Two Held for Beating Aged Farmer

HAGERSTOWN. Md, August 20
Charged with murderously assaulting
Samuel Clevenger of Needmore, Pa, two
white men, who refuse to disclose their
identity, We're arrested yesterday after
noon on the George Chestnut farm, along
the line between Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania several miles northwest Of Han
cock, this county. The capture was made
by members of a posse that had been
hot on the trail of the two men since
early this morning. The prisoners were
turned over to the Pennsylvania officers
by whom they We're taken to Needmore
and later to McConnellsburg. which is
the county seat of Fulton, and lodged in
Jail. The officers say that the two men
under arrest answer in every way the
description of the two men who, about
o'clock in the morning, broke into the
home of Clevenger, at Needmore. and,
after beating the aged man into insensi-
bility, ransacked the place for money and
valuabies. So far as is known they did
not secure anything OF value, being un-
able to locate the money in the house.

Bord Now Presents 1921 MI Wuns,
With IS, 900 Others Still

NEW YORK, August 25-The simpli-
fed spelling board which started its spell.
ing reform three years ago with list OF
800 words now has published list con-
tanning 3.261 words that the board thinks
need reforming.
Every day from twenty-five to fifty
signatures come into the ONCE of the
secretary, Dr. Charles F. G. Scott. whose
owners pledge themselves to enlist in the
crusade against unrexenerative English
speech. Twenty-Five thousand OF such
signatures have been received to date,
and the officers of the board are at
present at work compiling a Manual OF
Simpiified Spelling. dealing with about
% 600 words.
The simplified spelling board has
agents wherever English is spoken. In
London two of its members have formed
lately the Sinrplified Spelling Society of
Great Britain. In Maine a state center
has been organized. and here In New
form the $1,000 signers. by means OF the
Simplified Spelling Bulletin. the new
quarterly organ of the board, into a
Simplified Spelling Alliance.
DR.. Scott Is authority for the state
ment that there are $50 periodicals In
fcrty-One states and territories which
have taken up the spelling reform to a
greater or lesser extent. Among these
eighteen dailies, twenty weeklies and
twenty-four monthlies have adopted the
list of 800 words, while two dailies, four
weeklies and five monthlies have gone
considerably farther. In New York city
six weeklies and fifteen monthlies are
using this list.
The latest list contains, in round num-
bers. LOO separate words. simplified in
the root, and 1900 infected forms, In
which the change appears only in the in
Election. 1t contains, in addition to the
former list. words having -ea- pronounced

The transfer of the supervision of the

In reply the surgeon general wrote Au-

The Failure to Utilize Home
Products Costs Us Millions

long as we send our money away to
purchase things that should be pur-
chased at home and the sooner the
people see it this way the better.
It is only within the past few years
that the people of the southwest have
begun to awaken to the realization
that they must soon find some new
supply Of cheap and sufficient build
ing material. What little timber there
was originally in that part of the Unit
ed States has been practically ex-
hausted, and much of the lumber used
comes from the south Atlantic states
or from the Pacific coast. The price
of lumber is advancing every year,
and will continue to increase inde-
finitely.
Fortunately for Oklahoma it has in
exhaustable deposits of clay, gypsum,
and Portland cement rock, and plenty
of fuel for their manufacture. Pro
fessor Gould says that these products
are inexhaustible. Gypsum is already
being manufactured into stucco and
wall plaster, and in many places TAX
ing the place of wood, particularly for
inside work. The great advantage of
gypsum for construction purposes is
the abundance of the material and the
comparatively low cost at which it
can be manufactured, The great OBJ
lection to its use is that so far no
satisfactory method of manufacture
has been found which will render it
durable for outside finish, particularly
in humid climate. As soon as this
problem has been solved gypsum plas-
ter will be in great demand and will
supply large part of cheap construc-
tion materials.
Every year clay products are COM
ing more and more into use in all
parts of the country. Not only are
brick buildings taking the place of
frame structures, but terra-cotta hol-
lowware, clay shingles and tiling are
being used in ever-increasing amounts
in buildings of all kinds.

Spokane, Wash, July 2.-William
A. Monten of Spokane has started a
personal canvass to secure 1000
signatures, representing 90 per cent
of the number of qualified electors vot-
ing, to a petition calling a special cleo
ton for October 5, to decide whether
or not the sale of intoxicating liquors
shall continue in Spokane. The city
will be voted on as unit, and it is
likely that a special vote will also be
taken in the county.
There will be a convention of rep
resentative men of ten counties in
eastern Washington in Spokane about
the middle of July, said Mr.. Monten,
"and at this time it is probable that
the plans will be outlined to make a
fight throughout the state of Washing
ton in the interest of local option. We
look to the churches to join us in the
movement and the Fourth of July
should see the campaign well under
way. We expect to win out hands

Spokane Prohibitionists
Preparing for Campaign

my interest in this campaign is not
in any way intended to discredit the
administration of Mayor Nelson S.
Pratt, for if ever Spokane had cap
able, fearless and outspoken chief ex-
ecutiye it has such an official in him.
He has enforced the law as far as he
was in position to do so, but the per-
sistent refusal of the saloon forces to
join in an effort to uphold the law is
mainly responsible for making the sa-
loon the same old institution it has
always been"
officers and members of associa-
tions, composed of saloon and cafe
owners, declare they have nothing to
fear for reason they are obeying the
laws and are routing the disreputable
barrel houses and ginneries, as well
as keeping women out Of their places.
If the people decide that statewide
prohibition is desirable they will abide
by the result, they add, but local op-
tion is an entirely different PROPOSE
ition and they will make fight on the
issue.

It is estimated that the people of
Oklahoma send half a million dollars
to Kansas every year for two products
that might just as well be manufacture
ed here at home These two pro-
ducts are pressed brick and Portland
cement. This does not take into ac-
count all the salt, and glass, and clay
products, such as pottery and tile, all
the building stone and other things
that we import from Kansas. The
brick plants, cement plants and glass
factories and stone quarries are all
located in Kansas and Kansas gets
all the taxes and all the increased
population and permits Oklahoma to
pay ali the bills. No wonder the Kan
sas banks are full of deposits. And
taxes in Kansas are about half as
much as in Oklahoma.
SO it is with Texas. About half
the gypsum plaster used in Oklahoma
comes from three mills at Quanah,
Texas. A good part of our Portland
cement and nearly half of our lime
comes from Texas. We send our
money for things which we might just
as well make at home and then Won
der why taxes are so high.
When Oklahoma county built her
magnificent court house four years
ago she sent one hundred thousand
dollars to Indiana for Bedford lime
stone, although limestone just as good
for building purposes is found in Ok
lahoma. We get fire brick from st.
Louis and terra Gotta from Chicago,
Glass sand from Illinois, although
there is plenty of it all undeveloped in
Oklahoma.
And all this time we are wondering
why we cannot get better market for
our farm products We have to learn
that the only way to have a good mar
ket is to make one, and the best way
to create market is to establish in
dustries that require a large number
of workmen. Taxes will be high as
