This Is the second installment Of
my lesson on the single under-arm
stroke movement. Today I wish to
teach you the arm movement OF this
stroke.
Assume the same position as in
the leg movement Now bring the
right arm up under your aide with
the palm OF the hand In the same
position az the start OF the breast
stroke After you have done this
bring the left hand alongside thu
right and place It In line with the
left hand.
Keep your elbows close 10 the
body. Your hands are now In the
same position you tnke at the start
OF the breast stroke. except that
you are lying on your right side,
Forget the legs for a few minutes.
The first movement: shoot out
the right hand. straight out. as far
ahead as you can keep II in direct
line with the head. Now move the
| left hand, using the palm OF the
hand az scoop down along the
eide OF the body until it rests on
the thigh OF the left leg Keep the
hand close 70 the body while eXecut-
Ing this movement.
Now bring them both together.
Do the movement simultaneously,
the way have just shown you.
Remember the left hand is 10 pull
you forward, so be sure the palm
presses with full force against the
water. Now the right hand must be
pressed downward until II reaches
the hip. Just enough TO aid your for
ward movement. with the combined
movements OF the arms moving in
perfect accord, You will he sCrpris-
ed what speed you can attain.
Now combine tho movements Of
the legs and arms. When the hands
meet and start the legs arc brought
I'D AZ the same tine and with the
4
shooting out OF tho arms and their
downward movement simultaneous
iy kick out so that when the left
arm reaches the thighs the leg
movement will have been completed
and as the arms return the feet are
snapped together and prepared for
the repeat movement.
One other thing &C. remember -
this When the left arm is coming
down. the legs should be kicking
out
When you have become thorough
ly accustomed 10 his movement on
ter the water. Instead Of keeping
your head out CT The water let II
rest we'll in the water. Assume the
same position you would II lying on

LANDLORD AND
TENANT PARTNERS

The novel idea of q landlord
and a tenant going into partnership
has been tried and proven success
here. The landlord is o. r. Nichol-
son, vice president of the First Ma
tional Bank and the tenant is w. H.
.Steinmeyer. who rents the Nicholson
place about three miles from ARM
strong. A five year lease has been
arranged between the landlord and
the tenant and the whole thing work
ed out on a partnership basis. Farm
Agent Fash is authority for the
statement that in February of this
year they bought seventy-six head
of shoats and after feeding them
for three months on peanuts, sold
out at net profit of six hundred
dollars.
Experiments in other ways lead
hog men to believe that peanuts are
the quickest money makers for hog
fattening that are known and the
farm agent is encouraging a greater
increase of this sort of CROP.

Estes come in just then, but Murphy
did not see him.
"Oh, I'm awful tough" said Muir
ply, and he reached for his gun, but
instead of grasping the handle of the
six shooter he felt his wrist go into
the grip of something that was like
a wise. He turned and faced the Of
ficer, who already had Murphy's re-
lvolver in his other hand.
Murphy had told the truth about
being tough. for he fought the po-
lioeman all over the store. Estes
dropped the revolver and both men
tried to pick it up. Murphy nearly
had his hand on it when Estes gave
him a Quick jerk and sprawled him
on the floor. Then the policeman
jumped astride of him and held him
while Hadley called the automobile
patrol. Three men came with it,
but they had some difficulty in taxi
ing Murphy to Jail. The drug store
was wreck.

UGH MAN FROM TOUGH
COUNTRY GOT TOUGH DEAL
Winked Left Eye When Ordered
and Was Finally Taken
in Tow.

James Murphy asked for a drink
at soda fountain in Roscoe Brad
ley's drug store in Oklahoma City
and winked his left eye when he gave
the order. That was the way he
had been accustomed to doing in Oil
tton, where he came from. Hadley
drew the drink for him, but left out
the ingredients specified in the wink.
Murphy took a swallow and then
began to swear. 1t was just soda
nothing else.
A woman was using Hadley's
phone and the druggist asked Mur-
ply to cease swearing in her pres
ence.
Murphy set the glass down and
went out, but next day he returned
when Hadley was alone in his drug
store.
I'm mean, tough man." MuI-
phy said. leaning across the counter
and plucking at Hadley's sleeve.
'I'm so bad that I'm almost afraid
to be alone with myself. I come

some age on me, too"

ELKs no GIVE HUMBUG CIRCUS

There are going to be great times
in Elkdom next month. The local
order of Best People on Earth"
are going to put on a circus, and you
take it from US, it is going to be
some circus, too. 1t will be the only
real humbug circus to visit Durant
this year. The actors, the animals,
the peddlers and all participants are
going to be people you are acquaint-
ed with, people you know and are
intimately acquainted with. The date
for the big show will be June 81,
and, already some of the Elks are
beginning to "cut up funny capers"
in the hope that they will be select
ed as one of the actors, or perchance
be one of the animals in the show.
Let there be no misunderstanding
about what the Original Humbug
Circus is"
It is not the regular Legitimate
circus with which you are so fam
liar, but a burlesque or "take-off''
on the real thing, in which every ac-
tor, animal, clown and freak is a

OF course when we consider raw products we
must carry the subject further on into the
matter Of the prices we get and the prices
we must pay for finished products. We shall
conhne our consideration, too, to those products
which have their origin on tie farm either in
the raw state or finished and manufactured
into edible or wearable articles.
Let US take wheat. for example. we all
know that the war has put the price OF wheat
way up. Very well-this means that the
whole country: city, town and rural population
as we'll are paying more for their dour--there-
fore the wheat raiser should theoretically be
getting rich on a product which IL costs him
no more to raise than formerly and for which
he gets more money
But wait a minute-there are other things
20 consider In this matter OF growing rich or
OF the war. Cotton and wool and meats and
farm machinery and sugar have gone up too.
This means that while the wheat raiser is
getting more for his product, he is also paying
some other agrieulturist more for his product.
This cuts down somewhat on the profits the
war Is bringing 20 the farmer. Then Il would
seem that the best way 70 keep ahead OF the
game Is for the farmer TO pay the farmer who
raises his necessities the increased prices that
the war has brought about and when buying
his luKuries those things that are not bare
necessities OF life to pick and choose from
