FEARFUL OF THE WATER.

Children are often fearful of the
water, especially at the seashore, and
kind-hearted parents will not thrust
a terror-stricken baby into the surf.
John Muir, in the Atlantic Monthly,
advises the need of caution in this
matter by relating how he was made
miserable as a child by being plunged
again and again into the sea by a
strong-armed servant, despite his
shrieks. GAS the time approached
for this terrible bathing" he says,
"I used to hide in the darkest cor
ners of the house, and oftentimes a
long search was required to find me"

Dickens In Australia.

It is said that when a Scotsman
leaves old Scotia to make his home
in some other land he so}aces his ex'
lie with the book Of Robert Burns
poems, and that the Scot abroad
comes to be even better versed IN
the rhymes of the peasant poet than
the Scot who has remained at home.
1t has been remarked that the same
is true as regards the Englishman and
Charles Dickens. w. NJ. Hughes, act
ing prime minister Of Australia, goes
further than this and asserts that
Dickens had an important influence
on Australian democracy, and through
men who read him and loved him.
men who imbibed his hatred OF shams
and humbugs, who wanted freer and
better conditions, to have some other
place to look to than the workhouse'
had made Australia what Is today.

SENATOR SAYS TAKE
LOWER CALIFORNIA
SMITH OF ARIZONA ADVOCATES
THUS TO COMPENSATE FOR
LOSSES IN MEXICO.

Washington, June 2S.-A change in
the attitude of the United States to-
ward the warning factions in Mexico
was urged in the senate Friday, with
the result that the foreign relations
committee of that body is 20 take up
the question Immediately.
Senator Fall of New Mexico attack
ed the present policy and asked for
the repeal of the so-called neutral
ity resolution OF the last congress.
Under this authority, he said, arms
were permitted to go across the bor-
der to the Huerta faction, but were
prevented by the armed forces of the
United States from going to the fac
tions opposed to Huerta.
Senator Fall praised the Wilson ad-
ministration for refusing to recognize
what he termed the "assassins of the
president of Mexico" as the establish
ed government in the republic; but
he declared the practice of the ad-
ministration in allowing arms to go
to one faction and not to the other
has resulted in retaliatory steps to-
ward American citizens that no other
nation would permit
His speech brought a response from
Senator Bacon, chairman of the for
eign relations committee. that was re-
garded by some as voicing the attitude
of the administration. Senator Bacon
said the solution for the present diff
ficulties in Mexico lay in the educated
classes taking up arms to restore or
der.
Enough such mon resided in Mex
leo City alone, he said, to establish
order in the whole republic. He add
ed that for the United States to at
tempt to protect her citizens by arms
in Mexico meant intervention and oc-
cupation probably for all time.
Senator Smith of Arizona, in the de-
bate which followed. advocated the
United States taking possession Of
lower California in compensation for
Americans killed and American prop
ertv DESTROYED in Mexico.
Senator Williams joined in urging
the repeal of the neutrality resolu-
ton" Senator Bacon assured the SEN
ate the committee would soon con-
slider the question.

CUT MEAT BILL
FOR PEN|TENT|ARY
BOARD OF AFFAIRS LETS CON.
TRACT TO SUPPLY STATE
PRISON NO STARVATION

Since prisoners do not require much
meat in hot weather the state board
of affairs cut the meat order for the
state penitentiary for the next three
months down to $4,000. The order
was divided between Armour q com
pany and Morris & company. From
the Armour company the board pur-
chased $4,000 pounds of dry salt ba-
con. 1S,500 pounds of sausage and
$1,000 pounds of lard. The order from
Morris &. company consisted OF 9,OO0
pounds of bologna sausage, $500
pounds of olio, 5000 pounds of chill
meat and 5000 pounds of "weiners.'
The inmates of the penitentiary will
not be forced to depend alone on this
meager supply of meat for the COM
ing three months, but will have about
500 head of cattle fed to them in the
form of fresh meat. Since there is an
abundance of pasture land at the state
penitentiary and the state has the
convict labor at hand, the board OF
affairs has adopted the plan of buy
ing the fresh meat on foot and hav-
ing it slaughtered at the penitenti-
airy. This saves the packers profit
on labor. There also is a consider
able saving in the fat put on by the
cattle while feeding on the state pen
itentiary pasture.
The 500 head of cattle are estimated
to be sufficient to furnish fresh meat
to the 1,500 occupants Of the peniten.
tiary for the next four months. They
were bought for 1-2 cents per
pound on foot. They will average 500
pounds each. The 500 head cost the
state approximately $35,200.
Adding three-fourths of this amount
to the $4,000, the price paid for the
other meat supplies for the coming
there months, the meat bill of the
state penitentiary will be $3s,4O0.
This is only the summer appropria-
tion for meat When winter sets in
the meat bill will be a considerable
item.-Oklahoma

with each other and feel the good
cheer and encouragement inculcated
by just such an association.
"S. That We extend thanks to The
Ardmoreite for it's kindness in issu-
ing our reports, programs, resolutions,
and such.

to the people and has been helpful
in the extreme to both experienced
and inexperienced teacher, and that
it's administration has been both just
and generous, that it is our desire that
the Carter county normal be estab-
lished as a permanent annual occur
renee.

featuring City Here.
IL. NJ. Morrison arrived in the city
Saturday from Cleveland, Ohio, and
will remain here a short time with
Mr.. Bell, manager OF the Asphalt
Paint Factory of this city. Mr. Nor
rison says his company has had some
big deals on that made it impossible
for much attention to be paid to their
business here and that he was here
on this trip to arrange for the local
factory to run on full time.
Mr.. Morrison expressed delight at
the manner in which his paints and
varnishes are selling upon the mar
kets. He said users of asphalt paints
are delighted with results and while
the product is new in a way, YET
there is a demand for every gallon
that the plant can turn out even If
day and night shifts were put on,
and this may be the result of his visit
Your town looks good to me, y
said Mr.. Morrison, 'and | am glad
to see so many railway contractors
here. With transportation this city
can be made factory center. Your
own people would be surprised to see
a dozen big paint factories here, but
such a thing is not improbable at
all"

SUES FOR MONEY
ALLEGING FRAUD
DR.. j. c. MAHR WANTS MONEY
BACK HE PAID MID D-CONTINENT
INSURANCE COMPANY.

Alleging that II. G. Baker, repre-
senting the Continent Life In
surance company, made false repre-
sentations to him for the purpose ot
defrauding him out of his money, j
c. Mahr yesterday in the superior
court brought suit to recover S2,50J
ne claims to have paid that company
and to compel the return of $500
note which he says they hold.
In his petition DR.. Mahr alleges
that in June, 1910, he made arrange
ments to purchase 100 shares of Mid
Continent stock from Baker, then
president. He says the stock was
quoted at $50 a share but that it
was agreed that he should have treas
ury stock and pay s1OO per share for
it, the additional $50 on each share
to be applied to the working surplus
OF the company.
He claims to have paid S1.S01
down, to have given seven notes for
800 each, payable at intervals of a
month apart, and his note for $500
payable in two years. He alleges
that he paid the seven notes, but that
before the other came due he ascer-
tanned that Baker had sold him some
of his privately owned stock in the
company instead of treasury stock,
and he charges that Baker appropri-
ated the additional $50 on each share
for his own use
He alleges that the company has
repeatedly tried to compromise the
deal and declares that no stock was
ever issued to him. He asks that his
$500 with interest from the time
paid be returned to him and that un-
less the $500 note, which he claims
the company holds is returned be-
fore the trial, he asks the amount of
the note as damages. O'Hare, David
son. Blakeney and Maxey are his at
torneys.-Muskoge Phoenix
