SOCIAL CLUB ~ To SUSPEND
WHILE WAR Is ON


Among other social organizations
in Durant is a bridge club of limited
membership of young ladies, who's"
custom it has been to meet one af
tcrnOOn a week with one or another
member as hostess. to play bridge.
The hostess serves refreshments
and gives IA small prize to the mem
ber making the high score. as is
done in many other social clubs
composed of women
st the first meeting of III. club
this season there was some discus
sion. and il was informally agreed
that hereafter no prizes would be
given this year and that the lunch
cons would be curtailed and simpli-
fled to great extent. Several Of
the members then decided that it
were better to cut out the lunch en-
tirely. in keeping with the food con-
scrvatiOn pledge; but since the
meeting a number of the members
have gotten their heads together
and decided that the really best
thing to do Is to cut out the club
entertainments entirely and devote
their time and energies to the work
of the Red Cross. of which the club
members are members
The action needs no comment

AN APPEAL FOR JUSTICE.

Editor Capital News: l read of one
Parse Bonner being fined $50 for hav-
ing in his possession six deer hides
presumable killed out Of season. At
least that is more than the limit for
the season. Fifty dollars is a lot of
money Especially when you don't
have it or could not borrow IT'D but
that Is less than $40 per deer and GER
tainly the meat was worth that much
and had Mr.. Bonner gotten it over"
the hides would have perhaps brought
near that.
I would consider 1t quite a light SEN
tence especially as compared to some
other fines imposed upon breakers of
the game law Last spring some 20
poor negro section men went fishing in
the Snake river Any one who has ev-
er fished in the Snake knows about
what kind of fish is caught--an occa-
sional sturgeon that Is considered good
eating. At certain seasons (but not
the spring. and at certain spots trout
is rarely landed. The same is true OF
white fish. So the commonly caught
fish Is the squaw and sucker. Did you
ever eat one? Good enough meat but
more bones than meat. However, if
you did not have the price of meal,
as many of these colored boys were
fixed you could make out with sucker.
Instead of being paid for Kidding the
water of these fish the boys were each
| fined SO and costs. Strange, but the
raid was made the day after payday.
However the boys that could have paid
stood by the rest and all took board on
the county and was paid So per day
(allowed on their fine) whereas they
were only getting $1.75 on the section
and boarding themselves.
Every spring tons of all kinds OF fish
come up from the river into the small
streams and get out into tho irrigation
bitches and perish in the fields. This
| includes the fish as above mentioned
that are seldom caught with hook
and nothing il done about ii.
| These laborers were at that time
trading with me and as / was issuing
game licenses for this community
some one made a trade deal out of the
matter by telling the negroes inform
ed on them because they would not buy
licenses through fne causing them to
change their patronage. The deputy
claims he was telephoned to come get
them but refused to divulge the name
of his informer
! Such is the workings of fate.
Yours for just laws, honest officers
and just judges.
