BLUE SKY LAND"
CASES TO TRIAL
After Years Delay the Men
Charged With Swindling
Will Be Given Hearing.
EIGHTEEN SIGN ACCUSATIONS
Tulsans Say They Exchanged
Valuable Property and Cash
for Worthless Deeds.

Deals thru which Is persons allegc
they were swindled will be exposed
when the trials OF X. @. Burns and
Ira White come up in the district
court next Monday. The two men are
charged with promoting the blue
sky land frauds" In Tulsa more than
year ago.
The charges against Burns an1
White were preferred by men and
women Who say they traded valuable
real estate for worthless deeds. All
are persons OF modest means VINO

The land upon which Burns and
White based their operation was the
old Wolcott grant in Virginia. This
grant has been used as the basis OF
real estate frauds in all parts OF the
country.
Arrested in January, 1916.
state records of Virginia show that
q Colonel Wolcott was given grant
Of $4,000 acres in 1895 between the
east and west forks Of Big 500 creek.
He failed TO perfect tue 10 the land
and it returned to the state. Since
that time it has been reapportioned.
Smooth swindlers tell prospective
dupes that the land belongs to the
heirs Of colonel Wolcott. The deeds
they give in return for trades or cash
are worthless.
Burns and White were arrested here
in January, 1915. They have since
been out on bond. Their cases have
been continued from time to time on
technicalities but are certain OF COM
ing TO trial next week.

A Popular Place.

Detroit has been often spoken Of al
the wonder City," owing to its mar
yelous growth in population from
465,766 in 1910 to 915, 448 in 1917
The automobile industry is solely re
sponsibie for this record growth
Detroit turns out more than two.
thirds of all the motor cars made in
America, and the Ford Motor Com
pany produces better than two-thirds
of all the motor cars made in Detroit
So probably the greatest factor in the
growth and general development of
Detroit is the Ford Motor Company.
About the first question the visitor to
Detroit asks is, "Where is the Ford
factory?" A total of 18,445 visitors
passed through the big plant during
the month of October. They come
from every part of. the civilized
world, and go away in pleased amaze
ment over the aggressive efficiency
they have witnessed. Probably the
highest tribute this efficiency could
receive lies in the fact that these
thousands of visitors are conducted
through the Ford factory every month
without in the last disturbing the
even regularity of the more than
$4,000 workers.

WHY SUGAR is SCARCE.
Exports to Nations Allies and Troops
Abroad Cause Shortage Here.

, Some sections of the United States
are temporarily short of sugar be-
cause the nation is partially filling
the imperative needs of the allies and
is supplying sugar for it's troops in
France. In 1917 the United States
has exported over Is times as much
as it had averaged in the three years
preceding the war.
The worlds sugar crop for 1851 z
was nearly 100000 tons less than
that of 1928. A greater shortage,
however, affects the European allies
because their own production has
been greatly cut, and prior to the war
Germany and Austria exported each
year approximately 1,722,00 tons. In
prewar times England received 81
per cent of her total sugar supply
from the central powers, which is now
supplied from the United States
sources.
b While European allies are being
materially aided with sugar from the
United States, they are far from
getting more than their share at the
expense of the citizen who once in
while may have to drink his coffee UNI
sweetened. The average consumption
of sugar per capita in England before
the war was more than SO pounds a
year. Now the maximum limit is 26
pounds, with some likelihood of that
being unobtainable. In France the
limit is Is pounds per capita; in Italy
IL pounds.
The average consumption of sugar
per capita in the United States is still
about 80 pounds.

SCHOOL DISPLAYS PATRIOTISM.
Dutchtown High Correlates Domestic
Arr Work With Red Cross Endeavor.

The Dutchtown domestic art class,
under the auspices of Miss Treen, has
been doing its share toward contribut-
ing articles to the Red Cross for the
soldiers. This is highly commenda-
BILE, as the soldiers need these gar
ments, and also because of the moral
influence this kind of philanthropic
work has on the children.
In the work outlined for pupils to
accomplish during their high school
career the main aim prevails, LEARN
to sew, so as to do things for ones
self" Is this the proper idea to in
culcate into the already selfish child?
Rather let us strive to make them de-
sirous of doina things for their fell
bowman. Hence, the advantage Of
this correlation.
Let us all profit by this worthy ex-
ample and strive to direct our days
occupation along some line which will
be of benefit to someone else.
An enumeration Of the work ac-
complished to date is as follows: Four
sweaters, forty eight bed shirts, three
pairs wristlets, two dozen wash mops.
