THE ORGANIZATION.

The ramrod of the Democratic party OF
Polk county is now engaged in the quest
iouable occupation of trying to line up the
bows for Luke Lea on the plea that the Of
ganization' is for him.
Was the organization tor J. +. ANDERSON
in the Ducktown postofice matter!
Was the organization for Scion AklnS IN
the Copperhill postofice matter?
Was the organization for A. W Ander-
son in the same fight?
It looks very much to US like the orsanl-
zation'' is in bad with the boys when they
remember that, in their time OF need II
was for some one else.
1t we're better to put it that Luke was
promised the solid Democratic vote OF
Polk county if he would redlstrlct IT. ana
now that he has delivered the goods ne
should be rewarded.
The beauties of this redistricting bill are
now apparent to all and it remains to be
seen whether or not Polk county emo
cracy can be delivered, bag and baggage,
boots and saddle, at the behest OF few
politicians.

of Polk county, Tenn.
Complainants would respectfully show and
represent III to your honor: That they are
citizens, taxpayers and freeholders, through
the attorney general of this judicial circuit,
on behalf of them. brings this suit.
Compliments charge that the defendant,
w. F. Russell, was, in August, 1912, elect
ed to the office of Justice of the peace for
Polk county, duly and legally indicted
into said Office and which duties he has
since exercised and is now acting in that
capacity That short while before he
was elected Justice of the peace he entered
into a contract with Polk county, being
associated with one Center, to build GER
tain roads for Polk county; and notwith-
standing he was elected justice of the
peace in August after he had made said
contract with Polk county and participated
in the deliberations of the county court of
said county, he continued to contract with
said county and build roads for same. un-
til in 1914 he and his associates had drawn
from the treasury of said county 81 1000;
Notwithstanding this fragrant violation of
the law in contracting with the county al
ter. he became Justice of the peace and
participated in the deliberations of the
county court, the defendant, in the year
1914, entered into a contract with the pike
road commissioners of Polk county by
which he sold them one road roller at the
price of $1,000; and in the year 1915 sold
said commissioners one rock crusher for
1915. Each of said items was paid the de-
PENDANT from the treasury of Polk county.
Compliments therefore charge that the
road contracting with the sale of the above
articles were and are strictly violations of
tie law and for which defendant is guilty
of such violations of the law and him act
ing as Justice of the peace and member
Of the county court at the time, that he
should be ousted from office as justice OF
the peace and member of the county court
of said county.

GERMANY DISCOVERS METHOD
MAKING SOAP FROM SUGAR

Hamburg, July 1O.-The discovery
is announced Of method of manutac-
ture of soap from sugar, of which Ger
many has plenty, instead of from oil,
which is scarce. In the past it has
been possible to use sugar only in
soaps that had little value. By the
new method, it is claimed, the soap
produced is not only fine and delicate,
but it acts as efficiently in salt water
as in fresh-a fact that may make the
soap valuable for the navy.
Articles that formerly had to be
sent to chemical laundries can now be
washed with the new kind of soap.
The finest kinds of silks, it is llleged,
not only are not harmed byi t, but
their colors are brought out as bril-
liantly as new. In addition the sugar
soap seems to be responsible for a
minimum of the wear and tear occa-
stoned by old-fashioned cleansing
soaps.

of his personal staff worked sixteen

returns from their nationwide cam
paign for munitions laborers was
found to be in excess of all eXpecta-
tions.
The munitions courts which will
deal with offenses under the new mu-
nitions act, are to be made up of a

with an equal representation of EN-

BERLIN PROTESTS AGAINST
FULL SKIRTS FOR WOMEN

Berlin. July 1O.-The Frankfurter
Zeitung publishes protest against
the lack of patriotism of German wom-
en- who are following the new fash
ion of wearing full skirts The extra
cloth required by the new fashion, ex-
plains the journal, could be put to bet
ter use:
"It is quite possible that the full
skirts are more sensible and more
pleasant. But why must our women
adopt this new fashion at the precise
moment when we have to be very eco
nomical in our use of wool and cot
ton? A simple calculation will show
that it takes twice as much material
to make a skirt as it did year ago,
and if one multiplies this increased
consumption by the number of ladies
who follow the fashion, one arrives at
an astounding figure. German fashions
today ought to put all considerations
behind that of patriotism. They ought
TO consider first of all how we are to
economic our small stock of raw ma
terias."

London, July 1O.-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press David Lloyd
George. minister of munitions, has
proved himself a man of push and

that pervades the new department
would do credit to an American bust
firm. During the first week of its eX-
istence it opened 400 local bureaus for
recruiting munitions workers; set up
a large central staff; wrote and placed
eighty full-page newspaper advertise
ments; issued 100000 posters and

SCRIPTURE
Luke 7:1-1o.

Now when he had ended all his say
ings in the audience of the people, he
entered into Capernaum.
And certain centurion's servant,
who was dear unto him, was sick, and
ready to die.
And when he heard of Jesus, he sent
unto him the elders of the Jews, be-
seeching him that he would come and
heal his servant.
And when they came unto Jesus,
they besought him instantly, saying
That he was worthy for whom he
should do this:
For ne loveth our nation, and he
hath built us a synagogue.
Then Jesus went with them. And
when he was now not far from the
house, the centurion sent friends to
him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble
not thyself: for ] am not worthy that
thou shouldest enter under my roof:
Wherefore neither thought | my
self worthy to come unto thee: but
say in word, and my servant shall be
healed.
For | also am a man set under au-
thority, having under me soldiers, and
say unto one, go, and he goeth; and
to another, come, and he cometh; and
to my servant, do this, and de doeth
| 1t.
When Jesus heard these things, he
marveled at him, and turned him
about and said unto the people that

The Dundee and Samoset companies
are encouraged over the reports which
have reached here from Ralston, 30
miles from Cushing. These companies
drilled two wells there in 1910 and
now own about $4,000 acres. Some
New York parties recently came into
the same locality and drilled a well
to a depth of 10 feet, and reached
what is thought to be an extension OF
the Bartlesville sand. The bringing

An Unusual Field.

1t is probable that some shallow
wells will be drilled near Homer to
test out the sands there that prom
ise a field of iubriCating oil. There
are few fields in the United States
that produce lubricating oils. Penn,
sylvania produces some oil of this
character and It has sold all the way
from $14 to as low as 81 per barrel.
The price at this time is said to be
81 a barrel. The we'll at Homer is
1S5 feet deep, il stands 40 feet in oil
and produces at the rate of about five
barrels in seven daSs. A deeper well
near the producer reached line al
500 feet and at 1900 the drill is still
in the lime. The Murphy well north
of Homer missed the lime, and the
Wildcat Jim south Of Homer encoun =
tered no lime Oh men are of the
opinion that the lime is found only
close to the mountains, and they say
that the territory there looks prom
Using for a field Oklahoma is in the
habit of doing the unusual thing
in oil production, and Homer may yet
become famous for having the great
est pool of lubricating oil in the
world.

The Prairie people have no holdings

any at this time, but they are keeping
in touch with the field and it is not
improbable that there will come a
time when they VII need southern
Oklahoma crude, and when they do,
they will have first-hand knowledge
of the fields that will enable them to
make judicious purchases.

covering a solid block of 5000 acres

feet and have a well that is making
both oil and gas II small quantities.
The drill Just touched the sand when
drilling ceased and the workmen
began to undarream to shut off the
water rofm a sand above the oil and
gas sand, An armed guard has been
placed about the well, and no one is
allowed to go near it. No visitor is
able to determine whether it is a well
or not 1t is said that the grade of
oil from the well is similar to that
found in the Arbrckle field in that
county, which is AS gravity.

wells, on account of busters near
them. About ninety strings of tools
