PIAN ERADICATION
 IF CATTLE DISEASE

Dr. C. A. Curtis, federal veterinarian with the bureau of animal industry, arrived yesterday from Albuquerque, for a conference with Dr. F. J. flight. state veterinarian, relative to the eradi- cation of tuberculosis. Dr. Curtis and Dr. Flight discussed the steps neces- sary before putting in effect senate bill AZ, which provides the eradication measure.
 We are anxious to get started as soon as possible" said pr. flight, who said that the first step would be to enter a cooperative agreement with the bureau of animal industry This matter will be taken up at a meeting of the live stock sanitary board Fri day, he said, when an agreement will be signed and sent to Washington.
 'It will probably be month or more before all arrangements can be made including the signing of the agreement. preparing quarantine plans, etc" said Dr. Flight, who sees in the operation of the bill an enormous saving in lives and dollars.
 In his opinion, the bill if carried out to the letter will prevent the spread of tuberculosis among cattle and eradicate the disease entirely in the course of time. The state has made an appro- priation of s7O00, matched by the bu- reau of Snimal industry.
 It is generally believed that Dr. Cur tis will he placed in charge of the bureau at this point. The veterinarian has been in the work since 1908 and has made frequent trips to Arizona Some time ago he co-operated with the state live stock sanitary board in the northeastern part of the state in the eradication of dourine.

Tonight sees the final showings Of the cleverest comedy that Billie Burke has made for Paramount since she left the legitimate stage to enter the realms of the silent drama. It is called .'The Frisky Mrs. Johnson" and is taken from the stage play of the same name by Clyde Fitch. Mrs. Johnson was an American widow who was on a visit to Paris with her younger sis ter who was the wife of a diplomat at the gay French capital. The younger sister gets into nice mess and the American widow endeavors to extricate her and that starts all the trouble. The sossips know her as "The Frlsky Mrs. Johnson" and she is the center of the scandal of the French capital for the brief period in which she has her fling She upsets all precedents, steps so fast that even old Paris gasps with delight at this American widow, auburn haired and daring as an Apache She flirts until hearts hang in strings at her belt; she defies the conventional until she is the storm center of the wagging tongues of the American colony. The older ladies take long breaths when her name IS mentioned, but she Is playing a great gane and the only one who believes in her is the man who loves her, the boy sweetheart who has travelled over half the world to ask her to take up the thread of the romance her hasty mar riage in America shattered. He be- lieves in "The Frisky Mrs. Johnson" and all the others she throws into the discard It's a fast comedy, with the
 indescribable Clyde Fitch touch. It
 was said before he died that he Knew
 women better than any man living. and his plays were all about women
 and their little shortcomings, their loves and their many virtues. The
 Friskv Mrs Johnson" gives way to-
 morrow to "The Jucklin's," from the
 pen of Opie Reed.

January LIST, 1922, every home and building in
Liberal should be using natural gas, piped
from the big gas well on the Boles farm, west
of Liberal. However, we should not want
until that last date to start, but should get
busy tomorrow and thresh out the matter and
make arrangements for bringing the gas to
Liberal
And the oil development may mean a
lot to Liberal before this time next year. The
big rotary outfit at the Traders Bunting No.
is going down at an astonishing rate; we are
told that the 200 foot mark has been passed.
What this test will develop, of course, no one
knows, but the continued activity at the
Traders Boles No is good indication that
this test is still live proposition. And the
fact that more boilers and casing has been
shipped to the field lends color to the rumor
that other tests are to be started
The Seward County Oil & Gas Company
we'll is expected to start operations March
Dist. and the company should have the sup
port of Liberal in that the test may be fin
ished The company is at present nicely fl
nanced, but should more funds be needed,
Liberal should come through and help finish
the test
There are several lines of business which
should be brought to Liberal the coming year
Let's get busy and investigate the possibilities
of brick plant, glass plant or other insti-
tutions which will bring people here and give
them employment. We are told there is good
glass sand here, also good brick clay. The
natural gas will make these institutions east
ly obtainable.
More business buildings and more homes
will be builded in the next twelve months We
know of three twenty-five foot front build
ings which will be started before great
while, and there are doubtless many others
under consideration.
Another thing which can be accom-
plished this year is the identifying of the
city. Trees can be planted in the spring, lawns
put in good shape, paint spread, and every
thing in connection with our homes and bust
ness frightened up. This will help to adver-
tise Liberal as nothing else.
There are many other things we can do
to put the old town across during 1921, and
it is up to us to get to planning right now and
then start out to put these plans into exc
cution.

What VIII The Nezg Year Bring TO
Liberal

In this world we profit only as we plan
and labor. Plans count for naught unless ac-
companied by effort just as effort without
pans is a waste of time
With this thought in mind let us ask our
selves the question, what will the New Year
bring to Liberal?"
Each of us, no matter how lowly our sta
ton, is a contributor to the advancement of
the town. Each is an integral part of the
whole which makes for progress or stagna-
ton. In our planning and our labors let us
not lose sight of this fact, and each of us act
as though the future of the town was of our
own making.
There are many things which will come
TO Liberal if we but make the proper effort
along the right lines. and to our mind, the
most important of all these, is the building of
the Kansas & Oklahoma railroad from Forgan
to the Colorado line.
We do not mean for the road to. stop
there but the beginning of another year
should see trains running that far, at least.
Mr. Byers has some well-laid plans and he
will do everything possible to carry them
through, but he should have the support BOTH
moral and financial, of the entire town in this
undertaking
The building of this road will open up
W vast uCW anu Tic ScllllllS
of this territory will bring hundreds of new
people to the southwest. Baca county, Colo
RADIO. already has population of $4,000 peo-
pie, and not a railroad traverses the county,
The people out there are wide-awake and
progressive. They have builded towns be-
yond the imagination of most people; they
are raising great crops and hauling them
miles and miles in motor trucks to market
Take a railroad as close to them as the state
line and see how eagerly they will pick it-up
and tax" it across the county. When this has
been accomplished Trinidad, Pueblo and 9th
er good towns in Colorado will reach out and
take it to connections with the main line
roads in Colorado, and we will have rail con-
nections in two directions which will start
Liberal on an upward growth heretofore I'M
known.
This is easily possible if we but set the
mark and keep shooting
Another resource furnished by Mother
Nature is within our grasp-natural gas. By
