GUARANTY TRUST CO.'S
VALUABLE BOOK

To lesson the great Inconvenience
which unexpected bank aud pubic
holidays throughout foreign countries
and in so1ne parts Of the United States
bring IL American business men, the
Guaranty Trust company Of. New
York has Just issued a new edition
for 1920 OF it's book, Bank and Pub
lie Holidays Throughout the World.
Vanishing monarchios and incohate
republics have added to the difficult
ties OF compiling this latest edition.
!. btss-ia gpneral- the L1ok covers all
the holidays in all parts OF the world
from New Years day. which is al
most universal, to Tuesday, February
8. which is holiday in Paraguay.
and Tuesday, August 3, observed only
IN Newfoundland.
Particularly hopeful to business
men and bankers who must make
payments and collections in foreign
countries, or in distant parts of the
United States, the two previous edi-
tons of this book have won ii q wide
utility For instant reference. it fs
divided into two parts. the first a
daily calendar for 1920, indicating
under each day in just which cuun-
tries holiday is being observed. For
example, under Wednesday. June %,
are listed the Bahamas, the Leeward
Islands, Mauritius, Sweden (where IT
is only a halfholiday) and Western
Australia.
The second part lists all the coun-
tries and political sub divisions by
name, giving under each the dates
and names of all holidays celebrated
there during the year. June % in
Mauritius, for example. Is the Prince
OF Wales birthday: whereas In
Sweden it Is Midsummer Eve. Each
way of listing the holidays has its
particular value. Thus an export
house dealing with all countries would
! find the general calendar of greatest
help. A house dealing only with the
Argentine would find the second par,
more convenient.

LAW ENFORCEMENT
IN TENNESSEE

Nashville. Tenn, Feb. 5.--When
/ Judge Roberts announced himself as
candidate for the Office of COVER
nor in Tennessee he also announced
his platform as one OF uncompromis-
ing law enforcement for all classes
Law enforcement he declared. was
the the paramount issue in America
today
Since his election he has taken his
platform promises with refreshing
and unwonted seriousness. He has
confronted and controlled iawlessness,
whether of would4be mob leaders or
of anarchists posing as labor leaders
He has stood as firmly and as sue
cessfuliy for the law as has the COVER
nor of Massachusetts.
But perhaps his chief service has
been in bringing home to the mass OF
folk in his state the vital issues at
stake. He gave the program of the
Law and Order league all the force
and prestige his office could supply.

MUSICIANS STUCK IN MUD
FAILED TO COME

The opera stars who were billed
for concert at the Majestic last
night did not arrive in Liberal in
time to appear before the great
crowd which assembled to hear them.
They attempted to come across
from Perryton, Texas, in cars and the
cards refused to negotiate the mud
holes between that place and Lib
eral, and the company arrived after
the audience had left.
H. F. Malone of the Wiley Drug
Company, local Edison dealer, under
whose auspices the concert was to
have been given, was very much dis
appointed, but is endeavoring to get
a return engagement early next
week.
If suitable building can be Sc
cured the company will return, and
it possible that they will come on the
train the next time.

The authorities were notified and
Sheriff F. N. Henderson, immediate
ly left for the scene of the shooting,
but before he reached there the two
colored men had fled the county. He

DR., KNISLEY WILL
REMAIN IN LIBERAL
Prominent Liberal Physician Will
Continue to Be a Resident
of The City

DR.. A. L. Knisley will not leave
Liberal. He has located his family
at Boulder, where the girls will en-
ter school. but the Doctor will re-
main here and continue his practice.
A few days ago the Democrat car
ried a story to the effect that the
Doctor would leave Liberal to be
with his family, and while he consid-
cred this, he says he never has de-
finitely decided to change his resi-
dence, and that the paper was tri-
file premature in bidding him good
by.
We are sorry we had him leaving
town, but are, glad to know we were
wrong in our story. He came to
Liberal when the town was young
and settled upon homestead in Sc
ard county. All the trying years
found him strong in the faith that
this section would some day be fit
habitation for man, and he did his bit
to make this come true.
We were surprised at the time to
think he would consider leaving, and
only when he sold his property did
we think he could do it.
Mrs. Knisley and the girls will
make their home in Boulder until the
latter have finished their school work
and it is likely that they will return
to Liberal when their terms are COM
pleted.
If the Democrat has caused the
Doctor an injury by printing the
story we are very sorry, for he is
too good a man and a physician for
US to have any desire that he leave
the city. He has built up an envia-
BILE practice here and upon his re.
turn from the service found the town
ready to welcome him back, most
heartily.

NORTH WELL
WILL START
Repairs Expected Daily
and Steady Drilling
Promised
FINANCES ARE GOOD
Delay Caused by Repairs to Rig Soon
To End. Getting Ready to Keep
Work Going Steadily Until Test
is Completed.

"We expect to again start work
at the well in a few days" said
Ezra Shorb, president of the Seward
County Oil & Gas Co., to the Demo
crat this morning.
~"It has been a hard matter to get
the stuff we needed" continued Mr..
Shorb. "but it is now on the way and
just as soon as it arrives we have
everything in readiness to start the
work.
Mr.. Shorb says lot Of people are
wondering why the drill is not start
ed, but that they have no cause for
worry. The finances of the company
are in fine shape and if the repairs
come through as expected it will be
but matter of few days until drill
ing can be started.
Few people realize the trouble the
companies are having in getting drill
ing equipment. The great amount Of
development work going on in the
country is taxing the supply houses
to the breaking point and they are
absolutely unable to meet the de-
mand.
Mr. Shorb is still strong in the
faith that the Seward County Oil &
Gas company will get producer,
and he is just as anxious as can be
to get started.

HE PREDICTS
AN OIL FIELD
B. r. Farmer, PrOmin-
ent Oil Man of Tulsa,
Is Optimistic
LOOKS FOR
A PRODUCER
Traders Well Expected to "Come in"
by Man High in Oil World. Kind
of Gas Almost Guarantees Future
of The Liberal Field.

B. R. Farmer of Tulsa, Okla, an
official of one of the large Oklahoma
oil companies, has been in Liberal
the past several days looking over
the situation.
A Democrat reporter had a visit
with Mr.. Farmer this morning and
found him in good spirits.
In reply to the usual question as
to what he thought of the prospect
he pointed toward the rig at the
Traders well and said. Gin my opin-
ion they will have an oil we'll here if
they keep going down." This well
will have plenty of company. The
showing is sufficient to guarantee
plenty of development and believe
that it is only matter Of time until
this country will be covered with
derricks."
Mr. Farmer says he found indica-
tions here much better than he ex-
pected after reading the reports COM
ing from the field He says the kind
of gas found here practically guar
antees the presence of oil and called
attention to the fact that smoke was
issuing from the smokestacks, an
unmistakeable evidence of oil bear
ing gas.
Asked as to his idea of the extent
of the field Mr.. Farmer said that the
government reports show strata
running from Oklahoma to Wyoming
and that in his opinion the Liberal
field is in this strata He says the
territory north and east from the
Traders well looks good to him, and
ventured the opinion that the terri
tory along the river would be very
productive of oil.
Mr.. Farmer has holdings here and
plans are under way for starting de-
velopment, but said that they were
not yet sufficiently worked out to
make public.
He will return to Tulsa within a
few days and then will return to keep
in touch with the situation and COM
plete arrangements.

Superintendent Steele Says Things

That Liberal is to have very sue

by the smoothness with which the big
educational machine moved off Mon
day and Tuesday.
Superintendent Steele has been on
the job for several weeks working
his head off that there might be no
bitches and he worked well. The
teachers are on the job, everyone
taking hold in commendable man.

The enrolment is very satisfac-
tory. Mr.. Steele reported Wednes-
day that there were 900 pupils en-
rolled in the high school and grades,
the enrolment being as follows:
High eschool, 220.
Junior High, $50.
Lincoln, 800.
Garfield, 230.

congestion in the lower grades, and
part of the primary pupils can go
but half day. However the board
is on the job and additional room will
be provided at an early date. Parents
of primary pupils are asked to be
patient until this is done.
The 1-B at the Garfield is the worst
crowded, showing a big increase in
attendance.
Coach Wood is getting the foot
ball team lineup as we'll as handling
his classes, and he, toi. put in con-
siderable time preparatory to the
opening of school.
This is Mr.. Steel's first term here
but the way he is starting out indi-
Gates the lines he is to follow and
with the proper cooperation will
keep the schools up to the highest
point of efficiency.
