FLED FROM CTecS. ss3AGE
Commander Of Brazilian Warship
Thought Some New Kind Of
Bomb Was Being Used.

Probably the strangest and most
put occurred in a naval battle between
Brazil and Uruguay In the mld-Nine-
teenth century, records the Intelli-
gencer.
The Uruguay ship, commanded by
Captain Coe, in the midst OF the bat
tie became exhausted Of shot. A lieu
tenant reported the facts TO Coe.
Powder all gomez asked Coe.
"No, sir; lots of that yet"
I'VE had a darned hard cheese--a
today do you remember lit" said Coe.
." ought to; l broke the carving
knife In trying TO cut II, sir"
Are there any mere abOardr'
"About two dozen. We took them
from a drawer"
"Wnl they go in the 1S-poundersT"
by thunder, commodore, but that's
the idea I'll try EN-"
And in a few minutes the lombard
ing from Goes ship %reopened. and the
enemy found more shot flying over
their heads. At last n shot struck
the mainmast, scattering the bits Of
cheese far and wide. Then another
came. Then four or five more slapped
against the sails. The enemy COM
mander, unable to decide what was
happening, and thinking that a new
kind Of bomb was being used on him,
became terrorized and ordered his boat
10 back away. Little did he know that
he was %retreating from a barrage Of
Dutch cheese.

ever expect to hear it, do not miss

comes. You are invited to hear b. M

AT THE LIGHT PLANT
Is Erecting New Switchboard Which
VII Materially Improve
The Service

While there cannot possibly be any
kick on the service which the Liberal
Light Ice & Power Company has
been giving the city since the installa-
tion of the new 365 h. p. DIESEL engine,
the company is making another i'm
provement which will still further inn
prove the service.
This is the installation of a new
switchboard, which will permit all the
generators to be used simultaneously,
synchronizng all the machines, max
ing them the same as one powerful
generator.
The new pole lines are also being
set and the quality of poles being set
indicates that the company anticipates
a growth in the city. They are large
heavy poles of pleasing quality and
are big improvement in themselves
The installation of the switchboard
is in charge Of Mr.. c. H. Dollison, ar
expert in this line of work.

an example Of how one town helped
itself to grow into an important little

chance, rejected the pro-offered OPP
portunity and is still good little
town. Paul Light reported for the
Boys Work Committee, that sort
of father and sons lecture would be
given at the high school auditorium
on Thursday, February 9th.
Letters were read from Herring

badge tests.
A letter from Mr.. Baughman in
forms us that he is going ahead with
the plans for that great trip next
summer. All who are going better
get busy and get those six merit
badge tests out Of the way.

but many of them cannot expect the
returns others outside the organiza-
ton will make if well is brought in.
No one has valid excuse for not
signing the bonus contract. Unless
a we'll is brought in within the spec
flied time no one will have to spend
cent. If oil is found, it will be
worth the money. There is not
chance to lose, so everyone should go
the limit in boosting.
Every person signing the contract
becomes member of the association
and has an ejual part in the work.
and it, is hoped and expected that
every man in the town and country
will sign up and help keep the propo-
sition going. It is case of every
thing to win, nothing to lose.
Let's put Liberal on the oil map
before January 1, 1928. 1t can be
done if everyone gets back of the
proposition and exhibits little
boosting spirit.

BUCKLIN MAN TO HEAD
THE LIBERAL SCHOOLS
N. B. Mehuron Elected Superinten-
dent of Liberal Schools for
the Coming Year

At a called meeting of the Board
Of Education held the first of the
week, N B. Mahuron of Bucklin, was
elected as superintendent of the Lib
eral schools for the coming year.
Mr.. Mahuron was here week or
more ago and made application for
the position, and the Board, after
investigation, accepted his PROPOSE
sition. While he has not as yet signed
contract, members Of the Board are
of the opinion that this will be done
at an early date.
The Democrat is of the opinion
that the Board has acted wisely in
employing Mr.. Mahuron. He has
been at the head of the Bucklin
schools for the past eight years, and
has built up splendid system. The
writer has first hand knowledge of
his management of school affairs, and
can recommend Mr.. Mahuron to the
people of Liberal as capable school
man and splendid citizen.
We are glad to know that he is to
come to Liberal, and feel sure that
he will, with the additional facilities
soon to be placed at his disposal, put
Liberals schools in the top rank Of
Kansas schools.

CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT
AT MORROW HOSPITAL
Sisters of Charity Will Take Over
the Management on Feb
ruary 18th

49,. An arrangement has been made
by Drs. Morrow & Day of the Nor
row Hospital, whereby the Sisters of
Charity will take over the manage
ment of the hospital on February ID.
This deal has been under consider
alton for sometime, but the details
have just been worked out satisfac-
torily.
This will no doubt, mean another
hospital building for Liberal, as it is
the intention of the Sisters to con-
struct hospital similar to the st.
Elizabeth hospital at Hutchinson,
with 6O-bed capacity, which will be
strictly modern and fire-proof in
every way.
The name Morrow Hospital" will
be thing of the past after Febru-
airy 18th, as the name will be changed
to Mercy Hospital, but the present
location will be occupied until the
new building is erected.
AS soon as the Sisters take charge
n staff will be elected among the
physicians and surgeons of this par
of the Southwest, and this staff will
direct the policy of the institution.
The hospital was founded by DIR
A. M. Morrow several years ago, ant
has enjoyed good patronage. 4
short time ago DR.. Ben H. Day cam'
to Liberal and formed partnership
with DR.. Morrow, and they have beef
very successful. They will continu
their offices at the hospital until sue
time as suitable office rooms ar
available.

ROSE VALLEY SCHOOL
HOUSE BURNS DOWN

The Rose Valley school house, ten
miles west Of the city, burned Sat
urday night. The origin Of the fire
is unknown. A farmer living near
noticed the blaze about nine o'clock
Saturday evening. Neighbors were
called and although the school house
could not be saved, hard work kept
a prairie fire from starting.
This is great loss to the commu-
nifty, as this was a modern school
house and practically new, having
been built only about four years ago.
Forty-four students were enrolled
and it will also mean loss to them
at this time of the schoolyear.
