done. One of the girls was injured

With sigh Of relief and at a six

grip with the remnants OF his craden-

and was deeply grateful to the author

sion that it did not pay to pile up a

would never look Chickashaward
again so long as he lived.

Oklahoma City, Feb 1O.-Diametri

ma during the next few weeks. While
local militarists are endeavoring to or.
ganize the American Military League
a preparedness undertaking with Theo.
dore Roosevelt a possible leader, and
while other patriotic people who be-
lieve in the safety first" policy are
preparing along other lines, pacifists
have arranged through the World
Wide League to Enforce Peace for a
meeting here February 2S at which
ex-President William Howard Taft will
be the principal speaker.
The newly created American Mill
tary League is an Oklahoma undertake
ing that may gain nationwide support
It's aims are:
TO conduct school Of military in
struction.
To secure a list Of men with militia
ry experience.
To organize local leagues through

JUNIOR HIGH TRIMS
tiD,lJEKAH BASKETEERS

The Junior High school boys defeat
ed the Ninnekah High school boys at
the Junior High gym last night by the
score Of 1921.
The Junior High school boys showed
wonderful improvement over the game
last week at Ninnekah which went to
N. H. S. by a score Of 55-11.
Diamond Roach and Herbert Seaman
led in goal throwing for the home team
while the whole team deserves credit
for the victory.
Ninnekah played good game but
luck was with the Chickasha team and
so ended the fastest and hardest fought
game Of the season, with the Junior
High boys one point in the lead. The
lineup follows:
Ninnekah-Paul, Franks, forwards; !;
Duke, center; Owen, Robertson, guards.
Chickasha-D. Roach, N. Crosby,
forwards; Seaman, center; Wasser-
back, Brown, guards.

WORDS, MASTERS
OF OUR ACTIONS
Importance Of Speech Declared to be as
Great as That Of Ideas

words are women, deeds are men,
wrote George Herbert in the early six
teen hundreds. Actions speak louder
than words, runs an old proverb. De-
mocritus said, words are but the shad-
ows Of actions" These are only half
truths, however. They might just as
well be reversed. There can be no ac-
ton without thought behind it. But
you can't voice thought without
words Words are the tools Of thought,
the weapons Of the intellect. Word
wisdom is thoughtwisdom. Deep
thoughts require deep words. This
proves that words are the masters Of
all action-of all conduct.
The thought, through the word pre-
cedes the deed, guides it, controls it.
Words are just as important as ideas.
Thought without adequate expression
is void and empty How beautifully
the scriptures express this in Genesis:
And God said: BE light made. And
light was made" And God said:
LET there be a firmament y
let the waters that are under the heav-
en- be gathered together let
the earth bring forth the green herb
let there be lights in the firm.
ament' u fact, the words Of the Del
ty were His very acts o. creation. This
has marvellous significance, once one
stops to think Of it.
If words therefore play so impor-
tant part in thought and action, why
is it that people in everyday life do
not cultivate the use Of words? Word
study would certainly get word Wis.
dom, thought-power, deed-energy. A
dictionary should be daily oompan-
ion. Within reach every hour Of the
twentyfour, frequent consultation
would produce surprising results in a
short time. We feel sure that our Of
fer Of The New Universities Diction-
airy will be Of l9sting benefit to or
readers. We know Of nothing that
could be more welcome at the same
time in office. school, home, shop and
study. Our coupon in to-day's paper
explains terms.

COVERS MANY
ROOSTS in ONE
NIGHT JOURNEY

While confessing his guilt privately
to Sheriff Hodge Bailey, James N.
Brunette pleaded not guilty yesterday
afternoon in Judge Moores court to
the charge Of wholesale chicken theft
and was bound over in the sum OF
$1,000 to await the action Of the dis
trict court.
Brunette was landed by Sheriff Bal
ley and Deputy CastIeman on the Cad
do county line yesterday afternoon
after a hot chase by farmers who had
been the victims Of his thefts. They
had trailed him to the timber and the
officers went in and caught their man
while he lay on his wagon in front Of
a farmhouse. He offered no resist
ance.
Most Of the chickens were returned
to their rightful owners last evening
but about a dozen and half Of good
frying size remain in the coop back Of
the jail. Six Of these belong to one
woman, Brunette explained.
The roost raider did not make lew
farmers the victims Of large thefts but
distributed his purloinings over a con-
siderable territory in a night. taking
two or three fowls from one roost, a
half dozen from another and one or
two from smaller roost IN the hope
that he would avoid detection and les
sen the chance OF prosecution. But he
failed to calculate on community ac-
tion. which proved to be his undoing.
Brunette was raised near Ei Reno
but has been camping around chicka,
sha Of late.

WILL JOBS
PAY MORE
NEXT YEAR?
RumOr That City Council Will Be Asked
to Raise Wages OF Five City
Officials

Whether or not the salaries of city
officials will be increased in time OF
benefit to those who will be elected as
result of the action of the democrat
ic primaries on March 20 will have to
be decided at one Of the two regular
council meetings which will be held
in the interim, one on February % and
March 8.
That the city council would take
some action to be effective when the
newly elected officers shall be Install
ed was rumored some weeks ago in
the neighborhood of the city hall but
nothing further has been heard from
it since
The salaries now paid are declared
by some who have studied the matter
to be too low considering the service
required and the responsibilities at
tached to the officers. Instances are
cited of those of the mayor, city clerk,
city treasurer and chief Of police who
receive $3.50 a month and the street
commissioner who gets only $75.
On the eve Of the primaries two
years ago the salaries Of the city clerk
and chief Of police we're cut down
from SlOO per month and $3.50 was
tackled on to the salaries of the mayor
and city treasurer.
