"The greatest soldier of them all" was the shout of the great throng which gathered in front of the home of Woodrow Wilson on Armistice Day after they had paid tribute to the nn- known hero. And it was an honor richly merited Mir. Wilson was victim of the war no less than if he had been wounded by bullet=or shell, and added to the bodily ailments is the mental anguish of misunderstand- ing and defeat, which he suffered.

the time and effort.

NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS
IN LONGENECKER CASE

County officials give the infor-
nation that there are no Develop
ments in the Longenecker murder
case and that the murder is just as
much mystery as ever. It now be-
gins to look as though the murderer
Of John Lonegnecker will not be ap-
pretended.
It was thought the offering of
the $500 reward by Seward county
and Liberal City would cause evil
dence to be unearthed which would
lad to the discovery Of the murder
er, but it is evident from the tone Of
the officials that they have about
given up hope of finding the guilty
party.

CHILDREN GAVE
SPLENDID 0PERETTA
Excellent Work of the
Teachers Apparent
Children Did Well

Blossom Time," an oper-
eta by the pupils of the Lib
eral grade schools was given at
the Armory last night to a
packed house.
The production was given
under the direction of the Mu.
sic Department of the Liberal
schools, with Miss Dorothy Ed
son as supervisor. Miss Edison
trained the large chorus and
demonstrated her ability along
this line to the satisfaction of
all. There were several hun
dred voices in the chorus which
was a most enjoyable part of
the entertainment, while the in.
dividual numbers were excel.
lent.
The teachers of the grade
schools had charge of the cos
tunes and trained the little
folks in their drills and dances
and that they did efficient
work is attested by the smooth.
ness with which the program
was carried out.
The play was based on the
allegory by Hawthorne, "Tht
Pomegranate Seeds" with Mis-.
Harriet Boles in the role OF
Proserpina. Children from tn,
grades represented the birds
the farmers, rainbows, rair
and flowers. All were dressed
in appropriate costumes anc
made a most beautiful scene
The May pole, dance was
nicely done by pupils from
the first and second grades o
Garfield. The fifth and sixtl
grades from Garfield gave tn,
opening chorus; the bird groul
was nicely given by the thir,
and fourth grades of Garfield
The first and second grades o.
Mckinley furnished the partic
ipants in the farm group; th,
fourth and fifth grades of Nc
Kinley, the rainbow group; the
third, fourth and fifth grade.
of Garfield, the water group
and the first, second and thirC
grades of Lincoln and Garfield
the flower group.
In all, there were several
hundred children in the play
and that the teachers were sue.
cessful in carrying out the pro-
gram in such a pleasing man
ner is certainly to their credit
1t is to be regretted that the
play was not staged in a more
satisfactory setting, as the seat.
ing of the Armory being but
temporary, was not advanta-
geous for a good view, and
only those close to the front
received the full benefit of the
performance.
The diligent work of the in
structors and pupils was wor-
thy of the best possible condi-
tions. However. those fortunate
enough to get good seats are
enthusiastic in their praise of
those in charge, and those who
took part.
The following teachers had
a part in the production: Miss

TRYING TO K|DNAP
MARTHA MAY BANKS
One Man Under Arrest
Charged With Com
plicity in Attempt

Martha May Banks, 14-year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. s.
Banks of South LierA was evident
ally the intended victim of kid
mapping plot which has landed one
man in jail and put the officers on
the trail Of one Of more others.
Miss Banks is to be the complain
ing witness in a case against Chester
Bane, charged with a statutory Of
tense, and whether the attempted
kidnapping is in any way connected
with this case is OF known but in the
minds Of many it is held as motive.
According to the best informa-
ton available, the first attempt was
made Friday night, when Mrs. Banks
was awakened by a scream and go
ing to Martha's room found her be-
ing pulled from her bed through the
window by two men. AS Mrs. Banks
entered the room the men ran. The
matter was reported to the police
but no clue was ever found which
would lead to the identity of the
guilty parties.
The next development was when
Martha received an unsigned note
asking her to meet the writer on
Sunday night west of her house. This
note was turned over to her par
ents and her father armed himself
and laid in wait. When the map ap-
peared he was ordered to throw up
his hands, but instead Of complying
he ran. Banks fired at the fleeting
figure, and says there were signs Of
blood in the street where he ran as
the shots were fired.
Night Marshal Higgins was mott
fled and later Sheriff Nelson was
called on the case and an investi-
cation was started. The boy who de-
livered the note was called and said
that he did not know the name Of
the man who gave It to him, but
, that he would know him if he should
see him. He was taken about and
pointed out Harry Lingo as the man.
Lingo was arrested on a charge Of
completely in attempted kidnapping
and the trial set for Wednesday but
has been postponed until next Tues
day. Meanwhile Investigations con-
tinue with the expectation of unearth
ing more evidence and possibly inn
plicating others.
The trial of Chester Balm which
comes up at the June term of court
may or may not furnish motive
for the kidnapping. Prosecuting
Attorney Davis refuses to discuss
the probable bearing Of the new
developments upon the case now in
court and Sheriff Nelson likewise
does not commit himself upon the
question. However the public opin-
ion has linked the two cases.
The father Of the Banks girl is
employed at the Rock Island round
house and works at night and he is
thoroughly exercised over the affair.
He had had about al this foolish
ness he can stand and unless there
is let-up the South Side may fun
nish a real sensational story one of
these days.
Officers are on the alert for any
evidence to be used in the case and
if thre is a motive other than the
case in court they are going to do
their best to run it down.
The case has caused quite a sem
tion and sentiment is strong
against the perpetrators.
