Catching a Bride.

Among certain Siberians the bride.
groom is not permitted TO have wife
until he can catch her But they do
not give him a fair race in the open.

He follows like Hippomenes after Alta

thrown in the way OF the bride they

Using Forest Lands. "

An official statement says that one of
the largest tasks of the forest service
during the past year has been the
classification of lands within the nat.
ional forests in respect to their highest
future use. Their work was undertake.
en- during 1918 on more comprehen.
sive scale than ever before, because
there was a specific appropriation for
the purpose, Large areas are being
classified where the amount of land
chiefly valuable for agriculture war
rants its being taken out of the forests
and it also takes care of areas on
which detailed classification will dis.
close small areas suitable for agricul.
tural dvelopment within the forests.
The work is being carried on with the
assistance of the bureau of soils an the
bureau of plant industry. One result of
this work was tne elimination of $40.
600 acres from the Nebraska national
forest, $4,000 from the Rainier. in
Washington, and 4l3.77 acres from
the Deschutes and Paulina in Oregon.
About 800. 600 acres in small isolated
tracts were listed for settlement dur
ing the year. The areas now being
ex amined for settlement classification
have total area of about three million
acres.

Cold Storage and Eggs

In the course of a speech covering
the subject of cold storage eggs Con-
gresham Mcclellan recalled the exper-
fences of DR.. Harvey Wiley and his
assistants. Mr.. Mcclellan says that
the pure food expert purchased the
very best quality of eggs and put them
in storage in rented space at the Wash
ington market. Extreme care was had
to make sure that the eggs we're sound
and they were put away under the
most favorable conditions. and at the
end Of three months DR.. Wiley and his
assistants took them cut. A jury was
empaneled to eat the eggs, which were
served together with strictly fresh
eggs The result of the first expert.
ment was that most cf the jury were
unable to tell which were the cold stor-
age ami which were not. According to
Mr.. Mcclellan the remaining eggs were
kept in storage for longer periods and
at four months the jury very easily
determined those that were the cold
storage eggs. However, DR.. Wiley
continued the experiment and the eggs
in storage for nine months, when TAX
en- out, were found to be very bad. At
the end of six months most of the eggs
were good enough to be declared
wholesome as food product. The pro-
position III Congress is very similar to
the measure made famous by the late
Senator Hepburn, providing that after
three months storage eggs are to be
labeled showing how long they have
been stored. The substance of the
House debate concerning the cold stor-
age proposition indicates that there is
no trouble whatever about proper con-
servation of food stuffs, and that a
time limit is necessary in the process.
Likewise it seems advisable that cold
storage goods should be stamped so
that the public may know exactly
what they are buying.

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON, D. c.
Concentration of Wealth.

In the course of rambling speech
by Representative Lafferty of Oregon,
attacking the newspaper trust" he
wandered into the storage vaults of
statistics and brought out the fact that
we have in tins country one hundred
AM twenty-five billion dollars ir
wealth, and that fifty men own forty
per cent Of this wealth. "In other
Words" according to Mr.. Lafferty,
fifty men own nearly half of the total
property Of the United Suites. " Recur-
ring to his grievance against trust,
the Congressman says that when any
citizen gets this information out of a
corporation owned newspaper wish
that he would come 9nd let me know. "
Continuing he says that two hundred
thousand men own seventy per cent of
the whole wealth Of the United States,
leaving only thirty per cent for the re-
manning 99,8O0.0o0 That the figures
are accurate is vouched for by the fact
trait they are from the government
cencus reports. In support of their
authenticity, Mr.. McGillcuddy of
Maine. is quoted as having used the
same figures in the course of a speech
in the House last year Moralizing up
on the issue, the gentleman from Ore
gon says IF any citizen believes that
it is healthy condition to have two
per cent of our population own seventy
per cent Of our wealth, ard to have
fifty men own nearly >half of the
colossal wealth of the United States,

come about under fair laws, should

a MORAL ALLIANCE.

An answer has been given to the
question, why did the lord chancellor
of Great Britain come to the meet
ing of the American Bar association,
being the first holder Of his office
to leave his country? The answer
was found in Lord Haldane's speech
and in the announcement permitted
by him to be made through a third
party, that he spoke as an official
representative OF the British ministry.
II Is further announced that his ad-
dress will be printed in several for
eign languages and circulated. The
gist of the address was that the Eng
disappearing nations should draw
nearer together that they would by
doing so be strong enough to enforce
peace upon the world, and that in half
a century the United States will not
only be the leading nation in the
world in material wealth and physical
mower. but also in intellectual
strength. He should have added in
moral power also, for If we remain
true to our traditions of popular gov
ernment and human rights, we shall
become the moral leaders of the
world.
Already the nations give heed to
our opinion on subjects OF world pol
icy affecting them. What we did
among ourselves after the great Civil
war. what we did to China after the
boxer rebellion, what We did to Spain
after administering to her n crush
ing defeat, what we are doing for the
Philippines and Cuba, our attitude to-
ward the integrity of China, our for
bearance in the case Of Mexico, and
the many other things We have done

milton Of the rights and welfare OF

fort to apply morals to our national

EASY PREY FOR FAKIRS.

The Durant Democrat in speaking
of its own town. says that it falls an
easy prey to the grafters, especially
the advertising grafters In n re-
cent issue it claims that Durant Is
paying more for its telephone service
than its neighbor, Hugo is paying, and
says:
Durant, OF almost worldwide fame
for being easy picking for fakirs,
schemers and grafters-particul
travelling advertising swindlers-is
being relieved Of $2215O per month,
or $2,7O6O0 per year, all coming from
the pockets of our business men.
whereas this amount could be saved
IL our people would be bold enough
and cooperative enough to stand for
their rights.
According to the latest phone direc-
tory. Durant business men are using
1914 phones, for which each OF them,
except one, are paying the sum or
$275 per month, while over at Hugo,
a town not so large as Durant, there
are, according to the latest directory,
2O7 phones, for which the sum of $500
per month is paid"

ALLEGED WHITE
SLAYER TRIED
CITIZEN OF MARSHALL COUNTY
ARRESTED ON UGLY CHARGE
BEFORE COM. HUTCHINSON.

D. L. Benson, barber residing at
Madell was before United States
Commissioner Hutchinson today
charged with violating the Mann
white slave act. After hearing the
settlement of Deputy Marshal Hignight
who made the arrest, and reading the
sworn testimony of the girl the COM
missioner released him on bond of
$1,50O, for his appearance at the Jan
uary term of the United States court
at DALLAS, Texas.
The sworn testimony of the girl
reveals some revolving facts if true.
Ii seems that Benson advertised mi
the Dallas News for a girl to come
and live with himself and family and
assist in the housework, that the
mother of the girl (Willie Mae Long,
answered the advertisement and af-
ter a deal of correspondence the girl
was finally permitted to go to Madill
and live with the Benson family.
From the time she entered the ia
mily until her downfall is recounted
by the girl in a straightforward man
ner despite its many revolving de-
tails Willie Mae in her testimony
gives her age as 10 years She was
the daughter of widow woman IN
Dallas. Benson has a wife and three
children living at Madill where he is
in business.
