MEADE HIGH COMES FOR

|. \. S. and Meade Will Contest For
Football Honors On Liberal
Grounds

The Meade and Liberal high school
foot ball teams will meet on the local
gridiron for the Thanksgiving Day
foot ball game Thursday afternoon
Meade is expecting to take the
game but the Liberal fellows feel the
break of luck is due their way and
they are not so certain the lads from
the Meade County capital will be
able to take the game.
1t is hoped that a large crowd will
be on hand to root for the L. H. S
team. With such a crowd as saw the
Liberal -Guymon game, the Meade
fellows would have no chance for the
noise alone would beat them.
Everybody get out and settle theil

KISMET GETTING TO BE
A BUSY LITTLE CITY

The editor of the Democrat spent
Saturday afternoon in Kismet and
was somewhat surprised at the large
amount of business being done in
that little city. Although the day was
not the best for travelling, good
sized crowd was in town and the
stores and other places were doing
rushing bushes.
Kismet is located to make a good
little town and the folks up that way
should be glad to have such a town
conveniently located. The various
lines of business are pretty we'll rep
resented and the business men ap-
pear to be prosperous.
There is plenty of room in Seward
County for another good town, and
Kismet has a good big chance to be
that town.

". B. KING IS SEC. OF /,
CHAMBER COMMERCE
Was Employed at Special Meeting
Monday Night and is
in Charge

A special meeting of the Liberal
Chamber of Commerce was held
Monday evening to act upon the ap-
plication of w. B. King for the posi-
ton as secretary.
1t took the directors but a few
minutes to act favorably upon the
application, and Mr.. King entered
upon his duties Tuesday morning.
There is lot of work the Chamber
of Commerce can do and we believe
that with secretary full of pep, this
work will b accomplished.
Tn Dmocrat believes the board act
ed wisely in employing Mr.. King. He
is home man, and all his personal
interests are here. He is well and
favorably known, and already has a
knowledge of what is needed.
However, he, alone, can not make
the Chamber of Commerce a success
He must have the backing and sup
port of not only the directors, but
the entire membership. If you have
an idea where the organization car
do something of benefit, for the town
drop in and Sc Mr.. King. He can put
it up to the board and they decide
whether or no the plan is feasible.
All the organization needs is q
little life on the part of the mem
bership. The Lions Club and Tho
Rotary Club were not organized
to take the place of the Cham
ber of Commerce, but to assist it
and there is still need for the or
ganization.
The coming year will see man,
new problems and new enterprise
to be handled by the organization
and every member should do his par
to make this year big one in Cham
ber of Commerce activities.

HAD FISHING JOB
IN NORTH OIL TEST
Lost Underreamer and Spent Several
Days Getting It
Out

Trouble and then more trouble has
hampered the work in the test of the
Seward County Oil G. Gas Company
on the Sealy farm north of Liberal.
1t was necessary to get an under
reamer and this took several days.
Before the underreaming job was
competed this was lost in the hole. 1t
was finally hooked but the work of
removing it proved tedious and sever
al days have been devoted to the task
which at asst accounts had not been
completed.
The hole is now down 1910 feet
and everything was going good when
the underreamer was lost. Oil men
were hopeful that the drillers would
be able to proceed without trouble as
the two-thousand foot level was ex-
pected to produce some excitement.
There were a lot of people disap-
pointed when the 1850 foot sand did
not show up something, but they were
not discouraged, and still believe that
the 1000 foot sand will show oil.
If the drillers can break the hoodoo
it is not going to be long until some
thing definite will be known, for at
the rate they were making hole when
stopped the two-thousand feet can be
realized in few days.

CITY BEAT GADBERRY
IN SUIT FOR DAMAGES
Took Jury Buta Short Time To DE
eide City Was
Blameless

The only case of public interest to
be tried in District Court this week
was that of Gadberry VS. the City OF
Liberal, for damages supposed to
have been sustained by Gadberry
when he was thrown from wagon
while driving onto the street east OF
the creamery.
The city was able to show that
where the accident occurred was
not city property and made it plain
that the city was in no way respon-
sible.
The jury was out but a short time.
Grinstead & Cosgrove represented
Gadberry.

EKLS WILL INITIATE
CLASS HERE DEC. IL
A Large Number Will Receive The
Work Here On That
Date

On account of the large number to
be initiated into the Elks Lodge, the
Garden City fellows have consented
to come to Liberal to put on the work
here, and the date has been set for
Monday, December 18th.
A large class went to Garden City
for initiation some time ago, but all
who had made application could not
get away. Since then a number of adj
ditional applications have been re-
ceived and the decision to come here
to put on the work was made.
There are still many, who, no
doubt, would like to take member
ship and the fact that the class is
to be initiated here, will enable them
to join.
If there be such they should see
j. f. Fuest at the Scandrett d. Fuest
hardware store and leave their appli-
cation at once.
BY starting now with good bunch
of members Liberal is assured the
next lodge in this district. Until sucf
time the memberships will be held al
Garden City which already has goo'
lodge.
Those who have been elected vii
please remember the date, Monday
December 18th, and be on hand, fo'
the Garden City fellows are coming
a long way and should not be dis
appointed.

LIBERAL LOAN Co. IS
TAKING APPLICATIONS
Over One Hundred and Fifty Applica-
'tfOns For Loans Already
Received

The Liberal Loan Company re-
ports rushing business this week,
more than one hundred and fifty per-
sons having already made applica-
ton for loans in various amounts,
totaling a gigantic sum.
The plan is evidently meeting with
the approval of the people of the
I Southwest, and we have heard many
words of praise for Mr.. Byers and
the gentlemen who are associated
with him in organizing tn company.
The source of the money to be
loaned is the War Finance Board of
the United States Government. The
men who appear as directors of this
company merely handle the business,
and under the terms of the govern
ment contract, must do it at mini
mum of expense. In fact, it is likely
that no private corporation could
handle the business for the small
per cent the government allows.
We are Of the opinion that as soor
as this money begins to come in
business and agricultural conditions
are going to improve in this section
All that is needed is little none!
with which to do business, and the
turning loose of a million or so dol
lars cannot help but have beneficial
effect. not only on the part of thu
agricultural interests. but the bust
ness interests as well.

M. C. TRExLER DIES IN
A WICHITA HOSPITAL
Was Thought to be Convalescing
When a Sudden Turn for the
Worse Came

hospital Monday night at 1880
,.o'clock, from complication of d.

He had been in poor hath for

seemed to be recovering from his all
ment and wrote his folks that ne
would be home in few days. In
fact, he had progressed so far that
he was cured and was only waiting
to regain strength for the trip home.
Suddenly complications arose and his
condition became serious. His daugh-
ter, Neva. who is attending school IN
Winfield. went to Wichita to see him,
and. finding him so i'll, wired for Mrs.
Trexler and other members of the
family.
Upon being told by the physician
in charge. that they had done every
thing they could, she had him re-
moved to another hospital in the hope
that something more could be done
for him, but there was no hope and
he died soon after being removed.
The news of his death came as
shock to friends here. He was
thought to be getting along nicely
and there was no thought of his con
dition being dangerous.
Mr.. Trexler has been a resident o.
Liberal for number of years ant
was enextensive holder of land ant
city property. He was held in higf
es;eem by all who knew him ,and tho
family have the tenderest sympath!
of all in their bereavement.
He was a member of the M. E
!. church of this city and faithful t.
his duty as a Christian gentlemen.
The funeral was held from the M
E. church, conducted by Rev. A. f
Henry, and interment was made il
the Liberal cemetery.
