DEPUTY SHERIFF in TOLLS
Newly Appointed official Accused of
Aiding In Liquor Shipments

CoLLGNSNlLLE. Okla. May 6. -
The arrest of Charley Marshall, dep
uty sheriff Of Rogers county, by fed
eral officers near Nowata last night
for being implicated in hauling liquor
TO Collinsvillc, has confirmed the
opinion of the city authorities, who
have been rather suspicious of Sher-
iff j. w. Green's newly appointed
deputy Marshall was appointed to
his present office about n month ago
and since that time he has aided in
capturing cars OF liquor that were be
ing taken to other cities by out of
town peddlcrs. The city commission
ers have considered II strange that
while the federal officers and deputy
sheriff located in Collinsville have
been so successful in capturing men
carrying the stuff to Tulsa and othe,
cities. the booze haulers of Collins
Vile have been reaping a big harvest

LIVED AN ADVENTUROUS LIFE
Captain seIous Completely Happy
When He Was Entirely Out Of
Touch With Civilization.

The remarkable career of the late
Captain Selous, D. s. o., the famous
hunter and explorer, who at the age
of sixty-fve died fighting for his
country, fills every schoolboy with q
longing desire for adventure.
He was only twenty years Of age
when he went to Matabeleland, in
days when railways were unknown
there, and when the interior of the
country was a sealed book to the
European. For years he was in un-
known countries, hunting elephants,
lions and other animals, and at one
period he was nearly three years
without seeing a newspaper, tele-
gram, or any kind Of money. Yet
he was perfectly happy. He spent
nearly a quarter Of century Of his
life penetrating the interior of
South Africa. Then he went to Alas
ka on a 15,000-mile tour in search
of moose and caribou.
1t is not generally known that he
was the original Of the daring,
shrewd, dryly humorous Allan Qua
termain of Rider Haggard's famous
novel, "King Solomon's Mines"

PUNISHMENT TO FIT CRIME
OIdtlme Citizens Of London Seem to
Have Been Blessed With q Keen
Sense of Humor.

In the city of London records Of
1864 it is stated that a certain John
Penrose, a taverner, was convicted
Of "selling unsound and unwhole-
some wines to the deceit Of the CON-
mon people, to the contempt of the
king, to the shameful disgrace Of the
officers Of the city, and to the griev-
GUS damage Of the community" His
sentence was to be imprisoned for a
year and a day, to drink draught
of the bad wine, to have the rest
poured over his head, and to for
swear the calling Of winter in the
city of London for ever.
Our ancestors had a fine sense Of
making the punishment fit the
crime. A man who surreptitiously
tapped q London water conduit in
1478 was set on horse with a vessel
like q conduit on his head. Out Of
the vessel, which was constantly re-
plenished with water, ran a number
Of small pipes. These played merrily
upon the offender as he was led
round to the nine conduits of the
city, where his crime was publicly

HUGE SEARcHLlGHT.

AT the time of the disastrous fire,
which ruined the Edison electrical
plant at East Orange, N, j., the
salvers were unable to find the jars
containing diamond points used with
the disk phonograph. Since this loss
of several thousand dollars worth of
points might have been prevented,
had the searchers been provided with
powerful enough lights, the inventor
at once turned his attention toward
making such searchlight. When
turned upon the side Of building at
night, the result is a glare equal to
that seen at MONDAY. The light will
be invaluable in fire-fighting, doing
night track-construction work, il
Eliminating mines in emergencies,
and in coast ife-saving work. The
searchlight is somewhat Of heavy
weight, and must be hauled on q
truck by two men.

FAMOUS SCOTCH JOURNAL.

The Edinburgh Scotsman, which
was founded in 1917, celebrated its
one hundredth anniversary on the
25th Of January. A remarkable fact
in connection with the Scotsman is
that on its business side the paper
has been through all its century Of
activity under the control of two
men, the younger of whom was close
ly associated for 13 years with the
elder, and is still in active super
vision of its affairs. On the editorial
side its direction has been in the
hands Of only four men. The Scots
man was founded as a weekly and
became daily in 1855. Its motto
from the beginning may be said to
have been Liberty and Moderation"

HAILED AS LAST OF HIS KIND
Work Of buffalo Bill" as interpreter
Of West to East Not Likely to
Be Continued.

For years "Buffalo Bill" was the
Interpreter through whom the East
came to understand the region be-
yond the Mississippi. His fame and
his character were revelation which
helped the older portion Of the coun-
try to understand the problem in-
volved in bringing the West into full
membership in the task Of working
out the nations destiny.
The work of Cody was a work
which neither statesman nor soldier
could have done adequately. In a
sense, Cody was both statesman and
soldier; in every sense he was a high
ly useful American. The generation
that witnessed his exploits can have
but small appreciation Of the lasting
service he performed in helping to
weld America into one nation Of har-
mony and understanding.
Cody was the last Of his kind. He
has no successor. The exploits that
made him famous cannot be dupli-
Gated; the work he did is a lasting
service that cannot be duplicated.
Around his memory are gathered
some of the best traditions of the ma
ton, and every American with pride
of race in his heart mourns at his
grave.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Canning Without Sugar.

Sugar frequently scars to a
price too high to use at canning
time. Canning without sugar is
merely a matter of adding boil
ing water instead of sirup and
finishing in the usual manner.
The process is urged and highly
recommended by State College.
Fruit should be graded for size
and ripeness. Clean by placing
in a strainer and pouring boiling
water over it; pack carefully in
jars and add boiling water to fill
the jars, put on rubbers and cov-
er jars lightly. The jars should
then be placed in a wash boiler
with false bottom, or similar
container, and sterilized thirty
minutes, counting the time
from the moment the water in
the boiler begins to boil. After
sterlizing jars should be removed
and sealed.
Extension Circulars a. and 62,
of the Pennsylvania State Col
lege, contain complete informa-
ton on canning.

USES OF WOOD PRODUCTS
General Public Not Thoroughly Famll.
lar With the Variety Of Ways In
Which II 10 Employed.

There is a far greater variety Of
uses for wood products than the pub
lie realizes, and at the present time
the discovery Of new and interesting
applications is progressing rapidly,
through the efforts Of Investigators,
many of whom are employed by our
government. Powder for munitions
or blasting, disinfectants for protec-
ton against disease and artificial silk
for clothing are among the products
obtained from wood in whole or in
part, says Popular Mechanics Maga-
zine. The acetone used as a solvent
in making nitrocellulose powders is
derived from nitric acid, a product
of hardwood distillation. Black wal
nut is so much in demand for gun
stocks that other woods, especially
birch, are being substituted. 1t is
stated on good authority that in Eu-
rope there is a shortage Of willow
for making wooden legs. The forest
products laboratory at Madison has
conducted extensive experiments in
the production Of grain, or ethyl,
alcohol from wood, and has had
some success in raising the yield and
lowering the cost Of production. If
this process can be put on CONNER
cial basis, it will make available for
profitable use millions Of tons Of
sawdust now wasted.
