turned sealed verdict in favor Of
Mars Pickford. screen star. boz the
suit for S10s. 600 for alleged breach
Of contract brought by Nrs Clara
O.. Widening.

dav or Friday for the coast.
The ue. according 90 the Jddge,
rested iu the conflicting stories Of
the methods Mary used in 1916 to
get Adolph luxor 20 raise her salary
from $4,000 "A week 20 10000.
Mrs. Widening. whose business
is than of locating jobs and better
salaries for people who live hy
amusing others. claimed that IL WAS
she who persuaded SIR Zukor %

screen star came 20 her and told
about hearing that Charlie Chaplin
was making "A million dollars year

pOut were worth just as much as

According 10 Mrs Widening s
story 10 was agreed that she would
sally forth and get other producers
20 bid for Mary's services which
would force ZukOr 20 raise the ante,
and then she would get 10 per cent
commission on the new contract.
Thus. she claimed S10S,000 as her
commission and extra charges be-
cause Mary got a 10000 a week

cause it would lend her prestige.
Wednesday Mrs. Wilkenning's law

Two innocent women have been

Local and county police have

All the evidence they have to

A Correction

In our advertisement. which ap-
peared In this newspaper on De-
cember LIST, in which we featured
a sale Of trimmed coats at
S29.95. among the materials men
toned was "MARVELLA" and
"GERONA." The mention Of these
materials was an error.
"MARVELLA" and "GERONA"
are exclusive products OF the
Forstmann & HUFFMAN Company,
of Passaic y. j.. and are protected
under these distinctive names by
duly registered trade marks.
"MARVELLA" and "GERONA"
are fabrics OF superior quality. and
therefore, coats made of the genu-
Inc fabrics could not be sold at
500 95. nor did we have on sale
''MARVELLA" and "GERONA"
coats at this price.
II any OF our customers pur-
chased a coat at S2995. under the
impression that Il was made of
"MARNELLA" or CORONA" we
are ready to make amends by re-
funding the purchase price, upon
return of the garment with the
sales slip.
We regret this incident and ten

REPRESENTATIVE RACE
IS WELL UNDER WAY

The representative contest in
Seward county is well under way, and
o. T. Wood, Democratic candidate, is
gaining friends each day.
Mr.. Wood is talking tax reduction ;
adjustment of useless boards and
with everything not needed in the
proper conduct of the business of the
state land relieve the tax burden of
the people.
To Democrat reporter Mr.. Wood
said: 81 am not promising to do a
lot for Seward county if elected; do
not know that I can do anything for
the county; that the county needs
any special legislation at this time.
However, | believe that can be of
service in endeavoring to rid the peo-
pie of lot of useless tax burdens,
and if I can do this l believe that I
will be rendering a real service"
The opposition candidate in Sew
ard county is promising much the
same thing, but does it look just right
to see the claim to stand for abolish
ing useless boards and commissions
when the candidate is a member of a
commission that might easily come
within the meaning of the term?
The farmers and laboring people
the people who pay all the taxes
might like to know just how much
benefit the "School Code Commits
sion" is going to be to them. Kan
sas has always had very good school
laws. The State Teachers Assn. has
been looking after the school laws,
and certainly is competent to do so.
Then why is it necessary to have a
commission of citizens to work over
the school laws?
To the uninitiated it looks like this:
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1922-10-12

While the legislature was passing out
the pie there were not enough places
to go round, so few "boards" and
Commissions" were needed. They
were created and members appointed.
We understand that the "School Code
Commission" members draw $40 per
day and per diem while attending
meetings, and members claim that un-
less they are returned to the legis-
lature the school laws are going to
be foully dealt with by the politicians.
We do not believe that any Kan
sas legislature will destroy the school
system of Kansas. Not for min
ute. And we further believe that our
schools will continue to function
without school code commission.
We. favor saving that money.
And another thing Mr.. Wood
stands for is the adjustment Of the
Industrial Court. According to the
best information we can get the
court" is costing the state about
100000 per month. What has the
court" done? We have had a coal
strike-settled finally by the opera
tors and miners. We have had
packers strike-settled by the pack
ers and the workers; we have had a
railroad strike-still unsettled. And
the "court" was supposed to stop
strikes!
Already the bill for the National
Guards to preserve order in the rail
strike is over 100000, and any gov
ernor has always had the right to use
the guards in case of disorder. With
these things in mind we cannot help
asking why it is necessary to have a
"court" at an expense TO $4,000 per
month and then use the same agen-
cies we always have had to preserve
order?"
The writer was talking to Re-
publican member of the last legisla-
ture a few days ago. We have had
many arguments as to the merits Of
the "court." However, this time he
remarked that the "court" was not
doing what it was intended to do at
all. We think it is, and said so. He
replied, "Well, it is not doing what
the legislature was told it would, any
way"
If you really want lower taxes and
business administration, support o.
T. Wood for the legislature.
