this secret of victorious living; yet how hard for most of us to attain as we rush here and there grabbing all we can get. Here was a woman who came to death, and it was not death at all for she had learned the secret of giving. As daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend and citizen, her idea was to give. Her exquisite kind- ness, her thoughtful benevolence, her aeounding hospitality-all were but chaste expressions of her desire to give. Her love of home, and music and painting and flowers; her quickness to see pure fun; her sense of the pathetic-all these were shot through by her desire and deter mination to give. It needs not to go into particulars, but many a lonely child, many forgotten rnan and woman, many a friend who needed sympathy. will meet her in the other country and make her life there blessed. Many a vagrant deed of love has already come back to her on white wings.
 'She learned her lessons from God. She was devout, simple-hearted Christian woman She had warm, personal devo- tion to Jesus Christ Beholding Him as in a mirror she was transformed from glory to glory into the same image

H. F. BOLTON FOR
REGISTER OF DEEDS
Seeks Republican Nomination in
Primaries This Fall

H. F. Bolton announces his inten-
ton to seek the nomination for the
office of Register of Deeds subject to
the will of the Republican voters this
fall.
Mr.. Bolton handed his announce
ment in a couple of weeks ago but
through an oversight, mention. of his
candidacy has not been made before.
Mr.. Bolton is known to a great
many of the people of the country and
city and his announcement will be
well received by those who know him
best He was for some time pastor of
the Christian church in this city,
leaving here on account of the illness
of Mrs. Bolton. After trying other
climates and finding them no more
conducive to health than that of this
section the faiily returned to Liberal
to reside.
While Mr.. Bolton happens to be on
the opposite side of the political
fence from this paper we will say
frankly that there is nothing that
could be said against him, should we
desire to do so.
Mr. Boltonwill make a strong can
didate for the Republicans and will
have no opposition in his own party.

SKY.HIGH PRICES TO GREET
C. o. p. DELEGATES
Visitors to Republican Convention To
Find Chicago Mansions Open
For "Consideration"
(By United Press)

Chicago, May 20.-Three million
dollars will change hands here during
convention week in hte matter Of
housing delegates and visitors to the
G. o. P. national convention, accord
ing to estimates made here today.
Indications were many visitors to
the convention will spend sleepless
nights unless they want to park
mattress on Chicago's lake front and
risk the marrow chilling lake breezes
through the night.
More than $4,000 visitors are ex-
pectedto be in Chicago during the xe-
citing week and of these several thou
sand may have to go homeless unless
Chicagoans can be induced to give up
rooms in their own homes.
Aristocratic north shore residents
have already set the example but il
the price they demand is followed by
others, visitors will have to go home
less after they leave here, if they pay
them. Wealthy Chicagoans are ask
ing two and three thousand dollars
for letting out their homes during
convention week.
All uOlSlo lIlG are DOOhtus uC
last room was sold more than month
ago. Prices for rooms in Michigan
Ave hotels range from $40 to 500
day for room.
Other hotels charge from $l5 up.
Lodging houses, ordinarily charging
35 and so cents boosted their rates to
SO and So night.
Delegates will not have to roam
Chicago streets in search of place to
live. The national committee months
ago took up the matter of reseving
rooms for them. Women delegates
will have an abundance of rooms to
select from. There will be about ten
hostesses for each woman delegate
and each is willing to find spare room
for the guest.
Five thousand visitors to the con-
vention have already reserved room
in addition to the reservations made
by the delegates.
"Millionaire" row on the Gold
Coast is offering many of its choice
mansions to visitors. They are willing
to give them up to the convention vis-
itors for the period of the convention
for a consideration. The consider
alton amounts to three, four and five
dollars. The rental in
cludes the family usual staff of serv-
ants.
Mrs. w. A. Vincent offers her place

Wilson Decides Allies
and Germany Must
Work Out Own
Policy.
AGREEMENT OF
THE PREMIERS
DANGER TOU. S.
Important Cabinet Meeting Results
in Decision That U. S. Will Not
Further Aid in Financing Eu-
rope Because of Agreement
Saddling German Indemni-
ty on This Country.
(By United Press)

Washington, May 20.-President
Wilson and his cabinet in session yes
terday, decided that Germany and
the Allies must work out their own
financial recovery unaided by the
United States.
1t is believed that this decision
was precipitated by the financial
agreement reached by Lloyd George
and Premier Miller and ratified at
the conference held at Smyth, Eng
land
That agreement would heavily in
volve the United States, and is be-
lieved here to virtually place the
United States in the position of un-
derwriting the German indemnity
tentatively set at thirty million dol
lars.
The decision will be far reaching
in its effect upon the financial situa-
tion in this country. In financial cir
cles there has been an uncertainty
not beneficial to the country at large,
and important undertakings have
hinged upon the decision of the Pres
ident.
1t is expected that the settlement
of this question will relieve the finan-
cial pressure already beginning to be
felt in some parts of the country.

C. L. LIGHT WILL
AGAIN BE CANDIDATE
Present Incumbent of County Attor-
ney's Office Would Succeed
Himself

County Attorney G. L. Light, the
present county attorney, this week
places his announcement in the Demo-
crat and gets into the race for county
attorney
Mr.. Light has been on the fence
for some time and only this week de-
cided to again become a candidate.
Many of his friends insisted upon
his entering the race and he finally
yielded to their wishes.
Mr.. Light has held the office the
past two terms and his official acts
have ben open to all, so there is little
necessity of our introducing Mr.
Light or attempting to tell of his ad-
ministration.
If he makes as strong a race for the
office of county attorney as he did
for director of the Liberal Chamber
of Commerce it will certainly be a
whirlwind campaign.
