TWO INSTITUTES
FOR next week
ONE AT LODI, THE
OTHER AT GRANGER
Eminent State Speakers Will Give
Addresses At Both
Institutes.

Two farmers Institutes are sched-
uled for next week. Lodi will hold
the first on Monday and Tuesday,
Feb. 10 and II, and Granger will be
in session on Friday and Saturday,
Feb. IA and Is. Both places are
planning on the best institute yet
held and present indications are that
they will succeed.
The speakers furnished by the state
will be the same at both meetings.
Miss Woods, who discusses subjects
of interest to the home, has been
heard in this county at the Institutes
held during January. There are only
two women from out of the state en-
ployed as institute speakers and Miss
Woods is one of them. She is Penn
sylvania farm woman and has the
farm view point. She was educated
at Ohio Wesleyan university and then
entered Ohio State university and
graduated from the course in Home
Economics. She has had experience
in the teaching field and has been an
extension worker in West Virginia.
She is practical and sympathetic and
speaks in such way that she leaves
no doubt in the minds of her hearers.
She will speak at both the Lodi and
Granger Institutes. ..
Few men have so firm a grip on the
breeding and feeding questions as
Paul McNish is said to possess. Ev-
erybody in his home county knows
him and calls him "Paul". He travels
in fast company in the Holstein world.
The prices he pays and receives for
fashionable blood lines seems incredi-
BILE to the uninitiated. All his COWS
are purebred and tested Mr.. Nc
Nish is the man who knows dairy
cows and how to tell others about
them. His home is at Burton, Geauga
county, where he maintains herd of
Holstein cattle.
The third speaker coming is J.. A.
Hummon of Leipsic, Putnam county.
Mr.. Hummon owns splendid farm
in Putnam county-a genuine busi-
ness farm, the product of his own
brain and hand. He INDUCES in no
flights of fancy, but is a real teacher,
drawing constantly from his large
4 fund Of experience. He will speak
both days at Lodi and Granger.
On account Of recurrence of flu at
Sharon, it has been deemed advisable
to cancel the Independent institute
scheduled for Saturday, Feb. s.

WILL DRILL DEEP TEST
NORTHWEST OF LIBERAL
Seward County Oil & Gas Company
is Chartered and Ready For
Business

A charter has been granted the
Seward County Oil & Gas company
and preparations are being made to
drill deep test near Liberal.
The first well will be located on
the CA. Sealey farm, the northeast
quarter of section 20.
Part of the rig is on the ground
and we are informed that as soon as
the balance of the material arrives
drilling will be started.
The company is composed of Sew
ard county people and some good,
strong men are members of the board
of directors.
Geo. M. Hunter is president, H. W..
Magruder, vice-president, Jennie
Karau, Secretary, and w. o. Woods,
treasurer. These with C. A. Sealy
and W. G. Harnden, compose the
board of directors.
The company owns 10000 acres of
leases and there is no promotion
stock, everyone sharing alike in pro-
portion to number of shares owned.
The proposition has been favor
ably reported by the "blue sky"
board.
The company has some excellent
acreage in this county and if there
is anything here they should be able
to get it.
We can only find out what is
under the surface by drilling a hole
and this company should receive the
support and encouragement of To-
cal people.
An oil boom would mean whole
lot to this county and now is nigh
ty good time to see whether or not
we are ever going to have one.
A glance at the list of men be-
hind the movement should convince
anyone that their interests will be
carefully guarded and that if produc-
tion is secured they will get the full
benefit of their investment.
Boost the company and let us have
a test as soon as possible.

TEN INCHES OF SNOW
FELL IN A FEW HOURS
Heaviest Snow Storm in Years Wis.
tied This Section Last
Friday.

Just when the weather man hac
gotten us to thinking that spring was
close at hand he pushed the wrong
lever and snow storm, the like of
which has not been seen here in
years, if ever before, swooped down
upon us last Friday.
The flakes were large and they
fell so thick that it was almost i'm
possible to see across the street at
times. There was no wind and the
snow covered the ground evenly. The
next day the sun started melting it
and while there is still little snow
it has largely disappeared.
The roads which were just begin
ming to become in a passable condi-
tion are about as bad as ever. Busi-
ness has slowed down and threshing
has been stopped entirely.
However the wheat has not been
damaged by the moisture and the
ground is soaked as never before.
Look out for a bumper wheat crop
this spring.

DISTRICT COURT IN
SESSION THIS WEEK
Heavy Criminal and Civil Docket
Smell Case in Progress at
This Time.

The district court convened Tues
day morning with Hon. C. E. Vance
of Garden City presiding for the first
time in Liberal.
The docket is an unusually heavy
one with many important cases, both
criminal and civil, to be tried.
Probably the most important case
on the docket is that of the State
VS.. j. A. Smell, growing out of the
shooting of James Calvert a few
miles east of town June 30th last.
Smell is charged with murder in
the first degree and has entered a
general plea of mot guilty" The
county attorney is being assisted by
G. W. Sawyer of this city on behalf
of the State.
Examination of the jury began
Tuesday noon and was completed
Wednesday afternoon. The States
case is not yet completed, but evil
dence has been introduced tending to
show that Calvert was shot in the
thigh with double barred shotgun.
The state contends that Smell shot
Calvert when Calvert attempted to
induce Smell to give him a drink. 1t
has also been shown that a man by
the name of Martin was with Calvert
and Smell at the time, but that he
was so drunk he knew nothing of the
shooting.
Attorneys for the defense, Hon.
John W. Davis of Greensburg and F.
S. Macy of this city, said today that
the defense would be self defense,
and that they were well satisfied with
the progress of the trial to the pres
ent time.
AS we go to press the state has ap-
parently about concluded with its
evidence.

ANOTHER BUSINESS CHANGE
TOOK PLACE THIS WEEK
c. w. Finley Buys Liberal Undertake
ing Co.-Consolidates
With Miller.

An important business deal was
completed today whereby c. w. Fin
ley, former Register of Deeds, pur-
chased the interest of Guy P. Bel
ford and David Curtis in the Liberal
Undertaking Company establishment.
When this transaction was COM
pleted Mr.. Finley and S. A. Miller
got together and made deal where
by the two businesses were consoli-
dated.
The business will be conducted un-
der the name of the Liberal Under
taking Company. Mr.. Finley will at
tend to the business interests of the
firm and the monument business,
while Mr.. Miller will look after the
embalming and funeral arrange
ments.
Mr.. Finley has a host of friends
who will be glad to know that he
has engaged in business and will re-
main in Liberal, and his entrance to
the business circles of the city will
mean another booster for the best
town in Kansas.
Mr.. Miller has built up good bust
ness since locating here and with the
consolidation and consequent curtail-
ment of expense the firm should do
well.
With Mr.. Finley in the office and
Mr.. Miller devoting his time to the
professional work the new firm
should be able to give service equal
to that of any city in the country.

Company E, X. N. G., were guests
of Manager LeMonnier at the Ma
jestic last night. He had serured a
war play especially for the occasion
and invited the entire Guard mem
bership to see it at his expense.
Those present who were not fami-
liar with the fact were somewhat
startled when the tramp, tramp,
tramp of the Guardsmen was heard,
and when they marched down the
aisles.
The play was "For Valor" and had
to do with girl who made great
sacrifices that her brother might go
to the front. The brother became a
hero, while she who had endured so
much and who influenced him so
strongly died unknown and in OBJ
scurity.
