LIGHT COMPANY TO
PLACE STOCK HERE
Ask Liberal People to Buy Securieties
to Finance Extensions and
Betterments

The Liberal Light Ice & Power Co.
is offering to the people of Liberal
[ the opportunity to own securities OF
the company for the purpose of rails
ing money for extensions and better
! ments.
The securities are in the form of
gold notes, as explained in their ad-
vertising in this issue. and should be
an excellent revenue producing in
vestment.
The company has recently installed
magnificent Diesel engine, making
their service second to none, and this
has handicapped them for funds with
which to make extensions being de-
manded by the growth of the city.
1t is becoming popular for public
service corporations to place their Sc
curities with their customers, and in
many places large issues of securities
are being taken.
Light and power are two of the big
gest assests city can have, and at
present the local company is giving
good consistent service.
Anyone having money to invest will
do we'll to investigate the securities
being offered and we are of the opin-
ion that they will be found safe and
profitable.
Manager Cadou will be pleased to
explain the proposition to any inter-
ested party.

LIBERAL WILL HAVE AN
AIRPLANE FROLIC ON lITH
Something Like 35 Commercial and
Ten Army Planes Coming
Big Time Assured

The air above Liberal will be full
of airplanes Saturday and Sunday,
November 18th and 18th, and stunts
never before witnessed in this Sec
tion of the country will be of COM
mon occurrence. 1t will be regu-
lar thing to see young lady jump
from moving plane in a parachute,
man hang by his teeth while being
whisked through space, planes up
side down and in every other con-
ceivable position.
There will be plane races and con-
tests; in fact, something doing every
minute from one o'clock until dark
each day, and those who miss the
event will be passing up something
they may never again have the op-
portunity of seeing.
Think of thirty or forty planes
buzzing around in the air at the same
time, their aviators trying to see who
can go the farthest in their flirt with
death.
We are promised some of the most
daring pilots in the game, men who
walk around on the wings Of plane
as it does stunts, and it is hard to
tell what all to expect.
People are expected to come for
hundreds Of miles, for>the promoters
tell us that nothing like this has been
pulled off in the state so far. It
was by lucky chance that Liberal
was able to cop this big show and
everyone is invited to come to Lib
eral one or both days and see the
thrilling sights.
The American Legion is handling
the 'frolic, and are advertising it ex-
tensively all over the country. Come
one, come all, and remember the
dates.

LIBERAL WON FROM
ASHLAND HIGH 10 TO 6
Team Was Going Good and Ashland
Had But Little Chance To
Score

The L. H. S. Football team took one
from the Ashland Team Tuesday af-
ternoon by score of 10 to 8 on the
Liberal field.
Liberal made the first score when
Davis caught a pretty pass in the
first quarter and ran 65 yards for q
touchdown. Goal was kicked.
In the second quarter Ashland got
away with pass and failed to kick
goal, evening the score for time
but Davis recovered Liberals punt be-
hind the goal, making the second
touchdown.
At the beginning of the third quar-
ter Liberal passed '15 yadrs to Davis
who ran another fifteen yards for the
third touchdown and Don thinner
man kicked goal, making the score
10 to 6 in favor of Liberal.
! Inthe last half second string men
were sent in but they were full OF
pep" and defended their position well
The playing of Zimmerman and
Davis were the features of the game.
The crowd was not as large as it
should have been. We hope Liberal
fans do not fall down in their support
because the boys have had hard luck
so far this season. Remember they
are mostly new hands at the game
and if we will back them strongly this
season we can expect some real foot
ball the next two or three years. There
is lot of good material in the team
and with more experience Liberal will
clean up on the football schedule.

7. A. TEGARDEN, LIBERAL BANKER,
DIED SUDDENLY monday MORNING
Had Been in Usual Health Until Sunday Even
ing, When He Complained of
Feeling Badly

To know "Tom" Tegarden was to
love him. Everyone called him Tom
for his long years of residence here
had enabled him to become acquainted
with almost everyone in the country
and every acquaintance became q
friend.
He was faithful member of the
Christian church, o member of the Of
ficial board and a tireless worker and
as his pastor said at the, service II
am glad to know that Bro. Tegarden
was a,man Of God, and ready to meet
his Lord" ai a M tI ia
During the years he labored he
amassed considerable wealth but no
one would have known 1t had they
waited to learn it from him. His life
was simple, and his greeting just az
cordial to the most humble citizen as
to the greatest man in the land. He
was home-loving man, and spent
the greater part of his spare time
with his family, but he made friends
everywhere by his genial manner and
upright life.
The writer cannot but feel a per-
sonal loss in the passing of Mr.. Te-
garden. He was the first man with
whom we became acquainted when we
came to Liberal almost sixteen years
ago, and the acquaintance formed at
that time ripened into a friendship
that is hard to sever; and thus it is
with hundreds. He has gone the way
all mortals must go, but he leaves to
his family the honor of clean, hon.
est Christian life, and the inspiration
of Cody father to his sons.
Words are inadequate to express
the sympathy of the community fol
those who mourn his death. May the
thought that they may again be
united in the land where there is nc
more sorrow sustain them in Their
hours Of grief.

suit the service is being extended and
improved.

PHOENIX MINISTERS ENDORSE PLANS FOR
 CIVIC SUNDAY HERE

Expressing a desire that all the min isters of the city. without regard to their utilization with the Mini-terial Alliance, should unite in the obsery- ance of Civic Sunday on Feb. 20, the members of the alliance met yesterday and endorsed the work of reorganizing the chamber of commerce. The thoughts of the alliance on this subject, including a recommendation that every minister in Phoenix preach sermon on next Sunday in which the idea of community service shall be emphasized, were embodied in the following resolu- ton:
 "The fact has been brought to our attention that the chamber of com- merce of Phoenix has just launched an expansion and membership campaign whereby it is expected additional hun dreds of men and women of our city will be enrolled as members of this organization.
 .As a part of the program of activ- ities for the success of the campaign the ministers have been asked to CO., operate in the general observance of Civic Sunday, which has been desi- gnated as Sunday, Feb 20, 1921. On
 that day 1t is planned that every min ister of the city shall either maks some reference from his pulpit to the rnove- ment, or preach sermon on some text pertaining to civic righteousness. the relationship between the church and the community. the churchman's duty to his city. or some text that will
 create in the minds of our citizenship q thought of community service and the part each individual may play iu
 making Phoenix great and better city i In which to live and educate the chill
 dren-the citizens of the Phoenix of tomorrow.
 The plan Of the campaign having been thoroughly explained to us. we hereby give our hearty endorsement to
 he efforts that are being put forth by the chamber of commerce for the uplift
 and betterment of our city. and pledge our best support in the carrying out of
 the plan for Civic Sunday. which date 1 will fall on the Sabbath immediately
 preceding the membership drive during
 the week of February 21.v
