lowing Saturday at noon in time for

Mr.. Hall reports all crops south Of

are somewhat better and foodstuffs
looking fine. At Waco and in the ter
ritory south, corn is made though nc
rain has fallen there for some time
"The wheat and corn south Of Lawton
we're blistered and blighted by few
days of seorching winds and the far
mers are not even attempting to har
vest but have already turned The stock

Son After
20 Years; Did
Not KnOlU Him

Meeting his son after an absence OF
twenty years and then not recognizing
the boy who had grown to full mans
size and tips the heam at III pounds,
was the experience Of Deputy County
Clerk D. G. Hart. Comrade Hart at
tended the national Confederate reun-
ion at Washington, d. c., and, as he
puts it, had the time of his life. II
was a solid round Of pleasure and mar
vels and thrills for the seventeen days
that he was away. He anticipated
with great joy the meeting with his
boy, John T. Hart, who holds posi-
tion in the legal division Of the pension
bureau His son met him at the sta.
tion but was SO big and so much more
rounded out than the father had mag
ined that the Chickasha man had trou.
BILE in comprehcnding that this big
piece of manhood belonged to him. OF
course he was proud OF him on sight
and his pride grew with the days liz
which he was the guest at his nome
during his stay IN the cap;-al city.
Mr. Hart recounts many interesting
experiences, one Of which was the re-
view in the national museum Of the
styles in women's dresses from the
early days to 1917. Among these was
the $4,000 costume which was worn a
few years ago by Mrs. John r. Nc
Lean, wife Of the well known new edi-
tor, which was in contrast with the
simpler styles of long ago.

Food Control

Reduce Prices
sy United Eress.

9y United Fress.
Washington, June 19.-Warning
them that food control alone can pre-
vent further tremendous increases in
food prices, Herbert Hoover address
ed the membes Of the senate today.
Fifty members, most of them oppos
ed to food control, listened to Hoover's
explanation of the measures. Condi'
tions in this country are expected to
hasten senate action.
Hoover's speech dispelled the illus.
ion that the proposed bill was aimed
at the producer or provided for the
fixing of prices. The bill merely pro-
vides means of regulating the distri-
button machinery on war basis, to
mobilize the spirit Of self denial and
to eliminate waste.

Protest a Happy Ending.

The Paris correspondent of the
Pail Mall Gazette recently re-
ported a curious suit that should
interest the readers Of Flaubert's
romance of Carthage. The action
was brought by the niece of Gus
tave Flaubert against the adapters
OF "Salammbo" for the cinema.
Flaubert, 1t will be remembered,
finishes his novel with the mob
bing and death of Mathos before
the eyes of his mistress, who seems
entirely Indifferent to his fate. This
would not do for the film. The
adapters not only save the generals
life. but ring down the curtain
with the marriage OF the lovers,
who live happily together ever
after" and have a multitude Of
children to grace their old age.
This platonic and commonplace
ending to masterpiece. Mortified
the dilettantes, who made so much
fuss about the caricaturing of the
story that FIaubert's literary exc
cutor felt compelled to take the
matter up, and has appealed to the
courts for redress-Kansas City
