be-
ing composed by Arthur V. Stark, of
the Stark Music House. Two of
these, "Welcome Home, Laddie
Boy" and Meath the Poppies
They're Sleeping" are already on
the market. The former is song
voicing loyal American sentiment,
and the latter remembrance of the
home boys who fell in Flanders field.
Tn Fancy-A Rose" waltz song
with violin obligato, Memories of
Home and You," song reverie, and
"The Girl in Calico" novelty song
and pianologue, are the other three
which are not yet off the press, but
expected from the publishers within

The sentiment of all these are in
keeping with the times, and will no
doubt be appreciated by the musical
public.

ELIZABETH ANNE WRIGHT

Elizabeth Anne Sargent was born
March 9th, 1845, in Greene county,
Indiana, and departed this life May
10th, 1919, at her home on West
Second street. Mrs. Wright received
fall which resulted in broken hip
more than two years ago and has
been practically an invalid ever
since, taking a change for worse
about three weeks ago.
At the age of Is years she moved
with her parents to Iowa. Decem-
Der 18th, 1867, she was united in
marriage to Chas. R. Wright and to
them seven children were born, all
of whom survive their mother. Mr..
Wright, who was at one time county
attorney of Beaver county, preceded
her December 18th, 1909.
In July, 1888 the Wrights moved
to Stevens county, Kansas, where
they resided until 1892 when they
moved to their farm a few miles
southeast of the city, and in May,
1906 they moved to Liberal.
Mrs. Wright was indeed a pioneer
woman, having endured the hard
ships of three pioneer periods, in
Indiana, Iowa and southwestern Kan
sas.
Elizabeth Wright was known by
all the old timers and was ever much
respected as a mother, friend, neigh
Dor and companion.
She was much for making the
home attractive and was in the true
sense a mother. She was an indie
fatigable reader and therefore was
ever entertaining to those who were
privileged to be guest at her home.
Mrs. Wright's children all of whom
live in Liberal with the exception of
Mrs. L. J. Petijohn and Ray Wright,
were present at the funeral, which
occurred at the home May goth, Rev.
Wilkinson of the Methodist church
having charge. The pail bearers were
representatives of the families of old
time friends.
The floral tributes were many and
beautiful, typifying the high regard
and esteem in which Mrs. Wright
was held by her friends both old and
new

WINS OUT IN
FIGHT FOR COUNTY SEAT
Railroad Town Receives a Majority
of 1856 out of 676 Votes in
Special Election

Santa Fe has lost its fight to con-
tinue as the smallest county seat in
Kansas. In the special election Sub
lette won the county seat by ma
jority of 1876, carrying Santa Fe pre-
cinct by two votes.
j. S. Patrick, an abstracter of
Santa Fe, who was defeated in the
district in an effort to get out an
injunction restraining the moving of
the county records to Sublette has
carried the matter to the supreme

grounds that the law providing fol
the election is unconstitutional.
Subiette is located on the D. c.
