WEEKLY MARKET LETTER

Island eggs made the first advance in
several weeks and are now selling for
55 cents Q dozen, The supply does not
equal the demand even 1T this price.
Muscovy ducks are still very plentiful
and Unless they are sold soon the price
Is likely 70 drop lower.
Island potatoes received now are not
as good as those which first came to
the market and the price has dropped
to $50 and $3.50. Pumpkins have
made a slight advance. -.
The Division can now handle several

YOUNG FARMER ADMITS
HE DYNAMlTED VATS

Muskogee, Okla, Feb. 2.-Declaring
that his crime had weighed on his
mind to such an extent that he could
seldom sleep and that when he did
sleep, terrible dreams interfered with
his rest, Thomas Pratt, % years old,
a farmer, walked into the county at
torney's Office Tuesday and confessed
that he had dynamited the government
dipping vat at Mclean in Muskogee
county nearly a year ago.
Pratt gave full details to the county
attorney as to where he obtained the
dynamite and how the work was done.
He said that he was running and was
about two hundred yards away from
the vat when the explosion occurred
and that he has never even looked at
the place since. He named accom-
pices, and warrants have been issued.

SUFFRAGE HOLDS ITS OWN

In spite of the fact that suffrage
met defeat in New York, New Jersey,
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania in
1915, the year was one of substantial
progress for the cause of American
womanhood Even the suffrage de-
feats were recognized as mere re-
pulses and hailed as prophecy of
eventual success. But the record of
definite gain includes the passage of
mothers pension laws in eight states;
in three states the door to political
office was opened wider for women;
in four states laws were enacted regu-
lating hours of labor for women and
children: three states placed wife
and husband on an equal footing in
property rights; New Jersey authoriz-
ed the appointment of women police

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarr-
hal deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result. Unless the inflam-
nation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by ca
tarrh, which is an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Cure acts through the blood on the mu-
cous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Cure. Circulars free. All Drug

PROTEST AGAINST FREEDOM

The agitation for independence for
the Philippines has brought a protest
from large element of people living
there They state that they have
gone there and purchased property
and are engaging in business, and
that If independence is given the
country, conditions will prevail SINH
lar to those in Mexico, that their lives
and property will be in jeopardy, and
they insist that the country remain
as a possession of the United States.
This protest against independence
coming from the island is sufficient
to remind the United States that it
has undertaken serious matter when
It took the island in the first place.
The withdrawal of this country would
bring back to the islands all the ambi-
tious natives who left, and they would
fight for control, as Huerta, Villa
and other have done in Mexico.
1t is doubtful whether this govern
ment has the moral right to leopard
ize the lives and the property of the
people who have gone there expect
ing the protection of the American

GERMAN COLONIES LEAVE
CANADA AND MOVE TO TEXAS

Plainview, Tex, Feb. 3.-Many Ger
man farmers are moving to the Plain
view country, the change in location
being effected partly through the eff
forts of colonization organizations, and
partly because, they say, on account
of the war in Europe, anti-German
feeling in Canada is growing stronger.
Last week number of families, on
special cars, arrived here from Mani
toba, and settled on lands recently
purchased. These colonizers say
many others are to follow.
