PASSES AS OFFICER;
LANDS IN FEDERAL
JUG FOR HIS PAINS

Tt must have been Abe Lincoln who
was credited with saying something
about it being comparatively cinch
to fool some of the people all the
time but that the sticking of all the
people all the time was decidedly a
horse of another color
Tim Tom Dodgin of Rush Springs
can now vouch for the truth OF that
statement He was taken yesterday
to the federal Jail at Muskogee for
attempting to disproye the statement
of Mr.. Lincoln. For his pains he was
picked up on the streets of Chickasha
by jim Dillon, deputy u s. marshal
and escorted before U. S. Commits
sioner Speake, where he entered a
plea OF guilty to q charge Of posing
as United States marshal.
Witness stated that on several oc-
customs he had affirmed that he was
deputy T. S. marshal and had gone
so far as to show his commission
as well as his authority, the latter
being in the form of Forty-some-
odd Of the Colt family When ar
rested he was minus the Howitzer
having deposited it for safe keeping
in a local restaurant. When search
ed, his mars ais commission proved
to be a discharge from the army.
Dodgin claimed TO federal officers
that when he made the rash state
ments about being an officer, he was
tu!l Of dope.

OKLAHOMA FALLS
SHORT IN QUOTA
OF COAL OUTPUT

Ada, okla oct 12.-Oklahoma is
falling behind in its quota OF in
creased coal production, according
to the figures in the office of P. A..
Norris, State Fuel Administrator. The
operators and miners are bringing to
the surface Of the earth approx
mately $4,000 tons of coal more each
month than they did last year. The
authorities at Washington, however,
say that Oklahoma should produce
more than 100000 tons more each
month
This fact means that more wood
must be substituted for coal than had
at first been estimated Oklahoma
citizens in timbered sections can
relieve the situation by cutting and
burning wood. To burn coal when
wood is available seems failure to
conserve as one should.
Discarded ties, telegraph poles and
bridge timbers along the right-of-
way of railroads should be utilized
as fuel. Before taking these, how.
ever, one should confer with the rail
road officials,

With the American Army in France
Sept 20.-(By mail) Little Marie
Yvonne, the rest of whose name no
one seems to know, will live and
will not be entirely crippled all her
life. An American ambulance unit
is happier, since the doctors gave
out the report.
Marie Yvonne liven in little
town north of Chateau-Thierry dur
ing the six weeks the boches held
the place. The 5-yearold tot was
forced to remain behind with her
aged grandfather and grandmother
The mother is dead, and the old
folks were too feeble to flee.
They lived in a cave practically
every minute Of that six weeks, go
ing out only when necessary, for the
townl was near the line The Ger
mans told them to stay in the cave,
for they would see too much other
wise, The old folks and the child
were able to live only by using
boarded food sparingly. and by de-
nying they had anything to eat when
the Germans came to take it. The
grandfather would totter out. des-
pte shells, and bring back vegeta-
hlpc from oardanc
Finally the Americans took the
town, and little Marie Yvonne was
happy to go out into the sunshine
again. The doughboys gave her and
the grandparents white bread and
canned meat, and they all ate as
though famished
Then Marie Yvonne, playing in
her own house, found a German po-
tato masher grenade, She picked
it up to show it to grandfather, and
wire fastened to it pulled the pin
that kept the trap from exploding.
Marie Yvonne was blown across the
room wounded in several places. but
most seriously in the hand which
picked up the grenade
The Americans hurriedly gave Ma
rie Yyonne first aid treatment and
rushed her to Chateau-Thierry hos
pital where doctors operated She
is getting better now, and the Amer
leans who have watched her are
glad. Their opinion of Germans is
unchanged

NEW WOLF
GUARD FOR
CAPITOLINE
BY Henry Wood

BY Henry Wood
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Rome, Aug. 2o-(By Mail)-Rome
has new wolf
news for the rest of the world, but
This may not be very important
it is Of supreme importance for
Rome
Eyer since being disposed she
wolf nursed Remus and Romulus,
thereby making possible the found
ing OF Rome, the birth Of Italy,
making It possible for Dante to
write the Inferno, Verdi to compose
In Troyatore, Marconi to discover
tile wireless and Caruso to sing at
the Metropolitan, Rome has always
had wolf. in a cage on the pre-
else spot on the Capitoline hili
where the original wolf gave the
present kingdom of Italy its start.
1t is Of course unnecessary to point
out that with the proyerbial sense
for the eternal fitness of things
which the Italians have this is al.
ways a she-wolf 1t would be regard
ed as little less than sacrelige to
maintain on the Capitoline hill a
gentleman-wolf in recognition Of the
great services rendered Rome by
lady-wolf.
Ever since the original declaration
of war back in 1914 Rome weather
has been completely Off Atmospher-
ic changes said to be caused by the
heavy cannonadiQg along the various
battle fronts have caused it to be
cold in Rome when it should be hot
and hot when it should be cold or
often both at the same time.
The she-wolf of the Capitoline hill
accordingly developed case Of
pneumonia during one Of these sud
den changes of temperature, and died
premature death
But now the city Of laramie in
the southern part of Italy has pre-
sented Rome with a new she-wolf
The latter had been duly installed
in the cage on The Capitoline hill,
and has put in most Of her time
since then trying to eat the iron
bars that cage her in. When she
she isn't doiig mat she is showing
her teeth to onlookers in manner
that leaves no doubt thit if she
would not try to nurse the Roman
population through the present food
shortage but would take bite out
of its legs instead
HOPES are entertained by guar
dians Of the Capitoline hill that by
the time the war ends ana Ameri-
can tourists again come to Rome,
the wolf will have taken on some
of the dignity which her historic
position seems to call for.
