DEERING MARSHALL SAYS
OIL PROSPECTS UNDIMMED
Many Things to Encourage-Nothing
to Discourage-Says This
Noted Wildcatter

Deering j. Marshal and W. H. Las
sen of Wichita, were here the last of
the week as guests of Jas. H. Woods
on hunting party at the Beaver
club in Oklahoma. Mr.. Marshal is
an oil man and Jas wildcatter, is
heralded as "the widest Of the wild"
Mr.. Lassen is a son of the founder
of the Lassen hotel in Wichita.
A Democrat reporter interviewed
Mr.. Marshal at the Hotel Cimarron
Saturday evening. Asked as to what
he thought of the oil pospects in this
section, Mr.. Marshal said that he only
knew what the papers gave, but that
since there was nothing discourag
ing, conditions must necessarily be
encouraging. 81 look for quite BIZ
of activity in the spring." he said
Scouts and leasers for the big com
panies are becoming active, and be,
lieve that wild-catting will be strong
er than ever when spring opens.
Continuing Mr.. Marshal said: 81
has not been disproven that there il
oil here, and it has been proven tina
there is, and there is every possibil
ity Of an oil field, or at the yer!
last, a big gas field"
This was Mr.. Lassen's first visi
here and he expressed himself a
wonderfully pleased with the coun
try and the city.
Messrs. Marshal and Lassen re
turned to Wichita on No. Sunda,
morning.

PRICE OFFER
WILL CLOSE JAN. 1ST
Pay Up Your Subscription Now and a
Year in Advance and Save
so Cents

Some of these days you will have
to pay up that back subscription tc
the Democrat--why not do it now ado
dollar and pay a year in advance
and save so cents.
The special subscription offer OF
81 year expires January 1st, so you
will have to hurry to take advantage
of it.
The special price offer of 81 year
for new subscriptions has been a
whirlwind success. Right now when
everyone is short of ready cash there
is a big difference between one dollar
and two dollars and as result the
Democrat has not only held the lead
over all others but actually widened
the gap, having added enough new
names to put it in a class by itself in
the matter of circulation.
And to do this the Democrat has
no one to assume load of overhead
expense entailed by the giving of ex-
pensve premiums. Whatever a busi-
ness gives away must be charged as
expense, and come out of the over
head, adding to the cost of produc-
ton, and the public must pay for it.
The Democrat merely cut the price
to a normal sum, allows the subscri-
Der to keep the prize money in his
pocket and adds the names as fast of
faster than any premium scheme could
do it.
The time is short-take advantage
Of iris fair and square offer and save
yourself some money. Tell your
friends, they will appreciate it.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
IS IN FULL BLAST
All Liberal Merchants Report Good
Trade Saturday and All This
Week-Much From a Distance

Christmas shopping has been the
order of the day in Liberal for more
than a week. Saturday was a good
day for Liberal business people and
the nice business has continued all
week. Although buying has been
heavy, stocks are holding up well
and prospects are good for record
business the last of the week.
Persons came from a distance Sat
urday, and they seemed pleased with
the showing of the Liberal mer-
chants. Several who had not done
their holiday shopping in Liberal pre-
viously expressed surprise at the big
lines carried here.
Every year the trade territory of
Liberal is increased and as the trade
territory expands, it will be possible
to carry even better stocks so it
behooves everyone to come to Lib
eral and thus help themselves in the
matter of selections.

LIBERAL AGENCY HAS
SALES RECORD THIS YEAR
Liberal Typewriter Exchange Sold
More Woodstocks Than Any
Agent in Town This Size

Tn Liberal Typewriter Exchange
with the Liberal Democrat has the
best selling record of any agent in
towns the size of Liberal, during the
past year.
In little more than a year, six
teen Woodstock Typewriters have
been sold in Liberal and adjoining
counties, and as a recognition, the
agency is to be placed in larger
class, the commissions increased and
stock of machines will be carried
for immediate delivery.
The Woodstock has proven its pop
uarity and is making good where
ever it is tried out. People are fast
learning that they can buy to better
advantage and patronize a home in
stitution and have the benefit of, a
personal service.

THE DEMOCRAT BUYS A
FINE NEW MACHINE
Democrat Installs a Big Southworth
Punching Machine This Week
Fill a Long Felt Need

There is always something to buy
in a newspaper office and the change
in business demands new things all
the time. The advent Of so much
loose-leaf bookkeeping has made it
necessary for the Democrat TO install
new punching machine. This ma
chine arrived the first of the week
and has already handled several jobs.
The machine is Southworth Punch
and will shoot hole through half
inch of paper with slight pressure
on the foot lever. The machine is
finely built with micrometer gauges
that holes may be made absolutely
accurate, something impossible with
small hand machines.
OF course, this machine cost some
money, but it will enable us to give
more accurate work and Of higher
quality. This Is for the benefit of
our patrons, who, we believe, deserve
the very best for their money.

South Central Avenue, Paris, H."
The deed was committed with
38 calibre Remington automatic pis-
tol. The bullet entered the head about
an inch above the front of the right
ear and ranged upward and slightly
backward. There were evidences of
powder burnes on the head and one
hand was slightly cut, possibly by the
action of the automatic. The bullet
passed thru the head, struck the door
frame over the door and glanced
across the room where it was found.
1t was steel bullet.
An inquest was held Tuesday morn
ing at the Miller Undertaking parlors,
j. F. Fuest, C. w. Ellsaesser, E. E.
McHugh, VIM. Bangs, w. L. Rucker
and Bert Withrow composing the
jury. Coroner S. A. Miller was as
sisted by County Attorney f. w.
Davis, in examining the, wjtrpsseR, \
Several witnesses were called and
all were in perfect accord as to the
circumstances surrounding the shoot
ing. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Stallard told
a perfectly straightforward story of
the incidents and absolved themselves
from any connection with the terri
BILE tragedy.
Mrs. Stallard made an excellent wit
ness, telling with perfect detail of her
acquaintance with Gill. 1t appears
that he had been separated from his
wife, and later lost child, the latter
seeming to prey upon his mind. The
kindness of the Stallards seemed to
touch him and he formed a strong
attachment for Mrs, Stallard She
says that he had threatened several
times to kill himself and her, and that
she was worried when he came to the !
house Monday morning, as he seemed
more morose than previously.
She told of conversation she had
with him Sunday. Although it was
cold he wore no overcoat. When she
asked him why he did not have it, he
that he had made arrange
ments whereby he would have no use
for an overcoat or anything else; that
70 had sent his grips to his mother
and intended ending it all. She did
not take this seriously as he had
made similar statements on other oc-
casions.
Many rumors went the rounds after
,he shooting, and there was no little
excitement, but the facts of the case
soon set these rumors at rest.
The evidence at the inquest was
conclusive and showed that neither
Mrs. Stallard or her husband could
n any way be held responsible in
he least degree for the action of
Iill. They had befriended him and
he had gotten to the point where
friendship would not suffice, and so
:ook the easiest method out of his
roubles. fi
In answer to wire from his par
,nts. the body was shipped TO Paris,
illinois, on No. 2 Wednesday even
ng.
Gill had some distant relatives liv-
ng at Hooker, Oklahoma, and they
.ame up Tuesday to attend the in
quest.
1t was most unfortunate acair
md deplorable for Mr.. and Mrs. ,
,tallard, but it is indeed fortunate
hat it did not terminate more dis
lstrously.
