TWO YOUTHS EACH DRAW
FIVE YEARS IN PRISON
Appear Diffidcnt When Sapulpa Judge
Passes Sentence Upon
Them.
World Creek County Bureau.


SAPULPA. Okla. Feb. Charlie
Fletcher and Babe" DOwner. youths
scarcely out of their teens, were
brought down from the Creek county
Jail this morning before District Judge
r.. Il. Hughes and received sentences
of five years each at hard labor In the
state pententiary.
Fletcher pleaded guilty several days
ago to robbing the Willls-Creegan
hardware store, while Downer pleaded
guilty to a charge o conjoint robbery.
Judge Hughes arraigned the youths
bitterly for their careers of crime but
neither gave any sign that they knew
he was speaking to them.
Passing of sentence on the two
prisoners brought the number of
those who have pleaded guilty since
the opening of the criminal term last
Monday up to seven. OF the three
trials in which the defendants were
all negroes. two charged with murder
and grand larceny, were acquitted,
while the jury was unable to agree
in the case OF another charged with
stealing two sacks of flour from a
Bristow store, after deliberating for
seven hours.
The state, so far. has been unable
to procure conviction where the
defendant went to trial. This Is said
to be due to the lack of evidence and
records found in the county attorneys
office when Earl Foster took office
n month ago. 1t is expected the Grim
inal term will be completed by tho
end of the week.

FRITZ KREISLER IS

Omniverous Reader and Stu

One of the most interesting fea-

Is his remarkable versatility. Harold

violin as his instrument. 1t is well
known in Austria that very smart
and talented officer was lost to the
Austrian army when Kreisler, hav-
ing gained his commission. decided
to go back to music. kresler's
father, a famous physician and sur
geon of Vienna. urged his son to
take music seriously as a career, but
at the same time he has always
been convinced that Fritz had un-
usual promise i'm medicine. AS a
matter of fact, Fritz spent a year
studying medicine during his period
of storm and stress when after
astonishing the world as n prodigy,
he became uncertain whether he
wanted to continue as musician
Finally. altho he does not talk about
II much, he once had a distinct am
btion to become painter and when
he was In Paris studying with Mas
Sart ne WAS also working at Ju-
liens the most famous atelier of its
time. There are in this country sew
cral well-known artists who knew
him at this period and while they
are not sure that Kreisler would
have become as great n painter as
he is musician. they remember
him as youth of much more than

BEES NEED PROTECTION
ON TENNESSEE FARMS
Government Has Found That Hives
We'll lnsulated Give Best Results
in Every Case.

(By C, e. Bartholomew, Division OF
Extension, University of Tennes.
see, Knoxyilie)
Tennessee in 1909 was third in the
number of colonies of bees among all
OF the states in the union. She does
nor hold that record now. Her col.
onies have been destroyed, partly by
that dreaded disease, foul brood, and
partly because the colonies have not
been protected from the Tennessee
winters.
On this subject of insulation the
chief of the bureau OF entomology OF
the United States Department OF Ag,
riculture has said some things that are
worth the attention Of every Tennes
see farmer
Beekeepers have repeatedly claimed
that excessive. insulation is even more
detrimental in winter than insufficient
insulation, because of the failure df
the colony to warm up on bright days
TIC test this theory, colony was pack,
ed, in the fall of 1915, VITA 16 incheg
of sawdust on all sides, top, and bot.
tom. Temperature records were made
at frequent intervals every day
throughout the winter and spring. The
colony remained in excellent condition
in every respect throughout the win
ter. being little affected by high winds,
az after brood roaring began it built
up jth great rapidly Then 70 cen.
tir1e observation on tho effect of in.
su ion Oh the building M OF tie col.
ony, the packing was allowed to re.
main ell summer. Except for the in.
possibility of manipulating the colony,
1t romained ii excellent condition. Il
seems clear, therefore, that beekeepera
need not fear any detrimental result
from abundant insulation.

The Supreme Court of the
United States Monday rendered
an opinion on the legality of the
Webb Kenyon law passed by con-
gress in 1913. This was an act
to forbid transportation compa-
MES to carry any liquor into dry
states or territories. The act has
been in allegiance pending the
decision by the highest tribunal.
The court by majority of 7 to 2,
decided the law constitutional,
and gave strong reasons for its
legality. This coupled with the
state enactments, closes out any
shipment by carriers of intoxicat-
ing liquors from awet to a dry
state for sale or personal use. 1t
is the death knell to the liquor
business in Tennessee, as we'll as
all other dry states. There is but
one more final step, and that is
now assured, that its manufact-
ure will be prohibited by a con-
stitutional amendment. We
prophesy that in five years total
prohibition as to it's manufacture
will obtain the world over. The
war has doomed whisky manu-
facture in Russia and France,
just now it is about to be doomed
in England. With the great gov
ernment of the United States
taking the forward step when
peace is made, all the warning
powers will see the wisdom of
prohibition as an aid to their re-
habilitation. Humanity's eyes
are now open to the fact that the
curse greater than pestilence or
war to the human family is the
use of alcoholic drinks.
