Healdton, Okla. Oct. 3.-tSpecian.--
More than 200 signatures are attached
to the petitions forwarded from this
place yesterday to President Woodrow
Wilson, which endorse the presidents
stand In every particular and denouncc
Senator Cores obstructive attitude as
being "the ultimate refinement OF tr.a.
SON." Men In every walk of life I'm
hesitatingly attached their signatures
to the petition. which WAS circulated
by w. a. Baird. member OF the Hcal'l'
ton bar. and not one man was sncoen'
tered who refused TO sign.
The petitions were forwarded to the
president because Heaidton people real
ize fully the utter futility cf asking

and right The senator hasn't a single
follower here. so far as can be ascer-
tained.

in view. not only of the fact that our
country is beset by foes from without,
but especially because of the enemies
within. who, under the guise of 'f."e
speech" are giving public utterance to
sentiments that to us seem to he the
ultimate refinement of treason, for the
reason that i'm the utterance Of such
sentiments they seek the protection of
the constitution they blaspheme. and Of
the flag which they dishonor and lie

We especially deplore the attitude of
the junior senator from Oklahoma,
Thomas Pryor Gore. and assure you that
so far as our knowledge extends. he Is

Color in Liuhtinu.

The Importance Of color in lighting
which seems to have been little con
sidered, was dwelt upon by M. Luck.
iesh, In late paper to the American
Illuminating Engineers society. The
eye Is synthetic, giving color sensa-
tons from mixtures of light of differ.
ent wave lengths. Colored lights may
differ in hue, depending on wave
length, in saturation and purity, due
to the presence or admixture of white
light, and in luminosity, varying with
intensity. Color mixtures may be meas
ured from the contained primary col
OrS-such as red, green and blue. The
colors near the red end of the spec
trum, especially suitable for rooms of
northern exposure, give an effect of
warmth; colors near the violet end are
cold, adapted for rooms facing south.
Artificial daylight can be had from
suitable absorbing glass.

PUSH SOUTH AFRICAN TRADE
Government of Country Believes New
Avenues of Commerce May Be
Opened After the War.

The agricultural societies of South
Africa, along with government Off
Gals in Semiofficial capacity, are
at present studying the London mar
ket as it will be eventually affected
by the results of the war, believing
that a new avenue of commerce will
be opened for South Africa farm pro-
duce. Committees have been appointed
to inquire whether Cape Colony will,
for example, be able to compete with
the ranching enterprises of Liebig in
the Argentine and in Australia. Some
experiments are being tried in the
way of shipping eggs to London. The
demand has gone up seriously within
the last few weeks, owing to the GER
tain shortage in Russia, Denmark and
Switzerland. By standardizing guam
titles and qualities the farmers hope
to get at least slice of the interna-
tional trade. The government will en-

English Scouts Collect Bottles.

One resort of English Boy Scouts
for lettering their resources is to
make collection of bottles, which are
purchased by pharmacists and wine
merchants. The troop of st. Edmond
of Northampton, recently made a
search one afternoon with great sue
cess. About sixty houses were visited
Saturday afternoon between half past
two and half past five, and the bottles
which were gathered were taken to
the courtyard of the school which was
occupied by military authorities of the
section. At six o'clock wagons were
secured to take the bottles to the phar-
macists and wine merchants, who were
very glad to buy them. The scoutmas-
ter, the two assistants and only II
scouts earned in this way, for the
troop, $3.50.

PLANTING COTTON.

More than ten thousand acres of
land in the great Yuma valley are
being leveled for planting to farm
products next year mostly cotton.
Everywhere the hum of this class of
industry is prolific, and as the days
go by others are becoming interested.
1t is stated ON the best of author
ity that more than one thousand
acres of all this new farming land
will be planted to cotton this year.
The long staple variety is having
its inning, and it is more than like
ly it will take the lead at the next
seeding. More than 5000 acres have
already been signed UP for long
staple, the campaign having been
prosecuted by what is known as the

"DEvIL SHIPS" IN WAFARE
Fighting That Is Being Brought
Into Use Today.

1t was reported that "devil ships
were used in modern warfare. These
devil ships" are another of those an
cient ways of fighting of which sc
many, like mOrtars and hand grenades,
have been revived In the fighting on
the continent.
A "devil ship" is ship that has
been filled with explosives which dis
charge either by means of a fuse, OF
clOckwOrk, or when the ship hits an
other ship or obstacle. They were en-
plOyed as long ago as 1856 by the
Dutch, when the prince of Parma be-
sieged Antwerp. In those days they
were sent down the river to explode
against wooden bridge built by the
defenders of Belgium's most important
city. The devil ships" used by the
Germans were exploded by means OF
clOckwork.
They mustn't be mixed up with fire
ships, also used by the German sol
diers. These ships are usually filled
with dry wood smothered in pitch, oil
and other inf1ammable material, and
when fired are sent drifting against
any defense work or ships of the
enemy.

attacks a poor man, and, as though
these were not enough, ON the night
of his arrival when he tried ito get a
little repOse, scorpion stung him
ON the lobe of the right ear, with
results that are sad to behold. Brief
ly summarized his affliction has
wrought the following disabilities:
He cannot stand UP with ease on ac-
count of his rheumatism; he can
not sit down because his boil is in
the way; his lumbago will not permit
him to lie on his back, and he can
not lie on his left side with comfort
on account of his smokers heart"
nor on his right side unless he hangs
his scorpionized ear over the side of
the bed; sleep, either by night or
day, is out of the question as a re-
suit of his neuralgia and toothache;
he cannot eat as his stomach rebels
against food, and he can't drink be

withal, he bears up nobly under his
affliction, not with meek resignation
TO his fate, but with fighting ardor
that would, We're it ON the battlefield,
decorate him with everlasting glory,
declaring that he will not be downed
and positively refusing to give up the
ghost.
This is only an example of the com

THE LEGISLATURE.

PHOENIX, Jan. 18.-The leaders OF
both houses of the legislature are dis
GUESSING plans in connection with the
gubernatorial muddle which will be
put into effect if the delay of the SUI
preme court in handing down a de-
cision in the mandamus proceedings
is continued beyond the week. A
resolution will be adopted, directed
to the court, pointing out the eX-
pense of maintaining the legislature,
about 81, 900 day, and respectfully
urging an early determination of the
identity of a de facto governor. II
then there should be no decision a
resolution is to be presented recog-
nizing Governor Campbell and ask
ing for the transmission of his mes
sage.
lit is said that leaders of both fac
tons will unite in favor of resolu-
ton to thecourt. But there would be
bitter fight over a resolution of
recognition but the Campbell adher-
ents believe they could put it
through.
Only one bill has now passed
each house and that is a bill making
appropriations for the current and
contingent expenses of the legisla-
ture. No other measures have ad-
vanced beyond the stage of first
reading and reference to committees
where they would naturally remain

County Officials Here.

Ike Proebstel, chairman of the
board of supervisors, and County En-
gineer Chas NJ Hindman, arrived in
town Tuesday afternoon from Yuma.
They were touring northern Yuma
county inspecting the roads, and re-
ported that the highway now being
constructed from Bouse to Parker
has been completed for twelve miles
out of Bouse. Another crew is work
ing between Wenden and Bouse, and
the road, it is said, will be finished
into Parker about April l. The worst
of the route between Bouse and Par
ker is yet to be built, although both
Mr.. Proebstel and Engineer Hind
IMAM express confidence in being
able to finish the road with what
money is left of the bond issue fund.
Mr.. Proebstel stated that in the fu-
ture the road fund is to be appor-
toned to the various parts of the
county in proportion to the assessed
valuation. That is what The Post
has commended for all along, and we
are pleased to note that the board
has at last adopted this plan. Now
if the supervisors will live up to
this plan and give the north end it's
just share of the road fund there
won't be any further kicking by the
people who are living in the best
