st Kansas City in 1900 from the In
dian Territory, a delegate at large
from the state of Oklahoma to the
Denver convention in 1908, and was
an ardent Bryan supporter and as
sisted in his nomination at both con-
ventions.
He has always been an active fight
ing and aggressive democrat. He was
a Jim Hogg" democrat in Texas be-
fore he moved to the Indian Territory
and became a Bryan" democrat in
1896. He has made success of all his
undertakings, and knows no such word
as fail. As farmer boy, school
teacher and as a lawyer he was sue.
cessful. For twenty years he has
ranked as one of the leading lawyers
of Oklahoma From 1906 to 1910 he
was chairman of the democratic state
committee of Oklahoma, and during
that time conducted the campaign for
the adoption of the constitution, the
campaign for the election Of the first

sociation, IN which DR.. Kings article
appears, considers the situation one
of utmost seriousness. 1t says edi-
torially. 1T is time to face the situa-
tion soberly but with full apprecia-
tion of what is in store for us Our
ports on the gulf and Atlantic coast
are to a considerable degree rat in
tested II plague infected rats should
be introduced into any of our costal
cities, it would be difficult, and in
the opinion OF some, an impossible
task to prevent the gradual extension
of the disease in this country Plague
still exists on the Pacific coast. Six
teen infected ground squirrels have
been found in California during one
week in June. The opening of the
Panama Canal Will unquestionably in
crease the danger, while the possibil-
ity of such infection over the Mexi-
can border cannot be overlooked. We
do not wish to appear as alarmists,
but we feel it desirable to recognize
the situation as one of great gravity,
worthy the earnest attention of ma
ton and state officials. The general
public should be made definitely aware
of the plague and should be urged to
cooperate in the difficult, costly and
tedious but absolutely necessary meas
ures of prevention. Thorough methods
may prevent the plague from getting
a foothold In the United States. and
those responsible should at once take
up the necessary work"

GYP BELONGS TO
THE DOGS UNION
Works on TreadmiII Each Week and
Is Anxious to Get
Busy.

Charles Klein, farmer, five miles
east of Edwardsville, ILL.,, owns dog
that does the family washing and
churns butter three times each week.
Klein says he would not sell Gyp, the
dog, at any price. The motive power
is furnished through a treadmill in
which the dog spends several hours
on four days week.
/ Klein has a liking for mechanics
and designed and built the treadmill
himself. Several weeks were occu-
pied in the construction, so it would
be equally balanced to lessen the
load. Through his ingenuity the parts
are so well balanced that Gyp cannot
walk in it until the loaded machine
has been connected up.
On Monday morning Gyp is out of
bed before the family is up. If they
are late he barks until some one
orders him to stop. He dances around
on the ground, barking necessarily
while the wash is being prepared.
With everything ready he takes his
place and before noon the wash is on
the line. On three other days Gyp
does the churning.
