The first game law for the protec-
ton OF wild animals and birds was
enacted in lO6S by William the Con-
queror. This decree Of the Norman
king was called forest law. but Its
principal purpose was the preserya-
ton of game. Forfeiture OF property
was made a penalty for killing or dis
abling any kind of wild beast, while
the slayer of stag, buck or boar,
If convicted, had his eyes put out.
These laws, of course, applied only to
the masses, since the royalty and no.
bility were permitted to kill as much
as they pleased. In fact, the princi-
pal purpose of the pioneer game law
was to provide sport for the few. The
first parliamentary game law in Eng
land was passed in 1896. Game laws
in America have become increasingly
strict of late years, but they were
adopted too late to save many species
l notably the buffalo. from almost com
/ plete extinction.

The journalist is often the man

only by money, though even from
that point of view it is the best in

Rishton (EnglandD bridegroom to
stand before the altar with his bride
in motoring overalls. Both bride and
bridegroom reached the parish church
by motorcycle, and the 35 guests were
conveyed in a similar manner. The
couple were Miss Mary Ferrier and

RELATIVES

EACH OTHER
JULIUS KAHN AND WIFE HAVE
RELATIVES IN ALL THE GREAT
ARMIES NOW BATTLING IN EU-
ROPE.

Julius Kahn of this city las rela-
tives fighting in all the armies OF
Europe. and this morning stated
that his wife had Just received a
letter from Berlin stating that the
conditions there were anything but
pleasant.
The letter in question state that
it was very hard to get a letter out
of the country at present, but post
cards could be sent without fear OF
being intercepted. This letter was
taken from Berlin to Hamburg and
given into the hands of an Amerl'
can citizen to mail, and stated that
Berlin is preparing for a long war
that recruits and reserves were III
the city, and that women are vol
unteering to drive the motor cars
in order that the men might rush
to the front.
In speaking of the Americans in
Germany the letter stated that the
Germans had always liked the Ameri
cans, but since the outbreak of the
war that feeling had been intensl
fed. and that the little American
flags worn on the breast of the
traveller is treated with the utmost
respect.
Mr.. Kahn's nephew was in Lor
raine when the war broke out, ant
he is now in the French army be
fore Paris, as well as several othel
nephews and cousins. The lette
from them stated that the battles
are fought with great vigor, ant
when the truth is finally known th'
casualties will stagger humanity an'
forever put an end to war.
1t becomes easier to get mail ou
of France each day, as the allie
drive back the invaders, and MI
Kahn expects to receive letters fror
his relatives frequently, if they ar
not killed.

Erie1dIv Fish

A curious instance OF the familiarity
OF fishes with human beings has been
observed in Portland, Ore, at the Uni
ted States barge office. The official
boat ia kept at the end OF the wharf.
Some time ago one OF the boatmen
began TO notice a fish about eight
inches long. and resembling a carp
that seemed to wish 10 scrape acquain-
tance. The fish would come up TO the
top OF the water whenever the man ap-
peared. and did not seem to be at all
afraid. After time all the men got to
know the FISH; and began to take
friends to see him. Al first he might
not be in sight, but he would very
soon appear and frisk around near the
surface. Once or twice he has come
so close as TO rub his nose against
the boatman's hand, and the men are
waiting further Developments.

Or GET OUT

SENSE OF A RESOLUTION PASS
ED BY THE FAITHFUL WORK.
ERS AT THE MEETING HELD
LAST NIGHT.

There was some pretty severe crit
icsm by the two faithful members OF
the cotton club committee having in
charge the local buy-a-bale movement
of the other members of the commit
tee recently appointed but who have
never put in an appearance or tried
to do anything toward booming the
movement, and these two who are
always present at any meeting OF the
chamber of commerce instructed the
secretary last night to have COM
mittee appointed that would do some
thing or take their names from that
committee and never put them on an
other as long as they lived in this
city.
The buy-a-bale movement has
spread like wild-fire throughout the
nation, and the members of the COM
mittee who possess pride in the city
and county are peeyed to think that
perhaps Ardmore and Carter county
will be the last to take any definite
action and report cotton purchased
and sold.
If the other members of the COM
mittee who were out in their autos or
enjoying social evening had a Sc
we're burning of the ears, they can
readily account for the fact after read
ing this, because they got theirs, and
got it good, and the secretary as
above stated, was instructed to get
men who would work or the whole
| deal would be called off.
Secretary West stated he would
confer with President Mullen today
and see if some active men could not
be induced to take hold of the mat
ter and do something for Ardmore and
Carter county at the time when every
other town of any size is in the move
ment and reporting cotton purchases

Martial law TO stop drilling oil
wells is something new. Oklahoma
has 50 much oil that it can supply
the world. Pipe lines built into the

can be brought to the surface. The
refineries cannot refine all the Okla
homa oil. From 10000 to 10000 bar
rels of oil every day are going down

great waste, and after all, the propo-
