RELAY NEXT week
T.. A. KELLER AND BUD JOHNSON
PROBABLY WILL ENTER
BIG RUN.

Indications are hat some time
next week the messages which are to
be carried in automobiles from Win
nipeg, Man, Can, to the Gulf of
Mexico will be taken through Mad
ison. The messages are to be taken
by a relay of messengers and auto
mobiles over the Meridian road,
which passes through here, and it is
believed by the promoters of the
plan hat the feat will have the effect
of advertising the national highway
throughout the country.
The entire route is divided up into
sections, some twenty-five or thirty
miles in length, and as it Is the in
tention to cover the entire distance i'm
about sixty hours, il will be necessary
for the various messengers TO main
tain a speed of about 35 miles an
hour. night and day, regardless of
weather conditions.
The Madison section will be from
Arlington TO this city. a distance of
t~wenty-six miles. A committee of
the Commercial club, appointed to
arrange for conveying the messages,
which will be from the lieutenant
governor of Manitoba. and the mayor
of Winnipeg, to the governor of Tex
as and the mayor of Dallas, over this
section. has practically decided to en-
trust the work to Il. A. Keller and
Bud Johnson. Each will take a fast
car to Arlington. Two cars go over
each section as a precaution against
delay in case of accident to one of
the machines. Messengers from Sa-
lem will be on hand here to take the
message on the next lap of the jour
ney.

had the contract for the work, met
the commissioners at their regular

SOFT WINTER?
Indians Read Sigps of Mild Winter
Ahead.

Duluth, Mimi, Oct. 31.-Northern
Indians, schooled in woodcraft,
through the signs of stream and for
est. see a kindly, softened winter, and
their labors thus are lessened. They
will not go to any great shakes to
have their squaws build warm wig
vans, they say.
The Indians base their belief on
the light corn crop and the laziness
of the squirrels at this time, when
they should be filling their tree
caches. In addition the muskrats
are dilatory in building their habita-
tons, fur bearing animals have thin
coats now when they should be fill
ing out In their thickest overcoats
and bark on trees is loose.

Columbia, Missouri, has preserved

SAVE COLUMBIA'S TREES

There's many a tree in Columbia
that will die before the end of this
summer for lack of friend. Wanton
destruction of trees on private prop
erty can not be tolerated by property
owners. But with the same thought
fulness for care of our homes every
citizen should give personal attention
to the condition of his trees.
Gnarled branches or broken limbs
are often caused by windblown ma
terial allowed to remain where it falls
in the tree top. Pedestrians below as
well as the health of the tree demand
the removal of loose timber.
Rotted wood is often the resort OF
hords of worms and insects that eat
the life out of the tree. By cutting
this part away or by replacing with
concrete or other preventative the
tree may be saved.
Small creeks or streams running
through the town wash away the soil
and feeding ground of the roots. Here
again a friend may save the trees

SIX-DAY CAMPAIGN IN JOHNSON
Prof. s. T. Simpson Returns From
Demonstration Visits 3G Farms.

Prof S. T. Simpson of the depart
ment of animal husbandry at the Col
lege of Agriculture returned yesterday
from Johnson County, where he held
a 6-day campaign in the interest of
better live stock. He visited thirty
six farms and gave eighteen demon
strations in live stock feeding and Sc
lection. The attendance at these eigh-
teen meetings varied from 25 to 100
Professor Simpson wound up his
campaign by organizing a county live
stock breeders association at War
rensburg last Saturday He expects
to put on some demonstrations in
breeding and feeding through the
members of this association within the
next year.
County Agent F. A Gougher worked
in cooperation with Professor Simp-
son in the demonstrations and lee
lures before the farmers of the
county.
Much enthusiasm is being aroused
for better live stock by the papers of
Johnson County. On August the
Holden Progress devoted its whole
front page to campaign for better
live stock and ran other articles in the
same issue on that subject. The War
rensburg Star-Journal on August
inserted an extra page devoted to live
stock
Professor Simpson left today for
Knox City to Judge live stock at the

ARABIA

The dream of a united and indepen-
dent Arabia may soon become a real
ity. The Arabs in revolt have been
uniformly successful against the
Turks and are gradually driving them
out of the Arabian peninsula.
Some of the Arabian tribes have
never come under the domination OF
the Sublime Porte but have maintain
ed their independence in the Oases of
their beloved country. Those around
the border of the peninsula have been
forced to acknowledge the suzerainty
of Turkey in political as well as
church affairs. The whole Mohamme-
dan world has accepted the Dictator
ship of the Turk in the latter, altho
now, with Mecca in the hands of the
rebellious Arabs, it is probable that
Arabia will again resume the leader
ship Of Mohammedanism as in the
days of the Prophet, who was a ma
tive Arab.
England and the Allies will be glad
to encourage Arabia and so strike a
blow at the enemy of Germany-Tur-
key. 1t is this friendship of the Turk
for the German that has brought the
present revolution to a head.

reform and abolition of white slavery.
In 1913 he was instrumental in hav-

shops in Joliet, Ill. For three years
he was the companion of Jack Lon

world see its evils and to correct
them," said Newman. 81 have fought
the good fight and am near the end
of my race. l can't win against the

Big Ben's life is going out very rap
idly. 1t is believed he can survive on

mantle character stories in American
