Barons After Gore; to Play
 Philly Today
PROBABLE LINE-ups.

Molesworth and Cravath arc plan ming 10 send their boys through an- other battle at Redwood Park today, activities commencing at 3:15 o'clock. This fourth meeting of the Barons and the Phils promises to be historic one.
 In the first place, each team has a chip on the shoulder The Phils are considerably peeyed over their poor showing against the Vols Sunday, and for she same reason the Barons are rather upset. Tn three trials Moley's men have not been able to defeat the Phils, while the Vols, cellar champs of 1919, come along and do the big leaguers up in first attempt.
 Both teams were put through hard practice yesterday. Both managers are determined to utilize these last few days of the training season to the best of their ability. Two weeks more and the 1920 season opens in both the Ma tional and the Southern Leagues.
 Molesworth announced last night that Coffindaffer will start in the box for the Barons. Joe always has had a plentiful stock of speed and curves, but has been troubled by lack of con- trol. He seems to be going better this season, however He should pitch a fine game today. Meeker will be sent in during the latter innings.
 Tom Stevenson, Baronial third base man, is about ready to resume active work on the diamond again. In fact, there is possibility of him playing at his position this afternoon, In place of Outfielder Griffith, who has been performing the duties of keystoner during the preseason battling.
 Gavvy Cravath will in all probability start one of his veteran hurlers against the Barons, either Meadows or Rixev. He will likely use the latter during the early innings.
 Ray Bancroft has about recovered from his attack of influenza, and is ex- pected to play at his position, short- stop, this afternoon.

EXPECT TO SPUD IN WELL
WITHIN NEXT FEW DAYS

The Seward County Oil & Gas
Company has all machinery on the
ground for their test and are now
busy setting the boiler and rigging
up the derrick.
We are informed that at the pres
ent rate of progress they will be able
to spud in within the next few days.
Stock salesmen have been en-
ployed and are at work placing addi-
tional stock. They are going to give
Liberal folks the opportunity to take
the stock and keep control at home.
If they are not successful they will
go on the road and sell to anyone
wanting it.
Better buy some stock and keep
the company under control of Liberal
people and know what progress the
well is making at all times.

Q. P. HOLLAND JURY
VERDICT mot GUILTY

The Holland Oldham case was
tried in District Court last week, the
jury returning a verdict Of not guilty
after being out something more than
two hours.
The outcome is very pleasing to
the Democrat as well as other friends
of Mr.. Holland We were always Of
the opinion that the case should
never have been taken into court,
necessitating Mr.. Holland in spend
ing lot of money.
We congratulate the jury on their
good judgment in the matter and
venture the opinion that the verdict
will be favorably received by a great
majority of the people of Seward
county.
This case was pretty thoroly tried
in the newspapers of the county
during the war and the stand of the
Democrat has been vindicated by the
verdict of the jury.

TELEPHONE COMPANY is
SEVERAL MAKING ADDITIONS
Additional Switchboard Room and
More Gables Will Permit
Growth of Service.

l.. w. Stevenson of the Liberal
Telephone Company last week in
formed the Democrat that the com
pany had purchased and would in
stall as soon as they arrived, three
additional sections for the switch
board, as well as more cable and
other necessary appliances for en-
larging and improving the service.
The company has been improving
the service until at the present time
there is no cause for complaint, but
the board in use at present is so well
filled that more room will be needed
by the time it is installed.
There is a big demand for phones
and while they are hard to get the
company is making every effort to ac-
commodate the public.
Liberal is growing so fast that it
takes lot of effort to keep up with
the demands, but Mr.. Stevenson says
he is determined to give the people
the very best possible.

LEGION PLAY WAS WELL
RECEIVED AT GUYMON

The members of the Liberal Legion
and their ladies gave their play at
Guymon last Friday night to a crowd
ed house, and brought back a neat
sum for the Legion treasury.
Members of the company are loud
in their praise of the treatment they
received at the hands Of the Guymon
people.
Their money was no good that
evening, and after the play a
luncheon was served for them.
One of the lady members of the
company claims that the play was
more appreciated there than at Lib
eral because there was so much more
applause. However, this is an er-
roneous impression. We are glad
the Guymon people like the play and
showed it, but we also feel that our
own folks were equally as pleased.
With the talent in the Legion
bunch we should have more plays
and the surrounding towns may have
the benefit of them also.

BASKET BALL MEET FOR
SOUTHWEST CHAMPIONSHIP
Many of Strong Teams from This
Part of State Will Play at
Mullinville March "a.

Liberal Post of the American Le-
gion will send their crack basket ball
team to Mullinville March "a. The
Legion and town teams of number
of the cities in the southwest part of
the state are meeting on that day to
decide the championship of this sec
ton. Many of the very best teams
in the state will compete-Dodge
City, Garden City, Bucklin, Green's
burg and others-making the contest
one of real interest. Our team here
has made an excellent showing this
season and there is no doubt that
they will stand good chances in max
ing a place. The Legion will prob
ably send McHargue and Wood as
forwards, Griffith as center, Heaton
and Sutton as guards and Augerot,
Bane and Engle as substitutes. With
a lineup like this one, it will be hard
for any team in the conference to
pile up much of a score against them.

OUR SPRING MAGAZINE
SECTION

We wish to call attention to the
Spring Fashion Section in this issue,
and ask that our readers give it spe-
cial attention. We believe we are
safe in saying that this is the first
time anything Of this nature has
been attempted in Liberal and the
success of future efforts depends up
on the sentiment created by this one.
In this section will be found arti-
cles by the leading fashion writer's
of the country, and a careful perusal
will enable one to buy spring gar
ments intelligently.
The merchants of Liberal have
patronized this section literally, and
done their part that the general pub
lie might know what is the newest
and best in all lines of spring mer-
chandise from hats to shoes.
This is just another example of the
kind of service the Democrat is Civ
ing. With the MeyerBoth advertis-
ing cut service, and first class print
ers to put up the paper we are giving
our advertisers service equal to the
best to be found in any city regard
less if size, and the eighteen pages
of live advertising in this issue is
proof sufficient that Liberal mer-
chants are appreciative.
Liberal is a good town, our mer-
chants are up-to-date and the Demo-
crat is keeping ahead of all compe-
tition in the matter of service and
quality.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS AHEAD
FOR LIBERAL CREAMERY
Manager Jensen Confident Plant
Will Be Crowded to Handle
Business.

Manager C. B. Jensen of the Lib
eral Equity Creamery is feeling jubi-
liant over the prospects for business
this season. Already the ice cream
business is going good and with the
advent of warm weather he forsees
volume of business never before en-
joyed.
Mr.. Jensen has been playing the
game safely during the winter
months months and has been able
to show profit during the worst sea-
son, and with the excellent prospects
ahead he thinks the institution will
get on solid ground financially. AL
ready he is beginning to worry about
whether or not he can buy enough
cream to keep the ice cream custom
ers satisfied. 1t is going to take a
lot of material and he is urging the
farmers to keep the plant supplied.
With the advantageous location, a
good plant in good condition there is
no reason why this seasons business
should not be the best in the history
of the institution.

LEGION STILL WINS;
HOOKER THE VICTIM

In a really hard fought game
Tuesday night, at Hooker, the Legion
five won by score of So to 81. This
score sounds as if the game might
have been "punk"-but it wasn't.
In the first half of the game the
Liberal team was outplayed and at
the end of the period the ! score
stood: Liberal 16, Hooker 26. 1t
certainly seemed that luck was with
the Legion with both feet, for in the
last half of the scramble the tide was
turned and also the score. From all
reports it was a good game and the
fellows say they certainly received
fine treatment.

Perry Eaton says he has griev-
ance against the Scandrett & Fuest
hardware store. One of those nice
spring days last week Perry entered
the store and bought a rake. He
says the saleman may have misunder-
stood him, but anyway when he got
the rake home he found it just an or
dinary, everyday garden tool, while
he had called for a self-working rake.
Since the firm is composed of good
fellows Perry says he will not start
proceedings for cruelty to animals,
and will try to persuade his wife
that it is healthy to work out of
doors.
