JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL CLASS
GRADUATED SATURDAY
A Very Interesting Program Was
Given at Christian
Church.

Before large and appreciative
audience at the Christian church last
Saturday evening the 1919 class Of
Liberal Junior High School received
their diplomas.
A very interesting program had
been prepared and was carried out in
a most pleasing manner.
The numbers were so well given
that it is impossible to give each the
individual praise deserved but all
agree that the girls and boys carried
to the end of their Junior term the
same determination to excel as they
displayed during the year, and for
that matter for several years past.
This class has been an exceptional
one in the history of the school. The
individual grades of the pupils have
totaled high average, and this is not
to be wondered at as some of the
brightest and most ambitious of our
young people are members.
The church was decorated simply
but in charming manner in the
class colors-red and white-present-
ing a pleasing appearance.
Elder James M. Taylor of the
Christian church made the address.
He complimented the class upon their
excellent beginning and gave coun-
sci for a continuation of the efforts.
His talk was full of good advice, not
only to the members of the class, but
which might we'll be considered by
all.
The Democrat is pleased to con-
gratulate this excellent bunch of
young people for the diligence
shown, and shall expect to hear good
reports from them as students in Lib
eral High School.

WHY NOT HAVE A WAR
EXHIBIT IN LIBERAL

The following clipping was sent
the Democrat by John W. Baughmar
with the suggestion that the proper
effort might secure such an exhibit
for Liberal. 1t would be we'll worth
considering and would certainly
draw some great crowds.
Twenty-Five carloads of war relics
from the battlefield Of Europe are
scheduled to arrive in this city this
week. Final negotiations have been
closed for the coming of the big
United States and Allied Govern
ments War Exposition. This exhi-
bition presented by the United
States government in conjunction
with the Allied governments, will be
held under the auspices Of the As
sociation of Commerce at Heineman
Ball Park, February TO 9.
Almost every device used by the
Huns and Austrians, as we'll as the
war implements used by the Allies
including thousands of trophies pick
ed up at Chateau Thierry, will be
shown. Among the exhibits are
twelve pieces of the very shell that
was fired from a German "mys-
terry" gun on Paris last Good Friday
morn, a distance Of seventy;six
miles, when it completely demolished
a French Cathedral and killed
forty-two women and children. This
shell will be exhibited in a glass
case and covered by an iron guard
day and night.
One of the famous French mos
quito tanks, which was successful in
crossing "No Mans Land" seventeen
times before its gunner and pilot
were both killed, also will be shown.
This tank is said to be the only one
of its kind in the United States to-
day and will be shipped back direct
to France, when this exposition
closes in New Orleans.
The real trophy Of war, which will
also be on exhibition here, is the fam
Gus French plane used by Lieutenant
Guynemeyer, when he bought his
Hun plane. Two cap
tured German albatross planes also
will be on display along with the first
English aeroplane to wreck Zeppe-
lin.
The famous Hindenberg pill box
which is positively bullet proof, and
which was used in opposing our boys
1T the front, will be here. There will
be special exhibits sent here from
England, Canada, France, Italy and
Belgium, all of which will be under
,harge of officers who have seen serv-
ce at the front, and who all wear (
decorations for bravery. Mareschell
lie Logis La Soil, who represents the
Belgian Mission in this country and
Who has been four times decorated
or brave deeds on the battlefield, will 8

WOODS MOVED BACK TO
HIS OLD LOCATION

j. A. Woods of the Liberal Vul-
canizing Company has moved back to
his old location across the street
north from the postoffice. Jim says
it was too much trouble working
both sides of the street so he con-
solidated his interests. He says he
has not got as much room as when
he had two places but he can stay at
home better and can handle the work
just as WELL

THRESHING STARTED
UP IN GOOD SHAPE
The Grain Crop Is Beginning tc
Come to Market Since Weather
Opened Up.

The crop of maize and kafr that
should have been marketed several
months ago is now beginning to come
to town. The bad weather came just
about the time the grain should have
been threshed and the heavy snow
has made it impossible to get into
the fields sooner.
Many fields are still too wet to
thresh but here and there the ma
chimes are at work.
The roads are a fright in many
places, and it is hard to get to town
with a load.

TREASURES" IN THE CELLAR
Cleaner Finds Many Things Stored There, With More or Less ln-
 terestino History.

Health drive is on this week, and every good4Brooklynite will go down in his cellar and clean out all the rub Dish and useless stuff except possibly the furnace. When one is engaged in this sort of work he runs across lots of old forgotten. stuff.
 He unearths crayon portraits of Un- cle Hiram and Aunt Maria, made with an afr brush in exchange for 400 cou- pons and $2. They were intended. for the parlor, but reached the cellar after throwing the old family canary into convulsions; and there is the wreck of the old whatnot that grandma gave you. It used to stand in the corner of the parlor. filled with old family pic lures. sharks eyes. Indian bead work and other terrible monstrosities that children gazed upon with awe. And as you come across it you remember that the first thing. you did after dear grandma passed away was to hustle the whatnot down below, back of a pair of moth-eaten portieres.
 And you find your pair of white fan nel trousers that you wore to picnic and sat down in on blackberry pie. And. you recall the trouble and embar- rassment you had getting home, and of how. when you had the trousers cleaned. the big stain turned green and the trousers went into the. discard. And you run across the first silk hat you ever wore. which made you look like an undertaken. and the, vase which you smashed and blamed on the cat, caus- ing an innocent feline to lose good home; and the tie your wife bought you. on which you deliberately spilled ink, for which no one could blame you.
 And so you go along roofing out one old article after another, piling them in heaps to wait for the ashman and the junkman, humming that old hymn. "Sic Transit Gloria Mundi."-Brook- lyn Standard Union.

UNIVERSITY PROBE
 BEGAN MONDAY
Allegations Thick at Fayetteville on Eve of Investigation of the
 University Row.
Especial to the News.

Especial to the News
 Little Rock, March 24.-Gov c. H. Brough left Little Rock Saturday night for Fayetteville, where he will today preside over meeting of the board Of trustees of the University of Arkansas to settle the uprising among thesstu- dents of the state institution. Several members of the board passed through Little Rock Sunday enroute to Fay etteville. The question to be settled is the complaint made by portion of the student body against certain rules governing attendance at classes and the. demand that Pres. John J. Fut- rall resign. Pres. Futrall has so far taken no part in the matter, but will be heard by the board.
 An interesting letter has been re, ceived in Little Rock from Prof. E.G Nourse, now Professor of Economies at Iowa State University, who was formerly professor at Arkansas Uni- versity. It was alleged that Pro-. Nourse left the University because he was unable to get along with Pres Futrall. This is denied by Prof Nourse, who states he went to Iowa because it offered him greater possf- bilities. He pays Pres. Futrall high tribute, saying that while he did not always agree with Prof. Futrall, he never saw resentment on the part of the president when outvoted by the faculty, and admired his dignified yielding of point which he could no, carry.
 "As to this tyrany stuff, it is to laugh" writes Prof. Nourse. q can't see why the students won't let the University get on it's feet after it's war troubles, setting loyalty and zeal. for the school above petty feelings of dis, satisfaction with a stick law or what ever is the bone of contention. The present day Is one of inevitable dis turbance, e and college communities show it in the small, just as nations show it in the large. Such a time tests the character of our members and shows the quality of our leaders It should be an occasion for college men and women to hold themselves above school-boy strikes and baby boleshevism. It is time to keep our relative values clear and to remembe, the prime purpose in coming to col lege is to get an education and that upsetting the work of the University

HOUNDS COULD NOT FORGET
Faithful Animals Long Remembered Young Master Who Met Tragic
 Death a Year AQo.

It has often been said that "dog Is mans best friend" This has cer- taInly proved true in the case of Johnny Ingram, fifteen-year-old boy. who froze to death during the big snowstorm about 3. year ago on the banks eof Spring river. says a Still water (Okla.) dispatch.
 When the body of the unfortunate boy was found two large greyhounds sat shivering in the snow. guarding their young masters remains from wolves and other wild beasts.
 After the boys burial the two faithful hounds would make almost daily trips out to the cemetery and sit for hours at this grave. On these days they would not partake of bite to eat until they returned to the h. gram home.
 Many have followed the dogs to the cemetery out of curiosity to see what they would do. They were often found lying there. one on each side of the grave, their heads between their paws, as If in silent prayer.
 Last summer the dogs were seen to gather wild pansies and violets in their mouths and trot off toward the cemetery. where they would deposit the flowers upon the boys grave. These flowers were favorites with the lad. About a month ago the two dogs appeared to be sick.
 A veterinary surgeon was called from Saltwater, but after examining the dogs he declared that he could find nothing wrong with them. How ever, they still refused to eat and finally disappeared.

NO THOUGHT OF GRATITUDE
Hungry School Teacher Unfortunately Had "cast Bread Upon the Wa
 ters" in Vain.

Two Hoosier teachers were travelling through Canada the other day. They had to take very early train, and as a result intended to eat breakfast in the dining car. But there was no dining car on the train. Hungr1ly they faced the prospect of day of fasting, for they would not arrive at their destina- ton until late afternoon. We have just two cakes of chocolate" said one. taking store of their possessions. "Will you eat yours now or wait while?"
 The second ate her cake then. trust ing.to luck to find station lunchroom. But the first waited until noon and until mother and twO'small children had settled themselves in the seat op. pOsite the teachers.
 Finally she took the cake of choco- late, eyed 1t in happy anticipation and then unwrapped 1t. But 10. the two youngsters were against her knee, and they, too, were looking at it with happy anticipation. Of course 1t was divid- ed between them.
 Half an hour later the mother open ed her grip and out came the family lunch of fried chicken, sandwiches, etc. But not one bite did the generous teacher get. "What was that about a cup of cold water?" she asked the other teacher hintingly.
 The woman with the full basket stared at her coldly. Then she took a drinking cup from her grip and ex- tended 1t. "You may have it," she of- fered, "but there's paper cups at the can."-Indlanapolis News.
