THE QUAIL SEASON
PROMISES BIG BAG
There Is Probability That LceisIa-
turc May Extend
Season.


BARTLESVILLE. okla. Sept go
Quail are so plentiful in this section
Bob Whites" are becoming tame and
are drifting into the city The other
day three quail were captured In the
downtown section Of the city and II is
not an uncommon sight to see quail
eating with chickens I'm various poul-
try yards over the city.
The Matching season this year was
tho best IN years. Thousands OF young
quail were hatched. as can be shown
i'm a trip over the prairies or down
along the creek or river bottoms
Local hunters are guarding quail to
prevent their being killed before tho
opening Of tho hunting season
II is probable the representative
from this county 10 the next legislu-
trrc will be urged TO present bin
closing the season on quail for a
period Of three or five years II IS
pointed out that no other bird is n
- rcatcr friend to farmers in destroy
inC insects that damage crops. TX
ports declare that It is a common
thing for a single quail to eat one
hundred insects I'm day. And there
never was n time In the history q
oklahoma when there we're a greater
number Of bugs and insects that fed
upon crops than this year. II is the
opinion Of many farmers and hunters
that If the quail season was closed for
n period of five ycprs. quail would
multiply so rapidly the would practi-
cally wipe ont the bug and insect pest
in a few years

New Hard Surfaced Road
Is Tulsa's First Step in
Future Activities.

TUE average business man has
L heard the talk about good
roads" for so long that to his ears
now it is like so much ''tlnkling brass"
lie has read in the neswpaper about
the work being done to improve the
roads, but when he gets chance to
get out in the country he can see
very little Improvement. This does
not apply 50 much to Tulsa county,
because In this county much good
work has been done with the mediocre
material available and rassable dirt
roads have been the result. but in the
ma ority OF counties in the state Of
Oklahoma good roads has been a po-
ltical bellwether to lead the way for
votes. with little action following.
The main fault has been the lack
Of system on which t. base the
work. A few miles Of some road
leading out of this town and into that
town have been improved, a few more
miles over in this end of the county
have been worked and over that way
short stretch has been made pass
able. The total result being that ont
might travel for g. few minutes over
O good road only to be dumped into
the mud holes and ruts of an almos,
tmpassable road the next few minutes.
Necessarily, the benefits of coed
roads have been few and the million
dollars spent each year in improving
dirt roads in Oklahoma has been al
most a total waste. a few stretches
here and there, but leading nowhere.
do not aid the great body Of farmers
In getting their produce to market.
They do not aid the merchants in the
towns and cities In selling tpeir goods
and only cause the driver Of the au
tomobile to realize how bad the TN
worked places are by contrast.
Old Order Doomed
But now and in the future it is be-
heved that this old order will change.
BY the passage of the federal good
roads law, system becomes prime
factor and an essential requirement
before any Of the millions apprO.
priated by the government can be
used.
Under the terms Of the federal road
law no government money can be ex-
pended on building hard surfac ell
roads unless tie roads begin some
whore and end somewhere" or III
other words. unless they connect ~
important towns and localities. In
other words one county scat cannot
get some Of the money 70 build a road
from that town out IN the country a
few miles and then leave It.
good example of tnic OLD kind of
business Is found on the dirt road
between Tulsa and Sapulpa. T.,st
Tulsa county would sTcn6 several
thousands Of dollars improving the
Tulsa county end Of tho road, but T os-
sihly Creek county was uot able 20

suit being that leaving Tulsa one hao

Traffic was blocked at Second and
Main last night when the II. & b.

dreds OF people interested in the blsc-
ball returns.
George =. Harmon had received a
permit from the city to show this ap-
paratus but the city fathers evidently
reck oned wrongly as to the attrac-
tiveness of tho device, otherwise thoy

to set upon the streets on busy

Harmon was asked to vacate and
then showed on Second where he

BY a Strategic Move the
Forces of Won Falken-
hayn Are Winner.
DIVIDES HIS FORCE
BUT UNITES THEM
There Is Little Change IL
the Somme Front, Says
Latest Report.

TROOPS of the central powers
l. under the command OF General
Won Falkenhayn, former chief of the
German general staff, have gained a
decisive victory over the Rumanian
invaders OF central Transylvana. The
Rumanians were crushed between two
forces in a battle which ragged for
three days. After suffering heavy
losses the invaders were reported flee
ing in disorder into the mountains.
The defeat of the Rumanians was
brought about by strategic move
virtually impossible on the western
battle front. General Won Falken-
hayn divided his force of Germans and
Austro- Hun garians. While one body
engaged the invaders around Herman
stadt the others encircled the Ru-
manians and seized Rothenthurg pass
in the mountains 10 miles southeast
of Hermanstadt and one of the first
points gained by the Rumanians in
their advance.
Germans Succeed.
Both forces then pressed in upon the
Rumanians composed of sections OF
the first Rumanian army. Bavarian
troops holding Rothenthurg checked an
advance by the second Rumanian army
which attempted to come to the aid
of It's surrounded compatriots.
Berlin reports that large amount Of
booty was taken as well as prisoners.
In eastern Pennsylvania the Ru
manians also suffered a repulse. Their
attack In the region of SZekely Udvar-
hily was checked and the German at
tack in the same section resulted in
the capture of six hundred prisoners.
Fighting continues on the Somme
front but with little change in the
positions of the combatants. The Ger
mans continue their counter-attacks
around Thiepval. Further south the
French advanced north of Rancourt,
driving their wedge in the German
lines there. Berlin reports the re-
pulse of British attacks on this front.
Costs Many Men.
During September the British in
their advance on the Somme front
lost almost 10000 officers and men.
This is at the rate of $500 a day, but
falls below the daily human cost for
August. Since the offensive began
figures published in London show that
the British have lost approximately
three hundred thousand men in their
efforts to break the German defenses.
Nonimportant changes in Mace
donia. in Dobrudja, on the Austro-
Italian front or on the eastern front
are announced.
No Sub Policy.
The Overseas News agency an
nounces that it is stated on competent
authority" that Germany has reached
no new decision concerning submarine
warfare. The statement minimizes the
articles appearing in German newspa-
pars regarding American aviators
serving with the entente allies and
declares that the German government
does not consider such acts as
breaches of neutrality
