HOW PENNIES AID
A HUMANE CAUSE

What does the Red Cross Christ
mas Seal mean to you? If you have
formed the opinion that it is a fad
correct it, for 1t is not.
The Red Cross Society seven years
ago decided to cooperate with the
crusade against the white plague One
community has sold Red Cross seals
and had used the funds derived to
further their crusade against tuber--
culosis. Its success encouraged the
Red Cross society to give to the ma
tional and state associations for the
study and prevention of tuberculosis
the agency to sell these seals. Each
year it has continued this practice
The funds derived from the sale of
these seals have been used for the pur-
pose OF carrying on this crusade, in
teresting the public in the subject of
tuberculosis and its prevention, initiat-
ing movements for the building of hos
pi;als and sanitariums, securing legis-
latiye appropriations for the establish
ing and maintaining of municipal and
state sanitsriums and hospitals, and

London, Decl 19,-Corerspondence
of The Associated Press.) The variou.
shipbuildng yards now are as busy as
though there was no war.
The loss of many ships. due to being
bottled up or sunk, made freight rates
high, creating an increased demand
for new tonnage as well as hastened
repairs on old or captured craft. The
repairing yards are full with orders,
and new steamers are not being guar
anteed for early delivery owing to
pressure of work.
a suggestion has been made by the
Newcastle Chamber of Commerce ad-
yisory committee that some of the
Austrian and German steamers now
tied up in British harbors, should be
employed to relieve the present short.

in the coal trade, are suffering incon-

on his ranch for a number of years,

long as present conditions prevail,

With the dawn of statehood. Mr..
Scivally was chosen over a number
of citizens as county commissioner
from the first commissioner district
of Carter county, and, as chairman
of the board, directed the erection of
the Carter county court house, which
is said to be the best structure of its
kind in the state. He served two
terms as commissioner, and declined

interests. Last season he sold one
farm near Springer his home place,
and moved with his family to this

of the city schools.
Mr.. Scivally has been active In
county and state politics since state
hood, and is one of the best known

often sought by those in high places,
as his business abilities are recog-

Recently he was asked TO make the

JAPAN WANTS TO SEND
ARMY TO EUROPE

Toxic Dec. Correspondence of
The Associated Press). The project
of sending Japanese army to Europe
is gathering force in Japan. 1t is un-
derstood that France and Russia ia
vor the idea, but that Great Britain
hesitates to call upon her ally to go
to Europe.
1t is estimated that an army of 300.-
600 (the number under consideration
would cost yen per soldier daily, or
about $500 900 for all. The fleet of
transports would go by way of Suez,
and in addition to total equipment of
arms would have to convey food for
many months, including vast quanti-
ties of rice. The idea is that the ex-
penses would be covered by a Euro
pean loan.
Baron Ksto. minister for foreign af-
fairs, is quoted as being opposed to
the project.

GERMANS HAVE BEGUN TAX
COLLECTING IN BELGIUM

Berlin, Dec. 19.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press) The Ger
man authorities in Belgium have be-
gun to collect the taxes in Belgium.
In accordance with the provision of
the Hague convention respecting oc-
cupied hostile territory. The collec-
ton is made by the regular Belgian
officials, who are under German su-
pervision. No exceptions are made
in the case of German goods; these
pay the regular import duties like
those from other countries. When
the collection of duties began the
authorities announced that goods al
ready brought in, would have to pay
duties in arrears.

ther legislation is asked by the sec
retary of the interior covering the
removal of restrictions, as he is now
authorized to release such of them
as he deems advisable.
Attention is again called in the
report, however, to the fact that
many restricted Indians, principally
full -bloOds, are not living upon or i'm
proving lands selected for them or
designated as their homesteads, and
legislation is recommended to per
NIT the Indians with approval of the
department to change, and have des-
ignated from their allotments not
exceeding forty acres for home
stead, which should not be subject
to lease This would insure the
Indian a home, the report says, since
under the law restricted Indians may
lease the lands allotted TO them other
than the home stead, for periods of
five years, and the lands within their
homestead for one year, with approx
al of the department. AS a result,
the secretary says, many Indians,
especially the more ignorant full
bloods. lease their entire allotments
for grossly inadequate rentals, and
where leases have been set aside for
fraud or other reasons new ones
have frequently been made for no
better consideration.
Stress is laid upon the recommen |
dation of the commissioner to the |
five tribes in his last report that all |
leases made by Indians under con |
troll of the department, shall be ap-
proved by some local authority des-
isnated by the commissioner of In

THE RUSSIAN
SOLDIERS ARE
INFORMAL
REGIMENTS WHEN ON MARCH,
PRESENT AN ODD PICTURE
ARE MOST INFORMAL ORGANl.
ZATlON IN THE WORLD.

London, Dec. 19.-(Corerspondence
of the Associated Press. a letter
from Warsaw says that in marching
Russian soldiers present an odd pic
ture.
"The Russian regiments on the
march are the most informal organi-
cations in the world" 1t says Ahead
ride few officers, and then, in no
particular formation, come the troops,
some on one side of the road and some
on the other. Toward the rear they
straggle off in dwindling streams,
wandering about the fields and plod-
ding here and there, just as though
each was off on an individual tour
For miles, after a regiment has
passed, one sees individual groups
trudging along, apparently perfectly
contented and without a worry in the
world. Yet at night they all appear
at rations, and in the morning start
off again in a solid formation.
Il am told that this method of march
ing has proved great puzzle to the
German airmen in trying to estimate
the numbers of troops that are NOV
ing. When the columns are so strung
out, 1t is almost impossible from any
height to tell whether what one sees
is battalion in close formation or a
company strung out. Most armies
march in solid mass. which can be
seen and estimated ac curately from
a great distance.
"The more one sees of the individual
of the Russian army, the more one
comes to like the common soldier here.
He Is the most good-natured, child-like
playful person in the world, and in
the month | have been with the ar
my, | have not seen any disorder. On
the road and in the camp, all seem
and happy as long as the
weather Is fine. 1t must be admitted
they look little dismal in the rain"

A few days more than fifty years
ago, away back in Lincoln county,
Tennessee. where the farmers COM
pute the quantity of corn to the acre
in barrels, and when the said corn,
in times past, was utilized for other
purposes than fattening stock, the
utilization of the same which has
made Lincoln county famous through
out the land, the subject of this
sketch first saw the light of day.
1t is not for the purpose OF -etfio-
gizing the locality OF Robert +. Sew
ally's birth that this is written, or
to tell of his youthful escapades
while growing into vigorous youth,
but rather to tell of his exploits
after he persuaded his parents that
the great west was the place in
which to exercise the family talents,
and the best thing for all concerned
would be to emigrate to Texas,
which they did when he was but
eight years of age, and proceeded to
grow up with the country, after the
plans and specifications laid down
by the late Horace Greeley.
The family moved to Wise county,
Texas, and took up the avocation of
farming. They were reasonably sue
cessful, but not enough to satisfy
the ambition of young Robert.
In the year 1887 the wanderlust
again smote him, and this time, at
the end of his journey it found him
in the new town of Ardmore, which
was then nothing but a town on
paper, but with ambitions TO become
a great city. There was not a store !
