PUTTING NEW ADDITION
ON THE MARKET HERE
John w. Baughman Decides to En-.
large Liberal Some More. Going
East This Time

Now on the market, the newest
addition to the city is being featured
by John W. Baughman.
The new addition is known as the
Sunrise Garden Tracts and the sale
is now on. This addition is just
east of the city limits and is beau
tful spot, with good drainage and
conveniently located for desirable
homes.
The tracts are large enough that
they permit of considerable garden
ing and are therefore called garden
tracts.
Baughman's salesmen are now plac-
ing the tracts and are meeting with
good success. The grounds are being
made attractive by grading up the
streets and making the tract look
like a real townsite.

MAKING GOODPROGRESS
IN WELL NORTH OF TOWN
Mr.. Skaef Report Work
Going Along Smooth
in Local Test

According to E. J. Skaer who is
drilling the oil test north of Liberal
for the Seward County Oil & Gas
Company, the work is progressing
at very satisfactory rate and the
drillers are experiencing but a mini
um Of trouble in making the hole
and setting the casing.
This test is being watched with a
great deal Of interest mont only in
Liberal but from the outside, as the
news has gone abroad that Skaer is
in charge of the work and this is ia
ken to mean that the test will be
drilled as rapidly as possible.
One thing which is liked about
this test is the fact that the pro-
gress of the drillers is public prop
erty. The company is entirely home
one, and the depth and formation
are a matter Of public property. With
the big firms coming from the out
side this is different. They are pros
pecting and at their own expense,
and the results Of their research is
private property.
Where we'll is drilled by home
capital as the well north Of town,
everyone may know what is going
on if he is interested enugh to ask
Now that a competent man has
been secured to drill the test the
public should lend every possible
assistance that the work may proceed
Just as fast as possible. It Is moi
likely that there will be necessity
of raising more money, but the mora
support and encouragement Of the
public is desired.

BETTER OBSERVE THE
TRAFFIC LAWS HERE

It looked as though some one
needed a few lessons regarding the
traffic rules of the city. The first
Of the week some one drove down the
west side Of the street going north.
They were arrested by the authori-
ties. On Monday one Of Forgan's
citizns came to Liberal and parked
his car wrong. He was also arrested
and fined.
Car drivers had better watch their
step.

HUGoToN-LIBERAL BASEBALL

The Liberal base ball club went
to Hugoton Sunday afternoon where
they crossed bats with that town.
The Liberal boys as well as the HUI
goton boys all played well, but the
competitor carried off the long end
Of the score. A. few rather raw deals
were pulled but no one has envi-
Gus feeling toward the neighboring
town.

The correspondence received at
the Chamber of Commerce indicates
that Liberal is not only we'll known
but that much is expected of this
place. This kind of advertising is
valuable, but it has a penalty at
tached to it. In order to keep up the
reputation Liberal has gained this
town will have to exert itself con-
stantly.

One of the big advertisers Liber-
al has had the past year was the ef-
fort made to build railroad from
Forgan to this place and on north
west. Hundreds of people in whole
sale lines have been keeping close
track of this movement. A number
of wholesale houses have leased sites
for branch houses here, looking to
the completion of this road Some
of them have grown discouraged,
and at least one has relinquished its
lease. But they are still coming. The
territory from Springfield, Colorado,
to Forgan, Oklahoma, represents a
territory that is good now and which
will develop 80 per cent in year
if the railroad should be built. Be-
sides such a railroad connection
would make the distribution Of mer-
chandise easier for a much larger
territory. A great many people are
interested in this matter, and are
watching it. There is a more wide
spread interest in the Forgan-Liberal
railroad project than there is in the
Southwest Kansas oil field.
One Of the best posted men in
traffic matters and trade territory
in Kansas, in writing a personal let
ter to the secretary Of the Liberal
Chamber Of Commerce few days
ago, wrote: ."Was surprised to learn
that you had gone to Liberal. But,
I have always thought that Liberal
had the making Of a mighty good
town if it will get the jump on some
Of the other towns similarly situated
in that part Of the country. If the
Byers line can be finished from For
gan through Liberal to the Santa Fe
at Hugoton or Elkhart ] believe Lib
eral should be able to control a lot
Of the jobbing business in four d.
rections. There is a mighty good
territory southeast of Liberal thru
Forgan to Woodward and then down

tory.
One night last week 43 travelling
men were registered at the hotel al
Forgan. In out of the forty-three
drove to Liberal the next day and he
said most of the bunch would have
come on here if there had been a
railroad. Oklahoma travelling men
are much interested in the Byers
project. They seem to attach parti-
cular Importance to it as a means
to connecting with the Rock Island
ad the Santa Fe lines.
Last week representative of a
firm which does a large volume Of
business in farm loans were looking
over this section Of Kansas. This
firm has loans made in territory
northwest of Seward County and
have become convinced that farm
loans from Liberal to Elkhart are a
better risk than in some of the coun-
ties further north and east. The
representatives were greatly pleased
with this part of the country and will
figure it in their future business.
The big sign directing travel thru
Liberal was placed On the D. G. D..
road "a miles south Of here last Sat-
urday. It can be seen for a half mile
before it is reached by tourists COM
ing form the south. The Chamber Of
Commerce committee composed Of
R. E. Summers, Oscar Gross and the
secretary drove out to see the sign
placed.
Quite a number Of young men are
coming through at present looking
for farm work. Some have been sent
out to farms by the Chamber Of
Commerce during the past week.
Farmers who want hands now or a
little later on should notify the
Chamber of Commerce If they would
like this organization to assist them
in finding men.
