Will DRAG THE ROADS.

John McGrew circulated a paper
around the square the past week and
got los business men to agree to pay
the expenses of dragging the roads
leading to Holton. The plan is to have
go miles of road dragged as often
is is necessary to keep the highways
in good shape. Each signer agrees to
pay not to exceed one dollar per
month or his proportion of the ex-
pense.
Teams will be hired to do the work
and after every rain. The estimated
cost is SO cents per mile or total
of $50 for the so miles each time the
work is done. If dragging is done
once a month, each signer is assessed
about rs cents.
Mr.. McGrew says he will have the
dragging done the first time and then
will call a meeting for the organiza-
ton of COMMUNICATIONS Re-
corder.

ANOTHER DISCOVERY.

Perhaps you have forgotten Upton
Sinclair, he of 1.-THE Jungle which
burned up Packingtown, and later of
Helicon hall. which was itself burned.
Or perhaps you would like to forget
him and can't For here he comes
again with a discovery, more startling
than anything to be found in 1.-The
Jungle" and infinitely more pleasant.
From previous efforts you have likely
inferred there was something wrong
with Upton's digestive apparatus. and
in this you were right But it Is all
right now, and he may, in future, deal
with more pleasant topics than healthy
young men converted into pure leaf
lard. And 1t is all because of the dis
covery: not the discovery of the pole,
but Upton's own, which is vastly more
important, he says. He has found by
careful research, and that remarkable
accuracy which always character1zes
his efforts. that 95 per cent or the
cooking evil. Raw foods are the thing,
and he has partaken OF nuts. and
fruits, fresh and dried, but always
raw. and has waxed buoyant and rosy.
There is no gloom on his horizon, and
he will build another Helicon hall, but
this one Is to be devoted to children
who will be fed on Sinclair ideas and
raw food And anyone who can stand
the first will thrive on the latter, no
doubt. And an ungrateful world VIII

BY A. W. L,AMoURoUx.

parfs. Dec, lS.--One result of the steniheil case will be the reform of Erench Judicial procedure. M. Bar thou, the Minister of Justice, IS cred ited with the intention of introducing . Dill to Parliament which will embody certain changes. In tae meantime M. Thopiteau, deputy, has deposited a scheme. The French procedure will be assimiIated to the English. The interrogatory of the judge will be suppressed. The burden of the prose- cution will fall upon the Procureur- General or his representative, the Adyocat-General; the judge will have nothing to do with that. his duty be- ing merely to weigh the evidence and to examine the witnesses if counsel fails to elicit the facts. As his right to sum up has already been taken away from him, the president of the court will find his role reduced to the restricted one of arbitrator.
 The extraordinary feature of the Steinheii trial was the manner In which the witnesses contradtcted themselves. In no one cas did they maintain the statements they are sup- posed to have made before the Judge dInstruction." The magistrates court room was a regular market-place, 1t seems. while the instruction was be-
 
 went out. witnesses chatted together. and the place had all the air and hustle of some genial commercial centre, instead of a chamber reserved Fer the secrets of justice.
 This preliminary examination of the accused and of witnesses is also in khe melting pot. M. Mequillet. deputy for the Department of Meurthe ct Mo- selle, has laid on the table of the House of Projet de Loi giving nesses, in this preliminary examina- tion. the right to employ counsel. Re- form is already zen marche" before even the bill has been discussed by e Chamber of Deputies. At q case which was heard in Paris recently--a case oi no particular interest. involving a charge of robbery and the receiving of stolen goods--the judge abandoned the usual interrogatory of the eriso- ner and left the case to the prosecutor and the defence. The Avocat-Generai ai recognized, in the course of the hear ing, that there was no case and the two prisoners benefited by the doubt.
 There Is yisibly an anti-Steinhetl campaign in a certain section of the press. Its most active exponent is the implacable Henri Rochefort. who at- tacks the "veuve tragique" every eth ST day in his leading article in La Patries M Rockefort asks why Mime. steinheii has found no time to visit the tombs of her husband and her mother, both of whom she professes to have adored.

USE MANY MATCHES

Washington Herald.
 By the end of the brief minute taken to real these lines the nations of the civilized world will have struck 100000 matches. This is the average for every minute of the twenty-four hours of the day. Seven billion Is the number for each year. and those living under the American flag are said to be responsible for the con sumption of one-half of this amount.

 Small and insignificant as 1t is. the match demands perhaps as much att ftention, iRl thss choice of the wood going into Its manufacture as any sother, forest product. Only the choicest portions of tho best trees are suitable. Sapwood, knotty, or cross-grained timber will not do. In- stead of being a by-product of other articles of manufacture. the little match is turned out by hundreds of mills over the, country where the by products are bulky objects like doors. sash. shingles. siding. posts. and cord wood. Pine. linden. aspen. white cedar poplar. birch, and willow are the most suitable match timbers.
 Timber Is Dysfndling.
 The matchmakers--not the matri- monial kind--are already finding that the amount of choice timber available Is dwindling. Forests conservation. if applied to the holdings of the match companies, as it Is on Uncle Sam's national forests in the West. will do much to make the supply sufficient for a longer number of years than would be the case if the old-time wasteful numbering methods of few years ago should continue.
 Tho rapid increase in stumpage prices is one of the chief factors in encouraging the wise use of the for ests where suitable match timber is available.

 It is not too late to put in Q little more grain for the next years crop. The dry weather retarded the plant ing, of course but planters should bc sure that the high price of cotton will have nothing to do with curtailine the grain crop.
 Georgia farmers can make as much cotton as they ought to after they have made all the grain Georgia needs; and Georgia will need good deal of grain to feed the horses, mules, cattle, hogs, and poultry, to say noe thing about the hominy pot and the hoecake.

So Decides Jury in Police Court Defendant Dis
miSSed--D Doubtful Whether The Ordinance
Can Be Amended

That it is not unlawful to run free
shows in Chickasha on Sunday was
the construction placed on the Sum
day closing ordinan'se by the jury be-
fore whom Jim McRae. one! Of the
pEpprietors of the Chronophone Thea.
ter, was tried in police court yester-
day afternoon.
The chronophone gave a free natl
nee Sunday afternoon and the arrest
followed.
City Attorney Herr represented the
city in the trial Of the case and Law
renee Mills appeared for the defend
ant. The facts in the case were adj
mitted and the only question was as
to the construction OF the ordinance.
1t was contended by the defense that
there was no violation OF the law un-
less there were charges for admission
to the play houses. The entire va
lidity of the Sunday ordinance was
also attacked, on the ground that the
mayors signature was not attached
to the copy engrossed in the ordinance
book.
Mr.. Herr is being beseiged by those
who oppose Sunday theaters, asking
that he prevent any further perform
ances. but under the present ordinance
he admits that he is up a. tree. He
thinks 1t will have to be amended be-
fore free Sunday shows can be stopped
and he will lay his troubles before the
council 1t is doubtful, howver, wheth-
er that body would vote to strength
er the law, since Il was only few
months ago that only the mayors veto
prevented the repeal Of the Sunday
ordinance.
