 The occupation of German cities by French troops was we'll received by Germany, cable advices make clear, and a good time was had by all.

 As General Gaucher of the French forces stepped off the train the burgo- master rushed forward and grasped his hand, both posing for the movie men ln an attitude of great affection.
 Pardon this intrusion" urged Gen eral Catcher, s'but we're obliged to stay here for some time, if you don't mind.
 Not at all,' returned the burgo- master Very sorry I didn't have 3 hot lunch awaiting you. l hope you all be very comfortable here"

NORTH WELL GOING
INTO THE RED BEDS
Are Having Good Luck
Work Going Along
Nicely Now

After fighting the quick sand that
hindered the work for the first sew.
eral hundred feet, the drillers in the
well of the Seward County Oil &
Gas Company north of Liberal, have
reached the red beds and are max
ing rapid progress.
That this strata was reached at
such shallow depth is a mighty good
indication that the well is located in
shallow sand strata, and if no oil
or gas is found, it will no doubt be
struck at more shallow depth than
in the Traders well, west of town.
The best dope available is that
the red beds were encountered in
the Traders well at something like
700 feet, while in the Seward County
Oil e. Gas Company test they were
slightly below the 500 foot level.
Those who have watched the pro-
gress of this well are as happy as
can be. The stock is practically all
owned locally, and unless there are
dscouragements beyond what can
be forecasted, there is enough money
in the treasury to finish the work,
and should a we'll be brought in with
the small amount of stock already
issued, it would be worth its weight
in gold, and then some.
This stock was taken off the mar
ket more than year ago, and the
company financed at that time,
which is a remarkable occurrence
in local companies. The large block
of acreage and small stock issue is
all the benefit of the stockholders
who are becoming more enthusiastic
all the time.
No stock can be bought here ex-
cept at big premium, small block
having changed hands at one time
for $3.50 per share, while the par
value is 81 per share. Later small
amount sold for IS, and since that
time there has been none on the
market.
The outlook is very bright and it
is hoped the good luck will continue
that good test be made before
cold weather sets in.

HARVEST GOING
Full BLAST NOW
Scarcity of Help Re-
tarding Work of Cut
ting of Wheat

With one of the best crops in the
history of the country ready for the
binders the shortage of harvest
hands is seriously hampering the
work of harvesting the grain.
Hundreds of men are needed in
the territory about Liberal and but
few men are coming in. Farmers
are meeting every train in the hope
of picking up men, but their vigil
ance is counting for little.
At the Armory Capt. A. T.
Hilyard of Company E is conduct
ing billet for the incoming help
and here men may sleep and loaf
until they are needed, but they are
getting but little sleep and no loaf
ing, as there are farmers on hand to
take out every man who appears.
The first few nights there were a
number of men on hand but now
they go out as fast as they arrive.
The wheat ripeed earlier than was
anticipated and found the farmers
unprepared for the work of cutting,
Then, too, the grain ripened uni
formly over the country, shutting
off the supply of men which usual
ly comes from the south as the har-
vest extends in tis direction.
From all the reports we can get
we are led to believe thai the yield
this year will equal, if not surpass,
all former yields. The heads are
well filled and are longer than u.s.
ual, and at no time during the grow
ing season has there been a time
whe the crop has been in danger. It
It has been an ideal season and the
crop is going to show it.

CONDITION SERIOUS

Little Elnor Snyder, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ned Snyder swallowed
a penny Sunday afternoon and is
in a serious condition. Physicians
fear an operation will be necessary.
The little girl took two pennies
to Sunday school, but one of them
was a bright new one she wanted
to keep it. While playing with it she
put it in her mouth and a moment
later had swallowed it. A day or so
later she became i'll but the attend
physician did not attribute the trou-
BILE to that source, but when she did
not get better an x-ray was taken
which showed that the penny had
lodged in valve in the intestines.
She is very ill and unless the penny
can be dislodged it will be neces-
sary to operate.
Mr.. Snyder is in Hot Springs, Ar
kansas, and is in very poor health,
and it is not known whether he will
be able to return home.

ADJT. GEN. MARTIN
TO Be HERE FRIDAY
Will Address Chamber
of Commerce and
The Legion

The question as to whether or
not the National Guard organiza-
ton is to be maintained in Liberal
is to be discussed at meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce next
Friday.
The present enlistments expire
next. month and unless it is the wish
Of the business interests that the
Guard be continued here the organ
lization will be disbanded.
Adjt. Gen. C. l. Martin will be
here Friday to meet with the Cham
Der Of Commerce to ascertain the
sentiment of the business men in
this regard. Mr.. Martin is known as
one of the biggest army men in the
United States, and will have some
thing instructive as we'll as interest
ing to say. 1t is desired that there be
full attendance, not only of the
members of the Chamber of Com
merce, but all business and profes-
sional men interested in the progress
Of Liberal.
The Democrat is informed that fiji
ty to sixty men can hold the organi-
zation, and that enlistments can be
made for the period of one year
which makes membership more de.
sirable than formerly.
Mr.. Martins talk will deal with
the National Guard company as 6
business asset to the town and
shoull be heard by every booster.
He will also address the American
Legion the same day. The hour fol
these talks has not been set as it il
not known just what train he will
come on, but the time will be an
nounced SO that all may attend.
The Guard Co., has given Lib
eral a lot of favorable publicity dur
ing the time it has been organized
and the proposition deserved through
cosideration because of the fact tina
if we lose the company at this time
it will be impossible to secure anoth'
er.
The boys have made good and
rank close to the top of Kansas com.
panies and if the business interests
can assist them in any way there is
little doubt but what the assistance
will be Forthcoming.
