PREPARE CAPONS
FOR BEST PRICE
No Feed or Water Should Be
Given for "a Hours Before
Fowls Are Killed.
STICKING METHOD FAVORED
Some Feathers Should Be Allowed to
Remain as Distinguishing Mark
Pack in Neat Boxes of Most
Convenient Size.

Capons selected for killing should
be confined for "a hours without feed
or water to empty their crops com
pletely. The usual method of killing
is known as the sticking method. The
fowl is hung up by the feet, the head
in the left hand, and the whole body
stretched to full length. The mouth is
forced open and the blood vessels at
the back of the throat are severed
with a sharp narroW-bladed knife.
The knife is then turned and the
point plunged through the roof of the
mouth to a point just behind and be
tween the eyes, piercing the brain.
The muscles are relaxed and the
feathers come out easily.
Dry Picking Is Best.
Capons Should always be dry picked
as they look much better and as some
of the feathers should be left ON. The
feathers Of the neck and head, the tail
feathers, those a short way up the
back, the feathers of the last two
joints of the wing, and those of the
leg about One-third Of the way from
knee to hip joint, should be left on.
These feathers, together with the head
of the Capon, serve to distinguish it
from other classes of poultry on the
market, and consequently should
never be removed. In packing, be
careful not to tear the skin. Bad
tears, poultry specialists of the United
States department of agriculture say,

Good Plan to Treat Tops With Creo-

Prevent Deterioration.

If the top of the fence post is bev-

soaking into the top of the post and
causing decay. 1t is as important to
conserve the top of the posts as the

After picking, the carcasses are
hung in cool place until the animal
heat has entirely left the body, when
they are ready to be packed. Like

in boxes Of convenient size, holding a

FOR SHERIFF

1t would look like a joke if we
were to try to tell anyone anything
about R. w. Dickerson, candidate
for sheriff.
1t is doubtful if there is another
man in the county any better known
than Bob Dickerson. He is an auc-
tioneer, and a good one, and if he
makes as good a sheriff as he has
an auctioneer, he should be given the
office the rest of his life.
He has been a resident of Seward
county for so long that we cannot re-
member and had a large part in
the building up Of Liberal-he haul
ed the brick for many of the first
brick buildings in town. Besides
this he was very much in evidence
war activities and probably did more
effective talking than any man in
the county
Bob has a program mapped out
which he will pursue of he is elected.
This is that he is going to do his
duty according to the laws govern
ing his office. To use his expression
he will hew to the line and let the
chips fall where they may. This is
really a good platform and anyone
who knows how stubborn he is knows
he viii do just what he says he will
do. He has been of much assistance
to former sherifFs of the county
in the matter of advising as to meth
DDS of catching criminals, and as he
is man who always has kind word
and smile for everyone he is ma
turally popular.
He has the support Of some of the
best people in the county and if you
want a sheriff who Will take the
statutes of the state as his dictionary,
you can feel safe by voting for Bob
Dickerson for Sheriff.

CLERK OF THE
DISTRICT COURT

With all due respect to the estim-
able contender for this office on
the opposition ticket the Democratic
Committee feels that in W. B. King
they have candidate who should re-
ceive majority of the votes of the
people Of Seward county regardless
of party affiliation.
King is every inch a man, is
competent in every way, but he is a
quiet, unassuming gentleman who is
not very well acquainted over the
county. When the war broke out
he was a stenographer and assistant
to Attorney G. W. Sawyer land a
most faithful and valued employee
Notwithstanding the fact that he had
an excellent position with every
chance of promotion, regardless of
the fact that he had a wife and child,
he could not stay at home when
other young men were going to the
front. His wife expressing a will
ingness to make the sacrifice, he re-
signed his position and enlisted. He
did his bit with the balance Of the
young fellows, and when it was over
ne came back to take up his work
where he had left off.
His action in this matter is most
commendable, and while he is max
ing his campaign upon the strength
of his fitness for the office, his
friends are urging this in addition
to his own modest claims.
He has studied law and handled
matters pertaining to and through
the office and knows every detail
OF the work already, and his exper-
Sence will enable him to give the
people of the county the very best
service in this position.
Before coming to Kansas Mr.. King
was engaged in legal work in Ken
lucky, having been associated with
the assistent attorney general, and
also in the office of the county at
torney In these positions he had
much to do with the office of clerk
of the district court, and this exper-
fence will be of much benefit to him
in this position.

Every two years the committee

times he is elected, sometimes do
feated. Two years ago he was beat
en-, and as this is his time to win we
feel that he should be given enough
votes to get by.
Conditions might arise which
would make this a very important Of
flee and should the duties become
important it would be well to have
competent man to look after them.
Charley will do this if elected and he
will appreciate your vote. Don't for

his name right there in front of a
square ready for your cross X mark.

FOR COUNTY CLERK

In casting about for a candidate
for county clerk the Central Com
mittee decided upon an ex-service
man for two reasons. The first was
that he was competent, the second
they felt it duty to recognize the
fellows who went to the front and
did their bit for the security of the
nation.
The name of Eldon Dudley was
presented to the committee, and was
given its unanimous endorsement.
Dudley has been a resident of
Liberal for many years. He is clean,
capable, obliging, and efficient. As
steady as a clock, always on the job,
he has made lot of friends who
will be glad to support him in the
coming election.
But the fact that he is qualified in
every way is not the only reason he
was chosen for this place. Dudley
waived his legal exemption and went
to the service and did his bit. He
sustained injuries which prevent him
from some classes of work for which
he is best fitted. He was operated
upon and will have to go back for
further treatment.
He can handle the work of the Of
flee and the people of Seward county
should show their appreciation of
the sacrifice he made by answering
the call of his country.
Remember Eldon Dudley on cleo
ton day and support a man eminent
ly qualified and more than deserv-
ing.

FOR COUNTY
ATTORNEY

Two years ago E. W. Davis was q
candidate for County Attorney. In
town where he was best known b.
made wonderful race, being the
only Democratic candidate to carry
the city. But in the country it was
different. He was not acquainted.
He spent most of his time during the
campaign helping his father harvest
his crops and did not get out to cam
paign any. And when the vote came
in from the country he was defeated.
Again this year he has been so
busy that he has had but little time
to get out and make a canvass, and
many people have not met him. He
is trying to see as many as possible
but the time is too short for him to
get around over the entire county,
so this is about as near as many
people will come to having an OPP
portunity of getting acquainted with
him.
Davis is first qualified. While he
is young attorney he has had
good practice, he knows the law as
well as any attorney of his age in the
state. He is a student and has had
excellent schooling as well as several
years active practice. There is no
doubling his qualifications, as he has
enough and to spare.
As to the administration of the
duties of the office, there are no
strings on Davis. He belongs to no
faction or clan, but stands out in the
open, untrammelsd, able to use his
own pleasure in administering the
affairs of the office. There is no
one who can come to him and influ-
ence him one way or the other as to
enforcement of the laws of the state
He promises law enforcement if
elected, and pledges himself to act
impartially without fear or favor,
that the law is enforced, no matter
whom it may effect adversely.
If the people of Seward county
want that kind of a man for County
Attorney they can prove it by elect
ing E. W. Davis.

PROBATE JUDGE

Although this place was open for
some time no one came forward to
take it. The Committee then drafted
T. B. Moore as candidate, and after
much persuasion he was induced to
accept the nomination.
The Democrat can say little of
Mr.. Moore that is not already known
by the people of Seward county. AL
most every man has done something
which has brought him into contact
with tie people and Mr.. Moore has
made most of his acquaintance
through his activities in . Sunday
School work.
He has lived here since the time
Liberal first started to grow and has
had his part in the development of
the city and county. For the most
of this time he has been engaged in
the real estate and insurance bus
mess, and although it is a personal
sacrifice on his part to accept this
office he agreed to do so, and is an
active candidate.
Mr.. Moore is we'll fitted to con-
duct the office and if chosen by the
people of the county they will have
no reason to be dissatisfied, for he is
man who believes in doing things
right and he will see that every
record is kept right up to the minute.
Thoroughness is his motto in every
thing he does, and this is one quality
which a Probate Judge should have.
The records of this office are real
ly of greatest Importance of any in
the court house, and the keeping Of
these will be safe if T. B. Moore is
probate judge.
In the administration of the duties
of the juvenile court which devolve
upon the probate judge, he is es-
pecially qualified and the Committee
feels fortunate in securing so COM
petent man as T. B. Moore. You
cannot go wrong if you vote for him
for this office.

ELECTION DAY IS DRAWING NEAR
Candidates are Making Final Campaigns.
Clean-Cut Campaign Has been
Conducted Thus Far.

The present campaign is one of
the most quiet ever conducted. 1t
is one of issues rather than men and
in but few instances is there any
ill-feelings, and the mud-slinging
which usually marks campaigns on
years of Presidential elections is not
apparent.
Especially is the county campaign
tame, and unless fights develope be-
tween now and election day, which
is unlikely, the people will have an
opportunity to decide whom they
will support without prejudice.
The Democratic party has a COM
plete ticket in the field with the
exception of one office, which the
committee decided to withhold op-
position.
It is fitting at this time to say
word on behalf of the candidates of
the party, that the voters may have
the opportunity of judging as to
their fitness for the offices they seek.

REPRESENTATIVE

For Representative you will note
on the ballot the name of A. A.
Farmer. Mr.. Farmer is too well
known to the people of Seward
county to need introduction. He went
to Topeka and represented the
county, and he did good job. He sat
down hard on every Jim crack mea-
sure calculated to make taxes higher
and the statutes bulkier.
He is said to have voted against
the "grasshopper poison" bill and did
vote against the 1917 measure be-
cause it was of no benefit to the
farmers. His judgement was vindi
Gated when the 1919 legislature re-
peaked the law to which he objected
and passed new law as he favored it
in 1917.
He was known as "the crankiest
man in the legislature" because he
did not favor bunch of freak leg
islation, junkets and useless COM
missions at state expense. Now
those who thought him cranky" ad-
NIT he was right and that they were
wrong.
AL Farmer has farmed in this sec
ton. He knows the needs of the
farmer, He has been in business
and kn0 VS. the needs of the bus
mess interests.
A vote for him in the coming cleo
tion will be vote for a man of
seasoned judgment, man who has
had varied experience and who is
capable of making laws for the gov
eminent of the people of the county
and state.
