 WHERE VALUABlES WERE
Oversight of Burglars Who Ransacked
 Home of Mrs. C. H. Gray

The burglar who opened every locked door but one in the home of Mrs. C. H. Gray on South Seventh street, over looked the one behind which was every thing of value in the house. Bureau drawers were rifled, beds torn apart, carpets and rugs taken from the floors, but not q thing was missing. The theory is that the burglar or burglars heard the approach of an automobile and escaped.
 Mrs. Gray was in town when the house was nearly burglarized Her brother-in-law F. c. Norris, former county supervisor, on his approach to the Gray place had trouble with his automobile. He managed to reach the house but the puffing of his engine evil dently scared the thief He found the back screen door cut open. A hatchet had been taken from the back porch and the doors, with the one exception. chopped down. The deputies of the sheriffs office are on the trail of the offender
 The sheriff's office also received notice that the storehOuse of Munger Bros, on South Central avenue had been entered. Things were scattered Tn every direction but no damage was done and nothing was missed. It is believed boys intent only on mischief entered the building.

PROPOSED ID KEEP
 COTTON SEED PURE
Representatives Of Government Here
 in Seed Selection

Messrs Schofiel. Carney and Cook of Washington, of the bureau of plant breeding of the department of agriculture, and Mr. Hudson for some years in charge of the gov ernment's experiments in Egyptian cotton growing at Sacaton. are all in the valley promoting the work of se- lection of seed for, as they say, the ultimate success of the industry de- bends upon the maintenance of the purity of the seed.
 The government is paying more attention to this valley in this re- spect than to any other section of the country, for it is their purpose when the organization is complete to make it the model for similar CO., operative work in other parts of the country While the work here re lates chiefly to the cotton industry these gentlemen are no less inter- ested in the cooperation of growers in all agricultural lines. the general extension of cooperative societies.
 With pure seed the cotton industry has already been successfully estab- hshed here: it only remains to see that it shall be kept pure. They be- lieve that that can be more easily done in this region than in any other.

With the time of the state fair approaching as well as with a circus billed to appear here shortly, the pO- lice are exercising extraordinary vigilance in the matter of suspicious characters arriving in town.

Thre of this class were escorted to the limits of the city yes terday and respectfully but firmly urged to wend their way
 In this connection there have been several petty house robberies re gently. In most instances the in truder found the house wide open. the doors unlocked and the house. wife probably somewhere in the neighborhood. Chief BrisbOis has is sued a warning against leaving houses with the doors unlocked windows raised or otherwise in such shape that entrance can be easily eff fected. If the residents will CO., operate with the police to the extent of locking up their houses the num- Der of robberies will probably be kept down to a minimum.
