HENS MUST BE COMFORTABLE
Ample Shade Must Be Provided for
Fowls During Hot Weather AZ
Well as Proper Food.

Those who neglect to provide shade
for their hens during the trying sum-
mer months are likely to regret 1t.
The fowls must have comfort as well
as food.
If the yard has no shade it will
pay to provide it even though 1t takes
some time and labor.
Shade is regarded as one Of the i'm
portant items in the care Of the flock
for the summer. When the hot days
come on many poultry breeders trans
fer the hens and young chickens to
the orchard or to a woodlot. Where
shade is not available a temporary
structure six by ten feet square and
four feet high is erected; this is COW
cred with burlap or canvas. An ideal
place for young fowls is near the
edge of cornfield where they can
have shade, scratching places and can
find many insects.

Leaps to Death in Bridal Gown.

Leaps TO Oedtn III o''od' So""s
Denver-Mrs. Magdalena Miller, 80,
resident of the Old Ladies' Home,
believed she heard the voice of her
dead husband calling to her and
leaped from a second-story window to
the lawn beneath. Turning back the
years more than half a century and
living over again the happy scenes OF
her wedding day, Mrs. Miller dressed
herself in her bridal gown, arranged
her hair in the fashion of sixty years
ago, and responded to the call from
the beyond that seemed to come from
her husband. She wanted to go to
him in the gown he had loved SO. and
while he beckoned her she climbed
into the window of her room and
Jumped out. When she was found
shortly after. she insisted that her
wedding dress be left on; she was 60
ing to die, she said, and was going
to him" dressed as she had been
when they stood before the altar years
before. Four days later she passed
away, probably from shock, as no
bones were broken by her fall.

The Connecticut youth who bit into

true. From the time manufacturers
began making the present style of ball
they have warned people against its

he burns his fingers on hot plate.

declared that snake venom could not

TITLE TO
LOT WON
BY RIDDLE
Litigation Lasting Nearly Twenty Years
is Finally Terminated in U. S. Supreme
Court; Ownership Of Brick
Building Decided

Presenting one Of the most conspic-
uous examples of the laws delays"
in the legal annals OF Oklahoma, came
the final wind-up in the supreme
court at Washington yesterday of lit
iEation started nearly 20 years ago to
determine the lawful owner of lot .
in block 46, in Chickasha. Judge f.
Il. Riddle being the winner over F r..
and Fl. E. Johnson.
On the lot in question now stands
the two-story brick business building
which is occupied by Y. W. Darnell.
BY the terms of the courts decision
the defendants in the case are given
the rents on the property up to the
time of the adjudication of the case in
order to reimburse them for the i'm
provements.
The history of this famous piece Of
litigation dates back to the time the
Chickasha townsite was laid off, the
lots being purchased from the Chicka-
saw and Choctaw tribes of Indians.
Theodore Fitzpatrick, now deceased
bought the lot which was destined to
such an eventful career in the courts
and later Theodore Barnhart built a
house on it. Subsequently the latter
sold his house to ]. p. Ellis, who, like
Baruhart, paid rent to Fitzpatrick
Ellis and Fitzpatrick soon became in
volved in a dispute over the title to
the property, the case starting in To-
ca, court. Later Ellis sold his i'm
lrovements on the lot to Riddle and
the Johnsons acquired the claim of
Fitzpatrick. From this time on, the
case wended its way through the
mazes of the department of interior,
state and federal courts till the final
award came this week.
Stewart and Cruce and w. A. Led
better, Oklahoma City, have been
Judge Riddles counsellors. Ex-Sena.

with him early this year in the Unit

Also One Large, Luscious
Cherry Pie

According to the story given out a.

habited by people with aesthetic ap-
petites, even to the wandering ele.
ment who drift in between trains,
pause only long enough to replenish
their depleted wardrobes and treasur-
les and then drift out again.
In evidencing the truth of the above
assertion the police stated that after
hurglarious visitors had entered the
home of L. d. Major, night or SO ago,
and appropriated SIG in good and law
fur money, they cast about them un-
til they found a time piece which
would pass muster in any circle Of po-
lite society. None of your tin time
pieces would answer. Had an Ingersol
or Waterbury have been lying about
they would both have been safe The
tastes Of the intruders called FOR a
finer article, and when they espied
solid gold time teller, with gold
chain attached they forwith annexed
both articles.
The trousers in the pockets OF
which the $l6 had reposed, were
carefully folded, after the treasury had
been depleted, and laid with painstak-
ing exactness across the back Of a
chair in a room other than the ore
in which their owner had deposited
them when disrobing on the proceed
ing evening. Nothing had been left
in a scattered condition every article
which had been moved from one spot
to another had been set down with
the care of the truly aesthetic person.
After having acquired Mr.. Majors
cash, together with the watch and
chain. the intruders wended their
way to the pantry and appropriated a
large and lucious cherry pie This,
together with a glass of cream was re-
moved to the front gallery and de-
youred. With great evidence of fore
thought and scrupuIous care not to
anger the unintentional host of the
early morning hours, the profession

hour and missed his trousers from
