RAMONA MAKES IT HOT
FOR SANTA FE ROAD
And Latter Gets Injunction
Against "Rambunctious"
City Officials.

The little city OF Ramona is\not so
large hut 1t can make a noise when
il tries. II Is Just now engaged in n
hot fight with the Santa Fe railroad
and has Just sent that corporation
scurrying into the United States dis
triet court asking for protection.
Ramona is growing and the Santa
Fe terminals there seem to be in the
way of her expansion. So the city Of
flcialk ordered the railroad company
to get its little depot out of the way
OF new thorofare to be opened. The
latter refused to obey and legal bat
tie is to be staged In the courts
Yesterday the Santa Fe applied 10
Judge Ralph T.. Campbell for q tenn
porary restraining order to stop the
mayor ard city officials from further
action.
Judge Campbell granted n temper
airy order, notifying u. G.. Bassett
mayor, Commissioners l.. X. Gideon
and Charles Coleman, and Clerk w
w. Byers to suspend their activities
against the railroad until he cal hear
the merits OF the case at Muskogee
November 19
The Santa Fe claims the Ramona
officials are "hellbent' on getting
their street opened, even IL they have
to force 1t to take its terminals and
get out of town. II says they have
ordered II to make way for the neH
street and remove its PASSENGER sta
ton, tracks, water tower, etc, with
cut even offering to pay a nickel for
the property which, 1t says, is worth
at least $4,000.
The new street is to be an eXten-
sion of Cherokee avenue. which Is
Ramona's Broadway" and evidently
the town has grown out beyond the
railway station, which necessitates cit
liens going several blocks getting
around the railroads property.
The city officials recently ordered
the Santa Fe to open up the new
street, but It refused to do II. They
then passed an ORDINANCE requiring
the opening and providing thst the
railroad company shall not permit any

HOUSTON, Texas, Nov. 13.-The
striking oil workers of the Texas
Louisiana fields have appealed to Will
Nam Is. Wilson, secretary of labor, TO
come To Houston and endeavor to ad-

them and the operating oil companies.
The two conciliators, j. j. Barrett

strike, have abandoned their efforts.
They were ordePed by telegram to
proceed to Orange, Texas, imme-

that 1t will be unnecessary for the

The. ON their tobacco crop this year.
r Sc suckers" are in reality sec
md growth of leaves that put out on
the tobacco stalk of the forward crops
after the tobacco has been cut
When tobacco natures and is cut
by September l, there is a fair chance
to get a good crop Of Suckers" be-
fore frosts comes. These will not
mature into first-class tobacco at all,
and usually are brought to market
green in color. But they class as low
grade and sell to the Spanish and 9TH
er trades that deal in such tobaccos.
The reason for the increased inter-
est in suckers" this year is the ready
demand and high prices which they
brought last season. Any sort of
Sucker" tobacco brought 81 to So
per hundred and the best of il went
as high as $3.50. These prices in or
binary times would be considered a
good price for good leaf of the crop
proper, so it is no wonder that the
farmers see fine possibilities in their
suckers" this year for everything
points TO an even stronger demand
and higher prices for the 1917 crop
than ruled on the 1916 crop.
The Sucker" crop requires no cul-
tivation, the only attention given it
being to keep ii free from worms,
which usually do not bother much,
and keep the extra leaves pulled off.
Usually sucker" plant is allowed TO
have 8 or 10 leaves. In favorable
season these second growths will
yield around 500 pounds to the acre,
or, based on last seasons prices, from
$40 to $50 per acre additional reve-
nue.. And that without any further
expense and not much trouble.
This year the crop was not planted
extra early but ii has grown rapidly
and everything points to the cutting
season beginning about the middle OF
August and being over for the most
part before the month Is out II this

feet of the British preliminary bonn
bardment indicate that the efforts of
this unparalleled expenditure Of am
munition were disastrous in the ex-
IRENE, both in damage and to the
morale of the German troops.
Within the past few days six Bava-
rian divisions were withdrawn from
the line and replaced by fresh troops
because they were so thoroughly de-
moralized by the inferno offire which
they had undergone. Photographs
taken by aviators back of the German
lines show that there was scarcely a
square yard of territory along their
front which was not devastated by
the high explosives. II is small won

holding their front line thinly and
