SOME FORTY BUSHEL
WHEAT is REPORTED
N. A. Smith Has Threshed Small
Field Which Gave Big Yield

N. A. Smith of the Hayne neighor.
hood visited this office the first OF
the week in response to our request
that he give us his wheat yield.
Mr.. Smith has a five acre field
which was summer fallowed, which
yielded 200 bushels or 40 bushels
per acre.
Mr.. Smith says that the wheat was
damp, when threshed apd did not
work out as well as it should, and
is of the opinion that had the straw
been dry it would have gone from
five to ten bushels stronger for the
field.
He had a lot of good wheat and
says there were many heads with
four grains to the mash and few
which had six and eight. This is a
most unusual thing but Mr.. Smith
has preserved these heads and will
bring them to this office for display
purposes.
The Hayne neighborhood is a
great place for high yields for the
reason that there some real genuine
farmers living in that vicinity, and
Mr.. Smith is one of them.

Districts
EVERYTHING is
IN READINESS
Superintendent A. b. Steele and
Corps of Instructors on Hand
b Ready to Start the Work for The
Coming Year.

School will start Monday morning
September 9th at nine o'clock. All
pupils in the first six grades who
live south of the division line will go
to the Lincoln building. The division
line runs west on Second street to
Grant avenue, then north on Grant
to Third street, then west on Third
street to Grand avenue, then north
on Grand to Fifth street and then
west on Fifth to the city limits. Pu-
pills knowing definitely the grade to
which they belong should bring the
regular books for that grade with
them; also paper and pencil. Pu-
pills who are new to the schools here
should bring cards or other records
so they can be placed in the right
grade. 1t is unwise for these pupils
to purchase books before they are
assigned to grade here. AS has
been the custom here for some time,
primary pupils who have not attend
ed school before this year will not be
admitted after the third week.
Junior high school pupils will re-
port at the high school building. The
rooms for the respective junior
high school grades will be marked on
the floor.
Senior high school students will
enroll Monday morning. AS soon as
each student has enrolled he is at
liberty until two o'clock in the after
noon. At that time a special assem-
bly, will be held for the adjustment
of conflicts in the daily program.
Regular class work will begin Tues
day morning. It is important that
students of the senior high school
study the course of study so they
may take the subjects that will do
them the most good. In order that
those wishing advice in the matter
of high school work may receive it
before Monday morning, the Super
intendent's office will be open Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday from three
until four o'clock.

BREAK NOT

Resumed
McQUIGG SAYS
OUTLOOK GOOD
Casing Parted at Sixth Joint and
Balance is in The Hole. Frank
McQuigg Says Break Not Liable
to Seriously Retard Work.

Asked as to just how serious the
break in the casing at the Traders
No. l was, Frank McQuigg replied
that if the fishing was properly
handled it would likely amount to
nothing but few days shut down.
eff we were inclined to hurry the
work and make a mis-step it might
prove a serious matter" said Mr.. Nc
Quigg last night. "But we are not
going to rush anything" continued
Mr.. McQuigg. eve have spent too
much time and money making that
hole to take any chance of losing it
now, and we are going to feel our
way every minute until the string of
casing is again completed"
According to Mr.. McQuigg the
work of setting the casing had been
completed with the exception of TAX
ing up the slack. The string was
raised just few inches when it part
ed at the sixth joint. AS the casing
did not sustain a fall there was no
collapse of the casing. The running
of the sand bucket to the bottom of
the hole disclosed this fact.
Had the casing been up in the
hole considerable distance and fall
en- to the bottom there might have
been several kinks in the pipe which
would have caused trouble. but for
tunately this is not true.
The break was caused by de-
fective nipple, the fault lying with
the factory connection, the threads
being stripped from the casing.
Mr.. McQuigg expressed the opin-
ion that it would be but few days
until the casing would again be set
and the drill going down.
He is just as enthusiastic as ever
over the outlook and still feels con-
fident that the Liberal field will be
real one, and was re-echoed the
sentiment of Henry L. Daugherty the
Wall Street oil magnate, that the
find in the Traders well was the
most important since the bringing in
of the Butler county field.
Mr.. McQuigg made a trip to
Beaver county yesterday and is busy
today getting the remainder of the
big rotary outfit unloaded.
H. H. McQiugg has returned from
the Butler County field where he
went after fishing tool. Work is
progressing nicely and it is expected
the drill will be running within the
next few days.

REMOVING JUNK FROM
SOUTHWESTERN LOTS

Workmen are removing the derbis
from the Southwestern lots this week,
preparatory to putting up another
building on the same site, where the
former store building stood.
Much of the sheet iron will be sold
as it has been Strengthened out and
can be used for covering. Iron cast
ings for machinery is being sorted
out from the mass of burned mater
iair and much of it is not injured
other than destroying the looks of it.
While much of the remains of the
building and contents is beyond use
in any way, the junk dealer will take
considerable as old iron, and the rest
that is beyond value will be taken to
a dumping grounds away from the
city.

A large crowd witnessed an auto
accident yesterday afternoon, when
woman was knocked down by an
approaching car on West Second

up and ran frantically to another car
along the street where she found her
relatives. The young woman was
not seriously hurt but suffered Sc
we're shock to the nerves. The driver
of the car was not to blame for
the accident.

SOME MORE REASONS
FOR THE AUDITORIUM
Why it Will Benefit People of the
Country and Well as
The City

A Liberal business man who has
always been a booster for the Au-
ditorium dropped into this office yes
terday afternoon, following the meet,
ing at the court house, to talk au-
ditorium.
This man has given the matter
considerable study from different
angles and is prepared to give ex-
cellent reasons for his stand.
Looking at the matter from the
angle of the resident of the county
who is not particularly interested in
the city, he sees many reasons for
favoring the building of the hall.
In his opinion it can be made a
thing Of real value to the farmer,
from a financial standpoint.
He says that since the idea of a
county fair has become almost a
thing of the past that produce dis
plays on the order of the wheat show
at Wichita could be held, at which
time the products of the farm could
be assembled and displayed. keeping
alive the fair idea without many of
the disagreeable features, weather
conditions, etc.
He also advocates using the build
ing for big poultry show, which
would boost the poultry industry, as
well as a tractor show and stock
show.
These things would be of much
benefit to the farmer and would
tend to increase interest in farming.

PETITIONS
GOING OUT
Meeting Held at Court House Yester-
day Developed no Opposition to
The Proposition and Petitions Will
Be Circulated. ... ..... ...... ......

Liberal and Seward County will
have a Memorial Hall and Auditor
ium.
A meeting by the citizens of the
city and county was held at the court
house, Wednesday afternoon, to dis
cuss the possibility and ways and
means to obtain it.
The meeting was opened by Frank
G. Boles, President of the Liberal
Chamber of Commerce, and after the
preliminary remarks, everyone took
lively interest in speaking for the
proposed building.
The site for the building has been
chosen and if it meets with the ap-
proval of the committees in charge
and all interested, it will be on the
lots north of the county jail
The structure will be of brick and
fireproof throughout.
Petitions will be circulated Friday
in both town and county to vote
$150.00O bonds for the building.
The proposed building will be for
the Legion with enough space left
for an Auditorium which is badly
needed.
The campaign for the building will
be presented to the county commits
sioners at the next regular meeting.
If the petitions are signed by 25
pei cent of the vote cast at the last
g4Seral election, the matter will be
brought before the people at the
election this November for final con-
sideration.
The American Legion endorses the
campaign and is backing it with its
man power in every way possible to
attain its accomplishment.
A committee will 90 before the
State Architect soon to draw up its
plans and specifications and it is ex-
pected that blue print will be before
the people prior to the election, so
that all may see for themselves
something of what the new structure
will be like and in that way realize
what it means to Liberal and Seward
county.
