COLLETT FAVORS HARD
ROAD NORTH OF TOWN
One of Our Enterprising Farmers
Gives Democrat Idea as to
Sentiment for Road.

W. E. Collett, one of the live farm
ers living north of town, read in the
Democrat last week our invitation for
the farmers to call and give us their
ideas in regard to the hard road
proposition, and the first time he was
in town he called at the Office and en-
dorsed the proposition.
Mr.. Collett believes that the time
has almost arrived when any old thing
is good enough for the farmer. He
contends that the farmer works as
hard or harder than anyone and that
he is just as much entitled to good
road to travel on as anyone else, and
he has the proposition figured out
right as to how this is to be brought
about. According to Mr.. Collett it
is up to the farmers to get together
and bring these things to pass for
themselves, and he says that he, for
one, is ready to get into the band
wagon and help boost for hard roads.
The Democrat was pleased to have
him call and express himself so fav-
orably, and we would like to have
every farmer in that territory give
us their views. 1t is not necessary
that you be favorable-we want to
hear both sides of the question dis
cussed, if there be those who take the
other side. We want to arrive at
some conclusion in the matter, and
figure that the best way to do it is to
get information from the people most
effected.
Come in and talk it over with US.
We are open to conviction.

Theodore Roosevelt
Died Monday Morning
Was One of Americas Most Widely
Known Men; a Wonderful
Political Leader.

Theodore Roosevelt, former presi-
dent, writer and soldier, died at his
home at Sycamore Hill, Oyster Bay,
Monday, January 6. He had been
suffering from rheumatism for some
time and it is thought that this af-
fected his heart.
Mrs. Roosevelt was the only mem
ber of the family at home. Early in
the morning she went to his room,
finding him dead.
Roosevelt has been much before the
public for the past twenty-five years
or more. His participation in the
Spanish-American war, the campaign
for the governorship of New York,
and for vice-president giving him
much publicity.
Upon the death of President Nc
Kinley he, as vice-president, succeed
ed to the presidency, and the follow
ing election resulted in his being
chosen president.
In 1912 he was again a candidate
for president, but bolted the conven-
ton, organized a new party and
headed the ticket. AS a result the
Democrats elected the president that
year However, Roosevelt went back
to his old party, and was mentioned
more than any other man as a posi-
BILE candidate at the next election.
Many were of the opinion that he
was the strongest candidate the Re-
publicans had for 1920.
AS a leader Roosevelt had few
equals. He was forceful character,
speaker and writer who compelled
attention, and thousands were eager
to follow him wherever he lead.
His death removes one of the wild
est known characters in American
history, and it is doubtful if there is
a man living today who can success
fully fill the place he occupied.

HAD EN- MADE AS
HE WANTED EN-

Perhaps some merchants are just
a little too particular to suit the
wholesalers, and no doubt one of
these is King Collier of the Collier
Harness Company.
Mr.. Collier wanted a stock of Auto
trunks. He knew about what peo-
pie would want, but was not able to
find it. He worried the travelling men
almost to death trying to get what
he wanted and failing to locate it he
made them go to work and make it
according to his own specifications.
He has a trunk that will answer the
purpose for which it is intended in
every detail, but it took a lot of effort
and explaining to get it just as he
wished Those who buy the trunks
will no doubt appreciate his patience
and effort.

Mrs. Henry shared with her hus-
band in the tolls and victories of
twelve years of the Methodist minis
try. She was happy in the work of
the Master in the different pastorates
that her husband served, and always
interested in the triumph of the Mas
ter's Kingdom.
Mrs. Henry was devoted to her
home and her family. Kindly and
sympathetic toward the unfortunate,
and gave of her time and services for
the relief of any such. She was
true and faithful friend and neigh

unafraid in the hour when her Mas
ter summoned her. She would have
liked to live for her home,, her family
and her Christ, but was resigned to
the Masters will and quietly and
courageously entered the shadow of
the valley and passed on up the sleeps
to the city of her God.

ternoon from the Methodist Church,
after which the remains, accompanied
by Elder Henry, were taken on No.

the sure signs of a substantial bust

Mr.. Ames has resided here so long
that he has been able to form a wide
acquaintance and demonstrate his
ability both as citizen and bust
ness man, and his connection with the
firm is valuable asset.
Mr.. Evans is Liberal boy who re-
ceived his early education in our
schools. He grew to manhood here
and already has demonstrated the
qualities that go to make a success
full business man.
According to Mr.. Ames the firm is
expecting a general business revival
in this section the coming year and
they are preparing to take care of all
that comes their way.

GOOD PRICES REALIZED
AT THE B. E. LYLE SALE

The B. E. Lyle sale near Lorena
last Friday was well attended re-
gardless of the almost impossible con-
dton of the roads, and good prices
were realized. Mr.. Lyle informs the
Democrat that he received close to
$1,000 more for his property than he
expected. This sale was advertised
exclusively in the Democrat and
proves our claims that this is the
newspaper in which to advertise
sales. Democrat advertising and Bob
Dckerson get the high dollar for
your property.

FEINBERG WILL CONTINUE
SALE TO JANUARY 81

AS announced in the ad in this issue
the Feinberg Store will continue the
big reduction sale until January 81.
On account of the impossible condi-
ton of the roads Mr.. Feinberg felt
that he owed it to his patrons who
lived in the country to do this. He
is taking Liberty bonds in payment
for goods and this is proving a big
help to those who have been unable
to thresh and are short of funds.

]. SAM WOODS VISITS
LIBERAL FRIENDS THIS WEEK

j. Sam Woods came from Green's
burg Monday to spend a week visit
ing old friends and telling them all
about his experiences in Uncle Sans
service. Sam was stationed in Van
couver, Washington, for several
months and just received his dis
charge before Christmas. Army life
evidently agreed with him as he is
much heavier in weight than ever be-
fore and really has a few pounds on
his brother, Zack, which is going
some for Sammy, who has always
been the lighter weight of the two.
