BERLIN WIDOWS
WANT HUSBANDS
tBy Associated Press.)

BERLIN, July 2-The war has given
"a sudden and unprecedented impetus
to the marriage brokerage" game, and
advertisements for husbands-war in
yalids in many caseS-Were never so
plentiful as at present. Many women
exhibit an irresponsible desire to get
married right away and appear to be
quite unconcerned about the kind of a
husband they get.
Individual women who want to get
married at any cost are not the only
ones, however. who have taken advant-
age of the unusual situation. The
more or less shady matrimonial agen-
cies are making money while the sun
shines, and apparently stop at moth
ing in order to turn a questionable
.pfennig.
Thus men hae, in some name"
secured the names and addresses of
women whose husbands have been
killed at the front, and intrude upon
their grief with brazen offers of second
husbands. The men for the most part
are mere adventures, but in few
cases are invalid soldiers either anx-
ious for home or beguiled into let
ting their names be used.

which by the way are the homeliest
brutes l ever hope to see, were out
fitted in exactly the same manner as
though they were to make a journey
across the real Arabian Desert.
l guess that there is really very little
difference in the Arabian Desert and
our own American Desert. At any
rate the Arabian Desert cannot be any
worse. There are miles and miles of
soft sand into which the feet sink and
when there is even the slightest wind,
the clouds of sand circulate about
moving figures and almost suffocate
one.
We moved out into the desert with
our caravan completely equipped as
though we were going to cross a real
big desert In earnest. There we're the
strings Of camels with their long,
scrawny necks bedizened with tinkling
bells and made gay by strips and
streamers of gay colored cloths. We
had real Arabs to handle the camels
and those who rode on horseback had
genuine Arab horses of the very finest
breed.
This was really business trip and

and weirdest ever endured.
You, who have read the novel of
Harold MacGrath, will recall that the
principal scenes in "The Carpet From
Bagdad" are laid in the great Arabian
Desert, and some of the principal
characters are Arabs; so Mr.. Colin
Campbell, in making his arrangements
for appropriate properties, bought a
lot of real and most interesting Ara
bfan trappings, including those won
derfulfy striped tents, bales and bales
of beautiful rugs, camel harness, those
peculiar Arab guns so beautifully in
laid with mother-of-pearl and studded
with Jewels, great water jars, etc. The
garments made In Arabia especially
for those who were to participate in
"The Carpet From Bagdad" were sup
piled in ample quantities, so that we
could look the part and be presented
to the world as the genuine article.
From the big Selig Jungle-Zoo out
at Eastlake, in Los Angeles, Mr.. Camp
bell made a requisition for about
twenty camels. You can just imagine
a man writing requisition on a slip
of paper just as though it were for
twenty papers of pins, or twenty ar
tfcles of any kind. These camels,

There was a consultation yesterday

no definite decision was reached. Mr..

it is believed now an operation may
be averted at this time. 1t was stated,

Arabian Nights Tale,
1t looked like a tale out Of the
Arabian Nights when our caravan
started across the desert. The pierre
ing rays of the sun fell upon us with
out mercy as the day was hot, but we
all enveloped our heads and faces in
the voluminous folds of Arab cloths,
so that the sitting sand dust did not
bother US as much as we expected.
Following behind the strictly orien-
tai caravan came the upto-date Amer
lean parade, consisting of huge wag-
ons, many of which bore enormous
tanks containing thousands Of gallons
of water. This was special provision
made at the instructions of Mr.. Selig,
and for which we were all grateful be-
fore another day had passed These
enormous wagons were hauled by a
number of pairs of horses-sixteen or
twenty do not remember which.
They were equipped with broad tires
so that the wheels did not sink deeply
into the sand. They were especially
constructed for use on the desert. Be-
hind the big tank wagons came other
wagons loaded with tents, provisions,
cooking utensils and the entire camp
outfit.
Through the thoughtfulness Of Mr.
Selig our provisions were not limited
to necessities. There were countless
additions to the ordinary larder, and
there was one huge wagon loaded with
ice. When we camped for the night,

If some old Arab sheik could have
stumbled in on US with, the expectation
of finding real desert camp, he would
have been shocked and Mortified to
find how comfortable and pleasant a
desert camp can be made with the use
of modern appliances and conven-
fences.
The next morning I was invited to
ride one of the camels. I proceeded
to do this, and it was not my first ex-
perience, but a. short session was am
ply sufficient. l was very glad to get
back into our big, roomy automobile
and give somebody else the privilege
of riding the ungainly brute that
plunged and shook so that it was no
sinecure to remain on his back.
Life in the desert does not amount
to much. Occasionally one of the men
would dash off to one side of road
and shoot the head off rattle-snake.
At various points along the silent trail
were the bleaching bones of oxen,
horses, burros and other animals. They
explained to me that the bones OF
human beings who had died on the
trail had been given burial. That was
the reason we did not see any human
skeletons; but we were told that many
persons had met their death along the
gruesome desert path.

Myrle SpradIing Killed

A telegram was received Sunday by
Mrs, j. B, Spradling bringing the sad
intelligence that her son, Clyde Myrle,
had that day been killed In motor
cycle accident. The body arrived
Wednesday and interment was made
in the Liberal cemetery.
Clyde Myrle Spradling was born In
Sylvia, Kansas, February I, 1889. He
lived with his parents in Sylvia until
10 years of age, he worked three years
in Hutchinson, and came to Liberal
with the other members of the fam
lily in 1907. In 1909 he joined the
United States navy, In which he
served until last march, when he re-
signed to accept position as motor
cycle police at Lake Forest, Illinois.
He was first master at arms In the
navy at the time of his resignation.
1t seems that there were number of
joy-riders on his beat on the day he
was killed, and he was travelling south
on his machine at the rate of 40 miles
an hour trying to keep track Of some
speeders; an automobile travelling
east came around bunch of trees,
and before he could stop he had run
into 1t with such force that death
was the result. Death was instan-
taneous, and the accident was of such
nature that embalming was imposs-
IDLE and no church funeral could be
held after the body arrived. G. w.
Waltenhof, acting mayor of Lake
Forest, accompanied the body to
Liberal.
This death has been doubly sad by
reason Of its unexpectedness, and the
fact that MYrle intended to come to
Liberal In few weeks on q visit to
his mother and relatives. MRS. Sprad-
ling was prostrated with grief when
she first heard the sad news.
A short burial service was held
by Rev. Bolton at the grave, and the
body was laid to rest amid a huge
floral Offering The friends Of the
Spradling family join us In extending
the hand OF sympathy In their hour
Of sadness.

opened fire on Smith and John Lyman
with rifle, and Lyman is carrying a
small flesh wound In the shoulder
from bullet. Dobbs fired several
shots at the other two men, and
Smith claims he fired In self defense.
He came to town and gave himself
up to sheriff Dobson as soon as the
deed was done. He Is under a thous-

Justice Millman for preliminary
trial. Smith has sworn out warrant
against Dobbs for assault with intent

Aside from checking fermenta-

spelling of the cream, the use of

Proper Cooling.

The following is Part of an
article on "Cream that Makes
Good Butter" by Professors Hun
ziker and Ogle;
The spelling of cream, as we'll as
the decomposition and putrefac.
ton of other foodstuffs, is caused
by germ life, bacteria, yeast and
molds. Like other living organ
isms, germs require warmth to
thrive. In the absence of warmth
they are inactive and are unable
to continue their work of destruc.
ton.
When the cream comes from the
separator it is warm and in ideal
condition for bacterial decomposi-
ton and spelling. If it is cooled
promptly, the activity of the bac-
terra is checked and the cream
will keep sweet for a reasonable
length of time. The lower the
temperature to which it is cooled,
the longer it will keep in normal
condition. Cooling to the temper
allure of the water available on the
average farm alone greatly retards
bacterial action and prevents
spelling, Cream should be cooled
at once. after it leaves the sepa-
rator.
Prompt cooling is net possible
by merely letting the cans stand
in the air, Air is a very poor con-
ductor of heat. The cans must be
set in water. Water cools cream
about thirty times as fast as air.
Set the cream cans in a trough,
tight box, tank or half barrel con
tanning. water. If running water
is available, let the water run
through the tank continuously; if
not, fill the tank up with fresh wa
ter at least once every IL hours
If the cooling tank is connected
with the stock watering trough,
the water needed for the stock
serves to cool the cream by run.

Stir. the cream frequently to has
ten the cooling and 10 keep it in

warm cream into cold cream; this
practice spoils the whole bath.
Cool the warm cream in sepa-
rate can before mixing. The dairy
supply houses are now putting on
the market cooling tanks which
provide for two cans for this very
purpose. If you cannot conven-
iently make your own tank, or
have it made locally, ask your
creamery to secure tank for you,
