An attack upon Puerto cortez BY
the revolutionary gunboat Hornet is
expected. Several hundred govern
ment troops arrived from Tegucigal-
pa. Fighting has already begun at
Lasquabrados, according to reports.
Following rumors that the United
States crusier Tacoma had sighted the
Hornet the American consul at the
instance of Commander Davis, OF the
Tacoma, warned all Americans to re-
main indoors If trouble starts.

in the harbor, but the two one-pound-

use in defending the town against al
attack by the Hornet, which Is re-
ported as having four 6-inch modern
rifles and three machine guns. The
Tatumbla is not considered seawor-
thy.

mean that land attack is expected

All There In Ten Days

Oklahoma City, OKLA, Dec. 81
Within ten days every state ofiA2e
will be located in On. homa CITY.
This is according to the opinlon
emanating from the offices of Gov
c. n. Haskell, where the knowing
ones are cougregated. and is con
CURED in by large majority OF the
officials themselves, many of whom
visited Oklahoma City, Friday, in
search Of possible quarters.
The old high school building will
be used by as many officials as can
be adequately accommodated trere
The governor secretary of State,
state treasurer, state auditor, attor-
ney general, and the other subsidiary
departments will have their Offices in
this building. On the ground floor
will be the Office OF the governor,
secretary of state, staie treasurer
and attorney general The Offices OF
the capitol commission, which viii
he appointed by Governor Haskell
soon, will be on the second floor
One OF the problems confronting
7 the citizens committee is the secur-
ing OF suitable quarters for the
court wita the state library. II IS
necessary that these three depart
ments be in the same building, and
as handy to each other as possible.
Trose Offices not in the old high
school building will be in one Of the
down town Office buildings, probably
the Colcold or State National bank
building The corporation commits
sion and one or two other depart
ments are selt-sustaining and there
lnote 1ily lheir own rent and select
their own quarters. Corporation
Commissioner A. p. Watsos practic
\ ally removed his part of the records
from Guthrie Friday. The Offices
likely will be in the Colcord building
The legislature will meet, as dun
ing the special session, in the Levy
building. These quarters were gen
orally satisfactory TO the members
while in the city asr month. Proyi
sions adequate will be made for 1
larger number of committee rooms Of
the third floor Of the building. I'll,
board of public affairs may be guar
tered in the Insurance building, ncal
the Office of the state election boar'
and the old Offices OF the state cap
itol commission.

THOUGHTS FROM THE COUNTRY PRESS

The Davenport Tribune is responsible for the story
of farmer that walked 521 miles to plant his eighty
acres of wheat He sold the wheat and moved to town
and has walked 900 miles trying to find job and still
walking" It is not always bad that but you can
rest assured that it is bad enough.
1t is argued that farmers have to bear the
greater part of the expenses of running the
government and to make the greater part of the
produce, from which the trusts horde up millions
of idle dollars and the farmer himself having realized
this has left the country and movedt the CITY, Wheth
that or something else is responsible for the men
and women living comfortably farms moving to the
city, verify doeth not know, but something is
sponsbe for it and whatever that something shond
be remedied.

good TO whiten the hands? Ny hands

knuckles is so loose and habby. have

Thanking you. N. ]. G..
1t is very difficult TO keep the hands
smooth and white when doing all
kinds of homework. Here is an ex-
cellent remedy for whitening the
hands: Put a few drops of lemon juice
into the white of N egg. II a lemon

the hands at night, letting 1t dry on.
The following remedy is a good one
for softening the hands: Take one
dram of cubebs. one and one-haif
ounces of glycerine. one-half ounce
spirits of camphor and one dram ex-
tract Of heliotrope. Rub this on the
hands or retiring and wear a loose
pair of old kid gloves.

Jean was eying him like an animal.
His voice was ow.

With a deep breath Rowland sank
back. In a moment he leaned again
toward Jean as he saw come into the
Frenchnan's eyes a ~slumbering fire
that a few seconds later blazed into
vengeful malignity when he drew slow
ly from an inside pocket of his coat a
small parcel wrapped and tied in soft
buckskin.
"They have sent you this, M'seur,"
he said. AT the very last they told
me, let him read this"
With his yes on the parcel, scarcely
breathing, Rowland waited while with
exasperating slowness Croisset's brown
fingers united the cord that secured it.

this meant TO us in the North, M'seur,"
