COMPL|MENTED ROADS
IN SEWARD COUNTY
Little Different Tale
Told of Roads Lead
ing Into Liberal

Harry j. Barbour. manager of the
Avery Advertising Department wrote
the Democrat of conversation with
Warren H. Cline, an Avery man. of
Phoenix. Arizona.
Says Mr.. Barbour:
HE drove by automobile from
Phoenix, Arizona, to Peoria. and we
were discussing one evening the con-
dition of the roads between Phoenix
and this city. He said that the best
stretch of road that he came across
on his recent trip to this city was
then ten miles east of Liberal, Kan
sas. He said he didn't know just why
the roads were so good east of Lib
eral. but he found them smooth dirt
boulevards. well crowned, and we'll
ditched. He said: Imagine my sur
prise when I got to the end of the
road and found that the reason for
its being in such good condition was
that 1t was being shaved with an
Avery One-Man "Road-Razor."
"Mr. Cline, even though he is in
the employ of the company did not
know that Liberal, Kansas had
bought an Avery One-Man "Road-
Razor" He did note however, the
exceptional good roads east of Lib
eral, and he accordingly had good
word to say for your city.
1T is, as you said recently in one
of your issues: "A town is known
by the roads it keeps" And tourists
always have good word for the
town that has well crowned roads
and smooth dirt streets"
We rather expected to hear some
thing like this but we hardly expect
ed it so soon. However, we are glad
that at last some favorable publicity
has attached to Liberals roads and
hope that as soon as the road-razor
is used all over the county we will
get many more boosts on the condi-
tion of our roads.

THIRSTY CITIZENS DID
NOT QUENCH THIRST
Liberal Fellows Came
But Beverage Owner
Was Under Arrest

1t was a long, long, way back to
Liberal for bunch of thirsty citi-
zens one day this week, when they
came home with parched throats
whereas they expected to have been
regaled with the brew that made
Milwaukee famous.
We didn't learn the names, and
probably wouldn't have printed them
anyway, but the story runs like this
They heard that somethig resem-
bling beer was being made and sold
in the neighborhood of Tyrone in
Texas county, Oklahoma, So they
cranked up whatever make Of car
they happened to own and wend-
ed their way in search of the desired
beverage.
Their search was productive of
only partial result. They found the
place, all right, but Deputy Sheriff
Locke of Tyrone found it first and
he got what they really wanted--a
half truck load of malt beverage
claimed by some to contain as high
as six or seven percent of alcohol;
real kicking drink
Locke took the stuff and its al
ledged maker-one J. d. Messer-to
Guymon for legal attention which
both will no doubt receive. The man
ufacturig establishment was located
2 miles east of Tyrone and evident
ly expected to do good business
judging from the quantity on hand.
The Liberal fellows were given
the once over, found to not have
been implicated in any way and we're
allowed to return home in very
thirsty condition.

BUYS MILKING MACHINE
FOR SUNNYSIDE DAIRY

Stephens & Sons have purchased
a milking machine for their Sunny
side Dairy and will soon be using it
in their milking. According to Mr..
Stephens the machine milks two
cows at the same time and does the
work of four men. 1t is electrically
driven and great convenience for
the proprietorss swhile guaranteeing
high sanitary conditions for the
customers.
Mr.. Stephens expects a factory
expert to arrive today to install the
machine and instrust them in its use.
Since engaging in the dairy bust
ness, Stephens has enjoyed good
patronage which he fully deserves
for he is painstaking in his service
to his patrons.

"StVERS" MANAGING
THE MAJESTIC THEATER
Giving New Manager
Help in Making Real
Playhouse

Chas. Rogers (alias "Slivers") is
a familiar figure about the Majestic
theatre these days, having been EN-
ployed by the new owner, Roy Thorp
to help make the Majestic a real
playhouse.
"Slivers" at one time owned the
Majestic and proved himself an ex-
cellent show man, so the new own
prevailed upon him to get into the
to give the patrons of the show the
very best possible for their money
er hearing of his ability and desiring
game with him and help boost the
business.
Somt excellent attractions are
being booked and some other chang
es will be made which will add to
the desirability of the Majestic as a
place to spend pleasant evening.
"Slivers' peculiar brand of adver-
tising is attracting lot of atten-
ton and the shows are bound to
please.
The play Monday and Tuesday
highs were First National attrac-
tions "Man, Woman and Marriage"
and drew big house both even
ings without a remonstrance. First
National is coping off the big plays
and lucky is the house which can
show First National Pictures.

GAS STILL STRONG
IN TRADERS NO. |.
Reporter Present at the
Blowing Off Gives
Gives Testimony

A Democrat representative accom-
panied H. M. McQuigg of the Trad
ers Oil Corporation, to the big gas
well on the Boles farm west of Liber-
al Tuesday afternoon to see the well
given "an airing"
The well is opened at frequent in
tervals to keep the flow in good
condition, and this was the purpose
of the visit.
After standing in the derrick and
listening to the terrible kissing of
the escaping gas we can give person
al testimony that there is enough
pressure there to suit anyone.
The big valve was opened slowly
at first and they turned loose COM
pletely, and we stood there with
finger in each ear the noise was ter
rble. There have been rumors that
the flow of gas had stopped but we
know absolutely that such is not the
case, and while we are not in posi-
tion to state positively that the flow
is as strong as at first we are in
clined to the belief that it is.
Mr.. McQuigg could give no infor-
maton as to the resumption of work
on the Bunting test, as the condi-
tions which led to the shutting down
of the we'll have not cleared.

ROBT. MARSHALL PASSED
STATE EXAMINATIONS

Robert Marshall of Taylor's durg
store, received word Wednesday that
he had passed the State Board of
Pharmacy examinations which he
took several weeks ago.
This is not only good news for
him but to his friesds as well.
The examinations are extremely
difficult these days and is it an hon
or to make them, and Marshall made
a good grade, too.
He began the study of pharmacy
under Mr.. Dave Phillips of the Tay-
lor drug store, when at Sterling,
Kansas, and also finished under him
which also an honor for both Mr..
Phillips and Mr. Marshall.

WORK ON PHOTOPLAY
AN EXAMPLE OF SPEED

Work on the new Photoplay thea
tire building is going ahead with
wonderful speed. The brick work is
completed and the carpenters are
starting to put the roof on the build
ing.
1t is doubtful if such speed in
construction has before been shown
in this section of the country. AL
most before the work was started it
seemed to be finished and every day
has been some real work accomplish
ed.
Barring weather conditions, which
have already delayed the work, the
playhouse will be running within a
few week and the building and fix
lures will be credit to the city.
Already the appearace Of the prin-
cipal business street has been won
derfully improved and it is hoped
that others on the street will show
their faith in Liberal by improving
their properties.

GRAND| BROS. WILL
OPEN HERE JULY 1S
Show One Week Under
Tent-Under Aus
pices of Legion

The old favorites in Liberal Grandj
Bros. Stock Company, will open q
weeks engagement in Liberal under
canvass commecing Monday, July
18th, under the auspices of the 10.
cal American Legion Post.
Mr.. Grandi was here Wednesday
making arrangements for the en-
gagement.
The company has new plays of a
high order and as they haye always
there is every reason to expect a
pleased their audiences in the past
successful and pleasant week here.
Accompanying the Grandi Bros.
Stock Company is the celebrated CAL
kins' Ladies Orchestra. playing new
music to delight everyone. The or
chestra gives a concert preceding
each performance which is well
worth coming out to hear.
The company will divide receipts
with the Legion Post. and these
funds will be used in maintaining
their club rooms. One of the boys
says for us to tell the public that
they need the money and could think
of no better way than to give the
public chance to see some good
shows while assisting them in fl
nancial way.
The opening bill is to be "Staintly
Hyprocrites and Honest Sinners"
and we have the word of Mr.. Grandi
himself that it is good one.
We hope to see the company have
good audiences and the Legion boys
make little money for their treas
hry.
AS Grandi Brothers always give
the worth of your money you will be
getting double value.

WHAT DO YOU THINK. ABOUT
COMPANY "E"?

That we need protection in peace
times, is a truism, but have we -ap-
preciated our National Guard Com
pany E in the past and will we con-
tinue our support in the reorganiz-
alton and maintenance of this COM
pany in the future.
Emergencies arise in peace times
that call for the service of an or
ganized, trained fit body of men
such as the Tulsa race riot, the
Pueblo flood, the coal field strike,
etc.
Such body is the National Guard
and we must give our support to the
reorganization of our company.
Other towns want company Of the
National Guard and if Liberal fails
to give moral support and apprecia-
tion, some other town, stronger In
cooperation and public spirit will get
what we have failed to appreciate.
In rebuilding the Company, men
who join are called upon to make
sacrifice of time, money and oppor-
tunty and some adjustment of bus
ness conditions must be made to
enable employed men to receive
their salaries while away on duty or
in camp. The business men Of Liber-
al will get behind the Company and
give them their splendid support
and make this adjustment.
Ny appeal is to the people OF LID
eral and Seward County, that tney
get behind the Company and give IT
appreciation and support.
. This Company E has had a 1me
record in the past and the reorganiz-
ed Company must he built of strong
fine, clean, energetic young men
and we must boost them and retain
the National Guard in Liberal ana
Seward County.
Sincerely,
Minnie ]. Grnstead.

CHAMBERLAIN PUTS
IN NEW EQUIPMENT
Popular Shop Equal to
Best to be Found
Anywhere

Liberal now boasts one of the fin
nest equipped barber shops in the
southwest, due to the foresight of
L. c. Chamberlain, proprietor of the
barber shop in the Citizens Bank
building, corner of Kansas and Sec
ond.
Chamberlain has been in the bar
Der business in Liberal for many
years and always had one of the
the city, but now he has gone the
neatest and best equipped shops in
whole way In fixtures and the place
is beauty.
The interior has been finished in
white enamel special floor cover
ing of two thicknesses cemented to
the floor makes fine floor. Then
the new fixtures of white marble and
white porcelain with nickle trim
mings, the up-to-date chairs and
beautiful mirrors are all just as good
as money can Duy,
There are four chairs, each with
individual lavatories, making for
both convenience and pleasing ap-
pearance.
1t safe to say that there is not a
shop in this section which is any
always drawn nice patronage we
nicer, and Mr.. Chamberlain has
are of the opinion that the invest
ment is justified. He is believer
in the future of Liberal and shows t
in his business.
