Ancient kniQhtlY Order.

The order of Knights of Danne- brog was established in 1219 by Valde- mar II, according to Danish tradition, as a memorial of a victory over the Esthonians, won by the appearance in the sky of a red banner bearing a white cross. Historically the order dates back to 1671 when it was found- ed by Christian V. It was originally restricted to 50 knights and was fam fly or court decoration. In 1898 it was made an order of merit by Frederick VI and Is awarded only for distin- guished and meritorious services.
 The insignia of the knighthood is a white enameled Danish cross with red and gold borders, bearing in the center the letter w and on the four arms the inscription "Gud og Kon- gen" (for God and King). The ribbon is white with red edging. The rank is an honorary one and entities the recip- lent to use the title Sir" The rank and title are not hereditary.

Two Lively Basketball
 Games

The basket ball game given Thursday night was fairly well attended and the enthusiasm was marked. The first game between the high school and grammar school teams was a spirited con- test which afforded the spectators much amusement. At the end of the last half, the score was tied and the referee announced that the team winning two more points would be declared winner. The grammar team was victori- ous, the score being IA to 16. The second game was between the American Legion and the Lazy Five and while the score was very close for a time, the Legion boys forged steadily ahead and the final score stood 32 to 23. The referee for both games was Wm. Paul.

TRUE TO IDEALS OF HOME
Woman Conductor Would Have No Mud Tracked Into Elevator That
 She Was Running.

She was a fat, comfortable looking Irish woman. You could see her put ting out good washing or rocking baby, but 1t was hard to believe your eyes when you saw her running an elevator at night in an office building. There she was, just the same. And the little Italian who was scrubbing the main hall had left water, quite a puddle of it, in front of the elevator.
 All proceedings were stopped. The elevator did not run. With arms akim- bo she dressed down the hapless little man and ordered him back with his mop. "Come here and clean this up!" she ordered. "Ill not have folks track ing water into my elevator" He came.
 Memories of muddy feet on home scrubbed porches and immaculate halls. It was her elevator. not her em- ployer's, when she was running 1t, and tracked 1t should not be.
 Here's a toast to home ideals in public housekeeping. May they blot out worse flaws than the mere track ing of physical dirt New York Times.

Sharing Birds of Paradise.

To obtain the much prized feathers the New Guinea natives set out for the forest, knowing that the bird of para disc seeks to conceal his rainbow hues in the dense foliage of the trees. If they can find no haunt of the desired birds they start calling in excellent i'm itation of the shrill. ugly cry of the bird of paradise to its mate. This ruse Is usually successful, and bird shows itself only to be snared or shot down with arrows.
 In mating season the male bird dances before the female he desires as a mate, to display his beautiful feath- CTS. and at such time so absorbed are the birds in their own affairs that large numbers are easily taken by the willy natives.-Savannah Morning News.

Kinq of Poor Penmen.

The palm for illegibility is generally awarded to the late Horace Greeley, but in our own land probably Lecky was king of impossible penmen.
 There are veteran compositors alive who remember setting up his History of Morals" Those who could decipher the manuscript were more prized than their rivals who took Arabic and Hin dustani in their stride.

noted star had not gained as much
publicity as at the present time, con-
sequently Manager LeMonnier did
not advertise it as extensively as it
justified. Many who have become
regular patrons Of the Nazimova pro-

bring this picture back and he has
consented.
Those who have followed the series

best of the SERIES Having been for
tunate enough to have seen it the
first time it was shown we can per-

The settings are gorgeous and the

INCOME TAX OFFICIAL WILL
BE HERE JANUARY &c TO 20

Collector of Internal Revenue W.
H. l.. Pepperell, of Wichita, has an
nounced that his officers will start
from headquarters January "a and
on January 26 everyone of them will
be on the job in the county assigned
to him to meet the people and help
them to make their Income Tax re-
turn.
The officer assigned to this county
will be in Liberal January 26, 27, %
and 20, where he will be found ev-
cry day of the dates stated.
at will be well for every unmar-
ried person whose income for 1919
is 1000 or over, and every married
person living with wife or husband
whose income for 1919 is $4,000 or
over, to call on the income tax man
and learn whether or not they have
any tax to pay" announces Collector
Pepperell. "The person subject to
tax who doesn't make a return in the
time prescribed is going to regret it.
The government will get after all in
come tax slackers.
"There's hardly a business man,
merchant or professional man who
won't have to make return of income.
Farmers, as a class, will have to pay
income tax also. The safe thing to
do is for every person who is not sure
about what deductions the law allows
him, to play it safe by calling on the
income tax man.
"The men in the field will have
forms for everybody who did not file
a return in 1918. Those who filed
return for 1918 will receive form
from this office which they must use.
Do not wait for the deputy because
it will be impossible for him to make
returns for every one. So if you un-
derstand how to make your return do
so at once and send direct to this
office, and if not correrrect we will
so inform you"
The last date for filing 1919 in
come tax returns is March Is.

LIBERAL HIGH ROMPED ON
THE CRACK BUCKLIN TEAM
Basket Ball Game Saturday Night
Won by Liberal With Score
of FL to Is.

Before a crowd that occupied all
available space l.. H. S. basket ball
team won from the fast Bucklin
team Saturday night, the score being
21 to Is in favor of Liberal.
Bucklin has long been known as a
real basket ball town and the dope
was pretty strong for them to win
the game. Liberal had been beaten
by Plains while Bucklin took a good
long end of the score in their game
with that town.
The game started off with an eX-
hibition of fast heady playing by
both teams and this continued thru
out the game. While there was no
roughness both teams played for all
they were worth and displayed lots
of pep.
Superintendent Armstrong of
Minneola refereed the game and gave
excellent satisfaction.
The Liberal boys showed much
improvement in form over their
game with Plains and Coach Wood,
as we'll as the fans, are proud of the
showing made. With a continuation
of the efforts they have been making
they will be able to cope with the
best teams in the state and make a
creditable showing for L. H. S.
The men who showed up best for
Liberal were Bane and Engle, al
tho the entire team played with team
work that was surprising, showing
unusual form.
Baird, Bucklin's star forward, was
the only man on both teams who
played an errorless game. He also
scored 7 of the Is points made by
that team.
There will be no let-up in the prac.
tice of the team and the winning OF
the game Saturday night looks like
the beginning of long winning
streak for L. H. S.

are fortunate enough to make a
strike this stock is going to be worth
a lot of money. If we do not we will
have the satisfaction of knowing that
every cent was spent legitimately
and that not dollar was wasted. We
also know that if we bring in well
it is going to mean the beginning of
new era for this country and start
development, the effects of which
will be far reaching and will benefit
everyone"
Mr.. Dunnegan, who is in charge of
the drilling is a man who has had
lifetime experience in the drilling
game in this and foreign countries,
and had made a speciality of wildcat
tests. That he knows his business is
attested by the satisfactory manner
in which he built the rig and set the
machinery. He is of the opinion that
the well can be drilled in six months,
barring unusually serious conditions.
He has a crew of five experienced
men to assist him and the drill will
pound away night and day until the
desired depth is reached.
The stock Of the company is almost
all disposed of, something like six
thousand remaining that gets in on
the division of the promotion stock,
and when this is cleaned up the only
work ahead will be to push the work
of drilling the hole.
