The Panic

The wise men now predict a
panic before this year grows
old; there'll be catastrophes
titanic by autumn, we are told.
The wise men hand us, through
their faces, OF all sad news the
worst; the present boom has no
sound basis, and it is bound to
burst. Then there'll be coming,
fast and faster, all kinds of perils
dire the doc will pawn his mus
tard plaster. the bard will soak
his Tyre. Then giddy boys who
now are burning the costly
brands. of gas will be for hand
outs vainly yearning-they1l
have to feed on grass. So now,
while coin seems rather plenty,
let's make the strongboN thrive.
and every month salt down
twenty, or maybe twenty-five.
Let's do some wise and cautious
planning against the time of
stress, and when we see the
panic panning we will survive, |
guess. And if the panic doesn't
reach us we'll be ahead our
store; and saving some will
surely teach us the way to save
some more. WALT MASON.

$4,000 making a total Of $4,000.
Lieut.. E. A. Evans in conversation
with a Democrat reporter regarding
the bill, ventured the opinion that
Liberal would be interested in the
proposition. According to his idea
the American Legion could be taken
care of in the building and that it
could be turned to many local uses
which would be an advantage to the
city.
The expenditure of one hundred
thousand dollars is for two years,
one half in 1921 and the other in
1922. Should Liberal take the proper
interest it might be possible for the
town to get in on the first years ap-
preparation.
This is a matter for the Liberal
Chamber of Commerce to work on
and we hope it will be taken up at the
next meeting

lRy international NrIA servIcel

CBy International NewA Service)
Washington, Dec. 29.-The enor-
nous sum of one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in cash was refused
by President Wilson for a single
newspaper article it was learned TO-
day.
The offer of this great sum was
made by a prominent newspaper syn
dicate. The only stipulation in the
contract was that the article be the
first written by Mr.. Wilson after he
left the White House.
The President was to be allowed
to choose his own subject and the
length of the article.
In his note of refusal to accept the
offer President Wilson said that no
article was worth so much money
and he did not feel justified in ac-
cepting it.
This is probably the highest price
ever offered for a similar article
under such favorable terms.

UNDER NENtAWL|BERAL
MAY YSECURESTATEFUND
Adj. Gen. Martin Would Have Legislature
ApprOriate Money For
Home Guard.
THE CITY MUST FURNISH A SHARE

Liberal will have the opportunity
to secure a home for Company E.,
Kansas National Guards, if bill ad-
vocated by Adj. Gen. c. /. Martin,
becomes a law.
Martin will ask the legislature to
appropriate 100000 to be spent in
providing permanent armories for the
National Guard comanies of the state.
There are sixteen guard units in Kan
sas, and it is the contention of Gen.
Martin that these should have perma-
nent headquarters. To this end, he
is asking law authorizing the appro-
priation of one hundred thousand
dollars for this purpose. According
to the text of the bill, the city in
which the building is located, must
donate money or property equal to
one-half the amount allowed by the
state, the minimum allowance being
$4,000 and the maximum 100000.
The towns in which buildings may
be located are Liberal, Wichita, Law
renee, Atchinson, Hutchinson, Empo-
ria, Newton, Kansas City, Topeka,
Abilene, CofFeyville, lola, Clay Gen.
ter, Council Grove, Peabody and
Kingman.
According to Gen. Martin it is al
most out of the question for the
guard companies to secure adequate
quarters. This is true in Liberal. The
company has the use of the present
armory rent free. The owners can
not always furnish the building at
the present rate and as the town
grows and rents become higher there
must necessarily be a change.
Liberal should get back of this
proposition and see that the repre-
sentative from this part of the state
are made familiar with the PROPOSE
ton. If the National Guard is a good
thing for Liberal it is likewise good
thing for the balance Of the state and
should have the support of the peo-
pie.
Then when the Legislature makes
the appropriation Liberal must gel
