LIBERAL MAY HAVE
A FACTORY STORE
Big Tire Firm Considering Opening
Distributing Station For

That Liberal is attracting the atten-
tion of the country is attested by the
fact that representative Of one of
the "big five" tire companies has been
Id the city several days to arrange for
q distributing agency. According to
this gentleman the company expects
either to induce some firm to take the
distribution of their line or to estab-

established firm or under the manage
ment Of company representative.
Considerable inquiry is being made
as to the prospects of the K. & o. Rail
road being completed this year and
this may have some bearing on the
matter. However, the gentleman in
question seems very favorably i'm
pressed. with Liberal and the pros

OFFICERS MADE A HUNT
FOR CIGARETTES THIS WEEK
Found Few Packages Of Fags In
Two Places and Owners 4
Plead Guilty

County officers this week conducted
a systematic search for cigarettes but
their efforts were not crowned with
great deal of success.
At the Annex Cafe they got few
packages and also at the Sanford
hotel but the quantity was small that
they might have been for the personal
use of the owners. However, they
pleaded guilty and were assessed q
small fine.
The report got out that some booze
was found at the Annex Cafe, but
this is untrue, and probably originated
in the fact that Mr.. Wade keeps his
cooking extracts up at the front to
keep them from being carried off.
1t is said that state detective has
been working here and advised the
officers to make the search. Outside
of the two places mentioned no cigar
cites were found.

Chamber of Commerce Building New
! Building, and Enlarging
Camp Grounds

The demand on the Liberal tourist
camp ground last summer and this
/ spring has been so great that the
/ Chamber of Commerce has seen the
necessity for more room and greater
facilities. Therefor, they have made
arrangements with T. J. Smith, Sr.,
for twice as much ground as they
have been using and are putting up
another building on the grounds.
The new building is the same size
as the old one but the conveniences
will be more modern and better. The
building is divided into four rooms
and in the center of the building will
be fire place that will serve all four
rooms. They are putting tables and
benches in the old and new buildings.
Ovens are being constructed in diff
ferent parts of the grounds.
Liberals convenience and comfort
able camp ground has been getting
fame for the past year and with the
added room and conveniences, the
tourist traffic through will continue to
grow and the grounds and buildings
on the camp ground will have to be
added to from time to time.

CITY MAKING
WATER EXTENSIONS
More Than 10000 Feet of Six inch
Pipe Being Laid in Northeast and
Northwest Parts of City

The city water system is being ex-
tended to all parts of the city and
within the next few months sixteen
Thousand feet of additional mains will
have been laid.
The extensions call for seven blocks
on North New York, seven each on
Nebraska and Prospect, four on PERISH
ing and three on Washington. These
will be connected by eight blocks of
main on the north and the same on the
south, SO there will be no dead ends
and the resulting impure water.
The laying of these mains will allow
for fourteen additional fire hydrants,
reducing the fire hazard in the OUT
lying districts.
1t is expected to have a. ditching
machine here soon after the harvest
rush is over and push work on the
extensions as fast as possible.

CITIZENS COMMITTEE
RAISES FINANCES
Week Day Base Ball Games Assured
When Guarantee Is Raised by
the Business Men

Wednesday will be base ball day
in Liberal this summer as a result of
the efforts of a citizens committee
made up of member from each Of
the churches of the city, the Chamber
of Commerce, Lions Club and Rotary
Club. The movement to discourage
Sunday base ball here was started
several weeks ago, and the members
of the team said that if they had a
guarantee Of financial success for
weekday ball, they were willing to
discontinue the Sunday games.
The committee was selected and
they were put to work to start the
campaign for funds which came to a
close the first Of this week with
enough season tickets sold to give
the players their guarantee There
will be ten games played during the
remainder of the summer on the
home grounds, and the team will re-
ceive one-tenth Of the season ticket
sales after each game. The first
game was played Wednesday after
noon with Hooker, Oklahoma.
There is some good base ball ma
terial in Liberal, and although our
team has lost some games this sea-
son, they feel that they will be more

assisting farmers during harvest to
putting the farmer and the laborer
together and let them thresh out their
own difficulties in regard to wages.
The Chamber of Commerce will try
to keep in touch with the situation at
all times, and if labor is scarce, can
get in touch with the Labor Depart

sary.
In the past considerable misunder-
standing has arisen between some OF

played by it has not always been un-

Of farmers as to ways in which we car
fco-operate with them in matters o1
kind, and whatever service we car
render will be free, and cheerfully
given.
If the wage paid for harvest hands
this year doesn't suit you, please don't
blame the Chamber of Commerce, be-
cause it has had nothing to do with
setting the wage scale, neither can the
Chamber of Commerce guarantee the
class of laborer you may get.
During harvest the secretary will be
at your service "a hours day. A
call to him for help will receive
prompt attention, but as above stated,
the product cannot be guaranteed to
give satisfaction.
Information concerning laborers
who develop any radical tendencies,
will be appreciated, and proper action
taken.

LIBERAL HOSPITAL
HOLDS COMMENCEMENT

The Second Annual Commencement
occurred last night in the auditorium
of the Methodist church when a fair
sized crowd attended the graduating
exercises of the second class to grad
uate from The Liberal Hospital Train
ing School for Nurses.
A good program, well carried out,
included an interesting address by
Rev. Henry in which he emphasized
the fact that our lives and our work
are closely interviewer as to be in
separable and that we must live some
kind of life and do some kind of a
life work whether we chose to do so
or not. He also dwelt upon the i'm
portance Of the nurse to the world at
large and the opportunity that a
nurse worthy of the title had to do
good in the world by her sacrificing
devotion to duty.
DIR. F. W. Huddleston presented the
diploma to the graduating nurse and
dwelt upon the advantage and advers-
tiles that fell to the lot of the nurse
and charged her to be steadfast and
true to her profession and the world.
The Liberal hospital class pin was
presented by the superintendent of
nurses, Miss Ethel Sayre.
The musical selections sunng by
Mrs. Ira Sally were beautiful as were
the selections rendered by the high
school orchestra, "The Harmonious
Seven" and indeed they were harmon
ious to the nth degree,
In a happy little address Rev.
Walker dwelt upon the value of the
smile and cheerful disposition as an
essential in the successful make up of
the trained nurse.
All together the event was very
much enjoyed by all present and at
the completion Of the program the en-
tire student class body were invited to
the home of Mrs. F. w. Huddleston
where they were served with delicious
ice cream and cake. ~ 's'''''0s
The graduating class for 1923 will !.
have half dozen graduates.

seemed to be feeling of confidence
among the brethren assembled.
The meeting was called to order by
A. A. Farmer. DR.. Ben w. Day was
elected chairman in tie absence OF
Chairman P. F. Hanlin, with ]. B.
Miller, secretary.

o. T. Wood then introduced the fol-
lowing resolution:
Whereas, it will become the duty OF

Jonathan M. Davis, of Bronson, Kan
sas, a good farmer and politician and
Col. Leigh Hunt, of Rosedale, Kansas
successful business man and excellent
soldier, man who has never held
public Office of any kind or sought one
therefore be it
Resolved: That, we, the Democrats
of Seward county, in mass convention
assembled, do heartily endorse the
candidacy of Col. Leigh Hunt and
pledge him our active support in the
primary election in August.
Upon motion the resolution was
adopted.
A motion that it be the sense of the
meeting that a full Democratic ticket
be placed in the field for the coming
election was defeated.
A motion was then made that the
chair appoint a committee to en-
deavor to secure candidates for the
offices for which there are no aspir-
ants. This motion was carried.
A motion was made that o. L.
Wood be endorsed as a candidate for
representative carried unanimously.
A motion that committee be ap-
pointed to circulate petitions for can
didates having no opposition was
carried.
There was some difference OF
opinoin as to the advisability of draft
ing candidates for offices, some con-
tending that the ticket should be
filled, while others thought that unless
there were men or women who really
work for them the places should be
left blank on the Democratic ticket.
The meeting was cut short SO the
farmers could use the court room for
the meeting called to set harvest
wage.
