co WATCH THE FOOT BALL
BOYS AT PRACTICE

Interest in clean athletics in all
the high schools and colleges OF
she United States since the great
WAR is keener than at any period
in past history. Athletics train the
mind to think quickly and accurately
and develops the muscles to almost
super-human possibilities. This was
clearly demonstrated during the big
war when the American athletes
completely baffled the German horde
and swept them off their feet at
every turn of the cards. Keen
thinking and quick action was a
new innovation in warfare and the
old world couldn't get the answer.
Europe marveled at the achieve
ment of the American soldier-ath-
lete and will no longer rely on
glorious tradition to put over some
thing worth while. Yes, all the
high schools and colleges are de-
veloping athletics, and the Liberal
High School is by no means the
least of these. Prof. Woods, ath-
letic director, represents the highest
type of, American manhood and
stands only for clean, wholesome
athletics-the kind that developes
the manly man. And the boys all
appreciate his efforts to place Lib
eral at the head of the procession.
Foot ball occupies the center of
I the stage at this time, and visit
to the athletic field near the high
school after school hours each after
noon will reveal to one the spirit
of young America in the making OF
real men that go over the tor
against all odds.

G. E. Lawson, the sub-irrigator,
is daily adding to his list of
customers here, and next spring
the results of his work will show
up in fine lawns. He is putting
in the Porous Tile system, diff
ferent from anything yet tried here,
but not new one by any means,
and the merits of the system be-
come apparent to anyone who will
take the time to talk to Mr.. Lawson.
His system uses less water and at
the same time gives double service,
in that it is not only a system
of irrigation, but of aeration as well.
The saving in time and water to.
say nothing of the improved APP
pearance of your lawn will make it
well worth while to see Mr.. Law
son and get particulars. Mr.. Law
son has already installed the sys-
TEN for the following Liberal
people, Lee Larrabee, f. F. Print,
Earl Smith, j. f. George, c. II.
Leete, Joe Bryson, L. d. Weiden-
saul, DR.. P. f, Hanlin, Austin
Follett, R. E. Barbee, DR.. Mark Per-
rim. He also has contracts with
Frank Summers and Ira Riney on
which he will shortly begin.

Ed Howe: The most worthless
human being l have ever known was
e nineteen year old girl. She was
what we call respectable" the
gossip about her was that she was
idle, and a burden to her parents.
Her folks were poor, and she hated
them for it. She could dance, and
sing little, and play the piano a
little, but l have known her to
sleep until noon the morning her
mother did the washing. She also
had ambition; ambition to marry a
rich man, but married young fell
low as worthless as herself. l don't
know what has become of her, but
! am certain she is still what is
called "respectable;" she had sense
enough to take care of herself
in that way, but lacked sense in
every other.

The Hooker high school foot ball
team, spurred on by laudable am
bition to be the champions of the
southwest this year, defeated the
strong Goodwill team by a very
large score last week. Hooker will
be here Friday afternoon confident
that the Liberal High School team
cannot stop them. The Liberal boys
are not talking much but a glance
at the lineup in action reveals
a grim determination on the part
of the Liberal boys to not let
them pass. This should be the best
football game ever played at Lib
eral and the boys will be pleased
to have all of Liberal at the game.
There will be plenty of excitement
and you will go home pleased that
you backed the home team.

The news that 5000 British wo-
men are on their way to America
in search of husbands has awakened
so much sympathy in this country
that it is claimed at least 100000
American women, out of the good
ness of their hearts, have offered
to give up the husbands they have
in order to supply the need. 1t is
understood that the only string to
the offer is that the British women
must agree to take the husbands
back to England or some place
equally distant, and keep them
there.-Dodge City Globe.

 STRIKE SOON
Miss Sullivan Doesn Think There Will Be Strike
 Here.

Boston, April 1.-The expected ar rical here today of John C. Rooms first assistant postma ster. general and chairman of the wire control board, gave some hope of a speedy adjust Elent of the strike of telephone work CTS which started Tuesday when young women operators in all the New England states except. .Connecti- cut walked out. Yesterday the cable spliceTs joined the operators, and to- day q strike of electricias which leaders claimed involved F, ,000 men in g unions became effective.
 Miss Teresa Sullivan, Eastern or ganizer of the Telephone operators, sait this noon that there would be no strike in the Connecticut exchanges unless there was an attempt to take operators from this state to act as strike breakers in other states where the girls are out. The local union will hold a meeting to take a vote on the strike proposition tonight and if + is favorable to a strike the de- mands Of the operators will be for uaIly presented to the officials of the company before a strike is declared.

Harry Walker Not Much Disturbed by the Idea Mayor May Build Ice
 Plant.

Harry Walker of the Bridgeport Ice Delivery Company, Naugatuck Valley Ice Co. etc, said today that there was no change in the situation in this city and that the prices announced would go in effect according to schedule.
 MT. Walker maintained that he could see no need of him making a statement as in his original statement to the newspa pers he had explained the ways and wherefores of the cause of an increase in price.
 He intimated that nothing had occurred to change conditions and seemed doubtful about the ability of New Haven to establish an ice plant on $25,0 or sell ice at 50 cents a. hundred except at the stations
 While he didn't say so, it was evil dent from the short conversat ton which a representative of the Times Farmer had with MT. Walker today. that Mayor Clifford B. Wilson up un- til d few days ago hadn't thought very seriously about erecting a, muni- cipaI ice plant Whether His Honor has given more thought to the mat ter in the past 24 hours is doubtful, due to his trip to Boston.

 The units aboard the Patricia in cluded the 102nd and 103rd Machine Gun Battalions, composed largely of former members of the old First Vermont Infantry regiment; the 101st ganization, and several smaller de- tachments. Also on board were casual comp mpanies from Massachusetts and regular army. besides special casual company composed of men from various branches of the service, making a total of 2,812 officers and men.
 Members of the Massachusetts and Boston welcoming committees were there to greet the men from this state.
 A particularly warm welcome was extended by the Vermont delegation to members of Company D of the l03rd Machine Gun Battalion, for 50 per cent. of the Vermont men cited for bravery during the war were members Of this company, made up largely of votes of St. A1bans.
