Contractor Coffman stated this
morning.that the addition to the Grady
county court house would be complet.
ed the first Of the ensuing month. This
work will include the installation of a
large, fireproof vault on the first floor
The installation, or the building of
the vault will be of great value to the
taxpayers of the county II will afford
them the knowledge that a safe place
has at last been provided for the care
of the public documents, the records,
etc. Heretofore, the always present
danger OF fire has rendered the safe
keeping OF the public's papers and
records very questionable, in spite of
all the care and attention of the most
efficient office forces in every depart
ment Of the country's government.
In addition to the vault, the im-
proyement work on the court house in
cludes the addition of four commodious

Dull THUD OF
PICSKIN HEARD

Chicago, Sept. 20.-The dun thud OF
the booted pigskin was the dominant
note in the middle western sporting
world today for coaches of the nine
universities composing the western
conference took charge OF their squads
for the first time At all OF the schools
preliminary practice mas been held fer
several weeks but today the coaches
were permitted by the conference rules
to go on the field for the first prac-
tice.
The question that Icomed highest to-
day was whether Illinois. champions of
1914. viii repeat With almost vet.

stories emanating from Champaign. is

sofa, Wisconsin and Chicago the pref
erence for the title. Minnesota grew
steadily stronger as the season ad-
vanced last year With large squad
of old men back it appears that Coach
Williams eleven must be counted in
the fight No Big Nine title is ever
settled without Wisconsin being a fac
tor. Led by Coach Juneau the Goph-
ers are doped as much stronger than
last year when they tied with Chicago
for third place. Chicago is the Lone
Big Nine .eam that appears weaker
The Maroons lost Des Jardien and
Gray last year but the loss OF stars

such--which pursued Iowa last year is

gone at the start Of practice today and
appears in sore straits.
Not less bright than is the outlook
for the Big Nine leaders is the outlook
for the two tail end teams OF last year,
Northwestern and Indiana. Both led
by Yale men changed their style last
year to an adapted eastern form. OF
course both suffered for a year but
this year the conference is looking
with interest and some fear on the
products Of Murphy at Northwestern

who were acting in a rather suspicious
manner in the edge of the residence

came from merchants In Ozark and
Howell counties, in Missouri, and In
Randolph, Fulton and Baxter counties
In northern Arkansas.
For four successive years, 1t was
stated, the crops in these counties
have been killed by drouth. The coun-
try merchants report that hundreds OF
farmers are in q bad plight and out
side help must be had to cope with
conditions. Many have barely enough
food to get through the winter and no
money with which to purchase seeds
for planting. The Springfield business
men are asked to sell 1000 bushels OF
seed corn to needy farmers in each OF
these counties on credit, and to wait
until the harvest for reimbursement.
Other cities whose firms sell goods IN
the five counties will be asked for
similar assistance.

He Is now living very quietly in small

Summers case points a moral. by tho
wsy. He ruined his career because he
couldn't get over the idea that he was
man who could think up so many things
to have the matter with him. If any
body ever mentioned q malady, Eddie
would imme ediatelv think that he had
physique and he ought to have lasted a
