LIBERAL AND BUCKLlN
TEAMS PLAYED CLOSE GAME
Liberal Won by 5 Points in Most
Warmly Contested Game of
the Season.

Those fortunate enough to be at
the Armory last Thursday night wit
messed contest in basket ball that is
seldom equalled. The Bucklin team
had not been defeated all season,
aed the odds seemed in their favor,
but the Liberal team, realizing that
they were up against the real thing,
proceeded to inject a lot of pep and
teamwork into their play, and. won
the game with a margin of five
points.
For a time the Bucklin team was in
the lead and they played air tight
ball, but could not hold their lead
against the skillful playing of the
Liberal boys.
1t was a pretty game and thoroly
enjoyed by the big crowd who wit
messed the playing.
The Bucklin team was accompan-
led by Prof. N. B. Mahuron and Geo.
McCaustland. They are fine lot of
boys and took their defeat good
naturedly. We had the pleasure of
meeting a number of our young
friends and were glad to see them.
The two teams will again meet ir
the tournament which will be held al
Bucklin.

COUNCIL ACCEPTS REPORT
OF PAVING ENGINEER
Bids Being Advertised For This Week
and Work Expected to
Start Soon.

Mr.. Ruckle of the Ruckle Engi-
neering Company was present at the
meeting of the city council Wednes-
day evening and submitted blue
prinst for the proposed paving in
Liberal. His report was accepted
and an ordinance passed calling for
bids for the work.
The time for receiving bids will
close March 81, and if same are sat
isfactory work should be started
within a few weeks after that date.
The council also passed an ordin-
ance providing for modern storm
sewer on Kansas avenue and Second
street. This will take care of the
water on these streets and will be a
mighty good thing. Especially has
the standing water on Second street
been a nuisance this winter.
Harry Tidd of the Western Paw
ing Brick Manufacturers Association
gives assurance that there will be
plenty of bids among the members of
the association.
Now that the city has taken the
lead in providing permanent streets
we are expecting to hear the farm
ers get busy for permanent country
roads. Since the Federal aid has
been increased to so per cent there
is no reason why we should not have
some permanent roads in Seward
county.
We've started-let's go.

TUSCANIA VICTIM RETURNS
FROM OVERSEAS

Albert Bennie of LaKemp returned
Monday to his home in this county
having received an honorable dis
charge from the army. Pvt Bennie
served with the Goth Division and
was in the big fight at Chateau
Thierry. He was also on board the
Inflated Tuscania when that ship
was torpedoed by Hun sub off the
coast of Ireland, but was among the
fortunate and landed safely on the
Emerald Isle. He has had a Won
derful experience but, like most of
the boys who saw real service, is re-
luctant to tell of his encounters. He
has promised us a more complete
story some day and when we get it
we will pass it on to Herald readers.
Pvt. Bennie was strong in his praise
Of the Red Cross. He says they hold
first honors everywhere for they were
always on the job and stayed with the
boys thru thick and thin. 1t is in
deed gratifying to hear such reports.
No where is it said that the Red Cross
failed. Just before entraining for
camp Pvt. Bennie came in this Office
and left his Red Cross membership.
He came in the first thing on his re-
turn to tell US how glad he was that
he did, how much he honored the no
BILE Red Cross men and women and
that henceforth and forever he could
not say or do too much for the Red
Cross. Reed Bingham Of Logan al
so of the Goth Division and who re-
turned recently, speaking at the
Methodist church February 18th, was
also loud in his praise of the Red
Cross and avowed that though he was
now returned and a civilian again, he
would ever hold the Red Cross in
highest esteem and support it first,
last and all the time. All the boys
feel that "The Greatest Mother in
the World" was in truth a mother to
them while on the field of carnage

ANOTHER NEW BUSINESS
LOCATES IN LIBERAL
Hutchinson Men Will Put in Exide
Battery Service Station at
Early Date

C. f. Hale was here from Hutchin-
son the last of the week and made
arrangements for opening an Exide
Battery Service Station here.
The new business will be known as
the Exide Service Station but the To-
cation has not been definitely settled
Mr.. Hole says he has a choice of two
locations, and will decide in the next
few days.
With Mr.. Hale, James Criswell and
A. f. England will be interested in
the business. They have a territory
comprising eight counties and will
keep one or two members of the firm
on the road the most of the time.
The gentlemen are experienced in
the Exide line and expect to build
up a great business in their territory.
The fact that the Exide battery
will be the one used in the Ford
Sedans gives them assurance of a
good business from the start.
The new firm is starting out right
by taking a good advertising space in
this paper. Look it up and keep your
eye on their space for something in
teresting from time to time.

THE TRUTH

Are the people of the United States
for the League of Nations?
An editorial in the Topeka Capital
says:
Five great farm organizations last
week telegraphed the President "the
support of the organized farmers of
America for the league of nations" I"
Various large labor organizations
have likewise pledged labor's support
The superintendent branch of the
National Educational Association has
wired its support. The General War
Time Commission of the Churches
wired the President their "earnest
desire" for the league. The public is
generally making its sentiment felt.
The man who says the people are
not for League of Nations is either
actuated by selfish motives or does
not know what he is talking about.

LIBERAL BAND is AT
REGULAR PRACTICE
Members Coming Back From the
War and the Organization Is
Coming to Life.

Liberal had one of the best bands
in the country before the war, but
that little party pulled off for the
benefit of Kaiser Bill just about
ruined it. However the remaining
members would get together occa-
sionally and play a little, and on one
occasion mustered sufficient force to
play in public.
Now that the boys are coming back
the band is taking on new life and
regular practice is being held. 1t will
likely be but few months until the
membership will all be back and then
we will have some real music.
The Liberal band is the only or
ganization of its kind we have ever
known of which owned its own build
ing, and l.ept up permanent organ
ization. Possibly lot of people do
not know that the building just north
of the Armory is the property of the
Liberal Band, but such is the case,
and they are some of these days GO
ing to have valuable piece of prop
erty.
The town should take lot of
pride in the band and boost it along
whenever the opportunity affords,
and if it doesn't affort we might acci-
dentally manufacture reason for
wanting some music and give the
boys a chance to gather a little eX-
pense money.
+. f. Cawley is director Of the or
ganization and is putting in some
good licks for the band.
Notice the change in the j. +.
George Grocery Company ad this
week. Some more new prices on
good things to eat.

HAVE FINISHED INVOICING
THE EDISON GARAGE STOCK
Day & McHugh Now in Charge of
the Business Purchased
Last Week.

The work of invoicing the stock of
the Edison Garage has been finished,
the details of the transaction COM
pleted, and the new owners are now
in charge of the business.
Mr.. McHugh will move here at an
early date. He expects to either buy
or build a residence as soon as pos
sible. Both Mr.. McHugh and his
estimable wife have been among the
leaders in public work at Bucklin and
will be a valuable addition to the
business and social life of Liberal.
Their son is still with the army of oc-
cupation in France, but will be asso-
ciated with the business upon his re-
turn.
Mr.. Day will remain in charge of
the Bucklin garage and will attend
to his furniture and Undertaking
business. Bucklin is a mighty good
little town and may hold Sanford, but
we are not going to be surprised to
hear any time that he has decided
to move to Liberal.

WOUNDED SOLDIERS WANT
CANDY AND MAGAZINES
Liberal Girl Writes of Trip to Bass
Hospital at Fort
Riley.

]. N. Evans of the Peoples State
Bank is in receipt of letter from
his daughter, Mabel, in which she
speaks of trip to the base hospital
at Fort Riley.
We are printing the letter and
hope our people will give heed to the
needs of the soldiers there. There
are dozens of excellent candy max
ers in Liberal and just think of the
pleasure those boys would enjoy eat
ing some of that delightful divinity
our ladies know so we'll how to make
The letter follows:
Manhattan, Kansas,
Sunday eve, March 10, 1919.
Dear Dad:
Just got back a little while ago
, from a trip to the base hospital at
Ft. Riley and from seeing the
wounded soldiers who have returned
from overseas. 1t was quite an in
teresting trip, but one l will never
forget. l never saw so much suf-
fering in my life. Poor men, some
of them with legs and arms off, some
with gunshots or holes most any
place on their bodies. thought peo-
pie exaggerated until saw for my
self. 1t was real sad, but still most
of the men were so cheerful.
We distributed flowers thru the
ward and talked to the men most
near all afternoon.
I've been wondering if you couldn't
get some of the Liberal people in
terested and some week send lot
of new magazines and some candy
or like. 1t is rather hard on Man
haitian to keep this up all the time,
and it doesn't seem to me it is any
more their duty to do this for the
men than it is for the other coun-
ties over the state. Last week lot
of people from Brown county got
together and sent rs pounds of home
made candy. 1t doesn't necessarily
have to be home made candy as Her
shey bars and other candy is accept
able. They say they also have hard
time keeping supply of new maga
zines on hand and also new books.
I think it would be nice if some of
the men would take it on themselves
to send each week one or two copies
of some magazine to one of the hos
pitals. Ask mamma what she thinks
about the aid society or some society
making some candy. / am going to
write the Camp Fire Girls to see if |
they do not want to.
l don't know who it would best to
write to about the magazines, ETC.,
whether the Red Cross or the Cham
ber of Commerce, or who; so if you
have time you might talk to some
of them and see what they think
about it, and then if they want to do
it / will see that the stuff gets out
to he hospital, or will send them the
name of some one who will, as there
are women here who go out every
week. Or if they want to send direct
to the hospital, l will send an address.
l think it would be mighty fine
thing for Seward county or Liberal
to do. Those boys belong as much
to Liberal as they do to Manhattan,
and have done as much for her.

FIGHT VISITS KINGMAN
OFFICER OF ARGONNE

Lieutenant w. y. CarSWell OF Cne
10th Signal Battalion, who com
nanded his unit in the Argonne
fight, was in Kingman Wednesday as
field representative of the Carswell
Manufacturing Company of Kansas
City, handling bridge supplies.
He left the work of his company
to go to war and saw about all the
heavy fighting. After the Argonne
drive he was ordered home to this
country to take a place as instructor
in a signal school, and that took
place just few days before the ar
mistice was signed. He was then
mustered out of service and has re-
sumed his former work.
Lieutenant Carswel says the 35th
about which there has been so much
talk of late days faced situation a
little more severe than some organi-
cations. The swath of territory over
which it had to advance straddled a
small river which meandered some
thing like letter S, so that it was
necessary to cross it several times in
the forward movement. The Germans
had blown up all the bridges and also
tore up the1ground and the roads in
such way that nothing running on
wheels had much of chance, while
the infantry pressed forward. He
corroberates the statement that their
own artillery barrage fell short for
while and did some damage, as the
boys had gone forward beyond the
range and put it behind them. Being
in the signal work it was the duty of
Lieutenant Carswell to get word
back to the gunners to advance their
range. Other units tried the same,
but passing thru both German and
American barrages gave man about
one chance in ten thousand of ever
getting back to the guns. One of his
own men, Mead Ward of Topeka,
whom he ordered back to carry word
to the artillery did manage to pass
alive, and was later decorat-
ed with the Croix de Guerre and the
medal for distinguished service, and |
named in the dispatches.
He said there was a lack of air
planes, but did not know whether the
blame for that could be definitely
placed anywhere. Some things hap
pened in the battle which no one
could have forseen. The speed of the
advance, which the officers were un-
able to check, was one of them. The
fact that the artillery could not go
till the engineers had rebuilt
bridges enough was another. The
of communicating quick
y with the gunners was another. But
some things like this occurred in prac-
,ically every battle, and were taken
is part of the game.
He said that the Germans had
heir finest troops at this point and
we're trying to hold it at all hazards,
Is a defeat there meant the fall of
Metz and the end of the German lines
IN French territory. They fought
With the utmost determination and
courage, dying at their guns by hun
lreds rather than give back. Nothing 1
'ut the American troops moving for
ward resistlessly, could have driven {
hem from their holds. Everybody
Use had tried and failed. So the
Kansas and Missouri boys jumped
nto the job and did it up.-Kingman
