VICKERS ELECTED PRESIDENT
SEWARD OIL & GAS COMPANY
Changes also made in the Board of
Directors of The Company
at Last Meeting.

W. IL NlShSlo VI IHS NlChcIb
Grain & Seed Company was elect
ed president of the Seward County
Oil e. Gas Company at the last
meeting of the Board of Directors,
and several names were added to
the board of directors.
Those comprising the board are
W. H. Vickers, H. w. Magruder,
Jennie Karau, W. o. Woods, C. A.
Sealy, T. S. Locke, Ezra Shorb,
and G. W. Harnden.
Those familiar with Seward coun-
ty folks will realize that these are
representative citizens and men who
have the highest esteem of those
who know them. Sor the most part
they are men who have helped to
bring Liberal and Seward county
to the front and started early in
the game. They have been back of
numerous propositions looking to the
advancement of the country and
have always kept faith with the
people.
They have put their money into
this proposition and the appeal for
money to make a test for oil and
gas comes from them. They have
satisfied themselves that the propo-
sition is good one and have no
hesitancy in asking their acquaint-
ances to get in with them.
There is one advantage the home
people will have when this COM
pany starts to drill. Since the
money is furnished by home people
the prospects will be no secret and
the depth Of the well as well as
inside information will be avail
able.
f C. A, Sealy informs The Demo
e crat that he has received several
stock subscriptions from Chicago in
the past few weeks and we are also
told that some Wichita parties are
becoming interested in the propo-
sIt,Jn.
Every farmer in Seward county
can well afford to put in from 500
up to have this test made. What
it will mean to the land owners
of the county if oil should be found
Is pletny. Even, the eighth in
terest from the land will be a
goodly sum and when coupled with
a few hundred dollars of stock in
the company will put most people
on easy street.
But this can never be realized
= unless test is made. Some folks
think of waiting until the test west
= of town is completed, thinking this
will prove or disprove the field. In
this connection it must be borne in
mind that the more holes there
are drilled the better chance there

Dility of the well west of town be-
ing a duster and yet good well
may be found on the north block,
or the reverse. Those familiar with
geology easily understand this
proposition but the average man
knows little about it. A well on
one side of the road may be
producer while on the other side
the hole is dry owing to peculiar
geological instructures.
And another thing to be con-
sidered is that after we'll is
brought in on the west test the
value Of the holdings of the north
block will increase correspondingly
and the big operators will get in
to the game freezing the little fell
lows out.
There is no sure thing in the oil
business. The fellow who takes
the chance makes the money. We
would not advise anyone to stake
everything on the chance here, but
the man who has few hundred
dollars to invest in a speculative
proposition cannot beat this.

After the game most of the Lib
eral folks took in the carnival and
the carnival took most of them in.
Lee Larrabee and the Democrat
man are said to have been the
best behaved men on the trip.
The Guymon folks were good
sports and treated the Liberal folks
nicely.

MINERS STRIKE MAY CAUSE
COAL TO DOUBLE IN PRICE
Five Hour Day and Sixty Per Cent
Wage Increase will Hike
Price of Fuel.

An echo of the coal miners strike
was heard in Liberal this weel
when Paul W. Light of the Pau
w. Light Lumber Company, re
ceived a couple of kilograms, one
from the manager of the Victor
Fuel Company, the Other
from the Southwestern Coal Com
pany at Wichita.
The telegram from the Victor
American people, the largest opera
tors in the Colorado field is as fol
lows:
Denver, Colo, Oct. 18, 1919.
1t is time for good citi-
zens to take notice-Miners
threaten to work only thirty
hours per week, but demand
increase of sixty per cent on
wages now paid for eight hours
work. 1t is time for you,
your friends and public men
and industries to telegraph your
Senators and Congressman ask
ing them to oppose strike, to
oppose increase in wages and
oppose decrease of hours, other
wise the public cannot escape
paying dearly and permanently.
Your silence will mean your
approval of miners demands so
telegraph Senators and Cong
ressmen Immediately. Also hold
public meetings, pass resolu-
tions and wire resolutions to
Washington.

The second message from the
Southwestern Coal Company, one of
the large distributors of the
country says:
Wichita, Kans., Oct. 20, 1919.
Your coal will cost you
double the present price if the
b. miners demand for only thhty
hours per week and sixty per
cent increase in wages now paid
for forty-eight hours per week
are granted. 1t is highly i'm
portant you wire Immediately
your Senators and Congress
men to oppose increase in
wages and decrease in hours
and that they take action to
prevent strike called for Nov.
1st.
SOUTHWESTERN COAL co.
That the statements of the opera
tors that if the miners win the
price of coal will be doubled can
not be doubled in the least. 1t is
to anyone that if the
miners work three hours less per
day and demand an increase of
sixty per cent in wages the price
of coal is bound to climb.
The method of procedure advo-
Gated by the kilograms might help
some and is worth trial.
If the citizens of Liberal do not
desire to pay double price for their
coal this winter they had better
spend the price of kilograms to
the congressman from Kansas and
express their disapproval of the
strike in vigorous terms.

POOR COWS ARE GOOD
EATERS SAYS 0. A. c.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis, Jan. Feed cost OF poor
producing cows in Oregon is but lit
tie lower than that Of high produc-
ing cows. 1t cost but s11.S6 less to
feed the cows on test which produced
800 pounds Of fat than those which
produced $50 pounds. The cost for
cows yielding 200 pounds of fat was
only s6.7S less than for those yield
ing 800 pounds. Hence the differ
ence in the total feed cost between
cows producing 200 pounds and 400
pounds of fat was 1854. Yet the
value Of their product, which cost
but little less than the product Of
the good producers, was worth only
about half as much. The entire diff
ference in cost of feed for cows pro-
ducing 100 pounds and 400 pounds
Of fat was $1,000.

ROOM ONLY FOR ONE
FLAG ROOSEVELT

New York, Jan. What was the
last public statement by Colonel
Roosevelt was read Sunday night at
an "all-American concert" here un-
der the auspices of the American
Defense society. OF which he was
honorary president,
Il cannot be with you and so all
| can do is to wish you Godspeed," :"
it read. "There must be no sagging
back in the fight for Americanism
merely because the war is over.
There are plenty of persons who
have already made the assertion that
they believe the American people
have short memory and that they
intend to revive all the foreign asso-
Citations which most directly inter-
fere with the complete Americaniza-
tion OF our people. Our principle in
this matter should be absolutely
simple.
''In the first place We should in
sist that il the immigrant who comes
here does in good faith become an
American and assimilates himself to
us, he shall be treated on an exact
equality with everyone else, for 1t is
an outrage to discriminate against
any such man because OF creed or
birthplace or origin. But this is
predicted upon the mans becoming
in very fact an American and moth
ing but an American.
"If he tries to keep segregated
from men OF his own origin and sep
arated from the rest OF America.
then he isn't doing his part as an
American. There can be no divided
alliance at all.
I'VE have room for but one flag,
the American flag, and this excludes
the red flag which symbolizes all
war against liberty and civilization
just as much as it excludes any for
eign flag OF a nation to which we are
hostile. We have room for but one
language here and that is the Eng
lish language. for we intend to see
that the crucible turns our people
out as Americans and American nat
ionality, and not as dwellers in a
polyglot boarding house; and we
have room for but one soul loyalty,
and. that is loyalty to the American
people,"

his public statement on the death OF

loftiest patriotism at all times and

Senator Chamberlain recounted
today that his friendship with Col
onel Roosevelt began in 1908, when
he, as governor of Oregon, made a
trip with a party of governors down
the Mississippi river to investigate
proposed river and harbor improve
ments. Mr.. Roosevelt, as president,
was the guest of the parts.

was, issued a public statement say
