our motives or to accept responsibility
for our influence, but this is possible
only for time, Sooner or later, at
some turn of the road, we are bound to

preme Architect of the Universe to
call from labor to rest our dearly be-
loved brother, Charles M. Treece,
who died on Saturday, June "a, A.
D. 1922 A. L. 5922, it becomes in
| cumbent upon us to in our humble
way pay fitting tribute to his
memory.
Brother Charles M. Treece was
born in the State Of Illinois on the
Sth day of November, 1874, and re-
moved with his parents to the State
of Missouri at an early age. For "a
aumber Of years past he was ca
gagged in the profession of phar-
macist, conducting his own business
in flourishing and prosperous
manner in the city of Steele, Mis-
souri,; he had also for a number Of
years last past been president Of th'
Bank of Steele.
Brother Treece received Masonic
Degrees in Cecil Lodge of Cotton
wood Point, Missouri, afterwards
becoming member of Steele Lodge
No. 634. being charter member
thereof He served the latter lodge
as senior and junior deacon and also
as senior warden. On June IA,
1922, he was elected Worshipful
Master, Just fourteen days before his
death, but had not been installed in
to Office.
Brother Treece was also a men,
ber of the Charlottesville Chapter OF
Royal Arch Masons.
From an acquaintance OF more
than twenty years, and from almost
daily association with him during.
all that time, your committee can
say with sincerity and truth that
never a better man and Mason
lived than Charles NJ. Treece; he
was quiet, honest, sincere, an excel
lent neighbor and true friend to
the widow and orphan; his contri-
buttons to charity were manifold
and various, but everything done by
him was accomplished in the quiet
and unassuming manner for which
he was noted.
He made and occupied a place in
the community and in the hearts or
his brethren which will be very
difficult matter indeed, to fill.
Brother Treece was never married
and left surviving him to mourn his
death, beside a host of friends, his
father, three brothers and two sis
ters.
Therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That in the death of
Brother Charles NJ. Treece, his fami-
ly has lost a devoted son and broth
er. the Lodge faithful and useful
member, and the community all
honest and upright citizen.
Resolved, That we will ever bear
in grateful remembrance the zeal
and fidelity with which Brother
Treece discharged all his Masonic
duties, and will try to initiate his
devotion to the great principles OF
our fraternity.
Resolved, That we tender our
heartfelt sympathy to the bereavea
family and recommend them to the
care of that God whom Brother
Treece served and in whom ne
trusted.
He lived in a house by the side of
the road,
"And he was friend to man."
Resolved, That copy of these
resolutions be spread upon our min
utes and an engrossed copy be sent
to the family of our deceased broth
er, and copy of the same be fur
nished the press for publication

BE REGISTER OF DEEDS
w. w. Antrim Announces Candidacy
in Republican Primaries for
County Recorder

W. w. Antrim, at present county
commissioner, this week announces
his candidacy for the office of Reg
ister of Deeds of Seward County.
Mr.. Antrim has made good commits
sioher and feels that he is qualified
to handle the work in the Registers
office. If he is as faithful to the in
terests of the county in this office
as he has been as commissioner, it
is safe to say he would make a good
official in that position.
There is not lot we can say about
Mr. Antrim as most everyone knows
him better than we do, but we ask
for him the consideration bf the
voters to which he is entitled.

MANAGE OF THE A. p.
HIGHWAY HERE TUESDAY
Was Collecting Annual Dues and
Met With Good Success
In Seward County

W. B. Kinkead, manager of the At
lantic Pacific Highway, was in Lib
eral Tuesday collecting the annual
dues from the membership of the as
sociation. Finishing the work here
in short time, accompanied by Sec
retary King Of the Chamber of Com
merce, County Engineer 10. D. Ber-
wick, and the Democrat man, Mr..
Kinkead went to Arkalon to meet W.
C. Stout of the Arkalon CONNER
cial club. This gentleman was on
his way to Liberal, but went back
to Arkalon, and in the Stout car the
party went on to Kismet where col
lections were made with very salts
factory results. Then the trip was
made to Plains and some of the
boosters interviewed.
The A. P. from Liberal to Plains
is in very good shape, considering
the recent heavy rains, and there was
noticeably large amount of drag
ging going on and some nice jobs OF
grading"
It has for long time been the
thing to refer to the bad roads Of
Seward County, but drive from
Liberal to Plains will convince any
one that there is lot of interest
being taken in road work and that
in the course of a very short time
Seward county will have as good
roads as any of our neighborine
counties
If everyone had the vision OF
w. C. Stout, this could be realized
sooner. Stout owns lot of coun'
try around Arkalon, and out of his
own pocket pays for a lot of road
work.
Mr.. Kinkead was we'll pleased witt
the condition of the road and the
promises of the future in relation
to Americas greatest highway-th'
Atlantic Pacific.

NORTH WELL Is GETTING
SOME GOOD BACKING NOW
E. J. Skaer Shows Some Very In
teresting Evidence That Will
Start Soon

E. ]. Skaer, who is in charge of
Seward County Oil & Gas Company,
Is meeting with remarkable success in
the stock selling campaign for the
disposing of the stock and at the
present rate says he will be able to
start drilling by the first Of June.
Mr.. Skaer is taking subscriptions
with the understanding that if not
enough stock is sold to finish the well
he will not call for the money, and
under this plan the people Of Lib
eral and surrounding country are
making liberal subscriptions.
Since it is known that the west test
is a sure 60, the folks are more than
ever anxious to see the Seward
County Oil & Gas Company test
drilled to the three thousand foot
depth, and they are showing this de-
sire in the way they are taking hold
of the stock of the company.
It is the theory that if two wells
be brought in at such distance
from each other, it will at once prove
this big field and that instead Of
waiting a year or two for play,
the territory between the two will be
drilled Immediately after oil is found
in the two tests.
The Democrat reporter read let
ter few days ago from E. G. War
fell whom we consider one of the
best biologists in the country, and
in this letter Warfel expresses the
same opinion he expressed to us
when the Traders Company first
started work here, that this is to be
a great oil field. In fact, the predic-
tions made by Warfel at that time
have proven out and since few geol-
ogists have made the expensive in
vestigations here that Warfel has, we
feel that he is in good position to
know whereof he speaks.
The Democrat is pleased to see the
people of this section get back Of the
Seward County Oil & Gas Company,
and we hope that sufficient encour-
agement is given to get the drill
started by the time anticipated
Skaer has worked hard in the stock
selling campaign; the company is Of
fering square proposition and the
people can well give the company the
backing it takes to make the test a
success.

A NEW MANUFACTURING AND
WHOLESALE BUSINESS STARTS
Evans Harness and Manufacturing Company,
Strictly Wholesale, Is New Firm
Starting Business This Week

While it has been known to the
Democrat man for sometime that
plans were under way for new
wholesale and manufacturing busi-
ness to be started in Liberal, IL Is
only this week that we are author
lied to announce the new institu-
ton.
The Evans Hardware & Manufac-
turing Company is the title Of the
new firm, and Ernest Evans is to be
the manager, with Offices in the
Evans building, over the Duckwan
store.
The new firm will not be connect
ed with the Evans Harness Company,
that firm being a corporation, while
the new firm is not. A manager
will be employed for the local store
of the Evans Harness Company.
The new firm has secured the east
portion Of the Summers-Larrabee
warehouse on the Rock Island tracks
in South Liberal as a wholesale
house, and for storing the shipments
which will come in car lots.
Collars, pads, etc, will be pur-
chased in car lots, but the harness
and strap work will all be manufac-
tured here. Other lines such as
saddlery, hardware, sporting goods,
etc., will be handled in the regular
jobbers manner, being bought direct
from manufacturers and distributed
from the company warehouse here.
Liberal is an ideal location for
such an institution, and Mr.. Evans
says they are being heartily encour-
aged by a number of the large manu-
featuring concerns of the country.
The Evans Harness company pur-
chased their present retail business
in Liberal in 1917, Business was good
and they later established branches
at Elkhart, Kansas, and Perryton,
Texas, with much success, Then the
idea of a wholesale and manufacture
ing business engaged their attention
and for several months preparations
have been going on in this direction,
and at this time they are ready to
start the business which will mean
lot, not only to Liberal, but the
Southwest in common.
During the time the firm has been
in business they have built up an en-
viabe reputation for square dealing
and this will follow them to their
new business, and make it success
/ from the start.
J./N. Evans and E. A. Evans are
well known over the country and
have given their patrons good SER
vice at all times and Liberal is to
be congratulated that they have seen
fit to engage in business which is
of greater scope and of greater bene-
fit to the city.
The Democrat sincerely wishes
the new firm the success it predicts
for them an commends them to the
buyers of the Southwest.
