A TOWNS SOLID CITIZEN

In every town the people who are
relied upon to support the best in
terests of the community are usually
those who are found in the church
of their choice regularly on Sun
day morning. Why not emulate
Christ's example and go to church
every Sunday. Bring your children
to Sunday school; do not send them.
Learn what the Bible says about your
relation to others. 1t will make a
happier household and a pleasanter
life. The people Of our town who
are relied upon to make the greatest
sacrifice for the welfare of the com
munity go to church.
The Presbyterian Church will well
come you next Sunday and will be
glad to share its blessings with you.
Worship of God, II and 1880.
Sunday school at 9;45. !.
Christian Endeavor at $50.
Come and worship with us.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
TO MEET MONDAY NIGHT
Lack of Quorum Prevented Meeting
Wednesday and Adjournment
Was Taken

1t begins to look as if Liberal was
to have well-organized Associated
Charities, at least the movement is
we'll under way at this time and the
organization will be perfected Monday
night. A meeting was scheduled for
Wednesday afternoon but too many
other things were going on, and ad-
journment to the later date was deem
ed advisable.
Each of the churches and civic or
ganizatons have elected representa-
tives on the board and membership
campaign will be inaugurated as soon
as final plans are worked out.
1t is expected to raise sufficient
money to handle all charities neces-
sary without soliciting for individual
cases.
This is move in the right direction
and while it may take little time to
get the organization to functioning
properly, ,.in the end it will be valu-
able asset to the city.

CHAS. TAYLOR SAW
PICTURES IN MAKING
Heard Art Hickman Orchestra and
Saw Other Interesting Things
in California

Chas. D. Taylor came in rather
Unexpectedly Tuesday morning from
Southern California, where he has
been with Mrs. Taylor, .Tho has been
quite i'll.
Chas. tells of many interesting
things he saw while in the land of
sunshine. ~
He visited Venice, Ocean Park,
Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Culver
City, Hollywood and Los Angeles.
He says the big towns are very close
together out there, so it is easy to
visit them.
While there he saw little Jackie
Coogan making a picture. A police
man was carrying him into house
marked "Orphans' Home" and little
Jackie was ragged and dirty. How
ever, after it was ovtr and the cam
era ceased to click, Jackie came out
and got into a car as big as truck,
and had two or three attendants look
ing after his comfort. He also saw
the dog whicr appears in the pictures
60 up to the door and scratch and
try to get in the house.
He saw the studios where Gold
wyn, Paramount, Fox, and Chester
comedies are made, and saw the cow
boys and Indians finish picture and
get into their cars and leave for
home. 1t was all very interesting,
and sometimes funny, according to
Mr.. Taylor.
At one time during his visit he
visited the Ambassador Hotel and
heard Art Hickman's orchestra play
ing. Charlie says it was some hotel,
but the music was just about as it is
reproduced on the graphophone, and
was fine at that.
However, he seemed glad to again
meet his Liberal friends and we're
of the opinion that he had just about
as soon be in Liberal as Los Angeles

ROTARY NEWS

When lunch time came Tuesday,
everybody asked: "Where is Jack
Evans? We can't eat till he comes,
but Frank Boles stepped up and said
he would lead them out, and so all
got to eat on time. 1t turned out
that Jack had friend who was going
to ride goat over in Elkhart, and he
couldn't resist the desire to go and
see it done. He and Ernest came in
after pie was served.
The committee on Associated
Charities read the proceedings and
plan of the general committee called
to form the organization, and the
club approved the report. The Rus
sian famine situation was then taken
up, and the club decided not to take
separate action, but for each member
to help the regular committees in any
way they could, and endorsed the
movement unanimously.
The mayor had requested the
chairman to name a member of the
Rotary to act on the Park Commits
sion, but he decided to offer the
names of three members from which
the mayor might choose one.
The chairman appointed Warren
Zimmerman to act as chairman at
the next meeting.

-FOUR HORSEMEN" AND
'THE SHEIK" BIG PICTURES
Tucker Theater Put on Two Fine Pho.
toplays During Past
Week

"The Four Horsemen of the Apo
caypse" Friday and Saturday nights,
and the "Sheik" Monday and Tuesday
nights, at the Tucker were two of the
best pictures Liberal has had the OPP
portunity of seeing.
"The Four Horsemen" was doped
as one of the biggest if not the big
picture of the past year, and it was all
that was expected. 1t came nearer
living up to the advertising than any
special feature shown in Liberal in
long time.
"The Sheik" with the same star was
good one, and while it was not as
big a picture as the "Four Horsemen"
many liked it equally as well.
Both were the highest type Of pic
ture drama and Liberal is indeed for
tunate in having the opportunity OF
seeing them.

LIBERAL GAS STRONG
IN HEATING QUALITIES
Chemical Analysis of Product of
Big Gas Well Shows
1000 B.. T. u.

Through the courtesy of H. M
McQuigg of the McQuigg Investment
Company, principal operators in the
Liberal field, the Democrat is able
this week to give the results of a
chemical analysis of the gas found
in the well on the Boles farm west
Of Liberal.
The analysis is as follows:
Ethane II per cent plus; methane
81 per cent; nitrogen, hydrogen and
carbon dioxide, per cent.
This analysis was made by Smith,
Emery & Company, chemical engi-
neers and metalurgists of Los An
geles, California, from samples sub
mitted by Mr. McQuigg.
It is a we'll known fact that gas
from wells producing gas only, as
found throughout most of the mid
continent territory, contains little or
no Ethane, being. composed almost
entirely of Methane, which is COM
monty known as marsh gas.
Ethane is one of the heavier hy-
dro- carbons found in rich petroleum
gas and is a principal constituent
of gasoline. Gasoline in commercial
quantities can be and has been con-
densed from the gas from the Lib
eral district.
Relatively, the Liberal gas is su-
perior to most natural gas produced
in the mid-continent field, when it
is considered that the average con-
tent of Ethane is only approximately
one per cent, as against more than
eleven per cent for the Liberal gas.
The test made by the same firm
and also the State University De-
T. U. as 1000. Meaning that the
partment of Chemistry, give the B,
heat units found in this gas runs
1000 to the foot The significance
Of this average is best understood
when it is known that artificial gas
commonly known as producers gas,
contains approximately 800 B. T.
U. to the foot.
It will be seen that this gas is
especially valuable as a producer
Of heat for domestic or industrial
uses, and because of its high heating
value, will be an economical fuel.
Another thing to be taken into
consideration in regard to the anal
ysis, is the fact that the sample was
taken from the well after it had been
drowned out for several nonths, and
it is likely that a later test would
have shown up to even better ad-
vantage.

Chapter No. 65, Royal Arch Masons,
j. N. Evans was presented with a
Past High Priests Jewel in apprecia-
tion of the excellent work he did
while occupying that office the past
year. The jewel, itself, is beautiful,
but is appreciated as much for the
spirit in which it was given as for
the beauty, itself.
]. G. Ault was also presented with
a very beautiful secretary's apron
as a token of appreciation Of his
faithful service as secretary, and Mr..
Ault prizes it highly. This, too, is
a very beautiful token.

RELIEF IN VOLGA
VALLEY OF RUSSIA

Children are dying in the hospitals
in Russia at the rate of 10000 per
day. The only diet for fifteen mil
lion people is cakes made of dried
grass, leaves and twigs stuck togeth-
er by glue and gelatin boiled from
the hoofs of horses found dead over
the country.
The conditions have become such
that cannabalism is being practiced,
dead bodies are piled ten feet high
at the doors Of the hospitals, and
guards are being kept there to keep
the starving from eating the flesh
of their dead kinsmen.
Seward county and surrounding
trade territory is sending carload
of flour to the stricken country. A
barrel of flour costs $4.20, and will
save two lives until after next har-
vest. Deposits can be left at the
banks, elevators, and produce houses.
Everyone is urged to give something
to this crying need.
Transportation is paid by the Am
erican Friends Service Committee.
Every pound of -four donated is guar
anteed to be delivered to the Volga
Valley. The Friends have charge
of the relief there, but it is under
the American Relief Administration.
