BOY SCOUT NOTES

d
The various troops of Scouts in
Liberal are getting well under way
again. Troop Two under the leader
ship of Assistant Scout Master DR..
Smith, took short hike last We'd
nesday evening. Troop Three is plan
ming an overnight hike to be pulled
off soon. Troop Four with their
Scout Master, Warren Zimmerman,
will take a hike next Friday evening.
This troop has elected new patrlo
leaders and is in a good way to make
progress. Troop Five has been meet
ing regularly and reports progress.
Troop Six is new troop with Loren
wilkins as Scout Master, and bids
fair to be one of the best Troops in
town. They are working hard every
Monday evening, and already show
evidences of their training.
Liberal now has five active troops.
We should have one more to conform
to a recent ruling of the national or
ganization, that all councils of the
second class should have at least six
troops.
All of the Boy Scout Troops of Lib
earl are asked to be in the parade on
Armistice Day. A prize will be CIV
en- to the Troop making the best ap-
pearance.
The local Council has plans under
way at this time, which will provide
summer camping trip to all Boy
Scouts in the city. OF course this
wouldn't apply to boys who became
scouts just before the camping sea-
son. All boys of Scout age in Liberal
and vicinity are invited to join one
of these active troops. Get in now,
enjoy the privileges of the scouts now
and be ready for the camping trip
next summer.

A PERSONAL LETTER TO MY
FRIENDS AND TO THE VOTERS
OF SEWARD COUNTY.

Without my consent and over my
protest, some of my political friends
of Seward county placed my name on
the ticket for representative. After
duly considering the matter, about
the first of October, / concluded that
l would make an active campaign to
be elected, and asked my friends to
do what they could to help me bring
about my election. l have found a
great many people in this county, who
do not know me, or much of anything
about me; so, in order that the peo-
pie may know, l take this opportu-
nifty to give brief outline of myself.
, came to Seward county SO years
ago last April, took a claim in the
eastern part of the county, married a
Seward county girl the next year and
have been resident and voter of
Seward county ever since. cast my
first vote here in the fall Of 1886, and
have not missed vote since. All the
interests / have ever had have been
in Seward county. l have been a
taxpayer here for over thirty years;
have raised a family of eight children
and all of them have started and at
tended Seward county schools.
/ have always taken an active in
terest in politics and have always been
affiliated with the Democratic par
ty. While l have not always been
successful in my political aspirations
l have been twice elected and served
two terms as sheriff of this county,
and later served nearly eight years
as United States Marshal for the
State of Kansas.
l am now asking the people, to
as Representative, believing
that my wide acquaintance with pub
lie men and public measures, largely
acquired by my experience as Mar
shall of this State, fits me to represent
the people of my county in an eff
,ient, sound and businesslike manner.
Faithfully yours,
o. T. WOOD
Candidate for Representative.

what we are after, and what,
suppose the miners are after, Is to
honestly set forth and consider all
economic factors and, as speedily
az we can. adjust our differences

confronting us is that of perfecting

Denies Reports.
Mr.. Warmer denied published
reports that the miners had sought
to compromise or that the opera
tors had made the union men any
offer to recall the suspension order,
so that production might continue
under an agreement that the new
wage contract would be retroactive
to April 1.
1--WE tried. of course. to avoid
a suspension of work in the mines,
he said "but we have made no
overtures to the miners concerning
a retroactive agreement since the
unions in convention at Shamokin
last January decided to halt work
April l unless n new contract in
cooperating their demands for
higher wages had been negotiated
by that time"
Mr.. Warmer took occasion to
refute statements attributed to
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor at
Washington, to the effect that in
90 per cent OF the anthracite in
dustry, ownership of the mines,
