GOOD NEWS

The country had reason to rejoice
when it learned that the crops were
far beyond the predictions which had
been made. Those of philosophy
cal turn of mind now declare that it
has always been the case. But it is
good news none the less. When the
crops are in it may be found that the
total is even greater than the recent
count. This is attributed to the in
crease in acreage of course, but APP
parently the weather has not been as
as reports have gener-
ally indicated. Localities have suf-
fered and others prospered, as in any
year. Great joy is found over the
increase in acreage of many of the
staples such as wheat and corn. Po-
tatoes came in for a large share of
attention as we'll. And what has
doubtless increased the sum total as
much as anything else has been the
war gardens. Naturally when a
family is feeding itself out of its
own garden, other stuffs are being
conserved National Field.

THIRD CAR coNFIscATED BY
THE COURT

C. J. Rogers and Fl. E. Whelchel
of Liberal, Kansas, were returning
from Dalhart, Texas, Tuesday in a
Ford runabout and on the road be-
tween Stratford and Texhoma, they
made quite display of the booze
they had on the outside and what
they were putting away on the in
side. Two Texas county officials
were in their rear and just as soon
as the happy pair passed over into
Oklahoma Deputy Sheriff Jim Set
ties was notified.
Settles searched the car and
found two quarts of whiskey and five
Lpints Of beer and he proceeded to ar
rest the men and bring them to
Guymon in their car. On the way
Whelchel attempted to destroy the
damning evidence which was found
in their possession. He succeeded
in clandestinely throwing away two
bottles of beer when he was appre-
hended.
The two men were charged with
unlawfully transporting intoxicat-
ing liquors in Oklahoma and were
arraigned before County Judge Bob
Howsley. Rogers plead guilty and
stated that the car and the booze
were his and that Whelchel was
merely passenger. Whelchel
plead not guilty and was released.
He is a prominent contractor at
Liberal and Rogers is carpenter
who has been working for him.
The judge fined Rogers 500 and
sixty days in Jail and confiscated the
car and the booze. In imposing the
fine the judge stated that the high
ways of Texas county would not be
used for transporting liquor if he
could prevent it and that no one
convicted before him on that charge
need expect less than 500 and six
ty days. Recently drunken driv-
err threw bottle through the wind
shield of a passing car seriously in
juring the occupants.
Rogers is spending his vacation
in the county Jail and Whelchel was
last seen trying to find way home.
This is the third car the Texas
county officials have confiscated
in the past thirty days. Their first
victim was Ford belonging to Nor
ris Fleetwood, of Ensign, Kansas,
captured after an exciting chase five
miles out of Texhoma, loaded to the
limit with George Ely's Dalhart, Tex
as, product. Fleetwood served a
term in Jail. On June 10 Sheriff
Leeman discovered big Buick six
loaded with booze in a garage at
Goodwill. The owners of the car
tried hard to recover it but the big
$1,000 car met the same fate as the
Ford's.-Hooker Advance.

wHIsKEY CONSUMPTION

It is rather startling to hear that
there are over 1000, 100000 gallons
of wh;skey stored in the United
States, which has been manufactur-
ed for the purpose of human con-
sumption. 1t is one thing to have a
well stocked cupboard, but it would
be quite different to be told that
such and such number of pounds Of
food stuff must be consumed in a
given time, it makes one feel he
doesn't care for food so much after
all. 1t may be a good thing for a
nation to find out that in order to
become strictly temperate, it must
go on a dreadful orgy and then So

TOO MUCH LYING

Some time ago congressman was
talking about Germany's habit of
putting onto England and France the
blame for the atrocities she has COM
mitted in the war. He was of the
opinion that she might clear herself
somewhat in this way if all such ex-
cuses put forward by her were not
lies. Germany, he said, reminded
him of man named Smith whose
auto broke down one day in re-

was no telephone or other means
by which he could communicate with
his wife.

No Information to Be Given
Public Until Task Has
Been Completed.
MAY AGREE WITHIN A WEEK

In beginning conferences today on the
50 2,416.000,000 war tax bib the Senate
and House conferees made preliminary
survey of their disputes, and began a
general discussion, but postponed any
definite important action. At the in
stance Of Representative Kitchin a
secrecy rule was adopted The con-
ferees decided, over the vigorous pro-
test of Senator Simmons, heading the
Senate members, and others, that no
piecemeal or other actual decisions
would be made public until they com
plete their work. Those favoring Sc
crecy said that publication of conference
actions would bring Il swarm of lobby
lists into work and delay a final report
1t is hoped to complete the work inside
of a week, after which the bill will go to
the President for approval
Demands of the House conferees
probably will include revision of the
pre-war graduated profits system and
higher rates on Swollen" profits and
big incomes; elimination of the Senate
parcel post stamp tax provision and
possibly restoration of the second-class
postage increase.

ton is ba ased on revised official figures
