PUBLIC OFFICER TO
ADMINISTER ESTATES
TAX COMMISSION PROPOSE RE-
FORM TO SAVE HEIRS
MUCH MONEY

Declaring that maLy small estates
exorbitant charges for funeral eXpen-
SEES and legal fees, the state tax COM
mission has announced that it will
ask the next legislature to enact a
law providing for the appointment of
public administrator in each coun-
ty.
The plan IS to authorize the SUI
perior court of each county to make
the appointment, the appointee to be
a resident attorney who would re-
ceive a commission to be fixed by law
for administering the estate. The
public administrator would take
charge of all estates where no heirs
resided within the state and to ad-
minister other estates when heirs re-
siding within the state made such a
request to the court. The fixing of a
statutory commission would do away
with the double fees now necessary
in probate cases.
A further provision of the pro-
posed statute would be that the pub
lie administrator should be required
to act in conjunction with the tax
commission in collecting inheritance
taxes from estates that pass by deed
in contemplation of death. A large
G, &c, NV tatn in,
cases where property is conveyed
prior to death for the purpose of
avoiding probate. The administra-
tor, being on the ground and familiar
with the records, could catch these
conveyances and assist the commits
sion in collecting the tax.
One of the cases which the COM
mission found recently is an instance
of the need that exists for some rem
edy. A man died leaving $4,000 in
cash and no debts but funeral ex-
penses. The undertaken was ap-
pointed administrator. After the ex-
penses of administration and funer-
al expenses had been met, just $40
remained to be distributed to the
heirs in the east. The commission
believes that large amounts of money
would be saved to the heirs and that
thousands of dollars of escheats to
the common school fund, when no
heirs were found, would be gained

our own country in this line. The
customs OF different countries are
interesting and case in point was
illustrated in a recent lecture by
Madam Montf0rd of Palestine at
Masonic gathering in Washington.
She related how the shepherds Of Je-
rusalem drank the milk of sheep. and
said that in her gir'hood days she
had been almost brought up on it"
She declared it to be as nutritious
and palatable as cows milk, yet in
the United States no one ever heard
of drinking Sleeps milk. And here
there is no driving of reindeer, eX-
cept when Santa Claus used it in
preference to later-day airships
which have proven far more feasible
than ever the feet-footed reindeer,
mas much as the country now has so
large number of chimneys, and
these can be more easily reached by
alrshlps than by reindeerS that stub

Lodge Versus Norris.
From Senator Lodge of Massachu-
sets comes the admission that "suf-
fering and injury" have been done to
hundreds of innocent people in New
England as the result of the break
down of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford, and the Boston &
Maine railroads, and his opinion is
that the department of justice and
not Congress should be the instru-
ment for righting the wrongs of in
vestors and stockholders. The min
ions of justice have been riding ex-
ceedingly slow and though the pub
lie is assured by Mr.. Lodge and 9TH
ers that the new president of the
New Haven system, Mr.. Elliott, is a
man of high character and honest
purposes" yet but recently these
same things We're said about Mr.. Mel
len and the fnanciers of the house
of Morgan who MIXED almost dry
one of the greatest properties in Am
erica. Men like Senator Norris, who
stands for to-the-minute methods
or righting wrongs, have declared
that thorough sitting of the New
Haven affair is within the province
and rightfully rests with Congress.
Norris does not agree with the wait
ing methods" of Mr.. Lodge, but
would SOAK it to EN-"
Governors Invited Into Boosters
Club.
Lets talk it over" is the sub
stance of suggestion by Secretary
Lane to the governors of the states
of Arizona. California, Colorado, Ida
no, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon,
Utah, Washington, and Wyoming
He wants the gentlemen to take the
bull by the horns and help map out
a program for reclamation work in
the west. The secretary does not
attempt to conceal the fact that there
have been very unsatisfactory returns
from the great majority of these pro-
jects, and at the same time no end
of hardships and loss to the settlers.
AS there is growing tendency
among the states to cooperate in
reclamation projects, one of the OBJ
jects of Secretary Lanes proposal is
to bring the governors together, in
order that everybody may help their
little bit.

PARIS, Sept. 22, 2:3O p. m-An official announce
ment says Along the entire front from the Disc to the
WOevre the Germans yesterday showed some activity,
without appreciable results, however.
"D On our left, the Germans were obliged to yield
before the French attacks Between the Disc and Asne
the situation is unchanged The enemy has made ser
attacks.
"(2) On the center between Rheims and Souain
the enemy attempted an offensive movement, which
repulsed."
Both sides admitted at the beginning of this the sew
enth day of the Aisne battle, that they making
heavy attacks each others centers.
Near Rheims and the heights of CraOnne the French
claimed that the thanking movement against Won Kuck
continues Elsewhere on the one hundred mile 'front.'
both Paris and Berlin agreed, that the armies had ap-
parenty settled down to a slow digging advance
Berlin claims that the Germans captured the Cra-
onne hills eighteen miles northwest of Rheims and also
successfully attacked and forced back slightly the French
army corps at the forest south of Verd The French
admit this retirement.
Paris reported that after brief ull, the French
resumed the CraOnne fighting, killing many Germans
Yesterday the French there resored to hand-tohand
fighting, but is reported that the Germans preferred to
rely on their mortars firing shells six feet long.
The allies claim that fresh French troops have
reached PerOnne which is seventeen miles northwest of
st. Quentin, in a turning movement against Won Kluck
and that this threatens to cut Germany retreat lines
The allies also claim that they have partly penetrated
the German line between Rheims and Argonne further
imperiling the Germans retreat.
On the battle 'front.' the Germans have built under
ground passage ways turned dSused quarreS into FORTS
and now have practically continuous chain of fortfica-
tions about one hundred miles long.

BURGLAR ATTEMPTS
TO GAIN ENTRANCE

A fusillade of pistol shots on north
Washington street, near the Elks hall
about 10 o'clock last night, startled
the citizens of that peaceful neighbor.
hood AL Rice arriving at home about
that hour, discovered a front window
open, that he was confident he had
closed upon going out, and called the
police. When the officer arrived, the
intruder who was evidently hiding on
the front porch, made a break up the
street, and in order to facilitate his
movement, the officer emptied a six
gun after him.
Evidently the intruder had just ar
rived when Mr.. Rice made his ap-
pearance, as there was nothing miss
ing from the home this morning.

Germans Forced Back

Paris, Sept 22.-The western wing
of the German line Ton allies left
wing has been thrust back about sew
en- miles during the last forty-eight
hours as a sequel to continuous fight
ing day and night.
Both armies, despite almost super
human fatigue, show the utmost de-
termination not to yield an inch of
ground without a terrible struggle,
but the fresher troops at the disposal
of the allied commanders have gradu-
ally forced the Germans to recede.
The Turcos are adding dail3 to
their record of daring achievements.
Sunday night in a costly bayonet en-
counter they broke through the Ger
man lines without firing more than a
few shots, and recaptured and brought
back four field guns the French had
abandoned the previous day. They ap-

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 22-
Congressman Carter and the other
members of Oklahoma delegation in
congress are protesting vigorously
against any postponement of the
sale of the surface of the segregat-
ed mineral lands.
1t has been called to the atten-
tion of the commissioner that the
financial stringency might prevent
the procuring of an adequate price
for these lands and a postponement
until spring was suggested.
The Oklahoma representatives. con-
tention is that these lands will be
bought largely by farmers and stock
men and that this class of people
have more money in the fall of the
year than in the spring. and that
the matter should not be further de-
loyed on the uncertainties of finan-
cial conditions.

THE MOVEMENT
BUY-A-BA[E
MUST NOT DIE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PRESl-
DENT URGES PEOPLE TO RE-
VIVE THEIR INTEREST. WHOLE
COUNTRY is AT STAKE.

j. ;. Mullen, president of the Cham
Der OF Commerce, said today, apropos
the buy-a-bale movement:
Some of our good citizens, in view
OF the fact that cotton is selling for
less than ten cents on the street, and
is even selling at all, are of the opin-
ion that they should pursue this sub
ject no further This, if they please,
is error. This is the very essence OF
the move. To prevent the marketing
OF the cotton at this time, and yet
afford those in distress funds with
which to live and pick the remainder
OF their crop-this is the meat of the
proposition. Let all good people here
and elsewhere join in this laudable
move. Admitting that you may lose
three or four dollars, what boots it.,
when the welfare of the south in par
ticuIar and that of the whole coun-
try in general is in the balance. Pa
triotism is yet cardinal virtue in Am
erica.
The railroads are taking a hand in
helping the country. Their policy in
this connection is so much more rad
ically favorable than former years,
that it requires in justice to them,
wide and kindly comment. r. p. Ell
rod, Tor instance, representing the
Frisco system, is in the city for the
purpose of delivering scientific infor-
nation on seed distribution, planting
time 90 into the field and actually
on the ground point out the good to
be derived by certain conduct; they
send bulletins throughout the year on
given subjects; they advise as to mar
keting and the like. Such moves sup
ported by such capital and such wide,
varied and accurate technical infor
nation, if taken advantage of prop.
erly, by those interested must inevi
tably rebound to the interest of all.
Let the farmer get in touch with these
railroad departments, the state depart
ment of agriculture and the still broad
er field that of the federal govern
ment. Life is too short to experiment
yourself. Let the other man expert
ment, and you take advantage of it,

and listening, heed their admonitions

GIN SERVES AS STORAGE.

The United Cotton Seed company,
the officers of which are Walter

Sass, entered the field yesterday as
purchasers of cotton seed. These
people are storing what seed they
buy in the old round bale gin build
ing. belonging to Mr.. Warren, a short
distance north of the Santa Fe sta
tion. The price was put at s12 to
begin with and they made several
purchases their first day in the
market. The price that seed had
brought up to yesterday was SO a
ton.
The same people entered the seed
market last year and raised the price
from s14 to 500 a ton. Many per-
sons are of the opinion this year
that seed should be selling at $50
a ton. and entertain the hope that
such a price will pervail before
many weeks.

MENTS WILL BE MADE.

r. p. Elrod, farm demonstration
with the Frisco Lines. is here from
Sherman. He will put in a demon
stration farm here this spring if he
can get some suitable person who
will take charge of it, He wants a
good farmer who will agree to cul
tivate about ten acres under the
instructions of the railway com
pany Seed will be furnished the
farmer and frequent trips will be
made to the farm in an advisory
way. Corn, cotton, Sedan grass
crimson clover and other crops will
be grown. The Frisco is giving a
great deal of attention to better
farming methods, better marketing
facilities, better dairying and better
horticultural methods. Experts in
each department are sent out to
work along these different lines.
Mr.. Elrod was with the govern
ment when the fight was taken up
against the boil weevil in southern
Texas Out of that campaign in
Texas grew the idea of federal
farm demonstrators. So much was
accomplished that the government
has kept men in its employ ever
since to teach agriculture, and the
railway companies are doing some
valuable work along the same line.
Mr. Elrod held a meeting last
night at the Randol hotel with sew
eral farmers. Among those present
were Robert Scott, w. F. Warren,
VIM. Kirkpatrick, Walter Colbert,
G. W. Young. James r. Talaferro,
and NJ. L. Alexander. The advan-
tage of farm demonstration work
and of seed breeding were gone
into. Mr.. Elrod gave an interesting
lesson on the seed selling graft of
the country and urged people to
breed their own seed where they
intend to plant them.
A deal was closed this morning
with C.. c. Helm, who lives a short
distance east of town, to take the
Frisco work in this county. Mr..
Helm is one of the most progressive
farmers in the county. He has good
teams, he works with the farm dem
onstrators. and is well acquainted
with modern methods of agriculture.
The Frisco could not have gotten
a better man to take its work.
