FOUND USE FOR GAS MASK
IN SMOKE FILLED BASEMENT
Harold Sutton Donned Relic of The
Trenches to Extinguish Fire
in Furnace,

When Harold Sutton returned from
France where he served with the A.
E. F., he brought his gas mask homo
with him as souvenir. When the
wind storm struck Liberal Wednes-
day he found a good chance to use
it.
The furnace in the basement of the
Liberal Auto Supply Company, wher
Harold is employed, decided to do a
good job Of smoking as a result of the
high wind, and eventually the office
force was compelled to beat it. The
only way to stop the smoke was to
put out the fire, so Harold donned
his mask and proceeded to the base
ment whore he accomplished this.
But for the mask no one could have
ventured into the place and it came
in mighty handy,

BASEBALL TEAM is PLANNED
FOR LIBERAL NEXT SEASON

When George Brannon was made
manager of the Liberal Baseball Club
one of the best and most competent
men in the "hit and run" circles of
the entire country was chosen.
Mr.. Brannon advises us that every
effort will be made by the fans of
Liberal to import the very best of
semi-pro players in the district. All
that he asks to produce for Liberal
a team that will put the city on the
map, is just the strong support Of the
people. For city the size of this,
there is no better advertisement than
a winning baseball team.
Just to the east of the roundhouse
the aggregation is planning an up
to-date park, we'll fenced, and with a
grandstand capable of seating large
number of fans.
Let's all get behind the team and
make a real success of the season.
Remember that good advertisement
will help our city.

LEGION MINSTRELS MADE
THE HIT OF THE SEASON
Liberal Folks Surprised That Such
Talent Could be Found Here.
Had Big Crowds

Last Thursday and Friday nights
every available seat in the Majestic
was occupied for the performances
given by the members of the Liberal
American Legion Post assisted by
a number of the city's fairest ladies'.
To mention the stars would mean
that the entire cast would be included
as each member filled their respect
i've places like professionals and they
made Liberal folks sit up and take
notice.
Outside of possibly one road show
seen here this season the perform
ance was equal if not superior to any
that have come to the city, and this
with all respect to the best of them.
The fame of the Minstrels has al
ready spread beyond the town and
they have been invited to give the
show at Guymon, which invitation
has been accepted.
They certainly made good with
their two big audiences here.

LAURANT A REAL MYSTERY

"Larant," the man of many mys-
teries, who gave the fourth number
of the local lyceum course, gave a
most enjoyable performance to a nice
sized crowd at the Majestic last night.
His program confined a variety of
very clever tricks in magic, some so
condensed and deep that they were
hardly appreciated, but showed great
talent and quickness of hand, others
more simple and possible to follow.
Laurant is thot by many of his
audience here to be by far the best
of his kind ever seen in Liberal.
The next number is to be given
here on March 25th, and is known as
"The Southern Musicians" and they
come with an excellent reputation
and a carefully selected program.

are planning a box supper to be given
at the school house some night next
week, for the purpose of raising the
necessary funds to send the two
basket ball teams to the state tour
nament at Lawrence in the near

condition to make good showing, if
not to win the meet.
The girls team has not been beaten
during the season and the local fans
are doping them strong to take the
girls championship,
The supper will be open to the
people Of the town and country and

EXPECT MUCH BUILDING
IN LIBERAL THIS SPRING

"If one-fourth of the buildings
which are being figured are built this
year there is going to be a lot Of
building in Liberal this spring." said
a well-known lumberman to Demo
crat reporter the other day.
"We are figuring all kinds of bills,
but we do not expect to see all of
them result in buildings" he con-
tinued, "but if we figure that one in
four will be built it is going to be a
good year for building"
Liberal just must have more build
ings, both residence and business, or
we cannot grow further. Every house
is full and there is not as much as
an office room for rent in the entire
city.
And there will be building, too,
one of these days.

OUR GOOD WEATHER

Tuesday was as fine winter day
as Kansas has ever seen. A coat was
trifle uncomfortable along toward
midday, and there was no wind at
all. But Wednesday it was different,
and several different brands were in
evidence.
A strong wind came up from the
north and by o'clock we were re-
minded of old times in the southwest.
Then it turned cold and then it
showed a little, and later the sun
came out and Thursday was nice
again.
But twas tough while it lasted.
