trance Of the church. Six members OF
the 32Sth Infantry Association Of New

WHOLE CITY OINS
NATIONAL GUARDS
Will Be Made an Honor in Liberal
To Be Member of Company E
City Appoints Committee

A rommittee of seven prominent
ritizens has been appointed by the
Liberal Chamber of Commerce to
act with a committee of five from
the American Legion as sponsors
and moral hackers of Company sc"
National Guard of this place.
This commI ttee Us composed of
Charles Summers, Lee Larrabee,
j. N. Evans, Mrs. V. H.Grinstead
and Mrs. Nichols. The The Ameri-
can Legion will Add five members
to this committee and the twelve will
represent the City of Liberal in all
affairs connected with the National
Guard.
The committee will demonstrate
that Liberal takes strong pride in
Company "E". 1t will see that
young men understand that the city
is back of this organization, as well
as the state and the United States.
Company "E' is part of the Ma
tional Army and this citizens COM
mttee will be interested in having its
membership made up from the city's
best young men.
It has been pointed out that in the
past Liberal has paid little attention
to her soldiers and this is not to
happen in the future if the Citizens
Committee can prevent it. There
will be good feeling for the Liberal
National Guard Company and cheers
when it appears and to be member
of the organization will be an honor.
Many of the business men, al
ready have siged agreements to al
low employees to belong to the COM
pany and to let them have their two
weeks vacation when called to drill
without loss of time.

work personally to direct labor here
and thousands have been brought
into this section. But people have
been coming to Liberal ror men
from 80 to 40 miles in all directions
from Meade, Seward, Haskell, Stew
ems, Grant, Texas and Beaver coun-
ties. To supply all of this territory
would require upwards of 5000 men.
And to get men to Liberal from any
direction they must be brought thru
wheat counties where they also were
short of hands. This week a good
many have been getting to Forgan
thru Woodward. 1885,
For over a week hundreds daily
have been directed to Liberal from
the State Employment office at
Hutchinson but until the past two
or three days few of them were al
lowed to come thru Pratt. At pres
ent great numbers are coming west
from Pratt and are being dragged
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1921-07-07

from trains at Haviland, Green's
berg, Mullinville, Bucklin, Kings
down, Bloom, Minneola, Fowler,
Meade and Plains. Every day it has
been hoped that these places would
become supplied and that larger
numbers would reach Liberal, so
that the whole wheat district in this
part of the state could be given
crews.
The harvest is progressing fairly
well and is perhaps half over in Sc
ward county.
The Chamber of Commerce at Lib
eral has urged the Pratt Chamber Of
Commerce and the Pratt County
agent to forward men to Liberal.
Regarding their efforts and the
movement of men the following let
ter was recently received from ]. D.
Broadwell on Monday Of last week:
"All day Saturday and Sunday
men were going through Pratt for
points west. Those who came in on
the Santa Fe from Wichita We had
a chance to talk with, and directed
them to Liberal. We are well suppli-
ed now and are sending all men
straight through.
"We estimate that close to thou
sand men a day are passing through
now and the towns between here
and Liberal will fill up rapidly at
that rate.
"The County Agent and myself
meet all trains now and send the
men On west, and we try to get as
many as possible to go to Liberal"
