George Broadhurst's splendid produc-

play, "The Storm" comes TO The Play
house Monday for three nights and a
Wednesday matinee. "The Storm is
Langdon McCormick's most successful
play. He OF only tells great story in it's
dramatic action, but supports it by scenic
effects of remarkable realism. The blix-
zard and the forest fire scenes, which re-
quire % stage artisans to present in oil
their wonderful detail, are not merely
scenic effects dragged in TO dazzle an
audience; they have most effective
place in the telling of the story and are so
naturally introduced into a dramatic
tale in which the note of the natural so
predomlnates that the audience loses all
sense of the confines Of the theatre and
looks out upon seeming actual wars of
the elements in the great arena of nature
itself. The leading characters are played
by Miss Katherine Hayden and Messrs.
Ben Taggart, Eric Maxon, Charles Hen

Grading Going On As Fast As Men Can
Be Employed To Do the Work
Streets Look Good
WILL GRADE ON THE SOUTH SIDE NOW
Favorable Weather Conditions Per-
init of Great improvements in
Streets. But Scarcity of Help
Hinders Improvement Program.

The city council is making a su-
preme effort to have we'll cared for
streets and this is beginning to show
in results.
In all parts of the city the streets
are being graded and put in excellent
condition and it is certainly big inn
provement.
Streets which have never been
graded before are being worked and
Eif help could be kept it would be but
short time until all the streets of
the city would be in first class shape.
Now that weather conditions are
favorable to street work there is
shortage of help and Mayor Griffith
informs The Democrat that it is
herculeanian task to keep men on
the grader.
Work north of the track is we'll
under way and assoon as this is fin
ished the streets of South Liberal
will be attended to.
This will be pleasing news to the
residents of the South Side, as there
has, long been a need for street work
in that part of town.
A lot of additional sidewalk lis
being laid over the city, new cross
ings put in and the appearance of
the town very much enhanced.
The present administration is
doing lot in the way of improving
the city and they have the people
with them in their efforts to make
Liberal the best tawp in the state.

The Six Inch Casing Has Been Run
and Drilling Started At the
Traders BOIeS No. 1
RUSHING WORK ON RIG FOR NO. 2
Interest Increasing With Starting of
The Drill Opinions Differ as to
Bringing in of oiler, But Company
Officials Are Silent.

The past couple of weeks has seer
much activity but no, drilling at the
Traders Boles No. l west of Liberal.
However the six-inch casing has
again been run into the hole and the
drill started.
This is causing a renewal of inter-
est in oil circles. When the drill
stops interest wanes, but as soon as
the drillers go to making hole every
one gets on tip-toe.
Company officials are giving out
nothing, but there is much specula-
tion as to when the we'll will be
brought in. That this will be done
but few have any doubts, but the
time is uncertain.
Some are of the opinion that the
starting of the drill means that the
we'll will be finished as soon as pos
sible, others think that production
will not be sought until tankage ar
rives to take care of the product
The Democrat has no information
more than anyone else, but we are
still of the opinion that the we'll will
be brought in as an oiler just as
soon as it can be done. In our judg-
ment there would be no excuse in de-
laying the bringing in of we'll, and
that the CompanySs is anxious to
know not only what is in the hole but
how much, and this can only be ascer-
tanned by bringing in the we'll;
~ representative of the Democrat
Visited the well this morning, also the
site of the Traders Bunting No. 1.
The derrick for the Bunting we'll
is completed and the engine house
is ready for the machinery. Much
of the equipment is in place, and
workmen are rapidly putting the fin
ishing touches on the rig.
Just how soon the we'll can be
started is not known, but depends
great deal upon weather conditions.
Gas and water will be piped from
the Boles well, and this will take
some time. Then there are hun
dred and one little details to be
ironed out after everything is SEEM
ingly in readiness, and it may be
month or more before the we'll is
actually started.

HON. R. BEECHING
TO SPEND DAY IN COUNTY
Democrats Candidate For Congress

The Folks Here.

Chairman P. F. Hanlin of the
Democratic County Central Com
mittee, is in receipt of letter from
the Congressional committee advis-
ing that Hon. j. R. Beeching, Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress-, will
spend the day in Seward county on
October 6.
Arrangements are under way to
provide the people of the county an
opportunity of hearing Mr.. Beeching
and learning where he stands on the
issues of the campaign.
Since there seems to be a dispo-
sition this year to vote for men and
issues rather than party is well that
Mr.. Beechhng comes to give first
hand facts regarding his candidacy.
A meeting will be arranged for
at both Liberal and Kismet, and the
date and hour announced as early
as possible.
Mr.. Beeching has an admirable
platform and one which should ap-
peal to the voters of the district. and
one and all owe it to themselves
to hear his talks when he comes to
the county.
If he comes more than two hun
dred miles the people of the county
can certainly go ten or fifteen.
