The Connecticut plan. rs outlined in the
news accounts is not essentially unlike that
which southern tobacco planters have ap-
proved as the only means OF making their
industry stable and secure. Modes OF pro-
cedure are, in any case, secondary; the key
note there rs here. is cooperation, and re-
ports indicate that the New Englanders
have united soldly for the demonstration.

GOVERNMENT AEROPLANE
LANDING FIELD READY
Boy Scouts Again Demonstrate Their
Readiness and Willingness to
Assist in Good Causes

The government landing field loca-
ted in South Liberal on the Baugh-
man land is being prepared for the
first government planes which will
probably stop at Liberal during the
month of April.
This field is located west vf Kansas
Avenue just south of the pavement,
and consists of about eighty acres
which is being leveled as to make
safe landing for the numerous gov
ernment and commercial planes which
will use this field during the summer.
A large concrete circle sixty feet
in diameter is located in the center
of the field which circle can be seen
from great height which will indicate
to all pilots of planes that the field is
a safe place to land.
A crew of fifteen Boy Scouts under
the supervision of Herbert Dir and
Ben Meyers put in the day Saturday
preparing this field and anyone who
could see the enthusiasm and pep
with which the Boy Scouts tackle a
tough proposition, they would readily
understand how Che Scout organiza-
ton has grown to be the large Ma
tional organization which it now is,
and any parents should be proud to
have their boys join up with other
boys that accomplish things.
The following boys were assisting
in the work:
Clifford Walker, Herman Shorb
Glen Yarberry, Dick Sexton, Pau
Grey, Harvey Mcpherson, Dick Zim
norman, Kenneth Hase, Alton Cole
Robert Baughman, Walter Potter
Kermit Hill, Harlond Stevens, War
rem Hill and j. r. Jordan.

SEEK AID IN MAKING
ROAD IN BEAVER COUNTY
Much Work to be Done on Roae
Across Beaver County in the
Near Future

County Commissioner A. G. Daniel
was here from Beaver county We'd
nesday, consulting the Chamber of
Commerce regarding some road work
to be done on the road south out of
Liberal
Mr.. Daniel says the contract has
been let for grading the road en-
tirely across Beaver county to the
Texas line, but that the budget did
not include the cost of filling several
low places. He was. asking some of
the business men If it would be pos
sible for Liberal to raise some money
to complete the work. 1t seems that
the budget for grading the road used
all the available funds for this par
ticular section and that there was
not enough to really complete the
work.
Mr.. Daniel will return and take
the matter up with the Chamber of
Commerce at later date. 1t would
seem to us that Liberal could afford
to lend some assistance in getting
this road in the best possible con-
dition and we would be willing to do
our part that this be accomplished.

ROTARY CLUB
Yours very truly,
o. P. Byers, President.

Tuesday luncheon was changed to the
ladies' night, and all the Rotaryanns
were there, and they were good to
look upon. The dinner was one of Man
ayers Mass best, and fifty people had
a good time. Joe Fuest was the gen.
ial chairman and called for reports
from the nine Rotarians who attended
the Convention at Muskogee. Pres
ident Jack Evans had assigned each
of them to different Round Tables and
each was called on for report of his
particular part of the progrm. AS each
one finished the chairman reminded
them that something had been left out
and lot of joshing made lot Of fun.
Twenty-Five women saw their sedate
. and serious minded husbands could
play when out with the boys.
| The reports were interesting and
covered the following subjects, optlin-
ing the policy found best adapted to
the needs of the older clubs:
Frank Boles on Entertainment, Paul
Light on Boys Work, Jack Evans on
Presidents Meeting, Sam Miller on
Rural Acquaintance, Joe Fuest on rep
Meeting, Joe Trindle on international
Jim Aut on Fellowship, and Charley
Rro,.n IN Education
A large measure of the enjoyment
of the evening was due to the artis-
tic work of the Liberal Orchestra
which is composed Of the following
members, Fern Ellsaesser,, piano;
Charlotte Gasaway and Anna Mertz,
violin; Helen Boles, saxaphone, Les
ter Ellsaesser, comet; and Frank
Highland, traps. Their selections were
pleasing, skilfully rendered and had
"pep and go". Many feet marked time.

praise for its versatility and muical

but were glad the Rotaryanns were
there to help. Every Rotaryaan vot-

can get to these functions"

AL. NELSON is STILL
CRITICALLY ILL

Liberals good booster, AL. Nelson,
is still seriously i'll at his home on
North Washington. AL has had a
strenuous time for several weeks, and
at several times il looked like it would
be impossible for him to recover.
However, his wonderful constitution
enabled him to withstand the ravages
of disease and at this time he is
much better, though still seriously
ill.,
Mrs. Nelson's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. V. S. Latham, have come from
Oklahoma City to assist in caring for
AL, and since coming they have de-
cided to locate here. They are ac-
companied by their two daughters,
Misses Clarice and Lois Latham.
The Democrat is glad to say AL
good friend to Liberal and his ser
vices were in demand. We are also
is improving, for he proved himself a
pleased to know that the Latham
family are to become residents Of
our town.

A. P. HIGHWAY OFFERS ALL-YEAR
ROUTE, EAST AND WEST, VIA SOUTH

winter months to enjoy the delightful
climate in that state, and folks who
go to Florida, go there to spend the
winter. Folks go north, to the
mountains, to the Great Lakes, At
lantic City, during the summer honths
but SO per cent of the people taking
vacations at the last named places
do not go by auto.
These facts are proof that the trav-
elers who use autos travel as much
nowadays in the winter months as
during the hot summer time. This is
one of the many reasons the A. p.
Highway will be one of the most
valuable highways in the United
States. It follows a southern route
and escapes the deep SHOWS Of the
northern route now established This
is why both the West and East are
so interested in the new highway.

o. J. WILKINS BUYS A
STORE AT DALHART
Will Move There and Conduct the
Business-Loren Wilkins to
Remain in Charge Here

o. j. Wilkins of the wilkins Jew
elry store, announces that a deal is
being closed whereby he becomes
owner of the H. C. Coleman jewelry
store at Dalhart, Texas, and that he
will move his family to that place as
soon as school closes here.
Loren wilkins will have charge of
the Liberal store, and a first-class
matchmaker will be employed to as
sist in the business.
The store at Dalhart is the only
one in the city and carries a $4,000
stock, and 0. j. will also act as Rock
Island watch inepector at that place.
Loren has purchased a half-interest
in the Liberal store, and the pur-
chase of the Dalhart store will give
each of the brothers active charge
of business.
o. j. wilkins, when interviewed by
a Democrat reporter, said: "Of course
| regret to leave Liberal, but business
is business, and my brother has been
with me long enough that we each
felt he should have an interest in
the firm. We feel that with the two
stores we will be able to buy to bet
ter advantage and that the change
will be beneficial to ourselves and
the public alike"
We all regret to see o. j. leave
for he has been a consistent booster
for Liberal, and he and Mrs. Wilkins
stand high in the estimation of the
people of the city, but the Democrat
and all their friends will wish them
we'll in their new location.
Loren wilkins has been with the
store here since returning from the
service, and is thoroughly conver'
SAINT with the business, so it will b'
in capable hands, and will be able
to maintain the prestige it has at
tanned through long and successful
service to the people of Liberal anc
the Southwest.

JENNIE KARAU GOES
TO CALIFORNIA
Popular Business Woman Has An Ex-
cellent Position in the Sunny
Land of Promise

Jennie Karau, one of Liberals
most capable business women, left
Friday for Kansas City to complete
arrangements for taking splendid
position in California, where she will
make her home indefinitely.
1t is with regret that the Demo
crat tells of the departure of Mrs.
Karau, for she has been identified
with the business and social interests
Of the city SO long that her going
means real loss to the city.
She has a large circle of friends
who wish her success and happiness
in California and who will be glad
to welcome her back any time the
call of Kansas becomes too strong
to resist.
