To Remit Storage
Thirty Day Cotton

Guthrie, Okla, July 22-Two cases
were tried before the corporation com
mission yesterday. One was to com
pei the Frisco Railroad Company to
put in a pay telephone station at
Casey on the line running from Mere
mec; the other case is a citation in
which 0. Brown OF Guthrie VS.. the
Traders Compress Company for viola.
ton Of the corporation commissions
order No. 1853. This is an order which
compels compress companies to fore
go storage charges on cotton left less
than thirty days, and fixing O. rate on
cotton left more than thirty days Mr.
Brown alleges that the company
charged .him storage on cotton after
1t had been at the compress fifteen
days. II is said that the company
maintains that this was an interstate
shipment OF cotton over which the cor
poration commission had no authority,
while Mr.. Brown alleges that a part
of the cotton was purchased on the
streets of Guthrie. Some very inter-
esting points are expected to be raised
during this trial.

IS FRIEND OF THE FARMER.
Peculiar Qualities Of the Swallow
Should Ehdear Him to All TIL.
Iers Of the Soil.

From the standpoint of the farmer
and the orchardist perhaps no birds
more useful than the swallows exist.
They have been described as the light
cavalry of the avian army.
Specially adapted for flight and un-
excelled in aerial evolutions. they have
few rivals in the art of capturing in
sects in midair. They eat nothing Of
value to man except few predaceous
wasps and bugs, and in return for
their services in destroying vast mum
bers of noxious insects ask only for
harborage and protection
1t Is to the fact that they capture
their prey on the wing that their pc
culiar value to the cotton grower is
due. Orioles do royal service in catch
ing weevils on the bolls, and black
birds, wrens, flycatchers and others
contribute to the good work. but when
swallows are migrating over the cot
ton fields they find the weevils flying
in the open and wage active war
against them. AS many as AZ adult
weevils have been found In the stom-
ach of single cliff swallow.

Of track without having killed a

AS an illustration OF h7w an lmag-
mary injury may sometimes serve TO
estrange people otherwise friendly
and how honest people are liable TO
be falsely accused. it is related OF two
young men who chanced to occupy
rooms in the same house and, in fact,
on the same floor Of that house, were
each relieved OF small amount OF
coin Wednesday night and being only
slightly known one TO the other each
entertained slight suspicion that the
ctner had had something to do with
the burglary Each Slept with. his
door open, and each claims to have
carelessly thrown his trousers on the
floor for the night With the coin, later
missing, in the pockets Of the same
One on arising yesterday morning
found his trousers in the hall and
in front of the others door; therefore,
he reckoned this man, his next door
neighbor, must have got his money
and his pocket knife, which article
also he claimed was stolen and he
proceeded TO have policeman dive
into the pockets Of the suspect to see
whether the knife especially could not
be found.
1t behooves all who have more than
80 cents in their trousers pockets to
either hang the said trousers so high
that prowling burglar cannot reach
them, or sleep with one eye open.

innocent should learn to exercise ths

New York, July 22.-In the Outlook.
Richard s. Childs urges a drastic re-
duction in the number Of elective Of
ficias in cities. counties and states,
as means of obtaining more direct
government BY the people He points
out that the average voter hardly ever
lsno#s all the Candidates on e blank
ct" ballot and shows that If minor Of
ffces were filled by appointments a
small ballot would result, containing a
few names that the voter could scan
closely
The commission plan of government
for cities. which places all municipal
affairs in the hands OF few men,
Mr. Childs indorses. because "the i'm
portance and conspicuousness of the
five commissionerships attract so
fierce limelIght at election that no
figure who ventures into
that blazing circle can hope to con
ceal his unworthiness from the eyes
OF even the most careless voter
Good government. according to the
writer, is entirely matter of getting
the right man elected.
1T is not superior intelligence in
the British electorate" he says, that
enables its uniformity to elect the best
men in town to the city councils, save
in that individual voter in the ward
selects only single officer at cleo
don and can hardly fail to know just
what he is doing.
