Sale.

There is an ancient wheeze TO the
effect that judicious investment In
the cup that queers will make any
person temporarily a millionaire.
Irene Wilcox made the Investment,
not to drink herself, but to gain con-
troll of some property. The ancient
wheeZe was discredlted.
The story was unfolded yesterday In
the county court when the matter OF
the confiscation and sale OF house
hold furnishings, ct cetera, seized by
Joe Duran. former city detective. In
a raid. came up for adjudication be-
fore Judge II. l.. Standeven.
Cleo Clark. now a resident of okla
homa City, used TO own the place"
at 115 " South Elgin street. on May
2s she sold her property to Irene Will
cox for $2.500. or this amount, $500
was paid at the time OF the sale and
the balance was to have been paid in
monthly installments OF 800. Two
such installments were paid.
Irene Defaults.
Irene defaulted on the third pay
ment, which was due August 23. On
the advice of an attorney of this city.
II Is said, Irene put into execution u
plan designed to get control of the fur
niture, probably at a greatly reduced
price. by having the court sell 1t.
The title to the property remained
In the name of Cleo Clark. on Sep
tember 4 a raid occurred at the place.
and in each of the eleven rooms a
half-pint of whisky was found con-
cealed in the bed. Another half-pint
was found In the ice box. There was
..tlxl lalx III
and twelve whisky glasses. All the
property of the house was taken and
the court was asked to order II sold
as provided In cases where Illegal pos
session of liquor is proven.
The fine little scheme was nipped
however, when the inter-plea filed by
Cleo Clark was granted by Judge
Standeven. Cleo Is allowed to keep
her property. except for the liquor,
which she made plain to the court she
had no title to.
The Plundcr.
An itemized list of the property is

Farmers Backbone of Army.

Here are some facts from Farm
and Fireside which show just how
i'm portant a part farmers will play in
this war. The writer Of the article
from which these figures are taken
says:
"At the rate of four pounds OF
foodstuffs a day for the soldier,
which is the ration for camp or gar
rison, 100000 pounds will have
daily to be provided for the troops.
This is something Of task. OF fresh
beef alone there will be call for l.
100000 pounds. The army will
drink thirty-five tons Of coffee daily.
Two huge trainloads Of foodstuffs
will be required each day to carry
the provisions for the force in ques-
tioa. Think of furnishing the meals
for a great moving city Of million
people, or of provisioning thousand
or more great circuses, and you will
have a better idea Of what feeding
the new army means"

AUTOMOBILE LAWS.
Some as Easy to Enforce as the
Chinese Law that FOrbids
Improper Conduct.

Early in the history of the automo-
bile, it was turned loose On the high
ways with but slight control. AS a
tale Of disaster and wreckage came
up from the highways, most states
passed laws and fairly severe provi-
sions Then the motorists formed
associations and acquired political
pun There was a tendency to let up
on them a bit, until in most states the
fundamental provision requiring mo-
tor speed is that it shall be reason
able and proper" or careful and pru-
dent" This is as easy to enforce as
the Chinese law that forbids all i'm
proper conduct.
Every year the legislatures keep
tinkering the motor laws, and few
motorists can give any intelligent &C
count of them. A good many states
have fixed schedules of speeds, as
that ten miles an hour is permitted
in towns, eight miles around curves,
twenty miles elsewhere, etc. 1t is
very difficult to enforce these provi-
sions, since no one but the operator
can tell how fast a car is going, and
if he is in trouble he won't tell.
1t comes up to the judgment OF
witnesses how fast car is going and
juries are not sympathetic with
speeders.
There are many people who feel
bitterly about the speed maintain.
ed by automobiles. They constitute
a persistent influence working for
more severe laws. They point to the
increasing number of accidents and
the freedom given inexperienced
drivers as grounds for a more severe
regulation. If motorists show an in
creasing tendency toward caution, il
is probable that the statutes will set
tie down on about their present bas-
is giving much latitude to individual,
judgment.
But if this increasing caution is
not developed, stricter automobile
law seems probable. Every associa-
ton of motorists, every garage and
selling agency, should ally itself with
a general campaign Of safety first.
