Delicate fabrics, the dalntiest Of

for tastefulness In the McCreery
negligees and tea gowns.
One finds here In the many
variations of lounglng robes and
teagowns a restraint, n simplicity
and a richness of effect so graft
flying to the discriminating
woman.
A lace jacket worn over a
charmeuse slip Is most becoming
TO many women. A McCreery
tea gown Of this type has a shell
pink slip, empire fashion, with
chiffon, frills In the skirt, ban
deau bodice, low cut and daintily
trimmed, and shoulder straps.
Over It, a margot lace coat wells
shoulders and arms. The pattern
in the lace trails gracefully al
elbows and sways from a fluted
ribbon binding at the neckline.
Quite soft as TO lines, quite
French in its dellcacy, quite
smart in effect. An alluring gown

LOUIS GIBBS LIVES WITH
BULLET THROUGH BRAIN
Unexplainable Accident Happened
Saturday.-Boy Shot With
.22 Rifle. .

Louis Gibbs, twelve years old, son
of Chas. Gibbs, was found lying in a
field a miles west of town with bullet
in the back of his skull, Sunday even
ing by Chas. Miller. Young Gibbs is
now in the Liberal hospital in seri-
Gus condition.
He had been shot by a 90 rife
and the bullet had entered the left
eye near the nose. An X-ray found
the bullet lodged in the back of the
skull. A surgeon removed the bull
let
Saturday Young Gibbs and other
boy companions went on hunting
trip and were wandering in the coun-
try in the vicinity of the oil well. Late
in the day the other boys returned
to town. From all information gath
cred the Gibbs boy was in the field
seriously wounded Saturday night
and all day Sunday. Chas. Miller,
who knew that the boys were there
on Saturday, started to look for the
boy late Sunday after the boys who
had left young Gibbs the day before
had come again Sunday and stated
that Louis had failed to reach town.
When Mr.. Miller found the boy he
was lying on his face, protecting his
left eye with his hand. Mr.. Miller
stopped a passing auto party which
was driven by T. A. Tegarden and
the boy was brought to the hospital

SEVERAL BURNED IN
EXPLOSION AT WIDEAWAKE

The Christmas exercises at Wide
awake were somewhat marred by an
accident which, while serious enough,
might easily have terminated more
seriously.
During the program the acetylene
lights went out, due to stoppage in
the feed pipe. Several of the men
of the neighborhood who were ia
milar with the mechanism went to
the pit to see what was wrong, find
ing that it would be necessary to re-
move the air-tight drum. In order
to work a lantern was secured and
when the drum was removed the
escaping gas was ignited causing an
explosion.
A. G. Thompson, /. R. Clodfelter
and Bert Thompson were near the pit
and all suffered burns. Mr.. Thomp.
son was burned on the forehead, but
not seriously. Bert suffered some
burns and Mr.. Clodfelter was burned
on the hands and face. The plant
was put in order and the program
given although the gentlemen closest
the explosion were not able to enjoy
it as much as they would have other
wise.

STOCK COMPANY
CLOSED SATURDAY NIGHT
A Fine Company of Ladies and Cen
tlemen, Clever Actors and
New Plays.

The Grandi Bros. Stock Company
closed weeks engagement at the
Majestic Saturday night with
crowd which filled the house to ca
pacity, more than a hundred being
turned away.
The Majestic has played some
mighty good companies this season,
but with all due respect to them we
must say that the Grandi's put on the
best class of plays and in better
shape than any which have yet visit
ed us.
They had good crowds and left
with the knowledge that they had
made good with Liberal theatre-go-
ers and would be accorded a warm
welcome whenever they saw fit to re-
turn.
Carl Grandi has only recently
Joined the company, having served
with the expeditionary force in
France.
The company left on No. Sun
day for Guymon and will play at
Texhoma the following week. We
can say to the play-goers of these
towns that they can expect the best
when they see the Grandi Stock
Company.

CARS NEEDED TO SHIP
THE BIG GRAIN CROP

There are more than dozen
threshing machines near Liberal at
work this week. There are thous-
ands of bushels of the spring crop
ready for the market and unless the
car shortage situation changes with
in the next few days there will be
much of the grain lost. The spring
grain crop cannot suffer the weather
conditions and hold its feed value.
1t has been discovered that there
are no available cars on this division
of the Rock Island; that many of the
cars are east somewhere. Such a
condition has never before existed
We have heretofore raised fairly
good crops, but never before have we
been denied the use of cars for
shipping grain to the eastern market.
