The feat of the four Notre Dame
students who walked to Chicago to
attend The Notre Dame-Carlisle game
and made the trip on a cash expendi-
ture OF eighty cents was, by compar-
ison, a feeble exploit. The night the
X. U. team came home from Lincoln
the Pullman conductor had occasion
to examine an upper berth which had
been sold to and, presumably, was
occupied by a student. He discov-
cred that five luckless hackers of the
X. U. team were sleeping in it. = I"
A division superintendent of the road
had charge of the students special.
He worked like a Turk during the
earlier part of the evening and along
about eleven o'clock decided to go to
bed. Crawling into an upper he COM
posed imself to slumber. An hour
or two later he was awakened by
another traveller who was crawling
into the berth with the apparent in
tent to occupy it. The d. s. was per-
turbed and annoyed and audibly
manifested his annoyance. what
are you doing in here?" he growled.
Hush, you damn fool" said the
other. here comes the conductor. -

SI EAR STEAL

Tommy White, the self-confessed
triple murderer, was sentenced In
Great Bend Wednesday of this week,
to life in the state penitentiary.
White had confessed to the murder
of Lee Morgan, the big Barton county
farmer, and two others.
Whites mother also was in court,
When the boy was brought in she
broke down and threw her arms
about his neck. He pleaded guilty.
He said he had nothing to say, and
listened to a scoring from the judge
which affected the spectators, but
did not seem to impress him in the
least. AS the sheriff led him FROM
the courtroom he didn't glance to-
ward his mother.
The courtroom was crowded, and
a crowd of deputies guarded the
locked doors of the courtroom. Lou
McCurley, whom White named in his
first confession as his accomplice and
who, he said in a later confession a
few days ago, had nothing to do with
it, was dismissed, the county attor-
ney stating that he could not file in
formation against him, and recon-
mended his release, but added that
certain information in the Office OF
the attorney would be followed up
regardless of the confession of White.

The retirement of Miss Grace Nor
gan as editor of the Liberal Demo-
crat, leaves Miss Maude Thomas of
the Beaver Herald and "us" again
alone in the field in this section of
the state. Politics is a peculiar
thing. 1t has been the means OF
making" many men, and of break
ing" just as many. After all, there
is a fascination about politics, and
politicians, like musicians, seldom fit
well any where else. 1t seems
strange, but nevertheless it is true,
that when one gets into politics, his
enemies Immediately conclude that
they have a license to Sling mud
of all shades and varieties. About
the meanest, the smallest and the
thing that makes the fellow appear
the most insignificant and which
thoroughly exposes his principles, is
the man or the woman who will
make a candidates religion a polit-
ical issue.-Meade News.

cottonseed Oil as Foods

Italy. France, and other countries
in southern Europe consume consid-
cradle oil in their diet, Olive oil
has long heen their staple but in
the past few years considerable cot
tonseed oil has been consumed, be-
ing cheaper and of equal food value.
It has been imported from Us and
the high priced olive oil sold to us
and to other countries. The north
ern countries of Europe. such, for In
stance as Germany, and the Neither
lands, while not consuming oil di-
rectly as food, make butter from II
called. margarin. 1t is reported by
Edward w. Thompson, commercial
agent of the Department of Com
merce of the European nations that
they are making annually $50 thou
nand tons of margariu, and in 1913
800 thousand barrels of cottonseed
oil from America was used. 1t is
said that this amount will be in
creased in 1914.
A process has been found for so
lidifying liquid oils in which cotton
seed oil has begun to compete with
hard cocoanut oils, which sells at a
higher price than olive oil. conse-
quently cottonseed oil IL becoming
very valuable ingredient for arti-
Ificial butter, which is relished by the
Europeans. In times of war butter
made by artificial PROCESS sa great
deal more convenient for the army
than the bulky foods such as meat
and we may expect to furnish our
neighbors who are at war with each
other to use more oil.
Cottonseed oil we are told, con-
tains ten times as much nutrition
as beef steak and costs only half as
much. Since we produce it in the
United States over million barrels
of refined oil year economy de-
msnds that we make better use OF
it as food at homo. There are mum
erous ways by which we could uss
this oil as food and our country
would be richer for it.
, Business judgment demands thai
we devise means of holding our cot
ton and our cotton oil products un.
til Europe is ready to take these pre-
ducts at satisfactory prices to us.

Big Alfalfa Campaign

The campaign of the Eastern Ok
lahoma Agricultural Association for
the extending of the alfalfa and live
stock industry 1 nOklahoma will be
started at Muskogee on September
i.
"Our Slogan" says w. l. Drum
mond, secretary of the e. o. A. A
is "A million acres OF alfalfa for
Eastern Oklahoma" We want to
make the farmers of Eastern Okla
homa realize that they are robbing
the soil of all its fertility If they
continue to grow such crops as
wheat and cotton on the land con-
tinuously. The crop which adds.
rather than detracts from the fertii-
lity of the soil is alfalfa. 1t grows
from the water and the air as it
were. The farmers of this country
will never have the big barns the
automobiles. and the look of pros
perity that the northern farmers
have unless they turn their water
and air into money, rather than the
land. Alfalfa means livestock and
livestock means something to sell
the year around, And that is what
the Oklahoma farmer needs"
