WILL BUILD X. & o.
SOUTHEAST TO FoRGAN
Increase in Capital Stock is Asked in
Order to Connect With the M.
K. & T. at Forgan

It is not unlikely that within the
next few days graders will begin
the work of building the Kansas &
Oklahoma railroad to Forgan, and
the work of laying the track will
follow in rapid order.
The work on the northwest end is
going along very satisfactorily, and
der the early completion of the road
at this time there is nothing to him
to the Colorado line.
With the principal difficulties on
the southwest end, ironed out, Presi-
dent Byers will now devote his ener-
gies to building to a connection with
the Katy at Forgan.
It was the original intention to
build this line first, but later plans
were changed, and the line toward
the Colorado line was started. The
steel is now across the line and grad
ing is progressing in Stevens county
The grading contract was let yes
terday and work is to start at once
at the east line of the city. The
greater part of the grading has been
done in Oklahoma and when the
grade reaches the Oklahoma line, it
will be but a short time until the
track layers can go to work.
President o. P. Byers was in Lib
eral the first of the week and is well
pleased with the progress made in the
past few months. Railroad building
in the winter time is usually slow
work, but the building of the line
into Stevens county has been done
with remarkable speed, considering
weather conditions, and it is expected
that the line to the southeast will
progress at about the same rate.
There is an insistest demand at
this time for the building of the
Katy connection. The difference in
the price Of grain will mean a big
thing for the farming community
which has been hit by low. prices, and
will mean added progress for the
town.

SCHOOL BOARD HAS
EMPLOYED ARCHITECT
Man Who Designed Million Dollar

Been Employed

At meeting Of the Board of Edu-
cation held last Monday night Lorenz
Schmidt, Wichita architect, was
given the contract for the new 500,
600 high school to be erected in Lib
eral.
Mr.. Schmidt is not only well recon-
mended, but has the contract for the
new million dollar Roosevelt High
school in Wichita.
Mr.. Schmidt will begin at once on
the plans foy> Liberal building and
it is hoped to have everything in read
mess to begin work ian early date.
Members of the board are anxious
to get construction started that as
many persons as possible have employ
ment, and as much of the work as can
be done by local parties will be given
them.

AETNA B. & LOAN ASSN.
HAS BIG BUSINESS HERE
Almost $500, 100000 Loaned to Peo-
pie in Liberal; Responsible for
Many Homes

Griffith G. Baughman have been
handling the business of the Aetna
Building and Loan Association in
Liberal since 1914, and the growth
of the business since that time is
worthy of note.
When this firm took over the
business, the monthly report showed
$500, while at the present time the
report shows something over $4,000.
There has been loaned to Liberal
people to January 1st, 1927, ,266.20,
and the dividends on stock held by
Liberal people in 1921 amounted to
$7,191.02, and there are over 800
separate shareholders in Liberal.
With this volume of business Mr..
Griffith says there has never been a
foreclosure.
Thus it will be seen that the COM
pany has been the means of enabling
many Liberal people to become home
owners, for when other avenues of
finance were closed, the Aetna still
had money available, and at the
present time the company is making
some loans.
The record not only speaks we'll
for the Aetna, but for the Griffith
& Baughman firm, as well, and it is
hoped that in the coming year many
others will avail themselves Of the
to build home Of their
oWn.

WANT RIGHT OF WAY
ROAD NORTH EAST TOWN
Meeting Will Be Held at Hayne This
Evening to Get Plan Under
Way

People living in the northeast part
of the county are taking quite an in
terest in the right of way road now
projected between Liberal and Tyrone.
The right-of-way has all been Sc
cured for the route southwest except
one small piece and this will Likely be
secured soon.
Now it is desired that the road be
extended along the Rock Island as
far as Arkalon, and meeting is to
be held at Hayne this evening to start
the ball rolling. If the right-of-way
can be donated as on the south end
there is really no good reason why
the road could not be built

All be Hard Contests-Greens-
burg in Lead at Present

Wednesday at Bucklin.
Thursday at Dodge City.
Friday at Greensburg.
Saturday at Ensign.

nights have been devoted to some
hard practice in the expectation that
they will win these games.
Bucklin and Greensburg are lead
ing the Rock Island league, both hav-
ing strong teams. Dodge City has
lost but one game this year and that
was to Hutchinson.
Ensign has one of the best teams
in Southwest, Kansas, and are lead
ing a league made up of towns along
the Elkhart branch of the Santa Fe.
This will be a hard trip but the
boys are all in good shape and should
put up hard battle in each game.

GARDEN COPIED GAME
HERE FRIDAY NIGHT

Garden City high school defeated
the L. H. S. basket ball team on the
Liberal court last Friday night by a
score of 81 to II.
The game was slow, and Liberal
had hard luck in goal shooting. High
land played in his usual form, but
the other fellows could not find the
basket often enough to overcome
the lead of the Garden City team.

"Way Down East" at the Tucker

spellbound during it's entire length
The picture was doped as one of
the "real ones' and came up to ad-
vance advertising. Packed houses
greeted the production.

LIBERAL PREPARING TO
ENTERTAIN SOUTHWEST
KANSAS CONFERENCE
Largest Gathering in History Of The
City to BE- Here From March
Seventh to Thirteenth

The Southwest Kansas Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church
will convene in Liberal on March z
and continue in session until March
13. and Liberal faces real prob
lem in caring for the visitors who
viii come to attend the Conference/
The territory covered by the South
west Kansas Conference comprizes
almost one-third of the state. and
from this great territory will come a
crowd of the best people in the state,
and it is up to the citizens of Liberal
to provide them with such entertain
ment that the name of the city will
be preserved.
Besides the ministers who will have
to be entertained, there will be, dur
ing the session, between one hundred
and one hundred fifty boys, who
come as delegates to the colder
Boys Conference. It is customary
for the city entertaining the confer
ence to provide lodging and break
fast free to the ministers and the
boys who come as delegates, and it is
no easy task for a town the size of
Liberal and will require the COM
bined effort of not only the members
of the Methodist congregation, but
all citizens and civic organizations.
The Liberal Chamber of Commerce
is cooperating with Rev A. E. Henry
and the entertainment committee in
findinp accommodations for the Wis
itors. hit they. have only good
start, and it is going to be necessary
that our people open their homes to
orr ~rnsts for that week.
If you are in position to furnish
bed and breakfast for one or more,
notify Rev. Henry. II you have bed
onlv. or breakfast onlv, this will be
appreciated. Rev Henry will be at
his office in the church during the
dav nnd his phone number is 419,
and he will be glad to list your ac-
commodations, whether it be one bed
or eeveral
This will likely be the LARGEST
rrowd which has ovnr come to the
citv at one time. and it is likely that
NJ times. there will be from seven
to nine hundred persons in atten-
dance. Should Liberal not arise to
the occasion it would be a shame, af-
ter the effort which was made to
bring the Conference here

GAME BUT PLAINS WON

L. H. S. basket ball team journey

Those who have followed the
games this year, say this was the
best game the local lads have played
this season. The playing on both
sides was snappy and although the
opponents won, the Liberal fellows
