BASKET BALL TEAMS OFF
TO TOURNAMENT AT PRATT
Both Girls and Boys Teams Left
Afternoon for Big Meet In
the Neighboring City.

The Liberal high school basket ball
teams left on No. 2 this afternoon
for Pratt, where they will take part
in the southwest Kansas tournament.
The prospects are good for the
boys team to take the meet. The
first game will be between Liberal
and Cullison. Winning this meet,
the Liberal team will play the win
ner of the game between Lake City
and Sawyer. A victory in this game
would put them against the winner
of the Spring Township and Plains
game. Spring Township has not
been defeated this year and will no
doubt be able to win from Plains,
putting L. H. S. against the unbeaten
team. The dope is that the boys
championship lies between Liberal
and Spring township.
The schedule for the girls game
has not been received so it is not
known who they will compete with.
There are some strong teams in the
meet, especially the Ashland team,
but local fans are firm in the belief
that the Liberal girls will take care
of almost any opposition which may
develop. |
Outside of the Spring Township
game the Liberal boys are going to
have comparatively little real oppo-
sition, and there will be some sur
prise if both teams do not come home
with the pennants.

VICTIM OF NIGHTMARE
TAKES A HIGH DIVE
THROUGH WINDOW
(By international News service)

(By international News Service)
Denver, March 10-Henry Lettau,
thirty-one, has two outstanding char
acteristics-he is hard-headed and
he doesn't like soldiers.
In an attempt to escape, in a
dream from soldiers, who were pur-
suing him (also in dreamy Henry

room on the second floor of lodg-
ing house. Although he fell Is feet
and landed headforemost, Lettau in
CURED only minor injuries.
G. F. Norred, a special officer,
heard noise in Lettau's room as he
was passing the door. Looking in
rolling on the floor waving his arms
through the transom he saw Lettau
and kicking vigorously. AS Norred
went to get assistance, he heard a
loud crash and foundL ettau sitting
on the ground outside under the win
dow, moaning.
Lettau had jumped through the
window glass and suffered cuts about
the head and face from the broken
pane. He explained to the police

GUTHRIE WON THE
WRESTLING MATCH

Wrestling fans were we'll pleased
with the outcome Of the match that
was held last night, when thy saw
Guthrie take the best two out of
three falls.
At first it looked as though Olsen
was going to take the record falls, as
he won the first fall in 45 minutes
with wrist lock and head scissors.
A ten minutes rest ensued, and
the two men came back on the mat
both in good spirits and eager for the
winning. In II minutes Guthrie got
the second fall with a combination
toe hold. Then another short rest,
after which the men came to the mat
and a part of the crowd cheered for
Olsen, while others were strong for
Guthrie.
This time both men went into the
fight for all they were worth and
they wrestled for another 81 min
utes before one got the advantage
of the other, when Guthrie succeed
ed in getting a combination toe hold
on Olsen that could not be broken.
Both men were very evenly match
ed in weight, and the match was
good clean one throughout the
evening. This was Olsen's first time
in Liberal, but fans all agree he is
an A No. 1 man
The crowd was not as large as it
should have been probably on account
of the bad evening, but all who miss
ed it lost out on good, clean wres-
tie.
Other matches have been prepared
for the near future and announce
ments will appear i'm the papers lat

THE BOY SCOUTS TO
PLAY HQGQIQN TEAM
Boys Are Working Hard To Be Able To
Take The Game This
Evening.
A Big CROWD SHOULD Be PRESENT

The Liberal Boy Scouts basket ball
team will play game with the Hugo
ton Boy Scout teams this evening at
Armory in Liberal.
This is the first game to be play
cd in Liberal by the scout team al
though they have met teams at other
towns before.
The boys would appreciate a good
attendance this evening, as what they
make will go into the treasury for
expenses, and really the boys need
the money. They will give you a
good game well worth going to see.
Liberal is a good boosting town,
and at times has shown considerable
interest in the Boy Scout movement,
but as a regular thing this important
institution has not received the
whole-souled support it deserves.
Possibly the average citizen does not
realize what the scout movement is
doing for the boys, how it leads to
better citizenship and better morals.
The scout movement is always on the
job. The boys must study and work
to advance and there is incentive
enough to do so.
The Boy Scout and Campfire Girls
association, organized several months
ago, has taken some interest in the
work and through the efforts of E.
8. Irwin and a few of the more en-
thusiastic members, has succeeded in
getting the scout work we'll under
way in Liberal.
Mr. Irwin has done good work, in
teresting people in taking part in the
activities and large number of boys
are enjoying the advantages of the
organization.
A scout council is to be organized
at once, making the scout work in
Liberal conform to the principles of
the organization and when this is &C
complished there will no doubt be a
better understanding of the efforts
being made in behalf of the boys.
Everyone who possibly can, should
attend the game tonight and encour-
age the boys in their effort to better
fit themselves for the duties of citi-
zenship.
The admission is % cents and for
that quarter you will receive a dou-
bic measure of satisfaction. You
viii be entertained to the worth of
your money and at the same time be
doing something of benefit to the
community and to society.

GETTING READY TO
SET .12-|NCH CASING
indications Are That ResuitOf Showing
Will Soon Be-.
Known. .
SHOE is PLACED ON THE CASING

1t is practically agreed that there
will be an attempt made to deter
mine the quantity of oil in the Trad
ers Bunting No. 1 well southwest Of
Liberal.
A visit to the well revealed the
fact that arrangements are being
made to set the casing. The shoe
has already been placed and the pipe
is being transferred to the drilling
platform.
While rumor has been strong that
the 12-inch casing was to be set, there
was nothing positive, bit the fact
that the casing is being placed on
the platform, that the shoe has been
attached and other work along that
line, there is no longer AAy doubt a.
to the intentions Of the company.
Oil men who have examined the
pumps are widely different in their
estimates as to the capacity to be ex-
pected. Their estimates range from
200 barrels to 1 900, while some
claim that the well should be a gush-
err from the fact that the showings
come up through so much mud.
Oil men continue to come to the
city, leases are again changing hands
and town property has started NOV
ing again, all good indications Of an
impending strike.

Is "equal suffrage" but an empty
slogan, or have women equal rights
and privileges with men? Does gain
ing the ballot also carry with it equal
authority to act, think, dress and
speak like men? Or is that subtle
sentiment called public opinion"
stronger than any sanction of the
law? These problems and questions
were put to test recently when
Miss Lillian Jeffries, dressed in a
natty business suit and fedora hat
paraded up and down Broadway, Los
Angels, Cal. While no officer ar
rested her, and while no one in au-
thority suggested to her that she was
overstepping the prerogatives of her
sex, the shocked look Of surprise in
hundreds of eyes, the audible jeers
and grins, made her prominade any
