STARTS FRIDAY
EVERYTHING SET
FOR CHAUTAUQUA
The Tent Is Erected and Seats are Be.
Today. Everyone Boosting

The Chautauqua tent is located on
the lots south of the Ault Building
on Kansas avenue and seats are be-
ing erected and everything will be
in readiness for the opening number
at 2:45 Friday afternoon. Supt. W.
NJ. Sparks is here and is very en-
thusiasic about the program for this
year. Every one in Liberal should
procure their season tickets immedi-
ately II they have not done so. An
effort is being made to have the play
'Friendly Enemies" produced Sun
day evening instead Of Monday after
noon as this is one of the top-line
attractions a thoroughly patriotic
play which will in no way mar the
spirit of the day and no doubt will
bring a great number of people from
out Of town. Notice will be given II
this change is made
There are a number Vt outstand-
ing features in connection with our
pogram this year, which make It
better balanced and more attractive
than in years past. According to
Pres. Ray Kennedy word has been

feet that it is the best talent and
best balanced program ever produced.
Ruth Ryan Owen Is rated by many
people as being as forceful an ora
tor as her distinguished father, and
Is one Of the big drawing cards Of
this program. She will appear on
Tuesday evenings program. De-
tetive Harry j. Loose is mother
novelty on the Chautauquqa stage,
being one of Chicago's leading GRIM
inal catchers, and a man of much
force. His interesting talk vii be
given Monday night and every man,
. woman and boy in, this vicinity
should hear him. Eugene Laurant is
in a class by himself and this is q
class of entertainment which hereto
fore has been lacking on the Chau-
tauqua stage. Mr.. Lauranv is one
of the leading magicians of the coun-
try, and no doubt will be a big draw
ing card. He is the last number Of
Chautauqua. All other numbers are
of the best. Get your season tick

BEST PROGRAM YET SHOULD DRAW
RECORD CROWDS ALL WEEK
CHANGE IN CHAU-
TAUQUA PROGRAM

Sescretary Kennedy Of the local
Chautauqua committee received a
wire today from the management
that there would be a slight change
in the program as advertised here.
The play "Friendly Enemies" instead
of being given Monday afternoon
will be put on Sunday night Everett
Kemp and ]. A. Cooper will give the
program Sunday afternoon, Daddy
Grobecker's Yodlers will appear in
a full concert Monday afternoon and
the Monday evening program will
remain as advertised on the regular
programs
The chief reason for the change,
we understand, was the extremely
warm weather and the great mum.

expressed desire for the change Of
the play to evening instead Of af.

MATERIAL ARRIVING
FOR McQUIGG OPERATIONS
Two of Five Cars of Rig Timbers
Have Arrived and Others

Two of the five cars o' .,s ,i,'bers
for the McQuigg operations have ar
rived and have been unloaded. Three
more cars are on the way and may
arrive any time, and as soon as these
are here the work Of building will
start. Rumor says there will be three
rigs, but we have nothing definiete on
this. Personally we are satisfied
there will be more than one, but this
is only opinion.
There Is much speculation as to the
locations but we are unable to get
anything on this. In fact there Is
doubt as to whether or not the loca-
lions have been decided definitely.
This is inside business with the COM
pany and nothing is being give out,
other than that operations will be
started at the earliest possible mo-
ment.

THE RAILROAD STRIKE
FROM THE LOCAL ANGLE
Striking Shopmen Conducting Peace
able Campaign, and Strike
breakers Not Molested.


The strike Of railroad shopmen
continues about as before. The men
are keeping away from company
property and letting events take
their course with the result that
the equipment is deteriorating at a
rapid rate.
Railroad heads called together to
confer with the representatives Of
the Big Four are maintaining bull
dog attitude, and at last reports were
on the verge of falling out among
themselves. It seems a part Of the
men want to compromise with the
strikers; others want to stand pat.
The strikers have agreed to- re-
submit their grievance to the rail-
Dad board and abide by its decision
if they are taken back with unimpair-
ed seniority. Thus the seniority mat
ter Is the only stumbling block and
while newspapers over the country
are reviling the strikers for tieing up
transportation the executives them
selves are the guilty parties. The
seniority question was not an issue
before the strike-it should not be
now
While the president is asking con-
gress to enact laws to deal with
strikes from the labor side, why not
make few laws to regulate the
other side The country today is
fast paralyzing because the execu-
tives are holding out for the relin-
quishment of seniority.
If congress will pass law allow
ing the government to take over and
operate coal mines and railroads
whenever the executives and the men
cannot agree until such time as a
settlement is made strikes viii be a
thing of the past. As it is the burden
of settlement is on the strikers and
the executives have the government
back of them to help enforce their
demands no matter how unreason-
able.
The strike question could be cas-
lily settled if the burden of settle
ment were divided between the en-
ment were divided between the en-
ployers and employees. Let con-
gress act and act sensibly without
resort to armed force and the condi-
ton will be remedied and in per-
fectly American manner.

hoped this condition will continue 1t
is not good business or good policy to
lie down.
Be up and doing and help put this
proposition over good and strong.
Those who have taken the lead in
people have worked long and hard,
devoting valuable time to the prop
osition, and it is little to do to get
out and vote.
Be sure to be at the polls on Sep
tember IL and see that your friends

won by sleeping; no business trans
action goes through without effort.

Drillers at the Seward County on

ing than for the past week. While
they are still endeavoring to secure
the lost casing they are also PLAN

of their success in getting the cas-

They expect to be able to swedge
out the hole they have drilled through
the casing and run the new string thru
it If they cannot fish It out.

definite at this test and the possibility
Of strike is keeping these on the in

DON'T FORGET TO VOTE FOR
THE r. r. BONDS SEPT. IL


Liberal people are warned not to
overlook the bond election on Sep
tember IL at which time the matter
of building the Kansas 6 Oklahoma
railroad will lbe definitely settled.
There is a general feeling that the
bonds will carry easily, but this is
not true. If they carry it will be
necessary that every person interest
ed in the road 60 to the polls and
vote for the bonds. If they will do
this there is no doubt as to the out
come.
The greatest and really the only
anger of the bonds being defeated
lies in the fact that those who are
for them viii neglect to vote. While
there has been no hint Of any or
ganized opposition and while Il d

gains in Groceries.
One of the sensations of the week
is the quit business sale at the Vick-
ers grocery on North Washington
avenue.
Ever since the opening day great
crowds have thronged the store buy
ing the offerings at cut prices. It
is seldom that new, fresh goods can
be bought SO cheaply, but the Wick
ers grocery will soon be no more.
Manager Salley told a Democrat
reporter that the grocery department
was just too much extra and did not
justify the neglect Of the grain and
seed department SO they decided to
close out and quit.
He says he has no complaint on
the business they have enjoyed but
that he desired to devote all his time
to the other lines
A feature Of the sale is the con-
test, number Of Liberal and Seward
county ladies competing for nice
prizes. Votes are given for orders
or payments on account, so look up
the list in this issue and if you have
a friend in the bunch do her all the
good you can.
The closing date has not been set
but the way the goods are moving
the Vickers store will soon be thing
Of the past.

Fathered by Postmaster General
WanaInaker who first officially sug-
gestI it to Congress in 1891, the ru-
raj delivery idea was fought for five
years before it was finally given a
try-out.
The first bill authorizing the service
was introduced in the House of Repre-
sentative James O'Donnell, Of Michi.
gan on January 3, 1892, carrying an
appropriation of $6,OO0,O0O A year
later Congress appropriated $4,000,

priation of $4,000 made by Congress
% years ago to initiate the service has
now grown 10 the tremendous figure
Of SS6,S00.GG0. This figure shows an
increase Of 1913 100000 over the APP
preparations for the years 1915, 1916,
1917 and 1918, when fiat appropria-
ton of sos 100000 was made for each
year. The jump was due to increases
IN salaries of carriers.
The first complete county rural SER
vice was established December %,
1899, in Carroll county. Maryland.
From that date county service rapidly
developed until it now covers more
than 1000 counties.

class post Offices discontinued on ac-
count of the establishment Of rural de-
livery servie, representing an annual
saving a. the postal service Of 81
