Knockers and Guthrie s Well Being

A few days since man from Texas
came to Oklahoma looking for invest
ments. He visited several cities,
among them Guthrie. Here he was
particularly pleased with the lay of
the city and the educational advant-
ages offered Following drive over
the city, he began a casual brushing
against the citizenry He was puzzled
over the answers to interrogatories he
propcunded relative TO the town. In
stead of hope and optimism pervading
the talk of townsmen, tones of depres-
sion were heard In some instances
downright actual knocks were pre-
sented. The knocking emanated, for
the most part, from the ranks of
realty men. Whether this was due to
envy. jealousy or downright grabbed
ness, could not be determined, hut
suffice to say the visitor delayed
making deal for home.
Instead of hearing expressions, This
is bully town; the best ever; we
have here all the natural and acquired
advantages of modern city; the
town is in fine shape; the schools are
the best to be found in the southwest;
law and order; fine church spirit, and
liberal feeling, withal, etc, etc." he
heard the yelp of calamity and the
municipal gallop of the witches of
Endor.
A business man said Eyes, the
town is all right, / reckon, but bust

RASPBERRY, MOTOR
CRASH VICTIM

Guy Raspberry, high school boy in
jured Friday afternoon in an auto
collision on Vine and Warner, was
reported resting well Saturday after
noon. The lad underwent an opera
ton Friday evening and rallied. He
is conscious and cheerful today but
is suffering pain from the injuries
received in the chest. Physicians
say the greatest danger is from COM
plications that may later set in. The
injured boys room at the hospital Is
banked with flowers sent by friends
I'm going to get well" he said to-
day. The cars in collision were not
speeding, but were heavily loaded
with school girls bound for the
football game. Young Raspberry was
crouching or reclining on the running
board of the car driven by Miss Iona
Wallace. This car and the car driv-
an by Miss Dorothy Holman collided
at a sharp corner. The front tenders
and running boards of each car were
smashed before Raspberry could jump
to safety.

Overturned was killed.

These two scenes show what took
place within six miles of Brownsville
the other day when Mexican bandits
tore up rail from the track of the
st. Louis, Brownsville & Texas rail-
road to wreck train. Ten Mexicans
were shot by posses the following day.
A state health officer, who was a
passenger, was Shot to death by the
bandits, and the engineer was killed
when his locomotive overturned. One
other life was lost.
In order to prevent posses and
United States troops reaching the
scene from Brownsville the bandits
burned bridge between the scene Of
the wreck and the city. How
thoroughly they did their work may
be seen from the rails hanging across
the burned piles.

ANOTHER LONG TIME
RESIDENT IS DEAD

Mrs. Nancy Martin go years of
age, long time resident of Guthrie,
passed beyond at $3.50 Thursday af-
ternoon at the M. e. hospital, where
she had underwent an operation. The
deceased was born in Custer county
Illinois in 1855 and came to Oklaho-
ma shortly after the opening of the
country to settlement. She had been
i'll for about a year. Funeral servic-
es will be held at the Episcopal
church at o'clock Sunday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. A. B. NICHOLAS.
Burial will be made in Irsmmit View
cemetery. She leaves eight children,
8 girls and 3 boys, all Of whom will

who are strangers to sweetness and
light. 1t is too bad that they can not
be segregated for the benefit of those
who live and not merely exist.
1t is not necessary to employ ex-
aggeration and hyperbole in depicting
the advantages of Guthrie, but even
this were commendable compared to
hydraulic compliment or undermined
tribute.
While the growth of Guthrie has not
been as rapid as that allegedly enjoyed
by other cities of the state, Guthrie is
not repining. The town is going up
ward and onward. She is yet in her
morning and her face is to the sun.
AS matter of fact and history it
may be said that business in Guthrie
is surprisingly good; that merchants
are increasing their stocks and the
consolidated bank deposits Of the city
are larger now than for the corre-
spending period last year. The school
attendance has increased twenty-five
per cent The present year sees the
Methodist university permanently in
stalled, with property of it's own and
an endowment of s25O,00O Forthcoming.
Guthrie's trade territory. also is en-
ioying commendable growth. The
debts contracted by farmers prior to
the drouth three years ago are being
wiped out by the acreage of this year.
Taken, by and large, Guthrie and
her environs are doing exceptionally
well. 1t is only the knocker and NAL
content who is worried and depressed.

SUITS To START AGAINST
ADMINISTRATORS

A number of suits against admins
traitors of estates will probably be
started soon, as a result of the check
up now being made of the old records
in county court. Many discrepancies
have already been discovered. A
number of administrators have made
no report of any kind in years. "There
must be an accounting of every penny
involved" said Judge Chappelle to-
day.
"The records of the county court,

(By Associated Press,

Chicago. NOV. University OF
Chicago professors intend to improve
the reading ability OF the coming gen.
GRAFTON by means of machinery.
The general educational board OF
New York City, supported by the
Rockefeller foundation, is financing
research work at the Midway in the
cause and correction OF poor reading
and penmanship. Under the general
direction Of DR.. Charles III. Judd, C..
Truman Gray, who came to Chicago
from the University of Texas, is max
ing the research in reading, and r.
N. Freeman, assistant professor of
educational psychology, the research
in writing.
Prot. Gray has set up sort of
reading clinic. In his laboratory is a
large tube shaped piece of apparatus
for taking moving pictures of the
eye movements during reading. It
aseertains how many times the read
er's eyes move while reading line,
how many times they stop and at
what part of the line they stop.
Alongside this is a delicate phone
graph used to reproduce each syllable
read. This enables DR.. Gray to study
the readers enunciation. There al
so is an attention apparatus" ma
chine similar to steropticon which
projects the material to be read and
snaps off the projection at will by
means of a shutter.
The purpose of the apparatus is to
determine how far ahead Of the spok-
en- word the mind is reading. For
instance, If the last sentence were
projected by the machine and the
light had been snapped off when you
we're reading apparatus" you would
be able to speak a few more words,
those which were in your mind. The
greater the number Of these words
the more fluent the reader.
DR. Gray also takes d breathing
record Of the pupil under inyestiga-
ton.
His general scheme of operation is:
He selected from classes in the uni
yersity elementary school pupils who
are poor in reading. He has the pu-
pill read orally and silently from Sc
lections which are made gradually
more difficult. He tests the power Of
reproduction and then uses the ma
chimes.
Thus DIR. Gray is enabled to find
out most Of the causes for poor read
ing, and to make recommendations
for correction. early results have
been most encouraging.
Prof. Freeman is employing similar
methods in regard to writing.

ADDED EQUIPMENT
FOR AURORA MILL

New equipment to supplement the
settling capacity of the Aurora Con
solidated mill is beginning to arrive
at the plant and the last carload will
be shipped from the factory in New
Jersey on the 23rd of the present
month. according to statement made
in Reno yesterday by Albert Burch,
general manager of the property and
consulting engineer for the Goldfield
Consolidated company, which controls
the Aurora Consolidated The plant
is expected to be in full operation
and again treating 500 tons daily by
the first OF April at the latest.
The additions now being made to
the big plant are designed to effect
an increasing saving of the gold con
tent of the ore, which is for the most
part of comparatively low grade, but
is susceptible to treatment by pro-
cesses that are inexpensive, and it is
believed that with the installation OF
the new settling equipment a high
recovery will be effected The prod.
uet is chiefly in the form of zinc pre-.
cipitates, and this is shipped to the
Goldfeld Consolidated mill and re-
dueed to bullion in the refinery of the
latter company.
