WARFEL VISITS LIBERAL

E. c. Warfel of Electra, Texas, is
in the city today on business. War
fel was one Of the first to predict
an oil field about Liberal and has
told the writer many times that the
we'll on the Boles farm would he a
producer. When we asked for an in
terview today he declined to talk,
but we learned that he had not
changed his opinion of the producti-
witty of the field. There is possibly
but one man who has as great a
knowledge of the Liberal field, and
both agree to the same condition.
Mr.. Harfel is working as a geo.
logist in the Texas fields. He looks
like the world had been good to him,
and not unpleased to see the Develop
ment going on here.

SHOWING PICTURES
OF FINE CATTLE
Pile Bros. Ranch Makes Another Ex-
hibit in Griffith & Baugh-
man Window

The Pile ranch near Liberal had
"a fine exhibit for the Boosters last
Tuesday, but they failed to arrive,
and the pleasing effect was not in
evidence today, so they made a
change.
The second display is in the same
window at the Griffith & Baughman
office, but this time it is confined to
the pictures of the fine cattle raised
on the ranch.
The Liberal Decorating company
went to the ranch the first Of the
week and made an oil painting of the
ranch house, with a large picture of
the herd bull in the foreground.
The picture is accurate in detail
and beauty, and demonstrates the
artistic ability of the artists of the
Liberal Decorating company.
The bull shown in Surrogate D.,
register No. 7572470. He was calv-
ed February 7, 1918, was bred by H..
c. Hitch of Guymon, Okla, and pur-
chased in December 1916 by Pile
Brothers. The painting is in oil and
3x5 feet in size.
On either side of the big jainting
are enlarged photos. One is three
pure bred cows, Miss Maud Registry
No. 6302O3. calved June ID, 1917;
Rosamond, Registry No. 633587,
calved July 1, 1917; and Joyce, Reg
istry No. 630199, calved April IL.
1917. These cows were sired by
Blake, Registry No. 982536.
The other enlargement is a picture
of three calves. They are Martha

MOORE & FRANKLIN
HAS BIG DISPLAY

Moore & Franklin real estate Of
flee has about as large a display Of
agricultural specimens as any place

Among the goods are kafir corn

ons; R. D. Smith, corn; c. E. How

The display of what the southwest
country produces proves the great
fertility of the soil and what good
farming will accomplish when they
farm right. That the Southwest
farmers know their business is prov
ed beyond argument.

PRATT HERE
OCTOBER 9TH
Will Play L. I'll. S. Foot
Ball Team Here on
That Date l..
LIBERAL is
DETERMINED
To Avenge Defeat of Last Year
When Weakened Team Was Beat
en- by Small Margin. Ashland
Here October 22; go to Greensburg
October 20.

The coveted game between the l..
H. s. foot ball team and the Pratt
county high school team has been
definitely arranged and Pratt will
come to Liberal for game on 0otc-
Der s.
Pratt, defeated Liberal early in
the season last year when her team
was weak, but no games could-be ar
ranged when our team was at its
best, so the game this year will be
one Of the really big games of the
season, and will come early on the
schedule.
Ashland will be here October %
for a game. Liberal and Ashland
did not meet last season, but that
school is said to have first class
aggregation of foot ball players,
Liberal will go to Greensburg for
q game on October 20. Liberal de-
feated Greensburg last year on the
Liberal grounds, but is going to have
no easy time in taking the game this
season. It is up to a good crowd of
fans to go along and help put the
team across, for there is no doubt but
what good boosting gives the boys
courage.
Coach B. W. Wood gives out this
schedule, and says the boys are going
to work hard to be in condition to
take on these strong teams.
Other games are being arranged
but no dates have been definitely
agreed upon.

THE ROAD AMENDMENT

The road movement is not par
tisan political issue. Good roads
are equally beneficial to Republicans,
Democrats, Socialists or any other
class of people. A good road does
not choose its users from any parti-
cular faction, race or creed but
stands ready to serve all corners. II
is about the only thing upon which
the two main political parties have
fully agreed in their platforms. The
Chicago convention and the San
Francisco convention set forth planks
almost identical, both favoring addi-
tional Federal Aid in road building.
The first Federal Aid road law was
passed by a Democratic Congress,
second bill which increased the
amount appropriated was passed by
a Republican Congress and signed
by a Democratic President. The
State of Illinois had her first state aid
road law under a democratic admin
istration and the state bond issue for
the building of a state system of
5000 miles of road was passed by a
Republican legislature and endorsed
and advocated by both parties. The
vote on the Good Roads Amendment
in the Kansas Legislature in 1919 was
in no respect partisan. The ballot
on which is printed the Good Roads
Amendment will not bear the en-
blem of political party so everyone
regardless of party affiliations should
voice his sentiments as favoring the
movement that will place Kansas on
par with the other states in the
Union in road building. The final
vote on the Good Roads Amendment
in the 1919 session of the legislature
showed in the Senate % votes for
and 7 votes against. In the House
104 votes for and 0 votes against.
In the Senate 20 republicans and
8 democrats voted for the amend
ment; republicans and 2 democrats
voted against the amendment, which
certainly indicates that the political
question did not figure in the sub
mission of this amendment to the
voters by the legislature.

N. A. SMITH ISSUES
A COUNTY CHALLENGE
Wants to See the Man Who Can Raise
More Ears of Corn From One
Seed Than He Can

=, When N. A. Smith of near Hayne
arrived in town yesterday with his
exhibit for the benefit of the boost
ers, his car looked like an exhibit a.
county fair.
He brought a car load of stuff
which would be a credit to any
county under the sun.
However Mr. Smith is more proud
of his record as a raiser of corn than
anything else, and in this connection
he has issued challenge to the
county to show more ears of corn
raised from one grain of seed than
he can.
In this office is the sample upon
which he has issued the challenge.
Three stalks sprang from a single
seed and on one stalk there are two
big ears, and one small ear, while on
the other two there are two large
ears each.
Mr.. Smith has made a careful esti-
mate and says that the corn will
yield SO bushels to the acre.
He planted one ear of Iowa Sill
vermine corn and it produced 700
ears, and lost a small patch which
was too wet to cultivate.
Another single ear planted pro.
duced 72O ears of corn. This was Of
known as Smiths Pride" and is g
strain developed by brother Of
Mr.. Smith. 1t is by all odds the fin.
est corn we have seen produced il
Kansas and one Of the boosters &C
cused US of having imported it unit
shown the stalks with ears just lik,
it intact.
Anyone caring to compete will
Mr.. Smith on the corn deal are in
vited to call at this office and brinf
their proofs.
