Jones sometimes wakes up feeling cross
y and in consequence the family know it
without his telling them in so many words.
Mrs. Jones attributes it to bilousness and
if it doesn't off during the day she
gives him dose of liver medicine at night.
The next morning he feels better and she
gives him coffee for breakfast,-and the next
morning-and the morning. And in
few days Jones has another spell.
Dear Mrs. Jones means all right, hut she
doesn't seem to realize that if she didn't give
Jones his morning coffee she wouldn't have
to give him the liver medicine and Jones
would feel all right without both.
Housewives everywhere have found out
that Instant Postum takes the place of break
fast coffee perfectly. And that is only one of
the reasons why Instant Postum has wholly
suPPlanted the of coffee on thousands

Work on the new hotel will com

J. A. Sharp, who is going to build it,
said over the long distance phone from
Tulsa yesterday that he was ready to

pleased at the quick action and heart

idea that not a day should be lost.
The hotel committee is so enthused
over the prospect that it has issued a
call to all subscribers to get their
money to the bank at once, 50 that Mr..
Sharp may come next week and set
the ball rolling. The letter was mailed
yesterday and today thousands more

|F YOU WANT To
JOIN THE ARMY
SEND IN NAME
CAPTAIN HUTCHINSON WANTS A
LIST OF PROSPECTIVE RE-
CRUiTS so HE CAN GET THEM
IN CASE OF HURRY CALL.

Captain Hutchinson stated this
morning that he had opened rolls for
registering names of all who desired
to join a new regiment, in case one is
authorized, and would keep a list of
all who wished in case the organiza-
ton was called for in order to be
able to put himself in communication
with them Immediately upon the call
for volunteers.
Captain Hutchinson thinks it prac-
tically certain that one, and perhaps
two other regiments will be called
for before the Mexican trouble is fin
ally settled and he is very anxious to
enroll as many who would be willing
to go as possible in order that there
would be no delay when the call came.
Oklahoma is behind most of the
other states in the matter of mobiliza-
tion, owing to the fact that Oklahoma
Cityans thought to get the concentra-
ton camp located in Oklahoma City,
but II seems tnat the war department
had other plans, and the camp will be
pitched at Chandler. Captain Hutch
inson states that he has no idea where
the Oklahoma City people, who wanted
the camp located there, got their au-
thorty for dreaming that they could
secure it, when the state already has
the establishment at Chandler, where
it has been for several years. All this
necessitated a delay which puts Okla
homa behind other states in the mat
ter of mobilization.
If call is issued for more troops,
a full company could be recruited in
Ardmore and Carter county in "a
hours, according to figures based upon
expressions of many who are anxious
to join the army All who desire
should call on Captain Hutchinson and
have their names enrolled at once.

CANDIDATES
To ASSEMBLE
At GRAHAM
TOMORROW NIGHT THE CITIZENS
OF THAT QUIET HAMLET WILL
HEAR THE CLARION CALL FOR
PARTY PREFERENCE.

Tomorrow night the citizens of the
quiet little village of Graham In the
northwest part of the county will have
and opportunity of sizing up the many
candidates who are in the field for
county office, and determine whether
in their opinion they are fitted for the
post which they seek.
All the locals are preparing their
speeches today and will be there in
full force when the meeting is called
to order. Some of them will leave
early in order to be on hand for a
good rest before the activities really
begin.
Graham is noted for it's hospitality,
and the visiting spellbinders will no
doubt receive warm welcome and
lot of fried chicken On the side. AS
the day for filing draws near, it is
evident that the list recently pub
lished will not be materially increased.
About all the candidates thus far an
nounced have filed with a few pos
sible exceptions, and it begins to
look now as if the people will begin
to make their choice of those already
in the field.

Fort Smith, Ark, June 22.-The
historical precedent of Cincinnatus
and Israel Putnam was followed yes
terday by Hiram Martin, 20 years
old, who left his plow in its furrow
on the home farm near Bloomer when
a passing rural postman shouted that
troops were needed for the border,
and walking twenty miles to the city,
offered himself for enlistment in
Company d. Arkansas National
Guard. The journey was made in
four hours and ten minutes.
To Martins dismay ne found him
self five pounds underweight in his
examination, due to the tramp, but a

Survivors Still Absent.

San Antonio, Tex, June
23.-Whether the little force
of the Tenth Cavalry, engaged
in the Carrizal fight, fought
their way out successfully
through the MeXicans who sur
rounded them, is still unknown
today. No news has been re-
ceived from Pershing since last
nights report, which was based
on stragglers who escaped be-
fore the Carrizal battle ended.
General Funston is expecting a
complete report momentarily.
Army officers here feared
that the casualties to Captain
Boyd's command at Carrizal
were terrilically heavy, which
is indicated by the fact that if
twelve were killed, the wound
ed would number forty, ac-
cording to proportions, which
meant practically the whole
troop or fifty per cent of the
command.

PERATE CHANCE NEAR DOUGH-
ERTY YESTERDAY.

County Attorney John II. Venable
county, and c. Fl. Bailey, special of
ficer of the Cattle Raisers' association
of Fort Worth, were in the city today.
They came here in the interest of the
Cattle Raisers' association for the
reason that some hides had been sto-
len from Catterall & company of
Chickasha and had been traced to
Lone Grove, where they were shipped
to Fort Smith to a wholesaler there
The local authorities were notified
and they were working in conjunction
with the authorities of Grady county
to locate the shipper, who sent the
hides under the name of ID. C.. Mullen
house.
The officers went to Fort Smith and
found that the shipper had ordered
remittance made to Lawton, making
check payable to A. ~ Meeks. The
officers wrote decoy letter and short
ly after Officer Bailey went to Lawton
and placed Meeks under arrest. Meeks
and a brother were taken into custody
and the officers started for Ardmore
yesterday to take them to Lone Grove
for Identification. When just this side
of Dougherty yesterday, A. N. Meeks,
who was sitting nearest the car win
dow, and while the train was making
at least forty miles an hour, suddenly
dived through the window and landed
on the right of way before the startled
officers realized what had happened.
Officer Bailey emptied the contents
of big automatic pistol at the flying
Meeks as he was running rapidly in
the genearl direction of Oklahoma
City. The conductor of the train and
other employees were not in the car
when the escape was effected, and the
train had made the next switch before
it was brought to stop.
In the meantime, Meeks is at large.
The officials at Lone Grove failed to
identify George Meeks, alleged bro

There is much agitation about the
salary system versus fees. The next legis-
lature will deal with this subject and will
find in it many intricacies. After all the
real question is whether or not officials are
overpaid. II they are overpaid, it matters
not whether the pay is by salary or by fee,
the pay should be reduced. After all what
is desired is that officials should be paid just
enough to influence efficient men to stand
for the Offices. The same RUE applies in
in public affairs that applies in private bust
mes that capable men demand good pay.
Regulate the pay so that we can have eff
cient men in office and it will not matter
whether their pay is by fee or by salary
( The difference is in name only. There seems
to have been no need to stir up the question
but as it is now before us let us settle it IL
reasonable way. The officials probably
prefer salary basis if it is fair, hence there
should be no ground for dissention on tn
subject.

But can the supporters OF Mr.. Parker

Arv voter with common sense must know
that it is now too late for Mir. Parker to
accomplish the defeat Of single boss. They
have already been selected and, admitting
the possibility Of Mr. Parker's election, how
can ne change the officials whom the people
have nominated by eighty per cent of the
entire vote of the State? No one knows
better than Mr.. Parker that the patronage
Of the governor amounts to nothing and
that if he is elected he will be helpless to
change or remedy these conditions. If the

change in officials can Mr.. Parker make if
elected governor, he will bring the issue
home and will fully appreciate the ciap-trap

could not change the personnel Of any I'M

the claim that Mr. PaYEer's intention is t.

In the first place We are not willing t

if it is under ring rule, it IS by the will o

If the voters Ct this State want reform
