BARTLESVILLE, March 81.
When J. NJ. Walker. a farmer OF
near Ramona. Okla, came to
town this morning and drove to
the Caney river. below the dam
on East Cherokee street, he
saw sight that almost par
alyzed him and caused him to
suspect that something was
wrong with the bone dry pro-
hibition law. In shallow pool
below the dam he saw what was
at first believed to be large
fish, but on closer inspection he
found four live alligators churn-
ing the water in an effort to es-
cape. With the neckyoke from
the wagon he cautiously ap-
preached the place.
IL didn't care to mix with all
four" said Walker, but when
three had made their escape, l
pounced on the other and fin
ished him with a blow on the
head"
The alligator measured four
feet one inch, weighed one hun
dred pounds and could easily
have snapped n child's leg or
arm off at one bite.

was a dish of potato parings, but
how changed from what one would
expect from the mere mention of
them!
you know how good the crisp. hot
skin of a baked potato is? Well,
these were even better. The cook
had scrubbed the potatoes so thor
oughly that the outside was as clean
as the insidei then she had peeled
them, just as usual, neither thicker
nor thinner. She put the Feelings
aside in d bowl of cold water. until
just before mealtime; then she took
them out, drained them off and drop
ped them into a kettle of deep. hot
fat on the fire. She cooked them
just as you do French fried potatoes
or potato chips, and the skin added
a delicious flavor. 1 thought you
