OUR COUNTY NEWS CATERERS

This would have been a slim issue
had it not been for the work of our
efficient corps of country news gath
erers. Owing to the ban on all meet
ing and the fact that families are
staying close to home there is very
little transporting in the news way,
and the large number of correspond
ents who have sent in items this week
has helped over a mighty slow time.
The Democrat is proud of its coun-
try reporters. They have been do
ing nobly, and have helped more than
anything to make the paper take
its place with the best anywhere.
And we have a new one this week
from the Enterprise district in Okla
homa. We are glad to welcome En-
terprise as well as our regular cor
respondents and hope the good work
will continue.
1t is hard to convey to correspond
ents just how much we appreciate
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1920-04-01

their efforts, but we want them 70
feel that we do. What little success
we have been able to make in the
newspaper business has been due to
the fact that we have been FORUM
ate in having loyal friends in the
country districts to help US give the
news of the entire community, and
we would be unappreciative indeed if
we did not thank them for it.
We hope the time will come when
we shall have sufficiently established
the paper on basis that will permit
us to pay our correspondents and we
intend to do so as soon as possible,
but until that time we shall have to
rely upon the friendship of our re-
porters. However, any time it is
possible for US to return the favor
we want one and all to feel free to
call on us.

C"AJ tONH'J -
Editor st. Croir AUjS,
Dear Sir
In your valued paper | read
today an open denunciati0n Of someone
who, like the majority of US, is asked
to pay more for goods than they are
worth. or, as cited, more than the prices
fixed by the Food Commission. Cooks"
claim that a certain grocery owned by
a member of the Food Commission is sell
ing the 16 cent sugar at 20 cents a
pound. That is nothing new; almost
al shops are doing the same thing.
Take r, D. Benjamjn'S grocery IN
ChriStlGnSted for example; here up to
yesterday morning after you1 paper
for the day WGS IN the hands of read
er8, al sWgar. for which the price hos
been .tTed at Is cents, Was sold at 81
cents a pound. If | am not mistaken
the proprietor Of that grocery is also
d member OF the Food Commission.
1t ap. ears to be a waste Of time and
words to publish ,hese Irregular things
and that is why maDy people would
prefer that the existence of the Food
Commission be annulled and then what
is now an unpublished violation of an
ordinance that ought to be respected,
would simply be ordinary profiteering,
which we are used to,
Yours

Constantinople, July 6th-Gfeek troops
have swept the country west If Bal
oukesar clear of Turks, as far north as
Adramyte. They also have landed large
forces in Chardak. on the Dardanelles.
The Turks retreated in such disorder that
the Greeks easily inflicted great losses
upon them and took many prisoners with
few casualties among themselves. 1t was
found unnecessary for the Greek forces
to shell any towns, as all hOiSted the
white flag when they approached.
London, July 9th. Turkish National
ist troops on Monday occupied Beicos on
the Asiatic shore of the B~osphorus, about
ten miles from Constantinople and op
poslte the Allied Headquarters on the
European side. Fighting with British
and Greek troops in the town followed.
The British fleet, says the report Dom
barded the Turkish positions. The Ma
tionalists continue to hold Beicos, the
Allied troops having withdrawn. Bonn
bardment of the Greek Mosque at Brussa
and the destruction of the town by air
plane attacks re threatened in an uIti-
matum received by the Governor of
Brussa from Vice Admiral De RObeck.
Nationalist forces in violation of the
peace terms have attacked territory oc-
cupied by the British on the Sea of
MarmOra.

your esteemed paper. | am unable 10
see the meaning or purpose Of the pseu-
donym he persists in Writingsunder. He
seems for the most part to be a despotic
sort OF a person anyway and, therefore.
hardly a friend in the sense | under
stand that word at all events ne is not
d friend OF progress. his IDEAS beiog con
spicuously Of the antediIuvian age when
people did little else than drink milk aud
build high overs from which 10 jump
o into heaven when it rained hard.
Nowadays, we have neither milk nor
rain and a different policy is impera i've.
With reference 10 his charge that | at
tackled his letter, please let Friend be
informed that has letter in the Avis of
June Both. rather constituted an attack
upon me Wnen he alluded to "a little ar
gument, over marriage as being a sacra-
men" and essayed divers comments on
phases Of the question. BE hat as it
may, he can rest assured that no attack
IS, or can be, directed against a man Oil
straw which he virtually is in his posi-
ton OF singing ink On a cOngiomeratiOn
OF natter neither a discussion OF whether
OF not marriage is a sacrament, w ether
or not the desk is superior to the pulpit,
or anything at all definite. Friend"
will please be advised that his advocat-
ing the use OF the desk in preference to
the pulpit is in conflict with his other an
tiquated notion of things judging which
| would expect to have him clam0r for
the pulpit, or the mountain even. His
argument in this connection, like
his other contentious, can not mold wa
ter. BY what he says he lnfers that the
members Of a congregation hear with
their lacks, since the use Of the desk
affords much more comfort to the
"neckS" Of his hearers than the pulpit.
Surprising they did near through their
necks. then, at any rate, only those on
the first floor would be benefited by the
use of the desk while those in the gal
lery must crane their necks downward
TO hear, for it is q logical assumption
that if it is necessary to have the neck
Dent upwards when the speaker is above.
then it must be bent down Yards when
he is below. If Friend" will be a bit
reasonable he would save himself and
others. the trouble of dealing with pro-
hIems which, when examined, are not
problems after all. In reply to the re
quest with which ''Friend's' letter in
today's paper concludes | would simply
say that the word protestant" when
applied to religion, is understood to de-
signate an adherent to the principles
which formed the protest made by the
Lutheran party against the Diet If
Spires in 1925. This is merely a state
