That's the condition which the
average man is in concerning the
matter of Clothes.
it comes to a question of
value = material, workmanship
and the like, the average man is
hopeleSsly lost.
Yet there is no reason why a man
should suffer as result of his
ignorance in these matters; why
he should not receive value for
every dollar invested in the pur-
chase of apparel: if he but ex-
ercise little Judgment: a little
common sense,
All man need do, be he ever so
ignorant of Clothes value, is to
put himself in the hands of a
"LAMM" dealer; and clothes
troubles will be a thing of the
past.
The "LAMM" label in the gar
mentS inSures clothes satisfaction.

The South Kiowa project, Of which
we had write-up in our last issue. has
been the topic Of conversation among the
businessmen and citizens Of the CITY since
and it appeared that with the exception
OF the promoters of the scheme and some
OF their personal friends, the majority of
the people Of kiowa are not impressed |
with the idea of establishing a shipping
point and town on the state line a mile or
more away from the city and beyond tbe |
jurisdiction Of kiowa, Barber county and |
the state Of Kansas. A remonstrance |
against the new townsite project was |
circulated among the businessmen son
Wednesday and the paper was signed |
almost without exception by those 10 |
whom it was submitted.-Kiowa News

DENMARK'S POET TELLS
HOW TO LAND; IS KEPT OUT
immigration Officiais Think Petersons
Way Of Earning His Keep Is
Too precarious.

NEW YORK. June 11.--Denmark's
poet, William Petersen, is the unhap-
piest man in the world. When the Os-
car H.. OF the Scandinavian Line,
sailed IL took Petersen to Copenhagen
free OF cost.
For more than twelve years the
poet has lived in New York, and was
liked by all the Scandinayians here.
In fact, whenever there was we'd
ding, a coming of age or any social
event Petersen was commissioned 10
write poem or song for the occasion.
In this way he has made his rent and
his living.
Ii was while he was returning to
New York on the Oscar H. week ago
that he delivered a great Memorial
Day grafton aboard and composed
poem that would inspire an Anarchist
with feelings OF loyalty TO America.
The burden Of the poem was mes
sage to his countrymen telling then:
TO remember that upon their conduct
rested the respect in which Scandi-
navians are held by Americans, and Ia
asking them TO give rousing cheer
for the land of the free. Petersen gave
his fellow voyagers sound advice as TO
the best way to land here.
America and How TO Succeed
There" was the title OF his address,
the second chapter Of which was en-
titled How TO Land on Foreign Soil
Whether Known or Unknown" OF
the $50 passengers that arrived on the
Oscar H., Petersen-Denmark's Peter
sen--was the only one 10 be deported.
He Is more than so years OF age
and never declared his intention. dur
ing his twelve years stay here, OF be-
coming an American citizen. In the
opinion of the immigration authori-
ties, Petersen's way OF earning his
keep is too precarious for a man OF his
years. and marking his papers Il. p.
& likely TO become public charge
they told him that as his capital was
only s24 he would have 10 go back
with the Oscar.

THREE DEAD, TWO DYING FROM
DRINKING WOOD ALCOHOL
Drunken csroussl In Little Village IN
Wexford County Has Fatal
Termination.

CADILLAC. Mich, June ia. l.
McCasgill, aged So; Will Martin. aged
81, and George Teachout. aged p. are
dead, and Clarence Smith and Lee
White are In a dying condition as the
result OF drinking wood alcohol as
finish to a two-weeks' drunk at the
little village of Meauwataka. four
miles from this city. Teacbout and
Smith live in Meauwataka, the others
In this city.
McGasgill operated a soft drink es'
Establishment and when he went home
from this city Friday he took four gal
ions OF whisky. The supply ran out
Saturday evening. and In moment Of
distraction McGasgill conceived the
idea OF mixing wood alcohol with
sugar water and red pop TO complete
the nights carousal. Fifteen men and
boys drank the stun. McGasgill died
during the night, followed at four
hours intermission each by Martin
and Teachout.
Sheriff Evans SCOTS at the story
that Teachout may have had designs
on the life Of McGasgill, who is sup
posed TO have made will leaving his
property TO sister Of Teachout, and
declares that the stuff was handed out
by McGasgill and Martin. who were
too drunk to realize the true nature OF
the mixture. The stun was part OF
what had been used TO furnish the
light Tor q moving picture machine.
