DEATH OF o. L. COOK

On Friday, October 4th, while at
tending the Fair at Hays, O. L. Cook
of this city, died very suddenly at the
plexy at about six o'clock in the even
ing. Mr.. Cook went down to drive his
mare in the races and after driving
in one or two heats complained Of
feeling i'll and laid down in tent
near the racing stables to rest. A
few friends tried to relieve him but
he died before medical assistance
could be summoned. The body was
prepared for burial and undertaken
S. j. Straw brought it to Wa-Keeney
in the hearse, and took it to the un-
dertaking parlors where it lay until
word could be received from relatives.
Word from his sister in West
Unity, Ohio, instructed that the body
be sent to that city for interment.
The body was shipped last Sunday
evening.
o. L. Cook was among Trego
County's pioneer residents having
lived in this county over thirty years.
.
ago and he is survived by one son,
George, whose address could not be
learned. Mr.. Cook served in the
state legislature in 1914. He was al
ways a lover of horses and was en-
gagged in the livery business a large
share of the time.
With the passing of Mr.. Cook one
OF the community's unique characters
is no more and many people will
hold kindly memories of kindly deeds
done by man who possessed a large
number of friends and enemies as
well but in the great final reckoning
there is a Judge who will pass SEN
tence and His judgment will be found
to be impartial and righteous separ-
ating true worth from error and
weakness Of the flesh

NOTICE TO OUR
SUBSCRIBERS

Your Uncle Sam says to all Weekly
Newspapers: "No publisher may con-
tinue subscriptions after three months
after date of expiration, unless sub
scriptions are renewed"
Every subscriber should send in
their subscriptions at once or call and
square up and pay in adavnce. All
newspapers will be on the paid-up
basis by the first of November. There
is no other way out of it. The gov
ernment says so and the publisher is
required to make a sworn statement
on November 1st. We are going to
send out statements this month to all
those in arrears, and if they do not
pay up by November 1st, the paper
will be discontinued and the account
placed in the hands of a collection
agency.
If you want to read the World you
will have to pay in advance as that
is the only way a newspaper can sue
.ceed as his subscription list is the one
thing that has to be accounted for
Many publishers in the past were
too lax with their subscribers and
many would take a paper and leave
the country and forget to pay. That
day is past and the fellow who wants
to read the World must pay for it.

RED CROSS NOTES

Red cross headquarters has sent
out Order No. a, asking for the collec-
ton of tin. This matter is the spec
ial business of the conservation con-
mittee, but every teacher in the
county is hereby appointed to help,
and is urged to enlist all their pupils
in the work.
First, let it be noticed that this has
no reference to old tin cans, or old
tinware of any kind. The kind of tin
wanted is different and may be OBJ
tanned from three sources. First, foils
of any kind; tobacco foil, cigarette
foil, chewing gun foil, chocolate foil
and foil used by florists are some of
the kinds of foil wanted. Second col
lapsible tubes; such tubes as have
been used as containers for tooth
paste, shaving cream, salve, paints,
pigments, ointments, etc. Third pew
ter articles. The government is need
ing or may soon need this tin and it
is patriotic duty to collect and save
it. 1t should be turned in to Red Cross
headquarters in Wa-Keeney where it
will be received and cared for every
Saturday afternoon. There is no time
limit on this collection and it should
be continued until further notice.

SPANISH INFLUENZA
PRECAUTIONS

keep in mind that like most
contagious diseases influenza is
spread by contact, that is, by the
transfer of the poison from one per-
son to another. 1t is spread by sneez-
ing, coughing and splitting at which
times the discharges from the nose
and throat are scattered in the air.
2-Avoid crowds as much as pos
sible, including moving picture places,
theaters and other assembly halls.
When feasible avoid crowded street
cars.
When sneezing or coughing, place
your handkerchief before your nose
and mouth.
Make sure that you are proper
ly clothed, in accordance with the
varying changes in temperature, pre-
valent at this time of the year.
5-Fresh air is always good. Keep
your bed room windows wide open,
and secure as much sleep as possi-
ble
6LKeep the digestive organs in
good condition
Drink water freely.
S-Avoid common drinking cups,
common towels and similar uten-
sis.
9-Wash your hands frequently.
10-Use a mild antiseptic as nose
spray or as a gargle, especially if
your throat is sore or there is ten
dency to sneezing.
11-If you have "cold' use
utensils for your personal use ex-
clusively, or if you are in contact
with one so affected be careful not
to handle utensils used by them.
12-Consult family physician at
first onset of symptoms suggestive of
influenza
13-Spread this information as
much as possible in newspapers, NOV
ing picture shows, school houses,
churches, etc.

the clutch.

the clutch.
Sheriff Frank Ray made a care
full examination of the conditions and
formulated this theory of the acc
dent. For some cause the tractor was
stopped while making the third round
some time in the afternoon. With the
oil can in his left hand Mr.. Wetzel
reached around in front of the fly
wheel with his right hand to turn
tice his left hand coming in such
close contact with the fly wheel
clutch. A projection on the clutch
caught his coat sleeve and threw the
oil can some fifteen feet from the
engine. The fly wheel at work trav-
els 800 revolutions per minute. Run
ming idle it was probably travelling
900 revolutions or ten revolutions
per second. When the arm caught it
was not a sudden winding of the
clothes but a swinging motion the
arm travelling around circle of some
twelve or fourteen inches in diaemter
At such a speed and travelling around
the body was given terrific jerk
and started to swing full length sus-
pended by the arm and clothing.
There were strong indications that in
the swing the feet struck the gro,I ID
beneath several times. With a coat,
a pair of bib overalls, a pair of pants
and a shirt completely stripped from
the body the arm gave way and the
body with shoes and stockings and a
suit of short sleeve underclothes ws.s
cast aside The arm bound by the
clothing continued to travel around
possible for hours as some four OF
five inches were whipped away The
engine continued its gruesome Jour
ney until it exhausted the lubrica ting
