PRESIDENT HARDING TELLS OF A BRIGHT FUTURE
HIS MESSAGE FULL OF HOPE

the people easier to carry. Presi-
dent Harding knows that II such
spending as we nave had Of govern
ment money should continue II would
mean the end Of our country. Just
think, kiddies. Il Is costing the gov
ornment for what Is known as cur
rent expenses about five billion dol
lars each year. And he said The
burden is unbearable' He gave two
ways to correct it-by keeping the
appropriations down to the lowest
amounts possible and by the greatest
OF economy in running the govern
ment departments. He told his cabi-
net officers this first and then the
Congress, and know 1t will be
done"
you have told US about tariff be
fore" said Jack. Did he say any
thing about that?"
You bet he did, Jack President
Harding carried forth the one great
thought that American industry
must be protected and that our first
interest is TO see that America pros
pers first. The foreigner finds IL en-
tirely too easy TO sell his goods in
this country today. Not only does IL
help destroy our 'self-reliance. as
ne said but Mr Harding also pointed
out that those who import goods into
the United States should be made 10
pay fair share OF our cost Of gov
ernment.'
lone Of the fine things President
Harding has said before ana which
he repeated in his message 10 Con
gress Is that we must have less gov
ernment in bushes and more bust
ness in government II is not fair
that business should have 20 com
pete with the government where all
the risks for the government are met
By the public treasury. Better busi-
ness methods in our government are
needed and with the cabinet now in
fine working order. this will be ac-
complished.
Il don't believe any man in the
world would like To see some arrange
ment made to do away with war any
more than would Warren G. Hard
ing But he is big enough to see
that no such arrangement can be
made until real peace is again in the
world. He also knows that We can
not cease to protect ourselves, TO
build navies and keep our armies

Ii was Just AFTER dinner and Uncle
Ted was In the front room reading
the evening paper Jack and Ruth
were trying 70 study their school les
sons but were having a mighty hard
time TO keep their minds on study.
The reason was simple. Uncle Ted
had been away again. This time he
had made a trip TO Washington to
try 10 arrange matters for one OF
his former buddies in the army, who
was badly wounded in France. II so
happened that he was in the Ma

April 12, so he stayed in order to

Congress. President Harding being

"Oh, geei can't study and more,
Uncle Ted-anyway I know all my
lessons for tomorrow and have
been wondering all about the day in
Washington when President Harding
talked to Congress"
I knew It." exclaimed Uncle Ted.
1t was too good to last. Always
teasing me aren't you? Well,

joy hearing him give that message. -
said Uncle Ted, as he put down his
paper. IT was a great event. II

drama that will entirely for good

Some people have been afraid that
President Harding would either hang

that the good old theories OF George
Washington, Abraham Lincoln and
the fathers OF this country were good
enough for him and that would fol-

The Eureka Steam Launrdy will
soon add another delivery car to its

owner and manager of the company

The patronage of the laundry is
steadily growing and Mr.. Leete feels
that the business justifies the addi-

machines he has received recently
and has on the road.
Everything that insures better,
in truth, the best service obtainable,
Mr.. Leete intends to add to the
laundry here.
Mr.. Leete invites the inspection
of his laundry, and will gladly show
one through the buildings and ex-
plain the manner in which the laun-
drying is ccomplished from the time
the clothes are delivered to tn tubs
until they are ready for the home.
It is unusually interesting and one
should take the time to see how it is
done.

put in all new furniture and fixtures
and her loss was heavy.
The corner building, two story
frame was owned by X. W Huber an
was the building occupied by Mrs.
Strohm. This building was vacant,
with the exception Of some confec-

a total loss.
AS best we could learn there was
no insurance on any of the property
destroyed except the fixtures in the
Coats restaurant on which there was
an $500 policy.
The fire started about s o'clock
and between and 6 Guy Hickman
was awakened by dense smoke. He
arose and gave the alarm, but as the
buildings were all frame and Ty-
rome did not have fire protection all
that could be done was to save the
adjoining property. The Liberal fire
department was called and respond
ed hastily, but when within two miles
of Tyrone persons returning from
the fire met them and gave the In
formation that there was nothing to
be done so they turned about and
came home.
Mr.. Huber owned all the lots but
one and nothing has been determined
as to the rebuilding program.

Half Block of Business Houses Went Up In
Smoke as Result of Early Morning Blaze
Which Started In Restaurant

One Of the most destructive fires
which has ever occurred in Tyrone,
13 miles southwest Of Liberal, oc-
Cured early Tuesday morning, when
in the neighborhood of $4,000
worth of property was destroyed.
The fire stared in a restaurant
conducted by D. E. Coats, but tHe
origin is mystery, the building hav-
ing been almost completely destroy
ed before anyone arrived on the
scene.
The restaurant was closed at the
usual hour Monday evening and no
one had been in the building after
that time. This building was on
the north side of the Main
street, adjoinging that Of the
Sims & Sons general merchandise
store. The front of the SINS building
was damaged considerably, the plate
glass being broken and some Of the
goods in front Of the store damaged.
The restaurant and fixtures next
door were total loss. The building
was owned by Frank Towner Of Los
Angeles, California, and the fixtures
by D. E. Coats.
The U. L. Mathes real estate Of
flee was also a total loss, very few
books and paper being saved from
tn flames. Mr.. Mathes owned the
building which he occupied.

Police Judge and Lii
brary Contests to

WoRINs HARD FOR THE LIBRARY

The city election next Tuesday IL

despite the fact that there Is but one
ticket in the field.
The only contest in that for the
office of police judge but the matter
of voting aid in the support Of the
library is going to create good in
terest. So far as we have been able
to discover there is little opposition
to the proposition.
Most people feel that the Woman's
Club has borne the burden OF the IL
brary for a sufficient length Of time

this opinion.
and that the load should be taken ov-
No town worth whoop will be
without public library and while
the ladies' of the Club have supplied
the need for many years it is hardly
fair to ask them to keep 1t up for
ever and II Liberal has library It ID
up to the town to help support It.
We hope to see the library prop
osition 60 over by large majority.
It will cost each Of us but little while
the benefits win be great. Liberal
must have library and this is the
logical way to keep the one we have
enjoyed all these years.

STILL BUSY AT THE
BUNTING OIL WELL
12-Inch Casing Is Set
and Standard Tools
Being Rugged
ARE EVIDENCES OF A good TEST

Work at the Traders Bunting No.
still goes on. While little is defi-
nitely known, owing to the fact that
persons are not admitted to the well
the indications are that something is
due to happen soon. It seems that
the 12-inch casing has finally been
set and that the standard tools are
being rugged.
This gives the impression that the
well is to be drilled in with standard
tools, and Liberal folks are hold
ing their breath. It was generally
supposed that the entire we'll would
be drilled with the rotary outfit and
the fact that a change is being made
leads to the belief all the more
strongly that oil has been found in
sufficient quantities to justify a
change and a test.
A rumor comes from Amarillo that
good oiler has been brought in and
message from Gate, Oklahoma, is
to the effect that money is being
raised to shoot the Gate well.
There was a slight showing in the
well, but the company has run out
of money and could not do anything
more. II the funds are raised the
well will be shot at an early date,
and those close to the inside are
strongly Of the opinion that this will
result in a producing well.
