THE ESTRAY LAW AGAIN

Y
1t has been the practice of this
paper to look after the registering and
filing of taken up notices for those
sending them in, and to charge an ad-
ditional fee of fifteen cents, which
barely covers the cost of postoffice fees
and stationery. This is added to the
statute fee, making 1915 cents for
each notice. The law as to number OF
animals entitled to be charged with adj
Ivertising fees is blind and some pub.
fishers demur at printing a list of a
half dozen to twenty head for three
dollars. They should refuse to do this.
Descriptions Of a number of animals
may run to a quarter of a column, and
the law does not contemplate such a
service for SO. AS the charge for keep
ing dozen head is more than for one,
so the advertising fee should be pro-
portioned to the space and time con.
sumed in advertising. Often a bunch
may be embraced in a brief description
and come within the statutory price.
If not, two or more punches should
be made. The law should be modified
to provide for so much a head for ad.
Ivertising, as for pasturage and winter
ing.
ing, and all the fuss of registry and
filing with auditor could be avoided. In
practice this paper runs the notices of
taken up three weeks and then in the
course of time sends in the notices
that have accumulated to the state
office, and files similar copies with the
auditor. A copy of the paper with the
10
is sent the official estray paper, the
Sentinel at Cooperstown. This is sta
tutory, but is part only of the print
er's business. He may overlook this
for week or a month, being human
but so far we have had no serious
trouble from this source. STILL a case
might be raised in which failure to
comply promptly could be made an
noying. 1t is better to look after these
small matters with promptness, as
valuable property might easily be in
ivolved.
The Immediately preceding COM
ments are not backed by the statute
but those which state the duties OF
takers up are the substance of the
law, and their observance will keeI
you from making mistakes.
| Those taking up animals should re
! fleet that attempting to save some one
the advertising fees by holding back
the notice a month or so or longer
than the ten days statute period, will
IN case Of work horses especially
cause the owner to lose in time anC
money spent in searching, ten times
the price of the advertisement. Over
and over again this has been demon
strated. A farmer who needs his team
to pillow with, hay or harvest, would
rather pay two or three fees than tt
lay out Of his team two weeks, or ever
one, sometimes. OF course, this is sup.
posing he reads the county paper. anc
If he does not he is entitled to M
sympathy for any loss that failure
may bring him. In these days a mar
ought to try and keep some track o.
what his neighbors are doing in tn,
way of advertising.

PRESS ANNOYANCE AT
OVERSIGHT.

Washington, July lit has just
leaked out that the members of the
senate committee appointed to probe
tie Gore charges, in which bribery was
alleged in connection with Oklahoma
Indian contracts, expressed great an
noyance Monday when it dawned on
them that they had not been provided
with funds to defray the cost of their
labors. When the resolution of inquiry
was passed Saturday night Senators
Hale and Hughes stated that no APP
preparation was desired. This evil
IDENTIFY escaped the notice Of Senator
Jones Of Washington and the other
members of the committee. The COM
mittee, therefore, has the authority to
make an investigation, but the where
withal is lacking. Accordingly the
committee will not meet until con-
gress assemblies in December.
Despite the thoughtlessness of the
senate, there will be an inquiry into
Indian affairs in Oklahoma The
house, in creating it's committee of in
curry, gave 1t broad powers as well as
fnuds with which to make it's re-
searches. No direct appropriation was
made, but the house resolution pro-
vided that all the expenses of the COM
mittee should be paid out of the house
contingent fund, and this is ample for
all the purposes of the committee.
Data is now being prepared in the
interior department for the use of the
house committee. Copies of all con-
tracts made with the Oklahoma In
dams, including those of J. P. McMur-
ray, Ormsby McHarg and many others,
will be placed in the hands of the COM
mittee.
Western members conversant with
Indian affairs express the belief that
the approaching inquiry will result in
the Oklahoma Indians being deprived
Of counsel whose services are confined
to practice before the interior depart
ment and congressional committees.
Western members and government Of
ficials believe that the interests of the
Indians will be subserved if the reds
are denied the right to retain counsel.

How to Cure Eczema, Pimples
b and Dandruff

| We desire to say that when we took
the agency for ZEMO, we were con-
WINGED that it was a valuable remedy
for Eczema, pimples and dandruff. Yet
we must frankly admit that Zemo has
far exceeded our expectations as a.
treatment for skin diseases. We are
pleased to state that we shall continue
the agency as ZEMO has given splen-
did results wherever recommended.
lOur customers like ZEMO, too. be-
cause it is a clean vegetable liquid for
external use.
| ZEMO effects it's cures by drawing
TO the surface of the skin and de-
stroying the germ life that causes the
disease, leaving the skin clear and
healthy. 1t does not soil the clothing
or linen and can be used freely on in
fants.
! With every purchase we give a
booklet on skin diseases, explaining in
simple words how any person can be
cured at home of any form of skin or
scalp diseases by this clean, scientific
remedy. Fout g. Porterfield, Druggists.

Adams County to Grow Rice.

Adams county may embark in the
culture of rice on a small scale in To-
calities where the lands can be easily
irrigated, and whatever rice is grown
there could be milled at the central
mill at Vidalia
The appearance of the boil weevil
is largely responsible for so many cot
ton plantations being converted into
rice fields, and the diversification of
crops in general in north Louisiana.
Unfortunately, the production of rice
will not give employment to as much
labor as cotton, but this will be little
or no drawback to this locality, since
so large proportion of the negro
population have left it for rich cotton
lands of the Delta country, north of
here, in Mississippi and Arkansas.

ADJUSTMENTS
"GRAUSTARK."

"Graustark," the magnificent pro-
duction under the direction of Messrs.
Baker & Castle, which was the hit of
last season in New York and Chicago,
is taken from George Barr McCutch-
cons romantic and thrilling story of
a love behind throne, in which
typical American hero defies the ira
dition hedging old world royalty and
wins the hand of the Princess he
loves, lends itself advantageously to
dramatic purposes, and the pretty
stage pictures and romantic and he
roic spoken dialogue arouse. the pa
triotic pride and quicken the popular
pulse even more than the printed
words.
"Graustark" is strong in heart in
terest and is doubly strong in ex-
plotting that spirit of Yankee indie
pendence and Yankee pluck that al
ways appeal to the hearts of loyal
Americans. This spirit is exemplified
in the play and novel of Grenfall Lor-
ry of the U. S. A., who, after meeting
the princess of "Graustark" near Den
yer, follows her across the ocean ig-
norant of hey rank and title, and by
Harry Anguish, young artist, who
makes it plain to the barons and
princes in the Graustark Court that
an American citizen is every whit as
good as a man with a title That
these two characters are popular it
goes without saying.
The character of the Princess, who
fights against the dictates of her
heart and stands ready to sacrifice
her love for the young American on
the altar of duty and the welfare
of her country, is cleverly drawn, re-
vealing the true woman behind the
mask of royalty.

Natchez, Miss, March 9.-It is now
a settled fact that the rice mill pro-
posed in north Louisiana will be a
central one, will be located at Vidalia,
La, which offers superior advantages
for the purposes. All of Concordia
and Tensas parishes will be largely
cultivated in the cereal, several hun
dreds of acres of which have already
been planted, and making finely, and
more will be put in until this section
of north Louisiana, especially the east
ern portion, will vie with the south
ern portion, where the cereal has been
cultivated so successfully for very
many years past.
j. E. Moser, of Texas, who owns a
large rice mill in that state, has been
prospecting hereabouts for some time
and has finally come to the conclusion
to locate his mill at Vidalia. The town
is on the river bank, having several
lines of railroads radiating from it,
and this, with the water transporta-
ton facilities, make it an almost ideal
place for the central location of a
mil.
