HELD UNDER TREE
NEARLY HALF DAY

VIM. Preston, an old workman in
the employ of the Stonebraker-Zea-
Ranch Company, was the victim of
most painful accident yesterday. He
lives at the old Thomas ranch house,
and went down to the big grove on
the Beaver to work up some wood in
the morning. He cut good sized
tree, and through some mishap was
caught under it when it fell.
When he did not arrive at the
house at noon it was thought that he
was doing some extra work, and when
about four o'clock another workman
found he had not returned he became
worried and rode to the grove, find
ing Mr.. Preston in this predicament.
He removed the tree and rode to the
nearest point where he could get a car
warning others as he went to phone
for a doctor at once. With the aid
of others the victim was brought to
the ranch house, where DR.. Hayes ar
rived almost the same time.
DIR. Hayes states that the bones of
the right leg from just below the
knee clear to the ankle are so badly
crushed that he does not believe they
can be saved and the old gentleman
is really in serious condition. He
dressed the break as well as he could
and recommnded that he be taken to
the hospital at Dalhart as quickly as
possible for care. From the best that
can be learned, Mr.. Preston was pin
ned down by the tree from about IL
o'clock until the hour he was found.
Mr.. Preston says he has no rela-
tives he knows of. He has lived at the
ranch and with j. D. Pierce most Of
the time since he has been in this
section of the country-GuymOn

HAVE YOU OBSERVED

That sometimes the worst thing
you can do is to praise. man.
That one kind of fame is to get
your name in the papers as one who
recommends some kind of patent
medicine.
That a successful man is one who
knows what he can do is not afraid
of it.
That plain woman seldom needs
chaperone, as she is generally safe
anywhere.
That sometimes life is what we
make it and at other times it is what
someone else makes it for US.
That when some men have found
themselves, they haven't found much.
That smile is quite appreciative
for both summer and winter wear.
That like some men, waves come
to the sea shore in great style and go
away broke.
That the man who rides a hobby
thinks he is entitled to the middle Of
the road.
That FOOLS money and wise man
are soon united.-Exchange.

GOOD ROADS

A Democrat representative at
tended the Wheat Show at Wichita,
Kansas, the last of the week, driving
through in Ford Sedan. One has
to take but one trip like that to be-
come "good roads convert" We
encountered all kinds of roads
good, bad and Indifferent but we
had the greatest variety in Seward
county. There are two miles of hard
road about eight miles north of Lib
eral that are practically as good as
any we drove over, except the con-
crete roads near Wichita, but one
should have little joy-riding after
having to pull the sand from Liberal
to that good piece of road near the
river. We say it frankly, but shame
fully, that the seven miles of road
north of our own home town, is the
meanest road of the $50 miles from
Liberal to Wichita.
Kingman county, and our neighbor
county, Meade, have the best roads
and it was not necessary to have
county line signs to tell us when we
were going from Kingman county in
to Sedgwick, or from Meade county
into Seward. The roads told the
story. Seward county would get val
ne received as an advertising medium
alone, if she would spend little on
, that road north Of Liberal, to bring
it up to standard, to say nothing OF
the saving to motorists in gas, oil and
wear on cars.

BROKE TWO WHEELS
OFF FORD SEDAN

Mrs. W. H. Burnett, wife of the
Superintendent of the Guymon Light
and Power Plant, had very narrow
escape from serious injury on the
road between Guymon and Goodwill
last evening. She had made trip to
Texhoma, and was returning, when
evidently something happened to the
steering gear of the Ford Sedan she
was driving, and it carooned over to
the embankment on the left side OF
the road, turning over on its side, and
breaking the two wheels on the left
side of the car to pieces. Mrs. Bur

THE SOLDIER BONUS

When you go to the polls to vote
on November 7th you will have an
opportunity to vote whether or not
the State Of Kansas shall pay the
soldier boys 81 per day for each day
that they were in the service.
While The Democrat believes the
Federal government should have set
tied the bonus matter by giving the
soldier boys well-deserved compen-
sation, but politics proved stronger
than patriotism and the aid was not
forthcoming.
Now we, as citizens Of Kansas,
will have an opportunity Of doing
what the Federal government failed
to do. 1t is necessary to vote on the
question and we hope that everyone
will consider the boys who went to
the service ahead of thei rown per-
sonal interests. OF course if we vote
to compensate the soldiers we will
have to pay it, but we consider it a
duty we owe, and an obligation we
have no right to 'shirk.
Vote for the soldiers bonus on
Novmeber 7th.

Declares Other Organs
May Be Transplanted

PARIS. June 19.-Dr. Serge Voro-
noff's monkey gland experiments have
led to the startling discovery that ap-
parently it is possible to transplant
all the vital organs of a chimpanzee
to humans.
Already I am using four different
glands from every champanzee re-
ceived from Africa, notably thyroid
glands for weak-minded children and
interstitial glands for the rejuvenation
of the aged" said DR.. Voronoff "All
chimpanzee glands which 1 have trans
planted have thrived so we'll in the
human body that have tried lesser
organs which also are thriving we'll
am experimenting now on major
organs and l expect to announce soon
that man may have any new organ.
THE chimpanzee is the only species
OF the monkey that can be used, it
being wonderfully like a human. The
organs are Identical and the bloods
are indistinguishable. Chimpanzees
aTe now costing $500 each"
DR.. Voronoff himself bears the en-
tire cost Of the rejuvenation opera
tons since he inherited more than
$5,0O0.000 from the estate of his wife,
who was Fanny Bostwick, the daugh-
ter of Jabez Bostwick. OF New York.
Dr. Voronoff said that only the
scarcity Of chimpanzees has prevented
his performing daily operations in his
Paris laboratory. as he has a long
waiting list.
