CORNER STONE WILL BE
LAID ON OCTOBER 18TH
Masonic Order Will Have Charge and
a Good Program Will Be
!. Rendered.

October 18th has been set as the
date Of the laying of the corner stone
of the new high school building, and
appropriate exercises are being plan
ned.
The Masonic Order will conduct
the ceremony, and G. s. Louks of La
kin, Kansas, has been delegated by
the Grand Lodge of Kansas to offic-
late.
Neighboring lodges will participate
in the exercises.
It is planned to make this a red
letter day in the history of Liberal.
The schools will join in a great
parade, it will start from the high
school building, led by the High
School band and Supt. Mahuron,
Co. Superintendent Emma Thomp-
son, Mayor W. v. Griffith, and one
member of the school board. The
parade will move from the High
School building south to Seventh St.,
and then west, where the Junior High
School will join them, thence west
to Pershing, to be joined by the Nc
Kinley school, then south to Second
street, and Joined by the Garfield
school, then east to Kansas avenue
and north to Fourth, and west to
Lincoln and north to the new build
ing which is being erected. The stone
will be laid in the southeast corner
of the building. The Masonic Order
will join the parade on Kansas ave-
nue.. Immediately after the address
of Mr.. Kurtz, there will be football
game at the Smith Athletic field be-
tween Liberal and Elkhrat.
Liberal citizens generally are ex-
pected to cooperate in every possible
way and help to make October 18th a
day long to be remembered here. No
town Of the size of Liberal in Kan
sas will have better building when
the present structure is completed,
and The Democrat feels sure that ev-
cry citizen will take pride in the
building.

to F. A. Lake, travelling salesman for
the G.. E. Potts Drug Co., Wichita,
for this territory. was stolen from in
front of his residence at Sic N. Lin
coin last Monday night. The officers
were Immediately notified but no
trace Of the missing car has been
found, and hopes for its recovery are
few.
There have been several cars stol-
en- in and around Liberal this sum-
mer and it seems that after they once
get away it is hard matter to run
down the thieves.

IlOI.
the fellows have it in them if they
keep working"
Mr.. Strickler comes from Kansas
Normal where he had some good foot
ball experience and he knows the
game thoroughly. The boys are
strong for him and The Democrat is
of the opinion that they will gladly
take any advice he may give them.
He believes in the gospel of hard
work and anyone who has made a
success, no matter in what line, knows
that hard work is the keystone to
SUCCESS.
Keep in the game boys, the town
is back of you as long as you do your
best.
The fellows showed lot of class
and it is doubtful if ever before such
a clever exhibition of forward passes
was staged. Call it luck or practice
or whatever. When two long passes
were completed, one after the other,
! the crowd went wild, and if the boys
continue to show such class in pass
ing, the Liberal team will be able to
beat anything in the country.
While their line bucking was a
feature of the game, the passing was
the big show. They put so much de-
termination into the game that moth
ing could stop them. At one time
a Hugoton player, who was fleet of
foot, got the ball and was racing for
the goal line, when Rutsy Gray COW
cred himself with glory and broke up
the play.
Zimmerman, Gray, Pearcy, Davis,
Latham, Reust, Hart and Reid were
much in the limelight, although every
player on the team is deserving of
special mention. Even little Dick
Farmer who went in as a substitute,
had part in the victory. Perhaps
we should mention all the good plays
and who made them, but we must con-
fess that when the reporter became
incensed at the referee, we missed
out on some of the plays, and then
another thing, it is hard to write notes
and watch the game. Alice Nichols
assisted as best she could, but Alice
is like the reporter-she gets inter-
ested and fails to report, so If we
missed anything just overlook it this
time and We'll do better next time.
The Hugoton fellows were good
sports and played nice, clean game.
They are going to make good in foot
ball and we hope to see more games
between these two teams.
However, we-do not agree with the
referee, who comes from Hooker. He
does not start out we'll at least. He
came near giving Hugoton touch
down for a trifle-becaus some lit
tie girls started roofing too soon af-
ter he had called them down. We
don't know how he gets that way, but
we do know that when he referees
on Kansas fields he will be more sue
cessful if he will treat the girls cour7
teously. Our girls are ladies, and
we resent the fact that they were
treated as hoodlums. There is
question at least as to whether they
started their yells too soon, but even
if they did, it was done innocently,
and we have followed the game in
Southwest Kansas for twelve years
an this is the first time we have ever
seen such ruling by referee. He
may get rough with the boys-they
can fight their own battles-but if
the tactics he used here Friday are
a part of his regular program, we
hope he will not return here to put
them into practice, for it makes us
sore.

USE MANY WOODSTOCK
TYPEWRITERS AT K. S. A. C.
In Departmental Journalism and Of
fices, Woodstocks Are Very
Numerous.

e. Leo Miller, formerly of the
Democrat force, now a student Of In
dustrial Journalism at X. S. A. c.,
writes his father, ]. B. Miller, as fol-
lows:
"The Journalism office here has
eleven typewriters and five Of them
are Woodstocks. There are two
typewriters in each of the offices,
and here, also, the Woodstock is
used. They think they are good ma
chimes for students, as they give them
much rough usage"
This speaks well for the Woodstock
Typewriter. To be selected for use
in a college where the use of type
writer is of great Importance, and
where they get lots of hard knocks is
a recommendation which cannot be
lightly passed over.
Liberal is fast becoming a Wood
stock town because the Woodstock is
making good wherever used II IN
need of typewriter call on the Lib
eral Typewriter Exchange, with the
Liberal Democrat, and have the
Woodstock demonstrated.
Dubois & Ravenscroft, the Kan
sas Avenue clothiers, have just pur-
chased a new Woodstock typewriter
of the Liberal Typewriter Exchange.

ed in the preceding section of this
article"
1t will thus be seen that before the
legislature can enact this law it must
first receive a majority vote of all
the votes cast at the coming Novem-
bre election. And in this connection
attention is called to the fact that the
law, to become operative, must not
only receive a majority of the votes
cast in favor of or against it, but
must receive a majority of all the
votes cast at the election.
To Not Vote ON This Propositios h
to Vote Against II
As the constitution provides that
to become law an act must receive
majority of all votes cast at that
election it will readily be seen that
If a voter ignores this proposition.
and does not vote either way, either
for or against it, then his or her vote
will count against it just as though
he or she had voted against it. 1t il
estimated that there will be at least
2.000votes cast in Seward county at
the coming election. In order that
this proposition will safely carry in
this county at least 100 votes must
be cast in its favor. If 990 should
vote in favor of the law and 600
should vote against it, while the bal
ance of the electors did not vote
either way, then the act would not
receive majority Of all votes east
and the measure would be lost. Re-
member this and when the ballot h
given you at the polls don't return
it unmarked but vote one way or Ne
other.

HAS i'COME BACK"
Man Of Fifty Need No Longer
Remain on the Shelf.
Formerly Chased az Elderly, He No"
Makes Strong Appeal 10 Girl on
LIES Threshold.

An attractive personality In the eyes
Of the Girl Of Twenty is the Man Of
+ Fifty. II is the attraction of the OPP
/ pOsite.
To girl who is just on the TIRES
hold Of life, the years OF the Man Of
Fifty make a strong appeal, writes
Girl Of Twenty Ia the Continental Ed
ton Of the London Mail. She lacks
the experience and knowledge Of the
world, and though she may not admit
II she realizes It, His presence acts
as an anOdyne. For a time she has
done with youth and her interests are
centered In those older than herself.
1t is often only passing phase, but
nevertheless 1t is very real one.
Miss Twenty is fattered that a man
many years her senior should find
pleasure In her society, For the at
traction is mutual
The Man Of Fifty is allured by the
unsophlstlcated outlook Of a young
girl. He is amused and Interested
and also, maybe, In her way fattered
II has always been thus, and ii is
natural that it should be 80. But new
err has the Man Of Fifty been apprecl-
ated as he Is today
Conditions have changed and the
Man Of Fifty has changed-or rather,
/ he has adapted himself to changed
conditions. Incidentally, It has been
/ the making Of him.
To- ~
and the annihliatlon Of so many young
er men, there was no place for the
Man Of Fifty. He was even too old
at forty" and at fifty he was reegated
/ TO his armchair.
Things have changed since then.
There are many gaps TO fill and the
Mau Of Fifty is still filling them--not
only in work, but also in play
In so doing he is recovering his
youth which he was in danger of los
ing. One has only TO take a look at
the modern ballroom to confirm this
There are many iron-gray heads there
They tell tales although the feet do
not give anything away. These fox
trots were not learned 20 years ago
they have been learned today and
learned we'll.
Thus In many ways Mr. Fifty meets
Miss Twenty on equal terms He is
not only guide, philosopher and friend
but also pal
He Is stlll active enough TO enjoy
games with her-lawn tennis and golf
are not too strenuous for him. They
might be SO TO a woman Of his own
age-that is where the girl scores
On the other hand, girl Of twenty
Is, In many ways. years older than a
hoy Of the same age He is still a boy
she is woman that is whore the
Man Of Fifty scores.
This Man OF Fifty is not always
married and II not ne is not always
staid and commonplace He has not
quite forgotten all about romance and
sometimes he is very romantic Then
he marries Miss Twenty. Is not that
the essence of romance?
