CHANGING over the above it will be
seen that McAuliffe has engaged in
fourteen battles worthy of note. SIX
have resulted in K. O. showing that
Mac possesses a wa1lop. -Four of the
others have resulted in newspaper de-
cisions IN his favor. The remaining
four Mac stayed the limit and secur-
ed draws. What McAuliffe lacks in
experience he makes up in his ability
to take a wa1loping and still slip over
the hay-ma1ker.
If Mac connects with Shea, New
England is bound to have a new cham
pion The only question in the minds
of Macs followers is whether he can
put up as good fight for twelve
rounds as he can fer a fight Of short
er duration. Their fears in regards
to this should be put aside as in his
recent bout with frankie Fleming he
showed up his strongest in the ninth
and tenth rounds.

TWO NRE CHARGED WITH NIO-
LNTING PURE FOOD
LAW.

OKLAHOMA CITY. July 22.-
Upon complaint of L. =. Russell,
state food and drug inspector, County
Attorney Pope Monday filed suit in
the superior court against Ray Nc
Greer and Fred Ptak, charging them
with violation of the state food law
by selling adulterated ice cream
cones. In his complaint, Russell
states that 1t appears from the inves-
tigation conducted by the state health
q Z partment that the adulterated
stock sold by the two defendants
was portion of that condemned
some time ago by the United States
court as being adulterated. The
old Star Wafer company said Rus
ssll. against whom the Federal gov
ernment secured five to seven judge
mcnts In different parts of the state,
based upon the sale of this identical
adultcratcd product, went into the
hands OF receivers and was sold to
Fred Ptak and Robert Lyle. Later
Lyle sold his interest to McGrecr."
Russell recommended that McGreer
and ptak be prosecuted on the spe-
cific charge Of selling adulterated
food. to-wit ice cream cones contain
Ing borax and saCcharin, both in
gradients being prohibited by the
food and drug law of oklahoma. The
county attorney asks the court to
appoint Dr. ]. G. Mahr ns receiver

Mrs. Cyrus Potter recognized the species at once. having been the first to report them in this section on their three months stay in the winter of 1909 and 1910- Sunday Miss Sarah Potter the teach CT, was in the maple grove again with her pocket Audubon and glasses, not ing the habits of the Oregonians. Some buds on the trees were opened, but the hungry birds were chiefly busy picking up the maple seeds on the patches of ground bare of snow. The short flights from tree to ground and back were made with sparrow-like chirps of alarm, though the birds were not at all shy. Sunday and Monday there were but six birds-four females and two bright nuptial -plumage males. Where is the larger company from which this group was detached?

Among the other many. important questions which will come before Mir.

Though the extra session promises to be one which will extend well into the sum mer and the proba biIity exists that he will follow that by trip to the Panama canal for an examination of that important project and to get ac- quainted with the situation and the problems that exist there. in the han ding of which he will have an inn portant duty in the future, he should find time for its use
 From Maine to South Carolina the honor of entertaining the governor during the summer is sought. Massa- chusetts has many attractive spots to offer and the testimonials of President Taft and ex-President Cleveland, Vir- ginia as the native state of the pres ident- be hopes to charm him be- cause of former associations. fact which gives the southern states their only hope. Because of his acquaint- ance with Sea Gift New Jersey is hopeful of retaining him and his fam fly during the vacation months, but Connecticut is not beyond the range of possibilities. Lyme in New Lon- don county has appealed to the vaca- ton tastes of MT. Wilson. It furnishes the delightful combination of an at- tractive country and shore, health fui and restful spot perfectly fitted for recuperation. Connecticut would welcome MT.

A POSTAL REFORM.

A firm grasp on the postal condi-
 tions of this country has been taken by Postmaster General Hitchcock. He
 has brought about magnificent i'm provements, handled the additional
 business which has been placed against the department with the skill of veteran, and proposes a number of changes which should operate to the great advantage of this branch to the abuse of the franking privi- lege by pointing out that sixty one mil
 lion pounds of free mail matter was sent through the department channels last year by congressman and gov ernment departments. This is on the face of 1t a use of the frank far in ex- cess of fairness While election and campaign material played an important part in bringing up the franked mail to so large total, it did not exceed the privilege which is open to exces- sive use under existing conditions.
 That the system demands a change is apparent and the postmaster gen eral in calling attention to it makes the important suggestion that the franking privilege be abolished the best way of overcoming the abuse and that as a substitute special stamps be issued to the congressman and those in the government service using the frank The suggestion is worthy of proper consideration. Because of the frank. tons of matter are sent through the mail going directly to waste bas- ISets. the burden of which is borne by the people. big reduction in this kind of mail matter could be accom- plished without any detriment.

Under the Best Management.

Mir. Editor: My advice to Booster with his shoulder to the wheel (whose letter appeared in Saturdays paper) is to keep away from the Burns or any other banquet, seeing as how he con- sders it necessary to have an auto police patrol to take him home to the City Hall hotel
 My idea is that he never was at one of the Burns banquets. because had he been he would be perfectly well aware that these banquetS are the best man aged and the finest affairs of their kind ever held in this city b~ any or :. ganization
 If however he did manage to get a ticket, mistake must have been made, as it has and always will be the aim of the committee to exclude such knockers as .Booster.'
 He must be speaking for himself when he advocates tEe patrol, as he has probably always found himself in condition to require it's service; but in my opinion one who is deSp1cable enough to knock a Burns or any oth- CT banquet got in a condition to re- quire the patrol, not through anything provided at the banquet, nor by the expenditure of his own "plunks," but through his ever readiness to accept the hospitality of others.
 Before he attends another banquet I would most respectfully suggest that he order a patrol, so that he can be taken where he can never again cast reflections upon banquet, which each and every one who was at it must con- cede to have been the best managed, the most orderly. and the one attend ed by the most representative assem- blaze of all the best and most prom inent business men, of all professions, in our city.

phases. We never tire of seeing the return of new moon after it's absence (here assuming that we are asleep as we should be while the moon is old or in its last quarter Is it strange that the coming of some big storm coinci- dently with the new moon or with the full moon should be noted Exceptions, by the way, are either never noted or at least not much thought of.
 The most skeptical of us find it diff hcult at times to keep from being su- perstitious. The writer recalls upon Tuesday evening now several years ago viewing the new moon over his left shoulder. The recollection is vivid that he thought at the time of the fear of some people of being thus caught. Upon the morning of the succeeding Thursday telegram arrived announc- ing the death of his father, whom he had left in perfect health upon the very day the bad omen came. It was years before I could with perfect equanimity view the new moon over my left shoulder My belief was not in the least changed, but the associa- lions were not pleasa-t find it easy, therefore, to understand the road by which our various signs and omens come to us.
