SET OF RESOLUTIONS

AT the regular meeting of the Bal
Park Council of Defense Sunday af
ternoon at the Gilbert school house
the following resolutions were Offered
by w, j. Smedley and adopted by
the council:
Whereas, In this county there was
recently called a grand jury to in
quire into crime, and
Whereas, Such Grand Jury found
one Oscar Simpson, then county at
torney, guilty of the most heinous
crimes, that Of accepting money as
bribcs from the very lowest crilni-
mails, such as gamblers. bootleggers,
prostitutes and others, and that he,
Oscar Simpson, had dismissed from
the criminal docket criminal cas- IS
'or money, and
Whereas, All OF these criminals
and many others swore on their
oaths that they had given Simpson
money per agreement and that Sfmp-
soa had accepted the same as per
agreement for allowing these crimes
to be run openly end publicly and
for their protection, and that these
bribes amounted to many thousands
of dollars. and
Whereas, Evidence was sufficient
TO convict any man or body Of men,
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved. That
we, the Ball Park Precinct Council
of Defense in Meridian School Dis
trict assembled, condemn the action
Of the dismissal Of this case and it
is our further belief that the per-
son or persons that are responsible
for this dismissal are not only inef-
'icient officers, but very poor citi-
iens."
A motion was made and carried
asking that a copy Of these resolu-
ions be sent to the Chickasha Ex-

GEORGE sTALLINGs.

NEW YORK.-Twenty-siX odd
years ago George Stallings. the stern
commander OF the Boston Braves,
started his career as a manager
His first manaserial contract was
signed with the san Jose. Cal, club
and he made good from the start
That was away back in 1892. and
since that time his experience in
baseball has been varied. and he has
developed some great teams.
After leaving the San Jose club
Stallings managed clubs at Augusta
and Nashville, in the South Atlantic
league and Southern association. In
1896 he became manaser of Detroit
and the next year signed to pilot the
Phillies, remaining in QuakertOwn
two years. The next year he went
back to the Detroit club, where he
stuck until 1902, when he siSned
TO manage the Yankees. Since that
time he has managed Buffalo and
Newark, in the old Eastern league
and his regime with the Braves dates
back TO 1913.
If the miracle man of Boston new
er wins another pennant, he will re-
main a commanding figure in the
national game. He is a veteran
among veteran managers. and he
has a record Of which he may well
be proud. His achievement of 1914.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tabiets-the sub

Why cure the liver at the expense Of the
teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc
with the gums. Sodo strong liquids. 1t
is best not to take calomel, but to let DR..

worlds championship is the high
water mark of his career
There has been many a yarn writ

there is another feature about him
which is not generally known-the
fact that he is superStitiOus. A cross

are bad luck" to Stallings. But
most peculiar of all is his aversion
TO having birds light on the roof of
the Braves dugout. He sees defeat
staring him in the face any time this
happens.
Stallings is getting close TO fifty
years of age, but he is the kind of
a man who wears we'll. BY nature he
is highly aggressive, though not in
the way of McGraw or Jennings. OFF

and retiring chap who thinks a lot

Stallings was never star of ma

got his start in semi-pro and col

about three inches apart in the
rows The parsnips requires very
rich soil for its best development.
The roots are sually left in the
ground during the winter and dug
as needed. but may be harvested in
the autumn, packed in moist sand
and stored in pits or root cellars.
Most people consider this root i'm
proved by freezing. so as a rule it
is left in the ground as suggested

PARSLEY.
The seeds of parsley should be
soaked for a few hours before

They are slow in terminating and
should be handled very carefully.

they should be set IN the open
