ON MOVE
Continued from First page.

on the police force today by Mayor Hen
sley and are patrolling the city. While
there has not been as much disturbance
as one would suppose with as many peo-
pie in the city, the city authorities want
TO be prepared for any kind OF an emer-
gency. The men are dressed in citizens
clothes. It is hard to tell them from
the homeseekers, but they are equipped
for business, al right.
In one OF the restaurants tnis morning
al Of the walters went on a strike for
higher wages. Two OF the walters con
Guided that life was too short 10 work
in a restaurant for few dollars a week
and Immediately formed partnership with
Canadian county notary public TO write
registration papers. IL was not long until
they had a stand and were telling the
people about their business as well as
the man who has been at work since the
first day.
Partnerships are formed here IN a few
minutes. One man makes a suggestion
to go into some kind of business and the
proposition is taken up Immediately It
may be that thees same men never met
before they came here. but they work
hard, make e few dollars whether they
are acquainted or not. Lemonade stands
spring up IN a day. The next day some
other persons win will have the stand
and thus the changes are made from day
to day.
The man with a map OF the country is
in luck. There are everp kind OF maps
on sale and the 'hawkers" are every
where. One man with a map started out
selling It as the official map Of the Kio-
wa-COmanche country. People fell all
over themselves to buy it at q cents
copy. One of the map men who could
not sell his map telegrsphed TO the IN
terror department TO fad out OF the Of
icisl map had been issued. The reply
came back that it had not and this en-
ergetic map man had the telegram pub
lished IN the local papers. Nothing more
was heard OF the official map man and
he IS probably still iu hiding HIS har-
vest Of one day must have been immense. {
for he could hardly hand out the maps
fast enough. The man with the maps
showing the topography OF the country
