zation has been so active in dealing
with rogues who steal horses that
most of them are in prison and the
remainder are plum discouraged and
have been forced out of the "busi-
ness"
Now and then, however, some
horse disappears, and the association
never lets up until the animal is
found and the thief placed behind the
bars. Aside from the main object of
the association. it is prominent in
the social activities of the farmers
and stockmen of the southwest The

the turrets of the new battleships or
the New York tyue. One of these
guns has been made at the Washing
ton factory and dozen others are to
follow as rapidly. as the great lathes
can turn them out.
The gun has been tried out at the
proving ground and has shown that
it is without doubt the most powerful
naval weapon in the world.
With a muzzle velocity of 24O0 feet
a second, the shell will have a range
of about IA or Is miles. consequently
it will land far beyond the horizon
at extreme elevations. 1t might hit
a ship that the gunners could not see
a friend or an enemy, perhaps. Hence
the ordnance officers will be unusual
" careful when ships mounting these
great guns go out for target practice

Child DIES ALONE
In BURNING HOUSE

Turner, Kas., Jan. 27.-The inter.
ference of neighboring farmers who
restrained Joseph Creton and his wife,
truck gardeners, from entering their
burning home to rescue their baby
daughter, Edna. 3 years old, who died
in the flames, probably saved the
parents from like fate.
The father once succeeded in en-
tering the kitchen, but was driven
back badly burned about the face and
arms. AS the flames spread the
parents became frantic in their efforts
to enter the building. The mother
fought those who held her with an
insane fury.
The child had been left in the kitch-
en- playing on the floor, while the
mother went to call the men to dinner.
AS they were returning the flames
were seen bursting from the roof.
