THE c. OF C. BANQUET
WAS WELL ATTENDED
Endorsed Swimming Pool, Fall Fes-
tival and Road Map PROPOSE
tion-Good Crowd Out.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Liberal Chamber of Commerce was
held last night with banquet at the
New Sanford Cafe, and was excep-
tionally well attended.
The program was terribly crowded
and the meeting interesting.
% The matter of swimming pool
was discussed and the club went on
record as being solidly for it. The
Fall Festival, which has been agitat-
ing the mind of DR. Beatty so long,
was given the unanimous endorse
ment of the club and the pledge Of
financial and moral support from ev-
cry member. The date will proba-
bly, be on October 10.
H. Hobble presented the road map
proposition worked out by Wiggly
Weidensaul and this was accorded a
unanimous vote of approval. This
map is different from anything yet
proposed and has been favorably re-
ceived by the towns all over the four
states included in its boundaries.
The secretary read a communica-
tion from the State Utilities Commits
sion relative to the application of the
Rock Island to take off trains 81
and 312. This was discussed at
length and referred to the railroad
committee with instructions to in
vestigate and if in their judgment
there was a chance to keep the trains
to file a protest. The removal of
these trains is going to hit Liberal
hard and it was the assumption that
they wuold be run between Herring
ton and Pratt rather than Pratt and
Liberal Most of us think the service
is needed on this end more than the
other and want the trains continued.
Two very pleasing vocal numbers
were given. H. Hobble, who can't
sing as well as he can talk, and "Wig-
gly" Weidensaul, who could sing If
he could keep from laughing, at
tempted and did, render a produc-
ton from the pen of Mr.. Weidensaul
boosting the X. & O. The song runs
something like this:
Tune: Casey James.
First Spasm-
Mr.. Walter Byers is great engineer,
He has been running for less than
year,
But there's one thing sure, and that
/ know
He always pulls the whistle on the
X. & o.
Chorus
The X. & o. is always a running,
The X. & o. it always will 60
The X. & O. is a great new railroad,
The X. & o., yes the X. & o.
Second Spasm-
"Sonny" Williams is an honorable
man,
He does the firing the best he can.
He heaves the coal to make the en-
gine go
And adds more pep to the X. G. o.
Chorus
Third Spasm-
o. P. Byers is the daddy of them all,
He hasn't done thing since way last
fall
But there's one thing certain since
the bonds did GO
He'll add more rails to the X, & o.
This elected much merriment in
which Weidensaul joined.
Then a bunch of Lions led by
F. o. Rindom, sang very noisy
song about some girl and some clans,
which brot down the house. I
Many committee reports were
heard and other matters discussed at
more or less length.
G. L. Light made q splendid talk
on cooperation which was well re-
ceived and should be needed by every /
citizen out Of town. It was get
together talk right from the shoul-
der and we are of the opinion that
every one Of us could take some
part of it home.
M. Pellettier, the new owner OF
the Sanford Cafe, did himself proud
in this, his first attempt at serving
a banquet in Liberal, and there could
be no fault found with the bill or
the service.
