good roads from one town and
twenty miles over bad roads from an
other, they will do most of their trad
ing in the most distant town Today
people measure distance by time
rather than mileage.
The crops on farms that are we'll
served by good roads will usually sell
for more net profit during the year
than the crops from the same amount
OF land of the same kind in the same
part of the trade territory that is
badly served by poor roads. The cost
of Transportation is less over good
roads and the certainty of reaching
the market when it is ready for the
crop is more definitely assured.
Advertising is to merchants what
good roads are to the merchants in
the city and to the people on the
farms.
As domestic market a city's
trade territory is limited inly by the
possibilities of truck and car trans
portation. Facility and economy in
this field depends on the character
of the roads; the better the roads
the bigger the city.
If Liberal does not have a market
ing diaceter of one hundred square
miles she will not be approximating
ITS commercial possibilities; it hasn't
deveoped its "hOme market" to its
marimum business productiveness. In
most cases cities permit their busi-
mes opportunities to stall in a mud
hole.
Twenty years ago the market limit
OF the average city was ten miles. It
was no farther removed from the
heart of the town than it was possi-
bic for team to pull loaded wagon
over a dirt road and make the round
trip between the morning and eve
ming chores. Today, how different
Here is vast empire, the logical
territory for Liberal. And Liberal
is not only interested in the bringing
of this trade and products to her,
but interested in the growth an de-
veopment of this trade territory.
The town is losing trade because
of the lack of good roads toward the
west. That trade which rightfully
belongs to the county seat of Sc
ward IS going elsewhere--not be-
cause of market conditions; not be-
cause people like to go to other towns
with less pep and modern improve
ments-but on account of bad roads.
AS the writer see it this road ques-
ton is the only one that mars the
picture and possibilities of Liberals
prefer becOiing a metropolis of these
prairies. The new railroad, is going
to open up and furnish the facilities
to make Liberal more worthy of
being a distribution point, and that
helps some-but this hundred mile
trade territory-that is going to go
some where-a retail trade, and the
crOps-where is it going?

FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Being the ninth of fifteen articles written for the
Democrat by N o. Shanks Publicity Expert,
on the Resources of Liberal and Seward COUNTY

There are two interesting views to
get the right slant at city; one to
look from the outside looking is; the
other, from the inside looking out.
The writer wishes to get both views,
considering Liberal as the chief
marketing center of the southwest
territory.
From the inside looking out the
possibilities are alluring. Get down a
map and take a look. You will see
that Liberal commands territory
covering counties in four states
Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma and
TeXas-a territory covering a radius
of 100, and some instances more.
miles. On the south Amarillo is the
only place of any pretensions; on the
north Garden City; on the northeast,
Dodge City-the only real contend
ers for first place as a commercial,
distribution center. A vast domain
filled with prosperous farmers; mil
lions Of dollars worth of marketable
produce; millions to be spent for
living expenses, pleasure, machinery,
luXuries, building. Who will get that
trade?
And the coming of the new railroad
is still making this more attractive.
1t brings the Baca county people and
more than $4,000 people are in that
territory-to Liberal, if'the right per-
suasion is used; and Fright persua-
sion" means much in the bid for en-
larpement of trade territory.
Can you not see that Liberal has
the trade territory to make her a
city of $4,000 population? From the
inside looking out cannot one see
the latent possibilities of the enlarge.
ment of the trade territory, and the
circling of he terriory means bigger
and better Liberal?
The other viewpoint; from the out
side looking in.
We see Liberal the center of all
this trade territory and its business
men full of pep and unqualified bust
ness judgemen who are not going tc
let opportunity pass in the bringing
in under the commercial fold this
vast rich trade. We see property
values while increased the past few
months still an attractive proposition,
but the vision of Liberal being a city
of $4,000 population-that will bring
values up. One sees Liberal forging
ahead-already seven leagues ahead
of her competitors in public utilities /;
in Accommodations of many kinds-in
streets, lights, churches, schools
but her roads-are not the kind that
bid for favors from the rural ele-
ment. 'Tis the only dark splotch in
the vision.
Every progressive merchant in the
town believes in the value of good
roads leading into the town; he knows
that farmers and travellers just nat
urally gravitate toward the town that
are the most easily reached. If
farmer lives twenty-five miles over

LIBERAL BALL MEN
REMAIN AT THE TOP.
Win Most Games of the Week-Play
Sunday with Texhoma on the
Liberal Field.

The Liberal boys have been hold
ing more than their own in the games
of the past few days. They have
cleaned up on nearly every score with
same great plays that keep the Lib
eral team on the roll of honor.
George Knader of Wyanoka, Okla,
arrived this week to take the job of
pitching and he comes with a mighty
high reputation as ball player. He
will be remembered by fans who
were here four years ago, as he play
ed for Liberal at that time.
1t is expected that Knadler will
pitch Sunday when Texhoma comes
up and it is being looked Onward to
as one of the games of the season.
Knadler is a whirlwind and he will
be supported by the best Liberal
has.
The scores for the past weeks
games follows;
The game last Thursday with Guy
mon which was staged in Liberal re-
suited in a score of 5 to in favor
of Libe'rA
Fridays game at Elkhart was an
other success or Liberal with score
6 to 0.
Sunday Hooker visied here and
played a long scored game of Is to
in favor of Liberal again.
Rolla came over Tuesday and Lib
eral met her defeat against them in
the score of to IL.
Wednesday Perryton boys crossed
bats here and again Liberal met her

of the intestinal equipment enjoyed

admire the nerve as well as commend
the judgment of said party or parties.

Liberal has lagge in this matter

we should do it at once.
