THE ETERNAL TRIANGLE
Treated in Novel Manner in Ethel
ClaytOn's Exit the Vamp"

The eternal triangle which often dis
plays itself in the material affairs OF
men and women, is treated in a re-
freshingly novel manner in Ethel
Clayton's latest Paramount picture,
"Exit-the Vamp," which comes TO
the Tucker Theatre next Wednesday
and Thursday. The story deals with
the trials of wife whose husband
becomes enamored of another woman
who deliberately vamps him. Instead
of taking the law in her own hands
and exacting vengeance as some wom-
en- in like circumstances often do, the
wife adopts the unusual method Of
herself vamping her husband with the
result that the real vamp is put to
rout The picture is filled wit sit
nations that thrill and exert a power
full appeal. T., Roy Barnes is leading
man and heads highly capable sup
porting company, including Theodore
Roberts. hrr a.s rt r'

LIONS AND LEGION
WIN BALL GAMES
Lions Takes Second Place and Legion
Retains Lead in City League

The best ball game of the week was
that between the Lions Club and the
Fire Department Tuesday night. There
was not very large crowd on account
of this being postponed game from
Monday night. There was some real
good fielding, but the game was brok-
on to by number Of errors. The
hitting by Buckley of the Lions Club
was a feature of the game.
Berwick did the twirling for the
Lions and Ernest Evans for the Fire
Department. The score was Lions T.
Fire Department A. The game Fri
day night between the Legion and the
Methodists was walk-away for the
Legion and at no time during the
game were they in danger of being
run over by the Methodists. The
game was almost a continuous error
The games this week tied up the
standing of the three tail-enders
Methodists, Christians and Railroad
ers. The Legion are retaining the
lead with not a game against them
The defeat of the Fire Department by
the Lions, showed the fire boys out
of second place and agve the Lions the
second honors.
There will be good games this week
and all those who enjoy seing a good
clean base ball game once in a while
should not fail to attend the games

LIBERAL SCHOOLS OPEN
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 4

The board of education announces
Monday, September the fourth, as
opening day for the school year OF
1922-1923. With one exception the
teaching force for the school is now
complete. The board feels that it has
been fortunate in selecting teachers
with qualificatins and preparation
that especially fits each one for the
position which he or she is to fill in
the school system for the following
school year.
The schools Will necessarily be
somewhat congested again this year
for lack of available room. Howev-
er, the proper cooperation on the
part of parents, patrons and friends
of education with the faculty and
school board will do much to relieve
this situation and aid in accomplish
ing results in spite of these crowded
condition.
Internationally, Liberal can look
forward to a new day. 1t is expected
that the new high school building
now under construction and which
is to be the best in Western Kansas,
will be ready for occupancy at the
beginning of the next school year.
This splendid addition will make it
possible for every boy and girl in
Liberal from the grades to the high
school to be comfortably and COM
modously housed. Then, with the
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1922-08-24

coming of new equipment and an
increased interest in school affairs
on the part of patrons and friends
of educational effort, there is no rea-
son why Liberal should not have one
of the best school systems in Kan
sas. Cooperation on the part Of all
concerned will accomplish this. Let
us get back of the Liberal School
System NOW.

Friends Of the couple refuse to reveal the exact whereabouts of this mountain love nest"
 There are indications that Mrs. Stanley R. Mccormick, aunt of MaE thilde by marriage, does not approve of the match and that relations baA tween her and Miss Mathilde are somewhat strained.
 It mad been reported that Miss Mcl ACormicll might be at Chateau Praf1-' gins where Mrs. Stanley R. McCor- mick lives.

CLERKS MESS
 UP ASSESSMENT ROLLS

Manila, Aug. 18.-Farmers in the United States who have cause to com plain over taxes will sympathize with their fellows in the Philippines, where the new assessment upon which to base the bond issue authorized by Congress was made in some provinces overnight by clerks working for fifty cents per night. The old assessment rolls were distributed to them and they were told that Manila demanded an average increase of at least 50 per cent.
 So the earnest clerks went to work with fearful results. Some increases amount to 2,000 per cent. some to very little, but many to 200 to 300 per cent. An Americans cattle pas ture formerly valued at $375 was raised to s7,781.

NARCISSUS LOVE IN CHILD TASK
 FOR MOTHERS
Psycho-Analyst S. y s Youth Not Pure and Undefiled, as Is Com monly Believed.

London. Aug. 1S.-Dr Davis For syth. famous hospital surgeon and writer of many books on psycho- analysis and mental diseases, lectur- ing at the Institute of Hygiene, had severe shock in store for those pres- ent who regard the child as the sym bol of happy innocence when he ex- ploded the theory of the innocent minded child, alleging that it was a myth.
 evolution said pr. Forsyth, "we ex- pect to be much nearer animals when we are born.
 Children, instead of being golden, think them to be, have primitive un- analyzed instincts Of the crudest kind. Impulses of which we are ashamed in later life are found manifest in the early stages of life.
 Children are subject to the same emotions as grown-up men and wo- men. Love, jealousy, hate and fear are all apparent, and you get emo t1onal life even in the nursery
 Little children can only see life rom a selfish point of view; their seif- mportance seems magnified be- yond deserts, and they experience the SfeateSt d1fhculty in restraining their impulses or fail in their promises to their mothers
 Ut is quite a mistake to imagine mat we are not concerned with love before we reach puberty There are few boys and girls who go to parties who do not have love affairs
 The great difficulty that a mother experiences" e:il concluded pr. Forsyth, every child in his first years for him self (Narcissus love it is called. after Narcissus, who fell in love with his own face), and turn it to a directed ing the seeds of mental disorder for the child.''

White And Negro
 Population of The
 South During 1920

Washington. p. C.: Aug. 1s.-The Department of Commerce announces that according to the Fourteenth De- cennial Census, the total farm pop ulation of the South on January i, 1920, was 16,827,S34, comprising H. 750,84S white persons, 5,044,4S9 ne- groes, and 52,4s7 persons of other races. The great majority of these persons, of course, were enumerated within rural territory. but the total included 44.701 who were living on
 cities or other incorporated places having 2,500 inhabitants or more, that IS to say, in urban territory, accord ing to the census definition. It may | census definition of a farm extends somewhat beyond the ordinary mean ing of the term in that it includes any fruit or market garden. poultry yielded $250 worth of products in 1919 or required for its operation the continuous services of at least one person during that year. The farm nonn1atinn- -earanr.ises- bntf, fa4xzea -9nerr families. including farm 1aborers and their families not actually living on farms but not living in incorporated places.
 The census of 1920 was the first at which the population living on farms was tabulated separately from therefore no comparative figures for earlier censuses can be given. The white farm population of the South in 1920 constituted 4S.6 per cent. of the total white population of that section, 24,132,214; and the ne- gro farm population formed 56.6 per cent. of the total southern negro pop ulation, 8,912,231.
 The negro farm population exceed ed the white farm population in two states, South Carolina and Mississip- pi. In the former state the negro farm population numbered 640,357, as against a. white farm population of only 434,131; and in the latter the corresponding numbers vera 722. 2.37e and 547,Os7, respectively. The lar

 In West Virginia. in which state the entire negro population consti- tuted nearly per cent of the total, the negro farm population, 4,04e, rep resented a very much smaller propor- ton of the total farm population, less than 1 per cent. This is by far the smallest proportion of negro farm population shown for any southern state.
