THOUGHT THAT SAND SPRINGS
HAD BEEN POISONED TODAY

1t was reported this morning that
several German spies had poured poi
son in the spring at Sand Springs
pumping station. Considerable ex-
element was caused but the report
was nothing but gossip. Sand Springs
will probably be watched. however,
as it could be poisoned quite easily.

Mrs. F. C. Johnson received let
ter from her son, Arthur, who is
stationed at Ft Shafttr, Hawaiian
Islands. He enclosed a menu of the
Fourth of July dinner and was as
up-to-date as the menu in a hotel
here in America. The main amuse-
ment of the soldiers is listening to
the Hawaiian girls and boys play on
their instruments and sing peculiar
songs. The ukelele entertains them
the most as it reminds them of the

Jumpers Mind Is Relieved.


So to Jumper the Hare the color OF
his coat is a most important matter. IL
really is. So while wasting much
thought on ones clothes usually is both
wrong and foolish. IN jumpers case
there is some excuse. You see. 1t is this
way: Jumper cannot fight to protect
himself from his enemies: he has moth
ing to night with. So in order TO live
Jumper the Hare must do one OF two
things: he must keep out of sight OF
his enemies or he must trust TO his long
hind legs to take him out of reach.
Now, Jumper the Hare is of very
good size. He is big enough to be seen
at some distance, especially by such
keen eyes as those OF Reddy Fox and
Old Man Coyote and Hooty the Owl and
several others l might mention. Be
cause of this aud his inability TO fight.
Old Mother Nature has taken pity on
him and has helped him by furnishing
him with n coat which helps him remain
unseen most Of the time. In summer
il is q mixture of brown and gray that
so closely matches the color of the
ground and the dry brown leaves that
when Jumper ats perfectly stnl the
kecnest of eyes often fail to see him.
In winter that coat is as white as the
driven snow. and If yeu CHANGED to see
Jumper sitting motionless you would
surely take him for little mound. of
snow
But there Is n betweeu-times when

pecially for her. Among the notably
good models shown for women of gener-
GUS lines. those having a natural waist
length at the back graduated to form
pepium in front have been favorftes.
Long shawl collars or surplice fasten-
ings have been found excellent In the
development of blouses for '.stouts,' .
as these are lengthening lines. Elon-
gated vest effects also frequently help
to give length OF line to a blouse de-
veloped for a woman OF more than or
binary size.
Vivid colors and startling color COM
binations are notable features OF the
dressy bIouses shown this season, de-
signed for wear with suits. The most
daring color combinations have been
tried and generally with very happy
results.
