KANSAS SETS FARM RECORD

Kansas farmers would have more
money left If they sold their farms
and paid off the debts than the far.
mers Of any other state in the union,
]. C. Mohler, secretary of the state
board Of agriculture, said today, af-
ter comparison of figures.
Nearly one-half. of the farmer
owned farms in Kansas are under
mortgage, Mr.. Mohler said. The
average sale value of the mortgaged
farms is $15,766, and the average
debt is $4,O83, making 25.9 per
cent indebtedness. The average value
of mortgaged farms on the United
States is 1886, and the averaged
debt per mortgaged farm is $3,361.
$50 the Kansas farmers equity is
$685." said Mr.. Mohler, "while the
average equity of all mortgaged
farms in the United States is only
$s175"

SISTER OF LIBERAL MAN
KILLED BY A TRAIN
}. D. Hill and Wife Called to Ell.
dorado by Death of Gentleman's
Sister, Mrs. Eliza Teter

Mrs. Eliza Teter and Mrs. j. H.
Armstrong met death when the car
in which they were driving was struck
by train near DeGraff, Kansas, and
A. j. Weimer was seriously injured.
Arriving at a Santa Fe grade cross
ing, they found the track blocked by
a freight train. Another car arrived
shortly after and the driver asked a
brakeman if he could cut the train
an let them pass. The train was
cut and as Mr.. Weimer drove be-
tween the cars the car he was driv-
ing was struck by passenger train
and thrown twenty-five feet in the
air, rolling over three times. The
ladies were thrown out, Mrs. Teter
being found within five feet of the
car, and Mrs. Armstrong having been
buried under the wreckage.
Mrs. Teter was still alive when
picked up, but died on the way to
the hospital at Eldorao. She is
sister of J. D. Hill of this city, who,
with his. wife, went to Eldorado in
answer to a wire telling of the ac-
cident.
Mrs. Teter was widow, her hus-
band being one of the pioneers of
Butler county, and was somewhat
wealthy. She was a member of the
Baptist church, an enthusiastic work
er, and consistent Christian woman
who numbere her friends by the
score.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hill have the SYM
pathy of their large circle of friends
and acquaintances.

.H|NGEY AND DAVIS
FOUGHT TO A DRAW
First Boxing Event of
Liberal Athletic Assn
a Real Treat

Johnny Hingey of Hutchinson, and
Fighting Jack Davis, formerly of
Denver, but now making headquar-
ters in Liberal, fought ten rounds
to draw before the members Of
the Liberal Athletic Association last
Friday evening.
Preceding the Hingey-Davis bout
two four-round bouts were fought,
both of which were very interest
ing and elected generous amount
of applause.
The first was between young Ed
wards of Liberal, and lad from
San Francisco, who hoped to it from
real style, and Edwards showed up
we'll against the boy from Frisco.
The second bout was between
Clyde Hubbard and McDaniels. Both
showed more than ordinary ability
as boxers, although Clyde was ap-
parently the faster of the two.
After these Davis and Hingey
were introduced, and their gloves
tied on by the seconds and the big
bout was on. For the first two or
three rounds each bixed warily, feel
ing their ground, but soon opened
up and gave the fans some thrills.
While to many it appeared that
Hingey was the most aggressive,
this is not the general opinion. Hin
gey fought under cover and while
Davis did considerable side-stepping
to lead him into the open, he met
with little success. Hingey assumed
crouching attitude throughout the
bout and only when he could get
Davis into corner where he could
not get swing, did he try to do
much real fighting.
During the early rounds Davis
inflicted considerable punishment
which Hingey seemed well able to
stand, but it was apparent that had
the bout gone to Knockout, Davis
would have been the winner, for, as
the gong signalled the end of the
tenth, he had Hingey in a corner
and was delivering telling blows.
A good crowd attended the bout,
an unusually large number of ladies
being present. This is pleasing as
it is desired that the ladies attend
these bouts, and it is promised that
nothing will be said or done to Of
fend them at any time.
Manager Pollock has some other
good men on the string and prom
ises other good matches, and if the
attendance is as good as at the Fri
day night bout, he can bring in
Some first-class men to entertain
the local fans.

THE SMILE ROUTE

Minor officials often betray Their
rank by their own sense of impor.
tance. Put fool in uniform and
you'll get his real measure. The
lions skin never yet concealed the
--sss's bray. 4. q
Whenever, you encounter a loud,
domineering executive you've met
newcomer who'll likely not be an
old-timer in office. Those who hold
authority would not continue in
power except they had learned the
value of good will. Not that gra-
ciousness is an equivalent of ability,
but very able folk must early real
ize that there, is no substitute for
graciousness.
Kindliness is distinct form of
effciency-it enables one to get
along so much more easily. Every
body likes to deal with considerate
man-and, all things being equal,
give him the preference.
Whatever the goal, the smile
route is miles shorter.
Herbert Kaufman.

SOME REAL LEMONS

E. c. Pile brought the Democrat
"a couple of lemons the first of the
week, which were wonders. They
were easily twice the size of the or
dinary lemon, and were sent to him
by his sister, Mrs. W. A. Rugg of
Lemon Grove, Calf. The Riggs left
here eighteen years ago, locating at
Los Angeles, going from there to
their present location few months
ago. They at one time owned a
ranch on the Cimarron, which was
sold to Jim Bolin and Court Brown.
They like California very much and
expect to spend their lives there.

GOULD JAY AGAIN
IN HANDS OFFICERS
Man Who Escaped Our
Sheriff, Re-captured
by *. C. Police

-. "We have several charges against
Gould Jay; if our charges fail, will
hold him for you'll. B. Watson
Chief of Detectives"
This message was received by
Sheriff W O Nelson from police head
quarters in Kansas City, and relates
to the man who made his escape
from Sheriff Nelson, who was taking
him to the penintentiary on a for
gerry charge.
While paying his hotel bill in
Kansas City, the man disappeared,
and being thoroughly acquainted
with the city, easily eluded the
sheriff. The police were notified,
and informed Mr.. Nelson that Jay
was one of the shrewdest criminals
with whom they had ever dealt. This
has been several months ago, and the
fact that he has just been appre-
hended, proves his wariness.
Sheriff Nelson will go to Kansas
City tonight after his man, and this
time will not take any chances of
his getting away.

WILL get BEHIND"
THE GIRL SCOUTS
Organization Will Put
Them on Same Plane
as Boy Scouts

About year ago an organization
was perfected to back the Boy
Scouts and Campfire Girls in Liberal
Through their efforts the Boy Scouts
were brought to the point where 9
Council was organized. making the
help of the association unnecessary.
However, the Campfire Girls were
never organized. A troop of Girl
Scouts was formed, and about this
time the movement for the Camp
fire Girls was started and number
of girls signed up for membership.
Feeling that there was not room for
both in Liberal the ladies interested
in the latter very graciously con-
sented to lead their girls in the
Scout organization and at the meet
ing last night the name of the
booster organization was changed,
new officers elected, all of whom
were ladies, and the work of organ
izing the Girl Scouts similar to the
Boy Scouts, started.
The following officers were elect
ed:
President-Mrs. M. H. Scandrett.
e-Pres.--Mrs. Bert Long.
Secretary-Emma Thompson.
Treasurer-Mrs. c. d. Gasaway.
These officers, together with Mrs,
]. F. Emrie, Mrs. Osa Nichols, Mrs.
G. w. Sawyer, Mrs. F. c. .Fank-
houser, Mrs. D. C. Bane, will COM
pose the executive board.
With the two organizations con-
the leaders will soon be
able to organize q Girl Scout Coun-
ell, and every girl of Scout age in
the city should become member.

necessary to underream and set the
casing to shut off the flow. This has
been successfully done, and unless
more waer is struck, drilling will
proceed rapidly.

LIBERAL HAS CHAMPION
TOMATO RAISER

A. d. More, father of Mrs. Perry
Eaton, who lives on North Kansas
avenue, has discovered the secret OF
raising tomatoes. 1t is the usual
thing that tomato vines in this sec
tion, grow to be very large, and pro-
duce a great many blossoms which
never mature. >e
Mr.. More always has wonderful
crop of tomatoes and he treats the
vines in this manner:
He permits the male vine to grow
cutting away the shoots as fast as
they appear. The main vine will
grow eight and ten feet long, even
longer, and trellis is built for them
to climb on. AS soon as the run
ners appear on the vines they are
pinched off, and between these joints
will likely appear blossoms which
will; produce large and abundant
fruit.
Mr.. More picked a tomato weigh
ing one pound last week. He favors
the Ponderso and Early Anna varie-
ties in preference to others, as he
always has great success with
these. This year a small moth has
given considerable trouble, but he
has sprayed the vines and kept back
the pest.
Mr.. More will be pleased to tell
anyone how he treats his tomato
plants and will show them his gar
den if interested.
