which those who have ever passed
through a fire do not need to have de-
scribed. In another moment the win
dowS cracked with the heat, the in
ner shutters took fire, and, in less
time than it takes to tell it, flames
were leaping clear across the room.
That the sanitarium was burning
! and that every avenue Of rescue was
blocked were but natural conclusions.
And this woman, with five acute
! senses and an active brain, was able
only to move her head a little way
from side to side
1t was only few moments, of
course. before the attendants rushed
in. Miss Eede, the head nurse, had
thought first of all of the patient suf-
ferer in Room 81. There was actually
ing up, and 1t was not hard task to
carry her to place of safety. But
the attendants were hardly prepared
| for the greeting they received.
Don't bother with me now" cried
the agonized woman. For Gods sake,
get those children OUT"
Since the shock she gave to the
world a year ago, Mrs. Harris has
shrunk from publicity and she made
light OF the incidept when she was
questioned.

The visitor longed to ask leading

bring 1t out Mrs. Harris read his mind
and saved the situation.

injure the fiber OF the cotton. 1t is
1of convenient size and weight to
handle and for this reason the steam
ship lines carry 1t at 25 per cent less
freight. II is entirely covered with
burlap and the insurance companies
insure 1t at rs per cent less premium.
There is no waste, no storage, no
warehouse charges and no selling
charges. For these and other reasons
] can pay you one-half cent per pound,
Tor $3.50 per bale, more for your cot
ton than you can get for 1t from any
other buyer. In addition to this pre-
MUM, you save warehouse charges
and selling charges. and you sell your
cotton yourself and save the time and
labor Of carrying the cotton to the
warehouse and waiting on your mer-
chant to sell the cotton. There Is no
danger Of claims for heads out"
bands off," and the many other rules
applied to the square bale way of put
ting up cotton.
] guarantee to everyone who gins

SHIPPING SCHOOL BOOKS

Oklahoma Cite. Aug 2S.-Textbook
companies securing contracts in the
1912 adoption Of the old Board OF Edu-
cation have ordered shipments OF their
books for sale at all points in the
State. Although the question of
whether the adoption was legally
made is yet to be determined by the
Supreme Court the companies are
contending that 1t is legal, and have
made bond for faithfully carrying out
their contracts, ON that basis. BY
and having them ready for sale. the
companies will escape liability on
their bonds should the court declare
the 1912 adoption to be in effect.
Statements compiled from the ship
ping records of the Oklahoma Book
Company, the distributing agency,
show that more cities have ordered
the 1912 books than have the 1905
adoption. State Superintendent viii

adoption under no circumstances can
be regarded in effect, since it expired
on July 81. There were about 40 per
cent of the 1908 books readopted in
1912.
1t is estimated now that about as
many counties have ordered 1905
books as have the 1912 adoption, and
some of the cities, with leaning to
1912 adoption have ordered both set;

1912 adoption in view of the Criminal
Court Of Appeals decision, which helt
the acts of Lieut. Gov. McAlester In
issuing ,pardons to have been legal
upon the assumption that the acting
governor was the supreme executive
authority for all purposes. 1t is ad
mitted, however, that the book con
tracts were not before the Crimina
