Foibles of a Foolish Flapper.

If flap gets an inch, she will not hold out for a
mile, if it is cloth.
Before the styles began to ascend the truth was
called the low-down. Now it is the high-up.
Kissing fapper used to take lot of nerve: Now
it takes a lot of money.
The sophisticated flap believes that one hand in
the pocket is worth two in marriage. @'os
Just about the time you begin to believe you have
figured out iapper your adding machine breaks
down.. -
aapper is as old she looks in as little neces-
sary without blocking the traffic.
Styles would not vary from season to season if it
were not for the men, They make 'em, buy 'em and
trip over the curb while turning to see 'em.

Sees Star
In KleSch

Buffalo, N. Y. Sept. 11.-They
have a young middleweight fighter
out in Cleveland, Ohio, named John
ny klesch, who will bear watching.
He is a high school graduate and
before taking up boxing as an anna
teur he distinguished himself at
football, baseball and track ath-
letics on the high school teams.
Wins Two Titles.
At the age of eighteen, after hav-
ing won in several amateur tourna-
ments in Ohio and throughout the
middle western States, Klesch en-
tered the National A. A. u. tourna-
ment and won the 145 pound cham
pionship, and later on he won the
championship in both welterweight
and middleweight classes. He sue
cessfully defended the middleweight
title in 1919 and then turned pro-
fessional. Since then he has won
every contest in which he has en-
gagged, and a remarkable feature Of
his bouts is that he knocked down
every one of his opponents. After
winning three preliminary battles
he jumped into the main bout class
! and out Of eight fights he won five
by knockouts and won the referees
decision over Billy Weeks. then
Ohio middleweight champion in a
twelve round contest.
Interesting Style.
Klesch has an interesting style
and never fails to please the fans.
He has the finesse of a Kilbane, the
snappy hitting power Of Benny
) Leonard. the punch of q Jack
Dempsey and the aggressiveness
and pluck Of Battling Nelson. The
boxing enthusiastic Of Ohio are en-
amored of the klesch fighting style,
and whenever he is billed to fight
there he draws big crowd. Many
experts have expressed the belief
that he will become middleweight
champion of the world within the
year.
Jerry Sacks, one Of Uncle Sans
fighting men in the late war and an
excellent Judge of pugilists, has
Klesch under his management and
Jerry thinks SO we'll Of him that he
is willing to match him with any
middleweight in the country. HI
bars no one at from 1873 to 16(
pounds and he is willing to trave
any distance in order 70 keep hi
J young battler busy.

Heart Sock
Is Dempsey
~
Meal Ducat
By DEAN SNYDER.

The heart-sock! What is it?
Page Jack Dempsey, its keeper.
1t is fundamentally a blow lev
eled just below the heart.
The effects Of this particular kind
Of sock produce a willing sensa-
ton, a slipping away OF interest.
The hope spark fades from the eye
OF the bird on the receiving end.
All dreams Of crowns and big
purses peter out.
The heart-sock trademark post
PONIES all aspirations of gents who
would cop the title and enter the
movies for some easy kale.
1t Got willard.
This was the blow that sent Jess
Willard on his way to defeat at
Toledo. 1t took all the fight out
OF hiu. He lost heart and interest
in Dempsey's game after he took
one.
The same thing happened to
Billy Miske when he received this
brand Of fistic token from Dempsey
at Benton Harbor. "--
Miske felt the heart-sock in the
first round with the champion. He
brought down his guard to the ten
der spot and cried out with pain
Dempsey Jet him live out the
round.
Toppled Miske.
In the second round the champion
shot the same kind of a blow
through, which careened Miske
across the ring and down for half
the count. Having taken all the
fight out of the challenger the
challenger finished the job in the
third round by applying the work
Manship to Miske's chin.
That's what the heart-sock &C.
tually does when applied. 1t is the
most deadly punch ever employed
by any fighter.
Body Smash.
The old line of. punchers may
have experimental with it, but
they didn't have the dynamite be-
hind it that Dempsey possesses.
That's what makes Jack the ring
terror. He has found that nothing
slows an opponent down quite like
a body smash. When a couple OF
these are landed the receiver hangs
his jaw over and that's all Demp-
sey could ask of any man.
And Dempsey will be making all
the hoys eat their crow before an
other year il they insist on taking
q SHINE at the heavyweight title
paraphernalia. ...
More Powerful
When Dempsey made cripple
out of Willard many were skep-
teal that it was just one OF those
incidents that happen once in a life
time. 1t was questionable whether
he could pastime in the films and
then return and show the same
kird of sock.
i That state of affairs no Longer
exists. Dempsey has shown thai
liz there is any difference in his tao
tbs and his power II months age
and now it is that he is more OF 8
tiger as a champ .ol than as a con
fte1der.

GREENBERG'S STORE
ROBBED MONDAY NIGHT
Burglar Took 13 Suits, 4 Pair of
Shoes and a Sweater.
No Clue.

I. Greenberg, the new owner of the
Feinberg clothing store, was initi-
ated Monday night in a manner not
at all to his liking.
Some time during the night burg
lars entered the store carrying off
thirteen suits of mems clothing, four
pairs of shoes and sweater.
The robbery was not discovered
until late Tuesday evening, and it
was by chance it was discovered then.
Some new suits had been hung on the
front rack and a customer desiring
something like them Mr.. Greenberg
went to show them when he found
they were all gone. Checking up the
number received and those sold he
found discrepancy, and counting
the remaining suits on the rack
found thirteen short. Then he be-
gan looking around and found the
shortage in the shoe section, while a
sweater from a pile on a table was
missing.
How the thief gained entrance to
the building is unknown. The bolt
on the back door was in place the
next morning so it is hardy likely
the thief left that way.
Another peculiar thing was in con-
nection with the lock on the front
door. After the show Mr.. Green's
berg and some friends went to the
store and in trying to unlock the door
broke the key. Harry Malone was
in the party and remembered that at
one time Feinberg had lost his key,
and the two unlocked the door with
a knife. He went to the store and
got knife but it would not spring
the lock, so it was left until the next
morning when Greenberg had to
break in himself.
Thus the situation is complicated
as it cannot be figured out how the
thief got into the store or how he
got out But the goods are missing
so he evidently got out some way.

Mr.. Steele is a graduate of the
Pittsburg Normal and later was an
instructor in the summer school con-
Quoted by the Normal. From an
educational standpoint he is a strong
man, while from Meade comes the
information that as the executive
head of the schools he is highly sue
cessful. He is young man, an ath-
lete, and is well liked by both stu
dents and patrons.
He is not a stranger among stu
dents of Liberal high school, having
acted as referee at several foot ball
games in which Liberal took part,
and his uniform fairness won him the

opinion that the high standard of the
schools will be maintained, and with

Southwestern Motor Sales Co. Secure
Eight Counties as Their
Territory

Liberal is to be the distributing
point for the Nash 6 and the Nash
trucks, the Southwestern Motor Sales
Company having contracted for the
agency for six counties in southwest
Kansas and two in Oklahoma.
The Nash is new car in this terri
tory but not new in the motor world,

Seward, Haskell and Grant in Kan
sas, and Texas and Cimarron coun-
ties in Oklahoma.
The sales for Seward county will
be handled by the company, while
sub-agents will be secured in the
other counties, and it is expected to
do a big business with these popular
cars and trucks.
The company has temporary To-
cation on West Second street until
such time as their garage on Wash
ington aveue is completed,
They will also continue handling
Maxwell cars and trucks and with the
two lines will be able to give their
patrons just about what they desire
in either car or truck.
