LIBERTY MUST BUILD
new SCHOOL OR LOSE
SCHOOL COMMISSION

LIBERTY, Ind, Jan. 13-In letter
from S. Leroy Scoles, assistant high
school inspector. Jan 4, local school
officials are informed that there is
no intention on the part of the state
department to renew the commission
of the Liberty high school unless
contract for a new building is let.
This means that definite action on
bond issue must be taken within the
next few months if the commission is
forthcoming. Architect Parker of
indianapolis has plans for the pro-
posed structure nearly completed and
he will formally present them before
local authorities soon. If his plans
are approved by the board here and
by the state authorities, the bond issue
will then be the paramount question.
Whether the bond issue can be made
without serious opposition by those
objecting to the measure here is con-
jectural. Those who have the inter
est of the schools at heart may be
strong enough to make an appeal to

POWER OF SILENCE
CITED BY FRIENDS
AS GOOD INFLUENCE

On the background of an expert
ence of more than $50 years, during
which the Quaker church has relied
upon silent waiting before God" as
the source of spiritual discernment,
its members, known as the Friends,
today still believe in the power of
silence. Walter C. Woodward, gen
eral secretary of the Five Years Meet
ing of Friends in America and editor
Of the American Friend in a statement
today said this religious group still
believes that the world may be puri-
fed and strengthened through the
power of living silence.
From the constnt clash and confu-
sion which distract it." he said. 'the
world must retire to the inner cham
Der of the unseen reality of the spirit,
ii peace and good will are to become
regnant.
'The world is now stirred as never
before with aspirations for world
brotherhood. To become fruitful, these
aspirations must be based upon the
will to peace. The attainment of this
will is primarily a spiritual, rather
than an intellectual process. 1t must
come through spiritual communion
with God.sand through Him with man.
the brother. Herein lies the power of
silence, through which we may be-
come in tune with the Infinite.
Living Silence
This is not the silence of seclusion
which would lead one from life's re-
possibilities to the introspection of
the monastic cell. 1t is what Friends
term living silence through which
men may become spiritually energized
for the great tasks of human better
ment.
Spiritual things cannot be discern
ed without quiet meditation the west
ern world is reminded by Sadhu Sun
dar Singh, the Hindoo-- seer. That
American churches are coming to rec
ognize this fundamental principle is
illustrated by the clarion call for
spaces of silence made by The
Churchmau, organ of the Episcopal
Church of America. At time when
the soul of America is being stirred TO
meet the need of the world, Friends
wish il for all friends of peace and
good will"

Geo. Erwin Konkel
For County Treasurer

To introduce Geo. Erwin Kon.
kel to Baca county Is like intro
ducing one to his own family.
There was q time In B ca
county wheh every oody knew
every ybody else, and hence G o.
Erwin Konkel and every body
else in the county In those days
knew each other.
Geo. Erwin was too young to
know straight mp when he moved
with his parents from Iowa t,
southeastern Kansas in 1871,
where he grew up on a farm TO
near manhood.
In 1896 the young man. then
in bis middle teens. moved wi h
bis parents to Baca county.
where he has been since, ex-
cepting q few years teaching
school In Kansas.
After attending a normal
business college in G-eat Bend,
Kans.. he turned his attention
to school teaching, and has
taught about thirteen years since
that time. he teaching when
$4,000 was high-weter wages.
When the surplus eastern set
tlement began for the secnnd
time to cross over the Kansas.
Colorado state line. the young
man took unto himself a Baca
county homestead. being then
blessed with a little family of
his own to help make a farm
home Of that homestead-about
ten to fifteen years later on.
About 1906 the young man
with q young family ran for
county clerk on the democratic
ticket. his republican opponent
being Elmer Lsmport.
The election was a tie,. aud in
casting lots Geo. Erwin won the
three tosses.
: At the end of his first term h e
made . second run for the place,
his opponent this time being
Eugene Whitaker, afterwards

This time he won the election by
about sixty votes. that being to
the population then about what

now.
About 1911 he bought the
