Pockets on the Decline.

Pockets have gone the downward
road prognosticated for them some
time ago. They still appear on frocks
Of muslin, silk or satin and in coats
and suits. Perhaps they are not quite
so usual as they were last autumn. but
for that very reason they are more eff
fective. And they are emphasized,
not merely placed with a quiet Idea
that they may be noticed or unnoticed.
as chance may direct. On some of the
new suits they are emphasized with a
band of fur at the top, and on some of
the silk frocks they are quite bagllke
in shape and size. OF course, the new
calico frocks have pockets, some or
them, but they are quite prim and fiat,
bound off, as BELTS calico pockets. with

WRITE LETTERS THAT CHEER
Why Epistles Written to Soldiers
Should Contain Maximum OF
News That Is Agreeable.

Do you give as good as you get?
Does your soldier boy fill his letters
with accounts of the disagreeable
things he is meeting, or does he cheer
fully ignore them and try to make you
believe that he Is having the best time
ever2 He knows that you can do moth
ing to change conditions as he finds
them, so, In his fine philosophy, why
pass the worrying on to you? Turn
the picture around and look at the
boys side of it, You will never know
the half of the things he endures; he
won't tell you now. and when he comes
back he will wave them aside as of no
importance. AS you can't help him. he
can't help you. A grumbling letter, or
one full of encouragement, Will only
make a soldier little less efficient In
his Job; you will still have the home
problems to tackle. The need Is not so
much for more letters, but for more
cheerful letters, is the word that comes
from the camps. "The mud-soaked old

ing vermin, rain and shell fire, CON

How Error Won Battle.

During the Afghan war of 1879 a
small British detachment gained u
victory over large body of the enc
my by mistaken order. A private
named Vance, who had distinguished
himself by several acts of bravery,
was a great favorite with one of the
officers, and during skirmish the Off
Ger wanted him to carry a dispatch to
the colonel in command of another de-
tachment. The man was only few
yards away, and he called out,
"Vance !" at the top of his voice. The
men thought he had given the order

forward with such dash and spirit that
the enemy broke and fled.

COOPERATION Is WHAT IT
TAKES TO BUILD ROADS

The county commissioners of Quay
County are facing the necessity of
building and maintaining roads to
meet the existing urgent demand for
adequate transportation facilities, and
doing this work with limited funds.
The growth of highway Interest is
shown by the change from town mat
ter to county, then to state, and now
to federal interest in the problem.
Continuous and permanent results
can be obtained only by complete CO.
operation on the part of every official
and organization and individual inter
ested in better highways.
The only way we shall ever secure
a proper road system will be by a
comprehensive nationwide system of
road building. For this centralized
Federal Bureau is necessary, to block
out the location and standardZe the
details of construction, with the view
of national usefulness, both military
and economic.
The only thing that can possibly ho
permanent about n road is its location
So get that right, and remember that
a straight line is the shortest distance
between two points.
To carry this work to its best Go-
velopment the public mus h. kept IN
touch with the plans, so that everyone
may be able to see and understand
just what is being done; what come
tion the road in front of his place has
with the general scheme.
1t is cooperation in the road work
which in time will give those who live
at distance from the trunk highway
good route to the trunk line, just a.
the branch railroad carries US and
our freight 80 the main line for the
long haul.
All that we of this age have, and all
that we are, is the result Of co-opera-
tion and the division of labor amongst
specialists.
1t is the same with good highway
progress. The work must be planned
and the instructions carried out by
those who are qualified by study and
experience for the work.

IVA WALK Err DEAD

The following clipping was taken
from an Okmulgee paper. 1t gives
an account of the dead of Miss Iva
Walker, formerly of this place. Mr..
and Mrs. l.. r. Walker of Tucumcari,
were present at the funeral.
"The funeral services for Iva Sus-
anna Walker. the beautiful l5-year-
old daughter Of Mrs. Walker, were
held from the family residence, 6l5
North Collins, at 5 o'clock on Sunday
afternoon. DR.. +. +. Gordon, pastor
of the First NJ, +. church, conducted
the service.
Miss Iva has been with sister at
Wellsvlle, Kas., for some months at
tending school and came home about
two weeks ago. She had an acute at
tack of pneumonia and was i'll only n
few days.
"The mother has the sincere sym
pathy of their host of friends, for it
was six months 10 day since an
other daughter was called home. And
a son is here for few days with the
family before he goes to answer his
countrys call"

clue for two days. 1t is rough coun-
try. The next the pursuers learned
was from "a ranchman in whose barn
the fugitive stayed till dark the day
before. That was 10 miles east of
Grady. n. NJ. That Saturday night
they ran up on him II miles west. As
they approached the horse he showed
fight and several shots were exchang-
ed but he got away.
Becoming bolder the trief had ask =
ed of woman from whom he secured
breakfast. where he could find II man
with an automobile, that "he would
make the man take him out of the
country" Scenting some trouble the
woman phoned the man with the auto
who had heard something already. Ac-
cordingly when the fugitive arrived
his supposed chauffeur was awaiting
his coming and prevailed upon him to
"stay awhile"
1t was here, west of Curry. n. NJ,
that Halliburton and Ritterspach bag
ged their game, and started homeward
with the man they had gone after.
The horse was slightly lame but not
injured He was left to rest up. The
saddle, gun and belt were taken back
to Jerks ranch and exchanged there
for the Ritterspach saddle.
Sheriff Halliburton left Tucumcari
about 3 o'clock Monday evening and
arrived in Vega with his prisoner at
about midnight
The prisoner gave his name as Brad
ford Sawyer, of Shawnee. Okla, and
says he is 80 years of age. However,
he has a registration card with that
name on and looks much younger,
A detective of the Rock Island road
was here Tuesday and has promised
to look up his registration claims in
Brown, Okla, where he purports to
have registered.
The brass well cylinder was found
by section men on the railroads right
of way and the crate it came in was
found behind the Mcdonald garage and
blacksmith shop.
Sawyer is in the Oldham county
Jail, there to stay till August unless n
special session of court gives an ear
lier opportunity for trial.

DID DYNAMITE CAUSE EXPLO-

have been responsible for the eXplo-

No. 1915 which several days ago was
responsible for the death of engineer
Bert Tracy of this city, and fireman
