The Liberal Democrat (Successor to Tha Independent) Tha Seward County PublUhinf Company CARL C. EDDY Editor and Publisher. Published every Friday morning at Liberal, Seward County, Kans Entered as second-class matter January 1011, at the post office at Liberal, Kansas under the Act of SI arch 3, 1H79. "There's so much good in the worst of us. and there's so much bad In the beat of us, that it doesn't behoove any nf us tosDeak ill of the rest of ua Naturalization Laws Under the Act of June 29, 1906, several changes were made in the law regarding the naturalization of aliens. The United States were divided into several districts and the west em part of the State of Kansas was assigned to the District hav ing headquarters at Denver, Col., where is located the examining force for this district. The duties of the examining force consist of checking up the clerks of court, assisting them in keeping their records on natuiali zation in the manner required by law, in investigating all applica tions for citizenship a d in repre senting the government at hear ing in court. Under the law, an alien who wishes . to make application for naturalization must first, if he is oyer 18 years of age, file a declar ation of intention. Then, after he becomes 21 years of age, and has lived in the U. S. continously for five years and has made the de claration mentioned over 2 years before, he may make application for citizenship, orv as it is termed, file his petition for naturalization, provided he has lived the last one of the five years in the state in which the application is made Both the declaration and the peti tion must bo made in the office of the clerk of the district court of the county in which the alien re sides. This is a very important point, disregard -of which causes Joss of money and time, as papers filed in a county in which the alien does not actually reside in validates the papers. Those persons who landed in the United States after June 29, 1906, must in addition to other re quirements furnish a certificate o landing. This certificate is ob tainable by application to the Chief of the Division of Naturali zation, Washington, D. C, and there is no cost whatever attached to that. Blank applications will be furnished by the Clerk of the District Court and should be care fully read and filled out before be ing mailed. After the application for the certificate of arrival is received by the Division of Naturalization it will take the necessary steps to procure the certificate and it will be sent, together with the appli cation, to the clerk of the court in the county in which the alien resides. At its receipt the alien will be ready to file his petition and must bring with him his de claration of intention and two witnesses, citizens of the Unined States who must have known him during the entire residence in the state if is less than five years, or who must haae known him for five years immediately prececding the date of the petition. If the alien has lived part of the five-year per iod in another state he will be ad vised by the clerk of the neces sary steps to be taken to prove the entire five years. The necessity of filing the de claration with the petition and of having two citizens witnesses is absolute with all aliens, irrespec tive of date of arrival. It should be noted that only free born white persons, or persons of African nativity or descent may be naturalized. Women can be naturalized pro Tided they are not married as a married woman takes the citizen ship status of her husband. A woman born aboad and marrying a citizen of the United States eith er natural or naturalized becomes, by virtue of her marriage, a citi zen of . the United States, and re earsely a woman born in the United States marrying a foreign er becomes a citizen or subject of the country of which her husband is a citizen or subject. Unmarried women,, widows or women who are divorced may of their own right take steps toward naturaliza tion. If in doubt, write to either the Clerk of the District Court in the County in which you reside or to the Chief Naturalization Examin er, Denver, Colorado, the infor mation is entirely free of charge M.

A 'load of gravel scattered around houses and coups would greatly contribute to the health of many a flock. A hen will eat at least a bushel of corn a year if she can .get it Put aside that amount for each one, and see that each one gets her share. Let dressed poultry of all kinds be cool clear through before offer ing it for sale. Limp poultry does not sell so well as that which is good and stiff. Secure a lot of leaves or other light litter for use, during cold weather, in making the hens ex ercise. Idle hens become mis chievous and unhealthy stock. Gather in the poultry that have been allowed to roost outdoors, The sooner they become accustom ed the house the better it will be for their health and improvement When a hen is determined to sit and "Tying, ducking and screaming 'shoo,' Fail with Speckle, and she sits it through," just put thirteen fresh, fertile eggs under her feed and water occas ionally, and let it go at that. It saves wear and tear on the nerves, and she gets over it better and more quickly; and if she hatches anything you are that much ahead.

The est Clothes for Men in Liberal At The Palace Clothing Store It is Little Things ThafrTell! It was a "'Little Thing" of three who told Mamma that she often saw -Papa "tiss Nursey." It was another "Little Thing" who asked Mama if Angels could "tiy," 'cause Papa told Miss Emily she was an "Angel," and forthwith the pretty Nursery Governess "flew." It is only a "Little Difference" in price, but a great difference in quality, and satisfaction in buying "KELLY'S FAMOUS" Flour instead of more for your money kind. And another "Little Difference" of n few cents per pound in buying "BARRINGTON HALL BAKERIZE1) COFFEE." But the clear, delicious cup of coffee that "BARKINGTON HALL" makes, is a great difference from iho muddy tasting, coffee you get from cheap coffees. And only another "Little Difference" of a few cents per can, but the quality and pureness of the delicious fruits and vegetables, packed under the "GOLDEN ROBIN" Label is a great difference from the poor quality you get in cheap canned goods.
