TRAVELS ALONE AT 1O1.
Shenandoah Centenarian Says He
Should Live to BE at Least 12j.

J. M. Phipps, the Shenandoah CEN
tenarian, still young at 1O1, is trav-
cling alone from his home town in
Iowa to Oklahoma to visit his son.
Mr.. Phipps does great deal of trav-
cling and is the centenarian who par
ticipated in the Elk dedication eXer-
cises at Red Oak recently. Mr..
Phipps is as active and straight as
an arrow, and has an appearance of
a well-preserved man of sixty
II haven't eaten meat in ten
years and lake cold bath every
morning. My diet consists of fruits
and vegetables" he said. 'Most of
the members of our family, which is
a large one, follow the same dietary
rules. I am going to visit my son,
who lives in Ponca City. He is sew
enty-three years old and the eldest
of seven, but he looks younger than
most men at fifty. / was one of twin
brothers. The other died only eigh-
teen months ago. l have forty-eight
great-grand-chil all of whom
are in good health and bid fair to
make good the family tradition of
longevity. " ~
About a year ago l began to be-
lieve that I wasn't seeing the social
side of life. Just to keep from 60
ing to seed while still young l join
ed the Elks. There's nothing like
the company of live bunch of fell
lows to keep a man from feeling his
age.
How long will I live? Well, l
should reach 1875, anyway. So far
as l have been able to observe my
own condition, l haven't aged appre-
ciably in the last twenty years. Why
not live to be 1875 or 1902"

Street Oiiing Has Commenced in
Garden Grove.

Last Friday work was commence
ed on oiling the streets and by Sat
urday evening the first car OF OIL
was all on the street, the business
part of town and from in front of s..
H. Amos resident to east OF the
school house being oiled. Traffic was
turned on the business section the
first of the week and it works fine,
the streets being absolutely free
from dust, giving one the impression
there has just been a big rain. The
order for the second car or OIL was
delayed, as it should have arrived
when we were finishing up the first
car, and the job could have been
completed without stop, however,
as we go to press we received word
that the second car has been ship
ped and it is more than likely that
by the last of the week the streets
will all be oiled. We are more
than satisfied and many have said
they have got their moneys worth
already, by being free from the
dust. @
The street in the east part of
town was not quite finished, it being
necessary to put on little more oil
in some places, or it would have
been opened when the other streets
were. The people on the south
street where it has been necessary
to divert the traffic, have certainly
been getting a dose of the. dust
nuisance and can now appreciate
what those living on Main street
have been up against @
Most eyery one has been very
patient with the inconvenience Of
the past few days as to the closing
of the streets and we only ask your
Indulgence a few days longer.-Gar-
den Grove Express. &

Interstate Liquor Law.

The attorney general having been
appealed to for construction of the
provisions of the Webb liquor law
has handed down the opinion that
express companies may receive and
deliver liquor to interstate points,
and agents of express companies at
their various offices may deliver the
packages to private residences or
physicians offices, where the pre-
sumption is that the liquor is de-
signed for medical purposes. They
are forbidden to deliver liquor to
business houses. Where the liquor
is consigned by freight the consignee
must call for the goods in person
This decision has caused the express
companies to resume the carrying
of liquor as of OLD.
Following is a copy of the section
of the law regarding interstate ship
ments of liquor:
THAT the shipment or transpor'
tation, in any manner or by any
means whatsoever, of any spirituous
vinous, matted, fermented, or other
Intoxicating liquor of any kind

of the United States, or place non
contiguous to but subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, which said
spirituous, vinous, matted, ferment'
ed or other Intoxicating liquors is in.

therein to be received, possessed
sold, or in any manner used, either
