That the rice mills, grain elevator

UNNECESSARY TO RISK LIFE
French Police Use suffocatlng Gas
That Makes Arrest of Dangerous
Person Easy.

Bullet-proof armor and revolvers
discharging cartridges containing
suffocating gas, were used by the
French police in securing demented
woman who was firing at everybody
within sight. These weapons were
provided for the special police after
the downfall Of the motor bandits.
The scene of their use was Neuilly.
The woman had barricaded herself in
her room, and from her window she
fired upon anyone who passed by.
A force of police, protected by
breastplates and carrying the gas-dis-
charging revolvers, went to the house.
They were received with volley, but
on reaching the door of her room they
fired the gas charges through q hole
in the woodwork. In few minutes
the woman fell unconscious to the
floor, and the men were able to secure
her and take her away without the
least trouble. 1t is said that, though
the gas thus fired causes almost i'm
mediate Inconsistencies, it has no
unpleasant after effects.

When the Work Piles Up,

We can get any amount of work
done by taking 1t moment at a
time. 1t is when we try to take it
several moments at time that it
gets beyond u.s. A business man had
a pile of work in front of him on his
desk, and was "stewing around" over
1t, and saying how tremendously busy
he was, when another man said to
him, You're not busy; you're only
confused" Seeing and thinking
about more than one thing at a time
brings the confusion that multiplies
burdens and hinders the work. 1t
is sometimes we'll to clear our desk
Of everything except the one thing
upon which we must be working; then
to take up the next thing; and so on
until the days work is done. Concen-
tration routs confusion. Doing one
thing at time gets an amazingly
large number of things done.-Sun-

BLOOMS IN MANY MONTHS
ooIdenrod Has Been Wrongly Con-
sdered to Be Altogether an
Autumn Flower.

Most of us associate the goldenrod
with autumn. II seems to have been
created to serve Indian summer-as
an artist whose duty 1t is to color the
roadside, to border the lake with a
strip of flame, to provide a foreground
of trustworthy and unerring pigment
against the indeflnable blues and pur-
pies of the distance.
But the goldenrod is probably more
a summer flower than a flower of the
fall, that is, II you consider all the
species and sub-species as one. There
are goldenrods that bloom In June.
There are several that come in July
and are dry and colorless stalks when
September arrives. Though the flow
er rests under the accusation Of
causing hay fever by means of its
air-borne pollen, the fact that it has
blossomed and, in the case of many
species, faded before the official open
ing day of hay fever, appears to make
out an alibi for it. Moreover, those
resorts In the North where hay fever
victims fly as to so many sanctuaries,
are not free of the goldenrod. We
doubt If one of the refugees, If 1t is
not a mere lump of rock in the lake.
can truly say that no goldenrod
parades its treasure within the VI
cinity.

Laws Against Noise.

Germany has probably the most
complete laws in the world against
superfuous noise. For noises annoy
ing the public in general" an indi-
vidual can be fined up to G7, or else
imprisoned. For instance, barking
dog or cackling fowl which disturbs
a school makes its owner liable under
the law. In Berlin 1t Is forbidden to
transport through the streets arti-
cles such as sheet iron, chains, and
other metal objects liable to make a
noise, unless packed SO as to be
noiseless. New ordinances, now com
ing into force, forbid not only music
in the streets without police permis-
sion, but also forbid music to be
played or sung in the buildings where
1t can be heard In the streets.

SUBSCRIPTIONS RATES.
RosERrsoN's SPEECH.

At Chandler last Saturday Judge j.
B. A. Robertson made a notable
speech in his introduction of the Dem
ocratic gubernatorial nominee. Robert
l.. Williams. 1t was not claptrap
speech designed to soothe wounded
feelings, but the utterance of man
who has played and will continue to
play conspicuous part in the making
of Oklahoma history Judge Robert
son was addressing home people, peo-
pie with whom he had labored for
4 years and who knew him and believe
in him. He spoke candidly and
straightforwardly and for Democracy.
The biggest feature of the big
speech was the Democratic doctrine
propounded-the adherence to the will
of the many. Judge Robertson. whose
candidacy for governor stood next to
that of Judge Williams. told OF the
stressful times when they had labored
together to make of this Democratic
state, and he told of the hard cam.
paign which had ended by Williams
being chosen over him. He declared
that Democracy means adherence to
the will of the greater number, then
proceeded to tell Why ard wherefore
the Democratic ticket should be elect
ed. He drove the point home that for
Oklahoma at this time to repudiate
herself and also to repudiate the pres
ident, would be political crime, one
which could not be atoned for in the
years to come. The judge did not
mince words nor was there cause for
Misunderstanding him. He won the
approval Of all by his straightforward
ness and builded, unintentionally, per-
haps, for the future, by the great pro
pounding Of the straight Democratic
faith
Judge Robertson needs no praise
from Democracy. He is a living ex-
ponent of the true faith. He has
shown that his Democracy sits straight
In the saddle and he advocates those
doctrines which we're handed down by
Jefferson and have been held sacred
throughout the years, and will be in
the ages to come.-Exchange.
