equipped. That is no valid argument
We never will get any franchise
which will be acceptable to all the PEG
pie of the city. No such document has
ever been written so far as we ever
heard, yet we cannot hold back wait
ing for something to happen" which
may" happen and which again may
not.
Liberal needs people if we are to
make city. We must have some in
ducements to offer Them to have them
come here. Every town in southwest
Kansas can make the same claim we
can-but if in addition to the other in
ducements we can include natural gas
for cooking and heating, we have
something which NO other town west
of Hutchinson can offer. That is
worth something, as we have talk
ing point no one can equal and we
have the best of the argument.
We wish the people of Liberal would
get down and study this proposition
for themselves from a strictly bust
ness standpoint. Lay aside what some
one else might do, and conditions
which might arise and consider this
from today's condition and the effect
it will have on the future of the town.
The gas proposition is not dead is
sue; it may never get as far as, a city
campaign, we hope not, but every cit
izen owes the same duty to get posted
and be able to speak for himself.

From Tucumcari American:
The Standard Petroleum force is
tied up waiting for 8-inch casing
which will be set at about $500 feet.
The drill has been running in brown
shale, changing into lime. A little
water showing up Saturday brought
the decision to set S-inch in order to
avoid any trouble from water that
might cause caving in open hole. The
