GUARDsMEN ARE TO RETURN
 FROM THE MEXICAN BORDER
Order Issued by the War Department
 ReIeasing 25,ooo.

Washington, Jan. 21-More than 25,000 national guardsmen now on the Mexican border have been designated by Major General Funston for return home and muster out Of the federal service, under the order issued yes terday by the war department.
 All these organizations will be started homeWard as soon as trans portation facilities can be provided. Their departure will leave between 45, 900 and 50,000 men of che gu8rd still in the federal service doing bor- der patrol.
 War department officials continue to withhold comment on reports that the movement of General Pershing's regulars out of Mexico soon will be under way and the statement an nouncing the guardsmen q signated ders with the withdrawal plans. The understanding has been, however, that with the return of the eXpedi- tion in Mexico and the readjustment of the border patrol all the state troops gradually would be sent home.
 The departments statement said:
 General Funston has selected these organizations chiefly in accordance with the rule of returning first those trops longest in service on the bor- der. To some extent. however, this rule could not be followed without unequal weakening of the border guard and the departures from 1t are so explained The total of the strength of the organizations selected is 25, 243.'
 The guardsmen designated for re- turn and muster out comprise units from 25 states and the District of Co., Iumbia, the following from the north eastern states:
 Massa sachusetts: ambulance company No. 2; field hospital No. ?.
 New Hampshire: First Infantry.
 New York: Seventy fourth Infan- try: field bakery company supply train: ambulance company No. 4.

interest is felt here in the ice crop and hundreds go to see the work go on. 1. F. Lewis started the business 40 years ago with a small house near the site of the present ones which was filled by horse power. At this time and for many years after farmers never thought of such a thing as cutting ice. Today it is the exception where a farmer does not have his own icehouse and in most cases the pond is arti- ficial.
 Thirty year sago G. A. Haskell, who then conducted a meat business built slaughter house on the Dorrville pond and connected with it he erected an icehoUse of 800 tons capacity which he filled each year for his own use. Three years ago the Shea Bros ice- houses burned, Sunday, July 27th, leaving a small mountain of ice a large part of which was salvaged by build ing a temporary covering of boards around it and stuffing the sides with several tons of hay. Today the new houses will hold upwards of 5000 tons and are all that the modern house requires.
 James Shea said on the pond Sunday afternoon that by blowing deep he hoped to have 1O-inches by Monday night Ice which is plowed will easily freeze as fast again as when not plowed

Shea Brothers began cutting ice for the second time this season when Sum- day they started to blow their big fields at DorrvifIe Sunday night the ice was measured at several different points, with a showing of 8 1-2 inches.

 Keep this perfect stomach doctor in your home-keep it handy-get large hfty-cent case from any drug store and then if anyone should eat something which doesn't agree with them; if what they eat lays like lead, ferments and sours and forms gas; causes head ache. dizziness and nausea; eructa- tions of acid and undigested food remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin comes in contact with the stomach all such distress vanishes. Its promptness, certainty and ease in overcoming the worst stomach disorders is a revela- tfon to those who try it.

MORE GRACE FOR TAXPAYERS
County Treasurer Dcfcrs Penalty for
Few Days Longer.

Thru the good graces Of Ed Dalton,
treasurer for Tulsa county, "A few
more days of grace have been affurded
delinquent taxpayers.
Il am not prepared to state when
the penalty will go on" Mr. Dalton
said yesterday, when asked concern
ing the payment of 1916 real and per
sonal taxes. ut is my opinion that
most of those who intend to pay have
paid, and the penalty may 90 into cf-
feet any day.
More than so per cent of the 1916
taxes have been paid. A penalty of
l y per cent a month was supposed to
have become effective June Ii, but
the treasurer is temporarily withhold
ing the extra fee.
According to Mr.. Dalton there are
several large firms in Tulsa which
are not paying their taxes at the pres
ent time because they can make more
than y per cent out of their money.
