Patten says:
NO FAMINE PRICES
DUE NEXT WINTER.
Famine food prices are NOT COM
ing next winter.
Flour ought to COME DOWN to
$12 or $13 barrel.
Potato prices will probably be CUT
IN HALF.
Cost of wearing apparel has COME
DOWN TO STAY DOWN
Fa-n labor shortage is no longer a
serious problem.
People are over their buying
fever"
Transportation tie-ups may help to
bring food prices down by preventing
big exports to Europe.
Cost of living generally WON'T BE
HGHER-with some things going
own and NONE GOING UP.
Briefly, that is the summing up of
the situation Patten made in an ex-
elusive interview given the Newspa-
per Enterprise Association.
Patten recently was quoted as say
ing he was tired of the worlds pres
ent strife and disccntent"-that
nobody wishes to work and every
body wants to make easy money
and wanted to get away from it all.
He isn't getting away from it.
ON THE JOB WITH
HIS EYES OPEN.
While he has retired from the pres
idency of the board of trustees of
Northwestern University where his
philanthropies total million and a
half, he is at his desk every day in
his Office across the street from the
Board of Trade, with one eye on
the grain market and the other on
the numerous companies in which ne
/ is director.
! He's 68, with white hair and mus
tache, with big jowls, a steady eye
huge frame, inclined to be portly
/ knotty hands with a good grip, q
wide smile-and an ever-present CT
/ gar. Patten is still in business up to
his neck and he knows everything
there is to know about grain-the
foundation of the worlds food sup.
ply.
Mainly food price reduction in the
/ United States depends on whether
the spring wheat crop of our coun-
try and Canada yields bountifully,' y
| said Patten. 81 think it will
Potato crops are splendid. Prices
ing So to $3.50 bushel. | wouldn'i
be surprised to see that cut in half.
SEES POSSIBLE
SLASH IN FLOUR PRICE
so when people--even so-cailed
experts-say famine prices are due
next winter, | say NO.
even if the wheat crop isn't
bountiful, | do not look for higher
prices. We've got much more thar
enough for ourselves. We will give
! Europe whatever transportation fa
/ cilities will let us. But even if the
export drain is big one, prices Of
| flour ought not to be higher. AnC
many things will be lower.
'If there's good crop flour should
come down to $12 or $13 a bar
rel"
Patten emphasized this point
with the high cost of living com
ing down, the actual sequence will b.
fewer labor demands. That will b.
the biggest kind of a help in the ad
iustment of things generally"
Spring wheat crops won't b.
ready for another six to eight weeks,

HEALTH ADVICE

IEuAUAtAA Int 1nha-
A little child does not Know right
from wrong until he Is taught by
older persons. He follows his w
fancy and gets his little hands and
feet into mischief, not knowing that
he IS doing anything which will cause
others or himself to come to grief.
Tor this reason, older persons must
be ready to guide the baby and teach
him The right method of behavior.
But that does not lea hat he
should be forbidden continually 10
do this or that or the other. \
IN Id should have. from his very early
infancy, the opportunity of choosing
to do things himself. If he is not
allowed to do this, he won't know
how to 50 and choose for him
self when he grows older and IS
obliged 20 do it.
On the other hand, it is necessary
for a child to learn obedience, and

20 obey; not. however, to obey a
command because I told you to do

pleasure to do so.
Harsh treatment or punishment
has no place in the proper up

inciinations lead him in the wrong
direction. some one must be at hand

MACHINERY LOADED FOR
THE NORTH OIL TEST
Good Outfit Bought in Towanda
Field Probably Now on Way
to Liberal.


j. c. Mahoney received wire
Wednesday from W. C. Bodine to the
effect that he had purchased and was
ready to load the machinery for the
oil well north of Liberal.
Just how long it will take to get
the machinery thru is not known
but the company has been promised
quick delivery and they expect it to
be unloaded here within week or
ten days.
With the machinery on the ground
and the derrick in place the matter
of starting will be but a short time.
Mr.. Mahoney says they have pur-
chased good outfit and will push
the hole one they get started.
Interest is daily increasing in the
north test. Away from Liberal it is
greater than here. While away last
week almost every person we met in
quired as to what was being done
with this proposition and predictions
that oil would be found in the test
were freely made by persons familiar
with the territory.

WON TWO GAMES
AND LOST ONE LAST WEEK
Won at Fowler and Ashland, But Lost
Greensburg Game by
Two Points.

The basket ball game at Fowler
last Thursday night was rather one
sided affair, Liberal winning from
Fowler High School by a score of SO
to 70. .
Friday night they went to Green's
burg where they lost with a score
of 81 to 20. This was one of the
hardes- fought games Of the season.
Liberal scored first, but Grensburg
soon followed, and at the half that
team was four points in the lead.
In the first few minutes of the
second half Liberal evened the score
and made a few to the good, main
tanning this lead until within one
minute of the close when Greensburg
made two field goals, winning the
game by two points.
Greensburg has not been defeated
this year and it is to the credit of the
Liberal fellows that they held them
so close.
The Greensburg fans are a good
bunch Of sports and treated the three
rooters from Liberal with courtesy.
The following evening Liberal and
Ashland played hard-fought game
at Ashland, Liberal winning 25 to 27.
The Liberal boys feel good over
their two victories and have conf
dence that when Greensburg comes
to Liberal they will take the champs
to a cleaning.
A double-header is scheduled for
Liberal Saturday night, Meade and
Sublette teams both coming for
games.

COMPANY E GIVEN
HIGH RATING IN STATE
Inspecting Officers Pronounce Local
Company Superior to All
Others in State.

Last Friday morning Company E,
K. N. G., had their second annual
inspection, and as usual came out
with flying colors.
In the morning the armory, ,inspec-
tion was held at which time the prop
erty of the company was gone over.
In the evening company inspection
was held before a large crowd of in
terested persons. The boys were
equal to the occasion and made good
in a walk.
At night banquet was served at
the Cimarron for the visiting officers
The Liberal Chamber of Commerce
was well represented at the meeting
and several of the members made
talks.
President H. W. Magruder said
that the town had not taken the prop
er interest in the affairs of the COM
pany, but that is was merely an over
sight, and that in the future they
could rely upon the organization for
anything needed.
Other business men spoke as to the
advisability of paying the members
their salary while at encampment and
most of those present agreed to do
this hereafter.
Col. Barr made talk in which he
explained that it was to the interest
Of employers to pay their men while
away. He said they returned as if
from an outing and were more eff
ficient workmen for the vacation.
The company was given the highest
possible recommendation for morale
of men, good condition of equipment
and spacious armory. In fact the in
specting officers said the local COM
pany ranked highest in the state
not bad advertisement for Liberal
While the town has done a few
things for the company there remain
many that could be done, and since
the matter has been agitated we feel
safe in saying that they will not ask
in vain for anything.
TNe' company at this time numbers
93 members, and it is desired to add
at least 25 in order to take the places
of those who will be discharged on ac-
count of physical unfitness.
Anyone wishing to join should
hand their name to Captain Hillyard,
Lieutenant Fleak or Lieutenant
Evans.

EXCELLENT
IN SEWARD COUNTY

The editor of the Democrat has
been more or less all over Southwest
ern Kansas counties the past few
weeks and as the result of our travels
have found that the prospects for
wreat crop are better in Seward
than any county we have visited.
Even Ford county, which has been
heretofore known as one of the BAN
ner counties of the state, cannot COM
pare with Seward on prospects. The
greater part of the fields are not ev-
en- green while those of Seward are a
thick mat.
Seward county will again compare
favorably with the wheat counties of
the state and make better showing
than many of them.
Those people who thought this was
not destined to become wheat coun-
try will have to change their minds.

E CONSTRUCTING
MODERN RIFLE RANGE HERE
Will Be East of Liberal and Thoroly
Modern in Every
Respect.

Company E, X. N. G., is to have a
modern rifle range east of Liberal in
the near future.
Plans are under way and will soon
be worked out whereby this will be
possible. 1t is the intention to have
a strictly modern rifle range for use
of the Guardsmen as we'll as small
bore range and pistol ranges for the
use of business men.
There will be two double targets
with ranges up to 800 yards, in addi-
ton to the small bore and pistol
ranges. and also a place for trap
shooting.
A range house will be built to ac-
commodate visitors and the business
men and Others may have access to
the conveniences.
A new class in craftsmanship will
be started next week and several re-
cruits are desired. Col. Barr gave
the information that the best men
will go this year even if they all come
from the same company. 1t is ex-
pected to take eight or ten from
here to the National meet.
Lieut.. Evans says that any young
fellow with sufficient pep and get-up
can make the team and he would be
glad to see them come out.

ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
LAUNCHED HERE WEDNESDAY
Board of Governors Authorized
Agency to Start Advertising
~f For Settlers.

The Board of Governors of the
Great Southwest Association met
here Wednesday afternoon and trans
acted lot of important business.
The first matter to be considered
was the selection of permanent sec
retary, and after considering several
applications, Donald McIver, former
ly telegraph editor Of the Wichita
Beacon, was selected for the place at
a salary of $4,000 per year. 1t was
also decided to buy a car for Mr..
McIver's use in travelling from county
to county in the interest of the or
ganization.
Those acquainted with Mr.. McIver
are of the opinion that he is well
qualified for the place and will make
good in a difficult position.
Hugh McVey of the Southwestern
Advertising Agency Of Wichita, was
also present. He was given instruc-
tions to start the campaign at once,
and he will proceed to issue the book
let within the next ten days. These
booklets will be descriptive of the
country in general, and will be sent
to inquiries coming from the maga-
zine campaign.
There is available at this time
something like $4,000 for the adver-
tising fund and $4,000 for the ex-
pense fund of the association.
One of the purposes Of the organ
ization, besides increasing the pro-
duction of the crops adapted to this
section, is to further advertise the
merits of these crops as feed. Both
kafir and milo maize are the equal Of
any grain grown, but in lots of Sec
tions they are comparatively un-
known. When the truth reaches 9TH
ers there will necessarily be greater
demand and consequently a better
price, thus benefiting not only those
who come to the country, but those
already here.
The meeting was very enthusi-
astic one from every angle, and very
few points to be ironed out. It
seemed to be the desire of every
representative to get the proposition
started as soon as possible and all
worked with this end in view.
Among those present at the meet
ing were: C. C. Isely, Dodge City;
L. o. Stanley, Satanta; ]. H. Ras-
mussen, Jetmore; |. J. Carter, Garden
City; C. C. Wilson, Meade; C. A.
Showers, Rolla; Mr.. Downs, Hugo
ton; C. A. Terry, Two Buttes, Colo;
C. l.. Bennett, Johnson City; ]. A.
Hillyard, Lakin; Maude o. Thomas,
Beaver
After the meeting a dinner was
served at the Cimarron to which the
visitors were invited. There were
several talks and general good
time. At this meeting Mr.. McVey
went over the advertising plan for
the benefit of those who had not at
tended previous meetings.
Now if each county will fall in
line and hold up their end on the
county advertising plan the Great
Southwest Association is bound to
become one of the big things of the
age.

LEGION TEAM WON
FROM MEADE TOWN TEAM

The Liberal American Legion bas-
ket ball team went to Meade We'd
nesday night for a game with the
town team at that place, winning by
a score of 10 to 26.
Those who accompanied the team
say it was good game.
Meade must have some town team
to hold that fast Legion bunch to
such a small score.
