ed. It is purely private enterprise
and must be carried on along busi-
ness lines. The fact that J. Pierpont
Morgan is present at the conference
from the U. S. illustrates the type
of men behind the undertaking. II
is generally thought the loan, il made
at all, must be big one. The figure
commonly quoted in later reports is
two billions of dollars. This amount
could be made to go a long way if
Belgium and England, particularly,
would give up their right to priority
or would defer part payments as they
profess they are willing to do. Hol-
land, England, the U. s., and some
other countries have money that
could be devoted to this end.

A Commission of the League of
Nations has been working ever since
1920 on the problem of disarmament
of land forces in Europe and have
finally reported that disarmament at
the present time is impossible. Only
comparatively small number Of the
European nations made any reply at
all to the Leagues inquiries. The
fact that there are so many unset
tied questions in Europe may be held
responsible for the condition. An ef-
fort is now being made to bring
about a temporary truce of eight
months, each armed nation retaining
the status quo. This should apply
to the east of Europe as well as the
west. Greece wants war in Asia
Minor to stop that she may give at
tention to development of her new
territory. The desire of Russia is to
stop the operations of the anti-bolshe-
vik armies. The ministry in France
would accept truce il reparations

30th has been observed as a Memori-
al Day for the departed Union SOL
diers of the Civil War. II was in
stituted by the Grand Army of the
Republic, and that organization still
takes the lead in providing for the
yearly observance. This event seems
to have secured a permanent place
in our calendar. Its original purpose
has been extended so that the day
has been made the occasion for dec
Grating with flowers the graves of
friends who have passed on. Just
what will be the permanent policy Of
the soldiers Of the recent war is not
yet decided; but it is hoped that
nothing will prevent May 30 continu-
ing as a day Of permanent patriotic
interest. This year the weather was
Of the best, and the entire exercises
Of the highest order.
The Training School
At 900 a. m, the College Training
School presented a delightful pro-
gram, in the College Chapel, in the
presence of large and appreciative
audience. Nineteen Union soldiers
were in reserved seats, as guests of
honor. A variety of exercises by the
large number of children. from the
first to the eighth grade. held the at.
tention thruout. Among the notice.
able attractions were a Flag Song,
Flower and Flag Drill. Choosing the
May Queen, and a Pageant of Democ-
racy. The memorizing of the numer-
Gus and sometimes complicated parts
was something wonderful. The CO.'S
tunes were appropriate and beautiful.
The speaking was unusually clear and
expressive. The sentiment was of the
highest order, with a thread of pa
triotisns running thru it all. In the
pageant, the spirits of Justice. Love
and Liberty were contrasted with
such personified opposites as Greed,
Force, Hate. Strife, etc. In the
final scene the nations of the world
happily accepted the leadership of
Democracy. Too much cannot be
said in commendation of teachers and
pupils who worked out this fine ex.
hibition.
The Cemetery Ceremonies
Following the Training School pro-
gram, a long train of automobiles
and many people, old and young, on
foot, proceeded to the cemetery,
where are the graves of 40 Union
soldiers and Q of those of the World
War. Prof. LeVant Dodge was in
general charge, and led in the i'm
pressive ritual exercises of the G. A. |

A very pleasant time was spent at
the Methodist church Wednesday eve
ming when the business women and
girls and the lady teachers of the
schools and the pastors wives gath
cred there at 6:15 and did justice to
delicious dinner, served by the Ia
dies of the different churches of the

tables were beautifully decorated
with red roses and lilies. The pro-
gram which was given was much ap-
preciated. Rev. E. G. Miller gave
the girls short talk and Mr.. Fellers
and Mr.. Troy gave instrumental and
vocal pieces which delighted their au-
dience. Lorene Spradling and Wan

much appreciated. The crowd then

where a section was reserved for

OLD TIMER
HERE DIED IN
CALIFORNIA
JACOB INCOLD PASSED AWAY
AT HOME OF SON, OCTOBER
18TH, AGED 80

C. M. Waite is in receipt of let
ter from Mrs. Elsie Long at FL Cen
tro, California, which brings the SAT
news of the death of an old settler in
this section, Jacob Ingold, better
known here as Daddy" Ingold.
Mr.. Ingold came here 35 years age
and with his son Alvin, settled on 6
homestead on blackberry creek, where
he lived for many years, coming to
Liberal about twelve months ago to
make his home with P. Wennerholm
in South Liberal.
A few months ago he went to 81
Centre to stay with his son, A. In
gold, and according to the letter, was
gaining in weight and strength, when
he suffered stroke of paralysis and
passed away.
Daddy" Ingold was a veteran OF
the civil war, and a splendid citizen
always pleasant and accomplishing
despite his advanced age. He had
a large circle of friends who will re.
greet his passing away.
The following clipping is from the
Ell Centre paper:
Jacob Ingold attained more than
the Biblical three score and ten when
the final summons found him ready
yesterday morning after a weeks
illness, at the home of his son, A.
Ingold, of Ell Centre.
Mr.. Ingold was the grandfather OF
Mrs. Elsie Long, wife of George
Long of this city, and also grand
father to Mrs. Mabel Amen and
Ralph mold of Ell Centre.
A few weeks ago Mrs. George Long
returned from a summer vacation
spent in Kansas and the middle west,
and at the end of her vacation, re
turned to Holtville and brought with
her her grandfather, from Liberal,
Kansas.
Liberal was a worthy home for
this venerable old gentleman. He
was one of the few remaining men,
bers of the G. A. R. He was the
grandfather of Mrs. George Long.
Mrs. Long before her marriage was
popularity remembered as Mrs. Elsie
Pancke. Mrs. Long brought Mr.. In
gold, father of her father, A. lngold
of Liberal out west with her just
eight weeks ago, after visit of sew
eral months in the middle west.
A week ago tomorrow morning the
venerable old gentleman fell into a
deep sleep which gradually lightened,
until the angel of Life beckoned him
toward a greater life early yester-
day morning.
Funeral services were held today
at 1 o'clock at the Lemons mortuary
chapel in Ell Centre and interment
took place later in the Evergreen
cemetery.

EDUCATION WEEK

Plans are being made by the
American Legion and the United
States Commissioner of Education
Tigert for the national observance of
Sunday, December 8, as the opening
day of education week. Ministers of
all denominations are urged to
preach sermon on education that
day, combining the thoughts of home,
school and church influence. The
National Educational Association is
cooperating to induce the nation to
concentrate on seven subjects of en-
deavor that week, all of them tending
toward better Americanism. "a
Cody nation cannot fail" is the ma
national slogan for Sunday. Ameri-
can Legion posts thruout the United
States are prepared to furnish speak
ers for meetings for the week and
requests for their services should be
made early.

LIBERAL TO HAVE A
{, POLICE LIGH TsYSTEM

Plans are now under way for a
police light system in our city. There
will be large red light placed on
the corner of Kansas and Second, on
the George building. The light will
be connected with the telephone sys-
tenn and any time a policeman is
wanted in any part Of the city, they
are to call central, tell them they
want police, give their name, and
the number they are phoning from,
then the police light is turned on, and
a policeman within several blocks can
Immediately see this and he will step
to the nearest telephone and central
will connect him with the party who
is calling. If a person should not
get a police in a reasonable length
of time he should report to the mayor
or city clerk The light will be
large red bulb with reflector that
will make the light strong enough
that it can be seen all down Kansas
and Second streets and can probably
be seen for two or three blocks in
the daytime.
The work has already been started
on the system and will probably be
ready for use by Monday.
This system will be quite an i'm
provement to Liberal and can insure
better protection to the citizens; it
also keeps a check on the policemen.
As it has been in the past, it has of
ten been hard to get police as they
would be on duty probably on some
side street and communication could
not be made with them in convent
emily short time.
One of the things that should be
clear to the people is that they should
only tell central who you are and
what you want and the number from
which you are phoning. In that way
central is not put to unnecessary
trouble.

Fifteen thousand small tin helmets
were distributed among the Ameri-
can Legion Auxiliary units of Kan
sas, by the state headquarters, to
be sold on 'Armistice day. The OBJ
ject in selling these helmets was
four-fold. 1. To help perpetuate
the memory Of the first great Armis-
tice day and all it stood for. 2. To
provide small portion Of that rec
ognition which the ex-service men
who were manned or wounded are
entitled to receive from every citi-
zen, young or old. 8. To give oppor-
tunity to the men, who, though ham
dicapped, are anxious to support
themselves and not be objects of char
ity. Every helmet represents the work
of some disabled man, for which he
has received financial compensation.
4. To spread the Dug Out idea,
where disabled men make products
which are sold by them, to other cities
and encourage the same formation
by those who have not yet forgot
ten.
