CHANGING ONES NAME.
The Method Is "A rather Costly One
In Great Britafn.

The Method Is n rather Costly One
In Great Britain.
Many people change their names
without asking permission from any
one or paying any fees whatever. This
is certainly the simplest way of get
ting rid of name you do not appre-
ciate, but Ii is apt to prove expensive.
For instance, such course Is strictly
Illegal. and the government could step
in at any time and demand the pay
ment Of heavy fine; and further
more, If the individual who changed
bis name without consulting anybody
happened TO come In for a large sum
of money unexpectedly the authorities
would decline to recognize his claim
II he had failed to pay the fees due to
the heralds college for assuming a
name not given in baptism.
There are two ways Of changing
your name, and they are both rather
costly. One method Is to have Il pri-
vate act of parliament passed for your
benefit. This course Is generally fol-
lowed only by peers and people to
whom money is no object, for 1t costs
fT50. This nearly all goes In fees to
minor officials for bringing your case
before the Legislature, inasmuch as the
actual passing Of the bin costs prac
tically nothing. And the only advan-
tage you will gain from this expensive
way Of going to work Is that inquiries
will not be made into your past history,
which by the other alternative are I'M
avoidable.
The usual method adopted for legally
changing the name is somewhat te
dious, IL less costly. and you must have
very substantial reasons for so doing
or your claim will not be allowed. If,
for instance, you inherit property
which makes it conditional that you
change your name you can do so on
payment of about ESQ In fees.
In the first place you must com
municate with the home secretary,
who. If he considers your claim valid,
will refer you to the heralds' college
and the king Of arms. These officials
will make full inquiries into your his
tory and satisfy themselves beyond
question that your reason for wishing
to make the change is in every way
legitimate. This done, they will again
communicate with the home secretary,
who will lay your claim before the
king, for he alone has power to au-
thorize the change being made. Even
tually. after some months Of waiting,
you will be informed by the heralds'
college that his majesty has approved
of your claim and the change of name
is published in remote corner of TIE
London Gazette.
Finally it is worthy of mention that
no one can hold public appointment
under government who has changed
his name without the consent of the
king. however brilliant may have been
his services to the country. The reason
for mis- Is rather curious. The name
given you at your baptism is in theory
ratified by the sovereign as head of the
church. and by assuming another on
your own responsibility you ar1 delib-
erately breaking law Of thei land

the Oklahoma broomcorn acreage prob
ably amounted 10 100000 acres, and
this gross misrepresentation still cred
tied to me, is being published in numcr-
Gus papers throughout the West. The
speculative interests are making de-
lcrmined effort to force down the price,
regardless Of the cost Of production
and the natural relationship Of supply
and demand There is an impression
among these speculative interests that
many Oklahoma farmers ara in need of
ready cash, and that they are, there
fore, forced TO accept any price offered
ns soon ns tho crop is harvested. There
is reason To believe that the broomcorn
crop of the United States is shoyt this
year, and that, therefore, there is n
splendid opportunity for the spscula-
tor to bear the market and buy up THE
bulk OF the broomcorn at u low price
and then hold for an advance, which is
certain to come little later on. In
view OF the fact that the .broomcorn
crop in all the states oucsMe Oklahoma
is estimated to be 80 per cent short of
what IL was a year ago, the Oklahoma
broomcofn grower can well afford to
hold his crop for Il time"

For the exraemity OF the horrors Of
