THE PAINT UP CAMPAIGN

The paint-up campaign being inau-
gurated by the Great Southwest As
sociation is commendable move.
If we expect to attract people we
must not only produce good crops,
but we must show healthy commune
ity spirit. We must show attractive
homes if we expect others to come
and build attractive homes.
In the matter of Improvement
there is nothing which adds so much
and costs so little as paint. Most any
ordinary building when nicely painted
looks twice as well, so if you cannot
afford new house or barn use q
little paint on the one you have and
help the appearance of your neigh
borhood that much.
Why not start right away and make
a big Improvement by the time the
tide of immigration sets in next
spring. People are going to come,
just as they have always come to set
tie here and the better appearance
we can make the more likely they
are to stay.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Just what is the matter with the
Liberal Chamber of Commerce? Is
the organization dead or only sleep
ing? ~
Spring is coming and when that
glad season arrives Liberal should
begin growing with everything else,
and good. active Chamber of Com
merce is going to be needed badly.
An election was held few months
ago and officers elected, but for
some reason or other there have been
no special meeting to arouse enthu-
iasm for Liberal. The organization
has no secretary since Millman re-
signed and there is deep silence in
the office of the Chamber of Com
merce. The table and desk and
chair is there, likewise the typewriter
but no one to use them, and it doesn't
seem like Liberal.
Other towns are hiring and paying
secretary for the Chamber Of Com
merce and unless there is such man
the orgaization will not get far. A
good secretary is absolutely neces-
sary to keep the organization going.
AS the editor of the Bingville Bugle
would say "you can't keep secre-
tary on hot air and cold potatoes"
so it will be necessary to pay him a
salary and give him something to do.
Let's have a Chamber Of Commerce
meeting, arrange for a secretary, dig
up some money, hard thought it may
be, and get the booster game started
for Liberal and the Southwest.
We cannot afford to lie down and
quit boosting, and good time to get
things started is during the season
before spring business opens UP and
we are all too busy to give our time
and attention.

RELEASE THE HOLDINGS
Empire Gas and Fuel Company 10
Giving Up Its Oil Leases

GUYMON, Feb. 4.-The Empire
Gas and Fuel Company which has
probably held the greatest number
Of oil leases scattered all over Texas
county are releasing all their hold
ings. These leases are not blocked
like most of the holdings of the lar
ger companies, and this is believed to
be the reason for their action.
The farmers generally are delight
ed to get their places free of these
leases, which have brought them only
ten cents per year per acre and very
little hope of development. 1t will
leave them the opportunity of group
ing their leases in blocks and they
feel this will hasten development.

TO MAKE SOUTHWEST
LOOK MORE ATTRACTIVE

The Great Southwest Association
has started a drive for paint-up
campaign to make the Southwest
look more attractive to prospective
settlers. A circular from headqua--
tiers has to say regarding the propo-
ton:
Doubtless you would like to see
more well-painted houses and barns
on the farms and town properties of
your community. Chats civic pride.)
Maybe you'd like to sell more paint
to the citizens of your trade area.
That's good business.)
The Great Southwest Association,
melting at Liberal the other day, de-
cided to put on a campaign to paint
up the Great Southwest. (That's a
big job.)
The Association has as machinery
for this job, boosting community
clubs everywhere, the national asso-
citation of paint manufacturers, pub
licity. good live paint dealers and de-
termination. CHATS system
Accordingly the board of directors
of the association will hold meeting
with the paint dealers Of the Great
Southwest to devise means for max
ing this campaign success: (That
was at Dodge City, yesterday, Febru
airy 7th.)
They can't hope to make this drive
success unless the paint dealers co
operate. CHATS a necessity

DEMOCRAT NAMED AS Of
FICIAL COUNTY PAPER
Board of Commissioners at Meeting
Tuesday, Made Designation

At the adjourned meeting Tuesday
morning the Board of County Com
missioners designated the Liberal
Democrat as the Official County
Paper" with the exclusive right to
print the legal publications of the
county for pay, with the exception
of the Commissioners proceedings,
delinquent tax list, and road notices.
This is an honor appreciated by
the Democrat. even though we feel
that It is fully deserved. For the past
four years we have labored long and
hard to make newspaper which
would be representative of Liberal
and Seward County We have sacri-
feed financial consideration to make
the. paper what we believed a real
newspaper should be. and that this
is in measure responsible for the
action of the Board, is apparent.
Hereafter, no other paper in the
county will be able to carry the title
"Offcial County Paper" that title
belonging to the Democrat alone.
We wish to thank the Board of
Commissioner for their compliment,
and commend them for their fore
sight.
With this designation, the Demo-
crat becomes both the official city
and county paper, and takes a rank
ield by no other paper in the county.
