MORE OIL TESTS PROBABLE

Reports which have come from
ontside indicate that the matter of
oil test wells in this county is only
in its first stages, that before another
year passes, there will be five or six
wells down Outside oil people and
geologists, who are generally against
wildcat territory, seem to believe
firmly that this county is worth CIV
ing complete test, with not less than
a dozen wells.
Work along this line is being done
at Cunningham by the men who put
down that test, and another project
is in the making in the southwest
quarter of the county for the drilling
of two wells simultaneously be-
ing apparently easier to get oil com
pany help for two than for just one.
Probably within six months no less
than four wells will be in progress.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Promise of

of Americas war debt to future gen.
erations was made today by Con-
gressman Mondell, Republican lead
er of the House. He outlined the Re-
publican financial plans as follows

ton of the heavy surtaxes an in
comes funding part of the present
floating loan refunding of Victory
loan, drastic restriction of govern
ment expenses and re-inactment of
rotective tariff duties.
Mondel's plan for making future
generations pay is under refunding

THE LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE

The movement looking to the es-
tablishment of a law and order
league is step in the right direction.
Liberal needs such an organization
just as every town needs it; such an
organization could work every day
in the year and accomplish lot Of
good. The Democrat is "for" the
league
But, we want to make a suggestion
which may, not seem timely at first,
thought, but we ask you to think it
over. 1t may sound trifle blunt, but
it is said in a spirit of helpfulness.
This suggestion is that no man who
does not intend to obey all existing
laws himself should take membership
Does sound rough-but here-the
fellow who drives through the streets
with his muffleR, wide open in diff
ance of an existing law is a law
DIedhST. ne UItdho JHe law DcCouoV
it does not meet his requirements. It
doesn't amount to anything; Just the
ler-there shouldn't be any anti-gam-
same claim as is made by the gamb-
bling law
Also the fellow who exceeds the
speed limit on the city streets should
stay outside; well as. the fellow
who matches pennies; or in any way
violates the laws because he is not in
sympathy with law enfocement only
as it affects someone who does some
thing of which he does not approve.
To be a thoroughly successful or
ganization the membership must be
maan-up of men who honestly and
sincerely want law enforcement and
practice it themselves.
There are some mighty good men
at the head of the movement and if
they can get bunch behind them
who really wish to raise the moral
standard Of the city they can accom-
plish much. And this should be easily
possible.

Local Merchants Showing Great Lines
For the Holiday Season
This Year.
ALL ROADS, LEAD TO LIBERAL
In Every Line Can Be Found At
tractive Gift Articles No Matter
in Which Direction Your Fancy
Runs, Substantial Gifts or Luxur-
ious Are Here in Abundance

This week The Democrat reaches a
lot of people who are not regular
readers as well as host who receive
its visits each week. Those who have
been reading it for some time know
that Liberal is good place to trade
because of the advertisements of the
merchants of the city and they do
not ned to be told of the especial eff
fort being made by the live-wire
firms of the city to give real service.
However, for the benefit of those
who have not made a practice of
coming to Liberal to do their shop
ping, we want to call attention of
the great stock of holiday goods now
on display in Liberal. Every line is
full and cmplete with the latest and
newest on the market, and the sup
puly is adequate that all may be sup
piled.
We are going to ask that you read
every ad in this issue, and then come
to Liberal for your holiday goods.
And we might add that there are sew
eral good firms not represented in
thes colums because we did not have
time to get their ads into type in
time. We are running short-handed
and it was impossible to accommo-
date all who wished to advertise.
Read the ads then come to Liber-
al and spend a day shopping. 1t will
be pleasure to buy from such stocks
as you will find.

SOME GOOD MEN ELECTED OFFICERS
Meeting Was Held at M. E. Annex
\ And L. v. Gardner Was Elected
President. Chas. Molter Is Seere-
tary and W. B, King, Assistant
Seiretary

Last night at the M. E. Annex a
meeting was held for the purpose Of
organizing a law and order league
to put on a law-enforcement program
in Liberal.
Sentiment being strong for such
an organization, it. was launched
forth with L V. Gardner, President;
and W. B. King, assistant secretary.
Chas. Molter, Secretsry-treasurer;
The purpose of the organization
as gathered from the talks made by
various citizens is to assist the Of
ficers in enforcing the laws of the
city, county and state, and assist
them in getting prosecutions.
The need for this organization
has for some time been apparent
There has been more or less disre-
gard for our laws, and that this is
ture is just as much the fault of Mr..
Plain Everyday Citizen as it is the
officers of the law.
With such an organization at his
back the officer would feel like try
ing to do his duty, where he would
hesitate should he have to go it
alone.
Another meeting of the organiza-
ton will be held at the same place
Sunday afternoon at 8 o'clock al
Sch time the committee on by
laws composed of E D. Cooper j. c
Brown and C. D. Gasaway will make
its report.
Every citizen interested in seeing
Liberal cleaner town morally
should attend this meeting and take
part.

by the ringing of gong which had
been started by some patron Of the
office calling for central. The bur-
glar had gained entrance to the CEN

Craig who was sleeping on cot near
the door of the operating room. The
man proceeded to her bed with a
piece of wire taken from a phone set
nd tied the young lady's hands be-
hind her back. He then proceeded to
he office room where the safe stands
but before he had opened the safe
some patron rang for central and
this started the gong to ringing which
frightened him away. Miss Craig then
plugged in for Manager Wright's
room at the Windsor and told him
of the burglar. Manager Wright hur-
ried down the street but the intruder
was nowhere to be seen.
There was considerable money in
the safe at the office Saturday
