| Then he gasped, for Carara slowly
drew from inside his shirt long,
thin-bladed knife bearing marks of re-

snapped. His face had become sud-

with the tone Of chilled metal. Glass
retreated a step, shudder ran
through him, and his eyes riveted
themselves upon the weapon with hor-
rified intensity.

Speed, who had sat in open-mouthed
amazement during the,scene, pinched
himself. Like Larry, he could not re-
move his gaze from the swarthy man.
He pulled himself together with an eff
fort, however, undertaking to divert
the present trend of the conversation.
"W-where will you cut him." he
asked, pleasantly, more to make con-
versation than from any lingering
question as to the precise location.

against himself, and traced a cross
upon his front, whereupon the trainer
gurgled and laid protecting hands
upon his protruding abdomen. "You

Avoid sedative Cough Medicines

If you want to contribute directly

DR.. I. r. Watkins announced Satur-
day that he had withdrawn from the
contest for school director, in favor
off Mrs. Mary F. Beimfohr. and in the
interest of harmony in school manage
ment. In withdrawing, DR.. Watkins
said:
II have served six years on the
board and stated some months ago

business requires my continuous at
tention. feel l ought to give the
schools more attention than I do.
do not believe in making fight for a
place where there should be no fight
ing. There should be no politics in
our schools and no pressure brought
to get ONCE later to be rewarded at
the expense of the school board. In
the interest of harmony l think it
wiser to withdraw in favor Of Mrs.
Beimfohr, who is thoroughly compe-
tent for the position and who will
have time to give the ofhce her close

TAHOLA WELL
IS NOW PROVED
Declares F. H. Stanard, Oil
and Mining Expert, After
Investigating Field
BIGGEST DISCOVERY YET
Merely Question Of Its Extent.
Two Weeks Before Capac-
ity Of Well is Known

It will be two weeks before the
actual capacity Of the Tahola oil we'll.
the first in the Grays Harbor field, will
be known, but when it is brought
in as a producer it will be a gusher
and the flow of oil is certain to be
very large. This much is now re-
garded here as known definitely. As
far as the developers are concerned
the we'll already has been brought
in, and thos whoe are familiar with
the development and the extent o,
the discovery say they know it will
be a gusher. The we'll, which has
been allowed to plug itself, seems
certain to be far bigger producer
than at first estimated.
J. A. Paulhamus, the discoverer,
will make no prediction. but says he
has brought in 10,000-barrel wells in
other fields with no better showing

remains now is to learn the extent
Of the field.
"Since I began investigating the
oil field north Of Grays Harbor, ]
have never had doubt that oil would
be struck" continued Mr.. Stanard.
'for the indications are Of greater
extent than in any developed field in
the country.
There is every indication this
field will prove one Of the richest in

POLICY
Is IND0RSED
Lord High Chancellor Of Eng
laud Upholds the Policy
Of Administration
m MEXICAN SITUATION
lnterprets Wilson's Policy Al
Acceptance Of Responsible
itp by the Nation

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-Before a gath
ering Of $50 American men and women
and many noted English guests, Wis
count Haldane, lord high chancellor
of England, made an address pronounc-
ing the English governments endorse
ment of the Monroe doctrine and
present Mexican policy Of President
Woodrow Wilson. The address was
given at the annual Thanksgiving din
ner of the American society.
The address of Lord Haldane was
cheered, time and again during its de-
livery.
Robert N. Fairbanks, president OF
the society proposed "The King" and
Lord Haldane proposed "The Presi.
dent Of the United States"
High Ideals Of Citizenship
81 recently made visit to the
United States" Lord Haldane said,
"and came back not only with vivid
recollection of the cordial welcome
received. but with a deep sense Of the
high ideals the British and American
nations hold in common-the high
ideals Of citizenship Of the two coun.
tries"
Speaking of the Monroe doctrine
he said the United States considered
herself responsible for the liberties
Of the small nations Of that hemis'
phere. He could see what was in
the mind of the president Of that time
that the responsibility rested with
the United States to obtain good gov
ernment and fair treatment for these
countries.
Ready to Take Responsibility
He interpreted President Wilson
policy to mean that the United States
was ready to accept the responsible
ity OF insuring good terms herself in
those countries and to those who went
there, and that the United States
should set up high ideals OF policy. ol
justice and Righteousness.
