Airships for the Army.
The army Is already looking beyond
the simple balloon, the dirigible and like
contrivances for floating about in the air,
to the more scientific aeroplane, and the
chief signal officer will soon issue propos-
ais calling upon American inventors to
submit plans for a practicable machine,
heavier than air, to be used instead of
balloon for military purposes. Within
the past few weeks the board of ordnance
and fertilization has had before it one
of the Wright broth rs and Israel Lud-
low, the form ar one of the few living men
who have successfully navigated an actual
aeroplane, and the latter an inv !ntor who
mas given almost his life and become a
physical wreck in the cause of aerial navi-
cation. The result of these hearings, sup
plemented by such information as the
board was able to collect from the mil
itary attaches in Europe and from SCI
entifc publications in this country, was
the issue of an instruction to the chi #
signal officer to endaavor to secure plans
for a practicable aeroplane through an
open appeal to inventors. The War De-
partment has not hesitated to invite the
cooperation and advice of certain writer's
who have come to be regarded as author
tiles on the subject of flying machines and
aero-dromics generally The beginning of
experimentation in the direction of aero
planes will not. 1t is stated, interfere with
the War Department plans now in execu-
ton for the training of selected men in
the use of balloons nor with the prof ected
construction of at least two dirigible air.

LITTLE BABY
CURED OF ECZEMA
Parents Applied to Hospitals and
Doctors but Could Get No Re-
lief-Grew Worse Under Doctors
Prescription - Friends Recon-
mended Cuticura Result
A SPEEDY AND
PERMANENT CURE

ave express to you herewith our best
thanks for the cure of our baby from
eczema. The eczema appeared when
the child was three months old. We
applied TO several doctors and hospitals,
each of which gave US something differ
ent every time, but nothing brought re-
lief A physician recommended salve
which we threw into the fire after two
days use as the eczema became worse
so that the baby scratched his face. At
last, one Of our friends recommended to
us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment. A few days afterwards improve
ment could be noted. Since then we
have used nothing but Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment, and now the
baby is six months old and is quite cured.
All that we used was one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and two boxes Cuticura Oint-
ment, costing in all SIPS. Even the
poorest man can pay that instead Of
throwing it into the doctors lap. 1
myself only make twelve dollars a week
as teamster, but l recommend the
Cuticura Remedies strongly to all moth
ers whose children suffer from such dis
eases. They are cheap, harmless and
good. @. +. Kara and Wife, 343 East

The Democrat presents for the
consideration of it's Democratic
readers the name of o. Draper,
of Apache, for the office of Sheriff
having helped TO stake off the
town of Apache where he is now
serving for the fourth year as
city marshal. He is a thorough
bred Democrat and has never
bolted his ticket; if he secures
the nomination in the primary or
is beaten, he expects to do his
best for the success of the party
in the campaign.
Mr.. Draper has had some ex-
perience during his service as n
peace officer il Apache, which
show that as far as courage Is a
qualification, he is a good man
for that place. Horse thieves
know better than to come into his
territory, as he is tireless and un'
remitting in pursuing them.
He has garnered in four of their
professions within the last eight
months, besides other lawbreak-
ers.
o. Draper's work in the line of
duty is like his Democracy above
question. Upon these two quail
fications. he comes before the
Democratic voters, and promises
that if honored by their electing
him to the office he seeks, he vii
give them such a faithful per-
formance of the duties of county
sheriff a. will make them wei
pleased with their vote.

The Trade Current

The visit of the Chicago
commercial embassy sug-
gests TO us again the fact
that the trade of the future
will flow to the Gulf ports,
and the new transcontinen-
tai railways will run north
and south. Oklahoma in the
path of the innumerable
caravans OF commerce bound
to South America and the
Far East, will become great
and increasingly prosperous
as the years grow into de-
cades. The hamlets in Ok
lahoma will grow into towns
in these days and the towns
into shining cities. The
plains but u few years ago
no more than wildernesses,
viii blossom as the rose. Our
rivers winding their dusky
courses through growths Of
cottonwood and tangles Of
vines and reed, will churn to
the whirl of the paddle wheel
and their silence of u thous-
and years give place to the
screaming Of the steamboat
whistle. The small merchant
in our town and in towns
like it will be the merchant
prince as the years 60 on.
Improved farming methods;
deep waterways; the Panama
canal to change the trade
current, and the develope-
ment of those mineral re-
sources of value uncounted
and beyond imagination,
which the constitution Sc
cures to the state, these are
the things that will make
the 46th star in our nation
al constellation more glor-
ious than those others whose
light now brightens the
world.
