Selma Flour In West Africa.

The method Of doing business is to
sell the goods on credit to the women,
who are the principal traders OF the
country, and who in turn resell 1t IN
smaller quantities. For instance the
woman trader will come along and
purchase one barrel or ten barrels OF
-four. This will be taken to her hut.
where she will peddle out the flour in
smaller quantities. her principal Gus
toners being the native bakers. who
are also women.
The principal foods OF the country
are native corn, sweet potatoes. yams.
Maintains and bananas. 1t Is through
the education of the trader that these
West Africans are coming to use and
a~ppreciate commodities which are the
necessities OF NE in this country.

for those in charge of them. The
strain on Captain Webb and Principal
Eaton, who were directly responsible,
was tremendous and continuous. 1t is
small wonder that they were pro-
foundly relieved and happy over the
successful completion of the trip. They
were happy, too, over the splendid be-
havior of the boys, as well as over the
absence of sickness or casualties.
Il cannot commend the conduct of
the cadets too highly" said Captain
Webb. Their behavior, generally
speaking. was of the highest character.
In an ordinary encampment there
would have been more cases calling for
disciplinary treatment than there were
in this. The boys were playing a mans
game. They played it like men,
Principal Eaton was equally enthuSi-
astic. II am proud of my boys" said
he. 1T has undoubtedly been the most
successful trip ever undertaken by an
organization of this character. We got
ali that we asked and a hundred per
cent more. The educational value of
the trip has been tremendous. The
boys have a better appreciation of the
greatness of their country, they are
better Americans for it. And they have
learned more in the last ten days than
they could have learned in ten weeks
of digging into their books"

No list of the injured is obtainable
at this time as telephone communica-
ton is entirely cut off from the storm
swept area and the only other means of
securing information is by stage. The
nearest point to Woodward that the
storm struck is Mutual, five miles
away. The most distant is Little Robe,
i'm Ellis county, which is fifty-five
miles southeast of this place.
Succession o. Storms.
There was a succession of tornadoes
between 3 o'clock and 10 o'clock q. m.
They appeared first in the western part
of the devastated district, and moved
toward the east The most serious re-
suits were in the vicinity of Arnett,
where fully thirty persons are believed
to have received broken limbs. Nearly
all of these victims are residents of the
farming districts.
The only town known to have been
destroyed is Wei, a postoffice in the
southern part of Woodward county,
where il Is said not a house is left
standing. Postmaster Z. A. Speck has
asked that a postOffice inspector be
sent to report on his office, which was
demolished and the contents scattered
i'm all directions.
The report eff four deaths at Arnett
includes the two at Little Robe and is
confirmed by the news that four cas-
kets have been sent overland from
Gage to Arnett, Gage being the nearest
railroad point.
Doctor Killed in Dugout.
Thrilling incidents are being related
by all who have received any informa-
ton from the storm center. Mr.. Hale.
