Thursday, March 4, 1920 YOUNG LIFE TAKEN AWAY It seems sad enough to have our aged loved ones to depart from us but it is much more sad to have the young promising lives taken away. Granville Cook, son of Rev. and Mrs. H.E. Cook who live two miles east of town, took a relapse of the flu three weeks ago and developed into pneumonia. He was up from the flu and thought to be out of danger, but is supposed to have taken too much exercise in practicing basketball. All that medical skill and loving hands could do was done to try to save his life and at times it appeared that he was going to recover, but the grim reaper took him away at three o'clock on Monday, March 1st, 1920. He had been attending the local high school before he took the flu and was a bright scholar and well liked by all the pupils and all who knew him. The high school pupils secured a beautiful floral offering in token of their love for him. The Baptist Sunday School of which he was a member also gave a beautiful floral wreath. We join the many friends of the family in extending sympathy to the bereaved. Granville Elzy Cook was born in Jackson County, Oklahoma August 2, 1902. Died March 1st 1920, being 17 years and seven months of age. He come with his parents to Mountain Park about three years ago. He leaves to mourn his departure a father and mother, one brother, two sisters, and a host of other relatives and friends. Funeral services were conducted Tuesday, march 2nd, at the Baptist Church by Rev. L.N. Moorhead of Minco in the presence of a large congregation. Interment was made in the local cemetery. CARD OF THANKS We wish to take this means of thanking our many friends of Mountain Park and vicinity for their kind ministrations and tender sympathy during the sickness and death of our beloved son brother and nephew. Rev. and Mrs. H.E. Cook and children; Mr. And Mrs. J.H. Alldredge; Mr. And Mrs. J.L. Cook. ROOSEVELT COMING If the weather is favorable the Roosevelt School basket ball team of boys and girls will play the local team on the local diamond at four o'clock Friday afternoon. Come out and boost for the home team. KILLS 3,000 IN OKLAHOMA YEARLY Spitting is not only an unnecessary and disgusting habit, it is a pernicious menace to the life and safety of humanity. Here are a few of the facts on tuberculosis compiled by the Oklahoma Tuberculosis Association for the "Anti-Spitting" campaign which will be conducted during the month of march and intensively during the week beginning March 14. Consumption kills annually 200,000 people in America; 3,000 in Oklahoma. Consumption is the result of ignorance. It is not inherited but contracted from another. It thrives on darkness, dirt and moisture, but sunlight is its greatest enemy. Don't spit. Help distribute this message over the state during this month of March. Consumption is the result of ignorance. Drive out disease. The next time you are tempted to spit --- don't. TO PEOPLE IN AND AROUND MTN PARK You were asked by telephone last Monday night to come to the Cemetery on Tuesday and help clean it up; a few come. There is much to be done and now we ask that you come Thursday March 11th, get up as though you had to get to work at 6 o'clock in the morning. Bring your dinner, bring a (jug?) of water. We will need spades, shovels, pitchforks, hoes, wheelbarrows, wagon and teams and let us make the last place we saw our loved ones a place as nice as we can. Do not be the one that is not there. We expect every business house in town to close and go to the cemetery. If you do not quit your business and your work on this day you will stop sometime and someone will take you there. ...it is a shame and disgrace the way it looks. You are expected to be there and to work after you come. Don't come dressed up, you can't do your part that way. This is a very plain notice, but it should be plain. We the same as anyone else have been neglectful our duty the same as anyone, but have decided to do our duty from here on in regards to keeping the place in which you laid our dear child, father, mother, sister, wife or husband to rest. Ora Bramblett, President; Dave King, Vice President, Mrs. G.A. Burkhart, Sec'y; Mrs. R.E. Bullick, Treasurer. GORE FLOODING THE STATE WITH "DOPE" Postmasters of the State are being advised that Senator Gore is preparing to flood the State with documents justifying his course in opposition to the President, to his party and to his country during his term, and through and since the war. He will find that it takes something more convincing than franked "political dope" to patch up his unsavory record of opposition to the Government in its hour of trial. The loyal men and women voters of Oklahoma have already written: "Weighed in the balance and found wanting" opposite the name of Senator Gore, and on primary election day they will take great pleasure in promoting Scott Ferris to the place in the U.S. Senate which Gore has proven himself unworthy to fill. For many months the Lawton News has been printing a statement to the effect that Scott Ferris voted in congress against raising the pay of the soldiers from $15 to #30 at the beginning of our participation in the world war. At the recent democratic county convention at Lawton a resolution was adopted, unanimously, denouncing "the local republican paper"---meaning the Lawton News --for repeatedly publishing the falsehood that Mr. Ferris opposed an increase in the pay of soldiers, when the records disclose that he worked and repeatedly voted for the increased pay." SINGING CONVENTION The quarterly singing convention of the Swanson county organization will be held next Sunday, March 7th, at the Spring Hill school house, twelve miles northeast of Mountain Park. Everyone come. LOOK FOR BAD WEATHER THIS MONTH Rain, sleet and heavy winds may be looked for in Oklahoma in March, according to the monthly weather forecast of L. Howell Lewis. The March fore- cast follows: First storm period for the month will be of the regular order and probably will extend from the 2nd to the 6th. Some equinoctial disturbances may be expected in Oklahoma." "Second storm period of the reactionary order will come between the 7th and the 12th. During this tie we may look for some very disagreeable weather- probably rain and sleet in Oklahoma. Third storm period will be between the 14th and 17th. We are now getting close to the equinoctial storms which will be attended with heavy winds and cold rains, wet snow or sleet in many sections of the country. Fourth storm period will be of the reactionary order and probably will come between the 20th and 22nd. Look out for thunder storms, attended with heavy winds in different parts of Oklahoma. Fifth storm will be of the regular order and will come close to the 25th. Bad wind storms may be looked for passing from the west to the east. Watch for earthquake reports in different parts of the world close to the 4th and 5th or 19th and 20th of this month. NOTICE If your water bill is not paid by the 15th of the month your water will be cut off. And those who let others get water from their hydrant will be held responsible for the payment of their water dues. These rules will be enforced. Meadows & Hook. SHE HAS SPOILED DADDY Her father gave Helen several things for Christmas which she wanted very much, and she kept kissing him to show her gratitude. A day or two after Christmas he brought home a belated gift which didn't particularly interest her, and she offered no gratitude. "Come here and kiss me," said he, pretending to pout in disappointment. "Oh, dear," sighed Helen. "I've got you so spoiled that you think kissings always go with givings." Rev. W.J. McCollum filled his regular appointment here at the Baptist Church Sunday, and he and his wife left Monday for Shawnee to attend the State Sunday School Convention.

FITTING A BEAR WITH NEW TEETH A grizzly bear may wear out his teeth, just the same as a human being. When he needs new ones he gets them, particularly in America. More animal dentistry has been done here than in any other country. Once, when an old pet bear belonging to the owner of a well-known menagerie was fitted with a complete set of false teeth, it was necessary to glue the plates to the bear's mouth to keep them in place.

WHAT MAKES CORN POP A grain of popcorn is filled with tightly-packed starch grains. The inside of the grain is divided into al large number of cells, each of which may be likened to a tiny box, the walls of which are sufficiently strong to withstand considerable pressure from within. Upon the application of heat the moisture present in each little box is converted into steam that finally escapes by explosion. The grain of corn then literally turns inside out and is transformed into a large mass of snow-white corn. LIVE STOCK MARKET (Editorial Note)-We have arranged with the Cassidy Southwestern Commission company of Oklahoma City for a weekly news letter report on the live stock market which we think will be of value to many of our readers. The Oklahoma city Stock Yard is the scene of much activity this week. Cattle receipts are much heavier than normal, caused no doubt, by shippers taking advantage of the opportunity to market their stock and at the same time attend the Southwest American Live Stock Show which continues throughout the week. The heavy receipts, however were accompanied at the opening Monday, by a twenty-five cent decline of prices on all butcher cattle, but heavy beef steers and stocker cattle have held to a steady basis. Choice fat cows bring $8.00 to $9.00; good fat cows, $7.25 to $8.00; fair cows $6.50 to $7.00; cutters $5.00 to $6.00; canners $4.50 to $5.00. Choice bulls, $7.00 to $8.00; common bulls, $5.50 to $6.50. $14.00 is the top for choice light veal calves, while the choice heavies bring $8.50 to $10.00, and the common, $5.50 to $7.00 The country demand for stocker cattle is increased somewhat by the Fat Stock Show visitors, although prices are no higher. Heavy feeder steers bring $10.00 to $10.50; stocker steers weighing 700 lbs. Or up, $9.50 to $10.00. Light stock cattle bring $8l50 to $9.50; cows $6.75 to $7.50. The hog market opened fifteen cents lower Monday, with a top of $15.05. Bulk of hogs selling for $13.50 to $13.90. Pigs from 411.00 to $12.50. PRETTY IDEA OF CHINESE Chinese gardeners sometimes plant statuettes of tiny men firmly in pots, just like real plants, and then train live evergreens to grow over these statuettes. The vines thus form a kind of robe for the statuette men, their white faces and hands protruding from the green leaves. CHILDREN'S THEOLOGY A little girl explained God's omnipresence by saying that he was every where without going there. A small boy, reflecting on the misdeeds of Satan, remarked: "I don't see how he ever got to be so bad when he had no devil to put him up to it." WEATHER AND THE DEATH RATE The general death rate is found to increase with rising temperature, and to diminish with a falling thermometer. These conclusions are reached by Doctor Ellsworth Huntington of Yale, and are a result of a study of about 400,00 deaths in New York city in connection with the weather on the day of death. The peculiarities seem to apply to all seasons. Variety in the weather is healthful and stimulating, and it is believed that some variability is as essential as proper humidity. HEARD AND SEEN AT THE CAPITAL Americanism Is to Be Taught by Motion Pictures Washington.---Plans to combat unrest and to aid in solving problems now before the government through the aid of the motion picture industry were discussed at a meeting of about one hundred men and women prominent in the motion picture industry. A campaign under the direction of Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane will be conducted through the publicity made possible by motion picture houses. The action comes as a result of a request of the joint committees of the house and senate urging the motion picture men to take up such a campaign. In his address Secretary Lane said: "It is within the power of you men in whose hands the motion picture industry of the country is centered to excel, if possible the great work which you carried on during the war-a service, I frankly believe, that was not outdone by any other single agency. The task is not an easy one. And yet, I believe, through the medium of motion pictures in their elevation appeal to the finer sense of our peoples, and they reach ten million Americans daily, there can be instilled into these hundred millions the lessons for fortitude and patriotism which it is essential that all must learn." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An Authoritative Biography Of Grover Cleveland Announcement is made that an authorized biography of Grover Cleveland is in the course of preparation. For some reason no adequate life o the twenty- second president of the United States, who was also the twenty- fourth president, and in each term was the central figure in important political events, has yet been written. Several volumes of reminiscences of his public career have appeared, but none that is at all comprehensive. Information now is that Mrs. Thomas J. Preston, formerly Mrs. Grover Cleveland, has entrusted to Prof. Robert M. McElroy of Princeton the task of preparing the life and letters of the late president. Professor McElroy is head of the department of history and politics at Princeton University, has written several historical works and has lectured extensively in this country on his special subjects. This biography should make one of the notable books of the year. President Cleveland was a good deal of a storm center during both of his administrations and was criticized as sharply, perhaps, by factions of his own party as by Republicans; but his firmness on the more than one occasion was of great benefit to the country. Mr. Cleveland died in 1909. He was probably not a popular president, though he constantly gained in public estimation while in office, but his fame has steadily grown since his death and in history he will undoubtedly rank among the most notable and useful of executive and as a man of courage, honesty, determination and strength of character. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Census Figures Promised by Next Summer and Fall Announcement of the population of practically all cities of the country by May or June and the total population of the entire country in September or October is the expectation of the director of the census, Sam L. Rogers. Population statistics of some of the cities probably will be completed by March or earlier. Washington is expected to be the first, as it was in the thirteenth census in 1910. In that year it was taken April 15, and announced June 24. Rhode Island's population in 1910 was announced first in the states on July 21. New York City's population was announced September 2, Boston's September 14 and Chicago's September 18. " The enumeration is in progress throughout the entire country," said Mr. Rogers. "Advices from the supervisors indicate that during the first week of the work at least 70,000 enumerators were started. We find that in some districts it will be necessary to postpone the enumeration because of weather conditions. There has been no opposition to furnishing the information requested by the enumerators." The director is now organizing a force of clerks, who will be equipped to examine the schedules as rapidly as they are received from the supervisors. These clerks will make a preliminary count of the population. This preliminary count will be made public as rapidly as the totals for the cities and the minor civil divisions are obtained. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Uncle Sam to Get After Profiteering Landlords Through the collection of taxes on 1919 incomes, the government will wage war on profiteering landlords with "sweet revenge" in prospect for "the tenant who has had to dig deep into his earnings to pay a high rental in 1919." Intimation of this new aspect in an announcement by Daniel C. Roper, commissioner of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, that forms for making income tax returns which will be in the hands of all Internal Revenue collectors contain a section providing that tenants shall include in their statements the amount of rent paid and to whom it was paid. This information will be turned over the Department of Justice to be used in the high cost of living campaign. "The tenants then will have a chance to do the driving and hold the whip," Mr. Roper said. Profiteer landlords will be held to the straight and narrow path in payment of their income taxes. Revenge is sweet to the tenant who has had to dig deep into his earnings to pay a high rental in 1919. Gathering his family around him he takes his scratch pen in hand and with the last drop of ink in the bottle informs the commissioner of Internal Revenue that he, Bill Brown, of the Hallroom apartments, paid John Smith, 13 Profiteer Ave, $1200 for his three-room flat in 1919. The Internal Revenue Bureau can then see that the profiteer John Smiths pay proper tax or face prosecution. WHAT HE NEEDED Mr. Greenby decided to grow vegetables, and straightway paid a visit to the nearest store to buy the necessary seed. The sales man showed him samples of the various kinds of potatoes as a start off, but Mr. Greenby could find none to suit. "I am afraid these will not do," he remarked. Then in a confidential whisper, he added: "You see, I have only two teeth in my head, unfortunately they are not opposite one another. Haven't you any mashed potato seed." --- Half of the troubles we complain of are troubles because we complain of them. UNJUSTLY ACCUSED Mamma---Bobby, why did you clean your shoes on this towel? Bobby---Why, mama, I only wiped my hands and face on it. CLEVER "Is that young man who calls on you very clever?" "I should say he is. Why he can pick up a new dance step in no time." The common house fly usually becomes full grown four weeks after birth. EDIBLE PRUNE PIT The stone-less prune, a Burbank production, promises to become a popular fruit. The fruit is practically the same as the ordinary breakfast prune, with the exception that the stone in the center is replaced by a soft kernel or seed that can be cooked with the fruit and eaten. TREAT CATARACT WITH RADIUM Of the 24 cases of cataract treaded with radium by two New York physicians, improved vision is reported in 50 percent. In the treatment which was continued from three months to a year, the radium was fixed a little less than an inch in front of the eyelid, which was closed and harmful soft rays were screened out by a filter of suitable kind. No injurious effects on the eye have been observed. JEFFERSON COTTON LEADS State Crop in 1919 Fifty Percent Larger Than in 1918. Oklahoma City.---Preliminary report on cotton ginned in Oklahoma for the crops of 1918 and 1919, given out by the bureau of the census, shows a sharp increase for the 1919 crop over the 1918 crop. The greatest increase for one county was shown in the report on Jefferson county, which is credited with 7,205 bales for 1918 and 24,248 for 1919. Thirty-seven counties show a decided increase for the 1919 crop. The report is on quantities in running bales, counting round as half bales. Linters are not included. The report by counties for 1919 is as follows: Adair, 655; Atoka, 19,530; Beckham, 16,724; Bryan, 20, 658; Caddie, 16, 693; Carter, 20, 131; Cherokee, 4, 963; Cleveland, 17, 776; Coal, 9,486; Comanche, 12, 025; Creek, 20, 384; Garvin, 35, 681; Grady, 12, 024; Greer, 14, 822; Harmon, 14,500; Haskell, 12,220; Hughes, 29,315; Jackson, 36,770; Jefferson, 24,248; Johnston, 16,662; Kiowa, 19,776; Latimer, 2,608; LeFlore, 24,098; Linclon, 32,108; Logan 7,932; Love, 13,323; McClain, 13,349; McIntosh, 22,678; Marshall, 12,360; Mayes, 5,351; Murray, 11,731; Muskogee, 25,757; Okfuskee, 27, 043; Oklahoma, 10,333; Okmulgee, 10,481; Pottawatomie, 21,261; Seminole, 17,448; Sequoyah, 21,261; Stephens, 21,700; Tillman, 26,324; Tulsa, 3,744; Wagoner, 9,707; Washita, 9,086; all other counties, 52,271. MOONSHINE STILL RAIDED Two Men and Much Booze Found In Shack Near Coweta Muskogee.---Two complete moonshine stills, twenty-five gallons of whiskey, 300 gallons of mash and 500 pounds of sugar were seized by Deputy Sheriffs Rutherford, O'Brien and Murphy of Wagoner county, and four deputy government revenue men. The officers found the outfit in an old abandoned house in the center of a field four miles west of Coweta. They arrested two men who gave their names as Griffith and Conners. The officers said it was the most elaborate outfit ever found in Oklahoma, and the man had probably been making whiskey for six months. The capture of the two stills at Coweta probably will shut off one of the sources of contra- band liquor now being sold here. Local enforcement officers have been tracing whiskey to a point near Coweta for four months, but until this week could not ascertain, they say, who the shippers were. Y.M.C.A. SCHOLARSHIPS A Number of Opportunities Open for Former Service Men Former Service men who have not already field applications for scholar- ships in some courses offered by the Y.M.C.A Educational Service for demobilized men may do so between now and March 10, 1920. There are still sufficient funds to care for several ambitious men in practically every county of the state, but at the rate applications are being filed they will soon all have been distributed. There are two funds; (1) a General scholarship fund with which to purchase commercial, private or correspondence courses and (2) a Collegiate fund, with which to pay tuition in colleges. There are twenty agricultural, six commercial, sixteen applied mathematical and twenty engineering, Home Study Correspondence Courses for those who cannot avail themselves of residence schooling. Those interested in this line of training should apply to the nearest Association mentioned below. Y.M.C.A. Bartlesville; Y.M.C.A. Haileyville; Y.M.C.A. Muskogee; Y.M.C.A. Oklahoma City; Y.M.C.A.

THLOCCO CASE IS UP AGAIN Another "Heir" to Oil Lease Appears in Court Muskogee.---Asking permission to file suit against receiver J.F. Darby for possession of the Barney Thlocco million-dollar oil allotment, Saley, Seminole Indian, claims to be a daughter of the Creek Indian whose death in 1899 precipitated a long legal tangle over the disposition of his property. Thlocco is believed to have no surviving direct descendants, as he and his family died in a stockade during the epidemic of measles in Indian Territory. Saley does not mention the name of her mother, who may have been one of Thlocco's wives. She asks an accounting and quieting of the title to the allotment, value of which is said to have run over $6,000,000 in recent years. Saber and Martha Jackson were declared to be the most direct heirs from Thlocco in a decision handed down by Federal Judge Youmans. Hundreds of claimants to an heirship have been bought off by the Black Panther Oil and Gas Company. Mr. Darby has been receiver in the case since it went into the courts on the motion of the government to have the property revert to the Creeks because of the fact that Thlocco died before the allotments were actually made. This motion was defeated. IN ALL LANDS (Concise Review of Week's News) Peace Notes Returns from Schleswig, where the inhabitants are balloting to determine whether the province shall be Danish or remain German, gave 72,733 votes for return to Denmark and 24,793 for remaining a part of Germany. The province was seized by Prussia in the Prusso-Danish War provoked by Bismarck in 1864. Announcement was made in London recently that January 10 was the official day upon which the war with Germany terminated. This date was fixed by a royal order. President Wilson has before him a personal cablegram from Frederick Wilhelm, former crown prince of Germany, suggesting "if the allied and associated governments want a victim, let them take me instead of the 900 Germans who have committed no other offense than that of serving their country in the war." Official and unofficial appeals from strict nationalists of Indian, Egypt, South Africa and Ireland for self-determination in the League of Nations have been received by the secretariat of the League of nations portending a difficult session whenever the council of twelve settles down to business. The treaty awarding Spitzbergen to Norway was signed in the clock room of the French foreign off the other afternoon. Hugh Wallace, the American ambassador, signed for the United States. The German government according to the Zeitung Ammittag, has notified Belgium that the German-Belgian financial agreement, must be annulled, because of Belgium's participation in the extensions demand. The list of persons charged with war crimes whom Austria must deliver over to the Allies will be handed to the Austrian government at an early date, according to a Vienna dispatch. It is ready, but will be examined by the representatives at Paris of Jugo-Slavia, Poland, Rumania and Czecho-Slovakia. The Socialists announce that a general strike will be proclaimed throughout Poland if the government rejects the Bolshevik peace offer. They assert that all the labor parties would support such a strike. *********************************************** WASHINGTON Denial that any group of organized workers possesses an inherent right to strike is contained in a memorial to congress .? . conference in Washington of representatives of four large farmers organizations, the National Grange, The American Farm Bureau Federation, the cotton States Board and the Association of Tate Farmers' Union Presidents. Failing to reach an agreement with representatives of the more than 2 million railroad employees on demands for increased wages, Director General Hines decided to submit the whole case to President Wilson for decision. Enlisted men of the army received 63 percent of the medals awarded for service in the world war, it is shown in statistics made public by the war department. To enlisted men went 57 for the 78 congressional medals of honor awarded, while 3, 593 out of 5,109 distinguished service crosses conferred were given to enlisted men. White House and railroad administration officials regard "as most serious" the railroad situation precipitated by the orders for a strike February 17, issued by officers of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way employees. President Wilson will accept the Hitchcock reservations to the peace treaty, he said in a letter read recently to thirty Democratic senators in conference on the treaty. The reservations mention were rejected by the senate on November 19. Industrial courts operating extra-legally and handling only voluntary cases, are contemplated now by the President's industrial conference as the substitute for the rejected plan for arbitrary settlement of industrial disputes. **************************************************** DOMESTIC R.G. Scrymeser of the sales department of the Federal Sugar Refinery, 91 Wall Street, said recently that within two weeks there will be plenty of Cuban sugar at lower prices. In the face of an endorsement of the principle by President Wilson and his appeal to take no party action against it, the Democrats of the house of representatives in caucus, recorded themselves overwhelmingly in opposition to universal military training legislation by this congress. The women's suffrage amendment was ratified by the state of New Jersey when the assembly, by a vote of 34 to 24, passed the Senate ratification measure. This makes 29 states which have ratified. The Old Dominion liner Princess Anne, which grounded on a reef off Rockaway Point recently, was reported to have broken in two later. Forty-eight of the crew who had remained on board were said to have been rescued by a fishing boat. Fifty passengers were injured, none fatally, it was said, when four coaches of Seaboard Air Line train No. 3, New York to Jacksonville, rolled down an embankment nineteen miles south of Savannah, Ga. The cause of the wreck was not learned. Rhode Island voters, by 8 to 1 majority, the other day approved a two and one-half million dollar bond issue to provide funds for a bonus of $100 to each of the state's twenty-five thousand men and women who saw military or naval service. A wild turkey, the gift of H.B. McMaster, prominent sporting goods dealer of Columbia, to President Wilson has resulted in the trial and conviction of Mr. McMaster in a magistrate's court for violation of the South Carolina game laws. Enlistment of 190,758 recruits will be required this year to maintain the army at its authorized strength of 256,134, Col. W.T. Bates, in charge of recruiting, informed Chairman Kahn of the house military committee. President Wilson has accepted, effective March 1, the resignation of Franklyn K. Lane, nearly seven years secretary of the interior department. After twenty-one years of public life he must "now think of other duties" was the reason assigned by Mr. Lane for his with-drawal from the cabinet. Four person were killed by Kentucky militiamen when a mob attempted to storm the Fayette County jail at Lexington to lynch Will Lockett, a Negro who was later convicted of the murder of Geneva Hardeman, 10 years old, a South Elkhorn schoolgirl. ************************************************* SOUTHWEST At least two Germans were fighting in the Mexican Army on August 27, 1918 at Nogales, according to the testimony of Capt.

Resignations of all principals and teachers in the Lawton, Ok., high and other schools were placed in the hands of Superintendent Hugh A. Carroll, recently, following the failure of the board of education to take action on the demands of the teachers for a 25 percent salary increase. John I. Baker, 47, of Arkansas City, Kas., died recently, soon after drinking a pint of toilet water. He became blind and delirious before death. Baker was an oil field worker.

A rescue party in thirty sledges have been sent to the scene. More Italians will emigrate to the United States this year than in the record year of 1913 when 375,000 left Italy for America, in the opinion of American officials in Italy. Already they are besieging the consulate at Naples to the extent that the small staff are swamped. Former Hungarian soldiers who have returned to Hungary after escaping from Russian prisons in Siberia state there are 200,000 Hungarian prisoners of war in that country and that their condition is pitiable.

WHERE NATURE FURNISHES THE HEAT A few miles out of Naples is a place known to all tourists, the Solfatara. It is doubtless the crater of a nearly extinct volcano. Stream carrying a strong odor of brimstone rises from various crevices in the ground, and the guide, for a suitable fee, will permit you to cook an egg in the hot sand. Clean Bill: "Have you any avuncular relatives?" "No; haven't a disease of any kind in our family." Diamonds worth $100,000 have been obtained in two months on a farm in the Orange Free State.

THE ORDERLY PELICAN The pelican is not an attractive bird, but is commendably regular in its habits. The parent birds catch fish, and after eating their fill deposit the others in their pouches and carry them to their young. These pouches will hold from three to eight pounds of fish. They are elastic and when distended to their utmost nearly touch the ground.

MOUNTAIN TRIPS COST MORE Charles A. Parry, in writing of a walking trip in Japan, stopped at a tea house between Ikao and Haruna. He continues: "Four men soon came up bearing two of the small conveyances called kagos, which are light, open litters with wicker roofs on which the traveler's light baggage is carried. With the kago- men I had a little chat on the question perennially interesting to all men: 'How's business?' One said it takes five hours to go from Ikao temple to Haruna temple, and three to return. The charge is $2.20 for two men. Last year it was $1.40. Despite the increase, the men have more customers in the fall of 1919 than they had last autumn. This primitive conveyance is sufficiently costly; but there is a still "higher collar" conveyance, the Chee-ay-ah, or true palan-quin, with which, for the privilege of being able to loll at full length and of having four coolies close to your person all the time, you pay $4.20." CHEROKEE SUIT FOR NEGRO LAND Tulsa.---A telegram from Washington Tate Brady, general chairman of the Cherokee claims organizations, says that the house Indian Committee voted unanimously to allow the Cherokees to bring suit against the government to recover on lands and moneys given to Negro freedmen since 1866. The suit will be filed this spring. Plans for it were made at a convention of Cherokees held here in 1916. Estimates are that the moneys to be asked by the Cherokees will total $30,000,000. JITNEYS RULED OFF STREET CAR LINES Muskogee.---After February 6, jitney buses will not be permitted on streets over which street cars operate. Under a city ordinance, which was held valid by the courts, operators of jitneys are compelled to file with the city clerk a schedule of their routes which they are obliged to maintain. R.D. Long, general manager of the traction company had threatened to suspend all street car service in the eastern part of the city if the jitneys are not regulated and kept off his streets.

El Reno.---Protesting the proposed sale of the St. Louis, El Reno and Western railway for the purpose of junking it, at a meeting attended by the executive board of the El Reno chamber of commerce and business men and property owners from the various towns along the railroad between El Reno and Guthrie, an association was formed to use all possible legal means to prevent any firm or corporation from taking up the rails of the road. Due to the fact that the road has been a losing proposition for some time, stockholders advertised it for sale recently, but this sale was recalled until later in the year. While only one train a day is run over the rails, citizens along the road state that they have invested their money in good faith, based upon the operation of the road, which would cause a great loss should the service be discontinued. The association will also investigate methods of making the road a more remunerative proposition. STATE HOUSE NEWS A.E. Nichols of Haileyville, was appointed mine inspector for district No. 2 by Governor Robertson. He succeeds W.T. Williams whose resignation was received. Valuation of banks for taxation will be made not on the face value of their shares, surplus and undivided profits but in accordance with their total assets, considering stock as valued at the amounts for which the shares are being bought and sold, the attorney general's department advised Fred Parkinson, state examiner and inspector. Real estate owned by banks is to be deducted from the estimated value of their shares and assessed and taxed to the banks as if owned by individuals, the opinion holds. Earl Lewis, 18 years old, of Sapulpa, was given a parole by Governor Robertson. He was convicted of burglary last March and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. Paroles have been granted to Savanah Green of Vinita, serving a five year term in the penitentiary since June, 1918, for buying and receiving stolen property and to Fred Botkin of Enid, charged with embezzlement, whose conviction in the district court of Garfield county was affirmed recently by the criminal court of appeals. Botkin never served any of his sentence of one year in the penitentiary. Unclaimed federal aid money for road construction in counties of Oklahoma in 1920 amounts to $3,115,000, Robert C. Terrell, state highway engineer, announced. Of that sum, $2,000,000 will not be available until July 1. In order to get the money, counties must appropriate funds for roads to the amount they wish to get from the federal fund. If the entire sum is used this year, it will mean the starting of $6,230,000 worth of roads. Disappointment awaits county commissioners who resign in the hope of being named their own successors in order by that means to get the increased salary provided by the last legislature, Governor Robertson informed an inquiring commissioner. The commissioner asked the governor if he might not evade the provision of the law making the increase inoperative for commissioners then if office by resigning and being re- appointed. Resignations will be accepted in good faith, the governor declared. Gross production tax collected the fiscal year ending next June 30 will exceed the estimate of the state board of equalization by $1,000,000. Frank C. Carter, state auditor, said when an examination of figures for collections made so far this year revealed receipts to be only $321,000 short of the total estimates for the year. Tax collected already amounts to $2,038,000, Carter said, while the estimate is $2,350,000. Recent increases in the price of oil will swell the amount of tax payments due April 1, Carter said in his state- ment. LIVE STOCK NOTES A silo is a safety vault for stock feed Better deeding and better housing are the needs of live stock raising. A few more animals might help you to diversify crops and make farming more profitable. The hogs must have plenty of exercise during the winter months. Their quarters also must be warm and kept clean. More calves of the beef type might be raised on many farms. The people of this country will need beef and they can be made to pay for it. Regardless of prices for live hogs and the future for marketing the surplus meats farmers can raise enough hogs for their own table supply of meat.

Child VITALITY OF GARDEN SEED Majority of Them Germinate and Grow Well After Being Stored for Several Years Observations on a number of vegetable seeds over a period of years has shown that the majority of them germinate and grow well when several years old, thus showing that seeds gown and harvested under favorable conditions may retain their vitality for a number of years. Seamless Boats Now Molded Seamless boats are now molded out of thin steel. A plate of the metal is run into a huge hydraulic press which forces or stamps it into the form of a boat, and turns it out virtually ready for the sea. AUTOMOBILE GOSSIP If gasoline drips from the carburetor when the car is standing and the engine is not running the needle valve connected with the float should be investigated. The great deal of clutch trouble for which the owner can find no obvious cause is due to the fact that the clutch shaft is out of true with the center of the flywheel. A drill can be made to cut an over-size hole by grinding one cutting edge a little longer than the other. This is a scheme that is useful in an emergency, when a hole must be made of a size for which there is no dill. The use of spotlights on motor cars is forbidden in Canada. The Ohio Automobile Trade association with 1,300 members, is considered the largest of its kind in the United States. To prevent automobiles skidding and to increase the traction of their wheels a Washington man has invented a broad fabric belt that passes over a rear tire and an idler wheel mounted beneath the running board. TO LUBRICATE AUTO SPRINGS Apply Mixture of Cup Grease and Graphite by Jacking Up Car and Spreading Leaves The best method of lubricating the springs of your auto is to jack the weight of the car off of them, then force the leaves of the springs apart with a screw driver or spring spreader and put between them a mixture of cup grease and graphite. BE SURE AIR VENT IS OPEN This Is to Allow Gasoline to Flow Into Carburetor From Bottom of Supply Tank In the cap on the filler hole in a gravity feed tank you will usually find a small hole. This is to allow air to enter at the top so that the gasoline can flow into the carburetor from the bottom. If gasoline fails to reach the carburetor, though there is plenty in the tank, make sure that this air vent is open, before trying to locate a stop-page in the line. CLEANING AUTO REFLECTORS In cleaning the reflectors, first wash off particles of dust and dirt with a stream or spray of hot water. The hot water is most conveniently applied with a syringe. Do not apply it with a cloth. Then take a piece of absorbent cotton saturated with alcohol and wife off the surface of the reflector. This procedure will remove all dirt and grease and leave the surface dry and clean. Do not attempt to clean the reflector with a handkerchief or with polishing powders of any kind. PRESERVE SHAPE OF STORED AUTO TIRES Device Is Made of Few Boards and Mounted on Brackets Constructed of Strips of Wood-How It Is Put Together: There are very few public or private garages that have not at least one tire in use. The usual method of storing these spares is to hang them on large nails or hooks. This may do for a day or two, but if left for any length of time the tire will assume an irregular shape and a weak spot will develop where the nail has been when the tire is put to use. The illustration shows a type of hanger that may be made wide enough to accommodate a pair of tires or even more, and will keep them in their original shape. It is made of a few boards and mounted on brackets constructed of 3-inch strips of wood. The sides are curved to fit the inside of the tire and short pieces of board are nailed across their upper edges. The tire is thus supported on about a third of its circumference and so held in shape.----- Charles R. Fisher, in Popular Science Monthly. SILENT ENGINE IS MOST IDEAL: TAPPETS ARE RESPONSIBLE Circular Piece of Fiber, Hard Lead or Copper Caps May Be Used---Another Plan Is to Place Cardboard Around Valve. A silent engine is the ideal of all who own or drive cars. The valve tappets are responsible for a great deal of engine noise and it is comparatively easy to eliminate it. Remove the valve tappets from the engine case. Find the center and rill a three-eight inch hole one-eighth inch deep in the face of the tappet. Then cut a circular piece of fiber, three-sixteenth inch thick, to fit the hole tightly. Place the piece of fiber in the hole and give it two or three sharp blows with a hammer to seat it properly. File off flush with the top of tappet and finish the surface with fine emery cloth. Hard lead or copper caps my be fastened to the tops of tappets. The cups can be formed of No. 18 hard lead or No. 22 copper over the top of the tappets, but cutting a circular piece of the material one-fourth inch greater in diameter than the top of the tappet, cutting the edges at each corner of the tappet and pounding down the edges. Be sure the cup is down tight on the tappet and that it is soldered fast around the edge. Another method that can be resorted to is to place cardboard cylinders around the valve-stems and tappets. Take a piece of cardboard, shellac one side of it, and cut it so that it will just fit the valve housing. Then wrap it around the tappet and valve-spring, with the shellac side in, and fasten it with bands of soft iron wire at the top, bottom and center. Be sure that there is enough clearance for the valve-spring to work. After it is in place shellac the outside, as this will prevent the oil from soaking into the cardboard. If a repair shop is available the valves may be removed and placed in a lathe. With a turning tool taper the end sharply to about a 30- degree angle. Care must be taken to get the valve centered in the lathe, for if the points are the least bit off they will cause a side thrust to the valves when replaced in the engine.------James Linday in Popular Science Monthly. WHILE THE SUN SHINES One morning Mr. Jenkins, the proprietor of the village provision stores, received a letter which caused him to indulge in a few imprecations at its cool effrontery. It ran as follows: "Dear Sir: Will you let my little boy, Billy, 'ave six loaves and a pund of cheaze on trust as my 'usband is out of work, and will yer rap the cheaze in a bit of the situations vacant advertisements of a newspaper, and tie the bread ina lump of your buter muslin, cos if the werst comes to the werst and the old man don't find a job 'e'll have to borrer your pair of stpes and a pail and go out winder cleaning."

All going Smoothly: The chaplain came plodding along the road coming back from the front lies several hours after the infantry had gone ove the top. "How are things going up there" inquired an artillery lieutenant. "Fine, fine," said the chaplain. "We're knocking them for a goal. "Haven't seen many prisoners," said the lieutenant skeptically. "No, I guess you won't, replied the chaplain, "our machine guns haven't jammed all morning." God makes the pure air, but unless we breathe it freely it profiteth us nothing.

He was probably counting the number of jolts you were giving him and calculating how much energy was wasted every time he was hurled into the air." Snoring Around: "You know my brother?"

"What time did you go?" asked the mother. "Oh, in the core of the afternoon," replied the little girl. "Mother doesn't understand what you mean by the "core" of the afternoon," it was explained to Marjorie. "Why, I mean the middle," she said simply, as if wondering at the ignorance of grown folks.
