European war; the forthcoming elec-
ton, their favorite candidates and the
success of Tulsa's grand opera sea-
son had these subjects rudely shunted
into the discard of their attentions
by the announcement of Roscoe
Adams manager of the Tulsa Clear
ing House association, this week
when he reported that for the fifIh
fiscal week the clearings of the Tulsa
banks had exceeded the $4.000,0J0
mark
High and dry on the other side of

the close of business Thursday after
noon registered S4,154,920, which WAS
an, increase of 100 per cent over the
showing made by the banks at TIE
close of the corresponding week OF
last year.. when the figures given out
showed that $1,5Gl,SO2 had been
cleared.
Tho S2,0O0,O00 mark was reached
by the Tulsa Clearing House about
the first of last year and within six
weeks the figures had shown an IN
crease of 100000, which has cor
tinued to expand until the mark OF
5000, 600 is not without the vision

NEW WAY OF LOCATING GUNS
Seismograph Can Record Positios of
Hostile Artillery.

Science has discovered that gunfire
affects the earth's surface much like
an earthquake, so 1t is not surprising
TO learn that guns are being located
by the seismograph-the delicate little
instrument which records terrestrial
tremors, says the Popular Science
Monthly An Austrian authority on
the subject of earthquake disturb
anccs announces that the seismo graph
can record the position Of hostile
artillery as we'll as the caliber of the
guns.
In the fairly recent engagement be-
tween Italian and Austrian troops at
lsonzo. the tremors induced by the
heavy cannonadc were duly registered
by the apparatus, and the operator
was able to detect, by meansAof dia-
grams of -nrtificial movements of the
grounds. the difference between the
shocks produced by the fall of pro-
jeCtiles and those caused by the recoil
OF the guns Moreover. the form of
tracings revealed TO the practiced eye
the number as well as the caliber %
the latter.

WAR BRINGS FLEET OF MERCY.
Wounded Tommy Is Absorbed by
Marvellous Hospital Organization.

There is a great dock basin, on the
south coast that harbors a fleet of
ships almost unknown before the war.
They are white painted and round
their sides is a broad green stripe
broken at intervals with the Red
Cross ot mercy When war blazed
out on the continent we had but few
of these ships, and steps were taken
to supply what would obviously be-
como great need. SO this fleet of
mercy was formed, and now 1t carries
its sad freight over the seven seas
away from the roar of the guns ana
the stutter of the mitrailleuse to the
quiet of the long hospital wards In
England. They are part of a marvel
Gus organization.
Private Atkins climbs from the fir
ing step and hops over the parapet
and under the wire in front He hears
a sound for all the world like an un-
derground train coming through the
tunnel before 1t reaches a station, and
then there is n crash that defies des-
cription. Someone must have filled
the tunnel up and the train has
charged it, That is what Private At
kns thinks. In reality he has in a
twinkling of an eye changed his state.
He has become absorbed by the mary
elous organization.
Presently he is gatheNd in and tick
eted and taken to a place where they
add cryptic initials to the red ticket
tied to the second button of his tunic.
It now reads &c. S. Head, S. thigh
and |. arm" In the words of the
surgeon. Atkins has been collecting
things. From now on Atkins loses all
power of volition. He is handled by
many people like a very delicate and
fragile piece OF merchandise. He is
loaded on to motor ambulances and
taken off again, and put on to trains
that hurry him to the sea as II he
were perishable goods-which, after
all, he is. Then he is carried on board
hospital ship, and for twelve hours
at least he has comparative peace.
From France to England is a matter
of about twelve hours at the most To
some II is twelve hours of hell. but

UNDERWOOD PLANS
BETTER SCHOOLS

At the annual meeting the patrons of
the Underwood school district last Sat
urday, by unanimous vote the school
board was instructed to purchase five
acre tract suitable as campus for pro-
posed buildings.
The school district, located in the
rich orchard section, plans to erect a
set of buildings, including high school
structure with departments for manual
training and domestic science. A
model teachers home, community play
grounds and practical course in agri-
culture are also included in the plans.
This is a rich school district and, with
the new Parent-Teacher Association
recently orgsnized with much enthusi-
asm, ii is expected to soon develop d
very high grade school system. The
district now owns good two room
school house located on a one acre tract
aud places its present assets at about
$4,000.
W. b. Rine was elected director,
without opposition, to fiji the place on
the board just vacated by II. c. Low
den. who, after six years service, has
retired to take the principalship of the
school. Alfred r. Hedrick has been
principal of the school for the past four
years. He is now teaching in the Latin
department of the Washington high
school, Portland, and will spend his va
cations at his orchard home here.

'PAULHAMUS PROPOS-
ES FOOL KILLER"

cit is not my desire TO unduly criti-
else any person connected with the
fruit. business, but ! sometimes believe
that we should have Fool Killer
capable of discerning the difference
between honesty of purpose and selfish
DESIRE"
Such is a paragraph of letter re-
ceived by local fruit growers from w.
h. Paulhamus. chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the Growers Council,
as organized last year at Tacoma,
WASH, who urges all orcharidsts to
conform to the principles embodied in
recent suggestions made at Spokane by
the Office of Markets of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
| Mr.. Paulhamus says that his atten-
tion has been called to complaints made
by three we'll known buyers and dis
tributors of North Yakima, WASH, who
are attacking the government plan of
distribution on the ground that the
proposed Office of Markets plans dolnot
permit of cash buyer getting.what
fruit he desires by paying cashsfor it.
"In my judgment. says Mr.. Paul.
hamus::in his letter. "this is veiled
! attack. Every grower in the state of
Washington knows that any man, who
has the money. can buy anything that
we have for sale il the price is right.
and am sure that any plan the gov
ernment presents will not preclude the
selling of fruit to any person that de-
sires to buy. and has the money to buy
with.
"As near as | car. digest, the gov
eminent plan is very similar to that
outlined by the Growers Council, with
such improvements as our years ex-
perience taught US was necessary.
believe that every fruit grower of the
northwest should be extremely thank
ful to the Department of Markets for
its generous help to bring about a
more orderly control of the fruit indus
try.
"The fruit industry is second only
to the lumber industry in the north
west, and if it is not put on stable
basis disastrous results will follow, not
only tossthe growers themselves. but to
the entire community. If this state
ment is true, can we afford to give any
consideration to the three companies in
question at the present time? What
are they doing. or what have they been
doing, except to purchase fruit as
cheaply as they could purchase it and
sell 1t for as much as possible? Have
all of them or any of them exerted any
influence in behalf of the grower, ex-
cept for their personal gain?"
Mr.. Paulhamus advises growers Ia
select their boards of directors not Sc
much because of popularity OF candi.
dates and their ability as mixers. but
to look to their business ability.
~ trust" he says in conclusion.
that every delegate attending the
Growers Council meeting at Tacoma
will get back of the government plan
and help make it 60"
