FARMERS WILL
NOT FINANCE RAILROAD
Some of Them Aided But Liberal
Must Finish if Road Is
Builded.

The campaign among the farmers
of Oklahoma to subscribe for stock
in the Kansas & Oklahoma railroad
from Forgan to Liberal closes this
week, and from all indications the
amount required by the railroad to
insure it's starting to build will be
about $35,OO0.OO short.
There has been a thoro campaign
in the Oklahoma county for some
time on this railroad project and it
has been discovered that the farm
ers and landowners who are to be
benefited if the road is builded, are
not supporting it as they should any
legitimate enterprise.
The road promoters have estimated
it will require at least $100,000.00 to
build the road from Forgan to Liber-
al, and thru the efforts of the Liberal
business men and the prominent
farmers of the country thru which
the road is to be builded, many of the
farmers and landowners have been
persuaded to take stock and today
the quota is short about 100000,
which represents the obstacle con-
fronting the people who are anxious
for the road to start construction
work.
And now comes the time when
there must be definite action. The
idea of getting more assistance from
the farmers of Oklahoma, those re-
siding in the district to be benefited
must be abandoned. There is no fur
ther time and if there was the work
ers who have been laboring on the
project cannot be induced to con-
tinue the task. There are as yet
several people in the benefit district
who should buy stock, but they in
sist on giving reasons, of various
kinds, instead of money or securities
for stock.
Therefore the situation is simply
this: If Liberal is to have railroad
from Forgan and connection to the
Gulf, it is up to Liberal to make the
proposition go.
Another thought-can Liberal af
ford to let the project fail when the
purchase of say $35,OOO.OO worth OF
stock will start and complete the rail
road to Liberal?
Since the bonds in sufficient
amount to build the road to the state
line have been voted and are ready
for delivery the moment the road
has done its part of the contract,
there is no doubt regarding the rail
road being extended to the state
line as fast as the graders can lay
the foundation and the track depart
ment can place the steel.
Let us have that railroad aperat-
ing both ways out of Liberal this
year-1920 Let us keep up the
lick of progress. The outside world
has an eye on Liberal. Have you?

LIGHT MILLING COMPANY
INCREASES CAPACITY
Will Install Larger Engine and 9th
or Equipment to Materially
Increase Output.

C. M. Light of the Light Grain &
Milling Company announces the pur-
chase of a new engine of greater
horsepower than the one now in use
and other machinery to increase the
capacity of the mill.
The new engine is Busch-Sulzer
180 horse power. The order has
been placed and it is expected to
have it installed by the first of June.
The other machinery will be placed
between now and that date and ev-
erything will be in readiness by the
rtime the new wheat crop is market
fed,
The flour capacity will be increased
100 barrels per day making a total
capacity of $50 barrels of flour, and
IT'S barrels of meal.
The fame of Lights Best flour is
spreading far and wide, and
the largest baking companies in Kan
sas and Colorado are using it with
excellent results. 1t has stood not
only the most rigid chemical tests
but the test of time and usage and
has made good in every way.
Right here at home the -four is
being extensively used. In most
places people think they can get bet
ter flour by buying that made out of
town. While this is a fsllacy it ia
the general rule, but not so with Lib
eral flour for the greater per cent of
-four used here is the -four made
here.
This is pleasing to the manage
ment of the mill as we'll as the boost
ers of the town. There is no reason
why just as good if not better flour
can be made here as anywhere. We
have the best wheat in the world,
and it is simply matter of equip
ment and millers as to the quality of
the product. Mr.. Light did not buy
with the idea of getting something
cheap, but put in the newest and
best clear thru the institution, and
'NTi9uA he employed the men to rus
%S plant he picked men who he knew
not only could but would turn out q
really superior product.
That he used good judgment is at.
tested by the letters received from
users in other states, voluntary rec
concentrations of Lights Best, which
praise the quality. in the most glow
ing terms. However the best indi-
cation of satisfaction is the fact that
the capacity of the mill must be in
creased to take care of the growing
business.
Liberal is proud of her mill and
the people here will be just as glad
to boost it as those of Colorado
and other states.

CITY WILL NOT HAVE TO
PAY TOWNSHIP BONDS

Answering many questions regard
ing the bonds voted in the City of
Liberal for the Kansas & Oklahoma
railroad: The city has voted $780,
900. This amount is the total that
the taxpayers of the city will have to
pay on bonds for the railroad. The
idea that the bonds of the township
would become a burden of the city
also is wrong.

Present indications are good for
the building of the Liberal-Forgan
railroad. The building of this road
will boost both farm and city prop
erty prices and those who are figur-
ing on buying property had better
get their deals closed before the
contracts are all signed.

SERBIAN TAMBUR|CA

NEXT NUMBER ON HIGH SCHOOL
LYCEUM UNUSUALLY
ATTRACTIVE.

The Serbian Tamburica Orchestra,
the next number on the Olympia High
School Lyceum course. will appear
in the high school auditorium, Tues
day evening, February gath, at Sis
O'Clock pm.
Notable successes in Serbia and in
Paris were achieved by this orchestra
before its members were prevailed
upon to tour America. Since they
first came to the New World these
young Serbians have everywhere been
met with enthusiastic receptions, and
their concerts have been acclaimed as
musical features of rare beauty, I'M
usual interest and wide diversity.
Their unusually strong impression
on American audiences has resulted
largely from the ability of the young
Slavs to adapt themselves and their
peculiar instruments to American mu-
sic; the growing popularity of the
Tamburica among string instruments
because of the volume and beauty of
it's tone, and the exemplification of
Serbian music and costumes at time
when the interest and sympathy of
the world is conferred on the little
Balkan nation.
The members of the orhcestra APP

introduce American audiences to the
fighting songs and ballads of the lit

with equal beauty and freedom our
own patriotic and popular airs.
Three attractions in addition to the
Serbian Orchestra will complete the
lyceum courses presented by the High
School this year.

PROFESSOR thinks
EDITORS SHOULD
PAY FOR Poem S
(By Associated Negro Press.)


Chicago, March 24-In a specially
prepared statement for the Associat-
ed Negro Press, Prof Robert T. Ker-
lin, of the Department of English in
the Virginia Military Institute, Lex
nigton, Va, makes very pertinent
comment with reference to the high
appreciation of the poets in our
group. 81 have never assumed the
role of adviser or preacher to the
Colored people of America" says
Prof. Kerlin, "but 1 am impelled to
make an exception for once-in a
worthy cause. Are you as race
supporting your poets? You are get
ting together manfully in business, in
politics, in labor, in education, in
charitable and religious works. Ra-
cial consciousness is strongly assert
ing itself throughout the whole do
main of your life with this one ex-
ception. You do not-like many other
races-value your poets at theirI
worth. You are willing to let them
furnish you the very bread of life
while you permit them to suffer for
the mere bread of existence. Is this
right? Is it wise?
Your poets are your prophets. To
day they have a flaming message.
They are embodying your ideals, your
potests, in song. The lyrical cry is
theirs-your cry. Theirs the articu-
lation of it. Now no cause is greatly
effective until the poets champion it.
The poets have winged words, they
pierce the hearts and consciences of
men. They burn their way into our
inmost thoughts. Poets are more to
be dreaded by the forces of evil and
injustice and oppression than politi-
clans, yea, even than preachers; for
the true poet is, l repeat, a prophet,
a messenger of God
"You have a dozen very able young
song-makers whose poems your news
papers get l understand, without
cost.
How are ye better than the gen
tiles if ye thus rob your poets? Sup
port them, l say. They are a su-
preme honor to you as people, and
not only that, they are your ablest
spokesmen, your heaven-sent serv-
ants. Give them for their service at
least the means of subsistence. Buy
their heavenly ware with your miser-
able filthy lucre."

PROGRESS AND UNIONS

Labor unionism has been one of the
Races red flags" We have ever
been acutely alive to the Uniairness
of organized labor toward us and ever
alert to antagonize and retaliate in
the greater number of instances where
labor has clashed with the forces of
capital.
1t is true that organized labor is
in large measure clearly responsible
for this unhappy condition. Organ
lied labor has been unfair to the
Race. There are signs, however,
which point to a growing disposition
to recognize that the unions have
been the greater sufferers through
their insisteuce to exclude our Race
from membership and the councils of
their organizations.
There has been a gradual letting
down of the bars. The results have
been beneficial to all concerned. Con-
tact has brought broader under
standing to both elements and each
begins to see the industrial and social
value of the other More than that,
each is beginning to realize how in
dispensable they are one to the other.
There need be no technical discus
sion of the economic aspects of the
questions. The larger matters of So
cial and economic relations are more
often decided by heart impulses. This
is because mind belongs to the few,
heart to the many.
These facts do not take away, in
any particular, the fine though COM
parative value of what many are
pleased to term the scientific as
poets" of social and economic rela-
tions.
We are simply calling attention to
what we believe to be fundamental in
determining what are the factors that
will bring to issue harmonious rela-
tions between hitherto hostile groups
of labor forces
We heartily believe healthy social
! progress will come to the Race and
the country in general when all CON
cerned come to see the true relations
which should be maintained by all the
elements of labor.-Ex.

Brooklyn. n Y, March 24.-Frank
Kelly. awaiting execution at Sing
Sing for the murder OF Catherine
Dunn, in Flatbush, on December 20.
and selfconfessed slayer of Emma
Mcdonald some months earlier. is
known in the West as Bus Cain. a
murderer and fugitive from justice.
Cain. it is learned. fourteen years ago
at Springfield. Mo, escaped from the
clutches of mob that burned three
other Negroes at the stake. Since
the lynching bee in Missouri the wan
derings of Cain, or Kelly, have taken
him over both americas, North and
South. The news that he had been
sent to the death house in this state
has just been received at Springfield.
To the majority of those who remem-
bered his earlier crimes he had long
been considered dead
To the good people of Springfield
he had passed. to an unknown beyond.
When news that Frank Kelly was ar
rested on December 29th for the mur-
der of Catherine Dunn in the home of
her Flattush employer, Clarence S.
Clark, was flashed throughout the
country, the residents did not suppose
that he was rus Cain. Nor were their
suspicious aroused when, during the
trial, he placidly revealed how he had
shot to death some months before
Emma Mcdonald, the B. R. T. ticket
agent. whose body was found in
sand pit near Carnasie. The truth
did not become known until few
days ago, when Kelly, imbued with
the desperation of convicted Grim
inal, asked Springfield relatives for
aid in securing an appeal of his case.
