Socialist Lecture
Draws Packed House

Kate Richards O'Hare, a we'll
known socialist lecturer, was here
last Monday giving two lectures
during her stay, one in the after
noon and one in the evening.
The lecture in the afternoon
was attended by a rather small
audience, but in the evening the
hall was packed to the limit.
Mrs. O'Hare is a very influential
and eloquent speaker. Her speech
1ealt mainly in telling of the de-
'orable conditions existing in the
big eastern cities, besides many
other things, and brought out
some very interesting points, and
of course in order to overcome
these conditions, tried to show
that the socialist party would rem
edy these things.

Col. Hull Passes
Suddenly Away

The residents of Circle were
very much shocked last Wednes-
day when news was received here
telling of the sudden death of Col.
b. j. Hull, the G. N. right-of-way
man.
Mr.. Hull was riding on a pas
senger train between Fargo and
Minneapolis on his way to the
cities last Monday, when he was
suddenly taken ill with an attack
OF indigestion which resulted in
an tack of heart failure, passing
away Immediately.
Mr.. Hull was we'll known here,
having visited our town a number
Of times, and even expected to
make Circle his headquarters in
the near future.

Circle Trims
Horse Greek Team

There was sure some live ball
game at Circle last Sunday after
noon. when the Horse Creek nine
came down and played the locals
a game on the local diamond.
Although quite few of Circles
regular players were unable to be
present last Sunday the locals put
in a few substitutes and trimmed
up the visitors to the tune of 9 to
7. There are some corking good
ball players in that Horse Creek
bunch, and there's nothing slow
about them, especially their pitch
er and catcher, Messrs. Coberly
and Goodale. Coberly, the pitcher,
pitched a good game, they say,
(the writer wasn't present to see
it, and kept some of our heavy
sluggers actually guessing.

The grading machine returned
to Enid Saturday afternoon and
resumed work on the station
grounds, but were compelled to
abandon it again on Tuesday on
account of rain. The steam shov-
els to the west are doing good
work but not much progress is
being made with the grade across
the lake. The dragline has been
shut down and the camp closed.
The steam shovel that has been
working at Lambert will be
moved to the north side of the
lake about a mile and a half west
of Lambert from which point the
balance of the fill across the lake
will be made.

Human Geyser
Of Verbosity
From the Philadelphia Record.

from the Pnlladelpnia RECORD.
When Congressman Gardner says
that the United States has talked
SO much and done SO little he must
be making sly dig at his old
friend, the Colonel. 1t is safe
guess that Mr.. Roosevelt talks at
least ten times asj much as any
other man in the country. Where
the President of the United States,
its official representative, says one
word the Rough Rider. pours forth
at least twenty in speeches, inter-
views, magazine articles, books and
other form of communication open
to him. Never was there such a
human geyser of verbosity.
Woodrow Wilson has accom-
plished more in the past three
years in the line of important legis-
lation and diplomatic victories than
the Colonel could do in thirty.
And still the latter loves to pose as
a man of action, not of words.

New Use For Ford.

The story runs that aNwell known
man had been suddenly stricken
and the doctors told him that he
could not live. The man sent for
his lawyer and instructed the fam
lily to gather around him while he
drew up his will. He had accum-
ulated a goodly share of this
worlds goods, and had apparently
divided it all among his children.
Suddenly one Of the children spoke
up saying, but father, you have
not disposed OF the Ford YETI And
the stricken man was heard to
murmur: No | want the old
Ford buried with me. | have never
gotten into hole yet, that it
couldn't pull me out of. !"

French Retake Ground in Verdun.

London. Oct Military ex-
perts here point out that the French
coup at Verdun has regained virtual
ly all the ground lost in the second
battle of Verdun. This was accom-
plished with lightning suddenness in
a single day, whereas the Germans
occupied nearly two months in TAX
ing this ground from the French.
Switching their offensive from the
Somme region in France, possibly as
a counter to the advance of the Teu-
tonic allies in the Dobrudia region
of Roumania, the French have
smashed the German line north and
northeast of Verdun over front of
four and one-third miles, penetrat-
ing it along its entire length, in the
center gaining a distance of nearly
two miles.
Preceded by a violent lombard
ment, such as marked the great at
tacks and counter attacks during the
days when Verdun was the focal
point in world interest, the offensive
was delivered approximately from the
eastern bank of the Meuse river near
Bras eastward to the Damloup bat.

Carranza May Leave Mexico.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Charges
that Gen. Carranza is preparing to
leave Mexico are being freely made
by his political opponents in Mexico
City. They are based upon his de-
cision to leave his capital for Quere-
taro, and the fact that Mrs. Carran-
"a already has crossed into the United
States, accompanied by the wife of
her husbands war minister and chief
supporter, Gen. 0bregon.
Information to this effect is reach
ing officials here from various rell-
able sources. So far nothing tan
gible tending to support the story
has come through official channels
1t is known, however, that many Of
ficials here believe Gen. Carranza
has committed a political blunder at
least, il he is not in fact preparing
for flight, by permitting his family
to leave Mexico just at this time. The
trip, they say, was certain to be
construed by his enemies as a confes-
sion of weakness.
The purpose of the visit of Mrs
Carranza and Mrs. 0bregon, as ex-
planned at the Mexican embassy, is
for tour of the United States. Word
of the arrival at the border also OF
Mrs. Jacino Trevino, wife of the
military commander of Shihuahua
state, had not been received tonight
1t was pointed out, however, thai
Tervino has been among Carranza''
staunchest supporters and that if the
first chief believed his hold on the
political situation was weakening
Thevino very probably would b'
warned in order that he might alsc
place his family in safety.

GEN. sykes WRITES HISTORY
Of WhLThAlL's BRIGADE
PROMINENT LOCAL VETERAN
COMPLETES IMPORTANT
VOLUME.

Gen. f. T. Sykes, of this city, who
was adjutant-generl of Walthall's
Brigade, Army of the Tennessee, C.
S. A., during the civil war, has COM
piled history of the brigade under
the caption: "Walthall's Brigade, a
Cursory Sketch, with Personal Ex-
periences."
The sketch has been published in
book form, and covers 140 pages. A
copy has been sent to Jackson to be
filed with other valuable Confederate
documents in the department of ar
chives and history.
The Jackson Daily News has the
following to say of Gen. Sykes book,
History of Walthall's Brigade:
"A valuable contribution to the
archives of Mississippi is a history
Of Walthail's Brigade, written by
Gen. f. T. Sykes of Columbus, late
adiutant Of that famous command,
issued in pamphlet form, being a
reprint from several contributions of
that author to the publications of the
Mississippi Historical Society.
General Sykes was the custodian
of the order books and other valu-
able records of General Walthalps
command, and the volume he has just
issued is therefore based largely on
official knowledge These records
have since been placed with the De-
partment of Archives and History.
"A portion of the publication is
devoted to the personal experiences
of General Sykes, written in a most
entertaining manner. His introduc-
tory sketch Of General Walthall is
splendid tribute to that intrepid
soldier and able statesman who
played such conspicuous part in
both the military and civic history
Of the commonwealth.
General Sykes has contributed a
labor Of love that will no doubt be
deeply appreciated by the surviving
members of that famous command.

and prices Immediately began to

cured control of the market, and
rapidly beat prices downward. AZ
one time the decline amounted TO
100 points, which is tantamount to
S5 bale, but the market recuperat.
ed towards the close of the session,
and portion of the loss was re-
gained, closing quotations having
been about 80 points under those of
the previous day.
A comparison of ginnings to cor
responding dates for the three prev
ious years follows: 1915, $40. 900
bales; 1914, 7,G19.00O bales; 1911,
7,758,000 bales. II will be seen from
this comparison that the amount of
cotton ginned this year exceeds that
ginned to the same date last season,
this does not mean that the crop is
anything like as large as the 1915
CROP, as pickinr has progressed more
rapidly than usual, and nearly the

AT the close of business yester-
