has shiny shell and contains q

Burns is the singer Of songs as i'm
mortal as love, pure as the dew Of
the morning, and sweet ms Its breath;
songs with which the lover woos his
bride and the mother soothes her
child. and the heart of people beats
with patriotic exultation; songs that
cheer human endeavor and console hu-

cannot find out the secret of their pow

rainbow beautful, we cannot know

A certain vice president Of a great
railroad once remarked thathe would
much rather have In his employ a,trains
dispatcher who had cigar In his
mouth and his feet cooked up on
the desk than one who kept his nose
too closely to the grindstone. AS he
had come up through the ranks the
vice presidents opinion WAS seasoned
with accurate knowledge and expert

MORE CLOSE-IN LOTS
SOLD LAST WEEK
Corner North of Postoffice Changed d
Hands. Name of Purchaser
Not Given Out.

1t has become definitely known
that the lots across north from the
postoffice changed hands last week,
but the name of the purchaser
has not been made public.
The lots were owned by C. E..
Woods of the First National Bank,
who admitted the sale, but declin-
ed to make known the purchaser.
Several rumors are afloat as the
disposition of the lots. The story
is being told on the streets that
a modern filling station will be
built but we have been unable to
verify it. Rumor also has placed
the purchase price at $4,000, but
this could not be verified.
1t is a safe prediction that
some sort of a structure will be
erected on the lots at no far dis
tant day.

United States Marshal, Formerly of
Liberal Treats Committee
Handsomely.

When o. T. Wood, United States
Marshal received his home paper,
and read that there was to be a
barbecue here, he wrote a letter
to Mr.. Cav of the canteen depart
ment of the Red Cross stating that
he was much interested in the barbe-
cue and that he had written to his
son, asking that a nice little beef
be cut out of the bunch for the
Red Cross.
This offer is much appreciated
and Mr.. Cav is much pleased over
the donation. The several COM
mittees on the barbecue are busy
at this time and there is. no doubt
about the day being one of the
greatest in the history of the coun-
ty. From all indications there will
be large attendance at the barbe-
cue.

ARE TALKING NEW
SCHOOL BUILDING

The League of Nations and who'll
be president in 1920 have been
pushed off the board the past week
the topic under discussion in Lib
eral being "that new school build
ing"
Strange as it may seem there
seems to be none against the propo-
sition. Every man with whom we
have talked has expressed the opin-
ion that a new building is necessary
with which we cannot dispense.
Liberal people have suddenly
awakened to the fact that in this
particular we are at disadvantage
and now that the fact stares them
in the face there is almost a de-
mand for another building right
away.
And another pleasing feature of
the situation is that all favor a
commodious building, one that will
take care of the future as well
as the present. Most people real
ize that merely to provide a build
ing for present needs means added
expense as the years go by and a
continual lack of facilities.
There is no way in which we may
judge the future except by the past,
and the only manner in which the
size building needed can be any
thing like accurately ascertained is

VOTE BONDS IN STEVENS,
MORTON AND SEWARD CO.'S
For Aid of Byers Road, Extended
From Liberal West to
State Line.

Railway bond elections are soon
to be held in Stevens, Seward and
Morton counties to aid the propos-
ed extension of the Byers railway
through those counties.
o. P. Byers is projecting this
road to build west from Liberal
through Hugoton and Richfield, to
the Colorado State Line. 1t is al
so to be extended southeast from
Liberal to Forgan, where it will
connect with the present terminus
of the Wichita Falls & Northwest
ern railway.
The Hugoton Hermes says the pc
titions for the bond election are
now being circulated in that coun-
ty, and practically none has refus-
ed to sign the Hermes says.
The petitions provide for prefer
red stock in the railroad to the
extent of six thousand dollars per
mile, and that an additional three
thousand dollars per mile be voted
as a bonus to the railroad. Exactly
the same proposition is to be pre-
sented to Seward and Morton
counties and will probably be vot-
ed on in Seward first, then in
Stevens and last in Morton, all
elections being held as soon as
legally possible.-Hutchinson News

to go on the theory that Liberal
will make the same proportionate
growth in the next ten years that
it has in the past. The chances
are that this will be exceeded, but
if this is taken as basis we will
be reasonably safe.
The Democrat is pleased with the
manner in which Liberal folks are
taking hold of this matter and feels
that it is simply a matter of time
until the school situation will be
well taken care of.
