More Spot Demand.

With stocks Of raw material depleted,
especially abroad, there was increased
buying on this side. In this the Brit
ish seemed 60 be most prominent, al
though It IA thought by well-posted
people that a lot Of the demand came
from people who were representing en-
envy countries. One story receiving
more or less credence was that Scandi-
navian interests were absorbing con-
tracts and buying spots for the Ger
mans. although nobody could verify ii.
There were advices telling OF progress
being made in adjusting conditions
making probable larger buying for
some OF the other countries, although
most Of them included the contingency
OF peace being signed soon so that
many existing conditions could be re-
moved. For the time being the tend
ency waB to overlook the broken down
state OF the business machinery and
to assume that the need Of cotton was
so great as to assure sufficient demand
at once against the return to more nor
NAL conditions.
In Liverpool the holiday season was
at hand and the voluntary shutdown
of mills started on the 10th instant,
but that did not seem to affect buying
for that direction. One report during
the week said that Liverpool interests
had bought more cotton during the
past fortnight than In four months pre-
vlously, while ONE Of the most bull
tsh market expressions came from peo-
pie In close touch with sentiment In

The influence OF satisfactory progress
In peace negotiations apparently was
cumulative In its market effects dur
Ing the past few days. for 1t was given
credit for most OF the advance which
took. place. Whatever the effect OF
signing OF peace terms will be on de-
mand FOR cotton and its value, the
dominant feeling just now is that 1t
VIII be distinctly bullish. Amy argu-
ments to the contrary are given only
passing attention. II win require actual
happenings to alter prevailing ideas,
TOT theoretical forecasts have been cast
into the muck pile.
In a market which was moderately
active and In more sympathetic re-
Spouse to conditions and developments
in the spot market than in a long while
contracts made gains approximatlng
SIbO a bale. Quotations for the ac-
tual at he leading centers in the belt
kept the pace, although gains did not
quite equal those recorded In the other
department. In New York new style
options finished the period 1874 to 1888
points TO the good. the old closed 1876
to $50 higher. New Orleans new style
gained 142 to 1855 points, while the old
were marked up So to 17S. In both
speculative centers interest in the old
style slackened appreciably, as u
standing lines are being reduced In
conformity with orders that trading in
such must end by the first OF May,
unless actual deliveries are contem-
plated or desired.
The speculative crowd seemed to be
favorably disposed TO higher levels be-
cause reports from Paris told OF dif-
flcult problems being met around the
peace table in such a manner as to
portend early signatures from the Ger
mans The possibility that they might
refuse to sign did not seem to be given
serious consideration. for II is not be-
lieved they will be in position TO resist
the powerful pressure the entente al
lies may bring TO bear on them. This
more hopeful feeling extended TO the
manufacturing end Of the market,
business was expanding and an
atmosphere OF confidence vas "a all

was there broader demand and more
confident buying, but prices had al

seemed in healthy shape for

PROMINENT BEAVER FARMER 9,
LOSES FOOT UNDER TRAIN

Ernest Savoy, a young farmer liv-
ing near Beaver, was the victim Of a
sad accident in the Rock Island
yards, close to this city, about IL
o'clock Monday night. He had come
from Beaver expecting to take the
Rock Island passenger No. 2, to go
to Wichita to buy a number of re-
pairs for a separator soon to be put
in use to thresh portion of the big
wheat crop in that section, but
missed this train. In his anxiety to
reach his destination he boarded a
thru freight, hoping to get to Hutch
inson early the next morning, and
proceed from there to Wichita. He
was informed that this train would
be held over at Pratt, and so got off
this train after it had passed the
eastern limits of the city. Another
freight train soon after came along,
and he attempted to board it, with
the result that he was thrown under
the wheels which severed his left
foot from his limb little above the
shoe top, and seriously bruised his
head and shoulders,
It is not known just how long he
layed by the tracks, but he was
picked up by switch engine crew
about 12 80, and brought to the Nor
row Hospital, where it was found
necessary to make an amputation
slightly below the knee. The flow
of blood from the wound had been
considerable up to the time of the
discovery of the accident.
DR.. Morrow gives especial praise
to the first aid service rendered Mr..
Savoy by the train crew who picked
him up. The quickest bandage that
could be procured was made from
the victims shirt which was torn from
his back, and made into bands that
were twisted so tightly around the
limb that it was task to get them
off, but had no doubt saved his life.
The doctor says it was the work of an
oxnprt

Next to newspaper advertising, win
dow displays are the best advertis-
ing possible, and they are worthy of
special thought and preparation.

THEY CAN EARN MONEY
WHILE THEY ARE WAITING

The great amount of street i'm
provement going on in Liberal is
helping out the harvesters who ar
rive in the city. In most instances
these men have to wait for assign
ments from half to a full day,
before the farmers come in to take
them out out to their places, but not
so in Liberal. If they are industrious,
and want to work, the Stanton Con-
struction Company will put them on
the job at once, and they can work
all they can at the rate of forty cents
per hour, and get their money for
this work at any time it becomes ne
cessary for them to leave.
In fact, the Stanton Construction
Company are having some time to
keep any men on their work, which
will be much interrupted until after
harvest, and the city authorities,
while in great stress to get the street
paving completed, are constrained
to be lenient, As the wheat harvest
should take precedence over all i'm
provements just now.

SERVICE

1t is doubtful if anyone could find a word of big
ger meaning in the modern languages than the
word Service" What multitude of virtues it COW
ers-what concourse of pleasure it creates-wha
status of harmony it maintains 1t is a redeeming
feautre in every walk of life II is the biggest mob
lest effort of life to be of service
Service is the profit maker for humanity True
service, while submerging human selfshness leads
to greater accomplishments Its definition in
cludes all there is in industry Service is the home
builder the farm builder the business builder the
town builder, the city builder the state builder the
nation builder, and greater than all, the builder of
love and truth, and all that partake of their nature
Yes, service is the town builder, and that is sub
iect we want to think about. newspaper that does
not help to build its town is a noneny. If it merely
the desire of its publisher to make money it
is a failure. newspaper just to serve its friends
and punish its enemies is an incubus any COM
munity The idea of newspaper having friends
and enemies in personal is inconsistent. Its
only friend should be principle and its only enemy
lack OF principle. 1t is principle and not person
talities that constitute the realities of life.
We want to make the Democrat paper of serv-
ice. We know that if we give good service to the
people of Liberal financial success will follow as
a result of that service. We cans expect results
without giving service. We can't expect co-opera-
ton without giving cooperation.
And say. do you want an antdote for discourage
ment, the blues, bad disposition, that tired feeling
and hundred and one of the unhappy conditions of
life If SO, just find some service you can do for
someone else and do without expecting any return
in the form of acknowledgment or even gratitude,
but just for the satisfaction of knowing you have
been of service to someone. And don't pick out
particular friend to serve. The greatest happiness
anyone ever gets in life is to know that they have
given good service-have helped someone who need
ed help-without letting the they helped any
one else kow it, Service is service-not seIfishness.

THE WHEAT HARVEST
HAS STARTED HERE
Wheat Ripening Fast But Shortage
of Help Retsrding the
Work. ~

The wheat harvest is on. The
warm weather of the past week has
caused the grain to ripen fast and
cutting started earlier than was an
ticipated
A number Of fields were ripe
enough to start the binders Monday
and no time was lost getting into
them.
Weather conditions continued fav-
orable right up to the last and as
result the yield will be heavy.
The greatest worry at this time is
that of securing help to care for the
crop. Secretary Ray Millman of the
Chamber of Commerce is getting
gray fast trying to get men for the
farmers He has been busy with the
telephone and telegraph, but despite
his efforts as the paper goes to press
he is short over $50 men with the
work just beginning.
Unless conditions improve, it is
going to be necessary to close up the
business houses and take care of the
grain. With one of the greatest
crops the southwest has ever pro-
duced it would be shame if it could
not be harvested and if it CONS to a
showdown we are of the opinion that
every able-bodied man in town will
get into the game.
There is no danger of surplus of
help and should this item meet the
eye of anyone wanting harvest work
he would do well to buy ticket for
Liberal. Many are predicting that
the harvest here will last twenty to
thirty days, and with the present
help situation it will last longer.

BOY RUN DOWN BY AUTO

Jimmie Stewart, son of Mrs. Laura
Stewart, met with quite a severe ac-
cident Tuesday afternoon.
Jimmie and some other children
were playing near the L. E. Allen
home when Jimmie decided to cross
the street to the Methodist Church,
and just at that time W. S. Higgins
turned the corner north of the
church, striking the child. The car
is thot to have passed over the upper
part of his back, bruising it severely;
his neck is also injured. He was at
once hurried to the Liberal Hospi-
tai and at this time is getting along
quite satisfactorily, tho the serious
ness of his injuries can not be fully
determined for a few days.
Mr.. Higgins was driving at mod
crate rate of speed and the accident
was quite unavoidable.
