A second chapter has been added to
the romance Of the Lafayette Kit. Miss
Adele Leuville, whose gift Of comfort
kit reached her old schoolmate, Maurice
Dubois, in the trenches Of the Argonne
on Christmas Day, is now on the high
seas on her way to be nurse with the
French army. This was discovered yes
terday despite the efforts of the La
fayette Kit officials TO suppress 1t, lest
the public should get the impression
that the Kit is sort OF matrimonial
agency.
However, the organizers OF the fund
lent the hand that all the world lends
to lovers when Miss Leuville applied to
them for assistance in making he ar,
engagements for the journey: She sailed
last week on the Niagara. OF the frenSn
line, for Havre. and will enlist with
the field nurses of the French govern
ment. She hopes to be assigned to the
Argonne district. Maurice is there.

TREASURY BILL OPPOSED.
Objection Raised to Requirement Of
Daily Deposit of All Moneys.

Oklahoma City, Feb. 22.-Consid-
cradle opposition has developed, es-
pecially In the school land commits
sion, TO the bill that has been intro
duced in the senate by Senators
Thomas, Pugh, and Logan, which
makes the state treasurer the Of
fetal depository of all state moneys
every day and which also gives to
that official custody of the school
land funds.
Various objections are being urgel
against the bill by those officials who
oppose it, Some of them are not
satisfied with the provision which
requires the state treasurer to in
crease his bond by 100000 insisting
that it will be satisfactory only when
he shall be required to give a sur y
bond in sum equal to go per cent
Of the school money that he would
handle. The amount of the school
land fund is always large. 1t now
has about $500 600 in casa after Just
recently distributing SGO0,D)O as an
apportionment to the schools. ..
Other objections 20 the transfer
that is proposed are di"ersc. Some
of them 90 to The calaci'y Of the
commission to get bette results than
the state treasurer can get Others
are for other reasons.
The school lar1 funds have for
many years been distributed with
banks all over 'ae state ana the IN
iuence that these deposits welded
has been charged to havs had a po-
litical potency that made a good ma
chine for the administration.
1t is noteworthy that rumor is
connecting at least three OF the
present members of the school land
commission with designs upon the
democratic nomination for governor
next time, while the same rumor con-
meets one Of the senators who are
authors of the bill with the same
political aspirations.
