OUR GREEK CRUISE

Brief Synopsis of Rev. c. w. Har-
ris' Lecture to be Delivered in
This City, Monday, Nov. 27th
Under the Auspices of the Wo-
mans Club of Minot-High
School Band to Play.
"One OF the most delightful
trips, in the world is to sail from
the bay Of Naples: cruise among
the Greek Islands, linger at Del
phi, Olympia and Athens and
then return by the lovely island
of Corfu.
Sailing from Naples the voyag-
er has in view for hours, Vesuvius,
from whose cone the smoke curls
upward as OF old. His eye trav-
els down the slope to Pompeii and
the modern, cities upon the bay,
then of across the sea to the
misty shores OF Capri, that en-
chanting isle whose blue grotto
is only one of many attractions.
The next day we have passed
Scylla and Charibdis in perfect
safety, dangers that have no ter
ror for the modern sailor and in
the late afternoon we are an
chored in a quiet bay with the
snowy peak OF Etna just above
us.
There is a mountain village on
the right-and to this we climb
for a view that has no rival in all
Italy.
When the morning dawns, we
are on the Adriatic, which, ii it
has a mind, can raise a horrible
sea. Our light boat tosses like
a cookie shell upon the water,
but the worse of days will pass,
and when once we come within
the magic charm Of the Greek
coast we find peaceful harbors
1t seems to lne there are no
more lovely bays in all the sea
coast line Of Europe than we find
here. The charm of color is
upon us. The sea is like tur-
quoise refined, the islands grow
with the rosy light OF morning,
and the hills take on a light
that makes you dream OF Para-
disc. 1t is a land of Gods, of
woodnymphs and OF fairies.

Are Ruled Out OF Court.

Arkansas City, Kan, July 13.-Judge
Hainer, sitting at Newkirk Oklahoma,
according to attorneys is the only judge
who has ever refused the courtesy
usually granted foreign attorneys of
practicing in the courts of Oklahoma.
The judge has refused that courtesy to
C. T. Atkinson and Ed. Fleming of this
city, and at present they are stopped
from doing business in the courts of
Oklahoma, There is no appeal. They
filed a motion for a change of Judges,
setting forth the grounds that Judge
Hainer was prejudiced against one of
their clients. The motion was granted,
and then the court stopped the Arkansas
City attorneys from practicing.

Old "Army' on the Firing Line.

The direct cause of the difficulty is
the idea which Chic has that the Topeka
players are unnecessarily abusive of
him. Some of the White Legs are de-
eidedly scrappy and will go for an iAdi
Gator man for almost anything. Chic
declares that he will put a stop to it.
He plans to let the cork from the bottle.
The game itself was a farce of the
first water in which Topeka lost. After
exploding on Tuesday, the big fellow
was again sent upon the firing line yes
terday at his own request. Thirteen
times did the visiting Woodpeckers drive
their beaxs into his benders and band
age on tighter their claim to good bat
ting avera ges. They did all their heavy
pounding in the fifth and sixth. In the

succession and big Nick made another

In the fifth he hit Cole, walked Quigley,

INDEPENDENTS SOLID.
Refinery and Pipe Line Projects Will
Succeed Yet.

Cherryvale. Kan, July 13.-Now
that the supreme court has rendered
the decision in which all Kansas is so
greatly interested, the tension has
been somewhat relieved. The why's
and wherefores have been discussed
at every crossroad and on every farm.
Not only have the newspapers of Kan
sas commented on the ruling, but
practically every paper in the country
has had its say on the subject.
Here in the heart of the oil country
producers are very much alive to the
situation. While the loss of the state
refinery is deplored, still it is fact
that the ruling does not affect other
LEGISLATION designed to help producers
such, for instance, as the anti-dis-
elimination law, common carrier pipe
line bill, etc.
The independent refiners and pipe
line men will stand on solid ground
just the sames. regardless of the state
refinery bill. AS a matter of fact pro-
ducers and consumers are both san
guine of the success of the Uncle Sam
refinery and, pipe lines and are assured
that the company will make good
every promise. Work is being pushed
vigorously on the Kansas City pipe
line, and in few months refinery No.
will loom up along the river at KAN
sas City.
The next move is the location of
refinery in the heart of the territorial
oil fields, with a pipe line to Cherry
vale connecting with the Kansas City
line. This indicates that the Uncle
Sam. company is planning on broad
lines, and every stakeholder is morally
certain that whatever this company
sets out to do will be accomplished.
The Uncle Sam refinery is now rum
ming and will shortly be in market
with the Uncle Sam oil. That these
will be the most popular brands of
oil ever sold in the central west, or in
the entire country, is beyond question.

was received here this afternoon from
Springfield, where the Oklahoma. City
ball team is playing, asking that a
proposition be made to Manager
Barnes to return the Oklahoma City
franchise to lola for the rest of the
season. Immediately following the
receipt of the telegram a meeting of
the local baseball fans was called and
subscription to raise the money
necessary started IT is stated on good
authority that $4,000 can be raised at
once. Word has been brought here
by players who have resigned their
places on the Oklahoma City team
which tends to show that the former
lola players are duly offended at the
treatment accorded them by their
home people.
In reply to the above article, Mr..
Atwood, the secretary of the local as
ISOLATION, said that he did not think
there was anything in the article. but
that he thinks that Milsap started the
report of the mistreatnent of the
ball players. He says that the man

trip.
The Guthrie State Capital jubilates
in this way: The Guthrie fans are
feeling good over the record of the
Guthrie baseball team the past month
and the outlook is for even better re-
suits. Since June the Guthrie Sena-
tors have played 20 games, 81 of
which were won and eight lost. max
ing a percentage of .725 for the
month. This is the best per cent
made by any other team in the league,
and the percentage of the team at the
top of the list being not over 500,
shows where the Guthrie Senators will
be if they keep up their lick. From
the bottom of the list Guthrie is now
in the first division and with the num-
Der of games for the season not quite
half played, Guthrie stands a good
show of coming out at the head of the
list.
Some more smallpox stories From
the Joplin Globe: Sunday witnessed
a cruel cut when they loaded Big Van
derhill in an ambulance and trundled
him off to keep Sammy Morris COM
pany, which, interpreted, means that
Vanderbilt has the smallpox. Morris
is due to be released today after two
weeks detention with light. case. and
true to the symptoms, it was just 4
days from the time that the Indian
was pronounced victim of smallpox
that Vanderbilt showed signs and was
hustled off to the pest house. Van
derhills attack opens up a rich field
of speculation as to just what may
come of the whole team of Miners.
Van had been rooming with Morris
and helped dress him just before it
became known that Sammy's sickness
was smallpox. Van didn't see why he
should be vaccinated and possibly lose
a wholeeweek or two with a sore arm,
and now comes the assurance that
neither has Baerwald been vaccinated,
yet he took Sammy's place as Wander
hills roommate. And Baerwald hasn't
been vaccinated. AS a result this sit
uation confronts the Miners: Best
pitcher and best catcher in hospital;
first substitute catcher a smallpox
suspect. Question: How many other
Miners have slept with Van and Baer-
valid? How long will it be till the
whole team gets it2 Hadn't President
Baker better include a vaccination or
der among his blue laws?
