LEASING CONTINUES TO
BE PRINCIPAL BUSINESS

Although there is not any wells
that are known producers in the new
Liberal field, the town is fast taking
on the appearance of a real oil town.
Leases are the principal topic of
interest, and everyone is talking leas-
es and assignments Many strangers
can be seen on the streets and driving
over the country.
While a few tracts have sold at
enormous prices the trend is not to go
wild and the majority of acreage is
changing hands at from one dollar to
five dollars an acre, depending upon
the distance from the drilling wells.
Both tests are shut down this week.
and while we have been unable to get
line on the Traders test we learn
that the Seward Oil & Gas company
is making arrangements to again re-
sumo drilling.
Stories of find in the west or
Traders test continue to circulate but
whether there is any foundation to
the stories or not is of course un-
known.
The great majority of our people
give credence to them and many are
acting upon the presumption that
there has been a showing or a least
a favorable indication.

BIG HOTEL MEETING
AT COURT HOUSE TONIGHT
Five Story Hotel and Office Building
Proposition Before the Chamber
of Commerce

At the court house tonight at 8
O'Clock will be held a meeting looking
to the erection of five story mdern
hotel building.
From what information we have
been able to secure we surmise that
it S the intention to organize COM
pany to put over the proposition, over
two-thirds of the required amount be-
ing already in sight.
A site has been suggested and
plans have been drawn and will be ex
hibited at the meeting tonight.
The building will have 93 guest
rooms, twenty-three office suites and
business room on the ground floor,
1t will be Thoroughly modern and a
big boost for Liberal.
Everybody should be on hand to-
night to hear this proposition dis
cussed.
As we understand it the Chamber
of Commerce is only asked to give
its moral support to the proposition
and this should be easy to secure
since nothing is more needed or will
contribute more to the growth of Lib
eral than modern hotel building.

HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL
is ON THE MARKET
First Annual Issued by L. H. S, Well
Gotten Up and In Demand
By Students and Friends

"The Mirage" the annual of Liber-
al High School has at last made its
appearance and there are many fav-
cradle comments heard, not only on
the get-up Of the book, but the typo
graphical appearance
The editors and managers of the
mirage" had a lot to contend with,
bu they did we'll and are to be con-
gratulate on their effort.
On account of the crowded condi-
ton of the engraving houses it was
almost impossible to get the engrav-
ings and the last of them arrived but
few days before the book was print
ed. The delay in getting these made
the task of printing azdifficult one,
but Notwithstanding the trouble in
this quarter the job is very credi-
table one.
The business men of the town were
very liberal in their support of the
Annual and another year will be
more willing to back it.
If you did not get one there is a
small supply at the Taylor Drug
Store but they will not last long Bet
ter get one before it is too late.

ROADS

There are three links in the trim
ity of transportation. The railroad,
the rivers and canals and the modern
highway.
For years western Kansas has liv-
ed in the age of railroads; the ex-
tending lines reach across the broad
prairies like the tail Of comets across
limitless sky. Industrial develop
ment was keyed to the railroad. First
the canals and rivers came in the
United States for transportations ;
then the railroads. Just as the rivers
and canals proved inadequate be-
cause they did not penetrate to in
land points, so people are learning
that railroads do not tap all sources
of commerce. So the country is turn
ing to highways.
And the chief stimulus to the good
goods movement is the mOterization
of highway hauling.
And the immediate question before
Liberal and Seward county is to work
out plan for the improvement of the
highways throughout the county. The
problem is going to have to be grad
ually worked out, and the time is
getting ripe to copcentrate efforts
along that line.
Let us face real, cold blooded facts
in this article which is not written
primarily for a "boost" article, but
for the consumption of home forces.
Seward county is behind in her
road building campaign; the greater
portion of the counties of the state
are due to cumbersome and made
quate laws.
Did you ever read that little story:
"The vision of better roads?" Well,
here it is, so good that it is being
used in this article:
"What did the teamster see in old
en- days driving his heavy loads from
farm to town, over hills and prairies,
thru mud and flood and storm and
roads, his strong horses straiEing and
sweating thru dust and mire--what
did that hardy teamster see in those
long, hard roads behind his laboring
team?
"Across the years he saw vision,
prophetic, happy, haunting and in
spired-.a vision cf better roads, in
The days thai were to be He saw
broad, srGo, IN highroads running ev-
erywhere in vas: network over the
country, roads without dust or mud
or WEAKNESS or the constant labor
of repair; roads pleasant to travel
leading to great cities and friends
and business and on adventurous,
delightful journeys. He saw his boys
and girls going to better schools, and
better satisfied with their homes. He
saw an end to dreariness and monot-
ony and isolation; he saw his produce
quickly carried to market, and any
thing he needed brought as quickly
back to his own door He saw happi-
ness, comfort and prosperity in the
vision of better roads-the vision of
things which his energy and resource
fulness and courage are today bring
ing to pass"
Is that not little sermonette on
good roads?
The only way Seward county can
connect up with the government road
money is to issue bonds; the senti-
ment is not yet ripe to place a bond
issue before the people; the farmer
of the county is just beginning to see
the light. Only a short time ago a
bond issue was proposed; that's as

LOOKS GOOD TO
LIBERAL FOLKS
Big Tank Car With "Vickers Petro-
cum Company's" on Side in
In Yards

Aldred Vickers is a Liberal boy
and will be remembered by all the old
timers here who knew him when he
was "kid" Aldred attended the Lib
eral schools, busted out window
panes playing ball on the vacant lots
and was just one Of the kids, engag-
ing in the pranks played by the
bunch
If anyone had any thought for his
future it was that he woud continue
to be "of the bunch" get job in a
store or a bank and remain here.
But in this way they would have been
disappointed.
Aldred had more than ordinary
foresight into things. He didn't like
Jobs any too well-he wanted to
make money, so when he finished
school he ventured out into the world
in search of riches
He finally drifted into the oil game
but instead of playing the sucker"
end, he got on he paying side of the
game an before long the word went
out that Aldred Vickers had "made
killing"
Soon after this the Vickers Petro-
leum Company began business. We
are reliably informed that Aldred, or
"Jack" as the oil fraternity knows
him, was really the company, but few
shares being held by outsiders.
A few days ago there appeared in
the local railroad yards large new
tank car, and in big letters on the
side appeared the words Vickers Pet
roleum Company, Potwin, Kansas.
The car is one Of seventy-five own
ey by the company. 1t is the largest
type car, A. R A Special, 10000 gal
Ions capacity an is consigned to the
Liberal Oil & Supply Co, east of the
light plant
The inscription reads V. P. r x
534 It is to be spotted this afternoon
and may be seen at the tanks of the
Liberal Oil & Supply Co.
Aldred Vickers is a son Of W. H.
Vickers of Liberal and being one Of
our boys we feel the public will join
us in feeling of pride that he has
made good in the world.

WOODS AND BLACK OPEN
"5" STATES LEASING AGENCY

James Woods and Ellis Black have
taken a suite of rooms at the Sanford
and opened the "5" States Leasing
Agency for the handling of oil leases
in Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, New
Mexico and Texas.
Messrs. Woods & Black have finish
ed their work on the oil map and the
work is now in the hands of the print
ers. AS soon as delayed half tones
arrive the maps will be ready for dis
tribution and it is hoped to have them
out the first of the week.
They request us to announce that
anyone desiring copies of these maps
to mail to friends should leave their
names with them or the Democrat
office and they will be sent.
Leasing is becoming more active
all the time and there are new entries
in the leasing game each week. Both
Black and Woods are experienced
in the leasing business and will no
doubt be able to get their share of
what is passing.
