POSTMASTER JAKES HOLIDAY

Postmaster Stein had the pleas­ure of a partial holiday, I'uesday, which was due to the nation's birthday. His office hours were form 10 to 11 :15 a.m. and 3 to 5 p.m. fo r the day. 'I'his is his first holiday since his entrance in ­to the office and was greatly en ­joyed. He informed us that a re­ward o f from $.50 to $200 is o ffer­ed for the arrest and of any one attempting to rob the postoffice, is in effect at all times.

SCHOOL MEETING The annual school mealing will

be held at the school house in Alex, next Tuesday. One new member will be elected and the question o f em ploying an add­itional teacber will be considered and other important matters be­side the regular routine of busi­ness will be considered.

Every one interested in good schools should be present to take part in the meeting,

A GOOD RAIN

A good rain fell here W ednes­day afternoon, which relieved the heated condition of the atmos­phere and settled the dust. It caught a good many of the far­mers witb tbeir bay down, but fhe benefit to tbe growing crops far e.xceeds tbe uainage Uone tbe hay. The rain did not extend over two miles to tbe norlh, but a heavy rain is reported south­west ot town.

A PluMC HARIY

A picnic party composed o f Dr. and Mrs. K. tvi. $haw, Mrs. J . D. Kidd, Mrs. AUair, Mrs. Addy, Mrs. rtarper and Miss Lillian H arper, - r s , Hines and son and daugnter trom Alabama, who are guests ai the H arper home; M r. Prank H arper and the young people ot the families spent a very deligbtful 4th on Roaring creek, three miles south o f town. Eisbing and a picnic dinner were the important fea­tures o f tbe day.

The Dr. said be threw his hook for the editor a fish, but he could only raise it to the top o f the water on account ot the weight, which he estimated to be near he lUO pound mark.

The first crop of broom corn in the vicinity of A lex and Lind­say will be ready to harvest about the 2Uth of the month, and a large number of hands will be required lo handle the immense crop. It is advisable that the farmers en­gage their help rigbt away and report what additional help will be required. The Commercial Club of A lex will gladly assist in securing and distributing help if you will report your needs to them. N orvill and Ford have been driving a Wichita broom corn buver over the country and find the crop outlook fine. They engaged a number of crops at $1UU per ton.

VOTE AGAINST IT

The schools of O klahom a ver­sus Campbell Russell. That is the title o f the contest that will be set­tled by the votes of the people on August 1st, when Russell’s initia ted bill to vitalize section 12 -a of the constitution comes up tor a vote. A t the same time, the meas­ure of the schools of the state to finally repeal section 12 -a will also be voted on.

Russell in his greed for power and incidentally m oney, is stump­ing the state and sending torth broadcast, misleading statistics in forlorn eifort to bolster up his fail­ing cause. Russell can afford to stump tbe state because if his bill is passed be will receive some ibU.UUU m fees which his bill le­galizes, to be paid by the school districts that will be bebefitted un­der tbe terms of the bill. Not only that but Russell is already making his campaign on state money, having borrowed from tbe stale scbool land funds, the necessary iunds. Thus we have the state putting up m oney for Russell to use in tearing down tbe scbool system and to use in^ lling Ills pocket book at the expense ot the taxpayers of the stale. He may be legally right in this but certainly the school land funds were meant to be used in building up the tarms of the state and not to tear down the school system.

Under the law the scbool dis­tricts of the state are not allow ed, Russell says, to spend school dis­trict m oney to defeat the bill which will, if carried, cut their revenue of those districts in some

CHAPTER V ll—Continued.

"Oh. that was as easy as pie; I’d often explored them. Do you remem­ber the row 1 got Into, Blanche, for taking you with me ouce and simply ruining your frock?"

"I remember the frock!” aald Blanche.

It was her laet contribution to the conversation; Immediate develop­ments not only put an end to the fur­ther exchange o f ancient memories, but rendered it presently impoeslble by removing Cazalet from the scene with the two detectives. Almost with­out warning all three disappeared down the makeshift trap-door cut by one of tbem as a schoolboy In hia fatber'B floor.

Sbe hardly even knew how It hap­pened. The llttie place was so small that she never saw the hole until It had engulfed two of the trio; the third explorer, Mr. Drlnkwater himself, had very courteously turned her out of the library before following the others. And he bad said ao very little before­hand for her to hear, and so quickly prevented Caaaiei irum saying any­thing at all, tbat she simply could not think what any of them were doing under tbe floor.

Under her very feet ahe beard them moving as she waited a bit In the hall; then she left the house by way of the servants' quarters, of course without holding any communication with those mutineers, and only Indignant that Mr. Drlnkwater should bave requested her not lo do so.

It was a long half-hour that followed for Blanche Macnalr. but she passed It characteristically.

She turned her wholesome mind to dogs, wbich io some ways she knew better and trusted further than mea There was a dog at Uplands, and as yet sha had seen nothing of him; be lived tn a large kennel In the yard, for he was n large dog and rather friendless. But Blanche knew him b.v sight, and bad felt always sorry for bIm.

The large kennel was just outside tbe back door, which was at the top of the cellar steps and at the bot­tom of two or three leading Into the scullery; but Blanche, of course, went round by the garden. She found tbe poor old dog quite disconsolate In a more canine kennel In a corner of the one that waa really worthy of the more formidable carnivora. There was every sign of bis being treated as fhe dangerous dog that Blanche. Indeed, had heard he was; the outer bars were further protected by wire netting, which stretched like a canopy over the whole cage; but Blanche let her­self in with aa llttie hesitation as she proceeded to beard the poor brute In his inner lalr. And he never even barked at her; he just lay whimpering with hls tearful nose between bis two front paws, as though bis dead master had not left him to the eervanta all his life

Blanche coaxed and petted him un­til she almoat wept herself; tben sud-

I denly and without warning the dog showed his worst side. Out he leaped

i from wooden sanctuary, almost knock­ing her down, and harking horribly, but not at Blanche. Sbe followed hts Infuriated eyee; and the back door wa.v framed a dusty and grimy flgure.

, Just climbing tnto full length on the cellar stairs, which Blanche had some difficulty In Identifying wltb that of Cazalet.

"Well, you really are a Sweep!" she cried when she had slipped ont Just Id Ume. and the now savage dog was still butting aod clawing at his bars. "How did you come out. and where are the enemy?"

"The old way," ho answered. “ I left I them down there."

"And what did you find?""I'll tell you later, I can't hear my

ont Into the yard, and round to tbe right, paet the tradesmen's door, to the verge of the drive. Here they met an elderly man tn a tremendous hurry —an unstable dotard wbo instantly abandoned whatever purpose he had •ormed, and came to anchor In front i! toem with rheumy eyes and twitch • i wt,Okies

'( that Isn’t Miss Blanche!"

he quavered. "Do you hear our Roy, m ils? I ha n't heard that go on like that since the night that happened!”

Tben Cazalet Introduced himself to the old gardener whom be had known all bis Ufe; and by rights the man ahould have wept outright, or else emitted a rustic epigram laden with wise humor. But old Savage hailed from silly Suffolk, and all bis lUe he bad belled hia surname, but never the alliterative Ilbel on hia native county. He took the wanderer's return very much as a matter of course, very much as though he had nerer been away at all, and was demonstrative only In his further use of tbe East Anglian pronoun.

"That's a long time since we fared to aee yon, Mus' Walter," said he; "that's a right long time! And now here’s a nice kettle of flsb for you fo find! But I seen the man, Mus' Walter, and we'll bring tbat home to him, never you fear!"

"Are you sure that you saw him?" asked Blanche, already under Caza­let's Influence on this point.

Savage looked cautiously toward the house before replying; then he lowered his voice dramatically. "Sure. Miss Blanche. Wby, I see him that night as plain as I fare to see Mus' Walter now!"

"I should have thought It was too dark lo see anybody properly," said Blanche, and Cazalet nodded vigorous­ly to himself.

"Dark, Miss Blanche? Why, there was broad daylight, and If tbat wasn't there were the lodge lights on to see him by!" His stage voice fell a sepul chral semitone. "But 1 aee him again at the station this very afternoon, I did! I promised not to talk about that—you’ll keep that a secret If I tell 'e somethin'?— but I picked him out of half a dozen at the first time of askin’ !"

Savage said this wltb a pleased and vacuous grin. looking Cazalet full In tbe face; bis rheumy eyes were red as tbe sunset they faced; and Cazalet drew a deep breath as Blanche and he turned back toward the river.

"First time of prompting. I expect! he whispered. "But there’s hope tf Savage is their strongest witness."

"Only listen to tbat dog." said Blanche, as they passed tbe yard.

CHAPTER vm.

Finger-Prints.Hilton Toye waa the kind of Ameri­

can who knew London as well as most Londoners, and some otber capitals a good deal better than their respective citizens of corresponding intelligence. His travels were mysteriously but en vlably interwoven with business; he had an air of enjoying himself, and at tbe same time making money to pay for his enjoyment, wherever he wenl His hotel daya were much the same all over Europe: many appointments, but abundant leisure. As, bowever, be never spoke about his own affairs un less tbey were also those of the lis­tener—and not always then—half his acquaintances had no idea how he made hls money, and the other half wondered how he spent his time. Of his mere interests, which were many Toye made no sueh aecret; but It was quite impossible to deduce a main In dustry from the by-products of his level beaded versatility.

Criminology, for example, was an obvious by-product; It was no morbid taate In Hilton Toye. but a scientific hobby that appealed to bis mental subtlety. And subtle he was. yet with strange simplicities; grave and dignified, yet addicted to the expres slve phraseology of bla less enllght ened countrymen; naturally sincere and yet always capable of some In genuous duplicity.

The appeal o f a Blanche .Macnalr to such a soul needs no analysis. She had struck through all complexities to the core, such as it was or as sbe might make ft. As yet she could only admire the character the man had shown, though tt bad upset her none the less At Engelberg he bad pro­posed to her "Inside of two weeks," as be had admitted nitbout compunc­tion at the time, ft had taken him he said, about two minutes to make up bis mind; but the following sum mer be had laid more deliberate siege In accordance with some old idea that she had let fall to soften her first re­fusal. The result had been the same only more explicit on both sldea She had denied him Ihe least particle of hope, and he had warned her Ihat she had nol heard the last o f him by sny means, and never would till she mar­ried anotber man. This bad Incensed her at the time, but a great deal less on subsequent reflection; and such was the poslUon between that pair when Toye and Cazalet landed In Eng land from the same steamer.

On this second day ashore, as Caza let sat over a late breakfast in Jer myn street Toye sent In his card and waa permitted to follow it. rather to his surprise. He found his man frank­ly divided between kidneys-and-bacon and tbe morning paper, but In a hearty mood, indicative of amends for bis

I great heat in yesterday’s argument

A’SEXCELLENlplainer Indication was the down­right yet sunny manner.in which Caza­let at once returned to tbe contenUoua topic.

"Well, my dear Toye, what do you think of It now?"

I was golug to ask you wbat you thought, but 1 guess I can aee from your face."

1 think the police are rotters for not setting him free last night!"

"Scruton?""Yes. Of course, the case'll break

down when It comes on next week, but they oughtn't to wait for that. They've no right to detain a man in custody wben the bottom's out of tbeir cass already."

"But— but the papers claim they've found the very things tbey were searching for." Toye looked non­plused, as well he might, by an appar­ently perverse jubilation over such In-telllgence ■ . . 1 denly brought the country Into n po- I

It Is not fair to the farmers of the Prairies to call the wheat crop of 1015 a "miracle” crop. The farmers culti­vated more land anil gave attention to their seed. Providence gave thera favorable weather. Then they tolled early and late In the harvesting and threshing. Good cultivation gave big­ger yields than careless work, 45 bush­els ns against 25.

The wealth of Western Canada Is h.v no means all In Its wheat crop. If the country hnd no wheat nt all It would still be famous as a land of suc­cessful farmers on account of Its stock production. From one shipping point (High River, Alberta) over ST.t.lXW.tX) worth of horses have been sold tn the Inst two months. The average price to the farmer has been about $175.00 per head. According to Government returns there are a million nnd a half horsdk In JInnltohn, Saskatchewan nnd Alberta, worth probnbiy $150,000,000.

The inve.stments which farmers of Western Canada are making tn live­stock and farm Impr-OYements are good evidence of the fact thnt they hnve money for these purposes. It Is

j apparent, however, thnt they nre also I spending some of their profits on

those things which will bring greater comfort nnd enjoyment to themselves, their wives nnd their families.

Oklahoma City.—A call for between 700 and 800 recruits, tbe numbei necessary to bring the First regiment of the Oklahoma National Guard up to normal maximum strength, was Issued by Governor Williams as commander- in-chief of the guard.

The organization of the Second reg­iment of Oklahoma guards, wbich bas been urged since the issuance of the mobilization order, will not likely to be permitted by tbe war department until the present regiment is recruited to full strength, according to the gov­ernor.

He points out that those desiring to enter the Second regiment can lay the predicate for such an organization by assisting In bringing the present regi­ment up to the strengin required by the war department.

Following is the governor's call:"The First regiment of Oklahoma

National Guard bas now mobilized at Fort Sill, Okla., with all of Its units organized or In process of organiza­tion, but it is necessary to raise be­tween 700 and 800 recruits in order to get the regiment up to Its normal max.

“ It ia likely that the war depart­ment will not permit the organization of a second regiment until this regi­ment is recruited to its normal maxi­mum strength and those who desire to participate 'n the organization of a second regiment can lay the predicate for such organization by joining hands and working to organize the First reg­iment to the desired strength.

t The Wheat YieldsTells the StoryWestirn Canada’s Rapid Progressavy crops in Western Canada have caused

new records to be made in the handling of grains by railroads. For, while the movement of these heavy shipments has been wonderfully rapid, the resources of the different roads, despite enlarged equipments and increased facilities, have been strained as never before, and previous records have thus been broken in all directions.The largest Canadian wheat shipments through New York ever known are reported for the period up to October 15th, upwerds of lour end ■ quarler million bushels being exported in less than six weeks,and this was but the overflow of shipments to Montreal, through which point shipments were much larger than to New York.

Yields as high as 60 bushels of wheat per acre are reported from all parts of the country; while yields of 45 bushels per acre are common. Thousands of Amerioon farmers have taken part in this wonderful pr®

duction. Land price* are still low and free homestead lands are easily secured in good loaalitiea. convenient to churche*, schools, markets, railways, etc.

The German headquarters Is at Saint Quinten, twenty-five miles south of Peronne. Alreiidy the French forces threaten Peronne with the evideat purpose ot cutting the trunk rallwaj there, which Is an Indispensable aiTerj for German military reinforcements.

The speed of the advance of the en­tente allied troops Is taken as show­ing that the perfection of artillery preparations exceeded anything yet done in the destruction of field works.

Aggressive Taken At Verdun. Desperate fighting continues around

■Verdun, and although this fleld of action ia separated by nearly 100 miles from the fightlilg in the north, Verdun Is considered part ot the vast military plan now unfolding.

The French now'have taken the ag- presslve at Verdun, the report show­ing an attack on Dead Man’.# Hill with heavy German losses and the taking of prisoners by the French. The French are thus keeping the Germans tully occupied at Verdun and are pre venting them from sending reinforce ments to relieve their weakened lint In the north.

Additional successes are reporteO by Petrograd, the official communica­tion announcing that Austrian posi­tions weat of Kolomea, in Galicia, have been taken by storm after intense flghting with the capture of 2,000 pris­oners, the greater number of them in­toxicated, the statement says. The AustroGermnns in Volhynla are mak­ing resperate counter attacks,

The Italians also report gains neat Monfalcon and Trentino. There is no activity In Servia. Incidentally with the Anglo-Ffrench offensive the Turk­ish second army has launched a gen­eral offensive against the Russians in Persia on a front extending from Ker- manshah to Urumiah lake.

The last considerable offensive un­dertaking by the British drive in force, was at Loos in September, 1915 In conjunction with a similar French effort in the Champagne dl-strict. The British captured Loos and claimed to have taken 20,000 German prisoners and many guns. They were unable to press home their advantage, however, because, according to the British war offlce, the reserves failed to arrive on time.

perience In the war quickly threw up strong earthworks around the villages thus taken in order to protect them against counter-attacks. It was not before night, however, that the Ger­mans were able to deliver any counter­attacks. This was centered against the French position on the outskirts of Hardcourt and It was repulsed with heavy losses ending In a precipitate retreat.

CHAPTER Vlll—Continued.

Cazalot excuBfd himself with deci­sion. He had n full morning In front of him He was going to sec .Miss Macnalr's brother, son of the lale head of his father's old (Inn of sollcllors. and now one of the (mrtners, to get them either to tske u|) Scrulon's case themselves, or else to recommend a Orm perhaps more accustomed to crliiiinsl piacllcc. Caznlot wus alwiiys spt to he elHborale In the flrst person slngulivr, ollher In tho [iast or In the (ulurc tense; but ho was more so lhan usual In explaining Ills consid­ered Intentions In this matter lhat luy so very near hls heart.

■T.olng lo see Scruton. too?" said Toye.

"Nol noccsBarlly," was the short re ply. Uut It also waa elahoratod by Cazalet on a moment's consideration. The fnct was that he wanted flrst to know l( It were not possible, by Iho intervention of a really Influential law­yer, to obtain Ihe prisoner's Immediate release, at any rate on hall. 1( Impos­sible, ho might hesitate to force him self on Scruton In the prison, but he would see

"It's a perfect scandal thal he should bc there at all," snid Cazalet, as ho rose llrst aud ushered Toye out luto I the lounge. "Only tblnk: our old gardener saw him run out of the drive st half paat seven, whon the gong went, when the real murderer must have been shivering In the Michael- Angelo cupboard, wondering how the devil ho was ever going to get out again."

"Thon you think old man C raven - begging his poor pardon—was getting out soma cigars wben the man. who­ever he wna. came In und knocked him on tlie head?"

Cazalet nodded vigorously. "That's the likeliest thing of all!" ho cried. "Thon the gong went—there may even have eome a knock at the door—and there was tbal cupboard standing open at his elbow."

"With a hole In Ihe floor that might hnvo been made for him?"

"Aa it happbns, yea; he'd search every Inch like a ral In a trap, you see; and there It wns aa I'd left It '.wenty years before."

"Well. It's a wonderful yarn!" ex­claimed Hilton Toye. and he lighted the clgur that Cazalet had given him

"I think ll may be tbought nne If Ihe police ever own how they mado Ihelr lind," agreed Cazalet, laughing and looking at hia watch Toye hnd never heard him laugh so often "Uy Ihe way, Orinkwater doesn't want any nf all this to come out until he's dragged his man betore the beak igfcln."

"Which you menn to prevent?"' If only I can! I more or less prom

Ised nol to talk, however, and I’m •ure you won't You know so much already, you may Just ns well know the rest this week as well as ne.xt. If you don’t mind keeping ll to your- lelf."

Nobody could have minded Ihls par­ticular embargo leas than Hlllon Toye He saw Cazalet off with a smile that was as yel merely puzzled, nnd nol unfriendly until he had time to recall Mlsa Blanche’s pnrt In the strange sffnir of the previous afternoon

Sny. weren't they rather Intimate, those two. even If they had known mcb other all their lives? Ile had It Irom Blanche I wllh her second re­fusal) tbat sho was not, and never Sad been, engaged. And a fellow who jnly wrote to her once In a year— Itlll. they must have been darned In­timate, and this funny affair would bring them together again quicker thaa anything

Say. what a funny affair ll was when )ou came lo thing of It! Funny all through. It now struck Toye; begln- sing on board ship with that dream of Cazalet’s about the murdered man. leading to all that talk of the old grievance agninst htm. and rulmlnat- !ng In bis actually finding the iniple- ments of the crime 13 his Inspired ef­torts 10 save the man of whoae Inno- ten c ' lie was so positive Say. If

that llazalei bad not been on hls way home from Australia ut Ibe time!

I.Ike many dellherule speakers. Toye thought like llgliinlng. and hud reached tills point before he was a hundred yard# from the hotel; then he thought of something else, and retraced his steps He retraced them even lo tho table al which he had sal with I'uznlet not very many minutes ago; tho wall­er was only now heglnnlng lo clear away.

"Say. waiter, what have you dono wllh Ihe menu Hint was In that toust- rack? There was something on 11 that W'e rather wanted to keep."

"I thought Ihere wna, sir," said the Kngllsh waiter at that ndnilruble ho­tel. Toye, however, prepared to talk to him llko nn American uncle nf Dutch extraction

"Y’ou thought that, aud you took It awny?"

"Not at all, elr, I 'appened to ob­serve the other gentleman put the menu In hia pocket, behind your back as you were getting up, because I passed a remark about It to the bead waiter at the time!"

bts Italy ovi rbind Kalher a good Idea I Ihought. especially as be said hn had friends In Itome; hut we never heard of 'em beforehand, and I should have let the whole thing strike me a bit sooner If I'd been Cazalet. Soon enough to lake a hand-bag and a toottibrush, eh? And I don't think I should bave run It qulle so flue at (lenoa, eit'.ier. Hut there are rum birds 1.1 this world, snd always will bc!"

Toye felt one himself ss he picked hls way tbrough St. James' square. If it had not been Just afler lunch, he would have gone straight and had a coqktall. for of coursu he knew the only place for them. 'vVhat he did was lo slue round out of the square, nnd lo obtain fur thu asking, at ar.other old haunt, on Cockspur street, the latest Ultle ttmo-tablc of cor.tinenlal Iraiiis This he carried, not on (not but tn a tail, to the Savoy Hotel, where It kept him busy In his own roo;n for the best part of another hour. Uut by tlmt time Milton Toye looked more than an hour older lhan on Bit­ting down at hls wrlllng-tablc with pencil, paper and the little book of trains; he looked horrltled. he looked distressed, and yet ho looked crafty, determined and Immensely alive. He proceeded, however, to take some of tbe life out of hlmaelf. and to add still tnore to his apparent age, by repair Ing (or more Inward light to a Turk­ish bath

Now the only Turkish bath, accord­iug to Hilton Toye's somewhat exclus­ive code, waa not even a hundred yards from Cazalet's holel; and there the visitor of the morning again pre­sented himself before the afternoon; now merely a lltlle worn, as a man

CHAPTER IX.

Fair Warning.It wns much more than a map of

the metropolis that Toye carried In his ahle head lie knew the right places for the right thlnga. Me gazed criti­cally at his boots Ho wus not so dend sure thut he had struck the only man for boots There had been a young fellow aboard the Kaiser Fritz, quite a little bit of a military blood, who had com e ashore In a pair of cloth lops that hud rather unsettled ,Mr. .Toyu's mind Just un that one point.

Captain Aylmer had said he would like to have Toye see hls club any time he wus passing and cared 10 look In (or lunch. Ho bad suld ao as tbough he would llko It a great deal, and suddenly Toye bad a mind to toke him at his word right now. The idea began with tbose boots wltb cloth tops, but that was nol all there was to 11; there waa something else that hud been at tbe back of Toye's mind all morning, uud now took charge In front.

Aylmer had talked some about a Job lo the war ofllce that enabled him to lunch dally at the Rag; but whut hla Job had been aboard a Oerman steam­er Toye did not know und waa not the man to Inquire. It was no business of hls. anyway Reference to a caVd. traded for his own In Southampton Water, and duly llled In hls cigarette- case, reminded him of the Rag’s prop­er style und’ tltle. And there he was eventually entertained to a sound, workmanlike, rather expeditious meal.

"Sny. did you see the cemetery at Genoa?" suddenly Inquired the vis­itor on tlielr way back through the hall. A martial bust had been ad­mired extravagantly before the ques­tion

"Never want to see It again: or Oe- noa either," said Captain Aylmer "The smoking-room's this way."

"Did you say you wore there two days?" Toye wag cutting hls cigar us though tt were a corn.

"Two wholo days, and we’d had a night in the Bay of Naples Just be­fore."

"Is that so? I only came aboard al Ocnun. I guess 1 was wise." added Toye, as though he wna thinking of

i something else. There was no sort of feeling In hls voice, but he waa sucking his left thumb.

"I say, you ve cut yourself!""1 guess It's nothing. Knife too

si.arp; please don't worry, Captain Aylmer. I wns going to say I only got on al Genoa, and they couldn't give me a room to myaelf. I had lo go In with Cazalet; that's how I saw ao much of him "

It was Toye's third and separate In­dependent attempt to Introduce the name and fame of Cazalet as a natural topic of conversation. Twice his host had listened with adamantine polite­ness; this time he was enjoying quite the second-best liqueur brandy to be bad at the Hag: aud he leaned buck in Ida chair

"Vou were rather Impressed with him. weren't you?" said Captain Ayl­mer "W ell, frankly, I wasn't, but It may hnve beeu my fault."

"1 waa only going to ask you one thing about Mr. Cazalet." Toye said, "and I gueSa I've a reason for asking, though there's no time to state It now Wbat did you think ol him. Captain Aylmer, on the whole?"

"Ah. there you have me. 'On the whole' Is Just the dlfflculty," said Ayl mer, answering the straight question readily enough "I thought he was a very good chap as far as Naples, but after Genoa he was another being I've sometimes wondered what happened in h's three or four days ashore."

"Three or four, did you say?”And at the last moment Toye would

have played Wedding Guest to Ayl­mer's Ancient .Mariner,

"Yes; you see. be knew theae Ger man boats waste a couple of days at Genoa, so he landed at Naples and did

will look after losing a 'stone an hour on a warm afternoon, ond a bit blue again about the chin, wblch of course looked a little deeper and stronger on that account.

Cazalet was not In; his friend would wait, and In fact waited over an hour In the Uttle lounge. An evening paper was offered to bim; he took it listless ly, scarcely looked at It at first, then tore It In his anxiety to find something Ue had quite forgotten—from the newspaper end But he was waiting as stoically as before when Cazalcl arrived In tremendous spirits.

"Stop and dine!" he cried out at once

"Sorry I can’t; got to go and see somebody,” said Hilton Toye.

"Theu you must have a drink.""No. I thank you," said Toye, wllh

the decisive courtesy of a total ab­stainer

"You look as If you wanted one; you don't look a bit Ht," said Cazalet, most kindly.

"Nor am 1, s ir !" exclaimed Toye. "I guess l.ondon's no place for me la the fall. Just as well, too. 1 Judge, sluce I’ve got to llgbt out aguin straight away."

"You haven’t !""Yes. sir, thia very night. That’s

the worst of a business that takes you to all the capitals of Europe in turn It takes you so long to lilt around that yop never know when you've got to start In again,"

"Which capital Is 11 this time?" said CiizbIcL His exuberant geutallty had been dashed very visibly for the mo ment. But already his high spirits were reasserting themselves; Indeed, a cynic with nn ear might have caught the note of sudden consolation tn Ihe question that Cazalet asked so briskly

"Oot to go down to Rome," said Toye, watching the effect of his words.

"But you've just come back from there!" Cazalet looked no worse than puzzled

"No, sir, I missed Rome out; thal was my mistake, und here's this situ­ation been developing behind tuy back."

"What situation?''"Oh. why. ll wouldn't Interest you!

But I’ve got to go down to Rome, whether 1 like 11 or not, and I don't like It any, because I don't hnve any friends there And that’s what I'm do­ing right here. 1 was wondering If you'd do something for me. Cazalet?"

“ If I can," said Cazalet, "with pleas­ure." But hls smiles wero gone.

"I wns wondering If you'd give me an Introduction to those friends of yours In Home!”

There wns a little pause, and Caza­let's longue just showed between hls Ups. moistening them It was al that moment the only touch of color In his face.

"Did I tell you I'd any frieuds there?"

The sound of his voice was perhaps less hoarse than puzzled. Toye madi himself chuckle as be sat looking up out of somber eyes.

"Well. If you didn’t," said he. “I guess I Bvksl bave dreamed I t "

D O A N ' SFOSTERJdlLBURN CO BUFFALO, N. Y.

Tlie story of the remnrkiihle voyiige made by this gubmnrlne— Ihe flrst to cross the Atlantic ocean—through a maze of hostile warshlp.s, has been told simply hy Capt. I’aul Koenig, com­mander of the umlersoa craft.

Koenig was modest about it all. Ile had a few words o f praise for Ids crew nnd none for himself. When he spoke o f the fatherland his eyes spar­kled and his whole body twitched with eagerness. When he talked of “Just dropping down wlien he saw a de­stroyer” his voice wns calm.

Would He Surrender?.Tust onee did he display real emo­

tion. That was wlien toward the end nf the Interview this question wns suddenly shot nt h im ;

“ Suppose on your way Imck, Just a.s .vou left the Virginia capes, yon saw a destroyer liearliig mercilessly down npon yon. Suppo.se thero wasn’t time to dodge, wasn’t time to subinergo, what would you do? Would you sur­render?"

Tlie iinder.sea skipper’s fare turned a sudden red Hint looked miner uuder Ills (hick weather tan. Ills Iiands clenelied, his eyes flaslied, Ilieil slowly each word painfully thought out, cnme

1 the answer;] "W ould I surrender? I—couldn’t I tell ahout tlmt—positively I can’t. I ! don't know—surrender? I think the j moment would bring the decision. Yes, j thnt moment would cnrry Its own de- 1 cision.”

That wns the spoken reply, hut in every hit of the man’s tone, in every set line of Ids face could be rend the real answer—Capt. I’ nnl Koenig ha.s no intenlion thnt (he Deutschland shall

j ever fall Into enemy Imnds.Feara No Enemy Warship.

And he hns every confidence thnt he will tnkc the Deutschland bnck to Rremen loaded with the rubber nnd nickel thnt the Fatherland so craves for Its munition fnctorle.s.

"Six, ton, a dozen, twenty cruisers outside will not stop us," he exclaimed. "W e will go back; we will go back eiisy. And we will come ngain, und othera will come and trade will go bnck nnd forth, nnd the Rrltish block­ade— tlmt will he a thing to laugh at.

“The future of the submarine has now been proved to be unlimited," he asserted. “There Is practically no maximum to their capacity; their mechanism has • been perfected; we hnve shown tlmt they do anything nny otlier ship can do, nnd more besides.

"About that 1 nm positive. The coming of the Deutschlnml. 3,800 miles to America, and her arrival with a range of almost ten thousand miles left, with fuel and water nnd supplies nnd everything for thnt much travel still nboard. shows thnt you cnn go nlth n sulminrlno simply where you want to go."

Koenig Is a smnll man. ordinarily looking until he lieglns to talk, when his force nnd personality become at once apparent.

First Submarine Trip.One of the first questions nsked of

him brought Ann o f the mn.st surpris­ing replies nf Hie interview. Renne.st- ed to tell in detail o f all the submarine experience he had before being select­ed to attempt the crossing, he replied quickly;

“ Hut yon see I have not had nny. Of course we practiced after we went aboard. We practiced a grent deal. NnvlgiiHon 1 know. Submarines I think I know now.

How They Submerged.Nothing- more vlvld ahout adven­

ture could be drawn from Koenig than the detailing of these times “©ve jnst sank." As fnr as his words went, that was sll there wns to It. A vessel wns sighted; the Dentschland was quickly .submerged; she ran nlong under water for a time, and then—she cnme up and opened her hatches for fresh air, while nfflcei-s nnd men went nbont fheir work, their rest, or tbeir play.

"Once each dny we submerged a.s s practice drill," he snld, “nnd he»lde» we sulimergod, us I remember, flvl times In the Norlh sea, six in the Eng ll.sh channel, ami three or four In Hi« open water.

“Yes," laughing heartily, "yes, each time there was a renson.

"Tho longest we uctunlly stayed un­der was that ten liours In the English channel, hut we could stay four dnys.At the end of Hint time our bntterle.s would he exbnustetl. nnd we would have to rlso and recharge them. Dur­ing Hie entire trip we traveled a total if nlnely miles under water.

“As fur as the physical elTcct on Hm sliip’s company la concerned, we could reiimhi forever. Wo cun submerge fifty futhoms—Hiree Inmdred (eet—but as a limiter of fact we never went nearly Hint deep, and probulily never shall."

Liked the Submerging.Tbose on Hie Dentseliliuid liosldei

blmself were First Male Kriipulil, Sec- ; ond Mate Gyring, Chief Engineer Klels | and ll erew of 2.© men. KleLs, he said, over and over again, wns "Hie most Im- [loitiint o f all.’’ Then he told how Hie erew spent the time.

“On hoard they busied Hiemsel..'S with the imtcliliieiT. for praelleiHly all nf them nre ineelmnles. Tbey plnyed curds, nml Ihey had thelr singing nnd ! Hieir sleeping and tbelr sltllng about, ] nnd Hie time passed. !

“Rest of all. Hie.v— all of us. In fact— llkid the submerging. Unplen.sniitl Indeed It wns not. It was Juat llko sinking into a sort o f blue nost. We open the portholes, nnd then Ihrongh the glass we eould see the llsh nnd tha formntlone of Hie aea, nud always we listened, listened, listened.

"Uow do we listen? There nro aboard two nilerophiines, nnd with them we were iible to hear the whis­tling of a buoy six mllea off when we were under water. And Jnst before we | came np nbout thirty miles from the i Virginia capes, we wore able to lieiir j the ringing of a hell Imoy six mllea frnm us. I

“The screw nf a ship we could hear quite plainly while it was yet a safo distance from ns. More than •hearing It. we eould tell wheHier It wns a cruiser or a destroyer. It was quite fasclimtlng to listen so.

Details of the Trip.Cuptaln Koenig did nnt lake jhe

Dentsclilund nronnd Scotland, ns has lieen conjectured. lie came straiglit tlirough Hie Clmnncl, lie said. |

“ We left Rreraerhaveti nt noon on June 14. We proceeded quietly to Hel­goland ; there we stayed four dny.s. | There were three reasons for thnt: No ship proceeds all the wny nfter start­ing. It Is too ea.sy to calculate when slie mny be expected nt some given place. So wo lay in wait n wlille. Then, too. we wanted to train the mon. During those four days we drilled and tnught them hard, und wlicn once more we proceeded we had a capnlile sub­marine crew.

“Again, we hud to trim Hie cargo. That must alwa.vB be done after a stnrt Is made. W e must shift tilings about nnd stow them away. And every­thing needs to be tested. All worked nicely.

©Ve carried ISO tons of fue.l oil. Of thnt we hnve II.5 tons left—more than enongh to take us bnck—and we sliall not ship nny more here. Then we car­ried many tons o f oxygen nnd twenty tons o f fresh water, of which we had ten left.

Tlie last time we submerged was as we were nearing the Virginia capes and we saw an American boat ap­proaching. Wc thouglit it waa a fruit boat so we Just dipped under for Hie last time. Tlie men were always glnd whon we did that—It made snch .smooth traveling. The Deutsclilnnd scarcely roils nt all under wnter.

And thnt about completes tlie story of the voyage. W e 1 raveled, we saw .ships nnd submerged, we traveled again on Hie surface and at last we arrived.’’

The Deutschland, built by the Knipp Germania works, coat .$.500,000. Tills voyage will pny for her, he said.

Boat a Mass of Machinery.As descrltied liy Dr. Joiin C. Travers,

assistant U. S. health ofllcer, who was taken through the bout hy Captain Koenig, the Doutschinnd’s Interior ap­pears to he mainly a mass o f mnchln­ery. She hns but one deck below nnd a seventeen-foot depth of hold for her cargo. Dr. Travrrs descended thrnngh the forwnrd hutch, where he found the crew’s quarters, hnnks on either side o f a narrow passageway lending to compartments occupied by the cap­tain nnd his two officers. Tlie cap­tain’s room Is scarcely six feet square nnd barely high enough (or a man to stand.

It Is furnished all tn metal, with Hie exception o f a small oak desk. Directly beneath the offli’er.s’ quarters Is the dynamo, which stores electrical energy to drive the vessel when sub­merged.

Next Dr. Travers was taken Into the officers’ messroom, scarcely larger than the staterooms, ©vith a galley bnllt with all the economy of space of n Pullman dlnlng-car kitchen. Aft the messroom, about on®thlrd the ship’s length from her stern. Is the submerging mnchlnery and two peris­copes.

Calls It Amazing Sight.“ 1 never saw such a mass of ma­

chinery in my life.” snld Dr. Trnvera. “ It wns an amazing sight nnd I doubt if it would mean much except to the engineer who designed It. There seemed to be 5,000 different plecefr an inexplicable tangle of burnished copper und glistening steel.”

Aft o f the submerging machinery were the snbraarlue’s two powerfo* Diesel oil engines which propel her on the surface.

CnptnlD Koenig told the doctor thnt while on the surface the noise of thr machinery was almost deafen) ig.

Washington.— Immediate organiza­tion of an extensive natlonni guard re­cruiting service was authorized by the war department to bring regiments on border duty up to full war strength of abiut 160,000 men. With nearly 50,000 regulars on border duty, the govern­ment would have 210 ,000 men or more engaged In protecting the line.

Three offlcers will be assigned to the recruiting service for each regi­ment ordered to the front. Each sep­arate battalion, company, biiltcry or other unil will have one offlcer. The adjutant general of the respective states will supply the names of offl­cers for this duty.

Recruiting has been made necessary hy the fact that all unlit men and those with dependents to aupport are to be discharged from the guard regi­ments aa rapidly aa possible.

Pound- ■nfi the backs nf unsunccting ones with return balls, made fun for all, deafening the crowds with whis­tles and other noise boxes furnish­ed great sport for fhe juveniles.

Aside from fhe above attrac­tions, moving pictures and other concessions were on fhe ground.

Service cars carried great num- hers to tbe grounds, making the trip about everv twenty minutes. Many from a distance were in at­tendance a nd all the near-hy roinmiinifies were well represen­ted.

TO THE VOTERS

Chickasha,Okla., July 17, 1916.Mr. J. D. Yoder, one of our

most popular and well-known candidates askmp for the office of County Weigher of Grady coun­ty, when asked why he was seek­ing for Ihis office of trust at the gift o f the people of Grady coun­ty, said:

’ ’ I was born in 1852, in Brown county, Indiana; I was married at the age of twenty-four and my wife and I hegan our life on a lit­tle farm; when thirty years old I moved to Missouri and two yeare afterwards hecame a citizen of this state. I moved to the Choc­taw Nation first and some yeare ago moved to Grady county and settled east of Chickasha on Bitter Creek. 1 have fried to live a con­sistent life; I have fried to he a Christian man; I helped to blaze the way lo civilization, and in my latter years lived among the best citizens in the world.

I would rather live in Grady county than anywhere on earth- I have not been successful in finan­cial matters, being a cripple, and at an age that does not permit me to do hard work. 1' can give the people of Grady county an honest service, and I believe that they will support me on the first day of August, 1916”

Pleaae note that this wealth Is In money. It Is not In real estate at In- flntHl values, industrial stocks thnt are half water and tbe rest nlr, flctltloiia goodwills or unsaleable merclianillse. It Is In hnrd cash, or— which Is bettor —bard wheat.

These figures are only for tbe stnpl# grain productions. They do not In­clude tlie iidlltoDS of dollars represent- F<l by the Uve stock and dairying Indus­tries, nr the addltlnnal millions Includ­ed In the root, fruit, nnd garden crops.

That's where the money Is; In tlie Jeans of our honest friend the farmer, who was tou slow to get into the cities when Ihe rest of us saw sliort-cuts to wealth ; who hadn't tniaglnallon enough to tblnk a man can make money with­out piirning It, und who wns too dull to know llmt hard work Is foolish, i WeU, he has the laugh now.

hours, with extra pay for extra time. Is the custom In this part o f the coun­try. Our maids are almost all the children of the original Mexican set­tlers of this seetion. Owing to the Ifatln-Amerlcan standards o f chaper- ronage, even the peon families greatly prefer the daughters are In their own homes at night. Fully two-thirds o f the Mexican maids live nt home. A very eommon arrangement Is work from 7 a. m. to noon weekdays, 8 to 11 a. m. Sundays, Uie usual wage $2.50; or the maid may remain UU 2 p. m.

and receive $3 a week, with one or two meals nt the home of the employer.

"They nre poor cooks, but excellent houseworkers, clean, nent. quick and respectful, and more dependable than the average In other parts of the coun­try. Indeed, barring only certain sec­tions In the South, there Is no pnrt of the United States where as good do­mestic workers mny be obtained (or the same wages, or where the girls themselves arc equally contented with Ihelr work.

New Post Toasties are known by tiny bubbles raised on each flake by the quick, intense heat of the new process of manufacture.

They bear the full, true flavour of prime, white Indian com, not found in corn flakes of the past; and they are not “chaffy” in the package; and they don’t mush down when milk or cream is added, like ordinary com flakes.

Try some dry—a good way to test the flavour, bnt rficy arc usually served with rich milk or cream—

Universal regret in Alex and Grady county followed the death o f Charles Callanan at his home here last Friday afternoon. Death was due to heat prostra­tion and’other complications.

His illness extended over a pe­riod o f about three weeks, al­though, against the advice of friends and relatives, he trans­acted business up until a few days before his death.

Mr. Callanan waa a native of Iowa, having been born near Ma­son City, of that state, sixty four years ago. He came to Alex twelve yeara ago snd engaged in the real estate business and was very successful in all his business ventures. He has h?ld many positions of trust in our eommunity. Mr. Callanan was nostmaster about three years, being succeeded by Mr. Stein, and was president of the city council at the tiipe of his death. The demise ia a distinct loss to A lex, where he haa concentrated his efforts since the pioneer daya o f our town.

T o the average newspaper reader, the death of Mr. Calla­nan a few' days ago meant noth­ing except that an old citizen and successful business man had nassed away. But to the people o f Alex and vicinity it meant a good deal more. For Mr. Calla­nan was a man who made friends and kept them, and the longer they knew bim the better they loved him. What he would not do for one o f his real friends was beyond his power to do at all. And he was only a true friend, but a most lovable associ­ate and companion. Many a good citizen o f Alex has been ta­ken to the cemetery for whose loss fewer irenuine regrets have been felt than for Charles Calla­nan.

Mr. Callanan was a member o f the Odd Fellows lodge and was given all the comfrrts and bene- tits o f that organization.

His body wss taken to Mason C ity, Iowa, for interment. Mrs. Callanan accompanied the re­mains to their Isst resting place.

The Tribune offers its sympa­thy, with that of the entire com­munity, to the sorrowing rela­tives and friends o f this good man and true.

danm on every aide. All told, the present and the immediate and further future o f Grady county look to be decidediv rose­ate. Certainly, seldom have we had less excuse for pessimism and more reason for optimism. What more could be asked with­out incurring the suspicion of being greedy?

Conductor Bradley seems to know every pas­senger on his run and his magnet­ic smile and politeness seem to be contageous.

To my Friends and Voters o f Grady Co.:I wish to inform you that I am

out of ths race for Court Clerk for the reaaon I have been so busy on my farm like dther farm­ers, and forgot to file. I inten­ded to file and open my campaign on the first Monday in July and devote my entire time and atten­tion to mv candidacy until the primary, but I had failed to in­form myself that the first Tues­day in August came on August 1st, and as the law provides that all candidates shall file thirty days prior to the primary, 1 ahould have gone to town Satur­day inatead of Monday, “ like most of we rubes do ” I am sole­ly to blame and have no sore spots, and feel about as well as when I atarted. But I want to say, I did not quit purposely, for those who know me best, knows I am not a quitter, and I have never doubted my ability to win. if 1 got out and worked for it. I am out o f the race and simply a voter the same as the rest of you, and it is now un to us to nomi­nate the candidate whose past and present reeord shows that him or her to be morally clean and capable, and with a back bone stiff enough to keep clean during the term of office. One who will economize, realizing that the ones who pay them are the ones who by their labor cre­ate the wealth of universe, wish to thank my many friends over the county who were in­tending to vote for me, for their loyal support, and assure them that I fe I deeply oblived for their help just the aame as if I had finished the race and won.

In concluuon will say, when out in the jungles around Aga­wam pull on the string and walk in, I will be glad to meet you all and give vou the glad hand, not o f a candidate, but o fa friend and far "^er who is not out for a job, or afraid to hit the ball. Until we meet I beg to remain

the decision. Tate exhibited a terrific smashing blow that Flynn did not show, and had it not been for the foul many believe that the Chickasha aspirant would have won the bout.

Alex was well represented at the ringside. W. H. VincSnt motor­ed over tVith Frank Hamilton, J. H. Adair, James Cavender and Ray Holder; Walter Blakely's car carried James Bond, D. C. W il­son and Bob Freeney: A. L. Ramsey motored over with Em­mett and Flovd Cruse.

No matter how hot the weath­er gets in Grady county, it is not as hot as it is where a pillion shells are dropping every day, tearing off legs and arms o f boys who ought to be in school, and sending messages o f death to al­most every home in Europe. No man or woman who live in Gra­dy county has a right to grow about anything.

1913-14, anti was chairman of the board during those years and at the same time Oscar Simpson was! county attorney, and during the greater part o f said two years Judge B. F. Holding was deputy county attorney and Judge F'rank M. Bailey was district judge.

During my, said term o f office there was certain Indian tax cases and claims filed before the board of county commissioners and dis­trict court asking for refund of taxes paid on Indian lands under protest; these cases were tried be­fore Judge Frank M. Bailey and Oscar Simpson, then county attor­ney, either in person or through his assistant representing Grady county’s interest well, and after deliberation Judge Bailey render­ed judgement against Grady coun­ty in said cases, hereupon Oscar Simpson took the matter up be­fore fhe board o f county commis­sioners as to whether or not it was the desire of said board to have said cases appealed to the supreme court, requesting o f said board permission to do so, and the said board of county commiss'.oncrs after ascertaining the amount of cost necessary in each of said ca­ses to appeal the same and having full confidence in the dec'sion of Judge Bailey as to the law de­clined said request by county at­torney.

I further state that on all mat- terns where in a moneyed judge­ment claim for money was filed and asked against Grady county and where judgment was rendered against said county, it was Mr.Simpson’s desire and request for permission to appeal said cases at all times where the law was not specifically stated pertaining to the same.

1 further state that at all times while Iwas in office he as counly at­torney guarded cautiously the in­terest of Grady county, and was ever ready to take such steps as would be necessary to protect the county from civil liability.

1 make this statement in order that justice may be done to all parties concerned.

"Other cars destroyed were loaded principally with borax and salt. Scene of the explosion nnd flre Is In no way adjacent to the main pa.s- se.nger or freight terminals of the Le­high Valley either on the New York or New Jersey side."

This railroad company statement, the llrst to emanate from the source at which the disaster started, ignores

Total property damage from the ex­plosion Is estimated by the offlcials ut very least, as 25 millions.

The explosion was felt iu live states. New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut nnd Maryland,

The flrst source of the series of aw­ful blasts was the Lehigh Valley rail­way storehouse ul Black Tom Point, New Jersey. Five carloads of muni­tions (or Uie allies blew up ut 2:02 a. m. Sunday. Fbllowed hy this were other explosions and flre, raging be­tween Jersey City and Bayonne.

Somo minutes after tho flrst explo­sion, the National Storage freight cars carrying munilions for the allies blew up. Seven million damiige is the esti­mated loss (rom this blast alone.

Barge Ablaze, Hits Ellla Island.One shell-laden barge drifted down

the bay and, ablaze, hit Ellis Island. The explosion which followed struck do.wn emigrants, huddled on tho Is land. Los.s resulting from this explo sion is estimated at a million. He moval of terrilicd emigrants was be gun immediately. {

Two cars of shrapnel near the scene of the National Storage Company ex plosion were surrounded by flames shortly after the blast, and became unapproachable, terrorizing all within view wilh fear of another impending disaster.

From New York, toward the Jersey side, there began to appear a dull glow that grew brighter as the llrs which followed the Black Tom ex­plosion grew. The Black Tom districl is near Conmunlpaw, a part of Jersey City.

While various estimates of dead and injured are made, no actually definite conclusion can be reached yet Hospitals throughout the whole affect ed district, Jersey City, Brooklyn and New York were being crowded with injured. By daybreak over 100 bad been cared (or.

The first exploeion. which was fol­lowed by others, was at 2:08 Sunday morning.

As (or the actual origin of the first explosion, and as lo whether this wat the cause of the other explosions foi lowing, all is speculative. Chargei and counter charges are heard. Plot rumors are circulating widely, Invotv- ing lurid theories o f other disastert to come.

New York's llrst thought when tht Initial blast came was ‘earthquake."

Jersey City, Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn were the thickly populated regions bearing the chief brunt ol the major explosions. New York's skyline literally rocked, and from the lofty stories of her skyscrapers tell glass, shattered to bits. Streets (or blocks were carpeted with broken glass and small debris.

Partial panic in which even some of the city's police joined as prin­cipals followed the Initial shock. Into the streets swarmed men, women and children. Hysterics over the mystery the storage quake, as well as from the actual shock, spread to vastly In­creased degree as minor blasts were heard, following the Initial one.

preceded by similar scenes in resi­dences, big hotels and office build­ings, where people frantically sought exit.

CHy hospital authorities were faced with a hlg problem, when terror among patients resulted, after the great explosion many sick wero thrown to the floors of New York, New Jersey and Brooklyn hospitals.

Elevated, surface and even suiway trains wore shaken and many panes nf glass shattered. Panic around sub­way entrances was one predominar.lng oharacleristls of the scene in New York nnd Brooklyn.

Extent of the force of the explosion was emphasized by reports coming coming from five states, telHng that Ihe shock had been felt. Many Pern- '.vlvanla cltie.s and towns tell of feel­ing the quake distinctly.

The flrst cut-off of communication

State Is Compiling Estimates on Va­rious Fodder Cropa In State.

Oklahima City.— W. B. Hamlin, stat­istician for tho state department of agriculture, is now engaged in com­piling forage crops estimates. The figures will be given out shortly.

It Is known that the acreage la less lhan Ihat of last year. In the March crop report the kafir corn acreage was estimated at 13 per cent less than In 1915, feterita 30 per cent less, milo maize, 27 per cent leas. It is likely, however, Ihat with the forthcoming es­timate.? these figures will be In­creased, abandoned oats and wheat acreages having been planted to fod­der crops.

The production, it is expected, will run about the same as that last year, In proportion to acreage. The kafir corn acreage last year was 503,000 and milo maize 216,000. The kafir corn Is a pretty good drouth-resisting plant and hasn't been much affected by the dry weather.

The announcement concerning Ihe sorghum acreage will, it is anticipated, prove a surprise, being much larger than is generally believed. Tho 1915 sTcrage was 260,000.

r w o HUNDRED PRECINCTS INDI.CATE LITERACY TEST DE­

FEAT TWO TO ONE,

HUMPHREY IS NOMINATEDRace Still Doubtful For Long Term

Commissioner—Congressmen All Renominated.— Some

Races Close.

Unless late official figures cbange the result indicated lu tlrst returns the literacy test and all other pro­posed constitutional amendments were defeated in Tuesday 3 primary elec­tion.

Scattering Incomplete official re­turns from approximately 200 repre­sentative precincts indicate the liter­acy test lost by about 2 to 1, while the negative vote on the other pro­posed amendments will ba even larger.

At democratic state headquarters bope was held out that the literacy amendment would carry by a "safe margin,” while the defeat of the other propoeed amendments was conceded. Private advices received at republi­can state headquarters indicate the defeat of the literacy test amendment by a majority of 15,000, according to Arthur Gelssler, chairman of the re­publican state committee.

While the heaviest vote against the literacy amendment was recorded In republican and socialist strongholds the returns also indicate that many democratic votes were cast again.st It.

The literacy test amendment was designed to take the place of tbe nulli­fied "grandfather" clause, which was adopted at a special election in 1910 by a majority of 29,221 votes.

The early returns indicate that the proposed repeal of section 12A, the school tax distribution amendment, was voted down by a heavy majority.

The nomination of W. D. Humphrey of Nowata on the democratic side for the short term corporation commis­sioner appears certain, while in the contest for the long term nomination all of the candidates appear to be run­ning well, with Watson, Russell, Har­rison and Wlllmerlng having Ihe best of It.

Parkinson Nominated.Prank Parkinson of Lawton appears

to have been nominated by the repub­licans (or the long term and Judge J. U Brown of Oklaboma CHy for the short term.

All present congressmen, including Dick T. Morgan, republican, reporta indicate, bave been renominated ex­cept Congressman William H. Mur­ray, tn the 5©ourth district, who is re­ported tu be leading (wo of bis oppon­ents by only a small margin. Con- grepsman Joe B. Thompson in the Fifth district. Congressman Scott Fer­ris in the Sixth district and Con­gressman Jim McClintlc in the Sev­enth district had no opposition.

Three-Cornered Race Close.H. H. Smllh of Shawnee and Tom

D. McKeown of Ada are hoth run­ning close behind Murray. Early re­turns indicate that Murra.v will carry Creek counly while McKeown will cary Pontotoc, his home county, by a handsome majority over both Murray and Smith. In Shawnee, Smith's home town, he is running aoout even with Murray, both being far in the lead of .McKeown,

In the Second districl. Congressman W. W. Hastings of Tahlequah haa de­feated L. C. McNabb of Salllsaw by an overwhelming majority.

I The heaviest vote against the amendments was on those affecting the judiciary, which were voted down

by decisive majorities.I On the east side of the state where 1 there Is the greatest volume of pro­

bate businesa on account of the vast Indian population, a particularly heavy

' vote was recorded against the pro­posed abolition of county courts, which havo exclusive jurisdiction in probate matters.

In some instances returna so (ar in­dicate there might be a slight chance for the adoption of Die amendment ex­tending the workmen’s compensation law so as to include death cases; cre­ating a tax commission nnd establish­ing limltaliona on municipalities in in­curring indebtedness, but this is con­sidered extremely doubtful.

R A m GCattle and Horse Ranching in

Western Canada — Steers Brought 10 Cents a Pound

on the Seattle Market.

p s T m r aw m

Thnt blR money Is made by the large cattle rancher In Western Cuiiuda, und also by the small farmer as well, Is shown by the unillsputuhle facts pr® sented from time tu time. A rancher, near Glelchen, Alhertu, who com­menced In a small wuy nine years ngo, reeently disposed of 1,243 cuttle ut a total o f $101,304.50, and this was ouly his surplus stock for the present BPUSOD.

A December shipment of 217 head ot ranch steers brought the owner un av­erage of over !|i.SO per hend. They were tnken strulglit from the range without any grain feeding and were in excellent oonditiun to be sold for the Christ­mas trade. Another shipment o f 1.00 head, averaging $70 each, wns made lo Seattle. The hlgliest price paid on the Seattle market waa for nn Alber­tan steer, which weighed 1,700 lbs., and bronght the 'fancy price of 10c per lb., or $17A

Six carloads of live stock from ranches 05 miles from I’Incher, Al­berta, shipped to Spokane, excited keen coinpctitlun there on account of their exceptional quality. The price realized was $10,028. American deal­ers say they must look to Canada for beef supplies.

A livestock Arm, which tins shipped over 2 ,0 0 0 hend of beef cattle to the American farmer since the middle of November, reports a splendid reccp- Uon of Alberta stock in the United Stntes.

A carload of choice Alberta steers were sold early In .January for ship­ment to the British Columbia coast nl $0.70 per 100 lbs. nnd, later on, a lot from Curstalrs brought $0.90— the highest price paid since the spring of 1015. Shipments from Calgary live­stock yards during 1915 were: Horse.s, 8,675; cattle, 30,577; hogs, 144,515; sheep, 12,410. A course In agriculture and livestock denioii.strntlon which has been conducted by the Provincial Dept, o f Agriculture here wns well at­tended, showing the Interest taken by city residents In agricultural progress.

John Voting, of Sidney, Man., gives his experiences In slieep-ralslng as fol­lows, as quoted In a local paper:

‘T bonght a bunch of flfty ewes, which cost me $202.50. With this llttlo flock I demon.strnted Just what can be done In the sheep buslneas. This fall 1 sold flfty fat lurabs nt $0.50 per hend, $325, nnd 18 of the best ewe lamhs, which I kept, 1 vnlue ot $8.00 per head, $144. The wool sold at nn av erage o f $2.07 per hend, $103.50. Thla mokes the very nice total of $572.,50.”

“They rnn out nenrly every dny all winter. The vnlue of hny and onts wns small, nnd one cnn make them very comfortable througli the winter with very little expense. For shelter 1 hnve a shed, about 125 feet long nnd 14 feet wide, which I cover with straw. This gives them protection from the cold winds; yet It Is always cool enough to be healthy."

"I Intend going In more for sheep this fall, ns I believe them to be tbe most profitable stock on the farm."

Desire of farmers nnd ranchers to lncrea.se their sheep holdings Is Indi­cated by the sale of 2,500 hend r® cently at $9.00 each. High wool prices nnd profltable demand (or mut­ton nre the renson given for such a Dgnre.

Manitoba sheep hreetlcrs arranged last year for the I’ rovlnclnl Depnrt- Bient o f Agriculture to handle their wool output on a co-operative basis and obtained most satisfactory results. Abont 75,000 Ihs. o f wool were han­dled, netting the shippers over 25c I>er lb.— Advertisement.

CHAPTER XII—Continued.— 11—

Toye accepted hls fate with a ready rostgnatloD. little short of alacrity. There waa a gleam In hla somber eyea and bis blue chin came up with a jerk. "That's talking!" said he. "Now wll! you pronflse me never to marry Caza­let?"

"Mr. T oye!""That'a talking, too. and I guess 1

mean It to be. It's not all dog-in-the- manger. either. I want that promise a lot more than I want the other. You needn’t marry me. Miss Blanche, but you mustn't marry Caialet.’’

Blanche was blazing. "Rut this Is simply outrageous—*

"I claim there’s an outrageous cause (or It. Are you prepared to swear what I ask, and trust me as I’ll trust you. or am 1 to tell you the whole thing right now?"

“ You won’t force me to listen to an­other word from you, If you’re a gen­tleman, Mr. T oye !"

"It’e not what I ara that counts. Swear that to me. and I swear, on my side, that I won’t give bim away to you or anyone else. But It must be the most solemn contract man and woman ever made.”

The silver teapot arrived at this Juncture, and not Inopportunely. Sbe had to give blm his tea, with her young maid’s belp, atid to play a tiny part In which he supported her really beautifully. She had time to think, al­most coolly: aud one thought brought a thrill. If It was a question of her marrying or not marrying Walter Cazalet, then he must be free, and only tha doer of eome dreadful deed!

"W hat has he done?" she begged, with a pathetic abandonment o( ber crevloui attitude," the moment they were by themselves.

‘Must I tell you?” His reluctance rang genuine.

“ I insist upon It!" sbe flashed again. "W ell, It’s a long story.""Never mind. I can listen.""You know, I bad to go back to

I t a ly - ”"Had you?""W ell, I did go." He had slurred

tbe first statement; this one was char- acteriatlcally deliberate. "1 did go, and before I went 1 asked Cazalet for an Introduction to some frienda of his down In Rome."

“ 1 didn’t know he had any,” said Blanche.

’’Why,' he doesn’t have any,” said Toye, “but he claimed to have some. He left the Kaiser Fritz the other day at Naples. I guess he told you?"

“ No, I understod he came round to Soiuthampton. Surely you shared a cabin?’’

"Only from Genoa; that’s where 1 took the steamer and Cazalet regained her.”

•'Well?""H e claimed to have spent the In­

terval mostly with (riends at Rome. Those friends don't exist. Miss Blanche." said Toye.

"Is that any businees of mine?" she aaked him squarely.

“ Why, yes. I’m afraid it's going to be. That is, unless you’ll still trust me—’’

“Go on, please.”"Why, he never stayed at Rome at

all, nor yet in Italy any longer than it takes to come through on the train. Your attention for one moment!” He look out a noat poeketbook. Blanche bad opened ber lips, but she did uot Interrupt; she just grasped the arms o f ber chair, aa though about to bear physical pain. i “ The Kaiser Fritz’’— Toye waa speaking (rom his book— “ got to Naples late .Monday afternoon, September eighth. Seems she was overdue, and 1 was mad about it, and never got away again till the— ’’

“ Do tell me about Walter Cazalet!" cried Blanche. It was like small talk (rom a dentist at tbe last moment.

“ I want you to understand about the steamer first," said Toye “ She wait­ed Monday night in tbe Bay of Naples, only sailed Tuesday morning, only reached Genoa Wednesday morning, and lay there all of forty-eight hours, as these German boats do, anyhow. That brings us to Priday morning b® (oro the Kaiser Fritz gets quit of Italy, doesn’t It?"

"Yea—1 suppose so—do tell me about W alter!"

“ Why, I first heard of him at G® noa, where they flgured I ehould have a stateroom all to myself, as the other gentleman had been left behind at Naples. 1 never saw him till he

Cross again by the nine o'clock lhat nlghl, and wua back aboard tho Kaiser ►■Tltz on Friday morning—lull of his (riends in Rome who didn't exist!"

The nole-book was put away with every symptom of relief.

1 suppose you can prove what yousay?" said Blanche In a voice as dull as her unseeing eyes.

'"I have mea to swear to him -tick- et-collectors, conductors, waiters on the restauraut-car— all up and down the line. I went over the same ground on the same trains, ao that wus simple. 1 can also produce the barber wbo claims to bave taken oft Ills beard iu Purls, where he put in hours Thursday morning."

Blanche looked up suddenly, not at Toye. but past him toward an over­laden 8 ld®tablo against the wall. It was there that Cazalet's photograph had stood among mauy others; until this morning she had never missed It, for she seemed hardly to have been In her room all the week; but she had been wondering who had removed ll, whether Cazalet himself (wbo bad spoken of doing so, she now knew why), or Martha (whom she would not question about 11) tn a fit of ungov­ernable disapproval. And now' there waa the photograph back In Its place, leather frame and all!

"I know what you did." said Blanche. 'You took that photograph with you—the one on that table—aud had him Identified by It!"

"It was the night 1 came down to bid you good-by," he confessed, “and didn’t have time to wait. 1 didn't coni<# down tor the photo. 1 never thought of It till 1 saw It there. I cnme dowu to kind of warn you, Miss Blanche!"

“ Against him?’ ’ she said, as If there was only one man left in the world.

"Yes— I guesa I'd already warned Cazalet that I was starting on bis tracks."

And then Blanche just said. "P o o r - old— Sweep!" as one talking to her­self. And Toye aelzed upon tbe words aa she had seized ou nothing (rom htm.

“ Have you only pity for Hie fellow?" he cried; for ehe was gazing at the bearded photograph wllhout revul­sion.

"Of course," she answered, hardly attending.

"Even Ihough he killed this m a n - even though he came across Europe to kill him?"

"You don’t think It was deliberate yourself, even If he did do It."

"But can you doubt that he did?" cried Toye, quick to Ignore the point

as that," said Blanche. "1 must see ! him ttrsL"

"See Ca'zalet?"Toye had come to bis fiet. not slm- i

ply In the horror nnd Indlgiiatiuu I which had gradually taken pustesslou i of him, but under the stresa of some ' now and sudden resolve. j

"Of course,” said lllanchc; "of , course 1 must sec him as toon aa | pcaslble,"

“ You shall never speak to that man ' again, us loag as ever you live,' said Toye, wilh the 'iliiiost emphaals “ ud deliberation. |

"Who's going to prevent me?" | "I am, by laying ar. informatioa

againat him this niiiiule, unless you promise never to see or to sjieak to Cu'zalet again."

Blanche fell cold and sick, but tho bit of downright bullying did her good. i "I didn’t know you were a black ' mailer, Mr T oye!"

"You know I'm not; but I mean lo snve you from Cazalet, blackinuil or white."

"To save me from a mere old (rlend — nothing more — nothing all our lives!"

"1 heliove th.H," he said, searchlii't her with hls smoldering eyes. "You couldn't lell a lie. 1 guess, not If you tried! But you would do something; It's just a man being next dour to bell that would bring a Hod's aiigel— ’’ Ills voice shook.

She was us quick to soften on her side.

"Don’t talk nonsense, please," she begged, forcing a smile through her distress. "Will you promise to Uo nothing If—If I promise?’'

"Not to go near him?""No.""Nor to see him here?"“No.""Nor anywhere else?""No, 1 glvo you my word.""If you break It, I break mine ihst

Old Savage had wriggled like a ven­erable worm. In the experienced tal­ons of the Bobby’s Bugbear: but then Mr. Drlnkwater and his discoveries bad come still worse out of a hotter encounter wllh the truculent attorney; and Cazalet had described the whole thing as ouly he could describe a given episode, down to the ultimate dismissal of the charge against Scru­ton. with a gusto the more cynical for the deliberately low pitch of his voice, it was in the little lodging-house sit­ting room at Nell Gwynne's Cottages: he stood wllh hls back to the crack­ling fire that he had Just lighted him­self, as It were, already at bay; for the folding doors were In (ront of bis nose, and bis eyes roved Incessantly from the landing door on one side to the curtained casement on the other Yet sometimes he paused to gaze at the friend who had come to warn him of his danger; and there was nothing cynical or grim about him then.

1 discovered a veReiable compound that does the work of dangerous, sickening calomel and I want every reader of this pajier to try a hottlc and if it doesn’t straighten yon up better and quicker than salivating calomel just go back to the store and get your money.

I guarantee that one spoonfnl of Dodson’s Liver Tone will put your sluggish liver to work and clean yonr thirty feet of bowels of the sour bile and constipation poison which is clogging your system and making you feel miserable.

I guarantee that one sixionful of this harmless liquid liver medicine will relieve the headache, bil­iousness, coated tongue, ague, malaria, sour stom­ach or any other distress caused by a torpid liver as quickly as a dose o f vile, nauseating calomel, besides R will not make you sick or keep you from

a day’s work. I want to .see a bottle of this won­derful liver medicine in every home here.

Calomel is poison— it’s mercury— it attacks the bones, often causing rheumatism. Calomel is d n* gerou.s. It sickens— while my Dodson’s Li/er Tone is safe, pleasant and liarmless. Eat any­thing afterwards, becanse it can not salivate. Give it to the children because it doesn’t upset the stom­ach or shock the liver. Take a spoonful tonight and wake up feeling fine and ready for a full day’s work.

Get a bottle! Try itl If it doesn’ t do exactly what I say, tell your dealer to hand your money back. Every druggist and store keeper here knows me and knows of my wonderful discovery of a vegetable medicine that takes the place o f danger­ous calomel—Adv.

DEATH OF CHARLES CALUNAN

The older residents of this vicin- •ty 'Were very well acquainted with the subject of this obituary. In the earlier day of the settlement of this county, Charles Callanan was V most familiar figure. H is father's 'amily settled in the county in an *arly day, locating on the south hore, near the present entrance >f Oakwood park. Charles was

one o f seven children of which only one now remains. Michael Callanan, of this city.

He was born in Rockford, Illi­nois, January 7, 1851, and died at Alex, Oklahoma, July 21, 1916. He came with his parents to Clear Lake when three years o f age. He vas married to Mary Keegan, Xpril 14, 1880, To this union

'WO sons were horn, both deceas­ed. He moved to Chamberlain in 1881, where he lived for a number ofyears. He then moved to Sioux City, wherehe lived •"even years. From thcrethe fam­ly moved to Alcx, Okla. in 1904.

where they resided up to the •ime o f his death He leaves a wife and one grandson to mourn his death, The body was brought to Mason Citv, accompanied by his wife. Funeral services were held in the Holy Family church, con­ducted by Fathers Dougherty and Boyle. Burial was made in Elm­wood cemetery, beside his sons. He was a loving and kind husband and father.—Clear Lake, (Iowa,) Reporter.

Joe Mobley o f near town was taken to the Chickasha hospital last Saturday with one leg sever­ed at the knee as the result o f at- temptsng to board a moving train at Rush Springs. Mr. Mobley threw his suit case on the plat­form and caught hold of the coach to pull himself up, hut the train was moving down-grade and the increasing momentum was too strong for him and he fell with one leg under the wheels and it was severed at the knee.

His father returned Thursday from a visit to him and says he is getting a’ ong very nicely.

8KEDAD0LER8 FROM ENGLAND.

NEW

By A. W.Ths war of 1812 between the

United States and Great Britain was very unpopular In New F.ng- land. 8o serious was the oppo- • Itlon that for a tinte It threat­ened to break up the Union. There were several reasons for this. In the first place, the New Englanders wers still chafing over tho defeat of John Adamt for a aecond term of the presi­dency, In 1800. Then they did not approve of tho Louisiana purchase, whloh meant tho addi­tion of more slave territory to the United States. And finally, they were bitter against the Em­bargo Act, which interfered greatly with their shipping In- tereite. The national govern­ment had to retort to contcrip- tlon to fill ihe quotas of soldiers required of the New England •tatea. This waa very diataate- ful to the cltlzena, and to escapo the draft hundreds of them slipped aerots the line Into Canada, A large percentage of theia never returned. Many ot the present Inhabitants of the region lying south of tho SL Lawrence and between tho Chau- dlero a.vd Richelieu rivers are descendant, of those New Eng­land skedaddlera from the draft.

Some of the reasons for making the requests, were, that the billa could be handled in a regular manner and did not interfere with other business, and thus avoided being bothered by collectors at inopportune times, and that it was customary to receive other bills by mail. As this mailing list continually increased, we decided to mail all telephone bills, and this method has proven satisfactory.

Therefore, we decided to place this up to date method o f collection into effect at the Alex E x­change on August 1st, and upon this date and the first of each month thereafter, bills covering ex­change rental for current months will be mailed to each subscriber at address shown on books of com­pany, so if you fail to receive a bill or your address is changed, the company should be notified. The bills are due on the first o f the month at tbe office o f the company.

Unless payment is received by the 15th of current month, service will be suspended, and af­ter service is suspended if bill still remains unpaid for five days, the telephone will be removed for non-payment. In case where the telephone is actually taken out for non-payment, and the subscri­ber again desires service, he will be treated as entirely a new subscriber, being required first to pay all accounts in arrears and three months in advance, and make a new contract. Such subscribers may also be assigned a new telephone number.

It is the intention o f the company to treat all alike and the company asks the co-operation of of all subscribers in making the plan a success. —

The company would prefer the payment to be made by check payable to the order of the com­pany. In case any apparent errors, take the matter up immediately for adjustment with the man­ager of the company, telephone number 2(X).

The Palace Drug Store in the Hamilton building has again re­verted to the old reliable druggist, Frank J. Hamilton, who bought the stock at the sale last Thursday.

Mr. Hamilton established the business January 1, 1916, and has had charge of the store continu­ously since up until a short time ago, when he sold the stock to Mrs. Bondurant.

Frank came here from Madill with small resources and ‘ rom an humble begining has es­tablished one of the best drug businesses in this section of Okla­homa and is housed in a good brick building which he built since coming here.

Practicing courtesy, honesty and the ethics of the profession, he has built up a large and growing busi­ness from a small beginning and

Witliout the guiding hand o f its owner the stock was somewhat de­pleated, but Mr. Hamilton, since assuming charge of the business, has ordered a full line o f drugs, druggists’ sundries and the usual up-to-date line of toilet goods, etc., usually found in a modern drug store. The stock will he lar­ger and more complete than ever.

The Tribune joins the many friends and patrons of this popu­lar druggist in welcoming him back to the business wlier; he is needed.

The revival meeting which was begun at the Landmark Missionary Baptist church last Thursday after­noon is attracting large congrega­tions and much good will result from the services.

The meeting is being conducted by Rev. Zack Corbin of Itasca, Texas. Mr. Corbin is an eloquent and able expounder o f the gospel and his timely sermons are rich with the philosophy of the present and future. Unlike many evange­lists. his sermons grow better every night and his choicest efforts are yet to be heard.

Mr. Corbin is ably assisted by J. T. Combs, who has charge of the choir.

BROOM CORN SEASON ON

The streets of Alex are throng­ed with broom corn "Johnnies” and the season has beea formal­ly opened. Every train brings a number of the harvesters.

The broom corn around Alex is of the highest grade ever pro­duced here and will bring top prices. The threshers are busy on every hand and shipping will begin this week.

John Looney, o f Floyada, Tex­as, came in Friday and spent a few days with old friends and relatives in this vicinity, Mr. Looney is a pioneer in this sec­tion, but has been living in Tex­as for some time.

Nightfall no longer finds "the plowman homeward wending his weary way while the lowing kine win I slowly o'er the lea," but instead the farmers around Alex are joy-riding over their fields on tractors.

Nothing will nay as good a di­vidend, as to boil your wagon wheels in oil, and then paint them with the famous standard Sherwin-Williams paint.

Unity Oil Co., is here in the in­terest o f the local well. As soon as the under-reamer arrives, work will he resumed and the driller expects to reach a depth of 1,(X)0 feet by the end of the week.

Mrs. Jennie Cooper, o f Tab­ler, was here this week the sfuest o f her father, John F. Sparks. Mr. Sparks, who is a veteran o f the Civil War, has been in failing health for some time, but is able to be about the streets.

We sell the kind of broom corn knives and other accessories that have been used for years, and found to be the best. And in the face of war prices, we are selling them at the same old pri­ces.

Norvill Hardware Co.That shooting you heard last

Thursday night was not the Ok­lahoma artillery at target prac­tice, nor yet a Mexican invasion, but the night watchman doing some o f that plain and fancy shooting he spoke of some time ago. A night prowler, it seems, failed to obey the divine injunc­tion of earning his bread by the sweat o f his brow and attempt­ed to work along the line o f least resistance by procuring the aforementioned bread by the shade o f night. The prowler’s appearance at the door o f t te . . grist mill was the signal for Browning to open his batteries in that direction. He did.

rifiht job the sparks fiy, and too much credit cannot be given M. H. Smith, who handled the sale of the melons for the association. Mr. Smith has the happy faculty of making good when he attempts a thing and he was in tip-top trim t j tackle the watermelon business this year and the lowest price per 'car to date has been $110, while other points in the county from which more melons were shipped were practically thrown on the mercy of outside buyers. Mr. bmith and Mr. Parmer are now ill Wichita negotiating the sale of melons for the association.

DOES THIS MEAN YOY?

Your accounts and notes are now past due or coming due very soon. Come in and settle and save trouble and expense.

I am in need of my money to pay for what I have sold you and I must have an immediate settle­ment without fail.

SOME DINNER!

Dr. Hanna was a visitor to Lindsay Sunday, where he ate dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Will Neal. The doctor was very en­thusiastic about the appetizing dinner served him at the Neal home and delivered himself of the following; ‘ ‘What nobler or more luscious food can there be than a yellow-legged chicken, fried a crispy brown as only the Tennessee housewife knows how to fry it? What greater enter­tainment can the palate have than a juicy drumstick’ or a ‘second joint,’ varitd wiih a nibble o f liver or a tidbit of creamy white breast? Rest, re­creation and contentment are the result, and /he spirit is re­freshed and cares are banished.”

JOIN IN. ALEXITES

Alex citizens should not allow visitors to monopolize the expres­sions of appreciation about this town. Every day visitors declare this to be one of the biggest little cities in Oklahoma, and local citi­zens should at least ‘ ‘join in.” Why, man, lead the conversation. Don’t wait for the subject to be in­troduced; start it at once, after a hurried howdy-do at the depot (we’ ll soon have one), and before the guest has got the general lay of the statio.i platform, begin poinJng out to him the conse- quental structures which punctuate the Alex skyline. Call the visi­tor’s attention to vacant lots, upon which big things are about to be built. When it comes to local tal- lent in supporting Alex, be as agile as an eight-legged horse.

ORGANIZE!

There is every prospect that our cotton crop wili be the biggest in the history of Grady county, where big things are the rule. The price is likely to be high; probably bet­ter than ever before. No matter what the price may be, however, it is not enough if the cotton is worth more, fhe first thing for the cotton farmer to look out for, and to avoid if he can, is the cus­tomary drop in price which always comes shortly after the opening of the marketing season. Let’s have organization and co-operation in this fall’s marketing. Begin now to plan for the sale of your pro- ducts at a living figure.

Bhe could only shut ber evea t o ’ •hat must bave happened, even aa Cazalet himself bad abut bis all tbls wonderful weel} that she bad forgot­ten all day In her ingratitude, but would never, in all ber day*, forget again!

"There won’t be another caae," ahe heard beraelf eaylog. while her tbougbta ran ahead or lagged bebind Uke aheep. "It’ll never eome oul—I know It won’t."

"W hy shouldn't It?" he asked so aharply. that ahe had to account for tbe words, to bereelf as well as to him

".N’obody knows except .Mr, Toye. and be means to keep it to himaelf."

“ Why should he?""I don't know. He'll tell you him

self.""Are you aure you don't, know?

What can be have lo tell me? Why should be screen me, Blanche?”

His eyea aod voice were furious wltb auaplcloD, but still the voice was lowered

"H e's a Jolly good sort, you know,” aald Blanche, is If tbe wbole affair was tbe moat ordinary one In tbe world. But heroics could not have driven the sense of ber remark moie forcibly home to Cazalet.

"Oh, he Is. la he?""I've alway* found him so."'S o have I. the litlle I've seen of

"I know. And nothing can undo that," she only aald; but her voice swelled with thanksgiving. And Caza let looked reassured; Ibe bot suspi­cion died out of hts eyes, but left tbem gloomily perplexed.

"Btlll, I can't understand IL I don't believe It, either! I'm to his bands. What have I done to be saved by Toye? He's probably scouring Ion don for roe—If he Isn't watching this window at tbls minute!"

He went lo the curtains as he spoke Simultaneously Blanche sprang up. to entreat him to fly while be could That had been her flrst object In coming lo him as she had done, and yet. ouce with him, sbe had left It to tbe last! And now It was too late; he was at tbe window, chuckling signlflcantly to himself; he had opened it. and be was leaning out.

‘That you, Toye, down there? Come up and sbow yourself! I want lo see you "

He turned In ttme'tao dart In front of the folding doors as Blanche reached them, white and shuddering. The flush of Impulsive bravado (led from his face at the sight of hers

" You ran't go In there. What's the matter?" be whispered. "W hy 'boulJ you be afraid of Hilton Toye?"

How could she lell him? Heiore si.c bad (ound a word, the landing door

opened, and Hilton Toye waa in the room, looking at her.

"Keep your voUe down." said Caza­let anxiously. "Even If It’s alt over with me hut tbe shouting, we needn't start tbe shouting here!"

He chuckled savagely at the Jeat: and now Toye stood looking at him

"I've beard all you've done." contin­ued Cazalet. "I don’t blame you a bit If It bad been tbe otber way about. I mlgbt have given you lea* run (or your money. I've heard what you've found out about my mystenou* move­ments, and you're absolutely right ss far ss you go. You don't know why I took Ibe train at Naples, and trav­eled across Kurope without a hand­bag It wasn't qnlte the put up Job you may think But, If it makes yoo any happier, I may as well lell you that I was st Cplands tbat night, and 1 did get out through the foundations!"

The Insane Impetuosity of the man was his master now. He was a living fire of Impulse tbat had burst into a blaze.

"I always guessed you might be crazy, aod I now know It." said Hilton Toye. "Bllll. I Judge you're not ao crazy as to deny that while you were tn tbat house you struck down Henry ( raven and left him (or dead?"

Cazalet stood ll'ae red-hot stone".Mias Blanche." said Toye lurnlng

to her rather shyly. "I guess I cnu't do what I said jusl yet. I haven’t breathed a word, not yet, and perhaps 1 never will If you'll come away with me row - back lo your home—and never see Henry Craven's murderer again!"

"And wbo may he be?" cried a voice that broughl all three face about

"Whal do you know aboul Henry Craven’s murderer?" he demanded In a voice between a croak and a crow. “ Have they run in some other poor devil, or were you talking aboul me? If BO. I'll start a libel action, and call Cazalet and thal lady as witnesses!"

"This Is Scruton," explained Cazalet, "who was only liberated this evening after being detained a week on a charge that ought never to bave been broughl. as I've told you botb all along." Scru­ton thanked lAm witb a bitter laugh. "I've brought him here," concluded Cazalet, "because I don't think he's fit enough to be about alone."

"Nice of him, Isn't ll? " said Scru­ton bitterly. "I’m so fit that they wanted to keep me somewhere else longer lhan they’d any right; thal may be why they lost no time In getting hold of me again. Nice, considerate, kindly country! Ten years Isn't long enough to have you as a dishonored guest. 'W on’t you come back for anotber week, and see if we can't ar­range for a nice little sudden deatb and burial for you?’ But they couldn't you see. blast 'em!"

He subsided tnio the best chair In the room, which Blanche had wheeled up bebind him; a moment later be looked round, thanked her curtly, and lay back with closed eyes until sud denly he opened Ihem on Cazalet.

"And what was that you were say- I Ing ' that about traveling across IGu- I .'ope and being at I'plands that night? I I thought you came round by sea?

And what night do you mean?"

"There was no point In telling you." "Did you see the persou?""Yes.""Then he isn’t unknown to you?""I didn't see him w ell"Scruton looked sharply at the two

mute listeners. They were very In­tent Indeed "W ho are these people, Cazalet? .N'o! I know one of 'em," he answered blmself In the next breath. "It's Blanche Macnalr, Isn’t It? I thought at first It must be a younger sister grown up like her. You’ll forgive prison manners. Mlsa .Macnalr. If that's still your name. Vou look a woman to trust—If there Is one—and you gave me your chair Anyhow-, you've been iu for a penny and you can stay In for a pound, as far as I care! But who’s your Amer’ can friend. Cazalet?"

"Mr Hilton Toye, who spotted that I'd been all the way to I'plands snd beck when 1 claimed to have been to Rome!"

There was a touch of Scrulon’s bit­terness In Cazalet’s voice; and by aome subtle process It had a distinctly mollifying effect on the really embit­tered man.

"What on earth were you doing at i'plands?" he asked. In a kind of con­fidential bewilderment

"I wenl down lo see a man "Toye himself could nol bave cut and

measured more deliberate monoayl- lables.

"Craven?" suggested Scruton.".N'o; a man I expected to find at

Craven's.""The writer of the letter you found

at Cook’s office In Naples the night you landed there, I guess!”

It really was Toye this lime, and there was no guesswork in his tone. Obviously he was speaking by his lll­lle book, though he had not got It out again

"How do you know I went to Cook's?"

"I know every step you took be­tween the Kaiser Fritz and Charing Cross and Charing Cross and tbe Kaiser Fritz!"

Scruton listened to this Interchange with keen attention, banging on eacb man’s lips wltb hts sunken eyea; both took It calmly, but Scniton's surprise was not bidden by a sardonic grin.

"You've evidently had a stern chase with a Yankee clipper!" said he. “ If he's right about tbe letter. Cazalet, I should say so; presumably It wasn't (rom Craven himself?"

"No.""Vet ll brought you across Europe

to Craven’s house?""W ell-to -th e back of bis house! 1

expected to meet my man on tbe river."

"Was that how you missed him m.ore er less?"

"I suppose It was."Scruton ruminated a little, broke

Into his offensive laugh, and checked It instantly of his own accord. "This is really Interesting," he croaked. "You get to London—at wbat time waa It?"

"Nominally three-twenty-flve; but the train ran thirteen minutes late,” said Hilton Toye.

"And you're on the river by what time?" Scrutcn asked Cazalet,

"1 walked over Hungerford bridge, took the first train to Surbiton, got a boat there, and just dropped down with the stream. I don't suppose the whole thing took me very much more tbao an hour.”

"Aren't you forgetting something?" said Toye.

"Yes. I was. ft was I who telw phoned lo the house and found tbat Craven was out motoring; so there was no hurry.”

"Tet you weren't going to see Henry Craven?" munnnred Toy*.

Cazalet did not answer. Hi* laat words had come In a cbaracteriatie burst; now be bad bla mouth that tight, and bl* eye* were fast to Sctv ton. He might have been In tbe wit­ness box already, a doomed wretch cynically supposed to be giving eri- dence on bis own behalf, but actually only baring bis neck by incbea to th< fo .e , under the joint persuasion ol { judge and counsel. But he bad one | friend by him still, one who bad ; edged a litlle nearer in the pause.

"But you did see the man you went to eee?" said Scruton. '

Cazalet paused "I don't know ! Eventually somebody brushed paat me ' in tbe dark. I did think tben—but I can't swear to him even now !”

"Tell ua about IL" !"Do you mean tbat, Scruton? D*

TULSA IS TO RAISE COMPANY

Federal Enactment Makes Possible New Ambulance Corps,

Okluhuma City.— Oklahoma City’spacking bouses scored a big victory when the corporation commission is ■ued a final order which will greatly expedite the shipping of livestock (rom all points within the state to local packers.

By the terms of the order all rail­road companies operating In the state are required to move livestock des­tined for Oklahoma City packing houses at a rate of not less than four­teen miles an hoMr on main line and twelve miles an hour on branch lines.

In the past, movement of livestock has been at the rate ot only six miles an hour with the result that Oklahoma City packing Interests have suffered, shippers preferring to send their stock outside the slate (or, in some In­stances, outside packing centera could be reached more quickly thkn Okla­homa City packing houses.

By the operation of the new order, stock which is loaded at any point In the state late tn one aflernoon will reach Oklahoma City the following day.

Tulsa.—Tulsa will have the honor ot raising the first militia motor ambu. lance corps In the United States un- der the provision of the recent Hay bill which was passed by congreaa placing the national guard on a higher plane by providing a system of pay for the citizen soldiery.

This announcement was made hen by Major Hugh Scott, recently In com. mand of a battalion In the First OklB­homa Infantry and prior to that tim# attached to tho United States troopa In Mexico.

The organization will be the only national guard ambulance corps in the Fifteenth division of the United States national guard. This division Is mad# of tho mllltla o f Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Arkansas, Louisiana and Ok- lahoma.

W hen the company has been com. pleted It win be equipped with fou^ teen modern motor-driven ambulances of the latest pattern.

The enUsted strength of the organ. Izatlon, which will be designated as Ambulance Company No. 1 ot the Fif­teenth national guard division, will be elghty-three men, who will be um der the direction ot one captain and four first lieutenants.

Application for reoount of the bal­lots In the Fourth congresslon dls- tric* is asked In a formal written ap­plication filed with tho state election board by Congressman William H. Murray, who on the face of returns, has been defeated for tho democratic congressional nomination by Tom D. McKeown of Ada by a majority of 279 votes.

Murray alleges that numerous er­rors, irregularities and mistakes wero committed by precinct election boards In Seminole, Pontotoc, Okfuskee, Hughes and Creek counties.

In several Instances, he alleges, vote.s case for either him or H. 11. Smith of Shawnee were counted for McKeown. According to Murray’s al­legations there was a total of 946 votes cast In different precincts throughout the district for either him or Smith which were "erroneously" counted by precinct election boards for McKeown.

McKeown Get* the Certificate. Notwithstanding the application of

Murray for a recount, a certificate of nomination as the democratio candi­date for congressman in the Fourth district was Issued to Tom D. Mc­Keown of Ada.

This action was taken on authority of an opinion from the attorney gen­eral, which holds that the election board’s duties in issuing certificates are purely ministerial and that the application of Murray for a recount does not stop the Issuance of the cer­tificate to McKeown, who, on the faca o f returns to the state board, defeated Murray by 379 votes.

The attorney general holds the state board cannot go behind the relurns made to it, and that If a recount Is made It must be by the precinct boards of the counties wherein the recount is asked.

A L F X C H I T W O O D

Grady county has ao much on which to pride itself that it can well afford to consider its short­comings. In aome instances Na­ture has done so much that many of our citizens are waiting for her to do the rest o f it.

One of its shortcomings is its failure to provide adequately for its bridges and highways.

Wooden bridges, constructed by the most skillful highway en­gineers, are soon destroyed by traffic, rain and wind. Their av­erage life ia about eight years.

Many of those antiquated structures throughout the coun­ty are condemned. They en­danger the life of those who are compelled to use them.

The real, sensible and logical solution of this problem is the steel bridge with concrete foun­dation. To the intelligent and receptive citizen of Grady coun­ty the permanency of such bridges will appeal. Sufficient is known to warrant the unquali­fied statement that no cheaper method tban building for per­manency has ever been devised

The item of first cost is almost insignificant when the perma­nent feature of such ' structures is considered.

Why have men finally surfaced their roads with gravel o*- roc'<? That they may carry a full load to or from their market every day in the year, regardless of weather conditiopir.r,>^y make schools and ch ‘re;'i;i>«s more ac­cessible, and a richeV social life possible, but t-h the average man on the farm tho inipf'ovement of his roads has meant primarily the .rpftcking^f his markt more acoessiblgr As we live today, the Grady county farmers must have a market. He produces a few things, but his wants are many. It is the farmer, above all persons, who needs good roads. It has been his need that has brought about road im provement for the most part. As he has recognized that need and felt his ability he has im­proved the highway from his home to his market.

Every citizen in Grady county knows that our bridge fund is limited. The most rigid and costly economy of repairing these dila idated ind decaying bridges does not suffice.

The citizens of Grady county realize the need of steel bridges, and there is none among us who do not believe she will rise to the responsibility. Modern conditi­ons and agricultural progress de­mand them.

How are we to get them? This is the most important phase of the subject.

The only practical solution for this much needed improvement is a bond issue. The average ci­tizen throws up his hands in holy horror when you touch the ten­der spot in his make-up by men­tioning bonds.

When the ec nomy of steel bridges with their lasting con­crete foundations is compared with the rickety bridges of the present, the initial cost and the small cost of about twenty-five cents per thousand on taxable property should fade into insig­nificance. The voters should ap­preciate the difficulties and cost that have been encountered in the upkeep of our wooden bridges and show iheir loyalty and in­terest for the present and fu­ture generations by applying the permanent improvement remedy.

It would be a splendid thing for Grady county to enjoy de­servedly the reputation of hav­ing the best roads and bridges in the peerless state o f Oklaho­ma. Commercial importance, industrial eminence are ours. There is no surer road to com-

merciai and agricultural great­ness than by superbly main­tain 3d highways and steel bridges.

The added expense o f a few dollars will be saved every tax­payer affected, in wear and tear on autos and vehicles.

The wooden bridges that span our streams are a reproach to the civilization of Grady county.

A bond issue for $100,000 ought to oarry by a majority that | will be an assurance, even an in­spiration.

We now have a fund of only $24,000 for bridge building and repair.#. The county commis­sioners have estimated the an­nual cost o f the upkeep of our present bridges and fixed the amount at $10,000 yearly. This is a small fund and the repairs each year will necessarily in­crease.

Give this matter a fair and im­partial hearing before reaching for your hammer.

Think!

Alex’s commercial and agri­cultural progress has placed her in a position to command as w ell' 4S serve. It sometimes happens that merchants in the smaller cities do not appreciate their po-j sition and strength in the busi-] ness world. Sometime manufac- j turers, jobbers, and others also overlook the strength, position and prestige of the smaller city merchant.

Alex is about to show most | conclusively that the retail deal-' era liere have some power and in- fiuence.

The Alex Commercial Club will be re-organized during the com­ing week and placed on a firmer footing.

Ours are big, broad-gauged, highly-rated and successful busi­ness and professional men, wbo contend that this association could and should be made a vital force to the community. These men are all successful retail mer­chants, bankers and professional men, thoroughly alive to present day conditions, and men who have the welfare o f their fellow dealers in general as well as the community, thoroughly at heart.

Now, doubtless, many mer­chants, especially new members, will ask, “ What is the purpose of the Alex Commercial Club?” Perhaps the best brief answer would be:

The object of the .Alex Com­mercial Club shall be to promote business and community welfare, to create a better spirit of fellow ship, to im pro/e business condi­tions, to advocate and assist in the passage of laws looking to­ward the protection of the re­tail business, to protect the wel­fare of legitimate business en­terprise, and also to promote and develop better farming, build more and better roads, and other special features that its officers may feel will promote legitimate effort, having for its purpose the bettering o f local conditions.

There are many problems that a commercial club, composed of men in all lines o f business, can successfully handle that cannot be coped with in any other way.

The retail merchants of Alex cannot hope to come into their own until they present their cause in an organized way and with the solid backing of every business man in town.

Alex has firm-visaged, broad­minded, purposeful men, the very bone and sinew o f Grady county. Sowhen we consider these things, we do not hesitate in saying that we are proud of this association, composed o f Tribune readers and patrons, and we are sure, Mr. Merchant, that you, too, will feel proud of this, your organization, and begin to realize the mighty power that you and your fellow dealers have at your command.

A meeting of the business men is called for P'riday at 2 o ’clock.

Come out and lend your aid in this laudable enterprise.

CHAPTER XIV—Continued.—13—

Toye cocked his head at both ques­tion and answer, but inclined it quick­ly as Cazalet turned to him before proceeding.

"I went In and (ound Henry Craven lying in bla blood. That's gospel—it was 80 I found him—lying Just where be had fallen In a heap out of the leather chair al his desk. The top right-hand drawer of hia desk was open, the key In it and the rest of tbe bunch still swinging! A revolver lay as it had dropped upon the desk—it had upset the ink—and there were cartridges lying loose in the open drawer, and the revolver was loaded.I awept it back into the drawer, turned the key and removed it with the bunch But there was something else on the desk—that silver-mounted truncheon —and a man's cap was lying on the floor. 1 picked them both up. My flrsl instinct, I confess It, was to re­move every sign of manslaughter and to leave the scene to be reconstructed Into one of accident—seizure—any­thing but what it w as!"

He paused as if waiting for a ques tion. None was asked. Toye's mouth might have beeu sewn up. his eyes were like hatpins driven into hls head. The other two simply stared.

"It was a mad Idea, hut I bad gone mad," continued Cazalet. “ I had hat­ed the victim alive, and it couldn't change me that he waa dead or dying; that didn’t make him a white man. and neither did It necessarily blacken the poor devil who had probably suf­fered (rom him like the rest of ua and only struck him down In self- defense. The revolver on the desk made that pretty plain. It waa out of tbe way. but now I saw blood all over the desk as well; it was soaking into the blotter, and it knocked the bottom out of my Idea. What was to be done? I had meddled already; how could I give the alarm without giving myself away to that extent, and God knowa how much further? The most awful moment of the lot came as I hesitated—the dinner gong went off in Ihe bail outside the door! I romem ber watching the thing" on the floor to see If It would move.

"Then I lost my head—absolutely. 1 turned the key In the door, to give myself a few seconds’ grace or start; it reminded me of the keys In my hande. One of tbem was one of those Iittle round bramab keys. It seemed familiar to me even after so mnny years. I looked up, and there was my father's Michael Angelo closet, witb Its little, round bramah keyhole I opened it as tbe outer door was knocked at and then tried. But my mad Instinct of altering every pos­sible appearance, to mislead tbe po­lice, stuck to me to tbe last And I took tbe man's watcb and chain into the closet with me, as well as the cap and truncheon that I had picked up before.

"I don’t know how long 1 was above ground, so to speak, but one of my father’s objects had been to make hia retreat sound-tight, and i could scarce­ly hear what waa going ou in the room. That encouraged me; and two of you don't need telling how I got out through the foundations, because you know all about tbe bole 1 made my­self as a boy in the floor under the oilcloth. It took some finding with single matches; but the fear of your neck gives you eyes In your fluger- ends, and gimlets, too, by Jove! The worst part was getting out at the other end. Into the cellars; there were heaps of empty bottles to move, one by one, before there waa room to open tbe manhole door and to squirm out over the slab; and I tbought tbey rang like a peal of bells, but I put tbem all back again, aud apparently nobody overheard in the scullery

I “The big dog barked at me like , blazea—he did again the other day— j but nobody seemed to hear him either.I I got to my boat, tipped a fellow on ! the tliwing path to take It back and ! pay for It— why haven’t the police got , hold of him?—aud ran down to the ' bridge over tbe weir. I stopped a big ; car with a smart shaver smoking his ! pipe at tbe wheel. I should have I tbougbt he'd have come forward for : tbe reward tbat was put up; but I pre- I tended I was late for dinner I had in \ tcwn, and I let him drop me at the

and I'd more than five minutes in hand at Charing Cross If you want to know. It was tbe time in hand that gave me the whole idea of doubling

] back to Genoa; I must bave been half­way up to town before I thought of It!"

He had told tbe whole thing as be always could tell an actual experi­ence; that was one reason why It rang io true lo one listener at every point.

I But the sick man's sunken eyes had anvanced (rom their sockets in cumu­lative amazement. And Hilton Toye laughed sbortly wben the end was reached.

"You figure some on our credulity!" waa his first comment

"1 don't figure on anything from you, Toye. except a pair o f handcuffs at a Qrft InBtellment!"

Toye rose In prompt acceptance of the challenge. ''Seriously. Cazalet, you ask us to believe that you did all this to screen a man you didn't have time to recognize?"

"I ’ve told you the facts.""Well. 1 guess you'd better tell

them to the police." Toye took his hat and stick. Scruton was struggling from bis chair. Blanche stood petri­fied, a dove under a serpent'a spell, as Toye made her a aardonic bow from the landing door. “ You broke your side of the contract, .Miss Blanche! I guess It’s up to me lo complete."

"W alt!"It waa Scruton's raven croak; he

had tottered to his feeL"Sure," said Toye. "If you've any­

thing you want lo say as an interested party,"

"Only thla—he’s tcid the truth!""Well, can he prove It?""I don't know,” said Scruton. "But

I can!""You?" Blanche chimed in there."Yes, I’d like lhat drink flrat, if you

don’t mind, Cazalet." It waa Blanche who got it for him. in an Instant. "Thank you! I’d say more If my bless­ing was worth having—but here's something that ia Listen to this, you American gentleman: 1 was the man who wrote to him in Naples. Leave it at that a minute; it was my second letter to bim; the first was to Austra­lia. in answer to one from him. It was the full history of my downfall. 1 got a warder to smuggle It out. That letter was my one chance."

"I know it by heart," said Cazalet. "It was that and nothing else that made me leave before the shearing."

"To meet me when I came out!" Scruton explained In a hoarse whisper. "To—to keep me from going straight to that man, as I'd told him I should in my flrst letter! But you can't hit these things off to the day or the week; he’d told me where to write to him on bis voyage, and I wrote tu Naples, but that letter did not get

the other door. "W ell? Aren't yoa going too? You were near enougti, you see! I'm an acccs.sory all r lg h t" '- he dropped hla vo ice—"but I'd be prlh- clpal if I could instead of him!"

liut Toye had come back Into the room, twinkling with triumph, even rubbing his bands. "You didn't see? You didn’t see? 1 never meant to go at all: it was u bit c ' bluff to make htm own up, und ll did. too. bully!"

The couide gasped"Yon mean lo tell me," cried Caza

let. "that JOU believed my story ull the lim e?”

"Why. 1 didn't bave a moment'a doubt about it! "

Cazalet drew away (rom the chuck* ling creature and his crafty glee. But Blanche camo forward uud hold out her hand.

"Will you forgive me, Mr. Toye?""Sure. If I hud anything to forgive

It’s the other way around, 1 guess, nnd about timo I did sometbing to help." He edged up to tho foldlng- door. "Tills is a two man Job, Cazalet, the way I make it out. tiuesa It's my watch on deck!"

"The other’s the way to Iho police station," said Cazalet densely

Toye turned solemn on the word. "It'a the way to hell, If Miss Blanche will forgive me! This Is more like the other placo, thanks to you folks. Guess I'll leave the angels In charge!"

Angelic or not, the pair were alone at last: and through the doors they beard a quavering crouk of welcome to the rather human god from the American machine.

"I'm afraid he'll never go back wltb you to tbe busb," whispered Blanche.

"Scruton?""Yes.""I’m afraid, too. But I wanted to

take somebody else out, too. I wna trying to say so over a week ago, when we were talking about old Venus Potts. Blanchie, will you come?”

The Wheat YieldTells the Story

of Westorn Canada’s Rapid ProgressThe heavy crops In Western (Canada have caused

new records to be made in the handling of grains by railroads. For, while the movement of these heavy shipments has been wonderfully rapid, the resources of the different roads, despite enlarged equipments tnd increased facilities, have been strained as never before, and previous records have thus been broken in all directions.The largest Canadian wheat shipments through New York ever known are reported for the period up to October 15th, upwards ol four and a quarter million bushels being esporled In lesa than s is weeks, and this was but the overflow of shipments to Montreal, through which point shipments were much larger than to New York.Yields as high as 60 bushels of wheat per acre are reported from all parts of the country; while yields of 45 bushels per acre are common. Thousands of American farmers have taken part in this wonderful pro­

duction. Land price, are Mill low and free homettead landa are eaaily aecured in good localUiea, convenient to chutcbce. acboola, markeu, railwayi, etc. There le ne w ar lax en lend and no conecrlplltn.

TRAIN HITS AUTO THE TOWNSHIP FAIR

What proved to be a miracu­lous escape from instant death re-| suited in the injury of Mrs. L. C. j Wright, of L-hickaslia, when their car was struck by he eastbound Rock Island train at the crossing

[west of the Alex depot Sunday I morning at 11 o ’clock.; Mr. Wright was driving a live passenger Buic<c car. There is a slight ascent to the track and in order to avoid a bump he slowed up his engine to take t e gradt easily. The engine was near ai hand when he saw it. He rcalizec that it was too late to reverse hi> car, the front part of the machine jcing on the track, and hence hv ‘gave it to the juice" in an adorl 10 get across in time. The loco­motive struck the rear end of the car, demolishing it. Mrs. Wright was pinned beneath the wreckage. The baby was picited up several yards from the scene of the crash, lying on the ground with its face in the dirt. Mrs. Wright was unconscious at the time.

Mrs. Wright was taken to Dr. Shaw’s office where she was given medical attention. Later in the day the victim was taken to a hos­pital in (liiekasha. Mr. Wright and the baby escaped without in­jury.

Physicians do not consider Mrs. Wright’s condicion to be serious, hut its gravity cannot be determin­ed until it is learned whether she is internally injured.

The claim agent of the Rock Island came to Alex Monday and took photographs of the locality where the'coHision occurred.

$200,000 WORTH OF MELONS

Friday and Saturday, Septem­ber 8 and 9 liave been selected aa the date for the Al-jx Township Fair, to be held in Alex.

The busines.s men and citizens of A lex welkomeyou to Alex and the township Fair, which ia YO UR fa ir . We want to do everything possible lomake your stay here pleasant and profitable. Y e want you to feel that the Fair is an institution for the de­velopment and up-building of his township, and that Alex is

jroud of being its home and| prouder still of having you aa her guest.

We want you to Joe treated courteously and fairly. We want you to know that the altitude of mind of the true citizen of Alex is to do everything possible fur your comfort, convenience and happiness.

The premium list for the Alex Township Fair will be published in our next two issues before the Fair. The list is now being ar­ranged. The committee could not be brought together in time to pass on the list. This year’s premium list will be the largest ever offered in this township and will-give awards on hundreds of different exhibits. Begin to pre­pare your exhibit.s now. I'he list will offer prizes for live stock, agpculiural, culinary, textile and horticultural exhibits.

Alex and vicinity looms large on the $200,000 worth of w ater­melons that were shipped from! Grady county this year. This; has been the best year the mel­on growers of this county have ever had and small fortunes have been made by the big growers of the county. The Alex shippers probably received the highest prices i ft’ered in the counly, as a result of the associ­ation here and the high quality of the melons offered by the lo­cal growers.

Tne price lias been the best in i years, caused by the dry season up north, which curtailed the crop in that section while the yield has been extra large in this section. One hundred and fifty dollars a car was realized in some instances this year, while the usual price last year was from fifty to eighty dollars.

COMMERCIAL CLUB ELECTS

The Alex Commercial Club held a meeting Monday after­noon when officers were elected forthe coming year.

Dr J . M. Hanna was elected president and Will 0- Conley, of The Tribune, was made secreta­ry of the organization.

The new organization aims at the continual development of c 'mmercial, industral and civil wor .,'. It aims to make Alex the most desirable location as a home. By concentrating our activities and interests with those of the farm ©.rs there can be but one ultimate result, and that is -S U C C E S S .

DRILLING IS RESUMED

Although the quantity e f oil in the test well near Cement, but a few miles from the west line of Grady county, remains undeter­mined, the showing has al­ready attracted the attention of oil men to this county and the scramble for leases is said to be lively.

Cne of the most important tests now drilling in this section is that of the Unity Oil Co., of Kansas City, near the corporate limits of Alex. This test is be­ing watched with interest by oil msn over the state. The well is now 626 feet deep. Drilling has been long delayed by failure to get an under-reamer, but the latter is now on the ground and drilling has been resumed. The company has 1,000 feet of six- inch casing on the ground.

The merchant who cannot get biusiness enough without kno.'king his ’'ellow dealer, should quit busi­ness and make room for a real business builder. The merchant who constantly knocks*' his com­petitor is surely, though some­times not slowly, injuring his own business, and this being true, it is not good business Ior a merchant to try to injure or destroy the busi­ness o f others about him.

We are living in a constructive age; we are thinking of co-opera­tion, and united effort and the re­tail business certainly shou d not be an exception to the rule. If co-operation is a good thing among laboring men or among manufacturers, jobbers, farmers and other classes, it surely should be a good thing among retailers. The man who lends his influence to building a bigger and a better town is at once strengthening the cornerstone of his individual busi­ness. There are some merchants who are big and broad and far sighted enough to help even their competitors, and yet there arc oth­ers who are not. Helping a com­petitor does not always necessari­ly mean going out and helping him bring customers into his place o f business. When you defend your competitor against unjust charges, for instance, you are help­ing him and at the same time help­ing yourself and all retail dealers. On the other hand, every time a retail merchant knocks a com­petitor’s business, he is weakening and injuring his own business.

Get together!

W. H. Estes, Alex, Okla.The Grady County Fair will be

held at Chickasha, Oklahoma, ."’eptember 14-15-16. It willibe the second free fair in the county to be supported by taxation. Ad­mission to the grounds and all ex­hibit buildings will be free. There will be no charge for entering ex- bibi s in any department.

It will be primarily a farmer’s fair. It is the endeavor o f the Fair association to present some­thing of interest to every one and especially to farmers.

A successful agricultural fair can­not be had without the co-opera­tion of the farmers, and the asso­ciation earnestly requests the hear­ty support of every man woman and child in the county.

Look over the premium list and send anything and everything tifrt will be of interest and instruction to the public. Anything especial­ly good will be appreciated by the association. Last year we took fifth premiuni at the State Fair on our county exhibit, and this year we want to take first and we need the help of every one in the coun­ty-

Every effort will be made and provided forthe comfort and con­venience of visitors and with this •assurance the association extends to everyone a cordial invitation to attend.

The fair will be held at Shanon Springs, just south of the city lim­its. Transportation to and from the grounds every fifteen minutes; shade trees and natural spring wa­ter makes this an ideal location; a twenty acre lot with plenty o f wa­ter has been secured for the exclu­sive use of teams and separate grounds for automobiles to keep them from disturbing the teams.

Come and camp on the grounds during the fair.

Oklahoma City.—Henry A. Pressey New York engineer, is the man who haa offered lo build a railroad into northwestern Oklahoma connecting Woodward and Oklahoma City. Rep resenting New York bankers and fi­nanciers Mr. Pressey laid the proposi­tion before the Chamber ot Commerce and out-of-town business men.

Committees have been working In Woodward. Waloaga. Mutual, Selling and other places along the route ot the proposed road to raise part of the bonus. These committees will report In a general meeting at the Chamber of Commerce Thursday.

Calls for $400,000 Bonus.Mr. Pre.ssey's proposition calls for

a bonus of $400,000 and right-of-way rights. Of this amount Oklahoma CUy is expected to subscribe 10 per cent, the remainder to be prorated among other towns along the route. Total cost of constructing the 140 miles of trackage, stations and ter­minals will be $2,000,000.

The New York bankers have given the Chamber of Commerce until Sep­tember 1 to either accept or reject the proposal. Estimates, surveys and other details were completed some time ago by Mr. Pressey, who has made (our trips over the route.

Nine Months To Build.It Is estimated tliat It will require

nine months lo build the road. The coniract of the New Yorkers is posi­tive and binding nnd needs only the acceptance of Oklahoma Cityans and others interestod lo start the work.

Mr.-Pressey is acting as consnillng engineer (or the city in the construc­tion of the new waterworks syslem.

Emmett Porter has been arrested on a charge of murder and is conliucd in the coun­ty jail.

The young men attended church to gether, sitting side by aide, Toward the middle ot the service, however, thoy left the building and went to a nearby wood where they agreed lo .settle their differences wllh knives. They fought for more than h i i f a;i hour without either inflicting serious injury upon his adversary, but at an opportune moment Emmett sent tbe long blade of his knife into John's throat and another movement almost severed his head from his body.

When John failed to make his ap­pearance at the Porter home Inquiries were made of EnimetL whose conduct was such that a search was instituted. John's body wns found a, short dls- tance (rom the edge of the wood.

D isea se o f R aspberry .

(By J. C. WHITTEN. Missouri Agricul­tural College.)

Tlie fungous di.sense, iinthrncnnse, is very prevnlent in Mi.s.sourl this year, if the letters nnd infected riispberry stems received ut the MlH.sourl ugrlcul- turnl experiment station nre nny Indi­cation. Offleers of the department of Imrtlciilture doing work over the state also And thnt in some localities an- tliracnose is enuslng much more dain- uge than usual.

The present season is too advanced to give uny very essential treatment for this disease at the present time. It Is, however, highly deslrnhle that the growers become ncqunlntwl with it if it is iippenrliig In their flelds. They will tlicn be prepared to treat plants next spring so ua to prevent furtlier Injury from the disease the following season.

Anthrncnose occurs on the fruitinf cnnes of the current season, and also on the new slioots wliieh will be the fruiting cnnes for next year- It usu­ally appears In the form of spots or blotches on the canes, vnrying from one-sixteenth to one-fourth of an inch in diameter. These hlotches are brown­ish or reddish townrd the center, nnd usually have a purplish ring nround the outer border. Where the fruiting cane.s ure hiidly affected, a weak growth Is likely to result. The berries nre undersized, nnd some o f them iimy even dry np nnd (all to mature fully. In severe oases fruiting shoots may more or lesa die back.

Treatment for anthrncnose of the rnspherry consists o f two things; (1)

Pruning Imck the fruiting ciine.s mor( severely limn usual lu late winter oi early spring, and (2) spraying tin' canes thorouglily wllh liordeuux mix ture just before the buds begin growtli in the spring. Spray before the canef leaf out ns the leaves nre very suscep tible to burning from spray.

Antlirncnose-spotted canes cunnoi carry as much fruiting wood us heultli; ones. For tlmt reason the side brunchei should be cut shorter thun usual. Cul those brunches most spotted wltli tin dlsense, most severely, so as to elimi­nate so far as possible the worst in fccted parts. This will prevent weak­ening the cnnes by setting too heavj a load of fruit und will Insure liettei development of the berries which dc set next year. To further reduce the spread of the dlsense, spray with hop dcaux mixture jn.st liefore the plnntt Sturt into growth in the spring.

Any grower who hns weakened ra.sp berry plants nnd is not sure wliut tin trouble is, should send samples o f tlit Infested shoots to tlie department ol horticulture Ml.ssonrl agricultural ex perlment station, Columtila, Mo., ,sc that the tronble inny he Identified.

Capital and Surplus,

Hints to our Farmer Friends:

$50,000.00

Unless Congress finds a way to prevent the impending railroad strike, by legislation, in the next few days a strike will be called

' Monday. Under the e x i s t i n g circumstance little hope is enter­tained for an adjustment in the

'limited time.] Railroad officials hnve been no- ! tified to refuse to carry all perish- jable goods and passengers who I can not reach their destination by Sunday.

The large cities are taking in­ventory of their food supplies and the smaller ones arc rushing orders for a sufficient amount ot goods to tide them over should the strike take plade.

'I'lie situation is a grave one as there are few people whu will not feel the effects of it in some manner or other.

THE PRESIDENT,S APPEAL TO CONGRESS"Ontlriiitfn of Ihe congreia."I iMve rome to you lu neek your

■lirtftnri- In deftJIiig with ft very n-ftve •Jluftllon which hft# arisen out o f *he demanrtH of the employes of the rail* roadn engaged in freight train aervtca Ihat they be granted an eight-hour working day, safeguarded by paynielt for an hour and a haJf of service for every hnur of service beyond the eight.

Matter Long Agitated.“ The matter haa been agiutad for

..iore lhan a year. The Diiblfc haa been mado (amlliar with the demands of themen and the argumenta urged in fa vor of them, nnd even more familiar withthe obJectioriH o f the raiiroada and their c'ounler demand thal certain pro- viakiiiM now enjoyed by their men and eertatn basee of payments worked uut through many yejirs of contest be re- 4‘unslaered, enifeclally In their relation to the a4loptton uf the eight-hour day.

' The matter came some three weeks ago to a nual laeue and resulted In s romplete deftflluck between the parties. The means provided by law al media­tion of the 4'ontroversy (ailed and the means of arbitration for which the law provides, wore rejected.

“ The represoniatlves of the railway executive proposed that the denmnds be submitted In their entirety to arbl- I ration, along w ith certain questions of reudjusment as to pay and conditions of cinploynieni, which seemed to them to be clearly associated wrlth the de- ittands or to call for reconsideration on Ihelr uw-n inertts. the men absolutely 4lacltncd arbUrattun, especially If any of Diilr estubllidicd provisions wero by iliut means to be drawn again In ques­tion.

Commerce Parslyied."The law In the matter puts no com-

(•uIhIuii uiH>n them. The 400.000 men from whom the ilemands proi'eeded had \oled to nirtkc If their demands were refused; the strike was Immlnont, it bus since been sel for the 4lh of Sep­tember. next. It nffects the men who niDi) the freight trains un praclfralty ••verv railway In the country.

Approvsi Eight-Hour Day.**lt Bcems to me, lit considering the

•ubj»ct matter In the controversy, that the whole spirit of the time und the prejM>ndera/it evidence of recent econ- omb experUncc “tmke for the eight-hour rtii\ ll Iwid b**en adjuated hy the thought arid » xiMTlenC4* of recesit years a thing IIIIIII ehb-ti soslelt ta /ustllied In Insist- li-i: In *'•«< Interest of health. cfTlelen-n 4 :.l ' jit wnd a general Increase

In the Interest of economic vigor. The whole presumption of modern exper- lance would, It seemotJ to me. be in Its favor, whether there was arbitration or not and the debatable points to settle were those which rose oul o f the ac- ceptance of the eight-hour day lather than those whluU affected Its establish­ment.

Proposed Adoptlen."I, therefore, proposed that the eight-

hour day be adopted by the railway wnagem ents and put Into practice for the present as a aubstltute for the ex­isting ten-hour basts of pay and serv­ice; that 1 should appoint, with the per- mlaalon of the congress, g small com­mission to observe the results of the change. carefuUy studying the figures o f the slt«red operating costs, not only, but aiso the conditions of labor under which the men worked and the opera- i lion of their existing agreements with ! the railroads, with Instructions to re- w rt the facts as they found them to thecongreas at the earflesl pooslble day. but without recommendation: and lhal after Ihe facts had thus beon disclosed and adjustments should In some orderly manner be sought of all the matters now- left unadjusted lietw'een the railroad managers and the men.

“ Thesi* pvnosalH were exactly In line, t Is Interestihg to note, with Ihe rnisl-

tlon taken by the supreme court of the I'nlted f tfttes when appealed to protect ceru ln litigants from the financial losses which they confldmtly expected If they submit to the regulation or their charges and of their method of their service by public legislation.

“ The court has held that It would not undertake a form of Judgment upon fore­casts. but could base Its action only on actual exuerlenre; fhat It must be sup­plied with facts, not with caloulatlons and oiilnlonp, however scientlflcally at­tempted. To undertake to arbitrate the question of the adoption of an eight- hour dav In the light of results merely estlmatcMl nnd predicted would be to undertake an enterprise of PonJe4*tnre No wise man could undertake It. or. If he did undertake It. could feel nsHurcd of his conclusions

■tandBtiU, the represcntativoa of the brotherhoods suddenly acted and sel the strike lur the fourth uf September.

“ The railway managera bused their decision to reject my counsel In this matter upon iheir contention thai. they must at any cost to themselves or to the country stand Ann for the principle oi arbitration which the men hwd rejected. 1 based my counsel upon the Indisputable fact (hat there waa no means of ubtaJn- Ing arbitration. The law supplied none, earnest efforts at mediation had failed to Influence the men In the least.

More than Futile.“ They stand Arm for the principle of

arbitration und yet not lo gel arbitra­tion seems to me futile and something more than futile, because it Involved In­calculable distress to the country and consequences in aome respects worse than war. and that in the mldat of peace.

“ I yield to no man in Arm adherence, alike of conviction and of purpose, lo the principle of arbitration in Industrial dis­putes; but matters have come to a sud­den crisis In this particular dispute and the country has been caught unprovided with with any practicable means of en­forcing that cimvictlon In practice (by whose fault we will not now stop to in­quire.)

“ A situation had to bc met whose ele­ments and Axed conditions were indis­putable. The practical and patriotic course to pursue, as It seemed to me. was to secure immediate peace by con­ceding the one thing in the demands of the men which society Itself and any arbitrators who represent public senti­ment wero inost likely to approve and Immediately lay the foundation for se­curing arbitration with regard lo even'- thing else Involved.

“ The event has confirmed that Judg­ment. I was seeking to compose the preaent in order to safeguard the fu­ture; for 1 wished an atmo0phere of penve and friendly co-operaiion In which lo take counsel with representatives of tho nations that wero the hest meana to prevent .\nd so far aa It might prove pos- (Ible. to provide aitHinst the reeurrcnce ot »iich iinhsppy situations in the future —the hest ind most priietlcable means of securlmt vilm ami fair arbitration of all Induslrltl iliaputes In the days to come. Till* Is assuredly the best way for vlndlcatliiK * prinolple, namely, huv- Inif fallid to make eertain of ita observ­ance in the present to make eertain of Its observance In the future.

Refuted to Admit Case."But 1 could only propose. 1 could

not (fovern the will of otners who took an entirely different view o f the clr- rum.stances of tlie caae—w'ho even re­fused lo admit the clroumstances to be wiiiii tliey have turned out to be.

' HavliiK failed to brliiK the parlies to this critleui controversy to an aecom- modatioii, therefore. I turn lo you. deem- in* it clearly our duty as public ser­vants to leave nothing undone ihat wc can do to safeguard tho life and l.iterests of the nation,

fVcemmendt Lawt."In Ihe spirit o f such a piiritose. I

earnestly recommend the following legis­lation;

First—Immediate provision for the enlargement and adminstrallve re­organisation of the Interstate com­merce rommission along lines em- hodlod In Ihe blll recentl.v passed hy the house o f repre.sentatlves. and now awaiting action by the sen­ate. In onler thut the rommission may Ire enshled lo deal with Ihe many and various duties now devolv­ing upon It with a promptness snd n thoroughness which are with Its present constitution nnd means of nction practically Impossible.

Second—The establishment of sn eight-hour day na Ihe legal basis, alike of work and of wages In the employment of all railway employes who aro aetuslly engaged in iho work of operating trains In the In­terstate transportation.

Proposed Inveitlgatlon.Third—The authorisation o f ap­

pointment by the president of s body of men to observe the actual results In exirenses o f the adoption of the eight-hour day In railway transpor­tation alike for the men and (or the railroads; Its effects In the mat­ter of operating costs, In the applica­tion of the existing practices and agreements to the new conditlona and In al other practical aspects, with Ihe provision thst Ihe Inves­tigators shall report their conclus- tlons to the congress at the ear­liest possible date, but without recommendation as to legislative a c­tion, in order that tho public may learn from an unprejudiced source just what actual development have ensued.

"Fourth-Explicit approval hv the congress of the con.slderatlon by’ the interstate commerce commission of an tacreaso of freight ratiw to meet such additional expenditures by the railroads as may havo been rendered necessary by Ihe adoption of the eight-hoifr day and which have not heen offset by administrative adjust­ment and sconomles. should the facts disclosed Justify the Increase.

Provides Investlgstlon."Fifth—An amendment of the ex­

isting fedsral statute vrhich pro- I vldes for the mediation, conciliation and arbitration of such controver­sies as the present by adding to It a provision that In caae the methods of accommodation now provided for should fall, a full public Investiga­tion of the merits of svery such dis­pute shall be instituted snd com ­pleted before a strike or lockout may lawfully be attempted.

"And Sixth—The lodgement In the hands of the executive of tho pow­er, In C.1S0 of rallltsrv-necessity, to take eontrol o f such portions and such rolling stock of the railroad.* of the country us may be required for military uses, and to opsrate authority to draft Into the milltarv service of the United Ststes such train crew.« and administrative o f­ficials as Ihe clrcumatances rr<iutre fur Ihelr safe and cITlcient use."This last suggestion I mnke because

we cannot In any circumstances, suffer the nation to be hampered In the essen­tial matter of national defense.

Army Must Be Considered."At Ihe preaent momant circumstances

render this duty particularly obvious."Almost Ihe entire mllltBrv force of

the nation Is stationed upon the .Mexican border to guard our territory against hostile raids. It must he supplied and ateadily supplied, with whatever II needs for Its maintenance and eftlelency. If It should be necessary for imrposes of na­tional defense to transfer anv portion of It niHjn short notice to some other part of Ihe country, for reasons now un­foreseen, ample means o f transportation muat be available and available without delay. The power conferred in this m at-, fcr should be carefully and exidlcllly limited to cases of military necessity, but In all such cases It should be clear and ample.

"There Is one other thing we should do If we are true champions of arbitra­tion. We should mnke all arbitrable awards, judgments hv records of s court o f law In onler Ihat Ihelr Interpretation and enforcement may lie, not with one o f the parlies to the arbitration, hut with an Impartial and authorallve trib­unal.

Laws Needed Now."These things I urge upon you. not In

basic, ur merely as a me.-uis of meeting a present emergency, but as a i>orman- ent and necessary "ddltlon lo the Inws o f Ihe land, suggested, Indeed, by cir­cumstances we had hoped never to see. hut Impenillve as well as Just, If such emergencies are to be prevcnteo In th# future. I feel that no extended argu- isCiit Is needed to commend Ih-'iu to your favorable consideration. Thev demnnslate themselves. The time anti the occasion only gives emuh iv's te ihclr Iraportanre.

In fact, he says that, simultaneously, a program includ­ing light cruisers, destroyers and sub­marines, could be put through, since there nre many German yards which, although they cannot build capital ships, aro well equipped to produce the lighter craft.

W inter Asserts Women Are to Blame j for the Variations of Styles I

in Clothes. ,

IWoinen want something new to wear '

every few monlhs. The absolute truth of this statement is what puts the world of women against reformers. It Is easy to read and write rciims of theories as to why women should not indulge In the caprice of new flothes; and, wdth delightful Ingenuous­ness, these dress reformers put the blame on the style-makers nnd shops. Ignoring the fundamental truth that the blame .should be placed on tbe women.

Those who are sincere and those who Ere insincere but want to be heard crying aloud In the market places, do not go far enough Into the cloihes question when pleading (or dress reform.

Whiit normal woman would wont to be robbed of her privilege of seeing new clothes and buying them when­ever It Is possible? What healthy- minded woman would want to go through life wearing the same gown, cut on the same lines and preserved, or copied, from season to season?

Mary Garden, the opera singer, an­swered this whole question once in an interview on the deck of a steamer, when she was sailing for Purls. It was at the height of the great bnbbub concerning the question of American clothes only.

The reporter called up from the gangplank. “ When, In your opinion, will American women wear American clothes only and show their patriot­ism?"

MAKING RAPID STRIDESCanada Improving in Every Way

— Agriculturally, Commercially and Financially.

T he reports coming to hand every day from ail brandies of Industry in Canada speak lilglily ot the construc­tive nWMty of lhat country.

Recently the managing directors of the GanoUiau Credit Men’s Associa­tion gave out the stutement that busi­ness fn Western Canada was good. In every branch it Is better than In 1013, and' everyone will remember Uiut in that year business was exceUent. He suys:

“T h e beauty of It is the way in which payments nre coming In. Mer­chants all over the West are taking their cash discounts. Such a transfor- uiatfoB I never saw.

"BY*™ the records in the offlce 1 knew It was getting better. We dcnr here every retail merdiaiit in the coun­try every three niuiitlis, and we are therefore in the closest touch and have intimate knowledge o f the way trade is going and how payments are being made. Conditions at the present mo­ment are better than I had dreamed It was poRsinie that they should be.

“T he statements which we nre re­ceiving with reference to the standing of country merchants indicates thut there will be very few failures this fall. It Is quite remarkable. Men who have been behind for years and in the hole are actually paying spot cash for evwythlng. nnd taking tlielr cash dls- caunta Banks and loan companies this faU will hnve more money than tbey kaow what to do with.

“This Is about the condition o f trade, and I am glad to say there is no eiag- gerntlun in what I have said. The hu-sHies.s of the prulrle provinces is lu splendid condition.”

Crop reports are also good. BYom all p»rts comes the word that the crop conditions were never better, nnd the sitaatlon at tbe time of writing is that there will be fully as great a yield as Id 1915, wheu the average of wheat over the entire country was up­wards of 80 bushels per acre. The harvest therefore will be a heavy one— uad, following the magnificent harvest of Inst year, the fanners of Western CoDDda will all be in splendid shape. Old lndehtednc«.sc8, much o f which foUowed thera from their old homes, are being wiped out, improvements ure DOW being planned, and additional acres added to their present holdings.

and along with this, tbe natural temb ency of the allies to trade among them­selves, nnd perhaps special trading prlvllegc.s. Mr. Unliins isilnts out that Ihe greatest development In the United States followed the costly and destruc­tive civil war.

Mr. Rollins, In nn address before the Bondmen's Club ot Chicago, expressed the opinion of a fnr-tliiiiking mind and the review of an experience of the last of hi.s numerous trips through the Ca­nadian West. When he said he re­garded the spirit o f the Canadian people, as ho found It, the most ad- nilrahle nnd encouraging feature of the entire situation. They nre facing the sacrifices ot war courageously and with calm cnnlldence as to the result, and In similar .spirit they face the eco­nomic future, confident, but expecting to solve their prohlems only by dint of hard and intelligent effort.

An Importnnt part of Mr. Robins' address, which Invites earnest atten­tion, is that In which he refers to the lund situation, nnd when his remarks nre quoted they carry with them the Impression gained by one who has given tlie qnejitlon the careful thought o f a mnn experienced In economic ques­tions, nnd specially those relntlng to soil and Its production. Ue is quoted as saying;

“Agricultural Canada wns never so prosperous, and immigration of agri­cultural population both during and after the war seems a logical expecta­tion, flndlng support In an Increasing immigriitlon nt present from the Unit­ed States, In spite ot numerous ca­nards sprend broadeest throughout the United States to discourage emigration to Canada. The lands of Western Can­ada, however, as long ns they are as at present the most advantageous for the settler of any on the continent, mnst continue to attract, despite mis­representation, and on the Increase of its agricullurul and other primarily productive population depends the eco­nomic future of Cunadn. All other prohlems nre secondary to this, and the large interests of Canada, recog­nizing this fact, are preparing to se­cure aud hold this population both dur­ing and after the war. They are con­tent to let city development nnd other secondary phases and superstructure follow In natural course. This recog­nition o f the true basis of economic development Is an encouraging augury for the future.”

“The war has brought Ihe United States and Cauada nearer together economically than ever before. Tbe totnl Investment o f United States capi­tal In t'umidn doubtless exceeds $1 ,000, 000,000, o f which $300,000,000 hns beea invested since the war began. Except

MELTON NAMES HIS COMMITTEE

Judge Rainey of Atoka Selected T o Lead Campaign In State.

Iknriag the past year there was a larffe increa.se in the land sales both by ‘ ®'‘ Biitnlii, Canada is the Unit- (he Canadian Pacific nnd Canailiun 1 Slates' best customer. Our exports Northern land coin)ianies, as well as : ‘ ® South America in the Instby private individuals. A great nmiiy •f the pnrchases were made by farm­ers wlio thus secured adjoining quar­ters o r halves, the best evidence prob­ably that could be had of the value of Western Canada land when those wbo know tlie country be.st nre adding to their holdings. A number of out­siders have al.so been purchasers, out vt*y little land hns changed band.s for speculative purposes.

An evitlenco of the prnsperit.v of tlie country is found In the fact tlmt such a large number o f fanners are pur­chasing autoniobiles.

Altoged hard times in JInnltobn hnve not dumpeued the ardor of motorists or prospective one.s. The automobile license department reported a few days since that tliere are 1,000 more private owners of cars in the province this year tlmn last. The numher of llcen.ses Issued tills year wus 10,400, as against 8,800 la.st year. At an aver­age cost of $1,000 each tlie newly pur­chased cars repre.sent a total outlay of $L600.000, while the total uuuihcr of ears in the province are worth approi- Iraately $10,000,000. Tlie new cars are of modern types.

Many people, for some unexplained reason, imve feared nnd continue to fear that this country will experience a period ot industrial and business duline.ss after the war. There seems to be no justification for such a specu­lation.

On the contrary, there are sound reasons for belief in the prediction of Mr. Kingman Nott Robins, vice presi­dent o f the Farm Mortgage Bankers' A.ssoclation of America, who, in the Monetary Times, declares thut Canada vrill experience her greatest propor­tionate development In production im­mediately after tlie conclusion o f the wax. The country will certainly bnve e ic^ tlon a lly favorable commercial conditions to take advantage of.

There will be the great need of En- roi>e tn the work oX reconstruction,

three years were less thnn a third ol our exports to Canada In the same pe riod, although Canada hns been rigidly reducing her Imports since the wur bt" gan. Even France, a good customer dt Ihe United States, bought $70,000,- 000 les.s tlmn Canada during 1913,1914, 1815. And yet Cunntla’s purchasing power is In tlie first stages o f develop­ment only. It bas been estimated that tlie United Slates can support a popu­lation o f 600,000,000. Using the same basis o f calculation In reference to nat­ural resources, Canada can support a populaUon of 400,000,000.

“Canada is potentially the most pop- ulou.s, nnd, in prliimrj' production, at least, tlie richest unit of tlie British empire, aud it behoove.s us In the Unit­ed States to know our Canada."

Tlie social conditions tlirougliout Western Canada nre everytliing thal could be desired. Schools hnve been established In all dlstrlets wliere tliere may be ten or twelve children ot school age, and these nre largely maintained hy liberal government grants. A fund for this purpose la raised from the revenue derived from the sale of .school land, one-eighteenth ot all lands being set aside ns school Itind.s. All the higher branches o f education are cared for, there being high schools at all important centers, and colleges and universities in the principal cities.

Tlie different rfcllglnu.s denomina­tions prevail, each having its separate church, and religions services are held In every hamlet and village, and in far-off settlements the pastor finds nn attentive congregation. The rural tele- ptione is one o f the great modern con­veniences that lirlngs the farm home Ufciirer to the market

it i.s not saying too much to atnte tlmt In mutters o f social Importance, in the most remote sefolemenTs they carry wilh thera the same Influence as is to he found in the most prosperous farming districts o f any of the states of Onion.—AdvertlsemenL

g'.d , A ’ :::,

The schools, churches and

homes bespeak the character of the people. Fertility of soil, pieisant climate and established markets place the value of Alex

I plane.

There are so many reasons why Alex should become a town of many times its present size in the next few years, that it would real­ly be quite a task to chronicle all of tliem, but there are a few rea­sons at least why she will in the near future, be th e ‘ 'Queen City of the Southwest.” Among them are these:

Alex is situated midway be­tween CiiicKasha a.id l.indsay on tlic Chicago, Kocx Islaiul and Pa­cific Railroad, a distance of 2b miles, tiiere being no other town of importance nearer than that. Her trade territory lias a radius of anout six townships to draw frdm and the volume ot business han­dled at Alcx wguld he a distinct surprise to tlic uninitiated. Situat­ed as Stic is in the hc..ri ot tlie ta- mous Washita V'alley. witli its clear, winding streams, its miles anu acres of altalta lands, its wav­ing corn fiiilds, and fields of suc­culent melons, its profitable broom corn industry, which hiings hundreds ot dollars imo the pockets ol the larnicra in Au­gust, when a little money is morc acccplaoie than at any other lime, and the faet mat when others are erying over the lac.*, of moisture, there is always a good crop in the Washita Valley. The busy street scenes in our little city every lall, is mute but eloquent lestinioiiy to the tact tnat there is no such thing as a crop tailurc in tliis vicinity.

A tew statistics gathered Irom the Kocti Isiand Railroad will shQW that there is more business done at Alex than at any other town ill the slate ot three times its size. That each year there are hundreds of car loads ot melons, alfalfa, fat cattle, hogs, broom corn and other necessary products shipped cut of Alex. I'he vicini­ty 01 Alex is absolutely ideal for a great dairy ng country. In no part of the country is there found sueh yields ot allaifa, kafir, milo and leterita. W ith a few cows, the farmers may soon all be rid­ing around in their automobiles and the much talked of mortgage will be a relic ot by gone days.

To the land seekers o the cold countries of the north, the Wash­ita Valley seems a paradise, with its mild winters and long, cool, growing summers. The price of land is moderate compared witli that of many other countries where the soil is not half so good, nor eonditions so ideal. Anoth­er important reason why our lit­tle eity will soon ce teeming with industries of all kinds, is the oil development which is sure to place Alex on the map among the foremost cities ol the state. It is only a question of time until the landscape will be doited with oil derricks, and the rich fluid will he pouring dollars into the coffers o f ihe land owners.

Altogether no town on the map has ever had a more promising future than has .Alex A future which is not mere phantasy of an idle dreamer, but a reality which is as sure lo come, as are the stars to move in their courses.

A. J . Stein, our efficient post­master, has lived in the vicinity of Aiex for sixteen years, three years of which he farmed on the Chitwood place, later coming rto Alex, assuming charge of the gen­eral store of VV. V. and S. .Alex­ander, during wlT.cIi time Mrs. Alexander was postmistress. The store and postoffce being coin- hined, he was made assistant postmaster, 'i'he firs quarterly repoit made amoiin.ed to S24, making the dignified salary of SS per month d.iriiig that quarter. M. 1 1. Smith was the next post­master, and was laicr succeeded hy Ben'I'raiicrman. Five years la- tvr .\lr. Tr uerman resigned in fa­vor of the late Chas. Callanan, who

eld the office about five years, when the office wns made y civij service job. A competitive examin­ation was held in which Mr. Stein received the appointment on a score of 92.30 per cent. Mr. Stein took charge of the office Octiober 1, 1914, virtually being appointed for life.

The receipts for May, June and July 1906 showed S.33.45, -wliiie the same period for this year shows $340.25.

The Receipts are rapidly in­creasing and tlie o.fiice will soon enter the third cla»s.

A LIVE WIRE

A. W. Cooper, field manager for the Unity Oil Co., and the original Alex townsite man, has an advertisement in this issue. Mr. Cooper has a number of

choice lots in thi.s town and is offering them at prices that are

conducive to quick sales.Much credit is due Mr. Coop­

! Brief a.s Ihe reign was, Con.slanllne had enjoyed for a lime a period of popularity rnd increased the territory of the Greek monarchy by over 50 per cent.

U fh ! Calomel makes you sick. It's horrible! Take a dose of the dangerous drug tonight and tomorrow you may lose a day’s work.

Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel, when it comes in­to contact with sour bile crashes into it, breaking it up. This is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. If you are sluggish and “ all knocked out,” if your liver is torpid and bowels constipated, or you have headache, dizziness, coated tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour, just try a spoonful of harmless Dodson’s Liver Tone tonight.

Here’s my guarantee— Go to any drug store and get a 50 cent bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't straighten you

right up and make you feel fine- and vigorous I want you to go back to the store and get your money. Dodson’s Liver Tone is destroying the sale of calomel because it is real liver medicine; entirely vegetable, therefore it can not salivate or make you sick.

I guarantee that one spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone will put your sluggish liver to work and clean your bowels of that sour bile and constipated waste which is clogging your system and making you feel miserable. I guarantee that a bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone will keep your entire family feeling fine for months. Give it to your children. It is harmless; doesn’t gripe and they like its pleas­ant taste.—Adv.

OPPORTUNITIES ON OUR FARMS

That Alex township now of­fers the most wonderful oppor­tunities to the real farm er of any similar section in the Uni­ted States is being demonstrat­ed by wealthy men in the town­ship who are interesting them­selves in .agriculture and stock raising. These men are invest­ing thousands of dollars in high grade stock and machinery of the most approved type and are successfully demonstrating the produ tiveness of Alex Town­ship soil and the adaptability of its climate to the raising of horse 3, cattle and hogs.

Alex Township is the most rap­idly growing territory in wealthy Grady county.

Ours is a position of com mer cial supremacy in the great Wa shita Valley, where agriculture is an important industry.

HOSPITALITYThe citizens of Alex take the

time lo stop on the streets at any time, anywhere, and say, “ Well, how are you?” This is the thing that is distinctively “ A lex,” re­marked by strangers, missed by our own citizens away from home

and yearned for by exiles. It is the hoipitality that can nowhere else be found- It is genuine,

wholesome, uplifting. The vis­

itor notes it the first time with pleased amazement, gets into the spirit of the thing at onee, and the next day has the habit

and is practicing hospitality him­self. Nobody can hold out against it and nobody ever gets away from the effects. As a re­sult nobody ever lived in Alex without being sorry to move away and you never met a for­mer A lex resid fet who wasn't anxious to get back for a visit at least.

The Alex spirit is one that grips and inspires and elevates. It makes for happiness and pros­perity, and helps “ to live along the w ay, a little good, a bit of cheer each day.”

And yet with all this pleasant diversion business sweeps along in ever increasing volume, and he who chats turns back to his own work with a bit more of vim"hnd energy and a broader, better aense of values.

One of the really big instituti­ons of which Alex boasts is the Stephenson-Browne Lumber C o , under the management of J . M. Gipson.

This company, with head- quarerst at Chickasha, h as branches in towns practically all over the state. Its able officers are: S. A. Stephenson, President: J S. Browne.

Sih^e assuming tha rge here, Mr. Gipson must be given the credit of building up a big business for his firm. His abili­ty as a manager, his knowledge of the lumber business and his loyalty to his firm have con­tributed toward making this one of the largest industries in Alex.

Until a short time ago, Mr. Thomas was proprietor of the barber shop in the present post office building, but a few months

ago purchased the Timberlake

Mr Thomas has many of the choicest town lots in the city and is rapidly disposing of them to satisfied purchasers.

He has built up a good busi­ness and employs several bar­bers to care for his growing business, which has shown a marked increase under his

F A I R T I M E A G A INThe Purpose of Our Own Festival and a

History of Some Others

W HY is a fair? We ean’t all answer that from a single view­point. It means something different to practically eveiy one of us. There i.s no doubt, though, that tlie feeling of gayety is universal—even to those who must work like Turk* to

make the occasion a success.Tlie man or woman with a groiieh has no business at our fair thii

year. You must go prepared to enjoy the blare of hand music and th* million noises that aren’t music. You must he keyed up to ri-vcl in the •ight of thonsaiids of chattering holiday makers, of bright decorations, of pretty girls, of sideshows and ballyhoos, of popcorn balls in red tissue snd sweating glasses of orangeade, of sizzling sandwiches and iee cream -•ones, of live-stock and liouseliold and ini|)lemeiit di.splays, of j)atteriiig trotters and paeer.s ami running horse.', of buzzing grandstand, of golden lunsliine nnd yellow dnst-elouds. Vi’S, and tired feet and whimpering hahies with heat-rash and smart .ilecks here and there—for we haven’t reached the land of perfection yet.

Xow let’s jK'el the surface off tho situation nnd see what’s inside. Tliis year’s fair is going to he a pretty fine advertisement for our whole minnuinily—the surrounding farm lands nnd fanners, the town and its rnterprising, public-spirited merehants. And really that 's the roek- boltom jpur[tose of holding a fair—advertising. It is a eommusiity aim ind effort to show its people how much they amount to, and to show out- fiders thnt this is a mighty good place to live in—])reis]H-roii.s. progressive .•oiinfry and iieiirhhorly people. A man lookinj* for a plaee iu which to settle down eouldii't reasonably a.sk for anytliing more cr heller.

Courtesy to Visitors.

The folks of this eommunity understand one another. Our farmen know the town luisiness men with whom they deal. Our business men mv jiivity well aeipiainled with most of tlie people who come into their •tores. Xow we want fo show—all of us—our spirit of kindliness and inlelligoiiec fo the strangers within our gates during the festival H'ason. It is the best son of ailvenising we ean put forllu

It is inestimably worth while to us if visitors go home and say: ‘T always like to attend thoir fair. The whole town seems to wiggle its latchslring at me. .\nd they're tlie ‘wliilest’ people!—go out of their way le he polite—re.nly to give information or do & little favor—I’m certainly going buck oftener and get acquainted with somo of them.’’

In order further to answer the (piestion which introduces this article, we take down our handy reference book—a large re<l volume—and turn to page 4t'(). Tliert'in we learn that the word “ fair” is derived from the Old French “ feire,” the modern Kreiieh “ foire,” the Italian “ fiera.” the Ijitin “ feria.” meaning holiday, aud thnt this is connected with the Latin “ feslus,” meaning least.

In the Fniti'd States there are no fairs of the kind that have been eommon iu the Old World. The term here is apjilied to a variety of i-xhibitions, sueh as ehurch, charity and agricultural exhibitioiis, and local, state, national, or international espositions or fairs. The fact is, the tenn is applied to all exhibitions where people are expected to bestow patronage or make purchases.

Bits of Fair History.

The most common kind are agricultural fairs—county and state, as you’know. This kind got their start as a regular thing in America in 1815). At Albanv, X. Y., there was a prospcron? merchant, Elkanah Watson, wlio believed thal such an enterprise would encourage fanning and niamifa'turing and help business, lie nsinl his influenee with the state legislature, and that laxly appropriated $ 10,000 yearly, for six years, for piviniuiiis on agricultural products aud family manufactures.

Since then annual counly, dfstrict and state fairs are quite gener­ally held. The district and cxmnty fairs especially are held, not mainly fat the sale of goods, but for advertising purposes—as we have said. C itj

street fairs, where amusementj of various kinds are fiiniished, are intende,j to promote fhe welfare of the city by attracting traders to them. Tha same goes for world’s fairs which are held in thi.s country. While com­modities are sold, the primary object is to advertise.

In the Old World the fair or bazaar is an ancient institution. Tf we could find files of the daily papers »iul country weeklies when old Mr. I’hsraoh was kinging for a living, when Profes.'or Plato was discoursing on pure demotraey and the whut and how of a republic, when the thou­sand and one events of the .Arabiiui Xights Entertainments were being worked out. we should probably find articles like this one—uu editorf write-up of the annual fair in his town.

Barter and Exchange Places.

People throughout Europe look upon the fair as a meeting held for h* purpose of exhibiting and eelling goods. Originally fairs were held

at slated times and places, some for the sale of a particular class of mer­chandise. others for the sale of goods of a general character. People resorted to them to exchange goods and to collect their stores to last for several months. Princes aud the magistrates of cities encouraged them imd some of the privileges granted long ago still remain in force.

Sueh fairs as these flourish today ou the outskirts of civilization. a.s in Siberia, Manchuria, .A.siatic Turkey, where people live isolated for long stretches of time and do their buying no oftener lhan once or twice a vear. They originated in the chureh festivals, which were found to afford the best opportunity for roinmercial tremsactions, the concourse of people being sueh as took place upon no other occasions.

Other European Practices. ‘

In some parts of Europe persons of all ranks still wait for the great annual fairs to make their principal purchases of articles of evciy descrip­tion. This applies especially to parts of Europe where trading facilities— including transportation, advertising announcements and the like—are not as highly developed as in all parts of Americu today.

Pne of the most noted of the old fairs was that of Saint Bartholo­mew in Irfondon, founded at the beginning of the twelfth century.

The greatest fairs in'Germany are those of Frankfort, Leipzig and Brunswick. Other noted nnd historic fairs held yearly or semiannually in Europe are those of Zurzach, Switzerland; Budapest, Hungary; Sini- gaglia, Italy; Lyons. France (before the war), and Xizlmi-Xovgorod, Bussia. The last named yearly attracts buyers from all parts of F.urope and central and northern .\sia, and merchandise worth $ 100,000,000 changes hands. At Mecca, in Arabia, the fair is held in connection with th annual pilgrimage of Jlohammedaiis, and is one of the most picturesque in the world.

We hope this array of solemn facts—afl guaranteed to be reasonably tnic—will not put a damper on your frivolous mood nnd spoil our own fair for you. Doll np in your gayest drapery and set your heart on having a regular picnic this year-just like the year you were sixteen and had a sweetheart; when you had tintj-pe pictures made together and exidiangej them.

The new well hrought in at Cement on .August Kitli ha.s caused a great influx (d’ oil iner to this .section. The whoh country is overrun hy represen­tatives of oil companies fron cTPTy seetion of Kansa.s am Oklahoina and many from tin outside world.

During the past two week.s i; has been next to impossible foi outsiders to secure fpiarters at any hotels in the towns of Alex. Cement or Chiekasha. In the viciinty of Cement there has hardly heen a night that oil men did not have to eamp in the streets and in the highways on account of the crowds on the scene.

The I'nity Oil eom))any was the real I’ ioneers in this immed­iate vieinity. At the time they eame into the field and seenred the first hlock of Ica.scs, there was no oxeitemcnt. but before they got their fir.st well under way, whieh nnfortnnately they lost at 11 fio- feet, the seramhle for leases had begiiii in the vi Miiity of of .Mex. During the lime the I ’nity wa.s delayed, on account of different causes, among them a erooked hole, mimernns breakdowns. t h e Prairie Oil and Gas Company and a number nf larger ga.s companies operating in Okla­bonia. came into iMex vieinity and aeipiired large blocks of leases.

It is said that the Prairie f.'4tamlard Oil Company) ha.s in round numbers, 12,000 acres o f leases immediately ad.joining the holdings of the Tnity Oil Company or in this vieinity, and besides, this Greatest of Oil Com panics wbieb has recognized these most excellent possihilitir- of a big oil pool in Alex. The Gypsy, the Carter, the Me.Maii, the Magnolia Petrolinm, the Oklahoma .Star Oil Co.. the ITiele .Sam Oil Company nnd many other have entered this field by securing leases in Grady County aud adjoining counties, and most

of them have leases in the im­mediate vieinity of Alex.

The great emphasis of tliis Orady Comity Oil Situation is the fact that ail the.se strong fiiuineial oil companies now fol­low the adviee of tlie hest geolo­gists tiiat tlieir money will em­ploy. Tills means mueli to Alex ind Grady Comity. It means Suit the iirospects nf oil in irady and vieinity of .-Alex liave

HOW IS YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONP

W E NEED IT

t n n 1 1 M mHilda edged her way toward tbe

cool, Inviting, old-rasbloned verandt whore Mr. Riding had been seated when he came forward to resent the Intruilou of Hilda Hoover and her band of en- tbnslasts. "You see. wo want to learn more aboul Prudence Riding. We have taken her as our ikLtroness. We hsve named onr organization after her. We are making tho namo o f Riding famous.”

This with a flourish snd a mock ora tory that drew a smile oven trom Mi Riding's vexed face. Hilda knew she waa gaining ground. She laughed one of hor famous disarming, teasing laughs— it was that more than any thing else that made tlm district lead or of her ward In t fc city "come across" with his signature on tho suf­frage petition—and Hobert felt the grouud slipping beneath his feet. He aclually invltod hor to coijtlmie the conversation on tho veranda, provid­ing, o f coursa, sho would uot Invite the rest o f the pilgrims to Join her.

"Y ou see," said Hilda, settling ber­self gracefully in one of Robert's most oomfortable chairs, " i know lhat In­side that dark. Interesting old houae ol yours 1 could And some papers, per haps diaries, that would tell me more about Prudence. You know that you are very seldom here at Riding Hall, and all the rest of the time this won­derful old place Is closed. Well, don't you think you could let us, the suf fraglsts of our organization, I mpan, have the privilege of visiting the house say one day a week? You know It is a sort o f shrine to us. it ia wbere oui patroness lived and died and It was from this very house that she started out on her memorable trip to the leg­islature. And another thing I want to ask, Mr. Riding— when we get our lit­tle life of Prudence Riding ready, won't you let us have your photograph as a picture o f the only living de­scendant of our illustrious heroine?"

Robert gasped and Jumped to bia (eet In amazement.

"N ow, please, Mr. Riding," Hilda Hoover soothed. "1 was almost sure you ’ wouldn't. I could tell that you thought you opposed the suffrage just to look at you.” Here again Hilda laughed her contagious laugh.

"I 'd like to know how you could tell,” he said.

"In the first place, you are a bach­elor past thirty, and every bachelor past thirty thinks that woman's place Is in the bome. That's because he hasn’t any woman In bis bome and doesn’t ever expect to have. But Just w ait One of these days, Mr. Riding, you are going to come around just as easily as that.” Here, by a graceful gesture, Hilda Hoover expressed the case with which a man could be mold ed into a thoroughgoing suffragist In the hands of a suffragist wife.

At that time Robert didn't under­stand why he did it. He didn't eren remember that be did It. But the fact remains that he consented to having Hilda Hoover examine the papers of the Riding family In search of the data needed for her life o f Prudence Riding. And a good half hour before the time set for the first visit be found bim self pacing the veranda, watch Is hand, it was true, he had to admit It to himself, that there was* something about Hilda Hoover—the contagious laugh and the teasing smile—and the eyes that looked at you one minute as straight and calm as you please and the next minute possessed the witch­ery o f a coquette.

"D on 't you think," said Hilda, when she arrived and had taken her place In the old library In front of a chest of papers and documents that Robert had opened tor her, "don't you think that you can take time to go over these with me? 1 don't feel that I am re­sponsible alone. They must be very precious to you."

In spite o f the (act that he bad prom­ised to play a round of golf with a neighbor that afternoon, Robert re mained at home. When, after a week of visits, Hilda Hoover expressed het desire to continue her Investigation during another week Robert actually canceled some important business en­gagements in the city in order not to miss ber daily visits.

"Anyway,” said Robert, after they had turned the last page of the old records that proved that Mistress Pru­dence Riding actually did batter down the doors and that sho was indeed a very militant woman, "1 don't blame her. I should think that this world would be better o* today If thero were a few more women like her. I don't mean to boast, but I'm glad to have her (or an ancestress. I like a woman with a mind of her own."

Robert looked eagerly at the (ace of Hilda Hoover and then gazed up quick­ly to the faded old portrait o f Pru­dence above the mantleplece.

"D o you know," be said, “ I think you look a good deal like Prudence. You are both women after my own heart And do you know, Hilda Hoover, I am not going to promise to let you have m y picture In your book beitauae I don 't think It would help the cause. But ^ay time you want to have yom

The motto which he had adopted and followed Is credited with having had much to do with It, This motto was, "JIake the best of every­thing, think the best of everybody, hopo tho best for yourself." Sueh a motto means optimism, cliarlty and ambition—all of these In their highest character nnd in tlicIr fullest mani­festation. It Is a motto well v.orth copying.

Peat's Use In M edic ine .Peat Is used in medicine for antl-

Eoptic wools and drcfsln.g, but Its chief value to the physiciau lies In Its employment for peat baths. Prop­erly used, a peat bath 1s Invigorating. Often workmen employed In the peat fields will have a peat poultice applied to some wound, this being considered locally as one o f tho best healing remedies that can be used.

And then—from our side thers arose a buzzing, a fierce shnrp buz­zing, and It made straight like a bee line for the little French flyer. It went through the clouds und disap­peared. Nothing could be seen. The clouds covered all. Five minutes of suspense passed, and then a shot, and ufter that a roaring. We watted breathlessly, nnd then two little black spots were seen breaking Ihrough the clouds. Tiny little spots, nnd these spots w c/e the two French aviators. The.v grew higger as they fell.

Farm Lands Increase in Value.The value of fnrm lands ot the Unit­

ed States Is estimated nt $4.5.55) per acre, us couipured with $40.85 n yeur ago, .$40.31 two years ago, $38.10 three years ngo ami $30.23 four years ago. The census reported tlie value of fnrm lands In 1910 as $32.40, and In 1900 us $15.57 per acre.

In recent years the value of fnrm lands hns been Increasing nt Ihe rate of nbout 5 per eent a year, or approxi­mately $2 per acre per year. The ex­ceptional Increase of the past year may be explained partly by Uie reac­tion In the southern cotton states fol­lowing n temporary depression lust year, and partly by the stimulus given by the war to prices, particularly of grain.

T o hold “its place in the sun,” is the avowed purpose of a great nation’s conflict. To hold “its place in

the sun,” is the object of every business in the great fight for industrial and commercial supremacy.To be able to hold “its place in the sun," is the supreme test of an asphalt roof. It is the sun, not rain or snow, that plays havoc with a roof. If it can resist the drying out process of the sun beating down upon it, day after day, the rain or snow will not affect it except to wash it clean and keep it sanitary, •

C e r t a i n - t e e d

Roofingtakes “ its place in the sun” and holds it longer than other similar roofing, because it is made of the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly saturated with the correct blend of soft asphalts, and coated with a blend o f harder asphalts.This outer coating keeps the inner saturation soft, and prevents the drying out process so destructive to the ordinary roof.T h e blend of asphalts used by “ The General” is the result of long experience. It produces a roofing more pliable than those which have less saturation, and w h ich are, therefore, harder and drier.At each o f the General’ s big mills, expert chemisti are constantly employed to refine, test and blend the asphalts used; also to experi­ment for possible improvements. Their constant endeavor is to make the best roofing still better.T h e quality o f C E R T A IN -T E E D is such that it is guaranteed for 5 ,10 or IS years, according to thickness ( I , 2 or 3 ply). Experience proves that it lasts longer. Behind this guarantee is the responsibility o f the world’s largest manufac- kirer of roofings and building papers.

The Methodist Sunday School is conducting a Ked and Blue con­test, which is proving very inter­esting. The object of the contest is to procure new members for the school, encourage Bible reading and punctuality in ^attendance. The contestants are given buttons designating the side to which they belong and each member works to secure new members for his or her side. Everv child and grown-up, too, should be in Sunday School: Nowhere will you be in better company and no study is more elevating than that of the Bible. Get the habit of attending Sunday Schoo! and you wiil never have cause to regret it.

The enrollment in the .Mex High School for the first week is very encouraging. The enroll­ment in tlie variour grades are:

High school. 9ih, 10th and 11th grades, 17 pupils; Mrs. Murdock, 7th-A and Sth grades, 22; Miss Kerr, fith and 7th-B grades, 27; Miss Westfall, 4th and Sth grades, 37; Miss Huff. 2nd and 3rd grades, 3 1; M ss Woodson, primary. 35. Making a total of 169 pupils en­rolled.

All pupils who will be six years old before January 1st, may enter now, but unless entered within a few days parents will please not start them until after the first of the year.

Parents are requested to report to me any complaints they may have and they will be looked af­ter immediately. ^

Suggestions from parents will be appreciated.

The fact that the railroads are fading behind the needs of the country was pointed out recently in a most impressive way by Mr. Howard Elliot, president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford lines, in an address be­fore the railroad development as­sociation, who said in part:

“ The development wock taday in which you and all others in the United States are interested is be­ing halted because the plants of the railroads cannot produce

BIG CROWD ABEND FAIR

•-

u -l i -

The heavy rain of last Thurs­day night p jt somewhat of a dam per on the Alcx fair. However, Friday’s sunshine dried up the roads somewhat and a good sized crowd came to town in the after­noon, bringing their exhibits with them. Saturday proved to be the real big day and the people thrpnged the streets. Not a large number of exhibits were entered but they made up in quality what was lacking in quantity. The display was sufficiently large however for strangers to get a good idea o f the quality and vari­ety of products and live stock pro­duced in this township. A num­ber of the entries will be taken to the county fair at Chickasha this week.

enough transportation for the needs of the people. The same thing is true of many other manu­facturing and indusrral plants. In these cases, however, the country does not condemn the manufact­urer, lut, on the c ntrary, its pol­icy has been to help them so that they may increase their plans and increase their productivity.

“ Unforiunately. the same poli­cy has not been pursued toward transportation business, and now these plants, as 1 have already stat­ed, are not large enough to manu­facture day by day the safe and ad equate transportation that is neces­sary for all other forms o f busi­ness. Railroad owners and rail­road managers rave made errors and unfortunately these errors have been magnified by those who either cannot, or do not see fhat the repressive and depressivs pol­icy of the lasften years toward the transportation business could have but one effect in the long run, namely, that of stunting its growth.

“ Some of us in the business have tried hard to make this clear, and, for our pains have been call­ed calamity howlers and pessi­mists. Instead, what we have been trying 'o do was to have a reasonable margin in the transpor­tation business so that the plants could be added to constantly and be ready ‘ to serve the people when the peak load came. The owners and managers are in the position ot trying to serve 100,000, 000 people, to treat fairly nearly 2,000.000 employes, to respond to the conflicting rules, regulations and dema.tds o f forty-eight sov- erign statesand the Interstate com­merce Commission.

“ Meantime, the country has been growing fast, and the result has been a diversion of energy in­to channels thal were not produc­tive for the country as a whole; and the railroads have not been able to do the best they could to prepare for an increasing volume of business. So, today, the coun­try is face-to-face with inadequate facilities, and there should be good temper and co-operation by all to do the work required and to bring the transportation plants up to the present needs and to have a sale margin for future de­mands.’ ’—adv

clearly. Are your lips close to the transmitter? A h ! That is m uch bettfer, I hear you perfectly now .”

W h en the telephone talk ended he turned to his friend and sa id : “ Som e people forget that they can’t get thebest results when telephoning unless they speak D IR E C T L Y IN T O the transmitter.”

D id it ever occur to you that you might not be using your telephone the right w ay? D o you speak sideways, speak above, speak below , speak six inches away from the m outhpiece o f your'telephone, or do you speak directly into the transm itter?

Soldier* if Home Allowed to Vote.It is not likely ihat any members

of the Oklaboma nalional guard will lose their right to vote in the coming | .November election by rea.son of their i service on the border provided they j return home by election lime, accord- - ing to the opinion of many state of I ficers. ^

ll is believed that most of them reg- I istered before being called into ser- { vice and even if they did not, it tbey were voters in 1914 and are qualifie*! - at this time they can still exercise tbe'right of suffrage, the registration | law.s making it mandatory for election | officials to permit 1914 voters to par- I Ucipate in the .November election, I whether regl.stered or not, providing I they have not in the meantime be­come disqualified.

Then if they did not vote in 1914 they will have an opportunity to reg- i ister daring the suppletneutal regis- i tratlon, beginning twenty and ending ten days before election. If they are still in servilce on the border at elec­tion time there is no provLston in the Oklahoma election law under whicn they could vote.

At tbe last extra session of fhe legi.'lature a law wes pa-osed, known as the ‘‘absent voters’ bill." which gives voters who are necessarily ab­sent from their homes on genera? election days the right to vote in any precinct in the stale, but this does not apply to the Oklahoma voters who are out of the state.

The coming November elecion will be the first gene'ta’. election held since the new law waa passed.

Oklahoma Liked By Big Lenders.Oklahoma is in particular favor with

the large life insurance companies as a place for money investment in farm mortgage-s. this state ranking next to Iowa in desirability, according to a re­cent Issue of the United Statea Inve.st- or, a large eastern financial publica­tion.

The publication asserU that “ this Is a rare tribute to the virtue of Okla-

• homa farm loans;" and "Oklahoma earns next to first place, for. in pro­portion to the entire value of its farm property the Insurance companies have loaned more money in Oklahoma than in any other of the fifteen or more .states, except lowa. which the.se companies fancy at all as a lending field."

Along a little further, the same ar­ticle says; "There has been much talk In the last few week.? about the depreciation of the corn crop of Ok­lahoma. Despite that talk, and the fact that the production this year of both corn and wheat will be le.'s than 1915, the production of both will nev- erthele-ss exceed the average annual production of preceding years, in other word.?. Oklaboma is becoming a reliable producer, whose farmers who do not sink into financial diflficulty be­cause of a single year’s disappointing crops."

CATTLE MEN DISCUSSING TICKS

Additional Cattle Dipping Vats Fon

Johnston County.

Oklaboma City.—Tfrrltory hitherto Inaccessible lo Ukliihoma City except by roundabout methods of transporta­tion will be pul in direct touch with this city when the Atchison, Topeka & Santa P'e railway company constructs its proposed, cut-off line tbrough Osage county. Construction work would begin within the next few months it was learned, when a party of ofllclals trom Pawhuska visited the lo­cal Chamber of Commerce and de­clared lhat tholr city had already raised a bonus of $60,000 for the road.

According to tentative plans, the Santa Fe will build ita lino from Caney, Kan., through Pawhuska to Pawnee, couniy seat ot Pawnee coun- ty . This road will parallel the line of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas but will run several miles to the west.

From Pawnee the present line of the Santa Fe will be followetk to Sllll- wator, whence new tracks wilr be laid probifhly to Pleasant Valley. From there tho road to Guthrie and Okla­homa will again be used. At Caney tho Santa Fe has rails direct to Kan­sas (Jity.

A'ccording to information given the Chamber of Commerce by the Paw­huska oUlcials, it Is the plan of the Santa Fe lo shorien ita main line to the gulf. Tho propoaed new_ construc­tion will eliminate 150 mile’s of rail? which now must be traversed between Kansas City and Galveston.

The understanding of Pawhuska Is that the new line through Osage coun ty muat bo completed hy 1918, which allows tho Santa Fe little more than a year to finish the work.

Talk Into Your TelephoneSO M E TIM E ago, while a business man was tele­

phoning, a friend in his office heard him say to the person at the other end o f the w ire; "I don’t hear you

clearly. Are your lips close to the transmitter? Ah! That is much better. I hear you perfectly now.”

W hen the telephone talk ended he turned to his friend and said: "Some people forget that they can’t get thebest results when telephoning unless they speak D IR E C T L Y IN TO the transmitter.”

Did it ever occur to you that you might not be using your telephone the right w ay? Do you speak sideways, speak above, speak below, speak six inches away from the mouthpiece of your telephone, or do you speak directly into the transmitter?

London. — Attacking simuluneously on an arc of fifteen miles from Mar- tinpuich to the Somme, tbe British and French have delivered another smashing blow on the German lines and pushed forward tbeir positions (or notable gains.

From Martinpuich to Combles, a dia- tance of six miles tbe Britikb bave driven in their wedge more lhan a mile and captured the important strat­egic towns of Lesbeoufs and Morval, the latter a mile north of Combles.

The French captured Cancourt. two miles east and tbe out.»kirts of Fregi- court, one mile northeast of Combles. Trenches close to Fregicourt near Boucbavesnes and south from the Canal Du .Nord to the Somme were taken.

The capture of .Morval by the Brit­ish and of part of Fregicourt by the French apparently seals the fate of Combles which the Germans have de­terminedly held (or weeks. Tbe de­fenders have left to them for escape only the valley, a mile in width run­ning north-northeast and in the trav­ersing of which they must come under the British and French guns (rom .Morval about Fregicourt.

Anotber notable step in their ap­proach upon Peronne Is the capture Sy the French of irenches in the Canal Do Nord region. Except in Prance there have been no important engagements on any of the various fronts.

But few clews have heea obtained 0.? to the Ideal liy of the mob mem bers, who, after overpowering tho guards and battering down the Jall doors, hanged Dudley lo a lelephone pole in the outskirts of the lown and riddled hls body with bullets. All were masked, und witnesses, Includ­ing the jall guards, said they had no Information concerning those who par­ticipated tn the lynching o.her thun a belief that they were neighbors of the murdered couple from Stilwell.

The hauging of Dudley was the first lynching in Kansas since 1902.

Olathe is the center of curious crowds,'many of whom came from a distance und mosl of whom joined in praising Mrs. Carroll, wife of the sher­iff, for her heroic attempts lo pre­vent the lynching.

London.—Of the twelve hig Zeppe­lins which Invaded the British l.-les 10 dual death und dealrucilon from the skies, two lie slark and black masses of steel and aluminum in the little village of Mangold, Essex coun­ty, the victims of the anti-aircraft defenses of London and outlying dis- iricts.

One came down a flaming torch, as did the Zeppelin L-21, destroyed three weeks ago, while the second, disabled by gun flre, effected a landing which saved the lives of the crew, who are prisoners In England. The crew of Ihe first raider died in the consuming flames of their own ship, but they were not so terribly charred as thelr predecessors.

Thla latest raidrfr to light her own funeral way on English soil coU.apsed and was consumed much more ijulckly than the L-21. It is possible, though, thal some of the men were still living when the great vessel struck the ground. Tbe captain’s body was found some distance from the wrelk,

The burning of the first Zeppelin was witnessed by ten of thousands of London residents.

T h ir ty Persons Killed.The raiders took a heavy toll of

lives before their destruction, twenty- eight persons being killed and ninety- nine wounded In the metropolitan dis­trict of London. Two persons were killed, two others are believed de-’.d and seventeen were wounded in the provinces.

The property damage while widely distributed, la confined for the most parts to small suburban dwellings and shops, although one railway station was damaged, some empty cars being destroyed and part of the tracks torn up.

The roar of dropping bombs was heard in many districts where Ihe raiders were Invisible. It Is not be­lieved that more than two or three Invading Zeppelins which crossed tho east coast succeeded In reaching the environs of London nnd that two of Ihese paid the death penally gives the greatest satisfaction lo the mili­tary authorities.

Th irty -T h re e Aeroplanes LosLOfiiclal statements from the various

war capitals indicate lhal nearly flfty aeroplanes engaged in duty al the front were brought lo earth and the majority destroyed In two days, Sat­urday and .Sunday. Probably the mosl violent lighting of the war partici­pated In by aerial craft look place theae two days on the Comme front.

Paris reports thot French airmen have accounted for twenty-six German aeroplanes while Berlin records the bringing down of twenty tour entente allied machines, twenty of them on the Somme front. Five German ma­chines wore deslfoyed hy the British and two others driven down damaged while live Brltlah machines are miss­ing. Berlin admils the loss of six niachlnes.

The aerial fight in which Sergeant Klffeii llockwell of Allanla, Ga., war wortally wounded by a Gorman took place over the lown of Thann. The body of the American aviator fell in re-ooniitiered territory In Alsace, neat the spot where Rockwell shot do\sn his flrsl adversary five months ago.

Rockwell was serving as a volunteer in the Franco-Amerlcan flying corps on the Verdun front. A few houra previous to the engagemenl he had heen promoted lo the rank of second lieutenant, hut died without knowing of the new honor. He already had received Ihe military medal.

Sergeant Rockwell is the second American flyer lo he killed In action. Ju.st three months ago, on June 24. Corporal Victor t.'hapman of New York, also a member of the Franco- American corps, was killed at Verdun in a battle with German aeroplanes.

Progress On the Battle Lines.On the battle-front In France, vio­

lent artillery duels have predomi­nated.

Russian attacks on the upper reaches of Ihe Dniester resulled in a general engagement. North ol Zborow the attackers entered the Teu­ton trenches, but later, according to Berlin and Vienna, were driven out, suffering sanguinary losses and leav­ing behind them seven hundred pris­oners and seven machine guns. Petro­grad, however, says Ihat In this re­gion the Russians took prisoners 1,500 Austrlans and Germans. In tho Car­pathians several positions have heen retaken hy the Teutonic forces.

British Cross Struma.British troops have crossed Ihe

Struma at tliree points and takeu Jenniita from the Bulgarians while the Serbs have made additional pro­gress northwest of Kamlkcalan and the French to the northwest of Fior­ina. Sofia reports the capture hy Ihe Bulgarians of a mountain creat south of the village of Popla.

Violent Austrian attacks in the Carso region on the Dalian front failed, according lo Rome, but the Italian war ofllce admits the blowing up of a part of Mount Clome by an Austrian mine and the abandonment of the position by the Italians.

The pie supper and program given by the school Friday even­ing was a very pleasant affair and a goodly number enjoyed the occasion. The program which was composed of music, songs, readings, speeches, etc., was a pleasant feature of the evening’s entertainment. A full half hun­dred pies, as fine as eye ever be­held, with as many fair owners weie sold by the shadow route, and something like $42.55 were realized which will be applied on the piano fund. The faculty are to be congratulated upon their efforts in helping to secure the splendid new piano which is now a part of the School equipment.

Overflow of live stock this years This was what Secretary I. S. Ma­han of the Oklahoma State Fair, said of this department a few days ago. Breeders from all sections of the west have reserved stalls and pens for the big fair that opens Saturday, the 2.1. Many new fa­ces will be found in the live stock section. They have been attract­ed by the liberal cash premiums offered and the possibility of sale among Oklahoma farmers, who are buying registered live stock as never before.
