MERC CHANTS
INSTITUTE
JANUARY 8-12
FRANK A. STOCKSTILL COMES
FOR FIVE DAY SESSION
NEXT MONTH.

Frank A. Stockstill will come Jna-
uary 8 to remain for five days to con-
duct the Liberal merchants insti-
tute which has just been contracted
by the Liberal Chamber of Com
merce.
There will be MONDAY meeting
to which all business and professional
men of the city and surrounding
towns will be welcome. At this meet
ing Mr. Stockstill will talk on sub
jects of interest to business men and
town builders.
His subjects cover a wide range,
and deal with the different phases Of
business, from the standpoint Of the
buyer as well as the seller. He has
a fund of information which if put
into practical use by the business peo-
pie will help all classes.
The night meetings will be open
to employees and deal with their prob
lens, how to best serve their custom
ers and make themselves avenues
of assistance for buyers rather than
merely to show and tie up goods.
Stockstill is one of the big men IN
his line of work. He goes from here
to Hutchinson for the next Institute,
and several business men had expect
ed to go to Hutchinson for the oc-
casion but since he is coming here,
they will be saved the expense Of the
trip and all the business people can
have the benefit.
Now this proposition is not by any
means for "big businesses" No bus
mess is too large or too small to be
benefited by the program and every
man who deals with the public in any
way should not fail to attend regu-
larly.
If we would make Liberal a larg-
er and better town we can get some
valuable ideas from Mr.. Stockstil. He
has been in this business long enough
that he has first hand facts and not
a lot of theories. He may tell you
some things with which you will not
agree, but you are not obligated to
follow any plan he lays down. He
comes to tell you, and it is up to you.
Talk the Institute, invite out-of-
town business men and plan to at
tend every meeting. They are for
your benefit and for the benefit of
Liberal as a market center.

SWALLOWED NAIL
THREE YEARS AGO
Kenneth Mahoney Taken to Hospital
at Wichita for Operation.

1t may seem impossible that nail
could be taken into the lung of a
human body, remain there three
years and give no real serious trou-
BILE. Kenneth Mahoney, 7-year-old
son. of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. D. Mahoney
of this city, has undergone that ex-
perience, but the past month he has
been experiencing some trouble,
caused by the nail in his lung.
1t was thought by physicians that
the nail had passed on through his
system and that if the nail was still
in the little fe lows lungs, he would
have continuous high fever. How
ever, an X-ray picture was taken
yesterday and the nail located, head
down, in his lung, with very little,
if any infection.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mahoney left with
the boy Wednesday morning for
Wichita where an operation will be
performed and the nail removed. 1t
is hoped by their many friends here
that the boy will soon regain his
health

Our Holy Christmas
(Pierce Munsey)
(Pierce Munsey)

Again we approach the time when all the nations
of Christendom gather single day with sim
gle thought The day is Christmas The occasion
is in conmemoraion of The birth of Jewish babe
in Bethlehem manger. Strange to say that in all
the nations there have been born babes that for
tim ehave held the destiny of a nation in the ho-
low of their hands and have thus cast their nflu-
ence generations of posterity it remains that
many of them forgotten, some few have been
remembered by their people for few generations,
by few scattered memorials in bronze or stone;
and scarcely none of them are honorcd outside OF
the narro wboundares of their native lands.
If urne to France are confronted with the sub
lime Maid of Orleans and the colossal figure Of Napoeon
faces to the south Spain lifts the anted figure
of Coumbus in faroff China the philosophical face Of
Confucus fs itself above the decadency oncemagn
cent civilization and where the long stretches of ndias
coral strands stretch away in the distance Mahome the
best of his day. is still wOrhped Rome thinks of its Caes-
and its gitterng egons Greece but vaguely catches
occasional glimpse of its Plato its Socrates and its Ars
toe and where the Bron breathe the words of Shakes
peare hold lingering charm.
But behod the Babe of Bethlehem In the native lands of
these llusrous dead, His will be repeated in song
and speech by countless millions The of all
the myriad of distinguished personages that have lived
since time began, will be utterly forgotten this Holy
Christmas day Where sleep the very ashes of those who by
their swords have changed may the word "Song
of the Shepherd" and the messiah" will be herad What
wonderful trbute Devay has touched all the his
tory but His He has ouved His fellows Atho the world
has since His day been rent with countless wars where
whole nations have been exermnated and lost His
has stood unshaken PHILOSOPHERS have for time flashed
speeding meteor the heavens and dying out in
the distance have left only the steady light of His gospel
undmmed and undiminshed With the passing of the
years His light has grown and will continue until
the dawning of the "perfect day."

BOY SCOUT
COUNCIL ELECTS
NEW OFFICERS
z. s. IRWIN STEPS OUT AS PRES.
IDENT AND E. D. COOPER
',- WAS ELECTED.

The Liberal Boy Scout Council met
Tuesday evening for the annual elec-
. ton Of officers and the transaction
Of other business.
The secretary was authorized to
make application for renewal of
IS charter and reports of committees
were received.
The election of officers was next
in order. E. S. Irwin, who has acted
as president for the past several
years, was placed in nomination, but
l.aemphatically declined the nomination.
'SE. D. Cooper was placed in nominar
tion and elected. Warren Farmer was
elected vice president, w. B. King
secretary, and Everett Layman
treasurer.
Rev. Eli Walker was elected repre-
sentative to the national council.
The Scout movement in Liberal is
in good condition at this time, there
being something like 100 Scouts in
the different troops, each provided
with Scout Masters and assistants,
and others are being taken in from
time to time.
A lot of the credit for the success
full building of the Scout organization
in Liberal rests upon the shoulders
of the retiring president, E. s. Ir-
win.
Scouting was fast dying in Liber-
al because there was not organized
effort to keep the movement live.
The Liberal Chamber of Commerce
got behind the proposition and ap-
pointed committee consisting of E.
8. Irwin, H. G.. Armstrong and J. B.
Miller to investigate and report at
the next meeting.
Mr.. Irwin, as chairman of that
committee, gave the time and effort
right at the time when it was needed
j to save the organization, and when
1.-The committee met with the business
'4en later an organization known as
the Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girls
\ association was organized.
Mr.. Irwin was elected president of
this association and thruogh its ef-
forts the scout movement was car
ried forward until Liberal was en-
titled to second class Council, which
was organized and again Irwin was
Z selected to lead. Rev. Walker was
elected Scout Commissioner and
= fdll quota of Scout Masters and as
sistants secured
ALI during this time the men of Lib
eral gave hearty cooperation, yet it
was the untiring effort of E. S. Irwin
during the formative period which
brings the movement to its present
high state, and both the Scouts and
their parents owe him a great deal
of commendation.
Mr.. Cooper steps into smooth
working organization, and having had
considerable experience will no doubt
be able to place Scouting on an even
higher plane in the future. He is
an able leader "a man of good judg-
ment and with the loyal support Of
the people, Liberal will soon be known
as one of the best Scout towns in the
Southwest.

few years had tendency to alter tho
accepted standards Of success, Mr.. Col
idge said, and some of the unthlnking
drew the hasty conclusion that liberal
education should be discarded ior
something practical While there was
urgent need for technical, industrial,
commercial and professional schools,
these could not be substitute for lib
eral education.
"rhey cannot replace IT, they sup
plcment it" said the vice president.
"1hey could not long endure with
out the support OF those influences
which flow from institutions of liber
alculture. There are men Of liberal cd

know how to live and yet do not know
how to make living II they make
little positive contribution to the gem

more OF menace, from those who have
the power which great financial sue

know well how to make living but
they do not know how to live. The
