MUNICIPAL COURT

John Semenuk of Augusta Pleads Not
Guilty to Charge of Wanton Be-
havior Case Continued to This
Morning at Conclusion of Testi-
mony
On the charge of wanton behavior,
John Semenuk of this city was ar
raigned Thursday afternoon before
Judge Robert A. Cony at the NUM-
cipal court. Respondent pleaded not
guilty, but was not represented by
counsel. At the conclusion of the
evidence in the matter, Judge Cony
continued the case to this Friday
morning.
The complainant in the case was
John Szady, who charged that Sem
enuk had been conducting himself in
a wanton manner with Mrs. Szady
while he (Mr. Szady) was away from
the house. The respondent and the
other witnesses except Szady are
Russians, and the case was conduct
ed by means of an interpreter. Szady
is a Polander, but speaks good Eng
lish, so that no interpreter was neces-
sary for his testimony.
Mr.. Szady testified that he resides
on Mt Vernon avenue, and some
times let's rooms in his house. Sem
enuk was one Of the roomers there.
AS the result of what had been told
him by others who have rooms there,
he had told Semenuk to keep away
from the house. but since that time
Semenuk had been at the house
again, a week ago Thursday being
the last time he was there.
The case against Hemenuk rested
largely on the testimony of two other
men who have rooms at Szady's
house. both of whom testified as to
their observations of the respondents

Oilcloth Industry Reports
Show Increased Values

A preliminary statement of the
general results of the 1919 census of
manufacture with reference to the
oilcloth and linoleum industry has
been issued by William M. Steuart,
Director, Bureau of the Census, De-
partment of Commerce. In 1919 there
were IA establishments in New Jer-
sey, five in Pennsylvania, four in
Massachusetts, three in Ohio, two in
Maine. two in New York, one in
Illinois, and one in Indiana
The report issued states that the
figures are preliminary and subject
to change and correction. In the
fluctuations comparisons are made
between the amounts of oilcloth and
linoleum made and manufactured, in
the years 1914 and 1919, together
with values prevailing during those
years. Total production in 1914 ag-
gregated 127. 03S, 900 yards at a value
of SIS, 59s, 900; in 1919 production was
only little less, being 125,448,000

DEMOCRAT |NSTALLS
THE SECOND MACHINE
,Unloaded an Intertype The First Of
The Week and Will Soon Be
In Operation

The Democrat has marked another
mile-post in its upward march by in
stalling the second type-setting ma
chine.
The new machine is an Intertype,
in most respects like the Model IA
Linotype installed several years ago,
and will handle the straight matter,
or news matter for the paper, leav-
ing the larger machine for the set
ting. of jobs and advertisements.
When the Model IA was first in
stalled, we were only able to run il
part time. Finally business increased
until it required the machine nine
hours each day. Finally this was
insufficient and we had to resort tc
night runs to keep up. Even this ha,
proven unsatisfactory and we fount
that to handle the business in 1
prompt manner, another machine
must be added.
The growth Of the Democrat the
past FIVE years has been phenomenal
First, the Model IA was added to the
equipment, then the Ludlow Typo
graph for setting the big display
faces. Now, the second type-seter il
required, so it can be seen that the
business coming to the paper has in.
creased many times since the present
management has been in control.
We do not want our patrons to
get the impression that because we
have found it necessary to have more
equipment, we are getting rich by
any means. The printing business
has been conducted on very small
margin, depending upon volume fol
profits, and this is the reason for the
new machine. We expect to still in,
crease the volume, allowing us tc
branch out some and make little
more money.
With the best subscription list OF
any paper in the Southwest, ample
equipment to handle all business
tbat comes to US, with printers moi
surpassed in the country, there il
every reason to believe business can
be further increased.
"'he Democat has placed at the dis
posal of the users of printing ant
advertising, not only of Liberal, but
the Southwest as well, the very best
in advertising service and printing
service and they are showing theil
appreciation in a nice manner.
We are pleased to announce the
installation of the new machine and
will appreciate the opportunity tc
use it for you.

ability to finish the line.
This is the time for Liberal to get
back of Byers. If we are to main
tain Chamber of Commerce, the
first thing that body should do is to
ascertain how they can assist Byers
in building the road to the Colorado
coal fields, and then get busy and
do that.
Liberal needs the road and right
now. Dalhart is about to get road
out through Oklahoma, and if this
deal goes through it will be too late
for Liberal to expand in that direc.
tion. If Liberal is to be a city we
must have railroads and while the

WHERE WILL L. H. s.
PLAY BASKET BALL7
Opening of Season a Few Weeks OF
and No Available Place For
Practice Even

The question which is now agita.
ting the minds of the school authori-
ties, the students and the fans is,
where the teams are going to play
basketball this season.
The foot ball season opened last
Friday and closes Thanksgiving Day.
Previous to that time basket ball
practice should have been under way
several weeks, but at this time there
is no place to practice, much less to
hold the games.
Every little town in the country
has an indoor court, except Liberal.
Think of it-no place where our
young folks can hold their games,
and unless this condition is remi-
died, Liberal will have no basket ball
games this season.
Can Liberal afford to have the
news go out that she has no team be-
cause there is no place to practice ?
Would that be good advertising for
the town?
We are told that Forgan is spend
ing couple Of thousand dollars in
building a basket ball court. Plains,
Tyrone, Beaver, Hugoton, Sublette,
all these towns, all smaller than
Liberal, have places to play basket
ball.
Will Liberal make good as she al
ways done before? That is the burn
ing question. Liberal has agreed to
provide an armory for the National
Guards, but we have heard of no
plans being made as yet. Let's get
busy on this proposition right now,
and provide the Armory and the bas-
ket ball court at once.
The time is short. We must get
busy at once.
