G. H. Ellis, who was at one time
engaged in business here but who
now lives at Redondo Beach, Calf,
is in town this week greeting old
friends. He still has a warm place
in his heart for Liberal and it might
be possible that we would return here
to make the town his home. Mr..
Ellis is quite prominent in Oddfellow
circles, instituting the Rebekah lodge
here, and as a compliment to him the
charter members of the Rebekah
lodge descended in a body on the
Oddfellow's meeting Tuesday night.
Speeches and a general good time
was the result.

STARK MUSIC STOCK
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Building and Stock a Total Loss,
But Some Insurance
on Both.

A fire of unknown origin destroyed
the stock of the Stark Music House
and damaged the building beyond re-
pair last Friday night.
The blaze was discovered shortly
after midnight and the fire company
was prompt in answering the call,
but the fire gained such headway that
it was impossible to save any of the
stock, and the building was so badly
damaged as to be a total loss.
How the fire started is not known,
but the blaze seems to have originat-
ed near the hue which gives the i'm
preston that this was the cause.
Mr.. Stark left the store about sew
en-thirty that evening leaving a fire
in the stove as was his custom and
he shares the opinion that the fire
resulted from this cause
The building is owned by l.. w.
Stevenson of the Liberal Telephone
Company, and since it cannot be re
paired under the ordinance regard
ing repairing of frame buildings in
the fire limits, it will probably be
torn down.
This is another of the old land
marks of Liberal
Mr.. Stark says he will secure an
office as soon as possible and devote
his time to selling talking machines
and tuning pianos, but does not ex-
pect to open another music house for
some time at least

WON FROM
FOWLER WE'D. NIGHT

A rather one-sided game of basket
ball was played between Liberal and
Fowler at the Armory last night, Lib
eral taking the long end of IA to
AZ score.
The game started off like Fowler
might make a showing, the Liberal
fellows displaying no pep" at all,
but it was not long until they tight
ened up and Fowler had no show at
all.

DISTRICT COURT is
TRYING HOLLAND CASE

AS the Democrat goes to press the
@. P. Holland case is being tried. A
jury was secured shortly before noon
today and the case was opened at
once.
This case is attracting a great deal
of attention, being possibly the most
discussed case to be tried here in
years..

The editor of the Democrat has
been asked to become a candidate for
State Printer on the Democratic
ticket. We have always had "hank-

that if we had it there would be a
lot of "authors" who would not have
the satisfaction of seeing their
"works" in print. We'd probably be
a one-termer but if we could land the
job we would be satisfied with one
term

In Liberal we have a girls basket
ball team that thruout the entire sea-

playing is brilliant and they are some
class, in fact none of the teams in
this country have even made them
play hard. They are sure winners
and should have the support of the
whole town.
The Liberal high school is sending
them to Lawrence to win the cham
pionship of the state, and they will
certainly make strong effort to do

rows are partly parasitic on house

rows are partly parasitic on house
martins, so starlings profit by the la
bors OF woodpeckers. They not only
seize on the holes bored in past
seasons, but wait until the woodpeck-
ers have tunneled a new chamber in
dead or living wood, and then evict
them by persistence rather than force.
In many districts nine woodpeckers'
holes out of every ten have become
the holes of starlings; they are easily
distinguished in later summer by the
filth which young starlings eject. More
rarely starlings practise in an elemen-
tary degree the parastism Of the
cuckoo. A starling's egg is now and
then found placed among the larger
spotted eggs in the nest Of the jack
daw, which also builds in some of the
crevices which starlings covet There
is no known case of jackdaw hatch
ing such an alien egg, and bringing up
the young bird; so that the incipient
habit has so far brought the startling
no advantage. IL ii interesting be-
cause the cuckoo may have developed
her present habits from similar tent
alive beginnings, and also as betray-
ing tendency toward those degener-
ate habits in bird when we must
admit to be normally faithful to its
mate and attentive to its young. But
who can tell whether the startling, as he
sits and initiates the blackbird or pee
wit upon the chmney-pot, is not
secretly looking forward to dissimula-
ton on more comprehensive scale-to
years when other birds will bring UP
all his nestlings for him, and he will
spend the whole season in making us
believe he is curfew, or publishing
to the world the more uncouth noises
of our home? He is a bird of uncapny
gifts.

Europe Getting To Its Feet.

During the war it was often hard to
tell from the articles in the newspapers
what the precise truth about the mil
itary situation was. To-day it is al
most as difficult to tell what is the pre-
else situation financially and indus
trially in France, in Germany and in
Italy. Correspondents are hopeful or
depressed according to their tempera-
ments, to the source of their informa-
ton, or to the effect they wish to pro-
duce on their readers. There is still
propaganda, commercial and political,
mixed with the impartial and conscien-
tious news that some reporters send
across the ocean, and it is often hard
to separate the trustworthy from the
disingenious.
But it is clear enough that Western
Europe is getting to work again. 1t
is recovering from the condition of
shocked and dazed suffering into which
the war plunged it. The only question
is whether the burden of war debt
laid upon the shoulders of the people
Is too great TO be successfully borne,
even by willing and thrifty workers.
The best opinion is that it is not. ID
Western Europe does not fall again
into the chaos of war it will gradually
work its way back to solvency and
prosperity. The weak spot is Ger
many, for the morale as we'll as the re-
sources of Germany has been sadly
weakened. And yet in Germany il is
political rather than business incapac
lty that menaces the State. The
present government is tmid and inef-
fectual; yet any other would be still
more dangerous, for the radical social
lists would inevitably swing Germany
nearer the fatal policy of the Boil
sheviki, and the monarchists would re-
store Germany that no one else could
trust. France is hard at work and do
ing nobly. Although half of its men
between the ages of twenty and fortv
are gone, it is repairing the losses and
ravages of war and beginning to cut a
figure again in international business.
Czecho-Slovakia is actually pros
perous-the brightest spot anywhere in
Central Europe. Italy has had its
troubles and has more before it, but
1t seems every week to stand a little
hrmer on its feet. Belgium is in good
case working steadily and Industrious
ly. Only in the dismembered frap-
ments of the Austrian Empire, in de-
feated and Inundated Germany and in
Red Russia the economic situation
dlscouraging. Russia of course is the
key to the situation in Central and
Eastern Europe, and that key will not
unlock the gate to industry and produc
ton while the Bolshevik theorists pre-.
vail. Western Europe meanwhile
struggles to its feet slowly and pain
fully but with courage and determine
ton.

earring Fifty Tons of Water Twelve Miles
Feat That Used to be Performed bv Everv Farm Wife

The development of electric labor
saving machinery for the farm has
brought to light some veY interesting
figures. Take for instance the matter
of pumping and carrying water.
For all household purposes such as
drinking, cooking, washing, scrubbing,
and cleaning, the average farm family
will use about gallons per person
every day or AZ gallons for a family
of six. Now AZ gallons of water
will weigh $50 pounds and if those AZ
gallons are pumped and carried on on
ly 800 days out of the year it will mean
that some one will have to pump and
carry lOOO,SO0 pounds. or over so tons
OF water every year. Furthermore, if
3-gallon bucket is used it will mean
Ia trips to the well every day, and if
the well is is feet from the house, this
will mean 3Oxl4 or 420 feet daily. In
only 300 days this will amount 10 l26,-
600 feet or nearly "a miles.
So he farmers wife who pumps and

Just one of themany tasks that cleo

the modern farm wife. Little electric
light and power plants are doing the
washing, ironing, churning and sep
arating as well as the pumping And
OF course in addition to cheap, con-
venlent electric power these electric
plants are furnishing an abundance Of
bright, safe electric light all over the
house and barns. Brightness, safety.
convenlences and economy of labor are
the things which have recommended
electricity to thousands of farm homes
ana the next few years will see this
universal servant employed as much
by the farmer and his family as b.
their city neighbors.
