instrument used in cutting the
bars.
On Friday night he and Mr..
Egbert Bullock found another bar
that had been cut and it is
thought this one was cut later in
the afternoon. It was observed
during Friday that the prisoners
were keeping up an unusual
amount Of noise at the Jail. Com
positors in the Enterprise Office.

this, and it is surmised that they
were singing and rafting the cage

the bars. The prisoners thought
that Sheriff LaFon being away
would be their opportunity Of ef-
fecting a Jail delivery. but they
reckoned without their hosts, as
young Bullock was expecting just
such a stunt to be attempted and

bunch. Mr.. Egbert Bullock sat
up all Friday night watching, and
on Saturday morning found two

CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into sour bile, making
you sick and you lose
a days work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into it,
causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just 60 to
your druggist and get SO cent bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is harm
less vegetable substitute for dangerous
calomel. Take a spoonful and if it
doesn'b start your liver and straighten
you up better and quicker than nasty
calomel and without making you sick,
you just go back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full Of ambition and ready
for work or play. It's harmless, pleas
ant and safe to give to children; they
like it.

A SUCCESSFUL business must be advertised to keep it up to its higher standard of efficiency. To build up business by judicious advertising and then when you have reached the point desired to chop off your adver- tising and depend upon the reputa- tion you have established to continue the sale of your goods is as fatal to the continuation of success as for one to enter upon a rigorous course of athletic training, continue it for years. and break short off; taking up life of luxurious ease. To keep your bus mess at high standard requires con- stant effort Nothing stands still; nothing has ever stood still since the memorable bout of Joshua with Old Sol. There is a retrogression in bus mess affairs the instant one relaXes his efforts. If you expect to succeed in this day and age of commercial competition you must get up on your toes and reach after the high ones.

Wyoming is Oil Mad

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 21.-- Wyoming has gone oil mad. Within the next year big developments are certain, according to advices received lhere by petroleum experts both in the government service and those acting for corporations and private business interests.
 The oil stampede started when, after the midwest concern had turn ed down a particular dome-the Big Muddy some private interests took 1t up and got oil. One man who went practically broke operating all as- bestos plant was a pioneer in this oil idevelopment and now the town of Parker has been built up and named 1 in his honor.
 The oil fever has been quickened by a decision given in October by Judge Riner to the effect that it is not necessary to make commercial discoveries of oil to perfect claims, as the federal government has held for some years. Judge Riner's deci- sion said in essence that if man found actual trace of mineral he was seeking and under such conditions
 that the ordinarily prudent man would follow up the discovery with investment of his own money, the claim should stand. The forest service had fathered the contention that
 commercial discovery must be made
 because it has been discovered that
 a number of valuable forest sites were held on placer claims.
 The oil ,prospectors in Wyoming are making a speciality of patented lands and school lands. Petroleum ex-
 perts sa ythe oil fever in Wyoming is worse than the rush for gold ir
 California or the Klondike.

\ MODERN SAMSON.

RICHARD D. BLOUNT. jr. of Saint Louis, U. s. A., has joined the For ! eign Legion. Upon the eve of Rich ! ards departure his father announced (not for publication. of course), that if Richard killed five Germans he would be satisfied with his sons prOw- ess. Now that the open season has opened upon Germans there should be good sportsman will violate game Jaw, even upon Germans, and Rich ards father might have placed the limit of his sons bag of Teutonic game at fifty, or hundred,--or like Samson, who slew the Philstines the same way, at thousands. While Mir. Blount is showing blood-l,Nst beyond the ken of the average man, i've must protest that to allow such sanguin ary specimen of the genus homo to enter the war at this time when the Hon. Theodore is just on the eve of his departure for the front is unfair. We believe Congress should limit MT. Rlount's prowess and give Roosevelt :, chance to enjoy the carnage.
 Seriously speaking. there shoulc be little decency exhibited even in killing an enemy, and MT. Blount's enthusiasm appears to be a little off color to the man who goes into the conflict realizing it's serious potential ities. Brag and bombast at this pe riod of our national crisis, should be eliminated, and every man settle down to the fact that we are up against serious proposition, and the sooner we get in and finish it, without useless words. the sooner the coun try will again enjoy the freedom which is rightly hers.

WHEY AND THE CIGARETTE.

The New York citizen who spanked his wife for smoking cigarettes at home has been sustained in his unu- sual course by the court. The judge, indeed, warmly commended the hus- bands discipline and advised him to do it again if necessary"
 The wife. however, has no intention of allowing the court to set up one standard of personal conduct for the man and other for the woman. A re porter for a New York newspaper called at her home and found the wife determined to assert her right to smoke cigarettes when and where sine felt like it. She stated she smoked two cigarettes a day and enjoyed them.
 Smoking per SC as the New York woman handle it. is not likely to have more serious effect than family trou- ble Probably both men and women would pe bette,' off physically if they knew not the flavor of tobacco smoke and then again they might not be. The prejudice against the use of tobacco by women is largely because the prac- tice was so long confined to dissolute worlen. The objection of the New York woman was on this score. But though it may be exceedingly bad taste for woman to get spanked for two cigarettes day, the spanked wife is standing on firm ground when she claims an equal right with her hus- band to inhale the punk sticks.-.EX.

SOMETHING YOU MAY KNOW.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: The "cold molasses'' effect in jelly is caused by too much boiling after sugar is added to fruit juice. Strain and measure your juice and return to stove; while it is boiling 10 or 15 minutes have the required amount or sugar in large shallow pan heating in oven. When both are ready pour hot sugar into boiling juice, stir until dis solved. At this point beware of the temptation to boil just little long er." Let bubble up once. skim and put at once in hot glasses. This way of jelly making preserves both color and delicate flavor. Some fine jelly mak- CTS dispense with any further boiling after sugar is added and dissolved.
 The dweIler in a small apartment who has no cool cellar in which to store perishable articles may find an outside window box useful in winter.
 A carpenter may be hired to con- Struct box that will exactly fit out side the kitchen window, if possible on way up the lower sash and contain two deep shelves. and when the sash is raised the contents of these shelves are easily accessible. In freezing wea- ther the sash may be left up, and thus the box becomes a part of the warm ed room.
 A short curtain will conceal it from the room. Such a box is a great con- venience.
 If you cannot afford to have one constructed, then use an ordinary light wood packing box: fit in a shelf and set it up on brackets just even with the sill of the window. The box should have a tight-fitte hinged lid.

GLEEFUL BELLS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I have just finished reading The Little Spin ster's letter of the New York Bells. and thought I would tell you how the bells of our town rang out good news.
 We have just finished a very strenu- ous no-Icense campaign which lasted up to a late hour the Sunday evening before election day.
 The saloonkeeperS secured a New Jersey Episcopalian minister to speak in the armory for them, advising men to vote for license to save great in- crease in taxes.
 The polls were kept open until O. clock, after which the voting machines were soon opened and when it became evident that no-icenSe had won the bells of twelve churches were set ring ing and the Salvation Army having no bell sent their band (the best $. A. band in the state). to head a parade. The w. c. T. U. have hired a small building which we term a relief sta tIon, which is to be kept open two af- ternoons a week with secondhand clothing for sale at a very reasonable price.
 During the recent campaign the windows of this building showed display of new clothing and shoes with placards telling how much could be purchased in a year with the price of three beers a day.

PRUDY'S GARDEN.

Dear Social Cornerites: I will tell you of the way I have used some of my spare time this summer and fan, which I have greatly enjoyed.
 now in a vacant place I have planted some hardy perennials. phlox and as- ters. which by covering will furnish nice little plants for transplanting in the spring to the hardy border.
 Earlier in the season in a specially prepared seed bed I planted hollyhock, carnation, larkspur, perennial peas, gaillardias, achillea, foxglove, canter- bury bells. franchetti, lupins. antir- rhum. salvia, azurea, stokesia, etc. their places in the border snd will be covered with leaves for winter.
 Have lately made another bed for other beautiful perennials had over penstemon, marshmallow. pyramidalis peach bells, columbine, dianthus lati- folfa and others. This will be my first experience with a cold frame over these little seedlings.
 I have also grown from seed gerani- ums. heliotrope. cannas. poinsettia. cotton, calceolaria and others, but of all the annua1s the most attractive are the variegated nasturtium, asters, sweet peas, stocks, cornucopia and salvia.
 Kitty Lou: The amaryl1is in foliage resembles the iris. It has broad flat leaf and has flower stalks two feet high which carry the magnificent trumpet shaped lilies; each stalk bears under simple conditions from three to six blooms and last a long time. have only the hardy kind. Hallii. which is rosy lilac with a yellow stripe.
 I would state the pot amaryllis, of which the most common is Johnsonii is dark scarlet with white stripes; vittata is beautifully striped, f1aked and feathered.
 This month I shall plant narcissus tulips and lilies;. the latter must be planted six to eight inches deep.
 With best wishes to you all.

M MEMORIEs.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner- At the recent opening of the public are apt to look back, to .those early days of ours, when for the first time, we too, began our school life. think these pictures of childhood are indel- ibly impressed upon our minds, not to be easily forgotten.
 Although the methods of instruction in our young days were not. as attrac- tive at the present time, yet we enjoyed it, and our interest increased as the months and years passed along. sunny side, for often we made our mistakes, and perhaps. were often r,isjudged by our teachers, which we endured with silence. yet they were valuable lessons to us, for later years.
 We like to recall, how we used to stand in line, and "toe the chalk mark" either for the reading lesson or the spelling class, and as we enum- crate in our mind, the list of our early schoolmates, we ask ourselves where are they all today?"
 'I believe it is even a pleasure for us to visit the old schoolhouse, and if the room with it's same desks and seats remain unchanged, we do like to see them.
 I repeat again. we the mothers, who have sent our children to school, and they having passed their days of ed- ucation, we think of them. as of our selves, the first morning they trudged off to school It is ever a pleasure to think how they come home eager to tell us, some little thing, the teacher had told them which was new to them; but only an old story, with its good moral, renewed to us.
 As we hear, in imagination. the lit- tie songs they learned to sing at school. and the little poems they re- peated with childish pride, we cherish them as sweet memories. {.
 Sad is the heart of mother today, she thinks of her. boy, not as he stood in school, nor the final day, when he received the diploma from high school, but as he stands with many others. in much longer line. all clad in the same uniform, in the service of his, country.
