WILL KEEP
BOYS WARM
Business M e n Buy
Blankets For Foot
Ball TEAM
SIXTEEN SIGN UP
Roy Gardner Circulated Paper and
Raised Sufficient Money to Buy a
Blanket for Each Player.

That Liberal business men are GO
ing to back the. foot ball team strong
ly this year is evidenced by the fact
that in very short time Roy Gard
ner was able to locate sixteen firms
which were willing to each buy a
blanket for the members of the team.
The blankets will be of the best
quality. Thy will b I'd with ataoin
quality. They will be red with a
black boarder and large black
"L", and when the fellows come upon
the field wrapped in these blankets
they are going to make a keen sight.
The team this year will be equal
to any that has ever represented L.
H. S. and that is saying whole lot.
While the graduation exercises rob-
bed US of some of our best and
strongest men, we still have several
last years letter men and they will
come up stronger than ever this
season. Those who played last year
and are still on the team are: Nova
Dickerson, who will be captain of
the team this year, Willard Harnder,
Frank Mann, Odell Mahoney, Ralph
Bane, Valley Heaton, Ross Pile and
Alva Cain.
Every one of these fellows made
a name for himself in last years
games and there is not a weak play
er in the bunch.
Then there are several first class
players who did not win letters last
year by reason of not playing in
enough games, but who were eligible
to the honor. These are: Earl
Schneider, Clay Miller, Chalmers
Moore. Ralph Boles, and Chester
Boles.
Fans will remember some of the
sensational playing of these fellows
last year and recognize the bunch as
good material.
Practicing will be started the first
of the week and every fellow will be
in the scrimmage except Harnded
who is recovering from a hospital ex
perience, and is not yet we'll enough
to take part in the hard practice the
team expects to undergo.
And at this time the Democrat
wishes to ask the boys the same loyal
support which was given last years
team, and we want to ask that it
start with the first game. There was
a lot of pep in the fans last year
but it did not start as promptly as it
might have. This season the first
game should be made a holiday in
Liberal and everyone get on the side
lines and root for L. H. S.
We have made the suggestion that
pep" meeting be held before the
first game and the public take part
as we'll as the high school, This
could be staged on Kansas avenue
some evening and everybody could
take part.

are:

Martin, Chas. Taylor, o. j. Wilkins,
Smith Bros. Photoplay, Palace
Clothing Co., Sanford Hotel, Daily
Democrat, Riney & Newly, Chas.

Reds in TT. Wayne Stockade
Reject Food and Heat.

DETROIT, March 10.--Detroit reds in
generated at Fit Wayne have been on a
hunger strike for two days, 1t became
known today. More than 200 radicals
are involved, it was said.
The action Of the reds came Monday
after federal officials had frightened the
regulations governing visitors to the
prisoners. The escape of five men from
the stockade In the past few weeks was
believed due to work of visitors
The strikers also refused to stoke the
boilers which heat their quarters.
The strikers will be allowed to medi-
tate in cold hunger If that is the way
they feel about it, P. L. Prentis, chief
immigration officer, said.

Farm land values in Indiana have in
creased s25 an acre over last year. &C
cording to a report issued today by
George C. Bryant Of the United States
department Of agriculture legislative
reference bureau in the statehouse.
The value Of Indiana land today over
the 1917 value is SAT an acre. The average
value Of farm land for the state is $145
an acre for improved land, $113 for land
without improvements $50 for poor pillow
lands and $50 for good pillow lands.
The average value throughout the United
States is 1924 for improved land and
S7441 for unimproTed land.
GROWING WHEAT
NOT ENCOURAGING.
The condition Of the growing wheat
crop IN Indiana Is not very encouraging
the report says, and is causing many
farmers to hold their old wheat.
The reserve Of corn on Indiana farms
on March 1 was more than 100000
bushels greater than last year, and
wheat reserve was more than 1,OOOOOO
bushels greater, according to the report
Of Mr.. Bryant's bureau, issued today.
The total for oats, however, shows de-
els, as compared with last year, and bar
ley shows a decrease Of about 100000
bushels, although the percentage of all
grains shipped out Of the counties where
grown in considerably less than the ten
year average.
CORN RESERVES

and amount to 667s5, 900 bushels com

says. THE quantity to be or that has
been shipped out Of the counties where
grown amounts to only II per cent Of
the total production, which is Il per
cent below the ten-year average Prin-
cipaI among the reasons for this low
per cent Of shipments is car shortage
and local sales to farmers. The crop
was one Of the best ever produced, and
notwithstanding the severe damage done
by foods in the early fall, in the bottom
lands Of the south part Of the state,
the quality is considerably above the

(HilO POst-Herald)


AS long as the Territory of Hawai-.
is a portion of the United States it is
foolishness to talk of the introduction
of Chinese labor. AS long as the terri
tory makes any claim to Americanism
it is impossible to consider abrogating
the immigration laws, or any part of
them, for the pleasure or profit of this
group. The suggestion to do so is
nothing o or less than a scheme
to seek personal profit at the expense
Of the country as a whole, and it is
well for the proponent of such an idea
that he has not publicly fathered il.
Be it clearly understood, to the
Chinese the Post-Herald has no OBJ
j%ections. Experience in Hawaii has
proved them to be altogether the most
desirable of the aliens to come here
in large numbers. They have been
here long enough to have been assimi-
lated, and in the process have lent to
the Hawaiians certain elements of
shrewdness and thrift which was not
inherent. The Chinese have proved
good citizens in the past. If others
came there is no reason to believe
they would not prove equally accept
able.
But for reasons which it deemed
ample and sufficient, the United States
has placed a ban on Oriental immigra-
ton. If the reasons behind that ac-
ton were good, it were better that the
Hawaiian sugar industry should perish
from the face of the earth than that
those laws which affect us in common
with, and thereby unite us to the rest
of the nation should be ~abrogated for
u benefit. If the reasons are not
sound, let Hawaii welcome Chinese
coolie labor only when the same men
may gain admission to the continental
United States.
One just cause of complaint on the
part of this territory in the past has
been that Hawaii has not been treated
on a parity with the state in Federal
benefits, although w have borne our
share of the burdens. Throughout, our
stand has been one of high and com
mendable patriotism. We cannot now
seriously urge abrogation of a law
which congress has believed to be the
chief bulwark of the Caucasian, in
order to increase somewhat the dollars
we shall earn yearly.

Editor, Maui News:
What Modern Education Aims At
Honolulu, January %, 1920.
Dear Sir: | wish to thank you most
heartily for the two splendid editori
ais in the Maui News of January 23rd
With reference to DR.. Curtis pro.
gram, he represents the whole field of
physical education and sound bodily
development. In other words. we are
thinking of the Fairgrounds not in
the of mere sports or pastimes
but in the sense of a thoroughly or
ganized program for the DEVELOPMENT
of strong, stalwart bodies. The recent
war attracted universal attention to
Americas crying need of physical edu-
cation. Heretofore public attention
has been fixed upon a few star
athletes and a few winning football
teams. The great rank and file of
school children have been woefully
neglected. Your editorial hit the nail
on the head.
The idea promulgated in the Portu-
guese paper "a Setta' that the public
schools were to become subservient
to the plantations is grotesque and
absurd. The dominant spirit in
modern education is that every boy,
rich or poor, should be trained to
earn a decent livelihood. What we
are striving to do is not to develop
n scheme of education for "peasa-
ants" and another scheme for the
"aristocracy" but to develop a program
that will make every boy who leaves
the school a useful citizen, capable of
paying his own way and capable of
participating intelligently in all of his
community responsibilities. The out
standing criticism against many priv
ate and so-called finishing schools
is that they have lacked the spirit OF
American democracy and the spirit OF
civic usefulness. Genuine education
is connected every intimately and
vitality with the life interests of the
local community. !
Thanking you again for your article,
Very truly yours,
VAUGHAN MacCAUGHEY,
Superintendent.

Americanization of this country is the
breaking up of the large holdings into
small hOmesteads owned and operated
by citizens. There is no one thing in
the world more directly inimical to
such a scheme as the Importation of
large bodies of coolie laborers,
whether from China or elsewhere.
To have any bona fde citizen of
Hawaii seriously urge such a doctrine
as a%brogation of the immigration laws,
insofar as they affect this country is
a matter of deep regret. To have such
an one receive real support, would be
an indelible stigma. But that Hawaii
should in fact ask such action of con-
gress or that congress would accede
should she do so, is quite incredible.

mount-Arcraft photoplay, "The Mis-

a thing to do with the war. On the
contrary, it is as delightful a screer
romance as has ever captivated an
audience. Miss Burke is the charm

cept an old maid, who wonders what
has been keeping Mr.. Taradine away
all these years, and several butchers

To hush up the insistent demands

her husband, who left her many years

easily and shows up in the person of

THEATERS
"A Society Exile"

OSS'SAJ 1NiC
One of the most striking scenes in
"A Society Exile the latest Aircraft
photoplay starring Elsie Ferguson
portrays a portion of the Grand Canal
in Venice and is a faithful and beauti
full reproduction.
"a Society Exile" is one of the best
vehicles the talented stage and screen
star has yet had. 1t tells the story
of an American heiress who has writ
ten a successful novel and is taken by
an aspiring aunt to England, where
h is ~unjustly accused by a jealous
wife of alternating the affections of
her husband.
Driven from England by the scorn
OF society, Nora Shard, played by Miss
Ferguson, takes up residence under an
assumed name in Venice, where mat.
tiers finally adjust themselves happily.
The picture is from the celebrated
stage play, eve Can't Be AS Bad As
All That" written by Henry Arthur
Jones, the famous British playwright.
Married in Haste"
William Fox has added to his force
two more clever motion picture artists.
They are Albert Ray-whom he is
starring-and Elinor Fair.
Married in Haste" is said to be a
fast, snappy comedy drama. 1t deals
with a young spendthrift who is fore
ed to make good in business because
of the scheming of his young wife to
keep his w money away from him
until he has done so. He does make
good finally; but the road hat he and
his bride travel meanwhile is beset
by many obstacles-most of them
~laughable. In their poverty they are
mistaken for crooks; but his wife, al
ways with her eye on the main chance,
helps hubby into a position in which
he does something beside spending
money.
"The Misleading Widow"
A colonel and a captain figure prom
