ELECTION CALLED TO VOTE
BONDS FOR NEW RAILROAD
Proposal to Issue $4,000 Terminal
Bonds to Be Submitted
to Voters.

Several times in the past the peo-
pie of Liberal and Seward county
have been asked to vote bonds for
proposed railroads, the bonds have
been voted, and conditions have aris-
en- which made construction impossi-
BILE.
Two years ago the C. X. & o..
threatened to build through Seward
county, bonds were voted, survey
made-and then the war shut off
finances and the proposition died.
Still, the boosters have never Civ
en- up the idea of another railroad,
and now the people are again asked
to register their approval of bond
issue for the purpose of attracting a
ragS road which is proposed to run
from Liberal to Forgan, Oklahoma.
On the face of the proposition it
may not seem to the average citizen
that this road is going to amount to a
great deal as concerns Liberal and
Seward county, but upon second
thought, it will be readily seen that
such is not the case.
This line, even though. it should
only connect Liberal and Forgan,
will mean much to the development
of the country as we'll as the towns
of Liberal and Forgan.
Were conditions different the
building of the line might be a mis-
take, but the salient feature to be
gained is the connecting of two rail-
road systems.
At the present time Liberal has
but one road, but with this short line
it will have easy access to the lines
south, by connecting with the Wichi-
ia Falls line at Forgan. This will
give US real railroad competition,
competition which will mean lot to
the farmer and the man of the cities
affected.
It will open up vast territory for
wholesale business out of Liberal and
help build up big institutions here,
as we'll as affording the farmer a
southern outlet for his product.
Fhe charter has already beer
gra3i 3ited, the surveyors are on the
l JOB Nand it only remains for the peo-
pie Of Liberal and along the proposed
route to give the assistance necessary
! and the road is just as good as built.
o. P. Byers is at the head of the
project which guarantees that every
thing will be handled on the square.
. Byers is a railroad builder who be-
lieves in giving the people the worth
of their money, and any help that
can be given will come back in real
results.
The whole country should line up
back of Byers and do all in their
power TO assist him.
We believe they will do it, too.

Leroy P. Loomis, brother-in-law
of the Democrat man, has purchased
the Canadian Record of F. R. Jami-
son, and is now in charge of the bust
ness. Mr.. Loomis has been located
at Slaton, Texas, for the past eleven
years, where he published the Slaton-
ite, and during his stay there built up
a good business. The Record has
long been one of the real newspapers
of this part of the country and we
will predict that its shadow will not
grow less under the new management.
Loomis is a good writer and full of
pep, understands what it takes to
rNEke town grow and does it consist
etItly. We are glad he has located
in so good a town and one in which
he will be able to exercise his talents
without restraint.

COMMITTEE MEETING
WAS WELL ATTENDED
Interesting Session of National Wo-
mans Liberty Loan
Committee.

Mrs. Osa Nichols of Liberal, Coun-
ty Chairman of the National Woman's
Liberty Loan Committee, has re-
turned from Wichita, where she at
tended a conference of the county
chairmen of Kansas.
An elaborate program had been
prepared for the meeting. Mrs. Hen
ry Ware Allen, state chairman, gave
the address of welcome, other speak
ers being Mrs. Geo. W. Fuller of
Kansas City, Federal Reserve Chair
man; c. L. Davidson, State Chairman
Mems Committee; Mae Davis Hend-
ryx, State Director of Publicity; Roy
Tinder of the State Speakers Bureau,
representing Stewart M. Young,
State Chairman; Lieut.. C. C. Nash of
the Canadian Army; Rev. Kane of
Hutchinson.
The delegates were royalty enter
tanned by the Wichita folks, dinner
at the new Hotel Lassen and a motor
trip over the city being features.
Mrs. Nichols brings many inter
esting notes of the meeting. She says
that the spirit of optimism prevailed.
Delegates expressed the belief that
the coming campaign would be full
ly as successful as any in the past,
and that there would be little trouble
in getting subscriptions for the full
quota.
The Victory Loan will be in the
form Of notes running five years or
less, the interest rate likely being 5
per cent subject to taxation or A per
cen tax exemption, except income
tax. This will make an ideal security
and should make the sale compara-
lively easy.
According to one of the speakers,
it makes little difference as to wheth-
er or not people take these securi-
ties. The money will be used in pay
ing for material already used as well
as to bring the boys back home, pay
their allowances, etc. 1t must come.
If not from the sale of securities it
will have to come as a taY,,. The wise
COURSE Tor the people ~oShl -bs TO
buy the securities and get their in
terest, as the writer expressed it a
choice between having Government
bond or tax receipt.
Mrs. Nichols says the address Of
Lieut.. Nash was one of the good
talks of the session. He had seen 81
months service at the front and be-
ing an impressive speaker gave
good account Of the activities at the
front. She endeavored to secure him
for talk at Liberal and it is possible
he may be sent here.
A tank from the front will be sent
to Kansas for the drive, and at Wich-
ita a "Flying Circus" will be given
at the Curby farm. This will consist
of army aviators in flying stunts,
and it is said that it will be worth
going a long way to see.
According to Mrs. Nichols squads
Of returned soldiers will be organ
lied to assist arousing sentiment for
the drive. Arrangements are already
under way to organize these squads
here.
There were 116 women delegates
in attendance at the meeting and
much that will be helpful in the cam
paign was learned.

Atlanta arranged all kinds of en-.
tertainments for the old heroes: big
dinners, outings, colonial entertain.
ments, drills, and everything they
could think of to make the stay of the
Confederates happy one. They
had tents at Piedmont Park, with all
conveniences. Each night a camp
fire was built in front of the tents
At the balls, the Virginia Reel, .
quadrile, waltz and minuet were dan.
ced, Without the hardships, the old
soldiers were reminded of the times
they once had together.
The distance and inconvenicnt
train service prevented a number OF
veterans from going from Paris and
surrounding communities.

the attendance was EXCEPTIONAL!
good for the first game of the sea
son. The speed of both teams was
cut down considerably by the hot
weather
RED" Dinwiddie played the best
offensive game for Grove, while on
the defensive, a great deal of credit
must be given to Hopper, Alexander,
Swinnew and Littleton. Charles
I Dunlap at quarter, played splendid
game both in command of the team
and as safety man.
Carson for Murray was the only
individual star, thei rperfect interfer-
ence however, was the best point
shown by that team.
Hampton, who started at guard for
Grove, played an excellent game but
was replaced by Jones in the second
half and Jones played the position
equally well. When Alexander was
knocked out in the last quarter,
Jones was shifted to his end and
Brandon, a new man on the team,
was sent to guard.
Completing Schedule.
Manager Humphreys has not yet
completed his schedule but has an
nounced the following games:
Friday, Oct. 10, Waverly High

Friday, Oct. 81, Mayfeld High
School, at Paris.
No game has yet been arranged
for Thanksgiving, but it is not I'M
likely that l. 7. s. of Huntingdon,

or Powell, left end; Dunlap, quarter;
