KEEPS CLOSE AT WORK
Frank L. Moore, Government lnspec.
tor, Is Never Off Duty.

Frank l.. Moore, who is inspector
for the federal government on the
building which is being constructed
for the United States postoffice and
federal court is so thoroughly de-
voted to his work that he scarcely
spends a minute away rom the con-
struction work during the daylight
hours. While he is not presumed to
assume the position o. foreman for
the construction company, there is
not a detail of the work that he
does not keep in close touch with
and no workman proceeds very far
in the wrong direction without hav-
ing his attention called TO the error.
At times, when the men are not at
work, Mr.. Moore goes carefully over
the entire works, and on the holiday
yesterday, he spent much time in
looking over the work. Mr.. Moore's
home is in Wichita, Kan, and he
has been inspector for the federal
government for the past eight years.

MUNICIPALITY
OWNED STREET
RY. SYSTEM
QUESTION is BEING QUIETLY IN
VESTlGATED - FOURTH WARD
is OBJECTIVE POINT, IF ANY
THING MATERIALlZES.

How about a municipally-owned
street railway system?"
This question, like all other ques-
tions where municipal ownership is
concerned, has been discussed for a
number OF years, and wherever APP
piled seems to work successfully, as
for instance the municipally-owned
tram systems of foreign countries,
notably Germany, and there should
be no good reason why sound busi-
ness principles applied to an enter
prise should not prove successful as
well when owned by the people as
when owned by corporation. The
thought was suggested from remarks
heard yesterday and today relative to
the street railway system Of this city.
There is little doubt but what, if
the system had been extended to the
southeastern part of the city to the
parks and fair grounds, and to the
cemetery, it would have Geen a pay
ing proposition, but as it is now,
it seems to be barely able to exist,
unless it is taken up and operated by
the city.
A movement has been quietly start
ed in this direction, and after a thor
ough investigation it can be accom-
plished the affairs of the traction may
pass into hands that will be able to
operate, extend the service where de-
manded by the people and gradually
be made a paying proposition
The street railway system of this
city, in its present condition, is of
small value to inviduals, but if it
could be owned and operated as a
plant, new lines laid and
old ones placed in good repair, it is
believed by very conservative busi-
ness men that the plant could be
made to pay a dividend.
Something may or may not come of
the investigation now going on rela-
tive to this proposition. Time alone
will tell. The people of the Fourth
ward offered snug bonus at one |
time for the street railway to extend !
10 the park and cemetery Perhaps |
his might be revived in the future. |

The ensilage cutter on Robert F.

when the machinery went wrong the

inches, has holes running through Il

FIFTY MILLION SHIPMENT
FROM ENGLAND TO NEW YORK

Bangor, Maine, Sept. G-The An
glo-French mission sent to America
In connection with the question of
American exchange did not arrive at
Halifax today as expected. 1t was
believed they would come on the fast
cruiser Argyle, which brought the
third consignment of gold and securi-
ties probably amounting TO approxi-
mately $50,00O,00O, from England to
strengthen the British credit in AM
erica. The cruiser made the trip in
the unusual time of four days and
seven hours.
The gold was transferred to a spec
ial train which left for New York this
afternoon. 1t should reach its destina-
ton Tuesday night or Wednesday
morning. Word of the arrival OF the
ship was received here from authori-
tative sources.
The train, heavily guarded by en-
ployes of an express company which
is responsible for the safe delivery
of the gold, left Halifax at one o'clock
and is due at Vanceboro at midnight.
If its schedule is maintained, it
should reach New York late tomor-
row.

Joint Attack on Riua.

London, Sept THE menace to
Riga, an important Russian seaport
in the Baltic, is becoming more SER
ious. The Germans still hold the
bridgehead at Friedrichstadt, the oc-
cupation of which effectively cuts off
Riga's railroad communication to the
south, while German aircraft are act
i've in the gulf, perhaps presaging an
other naval clash as part of a con-
certed German movement by land and
sea to complete the isolation OF the
city and force its abandonment by
the Russians.
According to an unofficial Berlin
dispatch received by way of Copenha-
gen, the Germans claim lossession of
the gulf, the Russians having aban-
doned Dagoe, the northernmost of
the three islands just outside of the
gulf

cation lays no claim to further pro-

GREAT CROWDS - EXHIBITS
WERE FINE.

Colonel Sidney Suggs has returned
from Erick, in Beckham county, where
he delivered an address upon the
subject of good roads at .he Beckham
county fair
Col. Suggs states that the fair was
a revelation to him. The products OF
the farm, the orchard. the garden,
the dairy, were most abundantly dis
played and the display made by the
girls canning clubs of that county
will put a damper on the high cost of
living in that vicinity.
Col. Suggs states that the exhibit
shown at Erick will be taken as the
county exhibit to the state fair, and
he says the county that has better
display than Beckham will have to
go some"
Col. Suggs states that he was most
cordially entertained by he officials
of the fair association, and by the
citizens of Beckham county. and cs.
pecially by Judge J. A. N,nton, Mr..
Gillian, c. c. Cabiness and Mr.. Pyles.

yesterday report that the flies are so
bad that it is almost impossible to
control work animals, and the flies
are also interfering with dairy cattle.
While the flies are unusually bad in
the entire country, they are much
worse in the grain belt, They seem
to use the straw stacks as breeding
places and are much worse on the
farms where threshing has been done

Spring Hats Worn
Earlier Each Year
Milady Tires of Winter Toys
and Dons Spring Finery-
Styles in Millinery.

Each year there is a greater dispo-
sition to don the hat of straw earlier
Here are descriptions of some models
that will help you in your choice and
be correct.
There is one haN which is a close
turban with a high upturned brim
There is a dent in the edge, and on
the top is a fan of colored straw in
different colors This is quite large
and has a trimming of beads on the
outer edge. A facing of black velvet
comes from the hair line to the me-
dian line of the brim.
In a quaint style there is revival
of the sugar scoop. This is Of straw
and has a dropping brim that is held
under the chin by ribbon velvet tied
in a bow at the side. AT the back
there is q cluster of roses that holds
the brim far out above the hair. The
scoop is not becoming to all types of
faces.
Another hat that suggests the nurs-
cry ladies is of a dropping peach
basket type. This is simply trimmed
with a band Of velvet ribbon caught
at the front with a square buckle.
There is a velvet ribbon that is at
tached at the side and brought under
the chin, and on it's ends are small
cherries.
A Russian toque that has a high
dome-like crown with q plastrOn of
Russian embroidery at the side ap-
piled in a point. This fits over the
hair with a straight line at the front.
Wings trim a small hat that fits
down closely over the head, the wings
rising from the under part of the
brim and from a point directly over
this attachment.
Another favorite is a hat that is
round and has a brim of fabric seal
Hoped at the edge. At one side of the
crown is a cluster of bright berries.
There are novelty shapes that are
stunning on the unusual-loOking wO-
man, but must be worn with discre-
ton. One of these is a hat with a
brim that is turned squarely up at
] the back revealing all the hair and
necessitating a smartly arranged
couture.
Another unique shape has a boat
contour the length being from the
| front TO back, and a band of velvet
| ribbon crossing over the top of the
crown and under the brim, rolling VI
/ the brim from the head.
| Hats that are high up at one side
and made higher still by quilts are tC
be the favorite tailored types
Small hats of straw will defy the
brisk winds, and for the hot summer
days there will be large and low pic
ture hats that complete the garden
