A Lone Bandit holds Up Bank Official And Gets Away With $3,000

ROBBERS CAUGHT AND MOMEY RETURNED

IN LESS THAN ONE HOURThe F irs t National Bnnk of

Alex waa robbed at noon Thursday by one man who held up L .L . Laws, vice president cf the bank and only official present, together with a customer and two small boys who were in the bank at the time, secured $3,000 in silver and currency, locked H r .Laws and his customers in the vault and left town without having been noticed by any one on the street.

t” ntion thinking it an April fool joke. Mr. Chitwood and J. M. Campbell got back just bs Mr. Laws, w itlr a screw driver and flash light had-succeeded in removing the corr. bination and the door was readily opened.

About noon a live passenger Ford car coptaining two men, and a suitcase was noticed by Mrs. J. J. Hotaling, who lives over the bank, to drive up and turn around and stop- at the

But his joy of possession was • side of the building and back of phort lived, for he was ca"tured at Bradley, a town 5 miles southof here, together with his driver, the money secured and returned to the L a: k and the man in charge of the sheriff and deputi es on the road to Chickasha in less lhan two h.,uro’ time’.

Laws had gone to dinner, and while waiting on a customer at the window he noticed a man enter the door, but being busy figuring he kept on, and when through raised his head and found he was gazing directly into the barrel of a gum pointing at him over the shoulder of G. R. Bopgs the customer upon whom he h d been waiting. For> a second he thought it a joke, but when the man handed him a sack and told hirn to put the monev into it he realized the seriousness of his position.

Mr. Boggs, who has lately moved here, and not realizing the situation, started out when he was Ordered to stop a id with the bovs was ordered around and and into the vault. He then ordered Mr. Laws into the vault and to open the safe and get the money there and to. be quick about it. He then closed the vault door, turned the combination and left the bank.

A faw minutes later Alex Chitwood. who had just arrived from Chickasha, stepped into the bank to speak to the attendants, but seeing no one present and the

Mr. C. Keottle brought us a nice hen Saturday, which we enjoyed very much. We certainly appreciate these little deeds of kindness from our patrons and friends.

closed the car door and walked leisurely down the street. Seeing he was not looking for her thought no more about them until the al trm was given, when it was learned that the description of the robber given by Mr. Laws was the same as thc.t of the man in the car.

Messages were sent out and searching parties we e going in all directions in a very few minutes after the robbery took place. In a short time word was received from Bradley stating that constable Tom Drain had captured tha bandit and anot’ er man who was driving the car and the money. The men were brought to Alex and identified as the bandit and the occupants of the car, although the bandit had changed his clothes, whuh were found in a suit case in the caa.

The bandit was recognized as Ed Sailing of near Rush Springs and the driver as Dave Albright who had worked near here, but clained to be employed as driver for SL garage at Lindsay.

Sheriff Sankey and deputy D'Arthur Wilson came down

Property Loa*.

Chicago—With the dead estimated at 161, more, more than 1,000 persons Injured, hundreds of families cast homeless Into the streets and a property loss of probably thirty millions of dollars, Sunday’s tornadoes which tore lanes of destruction and death through seven central west ar.d southern states, passed Into history aa constituting one of the greatest storm disasters on record in the United States.

The known dead ln Georgia and Alabama number 55 and several hundred Injured. The property damage will total at least a million dollars.

The storm claimed 26 victims in western Ohio and injured many hundreds of persons. Property damage runs into millions ot dollarB.

One death, Louis Helllngs, of Oklahoma City, six hurt and $50,000 property damage is the toll of St. I/outs.

The heaviest toll of lives taken by the storm is reported at LaOrange, where fifty are dead and -more than one hundred Injured. Property damage 1b estimated at $500,000.

The deaths by localities are as follows:

Ohio, 26—Greenville and Nashville, 8, Vanwert, 3; Moulton, 3; Renolette and Brunersburg, «; Genoa, 2 (14 injured; Rabbs Corners, 4 (20 Injured).

chiefly at Elgin and Melrose Park. Eight were killed and more than 100 injured at the former city, thirty- eight mileB west of Chicago and the property loss there was estimated at $4,000,000.

At Melrose Park Just west of th* Chicago city limits, seven were killed and four were reported missing.

Two Chicagoans were killed and a score were Injured, while at Dunning a northwestern suburb, four deaths were reported, more than a hundred were injured and 1,000 were made homeless.

While northeastern Illinois sufcialn ed the principal damage the tornado, ln its freaklBh career, swept several Indiana towns, near Fort Wayne, and caused the death of one man and the injury of several persons in St. Louis and a woman at East Troy, Wis.

Reports from some of the oauntry districts in Illinois and Indiana were meager, and lt was feared th a t the death toll would be considerably aug mented when isolated rural communl ties were heard from. Telephone telegraph and power wlrea to nearly all of the towns in the path of the storm were down, and many of the places were ln darkness.

MOTHER OCEAN’S PARTY.

Mother Ocean was very happy. She was going to bave a party.

“Now, children,” she said, “all get ready for the party. Wear your best dottles. Don’t forget that King Foam Is coming to dinner first, and that we’re to have the party afterward.”

So the waves and the sea fnlr- lea, and all the children of Mother Ocea’n got ready for the party. They put on their best party dresses of blue with

“How Do You Do?” sparkling sea diamonds for orna

ments. How gay and beautiful they did look, and Mother Ocean came out dressed up as finely as could be with the loveliest snd the most dazzling dress ever you or I saw before.

At last It was time for King Foam to appear.

"How do you do. Mother Ocean?” he said as he arrived.

Honored to see you, sir,” said Mother Ocean.

And nil the waves end sea fairies sa id ; “Honored to see you, sir."

“ We are going to dine first,” said Mother Ocean. “And we have tried to prepare a repast which will please you."

She smiled at King Foam the loveliest smile you ever saw. It was such a beautiful smile, so dazzling and so gny and so happy and so bright that lt was enough to make the whole world feel bright ond happy and merry and gny If they could have seen It, and all those who did see It were smiling and saying:

“Did you ever In your life see such s beautiful day?’

It was all because of Mother Ocean’s party nnd her smiles.

"We’ll have the music start now,” said Mother Ocean, "and It will play throughout the dinner, too,. She gave a low call a*d then the music began. It was beautiful music, and the musicians were sll hidden ln their little stage right under the top of the water.

They played the most beautiful tunes, sometimes they were Jolly and merry and sortie of them were sad and almost made you feel like weeping, and others were Just of beautiful sounds put together ln a beautiful way. Everything they played, though, was Ijeau* tlful.

And sometimes they sang as they played, songs which went like this:

T h . m u.to of t h . oc.an I . vary, »* rr d ..p . I t will .n m .t lm .a m .k . you im t l . m i l u m . .

t lraai m ftki you w o p .I t will ba »o wild ona m om in t you'll th ink

U ahould ba droppad,And than ’tw ill ba so beautiful you'll rajotoa

It wjum't atoppad.

And another song was:W . lo r . tn . . I n i for M oth .r O c .a n '. party, Anal f . r all h .r (U .a t . tc b a l. and h .a rtr . W . lo v . to f l n i for (ood old K ina roam And a ll who over t h . oc.an roam.

They sat down to dinner and bad a delicious meal of seaweed of the flneat kind, sea moss, and many other sea vegetables and greens.

They drank sea water and *lso had dishes of whipped cream made by King Foam's subjects.

After the dinner was over, which, by the way, was served In green goblets and upon sea green china. Mother Ocean said the party would continue, or perhaps wa should say she said lt would begin I

All the fairies and the sea creatures hurried a little distance along from where the dinner had been given, aud then hack they caine bringing an enormous raft with them—a great big board which was floating In the water.

Then they began to play and to dance, and always upon the rsfl, and of course It \ would turn over and over again In the breakers, becauae everyone w ai trying to get the other off!

They p l a y e d hnll, too, while stsndlng on top of the raft, hut Ihey never stood ther« very long before they were dropped off Inin ili'Hr old Mother Ocean's lap.

They had logs which the very younger ones at the parfy used aa floats, and there were boards all painted up In a moat berutlful fashion to rid* npon over the breakers.

Oh, whst a game and a frolic they had, and all dressed up In their best, tool Hut they only looked the more besutlful as they plsyed the hsrder, snd when It was all over how glad Mother Ocean was that she had given a party aud how glad everyone also was, tool

That •*ttl*ii I t Wlllts (excitedly)—Hey, pep, ne

follows regarding her experience with

Cardui: “Some time ago I had a

nervous breakdown of some kind . . .

I was very weak, and so nervous. It

all seemed to come from . . . trouble,

for a t . . . I had fainting spells and

suffered a great deal, bnt more from

’the weak, trembly, no-account feeling

than anything else. I knew I needed

a tonic, and noeded It badly.

UI began the use of Cardui, to see

tf I.couldn’t get some strength, as I

knew of other cases that had been

helped by Its use. I felt better . . .

I soon saw a great Improvement, ao

kept lt up.

“I used seven bottles of Cardui, and

can say the money was well spent, for

I grew well and strong. Now able t»

do all my housework and a great deal

of work besides.” ,

If yon sre run-down', weak, nervous,

will help yon. In the way lt has helped

Broom Corn Growers Attention

We have a limited amount of our own selected Illinois grown 98% pure Black Spanish Broom Corn Seed. You will remember we introduced it here two years ago, and it has brought from one to two hundred dollars per ton more money in every instance since, than any other kind. We are still the foremost produc rs of this variety. Also we are the biggest buy ers of bioom corn in the district and our purpose in distributing is principally to see that tne high quality standard is maintained and improved and to buy your broom corn at the highest market price. To this end we keep on file names and addresses of all growers planting our high class seed and we ex- pfect to buy his crop because we know in advance the grade and quality to expect. I f you have not bought your seed, do so at once for when the small amount w e have left is gone there will b e no more s e e d of this quality avai able and you will have to plant cheaper quality Beed and probably have to pay as much or more money. Naturally cheap er seed raises cheaper broom corn.

Our seed is for sale by J. E . Cruse general store at Alex.

London—The slnn feln plan to destroy all British records and plunge the country’s administration Into confusion was put into operation when fires were started in official buildings all over Ireland.

Belfast was Isolated from the rtst of the world. The land wires and cable to England were cut and the only means of communication was the telephone.

The Grand Central hotel, in which are located the pensions, labor and other departments, and the Bank of Ireland were entered during the night and a large number of documents were destroyed. Th'e raiders then tried to burn the buildings, but a flre brigade prevented this.

Three separate blazes were found in the Income tax office. The city post office and public buildings are under strong guard. Dispatches state the city is calm and the authorities have the situation ln hand.

Petrol Used.Attempts also were made to set flre

When communication with Belfast was partially restored it was discovered that a wave of destru6tion had swept over th'e province of Ulster.

Police barracks in all parts of the province have been burned or blown up. The conspirators sought out mostly the smaller towns. Revenue offices also were ignited on a large scale.

Belfast is still cut off from Dublin. At Londonderry men singing republican songs cut the hose lines as firemen were trying desperately to save the revenue offices and the pension of-

ALVIN C YORKPALL’MALL,TENNl.

On October 8, 1918, Sergeant Alvin York and seven privates, advancing on a German position in the Argonne, faced an entire machine gun battalion. Official records show that York killed 20 Germans with his automatic pistol and rifle, captured 132 prisoners, and put 35 machine guns out of action. York received the highest American military decoration— the Congressional Medal of Honor. Upon his return from France, the Tennessee Legislature commissioned him a Colonel, for life, on the Governor’s staff.

A B l a c k - D r a u g h t F a m i l y

To a reporter, who visited the York home, Colonel York authorized the publication of the following statement:

“My mother has used in our family for years, Thedford’s Black- Draught for torpid liver, stomach trouble, headache and other troubles. * We

certainly can recommend it and gladly do so.

“We use it constantly and call it our family medicine. My mother doesn’t think she could get along without it, and we, when children, dared

not complain unless we wanted to be dosed with

human excreta, then and only then can the city or community feel safe from an attack of typhoid.

The largrr cities of the United States have practically eliminat- te this disease. Spokane, Washington didfl’t have a single death from typhoid during the whole year 1919. Sixty of the largest cities in the United States had an average of only four deaths to every 100,000 population last year. Th is is positive proof that “prevention is the cure” for typhoid.

Bu t the smaller towns nnd rural communities do not h ive the funds nor equipment with which to fight that the cities do, so the matter of protection with them is very much of an individual problem. However, it can be done success'ullo and the State Health department is going to spend time and energy in 1 elp- ing rural communities, towns and cities fight Typhoid fever.

Fight Typhoid Early

Though Typhoid fever is not wholly confined to any particular season of the year, It is cer-< ainly most prevalent during the hot months of mid-summer and oarly fall.

Last year in Oklahoma approximately 75% of all deaths from typhoid occurred during the months July to November, inclusive. But this does not mean that Oklahomans should wait until this time of the year to fight ' he disease. Rather it shows decidedly that preventative measures should be begun and practised before.

Grady county peop'e are to have their first opportunity of seeing the first base ball team which ever represented the county in organizrd base ball, in action next Saturday and Sunday, when Chickasha Western association team plays the Ninth Field A-tilery nine of Fo rt S ill at League Park, Clvckasha.

These gimes will be exhibitions before the opening of the regular playing season which date is April 22, when Chickasha plays Enid at Chickasha. The Fo rt S ill soldiers always put out a jam-up club and th is will give Grady county fans an opportunity of seeing what the Chickasha league club looks like, as a baseball aggregation.

The Chickasha club has more than 25 olayers in training now and one of the best teams in the entire circuit will doubtless result. One of the biggest crowds that ever assembled at a sport.

" I t ’s easy enough to smile,When everything goes like a song But the man worth while is the

man who can smile,When everything goes dead

wrong.”Smiles do help a heay, and it

is our opinion there will be a whole lot of smiling done in this part of the country, when the Alex, well comes in for a mighty gusher.

Smiles don’t cost anything, and i t ’s a whole lot better to smile than to frow. The man who smiles feels better himself, but the smile being infectious, helps every one with whom he comes in contact.

We have often wondered if it ever occuired to our readers what a really wonderful oil opportunity we have here. Do you fullv realize what i t means to our community to have a well right on the edge of our town, drilled to the depth this one is, and which has had such wonder ful promising showings of both oil and gas?

Any other town in the state o Oklahoma would be willing to give thousands of dollars for what we have here, especially when we have a man at th . head of this company who has taken the “ T ” out of can’t and knows no such word as quit.

What a wonderful thing it will be for the town and every citizen therein, when the Alex well begins to prod.’.ce and a wonder, ul new oil eld is opened up. When this comes about and it should be soon, i t will be the means of putting Alex on the map. I t will make it one of the wonder cities of the United States.

You perhaps have never fully realized what a great man w« have in Mr. Arthur Chap

man, and the wonderful things he has accomplished and has in store for you when our well comes in.

But readers, it's a long hard struggle-the opening of a large new field. There are almost insurmountable difficulties to be overcome. Many men under the si me trying conditions would have given up long ago. But he hasn’t. He has worked all the harder and ' e will succeed.

Surel his interest shou d be no greater than your own. Th is is not his home town. I t is yours. You are the one who should be interested. You are the one who should work. Encourage him in every way possible. Yours to the duty of working and bodsting and you should realize the obligation, get behind him and push. Help him in every way to make his dreams come true for they are also your dreams.

Think what a wonderful thing it would be to wake up some morning an find Alex the center of a field of derricks spouting black gold. Oh, t oy, wouldn’t it be a great and glorious feeling? wouldn’t it make you smile.

Think what t would means in dollars ar.d cents. Think of leases selling for $5,000 and $10- 000 an acre. Th ink what i f. would mean to you as merchant, and as a citizen.

Think it over and let’s get busy and make Alex the metropolis of the southwest, the largest oil town in the state of Oklahoma. Every oil town in the state has been made by the united ofTorts ol its cfrizens find so must Alex.

Remember our prediction Alex is the coming big oil field in the country.

Sees Big Gusher

Charley Holder, junior member of the firm of Bond & Holder, went to Duncan, Sunday, where he witnessed the big 1,500 barrel oil well brought in a few days ar o by the Empire people. I t was the first gushe* he had ever witnessed and says it was a wonderful s'ght and the streets and roads were a mass of moving humanity going to and from the well.

Quite » bit of excitement prevailed here Wednesday, when it was reported that the Santa Fe well had drilled itself in and oil was flowing over the ground in streams. The report could not be verified, however, and no further word has yet been received. I t is hoped it was true, as it would open an oil field in Gr dy county, locaied as it is,almost on the line, in Stephen cou- ty, which is already produci g tig gushers, the lat< st having been brought in a few days ago at Duncan.

We have a limited amount of our own selected Illinois grown 98'; pure Black Spanish Broom Corn Seed. You will remember we introduced it here two years ago, and it has brought from one to two hundred dollars per ton more money in every instance since, than any other kind. We are still the foremost produc rs of this variety. Also we are the biggest buyers of bi oom corn in the district and our purpose in distributing is principally to see that the high quality standard is maintained and improved and to buy your broom com at the highest market price. To this end we keep on file names and addresses of all growers planting

i our high class serd and we ex- | pect to buy his crop because we know in advance the grade and quality to expect. I f you have not bought your seed, do so at once for when the small amount we have left is gone there will be no more seed of this quality avai able and you will have to plant cheaper quality seed and probably have to pay as much or more money. Naturally cheap er seed raises cheaper broom corn.

Our seed is for sale by J. E . Cruse general store at Alex.

Chicago.—While the unauthorized strike of railroad employes started In Chicago two weeks ago with the walkout of 700 switchmen on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railway appear* generally to be waning In the middle west and the far weBt, the situation In the territory east of Cleveland has taken on a more serloua as- !>ect.

The center of development in the walkout of the Insurgents bas definitely shitted to the east, where additions to the ranks of the rebel railroad workers had caused a serious stoppage of freight and passenger traffic and the closing of several industries dependent on the railroads for supplies.

Chicago Situation Improved.

The situation in the Chicago yarda showed a marked Improvement and reports from other large railroad centers ln the middle west Indicated that tho orisia of the strike was past and that strikers were returning to work ln considerable numbers. Officers of railroad brotherhoods who have been fighting the strike since its inception, were confident that the breaking up of the walkout in the Chicago territory would be followed by a general resumption of work ln other areas.

The attorney general’s department of Washington has given out the usual hot air about what lt "Intends to do.

The Illinois Central, the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, the New York Central and other roads reported that oar* again were moving in the switch' ing yard* and that embargoes had been partly lifted.

The general managers’ association denied that any negotiations were be ing carried on with the outlay yardmen’s association and atated that no parley would be entered into under any circumstances.

In requesting negotiations looking toward the end of the atrike, President Orunau ot the Yardmen’s Association. the Insurgent union, said con tracts the railroads have with the Brotherhood of Hallway Trainmen and the Switchmen'* Union of North America did not apply to membership ln his union. Orunau denied that the «witchmen's strike was Illegal.

“B. R. T. Took Strlk* Vote.”

“The brotherhood chiefs who acouse us should come with clean hands,” he said. “The Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen took a *trlke vote ln secret two weeks ago. Ballots were cast a< 140 points and authorized brotherhood officer* to call a atrike If their de mand* for increased pay and better working condition* were not granted If our atrike, cleanly, In the open, ia illegal, what do they call tactloa Ilk th a t?”

J. A. Farquharson, an offlcer of the Brotherhood of Hallway Trainmen, said Orunau's charge waa "a fabrication out of whole cloth.”

A. F. Whitney, vice president of the Brotherhood of Trainmen, who haa been leading the union'a campaign in Chicago against the Insurgeants, satd that the crux of the atrike had come and that the rebel movement waa ■teadlly weakening.

GET BUSY ON THAT GARDENCultivation of Vegetables Juat as Im

portant This Year aa I t Wm In 1919.

With sprlngtliie, we ought to have a revival of interest ln gardens. For, whatever the paragraphers may have said about the w ar gardens, the fact Is that they did a lot of good. We ought to have more of them this year than we have ever had; there will be Just as much need for them.

The war gardens did not receive the credit to which they were entitled. Few people appreciated just how much they helped the nation. Funny stories were told concerning them; facetious remarks were made in connection with those who undertook to grow a little food in the backyard. But every vegetable brought to m aturity contributed just that mueji to cutting the cost of living for the producer.

There is no reason to believe that garden vegetables will be cheaper this year than they were last year. There is every Indication, In fact, that they will be fully as high or higher. It 18 going to cost just as much to produce the vegetables; labor is no cheapet this spring than it was last spring— nor is anything else. So it will be well for people who have a plat o t ground to begin figuring upon growing something upon it, and this Is the season to do the figuring.—Coltun- bus Dispatch.

THE VEGETABLE GARDEN.

Even with very little space one may have a garden and, by having a new

crop growing as the crop already matured Is being used, there Is always something green coming on. Radishes und carrots may be sowed In the same

row ; the radishes when pulled will help to loosen the earth around the carrots, and as the radishes grow much faster they are out of tho way before the carrots need the room. Vegetables that grow quickly and those that are slower of growth are best to bow together when space Is very valuable. Where there Is room a small herb bed will be an especial delight. Sage, summer savory, cbevll, thyme, marjoram and other herbs will take but a small space and give back large yields of savory herbs which will be used all the year.

Peas can be planted a week apart for four or five crops. If one 1s fond of that delicious vegetable. Most all gardeners strive for the early varieties of vegetables, but they are not always as well flavored or as satisfactory as those that come a little later.

A few cans may be put up for w inter after the appetite has been partly satisfied, or when the bed produces abundantly. A can or two may l>e put up at a time, taking little time and labor.

Naturally, much local political dlaaentlon haa arteen tn hla coanty and district and he has had w o e hard contests for r'enomtnxtion. bat the fact stands oat that Elm*.- Thomas as a member ef tbe Senate has become aa easen- tial part of state government in Oklahoma, and, because ot his exceptional ability and experience and his. attention to the duties of hia. olhca, one of the dominating factor* 'A ll the conntlei of bla district are honored by Mr. Thomaa’ ataftding in the state and by tbelr ability to recognise it by refuaing to give hia acat to someone ‘elae.”

Lather Harriaon. who has served In the Senate for yeara with Senator Thomas, offer* the following r>commeni*tioa. editorially, ln the Ada Neva:

“Possibly the cHtxen* of the Stxth District might resent a suggestion from tbe outside, bat we consider tt a matter of etate-widfe service to kxpreia the * in cere hope that the voter* of the Sixth District wUl send Elmer Thomas to Coogrees during this good year We are convinced that Oklahoma doea not have wlthlo her border* a man better equipped for Congreatlonal aervlce than Elmer Thomas. He la the atata'a beat parliamentarian. He ia alao the atate's most experienced laglalator. He baa a record for thinga done to hla credit, and that record Is abeolutely clean He would aoon take rank with the leading Congressmen of the nation and bla election would be of distinct advantage to every district tn Oklahoma. Believing that his election would h«lp this district aa much aa tt would tbe Sixth, we hope that we may not be conaidered presumptuous for endorsing bis candidacy.”

Senator Thomaa will make a thorourh canvaaa of the diatrict In an effort to see every vofer before the primary. If elected he wants to be tbe personal representative In Congreaa and in Waahington of every cltlxen of the diatrict. If sent to Congrea* he will go for work and *ervVe and will be found on the Job at all time* during the tenure oi office The voter* will make no mlitake In selecting Thomas to take the place soon to be vacated by Soott Ferris.

LITTLE CHANGE IN PHYSIQUEReport That Average Stature of Amer

ican Men Wae Affected by War Declared Untrue.

The wholesale clothing manufacturers assert that there has not been any change In the size of their garments ■lnce the war. They are manufacturing more garments, but the proportion of larger sizes Is no greater now than It was three years ago. In short, their ■Ize patterns have not changed. Yet changes VoVild be necessary If the stature of American men had been affected In any appreciable way by the year and a half or two years of military training.

Manufacturers of ready-to-wear shirt* and undergarments agree with the clothing manufacturers that there has been no changfe'm iheir size patterns despite the reports of numerous Individuals who tafce “a size larger" today than they did before the war. Aa one manufacturer put it, the proportion qf soldiers who need larger sizes In shirts or suits today than they did two years ago Is so small that tt has no efTect on wholesalers. Salesmen naturally remember certain Indl ▼Idual cases of Increased chest develop ment, but, taking the country by and large, there has been no appreciable change ln the physique of the male portion of the population, a t least as far aa their clothing It concerned.

CLOSE STUDENTS OF NATUREExamination Papers Proved That Pu

pils Must Have Made Keen Ob- servationa of Their Subjects.

A nature study and biology teacher sent the Nature Btudy Review the following from her pupils’ papers, regarding their observation and conclusions In the domain of nature:

"Organic matter is when you have something the matter with your organs.”

“Five devices by which seeds are scattered are wind, water, explosion, tom up, taken out and thrown away.”

"The peculiars of an insect are some of them bring diseases, others destroy food, suck the blood, spoil the flowers, lay eggs and kill babies.”

■The grasshopper, when he walks, either Jumps or hopa.”

“The Jaws of a grasshopper move east and west.”

“A larva Is an unfinished animal.”

Synonymous.It was Springer’s afternoon off and

he thought he would take the children for a little outing.

“My dear,” he said, approaching his wife, “suppose we take the children to the zoo today?"

“Why, Will, you promised to take them to mother’s."

"Ail right, if It’a all the same to tbe children."

Mystery of Influenza Bacilli.There ta more or less mystery about

the bacilli of Influenza, but there is a probable explanation ln the theory that the bacilli ts sometimes ln the form of a fungus. The perplexity of the scientists has probably arisen because hitherto this has been studied only as a bacillus. While there seems

great probability that this bacillus Is responsible for Influenza, no one has yet been able to ascertain how it works, for It has not been possible to Alter out any virus. Perhaps the ba- ciltua ln Ita bacillus form does not give out a virus, but ln Its fungus form It may.

posse started in pursuit of her assailant.

After their capture by the posse the youth and the negro were taken back to Mulberry, where both tlfe young woman and the youth identified the negro as the assailant.

News of the arrest spread rapidly ind the mob soon gathered. Then while part of the crowd held the ofll- cem back the others pried the bars from the window, dragged the negro through the aparture and led him to the telephone pole. A rope was produced and the hanging then took place.

Details of the attack were told the authorities by the white youth, who said his home was in Springfield, 111., and that he was on his way to Call' fornia. He declared he met the negro near Mulberry. -The young white woman was accosted by the negro while they were walking down the railroad tracks, according to his story. He said th a t when he refused to assist ln the attack the negro threatened him. After the attack, he said, he and the negro walked to Mulberry where the la tter compelled him to buy cartridges for a shotgun. Their capture soon followed.

Boy’a Statement Confirmed.The youth held in connection wltb

th'e caae gave hia name as k>. F. C, Workman and his age as sixteen. It also was stated that the young woman had confirmed the boy’s statement that he refused to assist the negro in the attack.

The girl Identified the negro in the Jail before the lynching. The negro was made to climb the telephone pole. The rope dangled from the n’eck of the doomed man. He then was forced to telease hia hold on tbe pole. HU body dropped into mid-air and waa •topped in its descent with a sudden Jerk by the roj/e that was thrown over the cross-arm.

D ID N 'T KNOW T O SO GOOD

Texas Lady Storekeeper, Who Carries Black-Draught in Stock,

Has Found It “Best Uver Medicine” Obtainable.

Barker, T ex—Relating her expert'

enee with Thedford's Black-Draught,

Mrs. A. L. Fromme, of this place,

says: “I had for some time used . . .

and other liver medicines, which

would nauseate and make tne feel bad.

We have a store, and our customers

called for Black-Draught so often that

( decided It must be good, so thought

I would try It myself.

“I began Its use and found lt Just

fitted my case. It neither griped nor

nauseated me, was an easy laxative

and not hard to take.

"I had had headaches a great deal,

oo doubt from torpid Uver. The

RIack-Draught would cure them. The

best way I find to take Black-Draught

is to take one or two good sized doses

until the liver begins to act, then taper

the doses to just a pinch after meals.

“It will Insure good digestion, do

away with the gas or bad taste ln the

mouth, and Is without doubt the best

liver medicine in the m arket I have

found It so. I can recommend It .to my friends, for I believe it will do them good.”

“You might, but you won't. You will accompany me to the bank; you will Rtuud at my elbow while I cash It; you will then enter n motorcar with me and drive to some deserted spot outside Chicago; you will leave the uuto, and thus give me a clmnce to escape. All this while I shall have the dynamite; one fulse move nnd I'll blow us to kingdom come. Your life Is worth ten thousand dollars, I take It. Mine's not. Do I make myself clear?”

“Excessively. And now for the check.” Without moving his head from the buck of the chair Otis produced a private check book and a fountain pen, and, feeling the way with Ills fingers, filled out a check for ten thousand dollars. “Whut nmne?” he asked.

"Make It puvable to bearer.”“Very well—”“B'uther!”A pair of portieres at the rear of

the room were held far apart, and in the aperture stood a girl. Without turning—his back wus toward her— Kltzhugh knew who she was. rie had heard her voice before. As she spoke his uplifted hands dropped swiftly and concealed the newspaper package beneath his coat. Then he turned, and, even as he knew he would, looked Into tbe pansy-blue eyes of the girl with the Titian hair.

There was a dramatic tableau. Fltzhugh, every nerve and muscle tense, stood looking at the girl. Otis, who had not moved, watched him. The girl looked from one to the other Inquiringly. She seemed to know intuitively that something very unusuul had occurred.

Otis was flrst to spenk.“Will you excuse us, Kathleen? This

gentleman nnd I have a little business to transact."

“I did not Intend to Interrupt, father. I thought you were alone."

She went out, closing the portieres behind her. Otis wrote “bearer” on the check, snipped It from the hook anil stood up. He held out the check without saying a word.

Fltzhugh took the slip of paper, studied It reflectively. There was no questioning its genuineness. It called for ten thousand dollars, and the cull was as authoritative as a government bond. Suddenly he drew a deep breath, folded the check, and deliberately tore It twice across. He dropped the pieces on the table, picked up his hat, and without a further word walked from the room.

In the hall he found Kathleen Otis. “Tbls Is not the flrst time,” said he

In bis bent dramatic manner, “you have saved me from myself. I thought I’d tell you."

She stepped hack, looking at him curiously. "I—I’m afraid I don’t un- derstnud you. 1 don’t tlilnk I even know you.”

“It’s hardly possible—"“What were you doing In there?”

she Interrupted. “I know something was wrong! and—” She broke off, and with Impulsive courage fairly shot a question at him. “Were you trying to blackmail my father?”

“Some people might have called It something worse," he replied easily; nnd he was thinking: “She's beautiful—beautiful! This must be the sort tuen go crazy over. The sort meu do things for.”

“What were you doing?" she In- listed.

"Why so inquisitive?" he countered. She looked annoyed. “W-would you

mind telling me your name?” she asked, and dug her nails into her palm* upon feeling her cheeks burning.

He asked pointedly; “Cun you recall the 'dirtiest young man’ you ever saw?”

She bit her lip and stepped back from him. She was scarlet to her temples. "Yea—yea, I remember you now. You are the one 1 gave a dollar to yesterday. 1 believe you said your name wua Kit*—Kltz something or other?"

"Kltzhugh.""Oh, yes—Daniel Fltzhugh! I re-

qiember perfectly now.""I'm glnd you do."Then he became aware that Symlng-

tou Otis was standing In the doorway •f the library. At sight of the man wlinin he half believed a dangerous

lunatic taking th* unthinkable liberty of addressing his daughter Otis’ coolness had vauished, his restraint snapped.

Fltzhugh took the girl’s hand, and In a vibrant voice, pregnant with far more significance than the words It uttered, said, “I will not say goodby but au revolr." Then he turned nnd left the house. The front door hud scarcely closed behind him before Otis wheeled upon his daughter.

“What did thnt mun say to you?" he demanded.

"Why, n-nothlng of uny Importance. Why?" She laughed nervously, like u child caught iu some petty misdemeanor.

“(Jo to your room. That man wns a maniac. He might have killed you. Where’s Noonan?" He rang H servants' bell, ran to tbe hall telephone, rustled through the telephone directory, nnd got the Chicago avenue police station on the wire.

“I’ollce heudquarters? . . . This Is Symington Otis, I.ake Shore drive. Crazy inan just left my house. He’s got a bundle of dynamite, so be careful how you handle him. . . . How'll you know him? Well, he’s dark, very tall, well built, and about twenty-four or flve years old; he wears a soft gray hat, tun shoes and a blue serge suit. Tiie dynamite is wrapped in a newspaper. I'll have my butler and another servant follow him and keep him lu sight. Goodby.”

When the big Iron gate clanged behind Fitzhugh It was upon a very different young man from the one who had entered It. flred with anarchy and

“Were You Trying to Blackmail My Father?”

evil thoughts; he came out, flred with aspiration and good thoughts. Al reudy bis mind was busy with plans for the future. He must not see Ksther again. He must forget her. He would do something big, place himself on nn equal plane with the girl he bad Just le ft There must be no more wildness, no more idlings, nor things forbidden by law. Ambl tlou again throbbed In his veins, but It wus the antithesis of last night’s ambition; that had been the kind which tears down—this wus the kind that builds up.

He turned south on the drive, his brain reveling in golden dreams. In his wake skulked the stout butler and a second servant, who, mindful of the telephoned word, “dynamite,” took especial pains to keep a discreet distance between themselves aud their quarry. Near Chicago avenue be suw a man dodge Into an alley a short way ahead, and though he caught but a glimpse of the man's face, he recognized Detective Kelly. He turned swiftly, started back—and«w»lked Into the arms of two detectives, who seemed to appear from nowhere. Kelly came up on a run, tackled him from the rear aad dexterously twisted the parcel from his grasp.

"What's the charge. Kelly?” asked the prisoner, whose captors held him fast by either arm. “Or is it Just because you owe me one?”

"Never mind what," growled Kelly. "You'll do a stretch thla time you’ll remember. That's euougb for you to know."

Kn route to the police station the detective kept a nice distance to tba rear with his trophy, and only with the utmost caution did lie relinquish It to the desk sergeant.

Fltzhugh was booked under the name of Randolph Klti and consigned to a cell with a "drunk aud disorderly," a petty lutceny case and two negro criminals.

When Symington Otis arrived at the police station the flrat person he met was Kelly, and the flrst question he asked, as he handed him a cigar, was, "Did you get him?"

"We got him all right,” answered Kelly.

The laat vestigo of excitement vanished from the millionaire's face. "And the dynamite?"

Kelly exchanged meaning glances with the.desk sergeant.

“Sergeant," said be, "abow Mr. Otis the 'dynamite.'"

The sergeant bent his gaze thoughtfully upou the financier.

‘‘I don’t know what passed between you und this fellow.” he said, speaking very slowly, "and I don't know what you expect to see, but this Is what he hud on ’Im" And the sergeaut held up a gymnasium sweater, once white nnd fresh but now soiled. “This Is what he hnd wrapped in the newspaper, und 'Is pockets was not burdened with ao tuuch as a match. If he had any dynamite on him it w.ts Inside of 'im, sir."

Otis' lips ennie together in a hard line and his steel-gray eyes acquired the flinty glint which his subordinates and opponents in the wheat pit had long ago come to know and fear. The thought that he had been made a fool of by a brazen Impostor was galling— far more galling than tf the same Impostor hud really robbed him of the ten thousnud dollars. All the rage, all the anger and contumely of the out- rngeil man of money power boiled within him as he whispered savagely to himself: “I'll fix him!" Aud yet agalu: “I’ll fix him!"

------- V-llCHAPTER III.

The flrst person besides the newspaper men to visit Fitzhugh was Esther Strom. He shook hands with her through the iron grating of ids cell.

“Welcome!" he cried gayly. "But how’d you know?”

“I came as soon as I saw this," sho replied, taking a newspaper from under her clouk and holding it between the hurs to him. His eye caught a front-page headline:

“MADMAN RIJNS AMDCK!"

Turning the page he found a group of snapshots of himself In diverse attitudes.

"Here's progressive Journalism!" be laughed, slupplng the paper with tho back of his hand. “These things were taken less than two hours ago. Not had work, either," He regurded them critically. He gloried In the notoriety.

She pressed closer to the bars, and there was a troubled expression on her face. “We must get you out of this some way; and you mustn't treat It so much as a Joke, for It's not. I've a friend who’s a lawyer. I’ll send him to you. I'll manage to pay him somehow, some time.”

"But why?" he asked. “Why bother about me at all? I'm nothing to you."

"I’ll send him right away," she promised. “Goodby." She pressed hi* hand and was gone.

Barely an hour after Esther’s departure the guard let Into the cell a rotund, sleek-looklng man who Introduced himself by printed card a> “Roger Merton, attorney and couu selor-at-law, Ashland block, Chicago, hours nine to flve.” He sat down beside his client on the foul bunk, und behind his plump hand gave a genteel little cough.

“My hoy,” he said, “you huve only one defense. It's insanity—dou’t get excited!”

Fltzhugh laughed. “ Do I look ex> cited?” he asked easily, aud added “or Insane?"

In hiding with Esther.

Andrews for Supreme Justice

To The Demoarati 01 The Fifth Supreme Court District:

I wish to announce to you that I am a candidate for Justice of the Supreme Court from this the fifth district, subjectjto the Democratic party at the August, 1920 piimary.

I ain fifty years of age and was born in Aikansas where I lived t ill I move I to Pau’s Valley in October 1894. I have practiced law in Pauls Valley continuous- sincr that time, being a number of the firm Kiantnn & Andrews, w'hich is probably the oldest law fi-m in the i au i.i puint. of continuous se rv iif together. Having pa: ;'d through the fonnativ. days of this Stale and the old Indian Territo ry 1 feel that; I know the people, as one of them, fully in accord with their aims and aspirations. My continuous work in the courts has grounded me well in the laws of our state, origin and history, and 1 feel that I can render effective service in construing those laws.

My aim, if chosen for the position, wil he to follow the admo-1 nition of the prophet of Isrea! ] “ Do Jn-.fif:; with Judgment.” J

I t occurs tome that to say I w;w born and reared in Arkansas would be sufficient proof of my Deni' cracy, but I might add that 1 have given freely of my servicps to the party in this state during all my residence here and have never before asked any office at its hand--..

Asking all to investigate the merits of my candidacy and upon the information obtained from the people of Garvin county who have known me for a quarter of a century to cast their ballots in the coming primary, I am

Very tru ly yours,L . C . A n d r e w s .

The production of oil in the United State: is one of the most important problems before in- dustral America tod ny. We are living in an oi; age. Tod?y oil has become the premier motive power.

The number and variety of uses of petroleum and its products are continually increasing but even more striking is our increased dependence upon a few of the products of the oil refinery; notably, gasoline, kerosene, the many types of lubricating oil and fuel oil, not to mention the 300 other product of petroleum.

With more than 6,000,000 pleasure vehicles operating in thp United States alone, we have an estimated annual consumption of 120,000,000 gallons a year of high grade lubricating oil, where 20 years ugo the demand for this purpose was practically nothing.

In the face of this increased demand for petroleum products it is rema I able that. th?ir costs have not been greater. Unle^ new fields ure soon discovered we may expect. Ihe price of gasoline and other petroleum prod-. m.v i« ucts to ndvanc-c.

"Goodby, dears; be good children for grandma. Yes, I’ll bring some candy; yes. baby, you may stay up and wait for ns. Don’t forget to practice, nob; and please return the library books, Dick. Goodby. everybody," and Barbara Allen ran down the steps nnd hurried for the train.

“Now for a real rest and some fun,” she thought tn relief as the train neared the city.

‘T ou are right on tlm'*, Harvey,” she smiled as a tall, gray-eyed man eagerly met her In the station. “Today I can have you for a whole afternoon all to myself. I don’t know how I should stand life otherwise, for business claims most of your time usually, and the furnace nnd the children demand the rest of It."

“It Is very flattering to think you prize my society so highly," replied her husband, looking with fond pride a t the dainty, fatr-hnlred little woman nt his side.

“Here wo are ln tlie palace of thrills, and we nre lucsy today, for these nre good seats," said Rnrbarn as they settled themselves In the theater.

“ Sw eets to the sweetest,’ ’ murmured Harvey, handing her n ribboned box and squeezing her bnnd ln the darkness.

“ I told you to tiny only half a pound,” scolded Hnrbnra, “ fo r you know the other ha lf would buy a pair o f stock hiss for baby; but they do look delicious.”• A fte r the picture the llg jits went on nnd tlu* orrliestrn began to piny.

" I t was a good shtnv," snld Barbara as they le ft the theater. “ I laughed till 1 cried, and then I laughed at myse lf fo r laughing."

"Y es, I enjoyed It," agreed Harvey.A large, perfumed, fur-coated Indy j

cmne tuwaid them tmtl stopped to chut.

“ Wp nre (lining In town tonight," s.'tlil Mrs. Crnliam, “ and we take In the opera r.ftenvnrd. Have you been la te ly?"

“ Oh. dear, n o !" laughed Barbara. “ W e nre having our regular day off. E very Saturday afternoon we meet In town and enjoy the movies, nnd end up w ith coffee nml crackers nt a dairy lunch and go hum" with a bagful oC groceries and good ie ' for the children. W e hnve heaps o f fun and It brightens nil the week."

“ Oh, you children !” snld Mrs. Graham Indulgently. "W ell, It’s all right l f you llk»* It, I cnpiKise. W e really must be hurrying, so goodby.”

"Th :tt couple has never grown up." p ity ing ly said Mrs. Crnhain to her husband ns tlie.v walked on .'

“ They seem very happy,” ho replied quietly.

“ I w ish >on bad n fu r cont," sighed H arvey, as they came out o f n -<tore. “ You would look m ighty pretty In one."

“ Yes. o f course It would enhance ity ," • !il Barbara demurely,

"but the real question Is, would you love me more In It?"

"l!i!| I i M e , " snld H arvey sincerely. “ W ell, (lien, would It make me any

happier? No, because I ’m as happ'- ns anyone can be right now. Don’ t mind, I la rvev . dear; we are young yet and there are yertrs o f furs nml operas In anticipate, hut meanwhile It’s n very nice world today.”

The train was crowded and the whlte-hnlred conductor good-naturedly struggled and pushed his way through the happy rnd-of-the-week throng.

"Don't squeeze » e so hard, ladles, yon make me blush,” he joked as he nodded to Barbara and Harvey.

GLANCE

The Largeat Animal.Most boys have seen pictures of the

huge lizard which roamed the earth millions of years ago, and Is supposed to be the largest nnlmal which ever lived. Searchers in Utah have discovered some bones of an animal which was twice the size of this great prehistoric animal. A hole 600 feet long and SO feet deep had been dug when someone claimed the land. The government thereupon created a National Dinosaur Monument, comprising the locality, which will be protected until the Investigations are finished. The work Is being directed by the Carnegie Institute, which discovered and assembled the skeleton of the familiar dinosaur. — Boys’ I.lfe for 11a rch.

made the long voyage from alien shores to our own since liberty’s eternal flre was kindled flrst on American ■oil.

HEALTH NOTES

Only Few People Measles

Escape

To avoid catching the measles sounds easy, but unfortunately '.his is not as simple a matter as it would first appear. The truth is that 'ninety-nine per cent, at least, of all the people born into this world t9ke the measle« the Irst time they receive the mea-

- des germ into their bodies, without regard to robustness or weak ness.

There are only two exceptions. Nursing babies usually escape, ■specially if they are less than >ix months’ old. And once in a jreat while people are born with i peculiar condition called ‘immunity from the measles’ so that hey will not take the disease.\lso a person rarely, if ever, has he measle? twice; the first time t is the genuine disease and the

•hensxt time it is the German measles.

While keeping yourself in good health does not exempt you from ’ he disease, it certainly lessens •he danger that attends every t0

The safest age to have measles h at 15 years old. The most faal age is from two to five; 20 >er cent of those who have measles when under three years die. So even if *ou think it is hopeless to save your ohildreh from measles, altogether, try to save them as long as possible from having it.

When the child or any patient, ■ooks and acts as if he had an exceeding bad cold in the head and some in the lungs and especially i f there is a case of measles in the nei -hborhood, the safest plan is to call the doctor at once.

A Selfish Policy

Union labor has struggled for many years to reduce the hours of work and has even preached the lessening of the ontput per hour, on the mistaken theory that there was or ly a certain •mount c f work to be done in the world and the less one did the more men would be needed. And yet these very men who, having reduced their hours of labor to eight per day, and who are fighting for s till further reductions, protest unceasingly against the cost of foodstufis. I f the farmers and the farm laborers of the country followed the teachings of union 'abor for two or three years there would be a food famine which would shake the world.—Topeka State Jonr- nal.

What this country needs more than anything else at the present time is increased production per man power and an abundant supply of farm labor. The union labor organizations should have a standard of excellence in •kill, accuracy and speed to offset the short hours of labor. If they could furnish the above requirements there would be lest friction between capital and labor.

The Campaign Is On

Alex is seriously handicapped in growth and development because of a shortage of homes.

Many families are living <n cramped quarters or are hunting a place to live,

We cannot hope to attract additional families to Alex unless we can prov de comfortable housing.

Every patriotic citizen should lend his efforts to this campaign to build more honjes- If you are a renter, build a home of your own. If you own a vacant lot improve it with a house for rent or f of sale.

Our modern home plans wiU help Mon to decide. j

Just think, If I hadn't broken my engagement with him I’d be home ju sf reading or sewing or some stupid, ‘sensible’ thing like that, Instead ot having tho time of my young life these few weeks with the crowd once more. Once and for all, Louise, dear, even If you are his cousin, I refuse to hear anything about him. If Bob really and truly ever loved me he would he willing to give up that night work and tuke me around more. Come Lou, let's forget I t”

With a pretty little pout and a coaxing note ln her voice Betty won her wny as usual, and the subject to all appearances was forgotten.

“Well, how about It, Lou 7”Trying to make hli voice noncha

lant, and putting a “don’t care" expression on his face. Bob asked the question which meant so much more to him thun he would admit, as he met his cousin on his return from work, Just as she was leaving the house.

"Oh, Bob, I’m so sorry, but I can’t say anything to her. I told her about the extra money that you were saving, and nil that; but—oh, Bobby, dear, she’s right when you think of It.”

Then, noting the hurt look which her cousin wns vainly trying to conceal, Lou considerately Ignored It, anil with a few conventional remarks passed nn.

That evening ns she wns whirling In the arms of her partner, who was the best dancer on the,floor, nnd enjoying the fact that she was the center of admiration from all sides, the thought suddenly struct her that all of this gnyety wns surface deep.

“How silly It Is,” she thought, “to sec all of these people working so hard, Just twirling around so senselessly.”

“What can be the matter with me,I wonder?" she asked herself. “I’m actually dying for the dnnce to come to an end. Well, Til have a good time later on,” she promised herself.

After the dance came supper In a well-known fashionable hotel.

The thought of another night spent as this ono must have been too much for poor Betty, und she thought she would scream If she remained In this artificial, noisy place one minute longer. To her companion's surprise, Just as the waiter approached the tuhle with a familiar greeting, she leaned across and whispered: “Jack,I want to go home this very minute."

“Well, for henwn’s sake, Betty— you? You don’t really mean that you want to go homel Will wonders never cease 1”

Then, seeing that she was really In earnpst. lie added:

‘Tome on. then. Bettlkins, let’s go. You’re ‘boss' with me tonight, you know, sweetie."

“.lack, please don’t start th a t”The tired wistful little note In her

voice npppiiled to the boy, and be re- ' fraim-d from further comment and led her to a little door so as to avoid 1 the curious glances which Betty would surely meet If she left Co early. I

Wlipn f!o!ty reached home she was tired.

With n little laugh at the absurdity of the thought (for Betty would not admit, even to herself, that she mUseri n rertnin person) she turned on the llglil before her mirror and stood staring at the pretly face.

The next morning Betty could not /rise, nnd .it noon she awoke to hear a deep, henvy voice ringing In her ears.

“Rest is what she will have to have.” Without opening her eyes Betty lis

tened, nnd as tlie voice of her mother entered the conversation and receded down the hull two tears stole out from her closed lids and Betty, was crying as If her heart would break.

A week later a puzzled doctor frowned over a case. Betty was no better. She took no Interest In anything. The little notes of sympathy, the flowers, candy und books only received a passing glance.

‘T here Is something on her mind,” wag his final conclusion, and he left the room to seek her mother. A half hour later the friendly doctor entered the room a wiser man.

"How are you going to bring the roses back to these cheeks, little one] Isn’t there anything you want? Never mind; your mother and I have agreed to let you have Just one visitor today. Do yon think that would cheer you up? Come now, Betty, whom do you want to see?”

Before Betty had a chance to reply the telephone on the stand by her ■Me startled her with a sharp, Impatient ring. With • questioning look a t the doctor, who tried his best to frown, she lifted the receiver and ■eat a weak lltUe "hollo" over the phene. With relief the doctor watched her brightening fsce, bat the only pert of tka conversation that ha heard was Just one b rie r little sentence, bnt h e was satisfied.

“CONQUER AND DESTROY STATE,”

I). S. COMMUNISTS CALL FOR LABOR REVOLT

Revolutionary Pamphlet, Found in U. S. Department of Justice Investigations, Gives Message of Com

munists in Chicago to Russian Headquarters.

Extracts from “Manifesto and Program—Constitution—Report tothe Communist International” by the Communist Party of America,Chicago, III.Communism does not propose to ‘capture’ the bnurreolse parliaments!-?

state, but to conquer and destroy I t As long ns the bourgeolse slate prevails, the capltnlist class ran bnlBe tlie will of tlie proletariat

In those countries In which historical development has furnished tht opportunity, tho working class has utilized the regime of political democracy for its organization against Capitalism.

The older unionism was based on the craft divisions of smnll Industry The unions consisted primarily of skilled workers whose skill Is Itself a form of property. The unions were not organs of the mllltnnt class struggle. To- Jay the dominant unionism Is actually a bulwark of Capitalism, merging In 1 Imperialism and accepting State Capitalism.

The proletarian revolution comes at the moment of crisis In Capltnllsm, of a collapse of tlie old order. Under the Impulse of the crisis, the proletariat acts for the conquest of power, by means of mass action. Mass action concentrates arid mobilizes the forces of the proletariat, organized and unorganized; it acts equally against the bourgools state and the conservative organizations of the working class. Strikes of protest develop into general political strlkei and then Into revolutionary mass action for the conquest of the power of the state. Mass action becomes political In purpose while extra-parliamentary In form; It Is equally a process of revolution and the revolution Itself In operation,

The Communist Party Is the conscious expression of the class struggle ol the workers against capitalism. Its aim Is to direct tills struggle to tlie conquest of political power, the ovorthrow of capitalism and the destruction ol the bourgeois state.

The Communist Party prepares Itself for the revolution ln the measure thnt It develops a'program of immediate action, expressing the mass struggles of the proletariat Theso struggles must be Inspired with revolutionary spirit nnd purposes.

The Communist Party Is fundamentally a party of action. It brings to the workers a consciousness of their oppression, of the Impossibility of Improving tlielr conditions under capitalism. The Communist Party directs the workers’ struggle against capitalism, developing fuller forms and purposes tn this struggle, culminating In the mass action of the revolution.

The Communfct Party shnll niuke the grent Industrial struggles of the working class Its mnjor campaigns, In order to develop nn understanding ol the strike In relation to the overthrow of capitalism.

(a ) The Communist Party shall participate In mass strikes, not only tc achieve the Immediate purposes of the strike, but to develop the revolutlonarj Implications of tlie mass strike.

(b ) Mass strii " •!■■■ v.t.il factors In tlie process out of which develop! the workers’ understanding nnd action for the conquest nt power.

(c ) In mass strikes under conditions of concentrated capltnllsm there li talent the tendency toward the general mass strike, wlflch takes on a political character and manifests the Impulso toward proletarian dictatorship.

In these general must strikes the Communist Party slmll emphasize the necessity of maintaining lndnstry nnd the talcing over of sodul functions usually discharged by the capitalists and the Institutions of capitalism. Tin strike must cease being isolated and passive; It must become positive, general snd aggressive, preparing the workers for tho complete ussumption of industrial and social control

(a ) Every local und district organization of the Party shall estahllsl contact with Industrial units in Its territory, the shops, mills and mines—and direct Its agitation accordingly.

(b ) Shop Committees shull be organized wherever possible for the purpose of Communist agitation In a particular shop or Industry by tlie worker* employed there. These committees shall be united with each other and wltli the CoinmuuUt Party, so that tbe party shall have actual contact with the workers and mobilise them for action against capitalism.

The Communist Party must engage actively In the struggle to revolutionise the trade unions. As against tha unionism of the American Federation ol Labor, the Communist Party propagandises Industrial unionism and Industrial union organization, emphasizing their revolutionary Implications. Industrial Unionism Is not simply a means for the everyday struggle against capitalism; Its ultimate purpose Is revolutionary, Implying the necessity of ending the capitalist parliamentary state. Indnstrlal Unionism Is a factor In the flnal mass action for tbe conquest ef power, as It will constitute tho basis for the Industrial administration of the Communist Commonwealth.

(a ) The Communist Party recognises that the A. F. of L. la reactionary and a bulwark of capitallam.

(b ) Councils of workers sksll be organiaod tn the shopa aa drcumstaneei allow, for the purpoee of carrying on tbe Industrial union straggle In the old unions, uniting and mobilising the militant elementa; these councils to be untiled In a Central Council wherever paaelbla.

(c ) It shall be a SMjor task of the Communist Party to agitate for ths eaastructlon of a general Industrial union organisation embracing the L W. W„ W . l L U., Independent and seceaaion unions, militant unions of ths A. T. of L . and the unorganised workers, on the baaia of the revolutionary class druggie.

Tbe Communist Party shall eeeearage m even eats of the workers tn ths shops seeking to realise workers’ control of lndnstry, while Indicating their '.inltatlens under capitalism; concretely, any movement analogous to the Shop ■towards of England.

How much should I give to make this a better world?

A CERTAIN man in New York filled out his income tax report.

It showed an income so largo that his tax was 53%. A n d h is to ta l g ifts to c h u rc h and ch a ri t y f o r the y e a r w ere $148.Think of it—thousands spent for luxuries and pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world a little better than he found itl Most of us do better than that; but r.ot so very much better.Our average daily gift for all church causes is

— less than w e spend for daily papers

— leaa than a local telephone call

--less than a th ird o f the day ’s car fare

— less than 3 cents a day

No wonder that SOX of the ministers of America are paid less than $20 a week. No wonder that the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick people a year. No wonder that China has only one doctor for every 400,000 people. No wonder that every church board and charity society is forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat.I t isn ’t because w e are selfish ; it isn’t because w e

don 't w an t to he lp . It 's ju s t because no one has ever pu t

u p a great big program to us, an d asked us to th in k o f the

w ork of the church in a system atic businesslike w ay .

T he In terchurch W o r ld M ovem ent represents the un ited

program of th ir ty denom inations. T hey have surveyed

the ir w ho le task, no business co u ld have done it better.

T hey have budgeted the ir needs; n o business could have

^ a more scicntific budget. T he y have united to prevent the

possibility of w aste and dup lication . A t least a m illion dol

lars w ill be saved by the fact th a t th ir ty ind iv idua l cam

I t '8 a good tim e right now to answ er tha t question.

RAB-OOU. TESTER ISSIMPLE AND EFFICIENT

The rag-doD method t t tasting Individual ear* of corn Isoo* of tb * simple** and moat *«•- Doaiicml. and ta efficient aaya tbe United 8ta tes department ofagriculture.

Th* tester consists of a strip of doth, preferably bleached muslin, IS Inches wide and fro a three to live feet long. The d oth should be marked off Into square sectloos and the squares all numbered. The ears to be tested should also be given corresponding numbers. 8ix or more kernels sboold be selected from different part* of each car. aad placed ia tb * proper aee- doa.

Wben tbe tester If filled, (old •ver each aid* ao tbat tbe edges meet la the center, roll up, and aoak the tester for a few hoars ln lukewarm water. Drain off the ezcese w ater and place tha dolls ln a warm place for th* aeed to germinate. They should be covered w ith a wet doth to keep them m oU t and in about five days the seed ahould be sufficiently well germinated to show Its fitness fo r planting.

Farmers’ Bulletin M8, “ The Rag-DoU Seed Tester,” deacrlbea fully this method of testing seed corn. It may be obtained free from the departm ent

lesa productive than the other kernels on the ear; the thick rounded kernels from the butts are Just as productive as any of the rest, but because of their shape and sire they do not plant uniformly when used In a corn planter with other kernels.

Shelling by band takes mere dm * and labor, but Is profitable. The mechanical com shelter will Injure aome of the kernels, and thus destroy or reduce their power to grow and yield. No matter how large the required supply, says the departm ent It will still pay to shell It painstakingly by hand, because the greater the acreage t* be planted th * greater the ultimata profit

Each ear should be shelled separately Into a shallow pan or box. and any blemished, poorly developed, moldy or worm-eaten kernel should be rejected.

As the seed from each ear ts found satisfactory and sound, and free from poor kernel*. It Is poured Into the general supply and another ear ia shelled ln the same wajj. It Is much easier to pick out defective kernels from a thin layer ln a small sieve than from a large, mingled quantity ln a bushel measure or a bag.

LITTLE GIANT CO. a il RMk SWaat

CHAPTER XIX.—Continued.—■22—

“Ai soon as the baron asked me where De Ravenol was I saw the chance to get rid of him so he wouldn't b» pestering around any more. I said yes—I knew about where he was—on the train—he went to California In the morning—”

“California I" I gurgled. “On the train! Not for a mile! He’s downstairs ln this house, hiding—he was here when your baron came with a warrant to arrest him !” And punctuated with Billy's astonished exclamations, I poured out my own tale of woe and romance and wound up with monsieur's explanation—that lt was a plot of the French government to hold up the Mexican deal by keeping Claire’s father from going to Mexico and putting lt through.

"Don’t believe lt,” cried Billy. "Monsieur’s made a mistake—he didn't see the man. Why, old Follow-up admitted to me he was working for the Emperor William! De Ravenol’s got the wrong scent. But sny—we must see him right off and put him wise to this. Say—It’s awful tough—her father ln such a hole. It 'most looks as If we | ought te give him back the diamonds."

Before we could discuss lt and how to communicate with the gentleman himself, he appeared at the front door. He'd gotten out ln the basement, Instead of his own flat, because he’d heard voices and had taken his chances on slipping upstairs unobserved.

I hurried him ln, a chastened spirit, and Billy plunged into the recital of his Interview with Baron von Follow- up and the clever way he thought he had got rid of him by saying monsieur had gone to California.

I thought I had seen monsieur at the top notch of emotionalism already, but I was mistaken. He actually tore his hair—not a great deal, but enough to see.

My life ts ruin wis zis revelation,” he walled. “Wlsout to obtain zose diamonds Immediately—wlsout to be able to return zem to zeir owner when he sens for zem—I am lost. Mnn Dleu! I am regarded ze same as a robber.

“And how do I tell him zey get JostT —lt is my young beautiful daughter Claire who lets get lost zoze diamonds? God forbid I tell him zat.

“But how does he answer when I tell him ze truse? Does he say, ‘De Ravenol, I am sorry you lose zoze most precious diamonds, but accidents will happen and I know you are a good man?' ”

He paused for a bitter laugh and to wipe his face with his handkerchief.

Perhaps you sink he says zat. Non! He tells me—‘De Ravenol, I know you steal zose diamonds while you pretend zey are lost. Sings like zat don't come lost so easy as you snjr. So I punish you for a robber and see zat you gain nosslng from stealing my Jewels.'

Monsieur heaved a great sigh. “ZIs, morning, tf I have zoze diamonds, I am already on my way to Mexico, but now—’’

“Hide man, hide for a couple of days," urged Billy, trying to cheer him up. “We’ll help you. I think you ought to be down ln your den now— I’m afraid every minute that man may turn up here again.”

Later, I remembered the alacrity with which monsieur accepted the offer, assuring us fervently, “Only to hide saves me and my child from disgrace. I srow myself on your mercy —I trust you wis my honalre—wis what Is dearest to me—wis my life.”

Billy was deeply affected, I could see, and hurried monsieur off, returning In about half an hour to report, “All serene."

I fell asleep and was dreaming that the dome of the natlonul capitoi was toppling over on all of us, when I was awakened by the ringing of the front bell.

I saw by the dim light tt was early —too early for anything but a fresh calamity—and I hopped out of bed and ran tn the door.

"Who's there?" I called through. “Billy. Open flulck.”Billy tumbled In. “Claire's kittaap-

ed !” he shouted ln my face.I don't know whether I put my arras

around him, or he put his around me. Both, probably; but the next minute we were clinging together and his chest waa heaving with hard dry sobs. When I Anally got a coherent account out of him he told me that Claire had been a “little light-headed” through the evening.

"Then she's just wandered off In a half-delirious state,” I affirmed positively.

“She's kidnaped,” Billy affirmed more positively. "Old Follow-up has enticed her out on the pretext of finding her father, and now he’ll use her as bait to get hlin out. I^w n t decide whether to aee him and t« i him now, or wait.”

"Don’t tell him yet,” I advised promptly. "You're all upset and you think she's kidnaped—I know she Isn't —she's Just lost. She's wandering about the streets now looking for her father.”

I dressed. What could I do? Nothing but stay home and wait—as I had been doing all through. I was hardly

through my simple breakfast when George came up.

-Why. that gen'lem'n—the one sent the note you wouldn't see yestlddy— he say he got an appointment with you fer nine o'clock.”

The very man Billy believed had kidnaped Claire!

“Show him up," I Instructed with alacrity; and when he came I greeted him so affably he looked afraid to enter.

I almost flung the question at him— “Where Is Miss de Ravenol?"—before I thought, but saved tt Just In time. He sat down ln the chair I pushed forward ; I sat opposite. He seemed at a loss to begin; I said not one word.

He opened flre on me thus: “I feel I owe you an apology for my unceremonious call yesterday—”

I merely bowed in acknowledgment “I shouldn’t have Insisted, you know,

only we had traced the man to the house, and since he had called on you the evening before, it was a natural conclusion that he was calling on you then, also. They drove from their hotel to the Grand Central station, dismissed the carriage there and I have lost sight of their combined movement for about an hour."

“And you don’t know where the girl Is?” I asked, trembling n little and trying to control my voice.

“No—not yet. There is no chance of her hiding—or of her being hidden— for more than a few days—a few hours. No chance. Most nutural that she should have gone In search of her father. He has not left the city—I am positive on that score. It Is probable the girl has Joined him by a preconcerted plan—or was meaning to when she left the house. I'll And ber, I promise you!”

"And nothing is going to happen to her after you And her?"

“Happen to her! What could happen to her? I have nothing to do with her—my business Is to locate her father and arrange a matter with him— quietly, I hope."

"And will the emperor imprison him if the diplomatic matter Isn’t satisfactorily arranged?”

“The emperor? I'm sure I can’t say —I don't know anything about the emperor's diplomatic affairs."

‘‘Thep what are you after De Ravenol for?”

He reflected a few moments, and then with one of hts funnv looks, he remarked: “I’d rather have you for a friend than an enemy. It appears that De Ravenol carried off a million dollars' worth of diamonds In Parts the moment they were returned from the diamond cutter’s In Antwerp where he had induced the owner to send them for recutting.”

“Oh, never!” I ^claim ed, shocked, and at the same time appreciating how monsieur had foreseen this very accu satlon. “I can't believe he's a thief— It’s impossible."

“I don't wonder you doubt It,” he replied. "I did myself for a while— that's what gave him the start of me.1 And with that, off he went.

Poor monsieur! Accused of stealing the emperor's diamonds! And suddenly the words, "They wore stolen the moment they were returned from the diamond cutter's in Antwerp,"

“Van R oute 's most Important work o^ recent years was the cutting of a collection of seven diamonds, worth at a rough estimate live million francs, which an American millionaire purchased In Paris from an Indian rajah.”

De Ravenol stole the dtamonds from the millionaire and told Billy and me a pleasing yarn to account for hts possession. Of course he wouldn't dare mention when the diamonds were last cut I

mCHAPTER XX. )

He broke off and looked at Claire kindly and inquiringly. I took the hint n d asked:

“Will you promise me that tf I succeed In getting him to return the diamonds the case will be dropped?"

"Gladly. I have explicit Instructions on that head."

“Billy, you go after him—but don’t let him know what he’s wanted for.”

Five minutes later he and Billy were In the room. When nioncieur saw the Great Unknown he almost had a lit of hysterics; when Claire saw her father she did.

"Now, monsieur,” said I coolly, when he had done with his "Mon Dieus" and "What does zis mean?” and a few more exclamations, “we’ll help you out of your difficulties tf you’ll confess the truth. Did you steal those diamonds from the Pittsburgh gentleman?"

Monsieur clasped his hands and turned to me. “It was ze Impulse of a moment—ze temptation of a single Instant," he walled. “I have regret It every hour—I ara Justly punish for my slu. I take zem—I know not for wat —to make sport wis fate—and I sink to hide zoze Jewels, to bring zem to

flashed over me and Into perspective, and with them, the thing I tried all along to remember, and couldn't— monsieur’s slip when he told us tha legend of the dtamonds; he said they were cut ln Venice In the fifteenth century and they were cut In Antwerp In the twentieth I The most modern cut, and Van Routen cut them! I'd been trying to remember about Van Routen when I threw down the proof sheets of "Belgian Byways.”

I snatched the pages off the table and fingered them back and'forth and found at last an obscure Uttle passage:

All le Explained.The credit of Claire's discovery falls

flrst to her and second to me—she found herself a t my door late Ip the afternoon.

“Claire!” I cried, and at tbe same moment ahe cried, “Have they arrested papa?” and collapsed Into my arms.

“They haven't arrested him—he’s perfectly safe," I assured her. “Let me take ofT your coat and then I want you to lie down at once."

“No—I tnustn ; stop a minute—take me to papa.”

Listen to me, Claire," I expostulat ed a bit sternly. "I can’t take you to your father now—It Isn’t possible."

She obeyed like the sick child she was and then the bell rnng and there stood Billy and M:-s. Delarlo—Billy white and woebegone. Mrs. Delarlo white and distracted.

“She’s here,” I whispered, pointing ln the direction of the study.

Billy stood on no ceremony—he swept both of us aside and romped through the hall and I heard one glad cry, “Claire I” and found him on his kuees by the divan.

My only comment was a maiden- auntie smile that went over his head —or under his feet, perhaps, for he was ln too lofty a state at having found her to notice such trivial details as thnt he “found her" in my flat.

Later be drew me to one side while Claire and Mrs. Delarlo were bubbling together and told me: "Say—I think I’ve made Mrs. D. understand about those things—I simply had to—tt was getting too serious for everybody. But one funny thing—nothing I can say can shake her that our foreign friend is a thief—says she ‘sees’ lt too plainly and she can’t be mistaken."

“I'm afraid she’s right,” I whispered back. “The Great Unknown was here this morning—he says the diamonds belong to an American millionaire.”

Things were happening that day exactly like a story-book plot—before I could get out another word of explanation the bell rang and the Great Unknown came In ! I was too much astonished at having him pop up In answer to my speaking his name to keep him out, and he reached the room and saw the object of his search reclining on the divan with Mrs. Delarlo sitting beside her.

“Well—you’ve found yourself, I see,” he said pleasantly to Claire after nodding casually to Mrs. Delarlo and Bit ly. “I’ve been hunting you all day and now, If you'll be so good as to tell me where your father Is—I have business of great Importance to him."

“I don’t know where he Is!" Claire cried, and then appealing to me, she blurted out: “But you do. Oh, tell him and let him save papa.”

Tableau!The cat was out of the bag! Every'

body looked at everybody and tha Great Unknown anapped his eyes and said, “Ah!” staring very hard at me.

“An accomplice!” And he gave the word a horrid twist as he said lt, and I felt I was proving lt by my cheeks.

“Say—look here! Accomplice ln what?” Billy demanded fiercely.

Accomplice ln what? In the greatest diamond robbery of modern times,' he replied Imperturbably.

He sketched the story rupidly: An Impecunious Indian rajah visiting Paris owned the.stones and through De Ravenol, an Impecunious nobleman and ex-dlplomat who'd run through his own money and his wife's dowry, sold them to a Pittsburgh millionaire— name not mentioned—who Intended them as a gift worthy himself and a certain lady of the operatic stage. The stones were so badly cut that De Ravenol Induced his friend to send them to Antwerp for recutting by Van Routen. On the day of thelr return they mysteriously disappeared, as did also one of the rajah's retinue, who knew about the stones snd had himself taken them to Antwerp. Suspicion fell upAn him and tbe case was put Into the hands of the Oreat Unknown.

“It la true,” said Mrs. Delarlo earnestly, “every word of It. I see It—I hear It—I know It. We must give back tbe diamonds at once."

Her “we" gave us away completely! I saw the detective's eyes Jump, but he said susvely, "I shall be thankful for your co-operation In recovering the stones—psrtlcularly If we csn keep tbe mstter quiet. You see, there Is the wife lu Pittsburgh—"

"I'm sorry--very sorry to hear that. It Isn't right,'' Mra. Delario Interrupt-

America—dispose of zem in Pittsburgh where nosslng dares be said about zem because of ze wife. I am In one little Instant tempted and I yield and lose everyslng. Mon Dleu."

I asked the detective: “Are you safr Isfled if he returns the diamonds now?”

"Certainty. It’s all I ask.”I motioned to Billy and pointed to

ward my table? “Under that sheet of paper," said I.

Billy produced the blue box and placed lt In monsieur's hand.

“Mon Dleu!” he ejaculated. “But, madame, you have give me your word of honatre zat you do not And sese dla monds tn your slipper y.ou carry off!’

"She didn’t! I found them," cried Mrs. Delarlo. “And when you cused me of robbing Claire I hadn' the least idea you referred to these stones and, anyway, I had already given them to my friend to keep for me—I didn’t have them ln the house the day you searched.”

"And I kept them,” I remarked, wltb a bitter smile. “It's all I've been doing for the last ten days."

He handed the diamonds to the Great Unknown. Silence fell on all of us foi a moment, In which Claire lifted het tear-stained face from my shoulder, her eyes encountering an ardent gaze.

“Ob, Mr. Rivers," she cried, In an swer to It. “You've been so good to dear papa !'*

Billy! Mrs. Delarlo and I had near ly killed ourselves and Billy got th< only thanks that were worth any thing I—not that we grudged him tbi gratitude, considering; but then, yoa know! Well, snch Is life! She and I looked at each other and I winked. She winked back, and we never let out so much as half a smile. But two deat young things were happy, so we let 11 go at tbat.

The names of the Pittsburgh millionaire and his surreptitious lady were never revealed to me, nor did tha detective ever tell us his; and though I learned who he was, he wished to be known as "the Unknown" and to myself, I always called him "tbe Great Unknown.”

The diamonds were returued and the case hushed up for the sake of all concerned; and now, but one little reverberation of It lingers In my life: young Mrs. Rivers permits me alone In the whole world to call her husband “Billy” without protest; lo everybody else, even to his mother-in-law, he Is William—William 8hakespeare Rivers, a rising young dramatist with what looks like a real future before him. All thanks to me, of course; and when I remind him of It as a delicate hint for appreciation he warmly acknowledges, "Yes, I owe all to you tbat I don’t owe to Claire.”

ANOTHER ALBATR088 STORY.

“Ah,” satd Mr. Alec Albatross, “It Is all right for you to leave because

lt means you're c o m i n g b a c k again. When you go forth te the great aea to look for food, even If you stay quite a little while, I know that you are coming back again.

Ah, and the last time you were going off, how proud I was aa I saw you start. I watched you from the nest a<i you stepped beyond and over the hllUlde where you ran down the side of the hill so fast and then wtth the speed you bad made you arose up Into the air.

“They have new things, or more or less new, called airplanes, and we’re known as monoplanes. They say we are beautiful flyers and magnificent In our flights. I certainly believed It to he true when I watched you the last time.

“Ah, what a lovely life Is that of an albatross, a sweet life of nesting and caring for the little ones and flying high over the ocean.”

“Swimming Is fun, too,” said Mr. Alec Albstross. “I'd be so wretched If I couldn't swim ln the beautiful, clear ocean. •

"When I get In the water I stay for a while, too, partly because I enjoy It and partly because tt Is hard work to get right up and fly from the ocean, for we are not small sea birds. We must rest flrst

“We can catch squids, or sea food, of enormous size and we are gtiod ones to hunt. We love the wild sea and we're great restless birds who know the Joys of traveling.

“Some of the pelicans and sea gulls, who were talking one day, told ua that at summer resorts and winter resorts folks all wore best dresses and every-day dresses and best hata and every-day hats.

“Fancy an albatross bothering about such things. Of course, we are fond of our plumage and we take eare to make tt look well, but we aren’t always going around following fashions and wasting time changing our garb.

“That would be such a nuisance. Why, we wouldn’t have half the time to make the nest so perfect to take lovely naps and rest our heads on our own soft bsck pillows. Wo wouldn’t be able to travel and see the world, or the ocean, as we do.”

“Of course,” said Mrs. Alee Alba tross, “we mightn’t have to do all these things If we went to summer resorts or winter resorts, aa tbe birds don’t fuss all the time Nke th a t hut In any case. I wouldn't like I t In a summer resort, where would I flnd delicious squids? I mightn't flnd them.

W h a t Shall We Do For Our Children

Oklahoma. Okla. April 14 ’Bol to n >11 over the state comes th t distressing news that super- htendents, principals and teach* t e n in great numbers will at ths end of the present school year, quit teaching proffession to enter employment paying a aa'ar” sufficient to maintain a position of respectability; and this is even more alarming when w« consider that there is now a gnat shortage of teachers in the atetein rural districts and in :n- dependent districts wher? salaries are prooortionately bw.

As the rural districts are be- ipg affected most, nnny farm- cn are moving to town where their ch'ldren may have the benefit of good schools.

Th is will in no way affect the present local right to levy taxes for school purposes, but a it will provide approximately fifteen dollars for each child of school age in the state, i t will materially reduce the •mount necessary t\> be levied locally and at the same time insure a sufficiency of fund:) to maintain schools 'in every district in the slate.

As all men and women of seri- o js thought agree that education is not altogether a local question, but that the state should guarantee to every boy and girl within its boundries the opportunity to receive an education, and even requi-.' that the opportunity be taken for the public gafety. Th is measure should receive the support of communities of all classes and condition?.The cities will be served by keeping the farmers on the farms, and they can be kept there only by providing good schools for tlu>ir children. Good schools require good teachers and good teachers •re now justly demanding a th ing salary. I f we can and will pay it our schools will continue and grow better. If we can not pay it, demoralization of the schools is inevitable and our children must bear the hurt.

Throught the stute copies of an initiative petition asking for an electicn on the proposed amendment have been distributed by the Oklahoma Education Association, tho state teacheis’ organization of 11,300 members.The week of April W-24 has boen set aside as Initiative Week during which these petitions wi>l be circulated.

Fellowcitizen, you c an not afford to miss the opportunity to sign one of these petitions and thus help the children of Oklahoma. I f such petition is not circulated in your neighborhood, write for one nnd circulate it yourself and thuR do a service for the cause of education. The question comes face to face to all of us, “ What W ill We Do For Our Children?”

Every officer of the Government with a war message to deliver appealed to the ministers first of all.

But 80% of the ministers receive less income than government economists figure as a minimum for the support of an average family.

When hospitals need money they enlist the support of the ministers—and receive it.

But when sickness visits the minister or the members of his family they must be treated in a charity ward. His pay is less than a day laborer’s.

8 out of every 10 ministers receive less than $20 a week—about half the pay of a mechanic.

U n ity W e ll W a iting on M ateria l

M r. Arthur Chapman, general manager of the Unity Oil Co., returned Wednesday from Tulsa, where he had been to hasten the shipment of material to be used in deepninj? the Unity well at Alex.

Just as soon as the material ar> reves he says they will b? ready to start drilling to 3,500 feet if necessary, but i t is the opinion of oil men that the pay sand will be fouad this side of 3,500 feet.

They are now experiencing at Duncan, on the south of us, what we may expect here when the Unity well comes in. Reports from Duncan show that leases are now selling as high as $5,000 dollars per acre. There are a number of wells now on the sand which are expected to be brou-ht in within the next ten days or two weeks and should they bs -re expected a marked advance in lease value will follow. They have been a long time opening he Duncan field. Drilling started there before it did here and by keeping at it and digging in they have opened what promises to b> one of the big oil fields in the state. With Duncan so near we see .’o reason

th" same may not occur

To The Public

The time has arrived which makes it necessary to either candle the eggs we buy, or to reduce the price in order to allow for the rotten eggs that warm weather causes. Heretofore we have had to mak,1 this deduction in price, as we were not fixed to candle eggs, which is unfair to the producer who took g-iod care of his eggs. I t would be a big undertaking and a heavy expense for all of us to attempt to candle so we have made arrangements with C. H. Mar»h & Co. to candle all of the eggs brought to Alex. Th is will mean larger profit on your eggs this summer. Mr. Marsh is known to practically everyone and we know that you will get top market prict for your eggs at all times. He will give you a check for your produce which is Payable in Cash at Any Store in Alex.

Th is is an improvement that Alex has needed for some time and we feel that we are boosting for both the farmer and Alex in making this arrangement. So take your eggs to C. H. Marsh & Co. and remember thnt their check ia payable in Cash or trade at our store. We cordial ly invite your patronage

MILLION TOJtEPAY INDIANSHalf of Eastern Counties Affected By

Tax Decrease.

Oklahoma City.—The suits of approximately 20,000 Indians, amounting to about »7BO.OOO, are affected by tbe ruling of the I'nlted States supreme court, which held that Indians of the five civilised tribes with suits pending for the return of taxes paid during four years from 1908 through 1911 are entitled to the return of the money which they paid, according to George R. Uroadwell, Oklahoma City bond dealer. More than half of the counties in the eastern section of the state bave suits in district court for tbe return of the money.

Broadwell is plaintiff on behalf of tbe Indians in their claims against the counties for the return of the money. Broadwell said, In discussing the various phases of the litigation, which has lasted nearly eight yeara, that Indians who have not already filed claim for the taxes will be unable to do so, due to the statute of limitations.

Following the settlement of Oklahoma territory by white men the Indians were granted land, mostly In the

tern part of the state, whlcb was untaxable, according to the treaties. In 1906. after the passing of the Curtis act freeing Indians of less than half blood from restrictions on their actions and permitting them to tranaact their own business and handle their property, the state decided that the land waa taxable. The taxes were paid by the Indians for four years.

It waa then decided tbat the territory waa untaxable and Indians proceeded to file claims against various oountles for the amount paid In taxes, which ranged from a few dollars to aa much aa >2,000 in the various cases.

Tbe money which will be paid by the oountles to the Indians will be in

By FRANK COMERFORD.

The history of Russia begins with a legend. Nestor of Kiev, an old monkish chronicler, tells the story. Kiev is the mother of Russian cities. In the ninth century Slavs and Finns lived ln i tribal state In the forest region near l,ake Ilmen, between Lake Ladoga and the upper water* of the Dnieper river. Bands of military adventurers from the land of Rus, which I* supposed to have been a part of Sweden, exacted tribute from the tribes. In the year WO the tribe* threw off the yoke of the Norsemen and drove them out of the country. It was Ru isla’s first revolution, so the old chronicler relates, ind It was successful. Freed from the tyranny of the tribute takers the tribes began to quarrel among themselves, Their land was larg« and fertile, but civil war destroyed order. Then as oow, order wai the first essential to pence and happiness. It ts told that ifter three year* of tribal war they confessed their Inability to manage fhelr own affa'.rs and they sent a rnls- «lon to Rus to invite their old masters to come and rule over them.

According to the legend, three broth' era, princes of Rus, Rurik, Sineus and Truvor, accepted the call and founded

dynasty, from which many of the Russian princes of the present day claim descent.

While much discussion has heen provoked as to the Identity of the warriors from the land of Rus, the found ers of the Russian empire. It Is gen erally believed that they were the hardy Norsemen, who ln the ninth cen tury roamed through various countries of Europe. These roving band* In vaded and conquered territory and lived as the dominant military caste until they were gradually absorbed by the native population.

Novgorod First Capital.Prince Rurik built hi* capital on the

banks of the River Volkhov, which with Lake Ilmen formed part of the great waterway connecting the Baltic and Black seas. By tbls route, the tall, blonde Norsemen, who composed the famous Varangian bodyguard of the Byzantine emperors, traveled from Scandinavia to Constantinople. Rus sla's flrst capital waa Novgorod.

These new rulers from the land of Rus brought with them the spirit of adventure of the Norsemen. They were not contented to rule the tribes who had invited them, They set out to conquer the surrounding country all directions, and before two hundred years had passed they had Invaded Byzantine territory, established themselves at Kiev, threatened Constant! nople with a fleet, secured as a consort for Vladimir I, one of their princes, a sister of the Byzantine emperor, adopted Christianity for themselves and their subjects, learned to hold ln check the nomadic hordes of the steppe, and formed matrimonial alliances with the reigning families of Poland, Hungary, Norway and France. They became a great power in eastern

They had great appetite for con- 1 quest, but they lacked the power to organize the territory they conquer'd. The political future of the new stste was destroyed when the princes of th* Rurik dynasty divided the state into a number of independent principalities. For a time these were weakly and loosely held together by the patriarchal authority of the senior member of the family, the grand prince, who ruled In Kiev. Family quarrels became frequent. These prince* were strong men. They wanted power. They ■trove to enlarge their territories at the expense of their rivals. The traditional authority of the grand prince declined. Yaroslav the Great waa the last of the grand princes. With his death In 1054. family feuds multiplied

! and disintegration set In. During the I next 170 years, from 1054 to 1224,| Russia was split Into over sixty prin

cipalities. Disputes over the question of *uccesslon led to elghty-three civil wars.

Ruined by Internal Struggle. During these interminable struggles

of rival princes. Kiev, which had been so long the residence of the grand prince, was repeatedly taken by storm, and ruthlessly pillaged. Finally the whole valley of the Dnieper fell a prey to the marching tribes of the steppe. Thereupon Russian colonization and political Influence retreated northward. and from that time the continuous stream of Russian history is to be sought ln the land where the Vikings flrat settled, and In the adjoining basin of the upper Volga. Here new principalities were founded, some of them having a grand prince, who no longer professed allegiance to Kiev. Thu* appeared the grand princes of Ktizdnl. of Tver, of Ryazan and ef Moscow—all Irreconcilable rivals with little or no f«*:Jn|fr of blood relationship. The more ambitious and powerful among th e * aspired not to suc

ceed, but t» subdue the other* ana take poasesslon of their territory, and the armed retainers, who were wont formerly to w*nder about a* free lances, gave up their roving modo of life, settled down permanently, became landed proprietors and sought to share as boyar* tbe princes’ authority.

The greatest of these principalities was Novgorod. Since the days when Rurik had flrst chosen It as his headquarters the little capital on the Volkhov had grown Into a great commercial city and brought under subjection

vast expanse of territory, stretching from th6 shores of the Baltic to the Ural mountains. Dnllke the other Hussinn principalities It had a democratic, rather than a monarchal form of government. The republic of Novgorod was the flrst and only flicker of freedom ln the long night of Russia, and it glowed but for a short moment.

Novgorod had a prince, but he was engaged by formal contract. He was merely the commander of the troops.All the political power remained In the hands of the civil officials. They had

popular assembly which was called together In the market place as occasion required, by the tolling of the great bell. The maxim of the state was: "If the prince is bad. Into the mud with him.”

In Moscow a different state of affairs obtained. There the supreme law was the will and whim of an autocrat Democratic Novgorod and autocratic Moscow became bitter rivals. The future of Russia was In balance. The question wns light or darkness, day or night, freedom or slavery for the future Russians. Had Novgorod won out In the thirteenth century we might not have the problem of bolshevism In Russia today. But It was to be otherwise, and with the success of Moscow, autocracy wa* enthroned. The Russian night came on.

Tatar Irruption.Then came the Tatar yoke. The

“Golden Horde” conquered Russia. The conquerors built their capital a t Sari on the lower Volga. The Mongols pillaged and robbed. Tax gatherers kept the people’s backs bent in toll. The flrst trail to Siberia was blazed, the cruel road that wa* to play auch an important part in the horror* of Russian history. Oddly enough the flrst wayfarers who journeyed on thi* road were Russian autocrats, the degenerate and corrupt descendants of Rurik. The grand khan, the chief of the Mongol empire, lived wjth th* "Great Horde" in the valley of the Amur ln Siberia. Russian princes were puppets In the eyes of this autocrat of autocrats. He commanded them to appear before him. Before making the perilous trip the prince made his last will and testament and gave direction for the guidance of his children. Few ever came back. The road to Siberia then, as later, was a Journey Into the shadow of death. Some died on the trip, others found execution the reception at its end. The few who returned escaped the wrath of the great khan by sycophancy and bribery.

The princes of Moscow were the most willing and pliant tools of the great khan. They outraged and robbed their own subjects to satisfy the Mongol court. Muscovy grew strong under the Mongol empire. The betrayal of the Russians was the price. This is the taint In the blood of the czardom of Muscovy; out of this line the czar* came. When the Russian princes became strong enough they turned on the Mongol empire. It was weakening. At the battle of Kullkovo. 1380, the Mongol yoke was broken.

Three czars, Ivan III, known aa th* Great, his son Baall, and hi* grandson Ivan IV. called Ivan the Terrible whose united reigns cover a period of one hundred and twenty-two years, 1462 to 1584, forged and flxed the shackle* on the people of Russia, shackles which clanked until the execution of the last Romanoff, Nicholas. It was Ivan HI who snuffed out the last spark of liberty in Russia, the democracy of Novgorod. Ivan IV finished the Job; popular assemblies were abolished, freedom of conscience was killed. The complete doom of the Russian people began.(Copyright, UM. Wtrt.rn N.wipapar Unl.a)

O. A. Gassoway of Rush Spring** has been appointed assistant county superintendant by A. F . Allen the new appointed county superintendent.J> Ten per cent off on on ladies’

to be placed upon their tickets. B u t when only a child, she determined to come to Indian territory and found a school in which both Indian and white children should have equal opportunities. She determined to conduct that sc1 ool for 30 years, if she lived that long. When statehood came she then planned that if she should continue the school and make a success of i t for th irty jears, she would then ask the voters of Grady county to entrust to her supervision the execution of these1 ool laws.

Another reason for her coming before the people at this time is that Mr. Bond, “ Uncle Jimmie,” had urged her a long time prior to his death, to take this step. And when she last saw him, when even the shadow of death was stealing upon him, almost his last words to her were to urge her to move for county superintendent. and to move now Therefore, in the spirit of that wonderful man. that man with a vision Grady county’s greatest philanthropist, Meta Chestnut Sager stands before you to ask your consideration as county superintendent.

Following are some of the reasons why she asks the consideration of the voters of Grady county: She is an Eighty-Niner; a North Carolinian by birth, de cended from the old Planter stock of the Old State. She received her elementary education in the district schools of the state Most of her elementary training and all of her high school and Academic work wa* done u der college women and university graduate men. She was appointed on class record by the board of education of North Corolina to take a teacher training course and was sent by the state to thi University of Nashville and Pea- bo ly Normal college (now Geo. Peabody College for Teachers) of Nashville, Tenn. (Prior to going to Na«hville she had taught several terms in the district schools of her native st te. That experience gave her an early insight into rural school problems.) Slit* was gia uated from that institution and won the distinction of being offered a free scholarship to a still higher college, which, unfortunately, she could ro t accept, having already contracted to teach the year following at Greenville Institute, where she had been a student just before receiving the state appointment. No contract had been signed, but a promise had been made and it was kept.

Mrs. Sager holds two diplomas, one a full diploma of a state normal college, the other that of master of arts These diplomas bear the names of such men as Govenor Robt. L . Taylor of Tennessee, and D r. W. H. Payne who forty yean ago held the chair of languages in Ann Arbor University, and was at that time president of Peabody Normal Col'ege and chancellor of the University of Natfhville.

contract for the educatic n of a number of its wards.

Stu ents of E l Meta Bond are found not only all over the state of Oklahoma, but also in many other states, a^d they follow many different lines of activity. Besides, they are ever where loyal ^erican citizens. More than a hundred of her sons carried Old Grory into the ver teeth of the enemy in the World War.

Meta Chsnutt Sager w asthe first a vocate in the state of Ok lahomafo’ domestic science manual training and elementary agriculture in the public schools. She was selected by the United Strtes Supervisor of Schools in Territoria l davs to prepare and read a paper on that subject before tne Teachers’ association which met at Marietta and Chick nsha. The present state superintendent w il1 recollect the great opposition expressed to such training in the meeting atChick- ashs in those early days of e u cational thought.

The first mo ey for schools for bo h Indian and white children alike appropriated by the congress o " the United States for Indian Te rrito ry was largely the re suit of the efforts of Meta Chestnut Sager. She was in Washington several times in the interest of school matters for Indian Te rritory, and at one time spent th irty - ays. All these trips were at her own personal expense. She did not get the Indian nor ths white man to pay her e-pen- ses, but when she thought she could do s o m e t h i n g for the children who had little or no opportunities for an education she got up and went. I t was through ihe kindness of Hon. C arles Curtis, Commissioner Jones, and with a ‘‘God speed” from even Sec,Hitchcock and "Uncle Joe” Cannon, togeth er with the influence of many others, that a bill was put thro that gave excess to federal aid f r rural schools for both Indian and wh'te children. I t was not a sum of millions, to be sure,but i t was aleak in the dyke that has never been closed, but continues to bless the generations that come.

Mrs. Sager has not onlv had the necessary training in reputable schools to fit her for the office which she asks of the voters of Grady county, but she is prepared by travel and by experience in governing, and it has been her good fortune to come into person al contact with many of the different phases of educational thot in America. S vehas no promises to make but to. know the laws which the people shall make, and to execute them, as far as in her lies, and to do so righter usly and fearlessly. She will take into hes duties a ripe experience of years of school management and will

To The Public

The time has arrived which makes it necessary to either candle the eggs we buy1, or to reduce the price in ‘ order to allow for the rotten eggs that warm weather causes. Heretofore we have had to mak.> this deduction in price, as we were not fixed to candle eggs, whi?h is unfair to the producer who took g >od care of his eggs. I t would be a big undertaking and a heavy expense for all of us to attempt to candle so we have made arrangements with C. H. Marsh & Co. to candle all of the eggs brought to Alex. Th is will mean larger profit on your eggs this summer. Mr. Marsh is known to practically everyone and we know that you will get top ma> ket prict for your eggs at all times. He will give you a check for your produce which is Payable in Cash at Any Store in Alex.

Th is is an improvement that Alex has needed for some time and we feel that we are boosting fo»- both the farmer and Alex in making this arrangement. So take your eggs to C. H. Marsh & Co. and remember that their check is payable in Cash or trade at our store. We cordially invite your patronage

Natural Desire of Peasants to Psrtl- oipste In Ownership of Soil

They Till le Root ef the Revolution.

Article XVII

By FRANK COMERPORD.

ln talking wltb people about Russia,1 have discovered tbat most people ln America have only a faint, uncertain, vague Idea of the country. Czar Nicholes, the last of the self-proclaimed autocrats, was monarch of 8,660,000 square miles, one-sixth of the entire land surface of tbe earth. The great R ussIsd empire is spread over part of two continent*, Europe and Asia. It is almost entirely confined to the cold and temperate sones.

Three seas bound lt on the north— White, Barents and Kara of the a rctic; the seas of Bering, Okhotsh and Japan of the northern Pacific bound It on the east. Tbe Baltic sea, the gulfs of Bothnia and Finland limit lt on the northwest; two sinuous lines of land front separate l t respectively from Sweden and Norway on the northwest, •nd from Prussia, Austria and Rou- raanla on the w est On the south and east the frontier has changed frequently, according to the expansion and contraction of the empire under the pressure of political exigency and expediency. The Black sea is the principal demarcating feature on the south of European Russia. On the west side of that sea the south frontier touches the Danube for some 120 miles; on the east side of the same sea It zigzags from the Black sea to the Caspian, utilizing the river Aras for part of the distance. As the Caspian Is virtually a Russian sea, Persia may be ssld to form the next link in the southern boundary of the Russian empire, followed by Afghanistan. On the Pamirs, Russia has slnco 1886 been coterminous with British India, but the boundary then swings away north round Chinese Turkestan, aud the north side of Mongolia, and since 1905 It has skirted the north of Manchuria, being separated from it by the river Amur.

The total length of the frontier line of the Russian empire by land is 2.800 mile* tn Europe and nearly 10,- 000 miles ln Asls, and by sea, over11.000 miles in Europe and between10.000 and 20,000 miles In Asia—a frontier of 68,000 miles.

Empire’s Vast Population.The population of the empire, ac

cording to the 1915 census, was estimated at 182,182,600. According to the same census this population was distributed as follows: In European Russia, 181,706,800; ln Poland, 12,128,000; In Caucasus. 18,125,000; in Siberia, 12,- 887,600; In the central Aslan provinces, 11.12A.000; Finland, &126.000.

Over 80 per cent of the people of Russia are peasants. The Isnd is their problem. It means home to them— work, life. Their one dream has been to own the land. Land ownership Is their definition of freedom, tbeir Idea of Sappiness.

The Russlsn peasant bas been ■ stranger ln his own country. The man who tills the soil snd lives on the land and yet never owns an acre of It Is a foreigner, even though his forbears may hsve been native to the country for centuries. The Russians have felt th is; they are simple, home- loving people. From the conversations I have hail wltb Russians of the peas- snt class I believe thst they hsve suffered more because they never had a chance to own their own homes, their own farms, than from ths denial to them of political freedom. The land question Is a heart question, a hearth question to them.

Crime in Land Distribution.Some Idea of tbe land crime In Rus-

•Is Is told In the stsrtllng figures showing the sctual distribution of arable land, forests and meadows in European Russia. The following table Is only ont> count In the Indictment:

to 42 acrea. Therefor* tb * peasants were compelled to rent land from the landlords a t fabulous prices. Tbe aggregate value ot tbe redemption and land taxes often reached 185 to 260 per cent of the normal value of the allotment; not to speak of the taxes for recruiting, the churches, roads and local administration, chiefly levied from the peasants. The peasants bave sunk deeper Into debt every year. The scheme was a qulckssnd—the harder they worked and struggled the deeper Into debt they fell. Increasing arrears have driven one-fifth of the Inhabitants from their bouses. Every year more than half tbe adult males (tn some districts three-quarters of tbe men and one-third of the women) are forced to quit tbeir homes and wander throughout Russls in search of work. In tbe governments of the black earth region the state of matters Is hardly better.

The phrase "class distinction” was more than rhctoric ln Russia—It waa part of the chains, lt handcuffed destiny, bolted tbe door of opportunity. The great mass of the people, 81.6 per cent peasants; 1.0 per cent made up the nobility; 9 per cent the clergy; 9.8 per cent the burghers and merchants; 6.1 per cent the military ; thus 147,000,000 of tbe Russians were peasants.

The slavery In Russia consecrated by law ln 1609 was partly abolished In 1861. The Act only pretended to liberate the serfs. Even under the best landlords conditions continued to be terrible. Household servants or dependents sttached to the personal service of their masters were re> leased. They Joined the town p r* le tarlat The peasants were given aV lotments of arable land. These al lotments were not glveq to the Individuals, they were given over to tbe rural commune called the Mir, whlcb was made responsible as a whole for the payment of allotments. It was a sort of land communism, except that tho title did not pass even to the Mlrs. The enormous charge against the land made them tenant serfs. The Mir was a mortgaged community. The redemption charge was not calculated on the value of the land, but was considered as payment for the loss of th * compulsory labor of the serfs. Th* enslavement of the peasant was recognized in the Act which pretended emancipation.

Peasants Systematically Cheated.Many proprietors of land saw to lt

that the allotments did not give the peasants the needed pasture lands around their homes. This craftily calculated Bcheme compelled the peasants to rent pasture land from the landlords s t any price. Tbe landlords held them up.

It was only as late as 1904 that the landlord wns forbidden by law to Indict corporal punishment on fhe peasa n t Even tbls law was winked at and the practice of treating human slaves as brutes treat tired domestic animals, continued. The peasant was a chattel and the cheapest farm fixture. There were plenty of peasants. Notwithstanding the barbaric life In Russia, the population continued to grow.

The peasants’ only participation ln government was ln the assembly called tbe Mir. With Us quaint customs, lt Is of Immemorial antiquity. The assembly of the Mir consisted of all the peasant householders of theVll- lage. These elected a head roan and collector of local taxes. I t was the nearest Russian peasants ever got to freedom. It was the clearing house for the troubles, a socialism of sorrows, a touch of local self government which gave no rights; lt simply provided a means of co-operating ln burden bearing.(Cepyrlskt, 1110, W ssurn Newspaper Union)

The Campaign Is On

Alex is seriously handicapped in growth and development because of a shortage of homes.

Many families are living in cramped quarters or are hunting a place to live,

We cannot hope to attract additional families to Alex unless we can provide comfortable housing.

Every patriotic citizen should lend his efforts to this campaign to build more homes. If you are a renter, build a home of your own. If you own a vacant lot improve it with a house for rent or for sale.

Our modern home plans will help you to decide. %

Mrs. Crawford picked up her sewing ind threw It down again in disgust Her wrath was not unjustified. She ■lurveyed her surroundings with profound Indignation. The furniture teemed a kind of symbol of the dreary nonotony of life. It expressed so -learly the relentless decay of youth >nd hope.

Tbe rocker ln which she sat, with ail ‘he defects of antiquity save Ita rharm, was a summary of her married life. It had been Intended for mere lemporary use: It had been their pleas- mt conviction that in a year or two ;hey would replace It with '^inething letter—something thnt one ? ! uld live with always. But Alfred's affluence had proved always juat over the ridge 'if attainment.

She then went over again the bills in her desk. Once n month for 20 years she had straggled over these bills, buoyed up with n placid faith, i hat “next month" there would be something left over. But that next month never cnint.

It was not the everlasting proximity to poverty which made Mra. Crawford's eyes grow dim as she sat ‘n the fast darkening room reviewing her life. She had not married Alfred for money. She lintl loved him. He was a sober, steady, quiet, generous little man, with an unfailing good disposition, whom anyone must love.

Nevertheless, she could not quell an unruly sense of resentment If only Alfred would be different occasionally.

She shook her head helplessly. There was no use. The glowing fabric of hope had faded, as doubtless It must for everyone.

Her mind flashed back over the to the perfumed summer eve- when she waited at the gate In

ie twilight eagerly awaiting Alfred In his neat, dark suit and prodigiously ilgh collar, swinging his stick smart

ly. It was usually dark when he arrived—with no regrets for that. They had not been married then, of course.

She thought of her wedding. She had made her bridal gown herself. Their honeymoon hnd been spent at it little summer resort only a few miles from her home by trolley. She smiled to think of those few days and how I .quickly they had slipped away. I

Reluctantly, her thoughts came ; •>ack to the bleak present Alfred would be coming ln presently. Then he would sny: “Hello, dear,” make ; nome formal Inquiry as to her occu- ! patlon during the day and sometimes al«>ut the children. After supper he would submerge himself In the rocker and go to sleep. Sometimes he would kiss ber or permit himself to be kissed.

Thus the days had ended for more years than she could remember.

Just at this stage of thinking she ■leard voices on the porch outside where she was sitting. Evelyn, the oldest of her girls nnd most like herself, was there with her young man. Her eyes clouded wistfully. Evelyn \yas adorable and bo young!

Hearing Alfred coming up the front Hteps, she went to greet him.

“Supper Is ready," she snld, for nt of something else to say.

•’Let the children eat I t ” he replied briefly; “we are going out tonight.”

“Out?" she repented, amazed. “Yep,” he smiled mysteriously.

“Hurry up, dear; get dressed.”She turned aod faced him.“Alfred Crawford I Whatever are

The announcement of the entrnnce tf the American Library Association Upon the “Books for Everybody" movement and still later news accounts of the activities of the organisation along diese lines resulted ln a widespread ippeal from residents of the rural districts of the country for books on farming. Whether the American farmer Is limply evidencing his ambition to do i good job better or whether the better :rops of his neighbor, who has attended an agricultural college or school, has ipurred him on is a matter difficult to letermlne. Bnt the fact remains the tanner is asking for books. The great majority of American farmers are either without libraries and book service or they are Inadequately served.

One of the points which the American Library Association In Its “Books for Everybody” movement Is strongly urging Is the extension of the county library systdm In stutes where enabling acts have been passed—some twenty- ine ln number—and tlie proper leglala- ;ion ln others wlileli have not yet tak- n the step. The system, with Its cen

tral library and rndlutliiK lines to stations in the remotest sections of the icounty, assures good books to every loan, woman and child who cares to beach out a hand and grasp one.

Hospitnl library service maintained by the American Library Association during the wnr was credited with great value ln aiding In tlie recovery of many sick and disubled men.

There ure still In our hospitals more than 10,000 former service men. Of these nearly 8,000 are In Public Henltb Service hospitals, tlie remainder In civilian hospitals. Books, irmgazlnes and newspupers are sent to these men from the American Library Association. In the larger hospitals, containing over 300 paUents, special librarians are placed. To the smaller hospitals, through the co-operation of many public libraries, library visitors are sent to visit the wards once or twice a week and learn the book needs of the patients.

A special effort Is made to supply tn ex-service men in hospitals the books In demand ns a result of the training given h.v the Federal Board for Voca tional Education.

More Books for Blind.Tlie A. L. A., In co-operation with

other agencies already Interested in work for the blind, Is printing books In the new Ilrallle type. Because of the newness of the revised Braille adopted for teaching to tlie American war blind, literature printed In It h limited to fewer than -00 books. Though tho total number of blinded soldiers Is small, tlielr need of books Is great, und the “muglc of print” can do much to restore hope and usefulness to them.

Not only for former service men who are sick or disabled Is the association working. Tlie vnlue of books proved so great to men in cnmps that efforts are still being mnde to connect discharged soldiers nnd sailors with libraries wherever they may be. Hundreds of letters hnve reached A. L. A. headquarters from former service men telling of the lack of library facilities In particular localities to which thoae men have returned.

Direct 8ervl«* Provided.In many cases there Is a stnte libra

ry commission or a nearby library to which a man cun be referred for the books he needs, but If there la no such organization through which he can be served, books for ulmest any serloui purpose mny be borrowed directly from the A. L. A. War Service, 24 West Thirty-ninth street, New York city. The only expense In connection with these loans Is prepayment of return postage on books borrowed.

The A. L. A, has published Hats of books to help ex-service men who arc atudylng to advance themaelve* In ♦heir work. “Five Hundred Business Books." “On* Thousand Technical Books'* and reading course* on practical subjects ara now In preparation.

Other Work Being Den*.

Other branchea of work which th* A. L. A. War Service Is carrying on Include service to the Merchant Marine, Coast Guard and lighthouses, service to Industrial communities which ar* resultant from th* war, service to United Statea forcea oversea*. This work la carried on with money received from the United War Work fanda, tha aa*

Farm boys and girls in Oklahoma have opportunity to compete for the $76 prize awarded by Armour and Company to the Champion Pig Grower of the state. Th is prize will take the form of a trip to the Interna tional Live Stock Exposition held in Chicago thi* coming December, and will rcquipe the actual taking of the trip by the winner, in other words, the boy or girl winning the prize does not get the money unless he takes the trip to Chicago.

CHAPTER III.—Continued.

“You're not Insane. Nobody said you were. But for • while you’ve got to act lnsnne. It’a your only hope, and I’m pretty sure you’re equal to

£ th e acting. If you plend crazy—and act und talk and look crazy (It’ll be easy for you)—It’s more than likely you’ll get ofT lightly. It’* your only chance Absolutely the only one. I'm not saying If’s a fat one or a soft one. I only say It's your only one. Good day I”

e e e e e e eThe case occupied little time. The

prisoner was adjudged Insane und committed to the Dunning insane asylum until declared cured. Two stalw art officers, neither of whom was as

.muscular as he, escorted him to tha street.

• e • e e • •Upon Fltzhugh's arrival at Dun

ning he was taken to the superintendent’s office, and there, questioned about his family, gave the same fictitious replies that had satisfied the police. Next he was examined by a physician. It was the second time he had enacted the part of a lunatic, and lils personation must have been done with some success, for his "disease" 'was diagnosed, and he was classified and assigned to a ward. After the •customary routine of bathing and donning the regulation garb he had leisure to sit down and plan his «scape. This seemed so ridiculously simple that he almost regretted there need be nothing spectacular about lt, th a t there was no necessity for over-

•werlng a guard or breaking bars, or •r any other kind of heroics.While entering the grounds he had

kept his eyes open, with the result that he had a rough menUl picture of Dunning’s topography, and after the first night he was positive he would be free before the dawn of another day.

He lay awake until broad daylight, hoping the next night would be a cloudy one, listening to the unearthly Hounds that came at intervals from the violent wards—and thinking, thinking. He thought mostly of the future, and the more he thought of It the more wide awake he became. Sleep was out of the question.

Before noon that day came Esther. She had brought him a basket of edibles, and as site placed lt on a table beside him he detected ln her manner a disquieting suggestion of constraint. But her first words were commonplace enough.

“How are you?” she asked.“Oh, about as well as I look, I sup

pose.”“I never saw you looking better,”

she admiringly observed.“You must remember you haven’t

seen me very often,” he reminded her. "‘Let me see—Is It twenty or twenty- flve days since we flrst saw each other?" He laughed and started to remove the napkin from the basket of food.

With a quick movement her hand flashed out and seized, his. She glanced swiftly around.

“Don’t open It till you’re sure nobody’s looking.”

He was not slow to surmise that a file or some such instrument was concealed ln the basket, and though he

(could scarcely repress a smile at the

Iuunecesslty, he replaced the napkin .and said quite soberly: “All right. I’ll take care.”

,! “When do you expect to escape?” 5she Asked, speaking ln a cautious

.whisper.“Tonight, If it’s dark."

.nd you’ll come to me? You’ll let ie hide you?” She searched his face

eagerly.He did not answer at once. During the long, wakeful hours last night, Vhen he had renewed his gloriou* castl* building, this woman had not figured in tbe dreams. As she noted

Ills hesitation the unreasoning Jealousy which she had been striving to keep in check the past flve mluutes broke forth In a furiously blind torrent.

“Never m ind!" she biased. ‘‘Don’t come! I know you care nothing for me. You ungrateful—"

“W alt! Let me explain—"“Don’t speak to me I I hate you.

I shouldn't have come. I hate you I" Her voice had risen louder and

louder as her Jealousy-inflamed passion mastered her prudence.

“Will you be quiet?" demanded Fltzhugh, his own voice none too gentle. “Of course I'm coming to you. Where else should I go? I was only wondering how soon It would be."

“Why did you smile at that girl?" she rushed on, heedless of Ills promise. "Why did she shield you In court? Wliat Is she to you?”

He wondered what this woman would be were her Jealousy given serious provocation, and shook his head hopelessly.

"She's nothing to me,” he said, willing to do anything for the sake of peace. “I don’t know why she testified that way. Don’t ask me. You're 8till living in the same place, uren't you, Esther? If you are—and nothing goes wrong—I’ll be there tomorrow morning before breakfast.”

The earnestness and sincerity with which he said this seemed to reussure her. Besides she was beginning to regret her outburst and was glad to be quieted. When niter a while she left him there was In her heart only a trace of doubt and a deep humiliation. She wns burning with shame for having bared her most unlovely side to the eyes of the man she loved.

In a secluded comer Fltzhugh opened the lunch and beneath the chicken sandwiches and chocolate cake he

“You've Got to Act Insane."

found a heavy file and a coll of rope. He managed to conceal them In his coat without detection.

When he retired lt bade fair to be a clear night, but before one o'clock the moon was obscui*ed by clouds, and the muttering of distant thunder heralded a storm. Although he hud not slept for the last forty hours he had successfully battled the temptation to close hts eyes and was therefore awake when the first shadow crossed the moon. He bustled into his clothes, stuck the file Into a pocket, buttoned the rope under hts coat and felt his way through the Inky blackness to a western window. H e slipped his legs over the sill, gripped It with both hands and lowered himself Into the black pit yawning ominously below.

He landed safely, and guided by the forked streaks of lightning and accompanied by the rumble and crash of giant thunder chorda, he struck olt across the prairie through the drlvln* rain, made a detour and turned his face toward Chicago.

CHAPTER IV.

Esther Strom lived In one of those three-story, palnted-brlck buildings, fallen upon evil lodging house times, which look as though they never were new. For three dollars a week Esther rented a basement room, with light housekeeping privileges, the window of which came level with the pavement. To reach this room with greater facility one descended two crumbling stone steps, passed under the wooden stairway, and—if one were a person ut average height—stooped to enter a misfit door found there. Ai the sun rose on the morning following Fltzhugh's escape from the asylum lt found Esther standing outside that misfit door. She had been there, Intermittently, since dawn.

Suddenly Fltzhugh turned the corner. His appearance was not prepossessing. His bat was gone, as was his collar. His hair was tousled and matted, his face covered with a dark

growth oi dm iJ ; M i inoe i and tro*-

lers ware caked with' mud, and as ha carried his coat under his artu bl* shirt waa seen to b* little mora than a rag which clung to him damply.

For two days and nights he had not known sleep, and ln the past flva hours he had tramped three times k* uiuuy miles. Only a roustltutlon of Keel could have stood up under this, but Fltshugh had one. As he turned the comer and swung down the strcvt with vigorous strides he seamed fur from exhaustion.

The moment the wotnan saw him all the love and pity and tenderness of her emotional nature welled up In her bosom, and with a little low cry of "My boy I"—more m aterial than amorous—she ran to meet him. He took her outstretched hands, and holding them wide apart smiled at the anxiety ln her face.

"Am I on time? I was delayed a little at the •tart.”

“And you walked all the way I” hhe exclaimed pityingly.

"No. I ran part of the way—tha flrst part.” He thought of his empty pockcts. “I couldn't very well ride," he ended dryly.

“I'm sorry 1 I should have given you—"

His smile vanished. “No, you shouldn’t," he Interrupted.

“You must be ready to drop. Your breakfast has been waiting for an hour, for I expected you earlier, and I know you're starving.”

In her basement room — which, though cheaply furnished, was spotlessly clean—she bade him sit down while she warmed over his breakfast (tn the coal-oll stove. When he had finished the meal to the last drop and crumb he sat back In his straight-burk chair and felt through his coat pockets. His quest finished, he stared ruefully at the moist lump of tobacco In his palm. She sprang up, ran to a cupbourd, and in a second wns hack with a package of smoking tobacco and a book of cigarette papers.

“I thought of It last night,” she said simply. "I knew you would want to smoke.”

He rolled and lighted a cigarette, took a heavy Inhnlatlon and sent the smoke swirling celllngward. Then, lowering his head, he looked steadily from beneath his thick, Jet-black brows at tl\e starry-eyed woman sitting opposite him. He felt no love for her, but a gratitude too deep for words tugged at his heart. He began to be uncomfortable.

She walked to the sink with the stack of dishes, deposited them and returned to where he was standing.

“I—I told the landlady,” she faltered without looking at him, “that I— that you wel-e my brother.”

“No great Jiarm In that, I hope. Besides there Is a W t of family resemblance. And I certainly have a most Commendable brotherly love for you."

She became silent. Her dark- skinned hands relaxed; her shoulders drooped. After a few dumb moments she turned away and opened a door leading lnt<> a dark hall. “Wonld you like to go to your room now?” Her voice sounded spiritless. “I'll show you the way.”

He followed her down the subterranean passage to a narrow stulrway at the rear, up which they climbed four flights. His room was at the rear of the top floor. There was but one window, which gave upon an alley and commanded a flne view of a brick wnll. He raised lt and leaning out found the cornice of the house was less than six feet above the sill.

“I may need that some time,” he remarked, turning back to Esther. “I'll get the lay of the roof tonight."

She had apparently forgotten her depression, for she was all tenderness now and, apologizing for the bareness of his abode, she left the room.

After locking the door Fltzhugh stripped to the skin, hung his damp garments out of the window ln the hope that a chance ray of sunshine might discover them and curled up on the bed, which was never Intended for a man of his stature. In less than three minutes he .was slumbering soundly.

• e e • e e •It was dusk when he awoke. Feel

ing greatly refreshed, lie put on his clothes, which were almost dry, and walked downstairs, where he was greeted by Esther.

“It must be pretty late,” he re- mnrked.

“It's nearly nine.”“Ninel Why, I have had ten hours'

sleep I"“But you hadn't slept for two

nights.”“It’s a larger dose than I’ve taken

In years. I almost never sleep more than five hours out of the twenty-four. I feel as though I’m wasting time If I do. I know that’s an astonishing statement for a tramp to make, but there’s so much In Jlfe, even for a tramp—”

“Please don’t say tb a t You are not a tramp, and I don't like to hear you say you are."

“Don't you want to know who I nm?” he asked, suddenly; very earnest. She shook her head. “No—at least not until you wish to tell me. It doesn’t matter to me what you are, or what you have been. Look at It the other way aboht; how much do you know of me? You know I am a radical, you have probably surmised I ara of foreign parentage, and that Is all. I think I shall tell you something about myself, for I can see you want to know.”

I t pay* to add a few frill* when making a home, writes Edward Irving Farrington, lu the Philadelphia Ledger. This fact was Illustrated when a certain man owning a small suburban property found It necesaary to make a quick sale.

They had been growing for only a few yeitrK, to be sure, but they had become ao well established that all appearance of newness had dla» appeared. Now, thi* man was abl* to obtain for his property 25 per cent more than a neighbor who had a costlier house, but who had neglected Its externnl embellishment. Moreover, he sold his property several months before his neighbor could flnd a pur. chaser.

Now, of course, the average man will not plant grounds for the prime purpose of making his place salable. It m ust be admitted, ln passing, though, that real-estate men the country over are beginning to learn that they can get a much larger price for their new houses If they plant tha grounds before offering them for *al& From this point of view of the house owner, however, the free use of trees and shrubs I* desirable In two way*. It adds greatly to hi* enjoyment and comfort and to that of his agreeable knowledge that these same trees and shrubs are rapidly growing Into money. If he ha* any doubt upon the latv ter point he has only to put up a “For Sale” sign on his front gate. It Is always the house which ha* been given an Inviting, homelike appearance that catches the eyes of a prospective buyer.

SEARCHLIGHT PARTY.

"All np and down a big river," said Daddy, “searchlights were pluylng froai the different boats. They were being played on the city houses and upon each other and upon the shore*.

"A boat went along which was to take a long trip up the river and upon that boat there too was a searchlight. As the boat with the searchlight went along there went too the Searchlight Gnome. I will have to tell you about him as I am sure you have never heard about him before. The Searchlight Gnome la a little creature belonging to the Gnome family who love* light* and aearchllghtr above everything. He wears such a dazzllngly bright *ult that people cannot recognize him and so he goes everywhere where there aro searchlights without being seen.

If they do see him they do not know him because he Is so much like the light of the searchlight. Well, In bis little air boat he hnd been flying from one of the boats which had a searchlight upon It thla evening to one of the other boats and then to still another.

From one searchlight to another had he gone and such a good time as he had had! He had leen so many things from the different searchlights.

He had seen different houses, different ships, different carriages and automobiles driving along the road which edged the river which was a flne city driveway and he had thought the life of tho d ty looked very thrilling under the bright searchlight.

“But when he had heard that this special boat was making Its trip up along the river, past towns and far up

WASHINGTON. — According to a statement by Mrs. H. O. Klein-

sorger, In charge of the women's department oJ the Continental and Commercial bank of Chicago, the evolution of woman from a clinging vine to a financial giantess Is progressing rapidly, and within a few generations woman will take her stand with the men financiers.

Bank depoaita, according l« reports, show women proportionately are saving more money than men. In the last four years the number of depositors as well as the amount of savings haa doubled, they show.

“Twice as many women are saving money today aa before the war," said

“He had taken the trip before, but not nearly often enough. He was such a busy little gnome and there were so many searchlights and searchlight parties he wanted to go on that he hadn't half the time he wanted to have for all the things he wanted to do.

“ ‘You know,’ he said, ‘I cannot understand how lt 1* when people say they wish the time would fly and that they wish the time would pass and all thnt sort of thing.

“ ‘I simply cannot understand. Why I never have half enough time. I'm never trying to kill time either. That’* a dreadful thing to do.

“ ‘Of course I know It Is merely an expression meaning that folks want to do something to make the time pass In a hurry because they want something else nnd more exciting to turn up.

“ 'I can see how folks are anxious to hnve great days come like Christmas and so forth, but I don't Just see how any one can say they want the time to pass quickly Just becauaa they’re tired of things.

“He saw people along the shore* and he saw beautiful scenery of fields and mountains and little hills and lovely trees. After awhile he heard some voices. ‘Well,’ he said, ‘if here aren't all my searchlight gnome relatives. Are you coming on the searchlight party ?’

“ ‘Indeed, we are,’ they said, ‘if you do not mind.’

“ ‘I am so glad,’ said the Searchlight Gnome, ‘to have others enjoy these beautiful sights with me. Oh, aren’t searchlights the most wonderful things? They're like great secrets of beauty being shown to us.• “ 'Where lt Is dark and where otherwise we couldn't see the searchlight lets u* see all the beauty that would otherwise be hidden there I’

O pposition to K la m a th L ake R e c lam a tio n

A BILL In congress Introduced by Itaker of California and providing

for the drainage of the Klamath Lake region In California and Oregon with a view to soldier settlement has stirred up a three-slded controversy. The agricultural department experts say these lake bottoms and marshes would become simply alkali flats, unfit for cultivation. The former Klamath was cut off from Its water supply and largely dried up last summer. The agricultural department soil experts say the dried-out land Is too alkali for farming purposes. The government reclamation service undertook to drain a large area here several years ago and abandoned the project as Impracticable after an expenditure of *283,225. Tho United States biological Burvey says that forage for live stock In the marshy lands Is all that the region will yield.

In the current number of the natural history magazine. Dr. E. W. Nelson, chief of the biological survey, presents arguments for the preservation of the region as one of the most notable migratory bird preserve! In the United States.

Containing a great area of swampy land with a shallow-water lake ln the middle, the Klamath Lake reservation forms an Ideal home for myriads of migratory wild fowl, such as duck*,

• j

geese, grebes and pelicans, during the nesting seasou and tbe sprlug and fall migrations.

Dr. Nelson charge* the land promoters of the vicinity of Klamath take wtth endeavoring to secure the abolition of the reservation ln private lnterrjta, and declares that such protected spots are becoming so few that now the destruction of each one becomes Irreparable. This I* especially true of auch a large and notable area as Klamath lake.

And the whole situation appears to him more critical In view of the fact that Malheur lake, ly ta r In tbe desert country of southeastern Oregon and believed to be the greatest bre«dlng place for wild fowl ln the United Statea, la also menaced with annihilation at the hands of tbe drainage enthusiasts.

"Save the birds,” Is hi* plea.

THE formation of a plan for the development of the entire basin

of the Colorado river a t a cost of more than $100,000,000 wa* the principal business of the recent annual convention of the League of the Southwest, held at Los Angeles. The governor* of eight southwestern states—California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevnda, Utah, Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas —participated, together with the heads of d ty and county governments In these state* and representatives of civic, patriotic, educational, Industrial and commercial organizations.

There Is a bill (H. R. 12537) pending In eongres* which provides for nn examination and report on the condition and possible irrigation of the Imperial valley In California.

The Imperial valley 1* an example

of what the land* of the Colorado basin can do under Irrigation. Tha total production of the valley even now under Irrigation exceeded In value $50,- 000,000 In 1918. The population lt» 1010 was, In round numbers, 18,000, and In 1010 exceeded 60,000. Tha value of the production In 1910 wa* $5,000,000, and In 1010, exceeded $50,- 000,000. These result* tell their own story and magniry the dreams of those who 18 years ago conceived thi* wonderful Improvement and the reclamation of an arid waste which today embraces wonderful farm*, beautiful modem cities, and a happy, aggressive, progressive, energetic, prosperous people who enjoy a production of farm products not only unsurpassed but unequaled anywhere.

The cost of the project I* not prohibitive, It Is stated. Its threefold benefits of added acres In cultivation, electric energy and freedom from flood menace are worth many times more than the coat, the experts estimate.

There are several hundred thousand acre* of government land which could be used for soldier settlement.

At present the water for Irrigation flow* through Mexican soil—a condition of constant danger ln view of tha strained relation*.

Senate Favors G rea te r C rater L ake P a rk

GREATER Crater Lake National

park Is likely soon to be a reality. Tbe bill (S.2797) has been passed

by the senate. It I* now before the public lands committee of the house. If there Is opposition to the measure, It has given no sign. Crater Lake National park now contain* 249 square miles In the shape of a rectangle, about 18 by 14 miles. The addition contains 145 square miles, practically all of which lies to the north.

In making the drcu lt of Crater lake over tbe wonderful Rim Road, completed last season, the visitor catches many views of this Diamond lake region to the north and sees that nature Intended It to be a part of the park. Tbe still more comprehensive views from Sun Notch and Crater peak, reached only by trails, confirm this proposition.

Diamond lake Is a feature of the addition. It lies at an elevation of 5,- 200 feet, Is about 5 by 3 miles, Is comparatively shallow, affords good bathing and le an Ideal camping ground. Mount Thlelsen (0,178) rises to the east of the lake and Mount Bailey (8,356) to the west. In the northeast comer of the addition Is Howlock mountain (8,351). The scenery Is attractive and the fishing good.

The area to be added Is properly part of the park and will add greatly to Its symmetrical development. A road connecting Diamond lake with the Rim road around Crater lake Is a natural development. The enlargement Is needed because of the big game, which now frequently strays beyond tba boundaries.

The enlargement will also give the park a north entrance, which Is needed. With the development by tho state and county authorities of tha road trom a point south of Crescent on the Central Oregon highway, east of the Cascades, a new entrance to Crater Lake National park would be developed. This would be very useful to the people of Oregon, and particularly to tourists coming to tha park via the Dalle* and Bend.

Stacy Out For County Att’y

I n announc ing his candidacy

for C o un ty attorney , W m . S ta

cy today issued the follow ing

statem ent:

“ I was appoin ted county a t

torney on September 1st, 1019.

I have endeavored to discharge

m y fu ll d u ty w itho u t fear or fa

vor and if elected for another

term w ill do the same, I believe

th a t a ll laws on the statute books

were p u t there by the people to

be enforced. In the dischorge

of m y duties I disregard all d i

p lom acy. A ll men look a like to

me. They are so before the l«w

aad i t is the du ty o f a county a t

torney to enforce the law. I will

not hesitate to prosecute any of

fender, where the evidence pre

sented to me warrants it, regard

less of his social s tanding or re

ligious pretensions and on the

other hand I w ill prosecute no

one, no m atte r how poor or

friendless, to gra tify the malice

er spite of any m an . I have co

operated w ith every departm ent

of the state government in the

enforcement of law. Have pros

ecured every com p la in t of the

S tate Labor Comm issioner for

v io la tion of the eight-hour day

and other labor laws. Have pros

ecuted every com p la in t of school

boards for the v io la tion of the

compulsory school law, w ith tho

result th a t school attendance in

th is county through the term

jus t closin'', has been m uch bet

ter than ever before. H ave pro

tected the business interests of

the county by prom ptly prose

cuting all cases of forgery, bogus

checks and removal of mortgag'

ed property .

D u ring the eight months th a t

I have been county attorney I

have prosecuted and convicted

54 men for gam bling , collecting

for fines and costs $3,458,20.

This is a greater num ber of con

v ictions for th is crime than were

m ade ia the county during the

entire four years proceeding my

term of office, .besides during

th is tim e there has been less

gam bling than ever before.

O f course tbe sheriff and po

lice force are entitled to the cred

i t for m ak ing the arrests, b u t it

is a great incentative to the offl

road to hell by the extract and

pa te n t medicine route, w ill be

m ade to feel th a t they them

selves are trave ling a road of the

same nam e apd tem perature.

A fter a ll, ti.e most im po rtan t

pa rt of a coun ty attorney 's d u

ties, so fa»- as the tax-pay era are

concerned, is look irg after the

c iv il business. E ver since I

came in to the county a 'to rney ’s

office as assistant I have given

special a tten tion to th is branch

of the business. A ll claims

against th e county for tax re

funds, services, etc., th a t the

law requires the coun ty attorney

to pass on have been strictly

scrutinized by me and m any

thousand dollars have been sav

ed to the tax payers. D uring

the past three years I have had

persona] charge of a ll the civil

l itig a tion in which the county

has been interested and have

won m any suits for the county

invo lv ing m any thousand dollars.

A t the present tim e there are

pend ing , in the various courts,

suits against the county I volv-

ing in the aggrigate $250,000.

In 1918 M r . J . D . B ryan, coun

ty assessor, and myself made a

close study of the assessing m eth

ods th a t had been followed in

G rady county since statehood

and found that several of the

largest corporations, as we con

strued the law, were not carry

ing the ir ju s t p-oportlon of the

pub lic burdens under the system

of taxation in vogue. The result

o f our efforts along th is line can

best be illustrated by citing the*

case of tw o of the largest corpo

rations.

In 1917 one of these corpora

tions rendered $60,000 personal

property for taxation and pa id a

tax of $1,600. Under the new

system th is corporation was on

the rolls for each of the years

1818 and 1919 for $637,980 per

sonal va luation and for each of

these years it paid to the county

treasurer $19,000 in taxed. The

other corporation was on the tax

rolls for 1917 for $280,000 per

sonal taxation and paid $9,000 in

taxes. Under the new system

th is corporation was on the tax

rolls for each of the years 1918

1919 for $2,387,245 personal

va lua tion and for each of these

years pa id the coun ty treasurer

$71,000 in taxes. These taxes

have not yet been paid in to

the coun ty treasury, bu t were

pa id to the coun ty treasurer

and are held by h im pend ing the

outcome of litigation now before

the supreme court of the s ta te .

In th is litiga tion these cor

porations adm it th a t we followed

the law as laid down in the s ta t

utes bu t contend tha t t'ie statute

is unconstitu tiona l.

Being a lawyer I w ill not a n ti

c ipate the decision of the su-

contend for the princ ip le th a t all

corporations as well as in d iv id

uals pay the ir ja s t share of tax-

Alex is seriously handicapped in growth

and development because of a shortage of

homes.

Many families are living in cramped quar

ters or are hunting a place to live,

We cannot hope to attract additional famil

ies to Alex unless we can provide comfortable

housing.

Every patriotic citizen should lend his eff

orts to this campaign to build more homes. If

you are a renter, build a home of your own. If

you own a vacant lot improve it with a house

for rent or for sale.

Our modern home plans will help you to

decide.

ACUTE INDIGESTION S 0 0 l[ RELIEVED

Arkansas Lady Says She W as In a Serious Condition, But Promptly Recovered After

Taking Thedford’s Black-Draught.

Peach Orchard, Ark.—Mrs. E tta

Cox, of this place, says: "Some time

ag» I had a spell of acute Indigestion,

and waa la a bad Ox. I knew I must

have a laxative, and tried Black-

Draught. It relieved me, and I aooa

was all right.

“I can’t say enough for Thedford’s

Black-Draught, and the great good

It did for me.

“It Is flne for stomach and liver

trouble, and I keep It for this. A few

doses soon make me feel as good as

new. I am glad to tell others the good It did."

Acute Indigestion Is a serious matter and needs prompt treatment o r'd an gerous results may ensue. A physician’s help may be needed, but a good dose of Thedford’s Black-Draught will be of benefit by relieving the system from the undigested food which Is the cause of the trouble.

Thedford’B Black Draught Is purely vegetable, not disagreeable to take and acts In a prompt and natural way.

So many thousands of persons have been benefited by the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught, you should have ao hesitancy In trying this valuable, old well established remedy, for most liver and stomach disorders.

She fell strangely silent; and when she spoke he thought her voice sounded hard, unnatural. “I see. A disguise. How stupid of me not to think of it. That means, of course"—she picked up tlie shaving mug and appeared to be Interested In Its contour —"that means you will be leaving here."

He wns In a quandary. He knew not how to answer. Deep down In his heart he knew he was going to leave ber, was going to shut her out of his life. He had decided that again last night when drawing up his plans. But lie could not tell her so now—not while she stood there questioning him. with such accusation, such bitter reproach.

“You will, won’t you?" she demanded, her face reddening.

He chose the path of least resistance. He took the shaving mug from her hands, replaced It on the table, and put his arms around her and kissed her on the lips. It was probably the most prudent answer he could have made; and when, upon her repeating her question, less Insistently, he said. “Don’t think about unpleasant things,” she promised to try, and lighted the oil stove and busied herself with breakfast preparations; and ns she went about her worlc she hummed to herself almost happily.

"I'll get them all.” she promised soothingly. “It’s only a few cents," she sdded as she went otft.

When she returned, bearing a tray of food and a bundle of newspapers, Fitzhugh had made his toilet and looked a little mote presentable—or, rather, a little less unkempt.

He threw aside the more conservative Journals, which announced his escape In staid oaragraphs, and read first those suljron-coloml ones, which told the news with huge black type against pink and green backgrounds. The first one shrieked at him:

MANIAC ESCAPES! OVERPOWERS GUARD AND FLEES

IN STORM!

He smiled and turned to the next one. Then he started and sat up very straight. Lavishly smeared over the damp front puge, smelling of printer's iuk, this Is what he saw :

M A D M A N M IS S IN G !11.000 FOR CAPTURE!

SYMINGTON OTIS OFFERS REWARD I!

He read It agnln and again, enjoying the notoriety to the full. He had come into the limelight.

When Esther knocked at his room next morning about eight, Fitzhugh had been up an hour.

"Come to my room as soon as you’re dressed; I’ve a surprise for you.”

He listened until he could no longer hear her footsteps on the unenrpeted ■fairs, then opened the door and found, just without, a parcel. Opening It, he disclosed a complement of underwear socks, shirt, collar and tie. There was also a cap. Again he experienced an uncomfortable feeling of gratitude and shame for accepting, perforce, much from a woman. In a closet at the end of the hall he had unearthed an old wooden clothe*-tub. He filled It at the hydrant, carried it to his room, and stripped and enjoyed a cold hath. Then, arrayed In hi* new haberdashery, he went to bis benefactress.

“You have three guesses," she cried gnyly. holding her hands behind her, her face radiant. She fumbled with what the held behind her. shifting It to one hand, reached up. playfully tweaked his unshaven ch“»ek and rubbed her palm against its stubby grain. “Now can you guess?"

He nodded, smiling “You've bought me a shaving outfit," he aald soberly. “I’m sorry. I'm not going to shave.

“Symington Otla Offer* Reward!” Ha Read It Again and Again, Enjoying the Notoriety to th* Full.

In Russia—She poverty, the misery, the millions cowed by tyranny. They nre groping In the darkness. They need light. They must be taught that all workingmen are their comrades, all the rich their foes. They must be taught to strike back when they are struck—"

“See here, Esther!" Fltzhugh's clenched fist struck the table a ringing blow. His quiet demeanor had radically changed. “I've something I want to tell you. Henceforth my brain, my energy, every particle of me will work toward but one end—Mu tf rial Sui-ceaa. Money means Power and Power Is my goal. I've known all along I could reach It. 1 shall have to he cold, heartless, selfish. There's no other way. The poor!—pooh ! What are the poor hut beasts of burden to pack nnd carry for tbelr masters, who are the rich slid Intelligent."

As he tnl!;tJ I'r.tber crouched back In her chair, cringing from him as though each word he spoke was a whip lash across her face.

“Naturally, you hadn't thought of me," she murmured, when he paused.

"On the contrary," he said, and there wns a hidden mennlng in his words, which, keen as she was, escaped her, “you are tbe person ot whom I’m thinking most Just now."

A glad light sprang l;i" her eyes. “Then you are going to take me up with you I With your money—you see, I take It for granted you will become wealthy—how much we could do for the underclasses!”

He tossed away his cigarette, took a swallow of coffee, put down his cup abruptly. "I’ll do the square thing by you—remember that. Perhapa money cannot compensate you for all you have done for me—I doubt very much If It can—but tf It can. Eather, I shall repay you a hundredfold.”

She sprang ip . Her brief gladness had fled. Her faee was very white.

"Then you sre going to throw me over!” she biased at him. “I thought so!"

"Have I ever shown any wild desire for your company?" he asked icily. He also was standing. His face was white, too. “In our short friendship has it not always been you who took) the Initiative?"

“But the flrst time we met you had no money, no place to sleep."

His brow dsrkened. “I thought I was going to have trouble with you. But never mind. I'll settle in full my account with you, and we'll quit even.”

A furious torrent of words rushed to her tongue, but before she could loos* it something occurred which, even In that tempestuous moment, dammed its flow. A shadow obliterated the sunlight, and she turned In time to see what cast It. A second later a peremptory knocking rattled the street door. '

"Go to your room and lock yourself In!" she ordered, and pushed hln* before her toward the hall door. "It's Nikolay—the big Russian you met at SmuUkt’s. He mustn't flnd yon here. He's ready to kill you, almost. Do hurry! Run all the way to your room' and lock the door."

He tarried no longer. Yet the excitement of the moment did not ban ish his diplomacy, for he pressed her hand and kissed her before going. After his departure she composed herself at the breakfast table. The battering at the door swelled louder with every second.

Fitzhugh gone, Esther unbarred tha door and admitted her visitor.

“Come In Nikolay," she invited.He entered, glowering, and sat tn

the chair Fitzhugh had vacated.“Why did you keep me waiting?” he

asked sullenly.“Because," she replied evenly, “I

was trying to decide whether or not I wanted to .see you.”

"And did you decide?"She lifted one shoulder, with elo

quent indifTerence. and stirred her coffee. “I had to let you In. Another minute, and you would have torn the house down."

He turned his massive head this way and that, sniffing the air very audibly. “I take It you care more for your friend who rolls his own cigarettes." He opened a box of Russians and lighted one.

She did not apeak, and he went on: “You've taken quite a fancy to this

young spellbinder, haven't you?”If you mean the boy who left just

a* you came—he's my brother.”Nikolay threw back his head, and

gave a loud, mirthless laugh. “Brother I What a liar!”

She caught her breath sharply and sat very erect, a crimson spot burn* Ing vividly In either dark cheek. Her bosom rose and fell stormlly.

'Be careful what you say to me. she warned him ; but the anger In her low voice seemed only to fan hla Jealousy to a fiercer flame.

He ground his teeth as he frowned at her, and the great hairy hand lying on his knee opened and closed. “You will equivocate, won't you? A* If you could hoodwink me for one Instant! Don't try it, you Esther. You know well enough why I loath this—thi

"Randolph Fitz," she supplied swiftly. So he did not know Fltzhugh's real name. That was good.

“You know well enough, I say. It'* becnuse you love him."

He jumped up. kicked his chair out of the way, and began pacing the floor savagely.

“You can’t be serious, Nikolay!” She made a brave effort at gayety. " I care for him? Surely you are Jesting.” Sha tilted back her chair, as he stopped and towered over her, and smiled up at him coquettlshly.

"Why will you torture me so?” he cried, holding out his great arms to her. "Can’t you see how I love you? Don't you know I’ve loved you for years? And this Fltz!"—he spat the word out—“this vagabond of a Fit*! You've known him but a few weeks, yet you’re— Surely you cannot lore him! Tell me that you don’t. Tell me—tell me, Esther, that you love only m e!"

The woman knew how to act. She hesitated, smiled up at him demurely; then, breathing to herself the name of the man she loved, she ri>se, and, with her eyes closed tightly, held up her lips to the man she despised.

Some while later Nikolay took his departure.

By FRANK COMERFORO.Less than 10 per-cent of the people

of Russia "permanently" live In cities or towns. I write the word “permanently" to call attention to tbe fact that a number of peasants and villagers come to the cl ties and towns to work for a part of the year In the Industries. They retain their peasant status and their domiciles in the villages. In 1910 there were only forty cities In the Russian empire with a population o f from 80,000 to 100,000; only four cities with a population of over 100,000.

Poverty forced upon the Russian people the co-operative spirit. In a great, long strain people can stand up together better than alone. It Is the Idea of consolation In companionship.It Is a principle of mass psychology that a group of men will dare to do a thing, to stand a suffering or a danger that no Individual In the crowd would undertake alone. The Russians have suffered from the dawn ot history, and one of the oldest Institutions of Russian life Is the Artel. The Artel very much resembles the co-operative society of western Europe, with this difference, that the co-operative society In Europe and America Is the outgrowth of an economic trend. In Russia It was the unpremeditated result of necessity. It ts the difference between one who Is hungry because he Is dieting and one wbo Is starving because he Is without food.

The workers of Russia have suffered the same slavery the peasants have endured. The maximum wage has been a starvation pay. So when the working men from a province come to a city to work In the textile Industries or as carpenters, masons, etc., they at once unite In groups of from ten to fifty persons, rent a house, keep a common table, elect an elder of the Artel, to whom each one pays his share of the expense. All over Russia one finds the Artel—tn the cltiea.In tbe lumber camps, even In the prisons. When a building Is to be put up an Artel Is organized. When a railroad Is being built an Artel la formed.In some Instances the Artel resembles a labor union, In that the arrangement of the terms of employment Is made by a delegate or committee appointed by the Artel.

Live in Squalor and Misery.Village life Is primitive. The vil

lagers live out of the world. The villages are very small, particularly In the extreme north. The houses are generally cheap wooden shanties. Ow- lug to the great danger of flre, the villages generally cover a large area of ground. The houses are scattered and straggling. The conveniences found even In the Amerleaf tenements are unknown. There Is no chance for cleanliness. They live and sleep In crowded, smoky, unfinished houses. Furniture—they haven’t what we call furniture, even what the poorest farm tenant ln America would call furnishings. A board for a table, a shakedown for a bed.

Russia s Industrial life has always been out of balance with her agrloul tural life. Notwithstanding her riches of raw material and her great possl bllltles for a successful Industrial life, Russia has continued to be a nation with 81 per cent farmers, 7 or 8 per oent permanently engaged In Industry, and 3 or 4 per cent of peasants who devoted psrt of the time to work In the Industries. It has been said repeatedly that the Imperial Russian government from the time of Peter the Oreat has been unceasing In Its efforts for the creation and development of home manufactures. All of the evidence I have examined refutes this statement. There never has been any neoiirity to the worker In Russia. The only protection he has had has been his Interest In the family allotment. He could go back there and be hungry; In the city starvation was the danger.

Tbe czars put every obstacle In the way of education and of course this prevented the growth of Industry.

In 1002 the principal Industries In Russia, representing all of the factories throughout the empire, of which the annual production was valued at more than *1,000, were textile*, food products, animal products, wood, paper, chemical products, ceramics, mining. metal goods, miscellaneous, and all of these employed only 2.250,773 workers.

Led Up to Bolshevik Problem.This dwarfed, stunted, paralysed

side of Russia—Us Industrial side— has a direct bearing upon conditions In Russia today and Is an Important part of the problem of the bolshevik government.

A nation to be economically normal muat have balanced agricultural, manufacturing and commercial sides. If these three departments of activity are not proportionately developed the nation 1* economically • cripple. RttS- 4 a has been and Is la thla senae aa

economic cripple. B ar body la grsat and powerful; tha physical constitution Is strong. One arm, agriculture.Is overdeveloped, and It* overdevelopment has been at the sacrifice of the other arm. Russia, economically. In one physical respect, reminds me of Wilhelm Hohenzollern, late of Prussia, now living In Holland. I refer to his withered, undeveloped baby arm. Russia's undeveloped Industrial arm is Just such a crippled, useless arm. Reference to the ex-emperor, who la now sawing wood In Holland, suggests to my mind the words of a great German economist, List:

"A nation cannot promote and further Its civilization, Its prosperity and Its social progress equally aa well by exchanging agricultural products for manufactured goods as by establishing a manufacturing power of its own. A merely agricultural nation can never develop to any extent a home or a foreign commerce, with Inland means ot transport and foreign navigation, Increase Ita population In due proportion to their wellbeing, or make notable progress in Its moral. Intellectual, social and political development;It will never acquire Important political power or be placed In a position to Influence the cultivation and progress of less advanced nations and to form colonies of Its own. A mere agricultural state ts Infinitely less powerful than an agricultural-manufacturing state. The former Is always economically and politically dependent on those foreign nations which take from It agriculture In exchange for manufactured goods. It cennot determine how much It will produce. It must wait and see how much others will buy from It. The agricultural-manufacturing states on the contrary produce for themselves large quantities of raw materials and provisions and supply merely the deficiency from Importation. The purely agricultural nations are thus dependent for the power of effecting sales on the chances of a more or less bountiful harvest tn the agricultural-manufacturing n a t i o n s . They have, moreover, to compete In their sales with other purely agricultural nations, whereby tbe power of sale In Itself Is uncertain; they are ex posed to the danger of ruin In their trading with agrlcultural-manufactur Ing nations by war or new tariffs, whereby they suffer the double dlsad vantage of finding no buyers for their surplus agricultural products and of falling to obtain supplies of the manufactured goods they require. An agricultural nation Is a man with one arm who makes use of an arm belonging to another person but cannot, of course, be sure of having It always available. An agricultural-manufacturing nation Is a man who has two good arms of his own at his disposal.

Poland Cited aa an Kxampla.List further points out that the rel

ative cultivation of the agricultural and manufacturing anna of a country possessed of an ample-and fertile territory will give that country a population twice to three times as large as It could secure by the development of the agricultural arm alone, and maintain this vastly Increased population ln a much higher degree of comfort. Surplus agricultural produce Is not necessarily capital ln an agricultural country. Countries which produce such a surplus and remain dependent upon manufacturing countries are often obliged to purchase these manufactured goods s t an enhanced price. He points to PWand as an example. She exported the frulta of her soli to obtain the goods which she could have manufactured from It. As a consequence she fell like a house of cards when organized nations attacked her. List considers that had Poland developed her manufacturing arm. besides retaining her national Independence she would have exceeded any other European country In prosperity. To use List’s words: “Go to fallen Poland and ask Its haplesa people now whether It Is advisable for a nation to buy the fabrics of a foreign country so long as Its native manufacturers are not sufficiently strengthened to be sble to compete ln price and quality with the foreigners.”

Bolshevism has set out to socialise political, agricultural and Industrial Russia, and as I expect to examine the effects of communism In each of these departments of Russian life I have set down some historical and economical truths which must b« kept tn mind when examining the I.enlne panacea.(Copyright, 1»»*.

“We must hsve cotton and c.ial from the United States, for It will be from three to five years before the French coal mines csn be operated. Of course, wages munt go up In France on account of the Increased cost of living, and It Is probable that before the workman gets th 's Increase there will be more or less economic disturbance."

To The Public

The time has arrived which

makes it necessary to either can

dle the eggs we buy, or to reduce

the price in order to allow for

the rotten eggs tha t warm weath

er causes. Heretofore we have

had to make th is deduction in

price, as we were not fixed to

candle eggs, which is un fa ir to

the producer who took g lod care

of his eggs. I t would be a big

undertak ing and a heavy expense

for a ll of us to a ttem pt to candle

so we have m ade arrangements

w ith C . H . M arsh & Co. to can

dle all of the eggs brought to A l

ex. This will mean larger profit

on your eggs th is summer. M r.

M arch is know n to practically

everyone and we know th a t you

will get top m arket pr ic t for your

eggs a t all times. He will give

you a check for your produce

which is Payable in Cash a t Any

Store in Alex.

T his is an im provem ent th a t

Alex has needed for some tim e

and we feel th a t we are boosting

f c bo th the farmer and Alex in

m ak ing this arrangem ent. So

take your eggs to C . H . M arsh

& Co. and remember th n t their

check is payable in Cash or

trade a t our store. W e cordial

“It’s a ridiculous world”—-the girl addressed the dog at her feet. "Here we are dying of loneliness, Billy, and the nicest, friendliest looking man living Just down the road. Yet we dare not speak to him, or he to ua, because we have not been Introduced. In tills wild who Is likely to appear, I nsk you, to Introduce us? A girl is mighty hard up for conversation, Killy, when she has to exercise her own voice talking to a dog. Otherwise I should not be certain but that I had turned dumb. After father bringing me to this place, where ha could rest Ids overwrought nerves, I now appenr to be the only nerve Irritant, so lie hides himself away among the pines, responding only to my dinner bell."

Senator Gora w ill run strong

He pub lica ll v asked the senate

to excuse h im from vo ting upon

the second draft law , written to

raise an arm y to support our

“ The country boys who were dy ing in France. The bill pass-

will vote for h im a lm ost as a lahom a, alone, was the only not

W ha t slandeir, w hat m a lignan t

treachery and treason!

Gore frank ly counts for his

support upon those who resent

ed being taken from their homes

bitterness tha t w ill smoulder in

the hearts of those who thought

the senator if he th inks an arm y wjj0 t j ,8jr p a rts (ixceedingly

Again he sought to do the K a i

they had a ‘‘raw deal.” He ap-hay jn h jS power, the collapse of

it m igh t not be amiss to again

set forth in p a rt- to present his

treacherous record in fu ll would

require too m any co lum ns- the

record M r. Gore made in the

dark d ys of trouble.

M r. Gore was absent and not

voting when the war resolution

was presented in the senate. He

declared in a speech in th is city,

however, th a t had be be n in the

senate chamber he would have

voted against the resolution.

He opposed a bill to increase

the salary of the soldiers, referr

ing to them as “ sunshine pa tr i

expended, or used, either direct

ly or indirectly, to transport over

seas any citizen of the United

States drafted in to m ilita ry ser

vice thereof, unless such citizen

shall also have volunteered for

such service over the seas.

There were twelve in the K a i

some called them . Eleven of

them have been repudiated by

the states they misrepresented.

Commission Stands by Gas Company.Charges that materials and funds of

R. fcutterfleld for revision of the temporary 48-cent gas rate. O. R. Thravee, former attorney for tbe commission, represented Butterfield ln the hearing.

In presenting the charges signed by M E. Durham, who recently completed an Investigation of the company’s affaire and appraisement of Its properties while employed by the commission, Thraves stated that he had been denied the privilege of filing the statement while acting as attorney for the corporation commission and had been threatened with dismissal If he made the statement a matter of record by filing it as a protect against the increased rates.

Following the presentation of the statement, the commission denied th* application of Butterfield for the adjustment of rales.

Referring to the 8-cent rate increase granted when the gas company contracted for 20,000.000 additional feet of gas at a rate 3 cents higher to the company, Thraves declared that a raise of 4 mills for each 1.000 cubic feet would be sufficient to meet the added expense to the company.

The S cent increase is charged by the company on its entire supply of more than 60,000,000 feet daily and not on the 20)000,000 feet for which the company bas contracted to pay the higher rate.” he said.

As Shepherds, the Animals Are Said to Develop Traits That Are

Almost Human.

I have often wondered, remarks Mr. W. C. Scully in the Atlantic Monthly, why more butKiona are not trained as shepherds’. The creatures invariably develop an absorbing afTettion for any young animals, human or other, that are placed In their charge, and there is a well-authentlCHted Instance of a baboon taking charge of a motherless Kafir Infant, and guarding it night and day for more than two years. The simian foster parent performed every necessary function except feeding the child.

ing a Precedent to Justify

Dishonesty.

Article XIX.By FRANK COMERFORD.

An examination of Russia, the patient, Just before the treatment wus started, reveals several findings which ure necessary to complete the history and physical examination.

Russia was 78 per cent illiterate. This means that nearly four-fifths of the people ln Russia could not rend or write. It does not mean that they could not think. There ts as great a difference between Illiteracy nml Intelligence as there Is between illiteracy and ignorance. 1 have met many Kus- plan peasnnts who could not reud or write, who had good native minds, genuine power of reasoning—homespun thinkers. The head of Russia had not been trained, but It was not empty.

There are many reasons for the Illiteracy of the great majority of Russian people. Tho autocratic state was th» principal conspirator against the Russian people getting an education. The autocrats knew that Ignorance is the greatest insurance ngulnst uprisings. the greatest sedative to keep the slave from complaining. The Church in Russia, the Orthodox Church, was used to keep the light from the people. The czar was the “Little Father." the divine agent of

, God on earth.'and the “Unholy Synod” j of the Russian Church bowed, not be- ' fore the Christ, but bent low before 1 the czar. They betrayed Christ, even

as they betrayed the sons and daugh- ] ters of men, their own blood, the Rus- I slan peasants and toilers.

! Religion Their Only Solace.

The people of Russia held firmly The rest and

ease their faith gave them was the only comfort they had. In moments

canvass the wish and will of the peo- j pie at once, so they Issued the promise 1 have quoted above. The words of promise ure printed in capital letters.

It was their moral obligation to keep this promise made to the people. It was necessnry to keep It, If tbere was to be a genuinely free Russia. Wlio could anticipate and wbo would dare write out and put Into operation the plan of government without giving all of the people of Russia a chance to pass upon the plan and help formulate It through their own chosen representatives!

Tills was the first promise the bolshevik leaders mude to the Russians. They broke It. It hns never been fulfilled. In the constitution and decrees of the soviet government they have tried to explain, excuse and condone this breach of promise. Fairly Interpreted, al) they bave snld In defense of this abuse of power, this violation of trust, Is In substance: “It wns necessary to dissolve the Constituent Assembly; It might have Interfered with our plans; It might have jeopardised soviet government.” Wbat right did they hnve to think, act, and decide for the people any more than the czar hnd?

In speeches and writings Lenlne and Trotzk.v liave since ia a veiled way suggested that the peasnnts elected members of the middle class to represent them Instend of peasants. What of It? If the peasants mnke mistakes they will learn and profit by their mistakes. They cannot become Independent until they get a chance to exercise independence. No man enn get muscle by letting another fellow use the dumbbells. The Russians—pensnnts, workers and hourgeolse—ure all human beings, and a government, to be democratic, must be, as Lincoln put It, “of the people, for the people and by the people.” A government that Is afraid of tlie influence and power of three or four per cent of the people Isn’t able to live, and it doesn’t deserve to.

Gladly Obeyed Lenine.

Lenlne issued his famous order, “Peasants, seize the land.” This command was obeyed with great enthusiasm. They forgot all about freedom and the constitutional convention. They understood wliat land meant, they had been taught that by being denied It. They knew little about political phrases nnd framework. The order to seize the land tore from the serfs their heaviest chains. Lenlne became their liberator—his was the voire that snld “seize the land.” Probably the peasnnts would have done It anyway. Disorder and unrest had destroyed all respect for property

Bolshevism Officially Launched.

The birth certificate of lo ’.shevism was Issued on November 10. 1017.

“The All-Russian Congress of the Councils of Workingmen’s, Soldiers’ nnd Peasants’ Deputies decrees the form of the administration of the country. PENDINCI THK MEETING OF THE CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY. The provisional workers' and peasants' government la to be called the Council of People’s Commissioners. The administration of tbe Individual branches of state life Is to he entrusted to boards, the composition of which Is to aecure the carrying out of the program proclaimed by the congress In close contact with the organizations of workers, sailors, soldiers, peasants and employees. The government authority belongs to the board nod chairmen of these commissioners. Hint Is. to the people's commissioners, and the right of systematizing them belongs to tbe All-Russlun Congress of the Councils of Workmen's and Peasants’ und Soldiers' Delegates aod Ita Central Executive Committee.”

The government of the czar was autocratic, not because It was a bad government und misgoverned the people. It was autocratic because the people did not have a voice In It A good government that denied the people a voice would toe equally aa autocratic. With the fail of tlie Kerensky regime Lenlne and Trotsky, aod their bolahe- vik followers, did not have time and It was not expedient or uosslLle to

ent meaning in Russia than elsewhtre; property rights meant the right to bent human beings, to buy and sell serfs. Yet the fact that Lenlne had uttered the words made them reverence and respect him, even ns a man will be thnnkful to one who has told him to he careful of a hole ln the sidewalk, notwithstanding the fact he has already seen It. Bolshevism started with great popularity. This was the secret of I t

Of course the order to seize the land, all land, was based on the Idea that the owners of land held title by nnd through their own wrongful conduct. God had made the ground and sunBhlne, and those who hnd taken title to It had only moved on nnd forced others off. Tills Is the way the bolsheviks reasoned, and from this point of view they were consistent. From the world's point of view It was confiscation. It wns dishonest. Many people believe thnt acquiring property is frequently the result of Industry and th rift; in some cases the title to property Is based upon cunning, scheming and force. All of ns know that there are some who are without any private property because they prefer to squander their time, dissipate their energy nnd Uve shiftless lives. After all, It Is a matter of opinion, and from the point of view of the bolsheviks the order “Peasants, seize the land” may have beer. Justified.

But when the order was given, the pensnnts seized It not for the community hut to own It privately. On Ibis point there can be no difference of opinion among honest, Impartlnl, fulr-niinded men, nnd when the peasants seized the land to hold, use and own It as their private property they were guilty of taking title by the very means others had taken the land, and against whom they bud* coniplulued and cried “Thief 1”

The Russian people hnve the power to think. They realize that |Se,v have acquired property by the very methods they hnve always condemned In others, Their natnral selfishness may constrain them to keep thla property. The sufferings they have gone through may mitigate the offense, but one effect was Inevitable, and that effect the most serious that could happen to a people on the threshold of a free future. I refer to the weakening of their moral nature, the making of a precedent justifying dishonesty. I have found the ill effects of this act nn the patient, Russia, lu every subsequent symptom.(Copyright. 1*29. W sst.rn N .w ipspsr Union)

Important to all WomenReaders of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it.

Women’s complaints often prove to be nothing else but jkidney trouble, or the result of kidhey or bladder disease.

If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased,

yache and loss of ambition.

Poor health makes you nervous, irritable and may be despondent; it makes any one so.

Rut hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer’s Rwamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome each conditions.

Many send for a sample bottle to see what Swamp-Root, the grent kidney, liver and bladder medicine, will do for them. Hy enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., you may receive sample size bottle by Parcel Post. You can purchase medium and large size bottles at all drug stores.—Adv.

CHAPTER V.

It was ten days since the reward for Fltzhugh’s capture hnd been offered, and though detectives, city, amateur, and prlvnte, as well as the police, had kept hot an unremitting search, not a trnoe of the fugitive could they find. “Clues,” they had by scores, but they led nowhere. This tenth day fell on a Thursday In April —a cold, dark day of Incessant ruin. Nikolay Invariably called upon Esther every Friday, but on this particular Thursday night, happening to be ln her neighborhood, he decided to take advantage of the opportunity, and drop in on her for a pot of hot tea and a word of good cheer.

He was about to pass under the wooden staircase, and so to her door, when suddenly, just opposite the window he stopped still and stood as though hewed from stone.

What he saw was th is; In the center of the room, her back toward him, stood Esther; arms held out, her head back, she had the unmistakable posture of a woman waiting only for the One Man. The next Instant a very tall man, young-looking despite the short, untrlmraed beard on his lean fuce, stepped from some point outside Nikolay’s range of vision, and took her In his arms and kissed her.

His pimply face livid wtth fury, yellow hair seeming to stand on end, Nikolay burst Into the room.

Fitzhugh sprang from his place and vaulted the table, bringing it between himself and the door. “Get out, Esther," he ordered quietly, rolling up his shirtsleeves. “I’m going to slaughter this beast”

She made no move to go, however, but drew to one side, and with hands pressed to her cheeks, watched .ue

Rushed Like an Infuriated Bull.

two gladiators with mingled horror snd fascination. Nikolay had the advantage of some forty pounda In weight, but Fitzhugh was vastly hi* superior In stamina, flstlc skill and quickness of eye and movement. To win tho fight he judged he had to do hut one thlnV to keep free of the other's clutches. Once the big Hue- slan got those tremendous arrai around him the combat would be uu equal.

Nikolay rushed upon his foe like an Infuriated bull, and Vltzhugb ducked and sidestepped like a lean panther, springing In qulcklr to deliver two

blows In rapid succession, the last of which brought blood, ln ihe next rush, however, a sledge hammer seemed to swing upon the point of his chin, and he spun dizzily backward, unable to regain his balance, nnd fell heavily against a fender. But Nikolay wns not quick enough to follow up his ad- vnntnge. and when next he charged. Fitzhugh hnd recovered, nnd was dancing around him as before, his lip drawn back from his gleaming teeth In a taunting smile.

The blood wus strenmlng from a dozen cuts on the Russian's face, Its crimson blots In his eves; and ever that smiling, white-nnd-black face swnm before him like a pirouetting phantom.

Knowing his endurance to he his strcn os?, nnd the other's weakest, point. Fitzhugh desired chiefly to wear his opponent down until such time as he could rush in and finish him.

Nlltolny was fast becoming exhausted. Ten minutes of tills mad pace was more thnn he could stand. His breath came shorter ami shorter. At last he stopped and allowed his arms to dangle limply at his sides.

For a little while, coughing and spitting blood nnd catching his breath In wheezy gasps, he stared drunkenly. Then, seizing a heavy water pitcher from beside an overturned chnlr. he hurled It, with a vile word. Fitzhugh dodged the missile and lenpt for his foe. He put every atom of his vigor-

young strength Into the blow he landed under Nikolay's jaw. and the man went down like a clubbed ox.

The conqueror' walked to a corner, picked up his coat, and slung It over his shoulder. He came back to Esther, Touching against the wall like one

awakening from some horrible dream. He smiled, but ln the neutral light the smile was ghastly.

I’m sorry you had to see It. I told you I’d slaughter him."

The next moment the woman wns sobbing hysterically In his arms. “I can't let you go! I can’t—I can’t ! ” She clung to him as a drowning person, clutching his hands, his arms, his neck.

“You must, Esther." He stroked her hair tenderly. “The police may be here at any moment. Get away as quickly as possible. Never mind about him—he’ll be all right presently. I'll write you care of the post office. You write me, too. Good-by, dear, good-by.’

With these words of parting he turned and left the house.

Fitzhugh entered a saloon and laved hl» hurts nnd washed up. afterward surveying his face very critically In a mirror. He concluded he was ef fectually disguised against anybody who had not seen him during the past four weeks. He left the saloon and continued northward.

In State street he stopped before an alleged restaurant—one of those discolored, unwashed places thut can be scented a hundred yards off on a warm day, and where a “full meal” may he had for twenty cents—and read this sign hanging from a nail on the doorpost:

“DISHWASHER WANTED."

He removed the sign, walked Inside and handed It to the chemical-blonde cashier perched on a high stool between a cash register and a pyramid of toothpicks.

“I’m It." said he, favoring her with an engaging smile.

It was a sweltering, fllthv place,I "eeklng with multitudinous odors and

overrun with cockroaches. The soiled dishes came In s never-ending torrent, and all day, with three respites for food, he bent at the wash-bench, his arms Immersed to the elbows In black, soapy water. At eight came the night man, and he drew a breath of relief and a dollar on hit weekly wage, and started home. Or, rather, he started to look for a home. He found one for two dollara a week—a depressing room, little larger than a coalbox. tucked away In the upper regions of a shoddy lodging house. He paid the grlm-faced landlady half of hla capital, bought a packet of tobacco and nn evening newspaper, and went to his room.

He disrobed to his underclothing, and with the newspaper and a cigarette, stretched himself on the couch- hed. allowing his feet to rest on a chair. He Inhaled a satisfying cloud of smoke and unfolded the news sheet —and his finger* closed rigidly on the paper; his heart seemed to stHnd still. What he read at a glance stretched across four columns of the front page:

m u r d e r m y st eiiy a m o n g r e d s :OLAF NIKOI.AY, RUSSIAN NIHIL

1ST, FOUND DEAD IN SOUTH SIDE BASEMENT!

WOMAN SUSPECT GONE!

The story so shrleklngly heralded was told In a few paragraphs, and Fitzhugh breathed easier aa he read. Substantially. It related that Nikolay had been found that afternoon by Esther's landlady, who, thinking the man drunk, had called the police. An examination showed that he waa stabbed to the heart and had been dead for hours. Esther had disappeared, leaving oo trsce behind her.

I'ttshagto dropped the paper to the

"Oh, yea,” said Master Pink Pig, "I see now. But I don’t know that I care so much whether I can look creatures straight In the face or n ot I don’t care much what sort of a pig I am. I like to be a good pig, but not a good anything else."

The Swnmpton Dramotlc society wanted their annual performance to he a success, so they engaged a professional from London to arrange It all. As soon as this gentleman appeared, one of the amateurs tnckled him.

"I must have a role to suit me,” he began pompously. “I always play one of the principal parts in our shows, and so far I’ve been most successful."

“Excuse me," Interposed the pro- I fesslonal, "but you must allow me to

be the judge of the most suitable cast."

The flrst rehearsal occurred a few dnys later. When the cast was read out the pushing amateur found he had been left out altogether.

“Why have t not got a part?” he demanded angrily.

“You have a part, all right,” replied the producer. “You are to be the first banana in the frult-market scene!"—London Answers.

Each pig had a little scrap of food for Sammy Sausage's birthday present. They had each brought a large share of food and as they had brought It along they had decided that It was too much to give and had been eating all the way along until every pig's present was now very small.

"Oh." said Brother Racon, "there Is such a title hit of my present left that I will not give It tn Sammy Sausage. It would Insult him to give him such « small present." 8o BroUier Bacon ate up his present and as he did so every pig followed his example.

“Well, you're a lot of pig*, eating up your own presents" said Hununy Sausage, when he saw what was happening. He tried to stop a few present* from being eaten up, but be hadn't much luck.

as follow :

“ The democracy of O klahom a,

w ith the blush of shame nnd the

lam ent o ' sorrow, deplores the

action of its otr.er Senator in

pursuing a policy of obstruction,

and in giv ing aid t nd com fort to

alien enemies from the inception

of the war even unto the pres

ent hour, and the democracy of

Oklahom a most /illm n ly avow3 never to support any candidate ,

whomsoever, who, du ring the

was was unde r suspicion of dis

loyalty to our coun try ’s great

cause.”

This gathering, be it remerr-

bered, was the most representa

tive Party convention ever held

in Oklahom a or in any state.

mass county conventions. One

It waa a warm Saturday night and when he came from tbe broilin^ kitchen with his coat under hi* arm. dripping with pernplratluk. hla employer met blm and handA him eight dollara. live of which he promptly placed between tbe leaves of his savings bankbook, which now showed a balance of twenty dollara.

A* he nodded good-night to hi* employer he noticed a hatchet-faced man In a checkerboard suit on ooe of the lunch-connter stool*. Before Fitzhugh reached Van Burro street thla man confronted him and. smiling as cordially as his hard face' woald permit, asked:

“How much does tbe Greek pay y o o r’

“According to my desm . my solicitous friend. I draw tha moaiflcent salary of eight dollara ead) week.”

Tbe questioner poshed back bis hat aod chewed hia cigar. And his head bobbed up and down as he scanned tbe dishwasher from top to toe.

"I s'poae you’ll do.” be dually decided. “Come long to the next block. Got some'ln' I want to show yoa.”

He led tbe way op S u te s tre e t and near Jackaao boulevard stopped before a gotd-aod-white restaurant glittering with electric lights, brand new* aod spick and span. Across tbe plate- glass window in letters three feet high was tbe name, "Max's.”

“gee that? That's me. I'm Max." He tapped bis chest proodly. "Yoo r * got to make tbat name famous. Understand me? Famous! C o m e C obm Too* Uutide aad I’ll tell yoa all *boat I t *

They went In. and Mr. Max outlined hia plan. Briefly, It was this: Fltz- hugh. after a visit to a barber, was to apparel himself in d*sting«lsi>ed garb, and with an aristocratic demeanor, was to promenade S u te street for live boars daily. Fainted ln white letters oo the back of hla frock-coat woold be tbe name "VLiX S."

“L’m-bom." observed Fitxhogh drawing reflectively on his cigar. “How asoch do I get for this?”

“Weil, let me see—aay fifteea a week. How's that strike yoaT

-Jfot favorably. Make tt thirty aod tbe deal s cloned.” And even as he spoke FJtxhogb waa wondering if hia beard sufficiently disguised hba. He derived it did. Besides, tbere were tbe theatrical paertbllitlea of the thin*, and this appealed strosgly to his Wrve tor make-believe.

After ttotue further bargaining it waa agreed ba waa to receive twenty dollar* the first week and. If employed wager, tairty dollar* each for ail sabseqoeat weeks.

He reported for w art Monday awra- istg. Aetosspapied by Max. he went to a barber's shop and afterward to a

establishment where readymade apparel of the better tU m wns aold. Aboa* eleven o’clock be stepped fro a tbe resuarant. panted In the ve» tibsle. took a pair of new chamois gVyves (m n a poeket and began drawing theas aa. When he «ef*>ed eat a.-* ihe n e n ! t ( crowd and aowiied

The preceding night In Qulgg’* rooms in a hotel, Fitzhugh had been thoroughly apprised of tbe nature of his post Tbere had even been “rehearsals." He waa therefore not unprepared for what followed hia entrance Into Qulgg'* sanctum.

Mr. Qulgg. large and prosperous held a large cigar in a large band, and occupied a large chair before a large desk, near which aat a colorless, commonplace, Inconspicuous man whose weak face waa at once inquiring and impressionable. Near by a stock- ticker unwound iu tape Into a wicker w-a*t«d>asket and from a partly-open door came the furiou* clattering of many typewriter*. And here, as In the outer room, tbere was an rm- natoral note—U in t almost indistinguishable, but discordant all th* aame

As Fitzhugh entered Qulgg glanced up, then leaned toward tbe colorless one and aaid something in a low voice. Not «o low, however, but that Fitzhugh caught some fragm ent*; “i'at- tington . . . Eastern capiulist . . . Worth ten millions if be’* worth a nickel.”

Thia wa* Fitzhugh’* cue. Instantly his bearing changed. HI* tired air vanished. His eye. languidly super- cilious a moment before, became cold, arrogant, alert. He was no longer tbe blase aristocrat He was now f te high-tensioned financier, wboae minutes were diamond-studded. He «tr-od a t tbe door, a alight scowl gathering between hi* brows, his right thur. fc and second Anger snapping impatieo'- ly. Tbus cntil be received hi* ne»t cue.

“Ah. good-morning. Mr. Pattlngton.” Quigg rose, smiling deferentially, a u ) motioned to a chair. “Won’t yoa s*t down? I shall be at leisure presently.'

Fltzbugb's frown grew a little h e f tier. his eye a little harder. "I was told I - o d d have an interview with

“Spiritualistic mediums la their descriptions of the next world are ab- eurd. The next world, Indeed, Is a very ticklish subject to handle.”

The speaker was Sir Oliver Lodge. B e continued:

“A little boy was told by his Sunday school teacher that he would leave his body behind when he died.

“ ‘I don't understand thut,’ he £ald in a frightened voice.

“ ‘Tou see,' explained the teacher, T o u will Uke all that Is good with you to the better land, and leave all tha t Is naughty here on earth.'

"He thought a moment, then he aald soberly:

“ ‘I guess I’m goin’ to be pretty thin up there, teacher.'"

Tuberculosis In Cattle.The bureau of animal Industry of

the department of agriculture reports that tuberculosis ln cattle waa responsible for the condemnation of more cattle, slaughtered under federal meat Inspection last year, than all other diseases combined. Infornistlon from the bureau shows that 59,M7 carcasses of cattle were condemned on post-mortem Inspection and of that number 87,600 were the result of tuberculosis. In addition 63,062 parts of cattle carcasses were condemned for the same cause.

The bureau points out that tuberculosis In cattle nnd hog cholera In swine are the two most t.erlous contagious (licenses affecting ment animals, and there Is evidence that a heavy loss occurs on farm* In addition to condemnations at establishments where government Inspection Is maintained.

Article XX.By PRANK COMERFORD.

On the tenth day of July, 1018. the bolshevik government adopted a con- ttilufloii. They named the new nation the “Husslan Socialist Federal Soviet Kepuhllc.” They hung out a flag, a red cloth. In the left corner of which (on top, near the pole) are In golden letters 8. F. 8. It.” The coat of arms or the new Husslan government consists of a scarlet background on which a golden scythe and a hummer are placed (crosswise, handles downward) In sun rayi nnd surrounded by a wreath, Inscribed: "Russian Socialist Federal Soviet Republic. Workers of the World. Unite.”

The constitution of a country la Its foundation, it must be solid and strong 4f liberty Is to be secure. The whole superstructure depends upon the foundation. Government Is a house made of lawa. Tou cannot have peace, freedom and order without law. The people who live In the house, the greet national family, have a vital Interest In the house in which they live. It Is their shelter, their security. It ia the right of every free man to have a say In the kind of house he la to live In, a voice In the making of the laws he Is called upon to obey and maintain. The house of Freedom Is one citizen's house aa much as tt Is another's. Without equality there cannot be freedom. Kvery Russian had an equal right to determine the kind of government that should prevail In his land. The bolshevik government started oft by denying the people the right to a suy In the form of government of their country. A minority, without consulting the people, without giving them a chance to express their views, forced upon the people a constitution. So the bolshevik government was built on the false foundation nf minority rule. The principle that all governments tjerlve their Just powers from the consent of the governed was sent to the scrap heap.

Government by Soviets.The Russian constitution provides

for a government of soviets. The word soviet nieatiB council. The soviet is a body of political officeholders who run the government. In our country, Instead nf calling these bodies soviets, we call them township commissioners, village trustees, city councils or boards of aldermen, itute legislatures, congress. Under the bolshevik constitution all power is given to the soviets. This Is and has been the rallying cry of the members of the soviets. The soviets have the power to make laws aa well a* the power to enforce obedience to the laws. The legislative and executive power ia combined In the soviet.

The bolshevik constitution divides taissla Into regions, provinces, counties, towns, villages, rural districts and local rural districts. For the sake ef comparison we can liken Russia to the United States, a province In Russia to a state In our Union, nnd so on down through the list. We have ao political division corresponding to the Russian region, a unit larger than an American state.

The Russian citizen’s liberty Is mensured hy the voice he Is given ln selecting the men who are to make the laws he must obey. The constitution fixes his freedom. It says how far he mny go nnd no farther.

We hnve heard much nbout the "poor pensants." The constitution makes them puupers ln liberty. Down at the bottom of government the farmer, the “poor peasant." Is given the right to vote for delegates to the local rurnl soviet. This little body hss about the same power In shaping the policy of Russia nnd making the laws that affect life, liberty and property as the township commissioners have In the United States. Their authority Is confined to purely local mutters. When the “|>oor peasant" hns cast this one lonesome nnd meaningless vote for a representative In the local rural soylet he Is through so far as any direct say ln who shall govern him, aud how.

Governed by Officeholders.The “poor pennant," hnvlug cast his

vote for the local rural soviet, lenves the task of government to the officeholders. The deputies elected to the local rurnl soviet meet nnd elect the deputies to the next higher governing unit, the rural soviet. Here we flnd the flrst governing body for which the “poor peasant” 1b denied d vole, but not the Inst

The next unit of government In Rus- sln Is the county. The people do not hnve a vote for the delegates to the county soviets. These county commls sloners are elected by the members of •he city and village soviets aud the members of ihe rural soviets. Here we have government one step removed from the people of th# cities and two steps removed from the “poor peasants.”

The provincial soviets are elected hy the city sovlata and tbe rural so

viet* Again the people ara without a direct voice ta their own government

The constitution aaya: “The Ali- Ruaaian congresa Is the lupreme power.” This body In the government of Rnssla takes Ihe place of our congresa, our president and tbe cabinet It haa the supreme leglalntlvs and executive power. Do the people have a vote for these all-powerful congressmen T Certainly not. The All-Russian congressmen are elected by the d ty sovlata aad by the soviet! of the provinces. who were elected by the city and rural soviets, the rural soviets having been elected by the local rural soviets, whose members were elected by the people.

Congress Nat Governing Body.

The All-Rasslsn congress Is a very largo body. The flrit congress met In 1017. It numbered about 1,200 dele, gates. The eighth congress ts now (January, 1920) In session snd the present membership has grown to over two thousand. It Is a big, cumbersome body, unfit for deliberative purposes. It is more of a mass meeting, a platform for the relief of those who have speeches burdening their chests. The congress never sits for more than a week, it wee never Intended to be an organ of government. The constitution tells the story.

Section 28 reads: The All-Russlsn congress shall elect a central executive committee of not more than 2U0 members." This takes the government another step from the people.

Section 30 says: “When the All-Russian congress Is not In se&sslon, tbe central executive committee Is the supreme power of the republic." But we have not reached the end of the Journey from the people to the seat of power.

Section 35 reads: T h e central executive committee shall select a council of people’s commissars who shall manage the affairs of the Russian Socialist Federal Soviet Kepub- llc."

But let us read on:Section 37: "The council of people’s

commissars is Intrusted with the general management of tbe affairs of tbe republic.”

Section 38: “For the accomplishment of this task the people's commissars shall Issue decrees, resolutions, orders, and In general take all steps necessary for the proper and rapid conduct of government affairs."

Section 40: "The central executive committee has the right to revoke or suspend all orders and resolutions of the council of people's commissars."

But a “note” to this section of the constitution reads: “Measures requiring Immediate action may be enacted directly by the council of people's commissars.”

Without Voice In Government.

The council of people's commissars Is 17 ln number. The people had no voice In selecting the people's commissars; they were not given a choice In picking tin central executive committee; they were not allowed to vote for the All-Russian congressmen; ln the rural districts the “poor peasants” were not even allowed to vote for the men who selected the meA why In turu selected the congressmen.

At the head of the “'Sawed Seventeen” la the chief of state, Lenlne. At his right hand sits Trotzky, commissar of force ln charge of t' e array and navy. When I think of the part the people play In thia nev?iut form of “free” government aad the distance they are kept from their country’s affairs, I cannot help but see them through this constitution as though I were looking at them ttoough the wrong end of a pair of oyafa glasses.

Truly It Is a long wny from the people to the throne of Letlne. The people make only the flrst and shortest step. There are flre ierg and Important steps between the 'poor peasants" and the power, and three between the city voters and tha real government of Russia.

The bolshevik government ts a government of officeholders, for officeholders and by officeholders. It Is Lincoln’s formula reversed. I have heard It snld thnt democratic government Is a failure because political officeholders do not truly represent the people. There Is some truth In the statement bnt the people hnve a remedy; the system Is not at fault. I cannot understand the logic for the faith that a government which provides three or flve additional sets of officeholders between the people nnd the governmont will mnke things better.

Title Conveys Much Meaning.

The title people's commissar Is full of meaning. It Is obese with power. The title is copyrighted In the constitution.

In December, 1018, Lenlne ad- drerwed n letter to the American workingmen In which he snld:

"Let incurable pedants, crammed full of bourgeois democratic and parliamentary prejudices, shnke their hends gravely over cur soviet; let them deplore the fact that we have na direct elections."

I suggest thnt Lenlne put the sovlel plan before orgnnlzed labor in th« United Stntes and ask the union card carriers of America to give up direct elections In their labor unlous and ac cept a scheme of government for theii unions modeled after tke bolshevik plan, and see how mcay followers h« will get. The rank and tile o! the '.aboi movement guard Jealously their right to a voice and vote for measures and wen.

Lenlne Is a master machinist. If he ran prove thnt he designed and built the soviet steam roller I know where he can get a Job when he quits Moscow.

What wouldn't Tammany give fo» the services of Lenlne?(Cspjrrttfct. 1M». Waatara Mawspaxr Ualoa)

A r e Y o u H u m a n ?A little baby. A little child. Don’t they appeal to you ? Doesn't your

heart yearn to pick them up, to ouddle them close to you, to shield them from all harm? sure it does else you're not human. Being human you love them. Their very helplessness makes you reach out in all your strength to aid them. In health there’s no flower so beautiful. In illness there’s no night so black.

Save them then. Use every precaution. Take no chance.When sickness comes, as sickness will, remember its just a baby, just &

child and if the Physician isn’t at hand don’t try some remedy that you may have around tbe house for your own use.

Fletcher’s Castoria was made especially for babies’ ills and you can use it with perfect safety as any doctor will tell you. Keep it in the house.

Physicians and Druggists are advising their friends to keep their systems purified and. their organs in perfect working order as a protection against the return of influenza. They know that a clogged up system and a lazy liver favor colds, influenza and aerioua complications.

To cut short a cold overnight and to prevent serious complications take one Calotab at bedtime with a swallow of water—th a t’s all. No salts, no nausea, no griping, no sickening after effects. Next morning your cold has vanished, your liver is active, your system is purified and refreshed and you ar* feeling fine with a hearty appetite for breakfast. Eat what you please—no danger.

Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages, price thirty-flva cents. Every druggist Is authorized to refund your money if you are not perfectly delighted with Calotabs.—(Adv.)

Congestion and Shortage of Labor Cause Scarcity.

To move to market that part of the 1919 grain crop still remaining in Oklahoma, Kansas and nothern Texas 4,7T>0 cars will be required, according to an estimate of conditions made by the Rock Island railroad and reported to the Btate department of agrlcul ture. The railroads are attempting to move that grain before July 1, when it is expected the present year's crop will begin to be ready for market.

While the Rock Island railroad had 90.2 per cent of Ita ownership of box cars In servico on its own tracks on May 1, eastern railroads have ln their possession from 175 to 250 per cent ot the number of cars they own, the report says. Congestion at seaports, strikes Bnd labor shortage are blamed for the condition. Efforts to readjust the supply tn order to relieve the grain states will be slow, the report says.

The report urges farmers to prepare to store tbelr grain on the farm 'to help the railroads in bearing the delay necessary to haul It to market.

Attorney General Freeling left for Washington, where he will appear before the supreme court to protest against the policy of administration of Red river landB outlined ln the report of the federal receiver, Frederic A. Delano.

In oppoaitlnn to Delano's proposal to place funds In hia charge In the First National bank or Wichita Falls, Tex., Freeling said he will urge that the money be placed In Oklahoma banks The Texas banks offered to pay t per cent Interest on oil deposits above $100,000, Freeling said. Oklahoma banks, he said, offered to pay 4 per cent interest.

Although the petition for the refen endum of the resolution ratifying tb* federal woman suffrage amendment^ circulated under Freeling's leadership^ is expected to be filed wltb at least 10,000 signatures with tbe secretary of state.

Cash on hsnd in the office of thi^ state treasurer on December 31, 1919, was $7,649,020.39. ss against $7,972,-. 643.91 on July 1, 1919, according to thrf repoit on the condition or Ihe treasury, made to Governor Robertson by Fred ParklnHon, state examiner and inspector.

For alleged raise in come tax returns filed with the state, Frank C. Carter state nuditor announced that he will cause the srreat of a number or wealthy citizens ot the state under charges of perjury. Tbe Incomo tax department Is making a check of state income tax returns by comparing them with gross production tax payments, pipe line runs, corporation reports and other statistics a t his command. Carter stated that the discrepancy between reports fllnri in his office alone Is start iling. One m an'filed an in come tax return showing his earnings and those of his wire from all sources to have been $61,000 for 1919. llec ords or the groas production tax de-' partment show that he paid more than! $140,000 to the state during 1919 on his oil production. At that rate his Income from oil production alone would have been Dearly $500,000, Car tsr says.

Mor* than $200,000 will be added to the tax Income ot the state each year as the result of a ruling by the attor ney general's department holding that1 foreign mutual and reciprocal flre is surance companies must pay a 2 per cent tax on gross premium receipts. Income of the state flre marshal's dei partment alone will be Increased $60 • 000 a year on thu ruling th n t the one- fourth of one per cent tax on premiums will be collectable on all buslnesii ot flre Insurance companies and not alone oa straight flre insurance as heretofore.

Deane Cameron wns discouraged. F o r a week he had entered office a fte r office hoping fo r nu order which never m aterialized. N or did lt help mutterd any ta realize thnt ftwo*>s8ful salesmanship was not lilit ultimate goal, simply the means to the en d ; the end being to mnke Katherine Harding his w ife . I t had heen required o f him flrst to show tlmt he could care fo r her at lenst ln the fa ir ly modest wny thnt her parents had started 2G yeara before.

Mer futher, Deane’s chief, was general manager o f the W earever T ire company.

Today the company’s special representative wns to nccompnny Deane. “T o spy upon me, I suppose," thought he, b itterly, receiving with no very good grace Mr. Iln rd ln g ’s stntement thnt Newcomb could sell Ice to the Kskiinos. Kven the brond stulle, the Ann handclasp and the honest trlend- llnevs w ith which Special Snlesmnn Newcom b greeted him could not dispel Denne’s gloom.

“ I nm supposed to cnll on Commissioner Grtiycc; hut wlmt's the use? I ’ve heen there three I lines and could not even get nn nudlence."

"Il/ ive you seen lils mffster mechanic?"

"Wlmt for?”"Through tnlklng with him w e w ill

know whnt the requirements nre."Inquiry brought them to the master

mechanic, who ou tlined ’ briefly what w a « needed.

"D on ’ t thltiV? y o u " ' got a look-in, though. The commissioner has bought only o f the (a idow cll people up to now.”

“ t 'p to now Is right— watch the fu ture,” Newcomb confidently remarked as he lo ft with Deane, w h » wns learning his flrst lessoir In salesmanship.

“ Thnt fe llow met us man to man, but they say the commissioner Is a bear," Deane vouchsafed.

The confidence In IluA Newcomb’s munner wns In n sllglW degree reflected In Denne's ns the two men entered tho lobby o f the commissioner's office.

"Commissioner's busy,” a boy la conically Informed them.

“ W e w ill wi.lt,” answered N ew comb, Ills manner conveying the Impression thnt two Important men were b e li'g kept waiting. The boy took tlie lr nnmes Into the Inner sanctum, to which they soon were admitted.

"Cooil morning, Mr. (irnyee— this Is Mr. Cameron; Xcwcondi Is iny mime. W e aro calling not In tiie cnpnclty o f ordcr-takers, but to meet the man o f whom we hnve heard so much, nnd to acquaint him with the W earever T ire compuny."

“ I ’m not ln nn order-giving inood this morning, hut I nm glad to talk w llh you."

"I don’t know our requirements, Nev.oomii, but I w ill make Inquiries."

"H ere are your requirements," and Newcomb drew from his pocket the figure* which the muster mechanic hnd given him.

‘ There wns more In your friendly vis it than you at first Intimated. Mr. Newcomb.” The commissioner smiled nff ho look the paper. "W hat nre your terms?"

"T lian l; you. Mr. (Irnyce. Mny I suggest ns ill tie delay ns possible; I should be sorry to come In tomorrow wit li a revised price lis t; yet. as I hnve explained, quotations today e.re hardly secure over night. Good morning to you.” Mr. Newcomh extended his liaml.

“ You're right, Newcomb. I w ill sl£n nil order now and send In the requisition today."

H efore Deane realized It. an order for <• v;t h I thousand dollars hud been booked, the goodbys -.ilil, and he nnd Hert N ev ... nib Wi l l- i\Ing the stute- honse.

" Y o u ’r e a w o n d e r . " t h e b o y e n t h u s l -

"W bat I> have done, you ean do, Cameron."

An hour Inter he and peano emerged from the office o f the Am keg m ill*, and Deime had the m iracle o f a good-sized order. I.ater In tho day a second order fe ll to his credit, so the day s work filled him with nn Incredible sense o f satisfaction.

The next morning ns he and Mr. Newcomb were leaving the office, Mr. Uurdlng called them.

"Newcomb, we have an order of Donne’s for the state. Fine! But how happens lt that tho copy the commissioner sent beara your name, while our copy bears Deane’s?"

Denne's heart sank; bnt "Ready- Salesman Newcomb,” aa he was sometime* called, answered:

It so happens, Mr. Harding, that without Deane's assistance, I would never had landed that man. I waa on my mettle to 'ahow' Deane, and In showing him I landed the commissioner. Cameron was th# real fort* behind the order." The friendly smile that (Vimeron had by now come to know well, worked Ita charm with Mr. Harding.

All right, Newcomb, but how about the other ordersT"

“Absolutely bona Ode Cameron order*. thoee—he did nil' the talking—I was his ailent partner,"

"flood work, Deane; keep thla up for a month, and you can speak for that mlnlater."

"Thank yoa, sir," waa all Dean* r«- ►lled. but life had Uk«o on a new

An automobile stopped before the stone gates o f the great house and a beautiful woman’s face showed through its windows. Then the woman arose with decision and stepped from the car.

"Return to the hotel,” she salif to the clmufTeur. “ I shull be -h ere fo r some tim e."

“ And I .w i l l call fo r you?” the man asked.

"W hen I- telephone,” she told him.She paused before a picturesque

gate-keeper’s lodge, now unattended. This was undoubtedly the little house o f the s to ry ; she would go on to the large one fo r further details.

T h e lodge-keeper’s cottage bespoke yenrs o f disuse.

And then H lldegard Brand rang the doorbell and waited. It was not a servant who answered her summons, but a little old lady, a miniature whlte- lm lred lady, standing proudly erect.

“ Come In," she Invited. "M y husband nml I are honored to have tills visit. T h e name of Hlldegard Brand is well known und I f a view o f our environm ent may help, as you suggest, to g ive local color for one o f your stories, w e w ill be more thnn pleased. M y husband Is in tTlo drawing room."

The authoress, ensconced on the faded tapestry o f nn old lounge, gnzed with shadows deepening In her eyes.

“ And you have lived here a lw ays?" she said slowly.

“A lw ays ," tfie old lady replied. “ I was lio^-n here; It lias been the fam ily home fo r ages. My husband made lt Ii Ih, w ith our marriage.

“ The future showed much promise fo r my young husband, and lie made the promise true," she added.

The old gentleman, reclining in ,an Invalid's chair, smiled Wnnly.

"Iso ’ ie! Ih loyal." he suld. his face saddened. “ But t’.ie premise fa ith fu lly worked f o r - failed only a t ja s t .”

“Yours wns a hank failure, was it not?" Jlie w riter asked gently.

The old man nodded."Kveryth lng went nt once,” he re

plied.I l ls w ife looked up appealingly."Som etimes when I look back over

my life ." she snld. " It seems that every promise ended but In failure. There was Douglas, our ( l i ly rh'ld. W e have bcM’ti thinking o f him more today, because— w herever he Is— It Is Ms birthday. W e hnd looked for much happiness in Dougins; fr 'in babyhood to manhood he was all that a mother could desire. And then— ” •

“ Disappointment?" asked the authoress, her question sof^as it whisper.

“ It was a g irl," She said, “ a common lodge-keeper's daughter. W e hnd never in (Air ambitious plans anticipated Oils danger. The girl's name wns Dalsv Moore, and the poetic picture o f her. I think, cnucht our son's fancy.

The hopelessness o f yenrs^ wns In tln> mother's tone.

"H e took Daisy nwny with him and married her," she said.

“ A young womnn o f position among our own acquaintances was but w a iting tbe word to accept Douglas," the old man put In brusquely. "She wonld have been a great help to him In Ills profession. We hnd spared no exfiense in preparing Douglas fo r his career ns an nrtlst— and I hnd plenty o f money to buck him."

“ Y et be gnvc ft nil up," H lldegard Brand snld dreamily, " fo r tills Daisy.”

"T h ey ciinie," the mother went on. "and settled In a bare room railed a studio. And one day— while Dougins was still fHollshly hnppy, his Dnlsy went nwny aiul le ft li'm. Disappeared ns completely as though she hnd never been." ^

“ She le ft a lei ter," the old Indy went on, “ saying that II would be u"elos-i to try and find her, as sho Intended toli..so her Identity In the working world o f n b ig city. The renson stie gave, with an assurance o f her undying love fo r my sun, was that she had learned that she was but a Imr to his success. Sho had not realized this, she wrote, when she married him."

"H ow ," asked the authoress, “ could she hnve Imagined that cruel th ing?"

“ The thing wns no f Imaginary," the old mnn snld. “ Isohel cxplntned tbls fact to her when she called here, w ishing to boeon* reconciled to her husband's fam ily. T«ohel told Ihe girl that the d ifference In our positions mnde thut Impossible— Douglas wns now but her own equal. When his w ife fulled to return from her wanderings, w e sent fo r Douglas and would h iv e taken him back, but he le ft us In nnger going on a w ild and never ending search of his w ife ."

Hlldegard Brand arose and came toward the hopelesa (Viple. Aa she laid aside her hfct with Ita drooping brim, ai.illlng at them through her tear*, something like awakened memory shone In the wrinkled faces.

"Women may be more forgiving than men," she aald. "At leaat Dalay Moore, haa come all the way back to offer to you her forgiveness.

OUR NEW NEIGHBOR ON THE SOUTH

EMPIRE CITY, METROPOLIS OF NEW DUNCAN FIELD, SPRINGS INTO EXIST

ENCE ALMOST OVER NIGHT.

Farmers Are Burdened With Wealth, and Venturesome Lease Buyers Who Rush to the

Field Reap Fortunes.

R. B. H IL L ’S H A R D W A R E ,

ALEX, OKLA.

In something like eight weeks after the Empire Gas and Fuel Co. had discovered the oil producing sand on the Serber farm near Duncan, twelve producing wells, with a daily production of from 12,000 to 15,000 barrels have come in. Everyone of these wells is good for a thousand barrels per day or better, and tho latest addition to the field is No. 7, Empire, on the Serber farm, which came in with an initial production of 2,600 barrels and the prediction is made that it will eventually make a gusher of great magnitude. This well is about one- half mile east of the discovery well, and is located in the southeast corner of the quartersection.

At least twenty other wells nre on the sand, ready to be brought in, which will possibly increase the production to 20,000 or 25,000 barrels per day. New locations are being made daily, and over one hundred new derricks are either up or drilling. To date every well has been a producer. There is not a dry hole in the field.

Ths population of Empire Citv at the present time is around one thousand. Hundreds of people visit ihe field daily, and the population is rapidly increasing. Like all other oil towns, Empire City is a confusion of Jerricl:3, houses, tents, eats, etc. In other words it’s a typical “ragtown.” He:-o ar&in is being reproduced all of those things that took place at Ranker, Burkburnett, Dcsdemona and ither big oil fields.

Nearly evcry day one or more new wells come in, each one good for one thousand barrels per day or better. The sand was reached on the Stephens farm the other night, and the rig was closed down for the night with the idea of drilling the well in the morning with standard tools. Around four o’clock in the morning the well drilled itself in, and went over the derrick, good for 2,500 to 3,500 barrels a day.

The traffic in leases is furious. The streets are thronged daily with field men, scouts, big operators, and lease speculators. Everyone seems to have money, and is looking for a suitable opportunity to spend it. The prices of leases have increased by leaps and bounds, and it is reported on good authority that as high as $12,000 and $15,000 per acre has been paid, and possibly thi* figure will be exceeded. Over five million dollars has already been spent for leases in the period above mentioned, and the four Duncan banks have increased their deposits over two million dollars.

Among the prominent operators from other fields are the Empire. Magnolia, Shamrock, Healdton, and last but not least, the firm of West- heimer and Dobbe of Ardmore. These men have been very successful elsewhere and at the present time are rapidly developing their holdings in this field.

To give an idea of what really happens in a case of this kind, might be mentioned the ease of an operator, who recently acquired a fortuni in another field, who shortly after his arrival at Duncan had spent all of his money and telegraphed his bank to honor his drafts for several thousand

additional. While pacing back and forth In the hotel lobby he said, "I am making arrangements with another bank to carry me. This is the easiest money I have ever made, and I am going to make a lot more. My money is all gone but I am still buying. My judgment tells me it is good.”

The farmers are literally rolling in wealth. Mr. Serber on whose farm the discovery well was drilled is soon to become a millionaire. Just after the discovery well came in he was offered >$1,000,000 for his royalty. He refused this offer, stating that he would not know what to do with so much money. Ju st the other day he was given a check for $10,000 covering hi3 share of the oil on one well for a period of 21 days. Some four or five wells are already producing on this farm and many others are being drilled. It is very possible that he will receive in one year or less more than he was offered for the entire royalty.

There is every indication that automobile salesmen will reap a rich harvest. Every farm er whoBe land has been leased for drilling is a real prospect, and it would appear that the majority of the people have quit farm ing, as there teem* to be a great deal more money in oil than there is in raisins wheat or corn.

Property values in Duncan have increased rapidly, and as this is only a ;ir.all place it is almost impossible to secure a house or bed either for love or money.

Empire City, like all other oil towns consists principally of a main street, approximately a half mile in length, and lays right in tho center of ihe busiest part of th« field.

To one who has never been in an oil town under the above conditions, it is indeed hard to realize the changes that take place and th * rapidity with which they are made. An oil strike of this character is certainly worth while, as it means money for everybody, xnd also a chance to get in on the big money.

From present indication* it would appear that the Duncan field is bound to be one of the largest if not '.he largest yet developed in the Mid-Con- tinent. Who knows but what it will be larger than Ranger, Burkburnett, Elactra or any of field tha t hav* come before.

There is every reason for believing that Duncan and Alex will be tho center of the great pool of which Burkburnett is only the beginning.

The Walters field nearby has a number of very fine producing wells, and a reasonable number are reported as coming in each week. Comanche, Keys and Lawton show very fine production and new wells are being reported daily.

Cement, only a few miles west of Alex, now has something like thirty producing wells and a number of good gassers. New wells are coming in rapidly, and the field is extending south and east.

Did it ever occur to you that it would possibly be only a question of time until all of that territory between Burkburnett on the south and Okmulgee and Tulsa on the north

would be fully developed, and this would be one great oil field; perhaps the largest in the whole world.

There is always a certain amount of romance connected with every oil field, due to the fact that there are those who.win and those who lose.

Among those who lost in this case, and who would have won, is R. M. Conway of Oklahoma City. Mr. Conway was formerly president of the Big Anticline Oil Company, and at one time he had under lease five thousand acres of the same land on which these big gushers are now being found. Several efforts were made by him to drill wells and thus bring in the field, but he was not successful in reaching the pand. He had all of the troubles th a t go with the drilling of wells in new territory, and finally sold out all of his interests to the Empire Company for a Bong. Whether one keeps on or whether one stops may either mean penury or millions. In this case Mr. Conway is now working for a real C3tate company of Oklahoma Oity selling lots in the town of Duncan on commission; where on the other hand if he had kept on, held onto his leases iust a little longer, and not have become discouraged, he might today have been counting his wealth in millions, instead of sitting idly by and seeing the other fellow count the millions tha t should have rightly been his.

The Tribune feels constrained to publish the above facts, for to a sensible person, “oilwise,” it appears not only possible, but an absolute certainty that because of its location, Alex is foreordained to be one of the coming big oil towns of the country, and the center of an immense wealth oroducing oil field. Once the drill has hit the pay here, the things tha t will happen to Alex will cause us all to remember that fairy tale of our childhood. “King Midas and His Golden Touch." The story of th* man who was able to turn everything he touched into pure gold.

Imagine if you can oil leases right here around «our town selling for $10,000. $15,000 or even $20,000 per acre. I t ’s almost unbelievable, but it will happen to us right here when our oil field is opened.

In passing it should be mentioned that the man who will make these things possible, who will make your dreams and mine come tin *, ia Mr. Arthur Chapman, general manager of the Unity Oil Company of Kansas City and Alex. The man who never gives up, the man who never quits ana who took'the “T” out of can’t afid the man who will put Alex on the mao.

As you all know, his difficulties have been many. He has striven and continued work on the well here under what seemed insurmountable obstacles. Many, many men would have quit. But he has stuck. He says that he is going to keep on until he has brought in the well and thus opened up a big new field.

He is the man behind the gun. He is the man who will win for you. He deserves your support and mine. Let’s all get together. Let’s boost Chapman and by so doing the Tribune believes now more than ever that Alex will be the center of the biggest oil field ever opened in Oklahoma.

■ ILLY BARRED OWL.

-Now." said Daddy. T will tell th* promised story of Billy Barred Owl."

“f lo o d ," said Nancy.

-He’* always a d ee old fellow to hear about" said Nick.

"Billy Barred Owl." said Daddy, "has a flne pair of brown eye*. He hasn’t any real earn, but that doesn't bother him tn tbe least.

“Tbeir n e s t * are ln hollow tree* and they’re been known to

“The only thing tbat wtll make a Barred Owl wake up In the day time !s when a crow or a number of crow* come around and bother him and make bim get out from bis sleeping place.

“Tbeir eggs are white and tbey are very nice on the whole. In fact, the Barred Owl family are about as harmless as any of the owls and tbey ar* also smong tbe most numerous of all the owl families.

‘Hello, Benny,' Mid Billy Barred OwL

‘Hello Billy,' said Benny Barred Owl.

“ ‘Pleasant evening,' snld Billy.“ ‘Quite delightful,’ said Benny.- ‘Let's bav* a talk. I love to bear

myself talk,' aald Billy.“ ‘So do I,’ aald Benny, ‘and I will

agree to talk any old time a t all. Even If we don't say much It Is fan to hoot and to.toot and to make a lot of racket.’

“ ‘Folks do aay,’ said Billy, ‘that we make a great deal of nolae. In fact, we screech so much that some folk* think we mu*t be dangerou*. though we aren't dangerous. We're quite all right.'

“ 'We Just enjoy screeching, wbo- who-who, too-too-too,' said Benny.

“So they sat one evening quite far apart In tbe woods and talked back and forth.

"'Would you like to come any nearer and ta lk r asked Billy. ‘If you did we wouldn't have to screech so loud.'

“ 'Would you like me to come near- e r f a*ked Benny.

"'No,' said Billy, fo r If yon were any nearer, you could hear me aud 1 could hear you without the screeching and the screeching la auch fun.'

“So they sat far apart and screeched at each other In a loud and piercing way long Into the night. Sometimes they would wall and cry out, but It wm all only a part of their chatter and It didn't mean that they were in the least hid sad.

“ 'I'm a good big fellow,’ aald Billy Barred Owl, ‘and I have such strong lungs that I hope I’ll live a long time to enjoy them.'

“ ‘Exactly what I hope,' aald Benny. “ 'By the way,' aald Billy, 'do yon

remember there was something one* said about owisT*

“ 'What wa* ItT asked Benny.“ ‘Why someone said that owls were

greatly bothered for fear they might have to lose their w i s d o m teeth wlien their wisdom teeth started aching. And. of course. It would never do for they wouldn't want to lose their wladoiu.'

Transference of Part ef Population Ralicvea Congestion on Cars

In London.

Dense morning fogs bave combined with the now chronic congestion of passenger traffic to make Londoner? realize too vividly the Inconvenience* of an over centralized population, remarks the London Times. London is ondoubtedly too large for health, for happiness and for economical living and production; and, although the amenities of life in this and other great cities have in some way* been Increased by providing dormitories at a distance from the work room, the problem of dally transit has been proportionately intensified.

Much is to be said for the garden suburb, but even more for the garden city. The two are often confused or falsely identified, but from tbe point of view of transport the difference between is fundamental. Uarden sub- urba represent an extension of the dally traffic of a great town to a more distant circumference; garden cities, a permanent transference of a section of tbe population to a less crowded center.

Every Inhabitant ofya garden suburb wbo worka In tbe city contributes twice a day his or her share to tbe ever Increasing problem of traffic congestion. The colonist of a garden city, on tbe other hand, definitely relieves the overcrowded centers of the duty of transporting him to and from his work and catering for him and his. Dwellers In garden suburb* are excursionists ; tbe garden citizen Is an emigrant. It is of tbe asturevof the community to which he belongs that he shall not only sup, sleep, breakfast and occasionally play lawn tennis and grow beans or roses there, but shall work there aa w ell; and for his reward as a pioneer be escapes the strains and stretches of the straphanger.

CHAPTER VI.—Continued.

"You wish to tell me ahout that Queen Bee gold mine stock, do you not, Mr. Pattlngton?"

“Yes, yes."“I think you said you wanted a theu-

iteml shares?—the laat thousund, to lie exact."

"I snlil so."Mr. Qulgg shook his lurge head, his

buggy eyes twinkling. “I'm anrrv, Mr. Pattlngton, but In i afraid you can’t have those thousand shares."

"What d'you mean?" snapped the pseuilo-Htiiincier.

“This gentleman”—with his cigar Qulgg inillcuted the colorless man. who, eyes wide, mouth agape, hud been swullowlug whole every Whrd uttered—"Is Just about to buy 'em. You see. Mr. Pattlngton, I'm on to you eastern fellows. I know ull ahout your little game. 1 was Just telling Mr. Blakfe here about It. I know you’re trying to get possession of the Queen Bee; I know you've had your secret ugents uwsaylng her; I know you've discovered what a fat little chunk o' gold she really is. But I’m afraid you can't have her, Mr. Pattlngton. First, because the Queen Bee people don’t want you eastern capitalists to own tlie controlling Interest; and. second, because Mr. Hluke here hns spoken first, and, In fact, Is Just ulmut to ncgo tiate for Ihe purchase of the remaining thousand shares. Isn't that rig»t», Mr. Blake?"

Qulgg tlxed his ox-eye benevolently upon the susceptible Blake, who moistened Ills lips, lingered Ills hat, looked down, then up, und cleared his tlirout

"I—I guess—" He hesitated, licked ills lip*—and took the plunge wltli a rush: "Yes, that's right Mr. Qulgg. I'll take them thousund shares.”

Fitzhugh. keenly awaiting further cues, searched the grafter's face Intently, and though he received but a hare flicker of an eyelash and the faintest suggestion of a nod toward tlie door, It waa sufficient, and with no other comment he turned and left. Indignantly slamming the door behind him. For the benefit of those In the outer room he again assumed his mien of boredom as be leisurely sauntered through and out In the corridor.

lie hoarded the elevator and ascended to the top floor of the building. B<>- fore au office devoid of lettering and apparently unoccunled, he stop|>ed. took a key from his p<tcket, unlocked the door, let himself In and locked the door behind him. He removed Ills coat, hnng It on a hook, placed his hat on the table and his gloves upon the hat, then settled himself In the chair and rested his feet on the steam radiator. He lighted a cigar, exhaled a (wlrl of fragrant atnoke, and took a magazine from a pile on the table. He had barely read the table of contents, however, before there was a tap at the corridor door, and he admitted a messenger-boy, who handed him an envelop* and departed. Upon reading the dispatch b* tore the paper to amall bits snd hurried Into the ad- Julnlng roo'u, throwing off his v*et

and loosening his tie and collar as he ran.

In ten minutes he reappeared. He was completely metamorphosed. Instead of the smurt morning coat, he now wore a long tun "duster;” instead of the stylish derby hut, he wore a broad- brimmed yellow one; und he wore a soft flannel shirt with uttnched collar. and rough trouser* and dusty shoes. Under one arm he carried a horsewhip. In tine, he wits a typical ninc/ier, Just arrived In t'hlcugo with a load of cattle and a big wallet for the thousand-dollar bills. Even his heard was magically changed: It waa tousled and all askew, and against the “sunburn” on ills face appeared to he that of a man sadly In need of a shave rather than of one recently bar tiered.

A few minutes Inter he entered the “customers’ room" of Qulgg A Peevy. Free and easily, as befitted one of untrummeled life, he strode across the floor toward Qulgg'* private office, with great, awkward movements of his long body, flicking his whip against Ills thick trousers and puffing like a tugboat at bla evil cigar.

Ostensibly, Qulgg & Peevy were brokers. In reality they were swindlers. A superficial observer, visiting their offices, would have supposed their customers to be La Salle street speculatora. A rigid Investigator would have discovered I heir only patrons were victims of the get-rlch- qulck fever. The chief business of Qulgg tt Peevy was the selling of worthless stock. The rows of chairs in the “customer*’ room" and their occupants, the rushing messenger boys, the long blackboard and the phlegmatic youth chalking cabalistic figures, the chattering telegraph instrument, operated automatically not twenty feet away, were nothing more than stage properties and players, employed for the sole benefit of the suckers who made them possible.

And upon this opera bouffe stage of sham and hypocrisy strutted Daniel Fitzhugh, dreamer and actor. His roles were many and varied, hut he portrayed them all with unerring accuracy—and. yes, even art. When he was Informed that It w as^lm e for another “entrance,” he never knew, until the messenger came with directions, whnt part he would be called upon to enact. Now It was that of a Western millionaire, bluff, ungrammatical, breezy; again thnt of a French financier, suave, polite, tangling his English ; anon It was some grent banker from Liverpool, frigid and precise. But the character he most often portrayed wus the "Eastern capitalist.”

Peevy was a thin, pale man, of a drooping eye and a pointed chin, and was deeply attached to a small btlar plj*e. His huKlness was to "round up the boohs nnd steer ’em In." Qulgg, aided by Fitzhugh. did the rest.

After the second week Fitzhugh began to conceive u slinking dislike for the knavery he was abetting. After the third he begun to Imte It. Capif- bllltles were stirring within him— capabilities which told him he was worth Infinitely more than one hun dred dollars a week, and that evepr week he worked for that sum he was throwing away money. It was near the end of the flrat month that he usked his slippery employer for a hun (jred-dollar weekly Increase. He wns n little surprised when It was prompt ly grunted him.

“I wns thinking ahout Increasing your pay, KHz," snld Qulgg. in his Jarge. careless way. "You’re worth two hundred a week to me."

Put when three weeks later tlie grafter was told It was four hundred dollars a week or nothing, he frowned, pinched the pink roil of flesh under his chin with his chubby Angers, and rocked himself gently In his swivel chair. "HI tell yon what. Fit*. I'm about to tackle the biggest thing I've ever attempted. I'm launching upon the grandest little mail-order scheme In America. I expect to spend a couple o’ hundred thousands In advertising. If it goes through, as I certainly think It will, I'll do the level thing by you—”

"That’s not Ihe point," broke In Ihe petitioner. “l>o I or do I not get my four hundred-flow?”

“Tou do n ot!” Qulgg's palms descended firmly upon tbe anns of hla chair. Ills big Jaw ac<|(ilred a bel llgerent HN|iect.

"That's all I want to know." Fltz- btigh stood up briskly. ‘T hi* la W^Oesduy. You therefore ow* me hundred dollars. I ll take It BOV "

‘ H* down, Fit*. Sit down and keep (••hi!, i believe you’re a gnme sport, In spite iff the low way you’re actlug. and I'm g»lng tn make you a fumbling proposition. Home friends o' mine ar* getting up a nice, quiet little game of poker tonight, and I'm going to sit In. The |Mit'll run high—no limit. He- »w**n ourselves we'll co-operate lu thla game. I'll finance the partnership with fire thousand dollars. If we double that amount you get half the winning* vud your four hundred •

week, if not, you*ff still contrive to scrape along on two hundred.”

The poker game that nlgbt took plnce In a South side hotel. It was a six-handed game, the players being of the class commonly known a* “men about town.” Two were professional gamblers, another was a wheat pit Speculator, a fourth was a wealthy saloon owner. The remainlag two were Fitzhugh and Qulgg. Playing commenced shortly after eight. Compared to subsequent betting, it was modest at flrst. a flve-dollar limit having been Imposed. About nine, however, tho limit wns removed, and the game began to warm up. Another hour, and It had reached tke point where flve-and- Rlx-hundrcd-dollar pot a were the rule and not the exception.

The Oolden Goddess, Luck, smiled upon Fitzhugh from the very start. Perhaps It was his superior playing that won her favor. Auyhow, he astonished his coadjutor by hi* skill at the game. He wa* a hundred different men. Ills fellow players never knew how to tuke him—never knew what lie would do next. And while they were wondering lie continued to tuke their money from them aa though It were ouly n matter of course that he should.

Hot as Fitzhugh stoadlly won Qulgg as steadily lost. When the gume ended at nine a. in. it was noticeable that of the five men sitting around tbe padded table beneath the pell of tobacce smoke nud the green-shaded electric lights FlUhufh waa the only one wbo showed no ill sign of the thirteen hours' steady playing. He aeemed m fresh as when he started and apparently was quite fit tor another thirteen-hour session. When he "cashed in” he wa* winner to the extent of some eighteen thousand dollars. The professional gmnhlerH had wou a few thousands eucli. The rent had lost.

Qulgg, who had left tbe game, waa not to be found In the hotel rotunda. While Fitzhugh was walking atx«t looking for him the wheat pit speculator, a Jovial, red-faced man named Henry Hunt, clapped hint heartily on the shoulder and wrung hla band.

Old man, I'd give a million If I could bluff like you. Where did you learn how?”

It come* naturally,” smiled Fit*-1 hugli.

Hunt glanced around and lowered his voice. “Fitzhugh, I'm putting through today one of the biggest wheat deals I’ve ever handled, and I'd like to let you in on it. What time can I see you, and where?'*

"Any time a t any place.""Meet me at Burton 4 Burton’s,

then—brokers, you know, Board of Trade—a t eleven alinrp. Don't fall. It's a big thing. Sa long. Must hurry.'*

Upon certain of the casual acquaintance* he had made ln I * Salle street Rtzhugh had taken paina to creute the impression of being tbe scion of a highly respected family unknown te th* newspaper columns but poeaeaaed of wealth. Hunt waa one of thoae thue deluded. Othera he had Impressed In different wise. But every man wbe met him believed him lo be a person of means. It wns an emphatic point with him to see to lliut.

In a seclu<le<l com er and a low ton* Hunt explained his project very concisely.

"September wheat,” snld he, "opened nt ninety-eight and a quarter this morning. A gang or bulls huve inflated It till she’s like a soap bubble—ready to burst any moment. A gigantic (tear raid is coming off here tomorrow that will send Keptcinlier wheat down Ilka that”—throwing a cigar end to the floor. "Theae bears," he went oo. kicking the cigar aside, “bave got mll- llona behind ’em, and they’re going to claw the entrails out of thoae bulls. They won’t stop clawing as long am there’s a live bull le f t They're going to sell—sell—sell. It'll be the biggest smash you ever heard of. And the man who'a heading thi* big bear raid Ii none other than Symington 011*—"

“Otis?""A* you knonf of course, Otis haa

alwaya been one of the greatest bu I Ih in Chicago. Ilus thut reputation. But ull of a sudden he’s gone over*to tha other side. I found It out lust ntght. Only h handful besides myself know It. It set-niK In 's got It In for h f«llow who wus uxxoclated with him In u bull charge a few mouth* sgo. nnd he's going the staush that fellow If It taken the la»t ceut he's got. That's Otis all over. Once you get Id bad with him you might a* w»ll jump In the lake.”

"Bo I waa once given to ander- stand,” suld Fitzhugh quietly.

"You fee wber«* we ron» (p. rt? course. I'm only an outsider myself— but you I Lord, what * pile you can make!"

Symington Otis again!□

FEEUNGBLUEA L L TH E TIME

Before Takino Cardui, This Geor* gia Lady Suffered Until She Would Have to Sit Down to

Do Housework.— W as Dizzy and Weak.

By FRANK COMERFORD.

Lenlne has frequently observed that representative government Is a (allure. He has Insisted that the democratic form of governtnent Is debauched and destroyed by the political machine; that political corruption vetoes the will of the people. If Lenlne Is right ln this conclusion, then the bolshevik government in Russia offers Just from three to five times as much chance for political corruption as our own form of government. If It ts dangerous for the American people to entrust their business to an agent whom they directly elect and who la directly responsible to them, how much more dangerous must It bo to turn over the public business to 17 men appointed by a central executive committee, the members of which have been appointed by an All-Rusalan congress, which All-Russian congress ts elected by soviets for whom the people did not vote? Applying this plan to our own government, our congress would be elected by the state legislatures and the aldermen of tbe cities, then this congress no elected would pick an executive committee of 200, and this committee would elect 17 commissioners to whom would be given the supreme power of the state, both legislative and executive power, the right to make laws, and the authority to enforce the laws.

Democracy ar AutoeraeyT

All down through history two theories of government have been at war. One Is that the majority shall rul#— the other,- that the minority shall rule. The people struggling for freedom have battled for the former; the few seeking special privileges have fought for the latter. The first Is democratic, the second autocratic/ No compromise is possible; there Is no middle ground. These two antagonistic ideas have nothing ln common; like parallel lines, they can never meet. In their nature they are separate and apart. The government, of the late kaiser of Germany, the government of Nicholas, the autocrat of Russia, were founded on the Idea that the minority shall rule. History shows that minority rule has always enslaved the major-

Dalton, Ga.—Mrs. V. A. Burnett, of j ity. The rule of a minority over a Route 6 says: “I got down with my majority means slavery for the many.

It Is human nature. The principle alwaya works the same result. If It Is a political meeting and the minority runs lt, the result Is a machine and a boss. When it Is a nation, yon

1 have a bureaucracy and a dictator, deriving his power not from the consent

■ of the governed, hut from the bay- onets of the army. There may be room for honest differences bf opinion between honest men on many questions, but there ia not any room for difference of opinion among honest free men on the proposition that minority rule ts a menace.

In Artl<$fe III of the bolshevik constitution we flnd Incontrovertible evidence that the government of soviet Russia Is built on the tyrant’s *tone,

| minority rule. Section 25 reads:

I “The All-Russian congress Is composed of representatives of city sovl-

' ets in the ratio of one delegate for i every 25,000 voters, and of represent- ' atlves of the soviets of tbe province* In the ratio of one delegate for every 123.000 Inhabitants."

Discrimination Agslns* Peasants.No explanation is given for basing

the representation ln congress from the cities on the number of voters,

I while the representation in congress from the provinces Is based on the

' number of Inhabitants. The words are not synonyms, a voter Is an lnliablt-

, ant of certain age and possessing certain qualifications. An Inhabitant is

; anyone who live* Id the province, r»' gardless of age or qualifications. If | the word inhabitant is given the same

meaning that the word voter Is given, then it Is appurent tbat the constitution unjustly discriminates against tho “poor peasant." As they have had

Ui lltu i. . -wny 1 know of is to hung the prof-

State* wo estimate that ther* la on*voter ln every five of the population. This calculation is based upon male suffrage alone, with the voting age fixed at twenty-one year*. In Russia both men and women have the suffrage. and the age qualifying oo* to vote Is eighteen years. I. therefore, figure th a t thoro wonld be one voter for every two la population. There Is no question aboat the discrimination against tbe “poor peasant” and tho favoring of the d ty voter. It la only a question of how much.

Machine Politico.Lenlne may be the Idealist some peo

ple say he Is, but this section of tho constitution proves him to be a prao tlcal machine politician ln his methods. The provision was written tt meet a situation. It has a purpose. Lenlne has frequently written and spoken about the “poor peasants.” He can be forgiven for overworking the phrase. The “poor peasants” make up the great bulk of the population of Russia. It Is not bad politics, al* though lt smacks of demagogy, to speak often and sympathetically of the "suffering poor," particularly when the “poor peusants” make up the majority of one’s constituency. Many successful politicians owe their offices to this appeal. In Russia over 80 per cent of the people live on the land—over four-fifths of all the Russians are peasants. Less than one- fifth of the population live ln the towns and cltle*. Measured by hi* words, Lenlne 1* the friend of the “poor peasants;” by the constitution, their enemy.

As we have seen, the constitution specifically declares that the supreme power of the government Is vested in the All-Russian congress. Of course this Is true only ln theory, for we have read how the All-Russian congress turns the supreme power over to the central executive committee, which In turn surrenders the power to the 17 people’s commissars.

The discrimination against the “poor peasant" runs all through the constitution ; the bolsheviks sre at least consistent. Paragraph “B” of section 68 of the constitution furnishes additional evidence of the conspiracy against the peasants. It reads:

“The provincial soviets a r* composed of representatlvea of the d ty soviets and the rural soviets, one representative for 10,000 inhabitants of the rural districts, «hd one representative for 2,000 voters In tbe d e . ”

In the regional congresses it is the same, one representative for 25,000 Inhabitants of the country, and one representative for 5,000 voters of the city.

Aim at Disfranchising Peasanta.The governments of the nation, of

the regions, of the provinces, are based on the disfranchisement of the “poor peasants." I am wondering If there Is any significance In the fact tbat the people of the city have one representative for a certain number of votes, snd the people of the country have one representative for Just flve times the number. You will note the ratio Is alwayB the same: For congressmen lt Is 25,000 In the city, as against125.000 in the country; ln the regional congress it Is 5,000 voters of the city as against 25,000 Inhabitants of the country, In the provincial congresses It Is one representative for 2,000 voters In the city, one representative for10.000 Inhabitants from the rural districts. Why this flve to one? I sin wondering bow Lenlne hit upon the ratio of flve to one; Is there any connection between this flve-to-one discrimination against the “poor peasants” and the ratio of population In Russia between d ty dwellers and "poor peasants," which Is about flve to one? It is not difficult to guess the reason for this action. Any American ward politician coaid furnish the explanation In a minute. All political experience proves that a political machine Is best controlled, easiest organized In the cities. Political machines have never been popular in tbe ffDuntry districts. The soviet form of government is a political machine. The rontrol of the machine Is Insured by disfranchising the “poor peasants." I h e men who designed the bolshevik (•institution knew one thing about pfactlcal politics, snd knew that one tMng thoroughly, and that Is that clt- Irt are accessible to political control, atnenabie to political Influence, Ideal for the political machine.

The soldiers and sailors are generally stationed In cities. This gives them the power of d ty voters. They aie not discriminating against, they ate favored. Soldiers and sailors are n « free agents In the sense the civilians usually are. Civilians have a freedom of thought and action that t i e military do not enjoy. The sol- dter’s occupation prevents It. First, he Is an employee of the government; second, he Is under discipline; third, the |>eople's commissars lit his pay, determine the quantity a id quality of his food, arrange for the comforts of the barracks; the votes and the hayonats of the military s-istain and support Lenlne as truly im the military force held the csar on bis throne.'Copyright, I I I * .

| Louthan In Race ! For Law Maker

M ark Lou than , pioneer citizen

and well known throughout the

county ,in response to requests of

numerous friends, announces his

candidacy for the atate legisla

ture, issues the follow ing state

ment:

Ti tke Cltiiem tl GriJj C*nty:

Qu ite a num ber of my friends

have asked me to enter the race

for Representative of G rady

county, and after careful deliber

ation I have concludcd to do-so.

For several reasons; first, we

have a splendid state in stitu tion

here in our College for W omen

th a t needs good and friendly

representation in the legislature

at a ll times.

I also feel th a t I could be of

use to the people of the state in

a general way. I f elected, I will

represent no particu lar class bu t

all the people of the state.

I believe in tak in g good care of

the schools of the state as well as

all other state institutions.

I also believe in good roads

bu t am of the opinion th a t too

m uch money is been ?pent in

temporary work. The work done

should be of a perm anent nature, | p arasol suspended from the ceil-

to-wit: hard hand surface ro:>ds j lng wa8 [ound to conta in m any

w ith cement and steel bridges,as I parcels. These were opened and

hom a m ust equip and m a in ta in

a room for candling such eggs as

are not accompanied by th t cer

tificate.

Eggs produced in the state' for

sale or retail must be examined

as well.

Each day on which eggs are

sold or offered for sale which are

bad is to be considered a sepa

rate offense.

In the ru ling an elaborate de

fin ition of the classes of eg s

which are no t saleable is inc lu

ded. Its provisions are so thor

ough th a t only first class eggs

may be sold.

D r. Lewis said yesterday tha t

he has rec ived numerous com-

plim p la in ts recently from persons

who have bought bad eggs.

A cand ling ru ling has been in

effect in the state for several

years. N o penalty was attached

to the law for non-compliance.

I t stated th a t eggs should be can-

died bu t d id not give a detaile ■

definition of eggs which were

banned from sale.— D aily O k la

Fitzhugh did nut s|>cnk, and the other rushed on:

■Every cent I've been alile to rake, scrape. steal or borrow goes Into this. I'm going to hnve Iturton sell half u million September nt the best price he can get. Ilow much do you wnnt, I'lti- Itugh? Keineuiher, it’s not speculating, exactly. It’s more like picking up money in the street."

rled after the speculator and caught him by the shoulder. Ills eyes were twinkling. “1 won a little mouey Inst night, you know, and—Just for a Jok.*— I’m going to make that little make a little more. My poker winnings are at your disposal, Hunt. I)o with them ua you will."

"Hood boy! What'e the figure, Fitzhugh?"

"Oh. somewhere between eighteen and twenty thousand, I believe."

“Suppose I sell twenty September for you, then? It's hardly worth the bother, of course; hut I'll attend to everything for you."

Fitzhugh took out his wallet and began counting cht>cks and currency Into his companion's hand. While his lips were speaking the denominations on the checks and hank notes his mind was doing a different notutlun: "Twenty thousand bushel* at ninety-

Two days had passed before Fitzhugh und Quigg nfft again. Late in the evening Fitzhugh, Immaculately dressed, entered the private office of Qulgg. who was alone and In n black iiioimI. The fraudulent speculator swung round in his chair as Fitzhugh entered, growled a sullen “Hello!” and after a momentary silence growled an un|ileasant "Well?”

Fitzhugh jat down nnd fnnned himself leisurely with his I’nnumn lint.

“It bids t.tlr to be a wurm day,” he observed.

•'You know what I want,” snarled Qulgg, rupplng his desk with his knuckles. “Where’s ray money?”

"Oh”—Fitzhugh stopped funning, put down his hat—“you mean the poker money?"

“What about It? Where la It? What have you done with it?"

"Naturally, Qulgg. 1 pluyed poker with It."

"Aud you doubled It too!” The grafter leuued suddenly forward and pointed one of his short lingers ln Fltzhugh’s face. But If this maneuver was calculated to frighten or confuse Its mission foiled.

Fitzhugh smiled easily. “I more than doubled It. I more thnn tripled It. I won eighteen thousand dollars.”

Qulgg Jotted a few figures on a calendar pad and held out his hand. “There's eleven thousand five hundred coming to me. I'll take It now."

Fitzhugh shook his head smilingly. “I'm sorry," said lie; "but I’m afraid

you'll do no such thing."“Whut d’you mean?" Qulgg half

rose from his chair, his pulTy eyea blinking rapidly. “You've gut this money, haven't you?"

“Oot It!” Fitzhugh laughed. "Why, Lord bless you, Quigg, 1 haven't got the price of n ham sundwlch.”

"What’d you do with that money?” roured Qulgg. smashing his fist against the nrtn of his chair. “How could you spend over twenty thousand dollars In two days? You're lying to me!"

Fltzhugh's breath whistled through Iris nostrils. He stood up quickly. His face was very white. For the first time he seemed ln deadly earnest.

"Don't talk too much," he advised quietly. “There are some things I won’t stand, and If you anger me I’m liable to make that fat head of yours look like a plum pudding. The money’s tied up In speculation. If you want to know. You have the choice of two things: you can either take an equal chance with me lo the speculation, or you can take my note for what I owe you. Which do you want?"

“Neither!” exploded Qulgg. *'I wouldn’t give a cent for any speculation you'd make, or for your note either. There's only one thing to do with you. You've played me a dirty, low-down trick, and I’m coming hack the best way I cun. You’re going to work for me two months longer, and you're going to work for nothing. I'll see that you have a place to eat end sleep, hut 1 won't promise more. At the end of those two months you're tjolng to clear out of my sight, and l.ord help you If I ever see you again!"

“Gentleman to see you, suh," an nounced the uniformed negro."

"What nume?" growled Qulgg. "Didn’t give none, suh. Suld he

wanted to see you about some Florida orange groves.”

"Tell him I am very busy but will see him In five minutes."

"Yes, suh." The negro touched his cap and departed.

The moment the door closed Qulgg. keenly animated. swuug round In his revolving chnlr and spoke In a quick voice to his lieutenant: "You're Fifth avenue resident. Newport. Villa In France. Cotillon leader, *o- dety *well—all that. Recently you bought fifty thousand acres of Florida land ami turned them Into a paradise. You're tired of It now and want to sell at a great sacrifice. You follow me?”

“T'm even ahead of vou," answered Fitzhugh. Then hla demeauor underwent a complete change. Hla manner was now heavy wlUi ennui, and his voice simpering when It draw led: "Aw, really, now, I cawn'tl I really cawn't let It go for less than hawlf what I paid for It. The thing cost me hawlf a million, y'know. and I really should get tbree hundred thousand, because—'*

wheat pit. Under the terrific, unre. mining pounding of Symington Otis and bis associates September wheat descended with Invincible force. With every tltunlc swing of the hears' tremendous hammer the foundation ot the bulls rocked and swayed beneath their feet—and the dollars piled up for Dunlel Fitzhugh. Yet he knew he wus nothing In that mighty conflict. He wns unseen, unfelt, unknown—the veriest pigmy In a battle of giants.

Dowu. down went the price of wheat, wltb u dizzying velocity that made the pit totter. It touched 80. 84. 80. It tell to 75, 73. Gil. And then, In one gigantic crash, us the beurs put forth their lust, supreme effort, the bottom dropped from the Market und September wheut went to 05 cents.

It was on this duy that Fitzhugh severed his connection with Quigg & Peevy. Qulgg, repenting his unwise bargain made In a hot-headed moment of unger, endeavored to retain his "star" with alluring promises. But Fitzhugh was obdurate. He held the grafter rigidly to his word. When he left the building and walked down La Salle street he possessed nothing suve the clothes he wore. He hud not a cent ln his pockets. He had not even a place to sleep. The inimical Qulgg hnd seen tn that. Yet, entering the portals of the Board of Trade, he folt nguln that exaltation he had experienced when cutting Ills ties with Esther. Once more he was free—free to go his own way, free to mount to the pinnacle he had set himself, unhindered hy an alien hand.

The gallery was crowded, for new# of the upheaval had spread abroad, but Fltzhugh’s height enabled him to see over the heads of those In front

nnd so into the arena where waged the thunderous combat. The wheat pit waa In a paroxysm, ungovernnble and volcanic. The bulls, all but routed, were making a desperate stand. But It wns hopeless. The ground tottered beneath them. Their frenzied rushes were met by the Imperturbable, unconquerable benrs, and they were ever forced to retreat, snorting, bellowing, but unquestionably beaten.

At the height of the conflict, when the battle din shrieked lu loudest, the closing gong sounded and the day’s session wss over. The Indicator on the wheat dial pointed to 55 cents.

Fitzhugh rushed from the gallery, shoving people right and left, and took the stair* five at a leap, figuring hla profits as he ran. In the office of Burton k Burton he found Hunt, who seized his arm, clapped his shoulder, hustled him Into the street, rejoicing, congratulating and boasting all In the same breath.

“Didn't we lick ’em, though!” he rattled on. “I’ve made two hundred and twenty-five thousand, and you— well, not quite so much, of course, hut, considering the Investment, very fair, Fitzhugh, very fair."

With these encouraging word* he handed over a check for liS.TOO. Fitzhugh very calmly inclosed It In the empty morocco wallet, returned the wallet to his pocket, and buttoned the flap over the pocket.

"Yes, very fair," he concurred, without smiling. “Very fair, as you say, Hunt." Ills coolness, however, was all assumed. Beneath, he wus trembling wtth excitement.

“But, Daniel Fitzhugh, let me tell you something.” Hunt stopped shortly and “buttonholed” Fltihugh. "There's another pluin on our little tree,” he went on enthusiastically, while the pnssorshy humped and Jostled them from side to side, "that’s Just about as Juicy as this one was. It's—but come on to luuch and I'll tell you all about It."

They lunched at Hunt'* club Or, rather, Fltxhugh did. Hunt ate nothing. He waa too ebullient. He elaborated his plan, going extensively Into details, producing endless data from hla pockets, while the untaated food grew cold before him.

“All things are possible,” said Ellen ln a cranky tone.

“Now Ellen,” said Joey, “that sounds all right, but It hasn't always got sense to It. In this case it hasn’t. Tou see I was born a chimpanzee and a chimpanzee I am. Then the keeper wanted to give me a name, so he called me Joey. Therefore I am Chimpanzee Joey. Chimpanzee comes first.'

"What do you mean when you say I have a grouch on?” asked Ellen.

“Well,” said Joey, “to be quite correct I should say you had a grouch. I could leave out the word ‘on’ without hurting my sentence In the least.”

"It Is not bad to take, does not leave a constipated condition, as so many of the Uver pills and medicines do. It does Its work and leaves you feeling like a new person.”

Thousands of others have found Qlack-Draught as helpful as Mr. Trenor describes, and a valuable remedy for derangements of the liver, stomach and bowels. I t Is purely vegetable, having an dctlve effect upon the bowels, gently stimulating the liver, and helping to Increase the flow of bile.

Black-Draught has been found to assist ln the digestion o f food, and relieves constipation in a prompt and normal way.

Little Jimmy’s Answer to Leading Question Distinctly In Nature of

a Compromise.

Aunt Marie was very good, Indeed, to her flve-yenr-old nephew James. She gnve him everything his little heart desired. But still she was often Inclined to tease him and whenever he showed resentment she teased him still further by threatening to take away something slie had given him.

The other nlglit she began her nsiml teasing, taking for the subject herself and her charms. “Why, Jimmie thinks I’m a wonder," and she turned to little Jnmes provoklngly and asked: “Don’t you think I’m pretty? Don't you think I’m good?”

The little fellow was disturbed. He wanted to tell the truth, and he also wanted to keep auntie’s favor. Finally he found his tongue. “Well, I do flnk you’re pretty good," he said truthfully.

more public offices, the masses, long suffering though they were, began to growl ominously.

“But,” they expostulated, “there Is no work for more office holders to do!”

Which proved beyond the peradven- ture of a doubt that the masses were just as stupid and unreasoning as the politicians believed them to be; for any one with even a modicum of Intelligence should have learned by this time that office holders do not care for work—all they want Is the salary. —Kansas City Star.

Silver, which before the war cost less than 80 pence an ounce, now costs about 88 pence (respectively $0.60 and *1.70). The British money hns been 0.926 fine; lt is purposed to make It 0.600 flne ln the future. Wltb silver at present prices, the intrinsic value of a shilling 0.600 flne will be greater than that of a shilling 0.929 flne before the war.

father and two daughters put in a cowshed and barn and covered with bay.

When John Kraft, a neighbor, entered a barn on the farm he found the bodies of Wolf and one of his daughters lying on the floor. Not seeing the rest of the family, Kraft went down Into the basement, where he found the bodies of Mrs. Wolf, the other children, and the farm laborer. Later the eighth body was found.

There was no evidence of any struggle, and as Wolf Is not known to have had any enemies, the sheriffs office I b unable to offer any theory for the tragedy.

The only member of the family that escaped was the youngest child, a baby eight months old. The child was almost famished, indicating that the murders had been committed at least 24 hours before.

Wolf was about forty-five years old, and was popular In Turtle 'Lake.

Iilcliard Morton went slowly down Primrose hill, his face puzzled, his eyes gloomy, his mind filled with bewildering thoughts. After climbing the long hill from the town with the prospect of a delightful evening before him, to be received ln such a fashion was beyond his belief. Even the box of candy, daintily ribboned and wrapped, had failed to remove the Icy chill from the atmosphere, or the austere aloofness from Chrlstabel.

“I’ve something to tell you, Chris,” he had said; drawing on his gloves; “a surprise for you."

“You don’t need to,” replied Chrlata- bel, Icily; “I saw lt In the paper.”

“Oh, did you?" cried Richard eagerly. “I wanted to surprise you. I am going to bring her up tomorrow night and see how you like her.”

“You needn’t,” said Chrlstabel loftily. “I don't care to see her, thank you, even If I were to be home, and I am n et Now If you will please go. I don't care lo stand In this drought any longer. Good night!” And Richard had felt himself gently propelled out upon the porch, the door closed forcibly behind him.

What could it all mean? Chrlstabel surely understood that he loved her, although there lmd been no formal announcement Tf their engagement, and he had been sure she had loved him, even though she was a flirt and a tense, but what had happened to change her from a loving little comrade into a cold, dignified womnn?

Evidently she luid changed her mind | or found someone she liked better. •He

went on down Main street to his bacli- . elor quarters. As his key turned ln the

lock he was greeted l».v an eager whine, ami us he opened the door an ava-

A great light dawned uimn Dick’s face. He sprang to the telephone nnd hastily gnve a number.. After a moment n soft little voice came over the wire: “Hello.” “Hello, Chris, this Is I)lck. • Now don’t hang up your receiver. I want to as-ik you a question. Did you go to (lie «»>g show?”

How the average woman does abuse her husband—and how he does deserve It I

Our friend Bill Jones Is a traveling man and needs rest, but unfortunately he doesn't sleep well. He has consulted a number of doctors In the various towns he visits, and being a systematic person has made a sort of digest of the advice he has received. It suras up as follows:

Don't sleep on your left side, a* that creates a pressure on the heart

Don’t sleep on your right side, as It Interferes with the action of the right lung.

Don’t sleep on your back, as that Is bad for the nervous system.

Don’t sleep on your stomach, as that causes a pressure bad for the digestion.

Don’t sleep In a chair, as the body cannot properly relax.

Bill wants to know If any one can tell him how to keep from falling over when he sleeps standing up.

Color to Show Denominations.The treasury department at Wash

ington Is now working on a proposition to mark bills of various denoml nations with a standardized colored seal, so that anyone can recognize notes of different denominations a t a glance. The plan, suggested by a Philadelphia druggist. Is to have a colored seal In one corner of the bill, for Instance, a green seal for a one, a pink seal for a two, a blue seal for a flve, nnd so on! Treasury officials, however, dislike the Idea of using different dyes.

Too Literal.“Did you hear about the deface

ment of Mr. Skinner’s tombstone?” asked Mr. Jones a few days after the funeral of that eminent captain of industry.

“No, what was it?” Inquired the neighbor, curiously.

“Some one added the word friends' to the epitaph.

“What was the epitaph?"" ‘He did his best.’ ”

rulers ef Russia Is old-fashioned—behind the timea. We still cling to the old superstition that the people should be the sovereigns, that public officials ara public servants, that the safest plan of government Is that form of government which la nearest to the people. In the United States each citizen has one vote. He has a vote for the men who make the local lawa, the d ty or village ordlnancea;• vote for the man who enforces the ordinances, the mayor; a vote for the representatives in the state legislature, where the laws are maie; for the governor, who enforces the state laws; a vote for the congressmen and senators who enact the national laws and formulate the national policies; a vote for the president, who carries out the suprfeme law of the land. While it Is true that ln the case of the president, we vote for electors who elect the president, there has not been a single case wherein an elector has voted other than he was Instructed by the people. We come together ln political parties, present platforms, and every citizen lias a chance to register his opinion of men and measures. The citizen has a right to voto at primary elections and register his choice for the party candidates and for the delegates to the conventions which formulate the party platforms.

Bolahevlk Argument Unsound.

The bolshevik* point out that political parties do not live up to their platform*; that candidates for office default ln their promises after they are elected; that representative democracy Is frequently not representative of and responsive to the people. We know that there ts some truth In this criticism, but we know that it Is our fault We hare the power to express our wants, to record our will. We also have the power to punish our betrayal. We can recall from office recreant public servants; we can add to our legislation and take over the power to Initiate laws, and compel the reference of legislation back to the people before tt can become operative as law. Our public officials are only our agents; we hire thsm, wo psy tbem; we can flre them, disgrace them and punish them tf they fall to obey our instructions. Such Is our power. If we do not use the power Intelligently snd effectively It 1* our fault If we are Indifferent to the rights we possess and fall to use them, the fault Is with us. Therefore, we do not condemn a system of representative government because some of the Individuals wbo make up the government are nnflt and unworthy of tbe rights they enjoy.

Ths bolsheviks appear to favor a change ln the method of governing the people. The plan they have adopted Is based on ths theory that the people must not bs trusted, but tbat ths officeholders can. Bolshevism is government from the top down, rather than from tbe bottom up. They seem to go on the theory that power delegated through many bands will lose Its corruption Just as running water does. This political theory flies in the fsce of all human experience.

Bolshevist “Joker.”

In our number* we have a figure which for many years hai enjoyed a peculiar reputation; It Is the "Jester” of numbers. It Is the number “23.” It Is known ln American slang as “sklddoo.” The bolsheviks Inserted In the constitution a Joker, and oddly enough they gave It the "sklddoo" number, “23." It Is found ln Article 2 of the constitution:

"Being guided by the Interest of the working class as a whole, the Russian Socialist Federal 8ovlet Republic deprives all Individuals and groups of all rights which could be utilized by them to the detrlmont of the socialist revolution.”

Here Is the big beware sign In the constitution. What does It w ean; wbat feara must come Into the minds of men and women In Russia when they read this paragraph? The constitution deprlvss every one, Individually and collectively, of exercising any rights he or they may have whlcb are opposed to bolshevism. Did tyranny ever impose a more arbitrary, autocratic ukase? The paragraph concedes that Individuals and groups have rights, and then command* the people not to dare use those rights, If their exercise might be detrimental to the Lenlne-Tmtsky government. The right to voice thoughts Is sentenced to silence. Freedom of opinion Is crushed. Who Is to determine what rights, If exercised, might bo detrimental to * socialist revolution? The meaning la as plain a* the roinmand Is atern. Fall In line with bolshevism or perish, I* the order. If you disagree with our plans and methods, “be seen bat Mt heard '

I wonder what oar good friend* the militant soap boxers, who thoul about freedom of speech, would ftilnk and ssy If ln these days of unrest the congress of the United States and the president should make such a pronouncement America, indlcal and conservative, would rise In protest against any such law. Wo live, grow and progress as a people because of our freedom of thought, speech and action. Of course, we sllnuce the man who criminally advocates lawlessness, and we do It for the saiue reason that we arrest the man who spits on the sidewalk. It Is to conserve the public welfare, the common good of the great majority who do not believe in violence and disorder. What would happen to our "Red” agitators If they were In Russia today Instead of In the United States, and vsntured a single disagreement with the bolshevik program, either In policy or methods! This constitutional provision Is not a muffler on free speech, It is a gag.

What freedom can there be In a country In which opinion Is shackled? How can a nation make progress except by the conflict and friction of opinion? In the United States, experience has taught us that the majority is generally right that ths many can be trusted. We have put Into practice the Idea that many heads are better than one. The bolshevik constitution launches the policy that wisdom can only come from a few minds—tbe fewer, the better. This Is the method they adopted to socialize freedom of thought freedom of speech It means a communism of Ideas, but a very limited communism. In fact, limited to the “Holy Seventeen," and the oracle- dictator. The people are outside the circumference of this communism. In their zone communism commands obedience and silence. The human race has fought many a flne flglit tn take the fetters from tho minds of men, nnd no fight was ever made for a more essential liberty. When tha mind of man Is not free, what freedom can there be? The jailing of the body, serious as lt Is, Is only * small In terference with man’s liberty com pared with the imprisonment of his mind.

This constitutional clump muzzles the press. Notwithstanding all ths criticism which may be justly made against the press, the fnct remains that the newspapers of the world have been a great force for good, a great power In securing freedom. We see the world through the eyes of the newspapers; It Is our source of Information; we depend upon lt for the facts upon which we base our opln Ions. Notwithstanding the bitter partisan character of the press, few papers know party lines or party prejudice when the public Interest Is menaced. The press has thrown the searchlight of terrible publicity on the ratholes and driven out the political rats. The freedom of the press is Indispensable to free government

Lsnlne’a Change ef H eart

Lenlne, before he came into power, wa* the loudest voice ln Russia, crying for free speech. His pen bad been most bitter against Interference with the freedom of the press. In his pamphlet, "Lessons of Revolution,” he wrote:

"The printing establishments of the labor press are raided. The bolsheviks are arrested, not Infrequently without accuaatlon, or on the pretext of charges whlsh are simply calumnious.

"It may be argued tbat the prosecution of the bolsheviks Is hy no means a violation of free speech, since only certain persons on specific charges are thus prosecuted. But auch arguments bear the earmarks of premeditated untruth. For why should printing offices be raided, newspapers suppressed, for the crimes of lndlvlduala, even if these crimes are proven and sustained by law? It would be altogether different If the government declared criminal the entire bolshevik party, its Ideas and views. But everyone knows ‘that the government of free Russia never could, and Indeed never attempted to do anything of the kind.'"

Lenlne coming into power, wrote Into the constitution a new crime. He declared all opposition to the bolshevik program a crime. On this high moral ground he struck down freedom of thought, freedom of *|>eech. freedom of opinion and freedom of ths press.

In tbe language of a great radical, the time will come when tbe silence of the people of Russia will be more powerful than the voices throttled by the bolshevik gag today.(Copyright, ‘ » l , W utarn N .w .p e w Usiea)

More than two-thirds of the roll calls in the Senate

and House are meie quorum calls. In short, they have

nobhing to do w ith votes on legislation.

The Senator or Congressman who jumps every tim e

the bell rings to answer roll call has m ighty litt le other

business.

O f course, Senator Gore was marked “absent” on a

great many of these calls. As a member of the Agricul

tura l and Finance Committees of the Senate, he had real

work to do. Like other busy Senators, he could not rush

to the Senate chamber every tim e the gong sounded.

IT IS T R U EThat Senator Gore was abse ’t when some im port

ant votes were taken. During the 62nd Congre s, he was

away from W ashington several weeks, campaigning twen

ty-one states to help nom inate W oodrow W ilson for Pres

ident. A t th a t time Senator Gore’s opponent was fight

ing W ilson. D uring the 63rd Congress, Senator Gore was

forced to spend considerable time in Oklahoma, defending

a b lackm ail case. D uring the 64th Congress, Senator

Gore was sick for a number of months, part of the tim e

being near the po in t of death. He missed a number of

roll calls.

Lastly everybody knows that Senators and Con

gressmen are frequently pnired and cannot vote, even

when present in the Senate or House.

The demand tha t Senator Gore be defeated because

he wasn’t in the Senate chamber every time the clerk call

ed the roll is the finest bit of twaddle the campaign has

produced.

Because of constant com

p la ints coming into my office

from all parts of the fta te regar

d ing the sale of spoiled eggs, I

deemed it necessary to construct

a law which is now in force and

effect for the protection of the

public. The specific points in

the law are that no indiv idual or

firm shall have in their possessi

on w ith intent, to sell any egus

unfit for human food “An egg

shall be de*med unfit for human

food if it be addled, or mouldy,

a black rot, a white rot, or blood

| ring, or if it has adherent yolk,

i or a bloody or green white; or if

consist in w hok or part of a fil

thy, decomposed or putrid sub

stance.” reads the law.

In order to tell when an egg is

“ unfit for human food” tSe pro

cess of candling has been provid

ed in the law. The term "cand

ling” states the law, “ shall be

construed to mean t ie careful

exam ination in a partly dark

room or place, of the whole egg

by means of a strong light, the

apparatus and method employed"

to be such as shall be approved

by the State Health Depart

m ent.”

l- irma having eggs for re-sale

or consignment are required to

include a “ candling certificate”

in each case ( f eggs handled,

showing that this process has

been complied with. I t is con

sidered a “ misdemeanor” to vio

CHAPTER VII—Continued.—10—

"Ro you see,” he wound up. “there's nothing to it but a bull market There'll be a big rebound just as aure as we’re sitting here. 8ymlnglon Otis la my strongest |>olnt. As I said before, I’m nine-tenths certain he'll turn bull again, now he’a walloped the man be *eu t after, and you know what that means. He'll send wheat up like a balloon—he’s strong enough to do I t All we need do Is to climb Into the basket and participate :n th* grand ascension."

“As you have wisely pointed out Hunt,” began Fitshugh. turning the fragile stem of hla wine glass between his long fingers, “we had better step cautiously at flrat—aort of feel our way. There’s never any telling what pitfalls may lurk below tranquil waters. Afterward, we'll wade ln boldly. Merely as a starter, I’ll give you my check tomorrow for twenty-flve thousand. I'm not sii.vlng what I'll do after th n t”

As they were leaving the cluh. Fitshugh turned lo hla companion nnd. as though suddenly reminded of some Inconsequential thought that hnd occurred to hltu eurller in the duy, aald carelessly:

“Oh, by the way, Hunt, I’m thinking of opening a smtili banking account In Chlcugo. I wish you'd Introduce me to your banker."

• e • e e e eFor once Hunt waa mistaken. Thero

was no boom In December wheat. True, there was a reaction, for when tbe bears removed the pressure the abnormally low market begau gradually to assume a natural level. But winter wheat, which Hunt had expected to mount by leups, dragged slowly, ascending, to be sure, yet moving little by little—an eighth or a quarter at a time. Once or twice, In aome suddeu (lurry, It even went off half a point

Hunt was very much puzzled."There's a screw loose somewhere,"

he told Fitshugh, after one of these tinexplninuhle slumps; “but I can’t figure out Just where."

Of late, Fitzhugh had been studying Indefntlgably the hundred and more different conditions which, directly or Indirectly, affect the Chicago wheat market. He devoted hours to this, where another man would have devoted minutes, and his fcrnln, so keen, so quick to grnxp every salient detail and appraise Its true value, enabled him to view the present situation with a far clearer vialon than thnt of Hunt.

“I think 1 know where the wobhly place la,” he replied, “and, unleaa I'm mistaken. It's going to shake the whole machine to pieces before lon.T. Hunt we'll have to draw out. If we don't, our little craft will he swamped, and shell sink Ilk* a rock. For my part, I want to sell every bushel of wheat I own tomorrow morning.''

They cifiled a taxlcnb and repaired forthwith to Fltzhugh's newly leased apartment In a newly erected building In Lincoln parkway. It wits for bachelors exclusively, this building, and If Its smart elevators, smarter attendants and potted plants and costly appointment* were any criterion, It was also exclusively for wealthy bachelors.

The Japanese servant served dinner, after which Fitzhugh and his guest sauntered to a front room, evidently Intended for a library and study, and there ensconced themselves before a low bay window commanding a magnificent view of the lake. Hunt settled blmself contentedly In a chair, whose soft cushions embraced him in a delicious manner, lazily emitted a stream of cigar xmoke and allowed his gaze to wander about the beautiful room, replete with soft tones and colors.

Suddenly Fitzhugh stood up. “Let's get down to business. Hunt." He spoke very briskly and. crossing the room, took from the round safe embedded in the wall several packets of paper* secured hy thick elastic bands.

These papers contained a mass of data covering the past seven weeks, consisting of crop reports, statlatlcs from many different source*, newspaper clippings and telegrams and cablegrams that had exhausted his ready money to the last cent. He walked to a heavy desk of solid mahogany, awltched on the light thnt was a miniature of the gorgeous one on the table, and spread the papers on the flat top of the desk. And while Hunt sat opposite, following him with concentrated attention, he went over them point by point, dwelling fully on every detail, explaining clearly the reasons for his belief. So Inddly did he do this that a child might have followed him.

Fitzhugh went straight to his bank and deposited the thirty thousand dollars. Immediately afterwards he started hack to the Ituurd of Trade. When nearly there, however, he stopped, paused Irresolute, then turned and walked slowly In ano'her direction. For over nn hour he roamed restlessly about the loop. He seemed Infirm of purpose, aimless of destination.

Once, without exactly knowing why. he entered the post office and strolled absently about the dark corridors. He was leaving hy the western entrance, when, happening to glance to his left, he snw on the glass over a doorway. “General Delivery."

He opened snd rend them one by one. standing near the window. In all of them Esther breathed her lov* for him. yet there was a difference aa the letters progressed. In the flrst two she wrote chiefly of him and secondly of the work she wa* doing for the Cause. The next one was ffolely about him and there was a more Insistent note In her passionate declarations. In the third wns a tone of dospalr, a hint of fond hopes fast slipping away; and the Inst two were filled with bit ter reproaches, piteous pleadings— Jealousy I

There was a conversational pause, while Hunt reperused some of the papers scattered about the desk.

“So you think we’d better unload?" he said Anally, sitting hack and motioning to Hakl to fill bis cbampague goblet.

"As though our live* depended od It ”

Hunt watched the servant fill his glass, then lifted it and surveyed bl» boat solemnly across Its rim.

“So be It" he rumbled In a sepulchral voice. “The blame be upon your bead If we lose."

Fltzhugh's prediction naa bountifully fulfilled next day. December wheat went tumbling and crumbling.

Hunt, thanks to Fitzhugh, managed to squirm from under with a whole skin and a few thousands profit. Hurrying through the outer office of Bur-

RED SHOULDERED HAWK.

'I think It Is a perfect shame," said the Red-Shouldered Hawk, "that such wrong stories could go around about me, and not only that they could go around ahout me hut that they have gone around shout me.”

What wrotii; stories have gone around about you7” asked the Griffon Vulture.

When the Griffon Vulture had been free and out of the r.oo hla nest had been high upon a cliff which no creature could roneh.

He was a coward as all hla family had always been and probably always will be. He wouldn’t go lifter prey which could fight him hack such as living prey, hut he would feast on things thnt had been killed.

He had a musky or animal smell which he liked himself I

What wrong stories have gone around ahout you and are going around about you?" asked the Griffon Vulture again.

“You see," said the Red-Shouldered Hawk, from hia cage, "I lived In Eastern and Northern America before I came to the zoo, I am very much like the red-tulled hawk and he too Is very badly treated. Tbe same stories have gone around about him. We look very much alike, Onasln Red- Tailed and I, and our families ar* very much alike, too.

"Why do you care what they think of you?” asked the Griffon Vulture, his horrible and cruel face turnod toward the Red-Shouldered Hawk. “They think horrible things of me," he added.

"Yes,” said the Red-Shouldered Hawk, “but they are true. You are a horrible creature, a coward and all

“We suffer for the sins of tbe old hen hawk. Creatures think we’re hen hawks and persecute us because they think we're bad. Many of our family have been killed because folks thought they helongid to the Hen Hawk family.”
