in their home town from overseas,
We're given a great welcome to-day
by Linglestown citizens. 1t was Il
memorable day from this historic
town. Visitors came from all over
the county, by autos, on big auto
trucks, in wagons, carriages and
some on horseback. They came early,
and as the big program will be car
ried far into the evening, will stay
late.
1t was an ideal day for this great
celebration. Visitors who arrived
early found the town folks up and
ready with a warm welcome. The
houses and stores were elaborately
decorated with flags and bunting.
Hundreds of autos bringing in visi-
tors also carried many flags. Big
crowds also came over the lines Of
the Harrisburg Railways Company.
The honorary chairman, DR.. c. H..
Smith, and V. B. Lees, chairman OF
the committee in charge, with their
aids, were at headquarters with their
aids to see that arrangements were
carried out. There was not hitch.
No detail was overlooked.
Many Big Features
Every feature was a big one. The
chief marshal of the parade, Nevin
Meyer, had his hands full, but his
training with the 10Sth Field Ar
tillery came in good, and he handled
the many organizations in good
style. Due to the fact that the pro-
cession reached such an enormous
size it was necessary to counter

TRADERS TEST HAVING USUAL
BAD LUCK
Pulled Casing in Two Then Lost
Tool in the Hole-Now
Fishing.

The Traders test on the Boles
farm west of Liberal five miles is
experiencing an attack of drillers
luck in an aggravated form.
The first misfortune to overtake
the drillers was when string of
casing stuck in the hole and was
pulled in two, and the second was
that while trying to get hold of
the casing the tools went into the
hole.
After fishing for over two weeks
the tools have not yet been picked
up, so it is hard matter to deter
mine when drilling will be resumed.
1t may take a few hours or a few
months to get the tools out of the
hole.

CITY TREASURY INCREASED
BY SEVERAL NEAT FINES
Jay Driving, Gambling and Running
With Open Mufflers
The Cause.

The city treasury is ahead a good
many dollars because of the idea
some people had that city ordinances
were made for the fun of writing
them.
Part of the money came from
those who thought they could "get
by" and have little game. They
paid the price.
Then there were some others who
were of the opinion that traffic
regulations were all made for the
other fellow. They dug, also.
And some thought they could ex-
ceed the speed limit-they did but
the traffic cop got their number
and the police judge their money.
Another or two didn't see any
harm in starting their cars with
the cut-out open. There wasn't
any particular harm-just lot of
unnecessary noise and in order that
they might remember to not do it
again hizzoner tackled on a little
fine.
Mayor Griffith informs The Demo-
crat that the police department is
instructed to enforce the ordinances
of the city. While there is no de-
sire to stick anyone, and sufficient
time will be given to acquaint all
with the rules, the traffic rules must
be complied with and after the first
offense the fine will be forthcoming
Better watch your step. Mr..
Traffic Cop may have your number
. for a violation and only be waiting
to get it the second time. Drive
according to rules, park according
to rules, keep your muffler closed
and do not drive over ~ miles pei
hour. This is the way to be safe.

LOOKS VERY PROMISING

< Block.

Officials of the Seward County

While they have had several Of

one, and if it should fall through
the company will proceed to sell
stock and go ahead with the drill

While there has been many delays
and discouragements with the propo'

drilling oil wells and with the stick
to-it spirit so far displayed there is
little doubt of the success of the
venture.

Another reel has been added to

Since the installation of the new
