Travers VS.. Ouimet
The last big autumn golf match Of n.

Since Jerry beat Ouimet at Garden

three matches to the Boston star-ona
at Brookline, one at Ekwanok ana ona

of his best efforts to slip notch or two
closer. This match should be interesting

and both have something left over from

although Travers still has his title of open

be taken away-until the next open. AZ

There Is no way of forecasting the ont

TULSA JAIL
BREAKERS ARE
STILL At LARGE
COMMIT ROBBERIES ALONG THE
ROUTE, TERRIFYING PEOPLE.
BELIEF EXPRESSED THEY HAD
OUTSIDE HELP.

Tulsa, Okla, Sept. 15.-Following
their sensational escape from the Tul-
sa county Jail Tuesday night, Fred
Murphy, Charles Smith and f. c..
Moore committed series of hold-ups
that have aroused this entire section
of the state. d. c. Conley and wife,
the victims of their attack at the time
of escape, are near the point of death,
the jailer still being unconscious from
the blow on his head which was de-
livered with a piece of iron pipe.
A few minutes after their escape
the three men held up young man
six blocks from the Jail and left him
without his trousers. Leaving the city,
the three took a north road and over
taking a farmer, made him carry them
several miles in his wagon. Leaving
parties and besides securing some
small change, obtained several re-
volvers.
The authorities state that a strange
man visited the prisoners in their cells
Tuesday morning and that upon leav-
ing told the jailer that he might con-
slider that he had his prisoners hard
and fast, but that no Jail was tight
enough to keep a good man"
1t is thought that this man was a
member of gang and that he gave
the prisoners tools with which to Sc
cure the piece of pipe and to open the
door to the cell.
A reward of $50 has been offered for
the capture of the trio and it is con-
sidered likely that the reward will be
increased.

NOBlEST ACT OF ALL

When the county fair bill was en-
acted the legislature thought it ap-
piled only to one county in the state,
but it was so worded that every coun-
ty might use it and it has proven to be
one of the most useful acts of the last
assembly. Many counties have taken
advantage of the law to organize fair
associations. Its influence has been
felt in both the township and in the
county. Townships vie with one an
other in their displays of products and
live stock. A friendly rivalry exists
among the boys in their corn and hog
CLUBS and among the girls in their
canning and sewing clubs. The county
spirit is being built up. A greater
loyalty to home is being firmly estab-
lished. The merchant and the farmer
are being brought closer together. The
fair spirit is developing some good
town building talent. Men who have
taken but little interest heretofore,
are visiting other counties to see their
displays and are making speeches in
the interest of their county fair, The
fair bill is revolutionizing rural life,
upon the foundation of the county fair
a working friendship and cooperation
is being established between the man
in town and the man in the country.
The county fair will bring bigger
things for the rural districts. The ming
ling together in a common work up
roots selfishness that dwarfs the life
of the country and the life of the indi-
vidual. The county fair has too much
virtue to die. 1t has a principle of
cooperation, principle of thrift, a
priciple cd do something that will
give it permanency.
Carter county can profit by the ex-
ample set by its close neighbors, an
other year, and it would not be a bad
suggestion to combine the fair with
the Labor Day celebration and make
it an annual event.

FOX FEATURE AT ROYAL

YOM MK|PPUR'
Or THE DAY Of
AT0NEMENT
CALENDAR WILL BE UNlVER-
SALLY OBSERVED THIS WEEK
BEGINS AT SUNSET FRIDAY.

"Yom Kippur," or the day }: atone
ment, is the most sacred day in the
Jewish calendar, and is universally
observed throughout the world by or
thodox Jews. So few Gentiles under
stand what the day means to the
Jewish people that the following arti-
Gle, written by Jewish rabbi for the
McAlester News-Capital, is herewith
reproduced in full:
"The initial service is held in he
evening of the 18th of September.
The entire day of the 18th of Septein-
her is devoted to it. The ritual Of
the day is public and congregational,
but its significance is personal.
"The day brings the people toge'n
er, because they share the limitations
of human nature and because they
are equally aware OF the fact that
our careers, whatever they may be
to others, satisfy or dissatisfy our
selves IN accordance with our moral
or immoral interests. This holy day
gives opportunity for earnest thought
on our inner life. The difficulties men
encounter in the course of a busy
year may prove, after self-eXami1a-
ton, to be not DEGREES of God, but
instances of their shortcom. ags The
ancients frankly and humbly cal cd
them sins
"The "reminiscences of centuries
cling to this day OF days and make
its lessons suggestive and impress
i've. In ancient times priestly solemn
iries invested it with dignity and the
prosecutions of later times gave It
p2thos and intense fervor. 1t is al
ways a salutary experience to face
the facts of this life as they are,
tc realize that there are illusions and
telusions, to bring home to ourselN es
the truth that we work under the
limitations of mind, heart and WI.
Men who feel their responsibilit es
will neither ignore this reminder CT
eyade the appeal. They will frankly
avow the shortcomings of their com
ron human nature in the midst ot
their fellow men. The day of atoue
Tent is not for selfish privacies, es
little as for penitence, which is merely
penance. 1t is for moral uplift, by
which we may acquire moral strength.
The first act of moral health is hi.
mility.
"The ritual of the day expresses
cpenness, sympathy and a desire to
attain to moral will. And so do
the customs of the day. Fasting is
meant as a discipline of self-control,
the sponsor of many virtues. Con-
centration upon the prob ems of
character makes it easy and noble.
Public confession of sins is an oct
c, will, an assertion of the best in
ones self. The day brings men to-
{ ether in a consciousness of their |
common mortality. Judaism makes |
men genuinely democratic; it max IS |
