HAZEL BOYS EXoNORATED
IN GIBBS SHOOTING CASE

Because of the fact that they were
with Lewis Gibbs the day he was
shot, it was thought in some quarters
that the little Hazel boys had a
knowledge at least of the accident.
County Attorney G. L. Light informs
the Democrat that in his mind the
Hazel boys had absolutely nothing
to do with the shooting, and did not
know of the accident. He complete
ly exonerates them from all blame
in the matter.

to the Democrat. THE hearing in
the application for an injunction
against the issuance of the bonds
voted the Kansas & Oklahoma Rail
road, filed by R. NJ. Crawford of
Stevens county, came up before
Judge Vance in hambers today.
Upon application of attorneys the
case was indefinitely postponed, the
attorneys giving the opinion that the

This will no doubt settle the con-
troversy and will not in any way de-
lay the building of the road.

SEWARD COUNTY TO co
AFTER THE AUTO THIEVES
$500 Reward Hung Up by the Coun-
ty Dads For Persons Steal
ing Cars.

At the meeting of the County
Commissioners Monday it was de-
cided to offer a standing reward for
the arrest and conviction of any per-
son or persons stealing an automo-
bile within the county.
The offer of such a sum will no
doubt be dampner upon the auto
stealing industry here as it will make
a thoro search worth while, and the
guilty will more than likely be brot
to justice.
The Democrat cannot but believe
that the Commissioners used wisdom
in the matter and if a few thieves are
caught it will be a warning to 9TH
ers who might be inclined in that
direction.

INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE AT
DODGE AROUSED ENTHUSIASM
A Great Organization to Boost
Southwest Resulted From Call
For the Meeting.

AS a result of the calling of an
Industrial Conference at Dodge City
a movement was launched which will
disclose to the world the many ad-
vantages offered in this great and
growing country.
Liberal was represented in the
meeting by President Magruder and
Secretary Millman of the Liberal
Chamber of Commerce and Frank G.
Boles, and all returned home bub-
bling with enthusiasm regarding the
movement.
According to plans worked out
twenty-one counties, which includes
Beaver, Cimarron and Texas coun-
ties, Oklahoma, and Powers and
Baca counties in Colorado, the bal
ance being in Kansas, will join in an
organization to advertise the terri
tory.
No name was chosen for the or
ganization, but temporary officers
were chosen as follows:
President-A. H. Warner, Garden
City, Kansas.
Secretary-Treasurer-H. W. Ma
gruder, Liberal, Kansas.
A constitution was adopted which
provides board of governors, one
from each county represented. W.
V. Griffith was named as the COVER
nor from Seward County.
1t was decided to raise a fund of
something like $4,000 to be ex-
pended in advertising the territory
within the organization. Member
ship fees are $5 per year and some
thing over $500 was taken in at the
meeting at Dodge City.
The first regular meeting will be
held at Garden City on February End,
at which time the officers will be
elected for the coming year. Quite
naturally every town in the organ
ization will want to be represented
in the list of officers, so it would be
well for Liberal to exhibit some of
her old time pep" and get into the
game and land one of the places.
We have men who could handle any
of them and big crowd can go and
get something good. In fact we
should go to the meeting a couple
of hundred strong whether or not we
want an officer, as we have always
furnished the big crowd and at the
first meeting at Dodge we were rep
resented by quality rather than
quantity.
1t is the present plan to have a
paid secretary to look after the gi-
gantic adVc. Using campaign, and a
committee was appointed to appor-
ton the desired amount among the
membership counties
This is one Of the big things at
tempted in this part of the country.
The principal object is to induce
more people to come to this part of
the state. When land is cheap and
crops are abundant all that is neces-
sary is to let folks know what we
really have and we can get all the
settlers we need to farm the vacant
land in this copotry, and when this is
done we will have accomplished
something beneficial, not only to
those whom we induced to come but
to those of us who are already here.
1t is a movement that should have
the hearty support of every citizen
of the country whether residents of
the town or the country. 1t is to the
interest of all and all should assist.

PROGRESS SHOWN IN
 CHILD HYGIENE WORK

How far the states have officially recognized the importance of child welfare work is brought out in the annual report of the children's bureau of the United States department of labor. At the present time 35 states have created child hygiene or child welfare divisions. Before organized effort for such divisions was carried on as a part of the children's year campaign only eight states had such divisions.
 The state of New Jersey has appro- priated s150,00o a year for it's child hygiene division. This is the largest budget so far adopted by any state but some bureaus with only meagre appropriations. through the co-opera- tion of medical, public health and so- cial welfare organizations, have been able to carry out far-reaching plans of health work.
 The federal childrens bureau acts in an advisory capacity to these state organizations, and has rendered direct assistance in the development and ad-

POLICE CLAIM MAN
 ARRESTED SATURDAY
 |S CHECK ARTIST''

With the arrest of John OBora, alias Walter Makoruski alias Ray Richards, Saturday night police claim they have in custody a check artist" who has been obtaining money by means of worthless paper throughout the United States. At the time of his arrest O'Bora had in his pockets signed and blank checks from banks in Illinois Oklahoma, Michigan and local banks, according to officers.
 Policeman Blake arrested O'Bora in the smoking compartment of a train shortly before it left the station Satur- day night. Suspicion concerning O'Bora was aroused when he cashed a check for S75 in a local cafe. The proprietor of the restaurant called the hotel where O'Bora said he was stopping, and as- certained that he was registered there under a name different from that signed to the check. The clerk of the hotel then told O'Bora that the restau- rant man wanted to see him. O'Bora immediately took his baggage and hur- ried to the depot, where he bought a ticket for Fl Paso. He is alleged to have offered Officer Blake all the money on his person if permitted to gc free
 Tn addition to the checks, O'Bora was Iound to pc carrying loCSe recelpts which the police believe have beer forged. He also had a badge of the Kalamazoo. Mich, police department 1T his possession and represented that ht was a former member of the force O that city.

ministration of their work. Having contact with all the state divisions, it has been in a position to pass along all the new and effective methods adopted by any of the bureaus.
 To assist private organizations en- gagged in child welfare work, the chil- dren's bureau has begun a series of practical bulletins on office adminis- tration, records, publicity and other problems of private organizations. A large part of the field of child hygiene is covered by these private organiza tions and increased efficiency will mean greater service to the children of the country, as well as a saving ot effort and money on the part of the public which supports this field Of work.
