Napor Treatment
For Catarrh

The HYOMEI vapor treatment is es-
pecially recommended in stubborn
cases Of chronic catarrh of long stand
ing. but remember that the inhaler
should be used daily as usual.
This treatment only takes "a few min
ntes' time before going to bed. Pour a
scant teaspoonful Of HYOMEI into a
kitchen bowl of boiling water, cover
head and bowl with towel and breathe
for several minutes the vapor that
arises.
You will be surprised at the results
OF this treatment; it makes the head
feel fine and clear; you will sleep bet
ter. and that stuffed up feeling will
gradually disappear.
This method is also used to break up
the worst cold in the head over night.
A bottle Of HYOMEI pronounce it
High-o-me) costs so cents at druggists
everywhere. Complete outfit which in
cludes the little pocket inhaler 81.
No stomach dosing; just breathe
HYOMEI and end catarrh and all dis
eases Of the breathing organs.

SUPPLY OF GAS
An Oklahoma Company Sues to Keep
Gas in the State.

Muskogee, Okla, Aug. 29.-The Lam
yon-Starr Smelling company at Bartles-
vile has an important bearing on the
natural gas supply being drawn from
Oklahoma fields by Kansas City and
large cities in Kansas. The suit is
against the Henry Oil company and
the Henry Gas company and seeks a
permanent injunction to prevent the
defendant companies selling natural
gas to the Kansas Natural Gas com
pany until the defendant companies
have furnished to the plaintiq company
and two others Is million feet of gas
daily as per a present contract.
The allegation is made that the de-
PENDANTS have served notice that they
will discontinue the supply now being
furnished the plaintiff. It is charged
that the purpose of the gas producing
companies is to disregard their con-
tracts to furnish gas to the smelling
company and others who have con-
tract price of less than five cents per
thousand feet, and sell to the Kansas
Natural Gas company, for much
higher figure. It is the contention OF
the plaintiff that there is a movement
on the part Of the producers to sell
their output to the Kansas company
because they can get a higher rate
than their contract rate with the Okla
homa companies. The result of the
suit will have an important bearing
on the natural gas supply of Kansas
City, Topeka and Wichita

ALFALFA BILL ON
HAY PLATFORM
viii Speak From a Platform Made Of
Bales Of Alfalfa.

Guthrie, okla, Aug. 29-~When Will
liam H. Murray, the Sage Of Tlsho-
mingo," delivers his address before the
people of Guthrie and Logan county,
Saturday evening of this week he will
stand on platform made of alfalfa
bales with sprigs and punches of all
falfa as the decorations around him.
This was decided today by the com,
mittee having charge of the three days
union labor picnic Saturday, Sunday
aad Labor Day.
When Murray was president Of the
constitutional convention in 19O6-07,
he was an eyer-consistent advocate for
the adoption Of alfalfa as the state
floral emblem. It was his work that
led to the naming of Alfalfa county,
and also that resulted in the nickname
that is still standing by him in his
political campaign, Alfalfa Bill"-he
win never lose 1t.
There is no doubt that the agita-
ton in favor of alfalfa, started by Mr.
Murray during the constitutional con-
ventlon days, resulted to great ex-
tent In Oklahoma being such an adj
vanced alfalfa growing state today"
is the statement of J. A. Farquhar-
son, president Of the Logan county far
mers institute.
nMurray's agitation came just at a
time when the farmers of the state
We're commencing to break QUITO get
away from cotton, corn and wheat and
back to other things that might be
profitable as farm products. Along
came alfalfa Bill, about this time
and he made alfalfa well enough
known to interest the farmers. They
Investigated and today Oklahoma is
one of the leading alfalfa growers Of
the entire country"
One dozen bales Of fresh alfalfa hay
Twill compose the platform on which
Murray win stand while speaking 1t
will be hauled to Mineral Wells Park
tomorrow and arranged by the time
Mr.. Murray arrives In this connec-
ton, 1t might be added that Logan
county is harvesting the biggest al
falfa crop OF her history this season,
as there have already been three cut
tings and in some instances there win
be two more It is proving the most
profitable crop grown here

PARCELS POST TO
Be READY JAN. |
Postal Authorities Are Now Working
Out Details of New system-An
Entirely New System.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Announce-
ment was made by Postmaster General
Hitchcock last night that the post Of
flee department would be in readiness
on January /, 1913 to put into general
operation the recently authorized par
cells post system.
The postal express business, which
must be organized within the next
four months, will extend over more
than a million miles of rural delivery
and star routes and will cover in its
various ramifications all systems of
the parcels express now handled by
private express companies
In order to take up personally and
Immediately the work of organization
of the new service, Mr.. Hitchcock has
cancelled engagements he had made
for his vacation and will remain in
Washington to direct the organization.
The details of the parcels post system
will be worked out by series of COM
mittees composed of officers and ex-
perts of the department. The general
executive committee appointed today
consists Of Chief Inspector Robert S.
Sharp, superintendent J G. Koons, OF
the division of salaries and allow
ances Chief Clerk A. A. Fisher of
the general bureau, and D. f. Wood
of the division of rural matters.
First of ALL" said Mr. Hitchcock,
must be prepared classification of
articles that can be accepted for de-
livery by the parcels post. The law
admits to the mail practically all kinds
of merchandise that can be transport
ed safely, including the product of the
farm and garden as well as other
products, provided such articles do
not weight more than II pounds nor
exceed ~ inches in combined length
and girth. The mode of packing will
be prescribed carefully The present
equipment of the mail service is not
adapted to the carriage of such mer-
chandise and, therefore, new equip
ment must be provided. 1t is likely
we shall employ, extensively hampers
similar to those used in foreign coun-
tries, in handling parcels post. The
style, size and material for such ham
pers must be determined and adyer-
tisements issued for their purchase.

The county fairs again! Dobbin will
be biting the well gnawed rail along
the ract track Blushing Dorothy will
be bashfully presenting her heavily
splashed oil painting to the fine arts
committee az the exhibition hall.
Serene faced Grandma will have the
quilt done in Fifty-six, which makes
modern machine pattern embroidery
loow so stupid. Meanwhile Corn
tassel, Jr, choking under collar of
unwonted height will be striving to
push the strength tester to a hitehto
unrecorded mark.
Theoretically, it is farmers con-
gress, for exchange Of information
about land cultivation.
Actually, you can't hold the young
blood of the farm about the cattle
sheds, when Prof silyertongue is de-
scribing the dancing OF Little Egypt
fair as a lily, fleeting as fawn,' nor
when the persuasive vendor Is offer
ing gold watches for % cents, with a
chance Aat a shot gun thrown in.
The many people who wish these
fairs could once more be educational
are disheartened by the few auditors
that listen to the agricultural college
professor, and the yelling hosts that
watch the 21O class.
1t is well for them to remember that
the farmer is a creature Of eyes
rather than books and lecture halls
/ He may be bewildered by long form
ulas Of fertilizers repeated by the glib
I tongue of the professor
! But place on a bench the fat ears Of
corn produced by having the correct
fertilizer, and beside it the tbin, lank
and hungry ears that went with the
wrong fertilizer. Every farmer on
the grounds will see it before he
bitches up Dobbin for the long drive
home. And he'll tell the others about
it next time he goes to the grocery.
People who make fun of the sup
posed rustic character of the county
fair should know that cattle show
has slicked UP nightly since fashion
cuts began to circulate about the coun
try districts. There you see the up
to-date country girl, and there ism
a finer specimen afoot She has gone
just far enough in the world to know
what taste in dress can do, not SO fal
as 10 think the paint brush is mightiel
than flesh and blood

THIRTY MILLIONS
IN AUTOMOBILES

Thirty million dollars worth of
American automobiles found markets
abroad last year, against less than l
million dollars worth ten years ago.
Figures just completed by the division
OF statistics of the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce show that the
exports of automobiles to foreign coun-
tries, in the fiscal year 1912 were yalu-
ed at 21ls million dollars, and of parts
thereof, including tires, 6% million dol
lars. If to this were added the ship
ments to Hawaii and Porto Rico, we
get for the years sales of American
automobiles outside of continental
United States round 80 million dol
lars, since the value of automobiles
and parts thereof sent to Porto Rico
wos nearly ! million dollars and to
the Hawaiian Islands little over /
million dollars. The total number of
machines exported to foreign countries
was 21,757, valued at s21 $50, 1879, aver
aging slightly less than $1,000 each Z;
while those TO the noncontiguous terri
tory We're higher, averaging $1,000
each
The export price of American auto
mobiles in 1912 averaged less than in
any earlier year in the history of the
export trade. The average for 1912,
dividing, the total number of machines
exported into stated value, was $500
each, against $l,100 in 1911, $3.50 in
1910, $1,7OO in 1909, and 81, $3.50 in 1908
On the import side, the automobiles
imported last year amounted to but
about million dollars in value, against
more than 4 million in 1907 The av.
erage import value of the automobiles
brought into the country last year was
$2,216 each, against $2,13S in 1911
1896 in 1910. S1,7S8 in 1909, and So,
1872 in 1908. Thus the export price Of
American machines has fallen from
81 $3.50 in 1908 to 1890 in 1912, while
the import price of foreign automo
biles entering the country has only fal
len from $2,392 in 1908 to S2,216 ii
1912. the reduction in price on the ex
port side being AZ per cent, and on the
import side but per cent.
Even the remarkable growth in the
exports of American automobiles not
ed above has not kept pace with the
growth in production at home, since
the census Of 1900 showed the value
of automobiles manufactured in the
United States in 1899 at $4,74S, 900
while that of 1910 showed $249, ,202,00(
as the value manufactured in 1909
The wages paid in the automobile in
dustry, as shown by the census re
port, aggregated $1,321 900 in 1899 anC
