That this is the age of speed there
is no doubt, agrees Henry j. Allen,
but it is too much to believe that a
Wichita man can order case of beer
from Kansas City at 3:15 in the af-
ternoon and have it delivered at his
residence at 1927. 1t is difficult to
persuade suspicious people that there
is not some jugglery in that sort OF
delivery.

According to a news item, last week
a land company of Kansas topped the
market with five car loads of hogs
that averaged 500 pounds each, that
brought cents per pound, and not
a pound OF corn had been fed to any
of the porkers. Their feed consisted
entirely of maize and alfalfa hay and
pure Kansas water. While this part
of Oklahoma is not Dragging any, we
have shipped many hogs that were
just as good as these that only got
the maize and water.-Hooker Ad-

A raid was made last night upon
gambling den and five out of the
six therein were captured and
brought before Judge McElroy this
morning. They were caught with
the goods and could not do other
wise than plead guilty to the charges
preferred, and the judge put their
fines at $50 and costs, which amount
ed to $50 each. Four of them paid
their fines and were released, while
the fifth is being allowed an oppor-
tunity to raise the amount sufficient
to free himself. The sixth made a
desperate attempt to get away and
the officers were unable to round him
up for the trial, but claim he will be
caught in due time. Tucumcari is
now about free from gambling dens
and the fellows who take chances on
getting pinched are very few. This

with any of the western cities and
the officers are to be commended up

North and South Highway Will Be Link

The National Highway association
has approved the route Of the highway
from Nogales, Ariz.. on the Mexican
border, to the Canadian line near Mar

way in Idaho link of the border-to-
border road. This route is to be known
as The Sunshine Way and has been
so designated.

In adopting the Sunshine Highway
as part of the national system, the
National Highways association will
urge its construction by the federal
government in sections where sparse
settlement would deny local interests
meeting the expense. Toward this end
the National Highways association IS
now urging that this highway be given
precedence in the matter of disburse-

ated by the last congress for good
roads construction in association with

states can be constructed. although
these other states are nov busy in ell
plans relating to the work.
The development again brings to for
chile attention the importance of the
north and south highway. independent
of its direct influence in opening state
resources. 1t is now noted that the
highway will be a link in the national
system for international travel between
Mexico and Canada, while it also be-
comes an important unit in the east
ern and western national highway
routes. Estimate is made that during
the summer just passed no less than
500 tourist cars from the east were
routed through Oregon after reaching
southern Idaho due to the fact that no
route was open to this section of the
state. After traversing great stretches
of the plains section of the west, the
traveller would eagerly welcome the
change through the Idaho mountains to
the north. but the absence of an at
tractiVe highway forbids. The north
and south road now being constructed
will remove this barrier and condi-
lions would indicate that the road is
destined to accommodate when COM
pleted thousands of tourists every year.

which he won the Legion of Honor, is

sevepty-six years, this time as a sap

before the war he was mayor of his
native town of Auxerre In 1870 Cor.
poral Sarrugue had been called to the
colors as civil engineer and given
the rank Of captain. He was twice
mentioned in dispatches. After the
war he occupied himself with munic.
lpal affairs in his native town, and
Auxerre owes much to him for his ex.
cellent administration. When the pres.
emit war broke out, he offered his
services, passed the examination, and
after three months of training was
sent to the front.
