The Liberal Typewriter Exchange

contract the first of the week to

ARE NOW PAVING ON
NORTH KANSAS AVE.
Block Between Fifth and Sixth is
Being Constructed
This Week
ARE ALSO WORKING ON WASHINGTON

Workmen started Tuesday on the
the work Of paving the block between
fifth and sixth on North Kansas av-
enue.
This block was not paved when the
balance of the street was finished
owing to the necessity of putting in
the Can creek drainage, and by the
time this work was furnished the wea-
ther was cold and it was unsafe to
start the work.
The work of paving North Wash
ington is well under way and will be
finished and the street opened to
traffic within the next few days.
The Stanton Construction Com
pany, which is doing the work, has a
big force of men and are making
good time with the work under way.
They have done some mighty nice
work in Liberal and there is little
doubt but what the council did we'll
in giving them the contracts for the
Liberal paving.
II is likely that when the present
paving is finished no new contracts
will be started until the oil well
comes in and then Liberal will be
paved to the limits in every direc-
ton, for nothing creates such de-
mnnd for improvements as an oil
boom.

BURNS AND GUTHRIE
WILL WRESTLE SAT.
AUeaI Championship Bout ToDeStaged
At The ArmOry Saturday
Evening
NEW PRICES FOR THIS MEET

The evening for the wrestling
matches has been changed for the
present from Wednesday to Satur-
day night.
The bout this week is between
Frank Burns and Elmer Guthrie.
and will be championship affair of
more than ordinary interest.
A letter to the Democrat from
Burns gives the information that he
has fourteen matches and has sue
ceeded in throwing his opponents
and that he was never in better shape
than now He says between matches
he has been climbing mountains and
lis is partially responsible for his
perfect physical condition.
Guthrie has been working regular
ly and will come to Liberal in the
pink of condition for the match.
Burns is known all over the coun-
try as a clever man, and the only rea-
son the match. could be arranged
here was due to the fact that he was
passing through Liberal, and it would
not disarrange his schedule.
Messrs. Freeman and Parks have
made new price schedule and have
a new seating capacity, which should
appeal to the fans. A row of COM
Portable chairs have been placed on
the four sides. of the mat. These are
known as "ring-side" seats and can
be reserved at $1.50 each. All other
seats in the house according to the
former arrangement are $1.00 while
a section has been set aside for ladies
and children at 80 cents. Gentlemen
who accompany a lady may sit in the
section but his ticket will cost him
$1.00. This arrangement is made to
encourage the ladies and children to
attend the matches. a3H -
The last match was not great fl
nancial success, and Messrs. Freeman
and Parks lost considerable on the
match which failed to materialize,
and they have gone to much expense
to bring this good bout to Liberal in
the hope that there would be enough
interest taken to allow them to get
ut even.
The match will start at 8 o'clock
so be on hand early and get a seat
close to the scene of action, for the
promoters promise there will be ac-
tion enough to satisfy all.

Up Fine Showing Against the

Johnny Irwin's Boy Scout basket
ball team came within one point of
winning the basket ball game Thurs
day night with the scout team from

The first half showed Hugoton in
the lead, but in the last half the Lib
eral scouts picked up and when the
final whistle blew were going good
with one point behind.
The Hugoton scouts were larger
and older than most of the Liberal
boys, but the smaller lads were fast
on their feet and gave them rea
battle.
The crowd was much smaller thar
it should have been but there was {
lot of enthusiasm and the boys made

State Of New York, in which office he
served two terms Mr. Whitman first
attracted attention, after his gradua-
ton from Amherst College in 1890 and
from the New York University Law
School in 1894, by his record in the
office OF the corporation counsel of
New York City. The ability he showed
there led to his being made q city
magistrate, and from that he rose to
"a higher judicial post, the court Of
general sessions. It was his later ser
vice as district attorney, however, that
first gave him national prominence
that led to his being named for the
Igoyernorship in 1915. He fought or.
ganized crime in the metropolis as It
had never been fought in this genera
ton by any prosecuting attorney. BY
his professional ability and his civic
courage, he became a national figure.

Where Ice Makes Crops.

We are accustomed to think of
Alaska as moist part Of the world,
but except in the southern portion il
is rather arid. having rainfall in
sufficient for the production of crops.
When an area IS first cleared for
planting the soll is moist enough, be-
ing frozen nearly to the surface the
year around. Then the ice in the
ground gradually melts, so that the
first few crops require only slight
rainfall--the melting Of the ice furn-
ishing sufficient moisture to the roots
Of the growing plants
In the course Of 4 few years, how
ever. the ice recedes TO a depth Of six
or more feet, and this reservoir OF
moisture IS no longer available for the
crops. 1t then becomes necessary TO
resort to various eypedientS. such as
"mulching," fer hlndering evaporation
and economlzing the available water.
