At the end of the fourth round be-

ana frankie Burns the Jerseyman had
long lead In points, for the reason
that the title holder was not making the
slightest effort in the matter of attack.
But for the fact that the spectators ve-
hemenuy protested, that the officials In
charge demanded some action on the
part OF the champion, and that the
referee warned him to box or take the
consequences, Kilbane would have daw-
died to the end of the eighth round and
Burns unofhcially would have been de.

FORGOT What He Needed.

From the Republican, Mt. Giliad,
Ohio: The editor had an interesting experience
some time ago, when young gentleman came
to this office and asked for copy Of the Morrow
County Republican. He scrutinized it care
fully when copy was handed him, and then
said: 'Now I know'' What is it you are
looking for we inquired. "My wife sent me
after bottle of Chamberlain Cough Remedy,
and forgot the name. l went to several stores
and the clerks named over everything in the
line on the shelf except Chamberlain s. I'll
try again, and I'll never go home without
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy" The Republi-
can would suggest to the proprietors OF stores,
that they post their clerks, and never let them
substitute. Customers lose faith in stores
where substituting is permitted, to say nothing
of the injustice to makers of good goods and the
disappointment of customers.

AMERICA NO PLACE
FOR THE PESSiMiST
Secretary of the Treasury Glass Says
These Should Be Days of Re-
joicing, of Confidence and
High Resolve.

"a thing difficult of understanding
Is the reactionary spirit which, in some
quarters, seems to have seized hold of
American business" declared Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Glass in re-
cent interview on the coming Victory
Liberty Loan. "It manifests itself in
q gloomy and pessimistic view Of the
future in no way justified by condi-
lions, present or discernible, and in
disposition to cavil at the further ex-
penditures the government is under the
necessity of making in order to liqui-
date the war"
Secretary Glass declared he saw no
reason whatever for dark foreboding.
On the contrary he was firm in the be-
lief that these should be days Of re-
jOicing, of confidence and high resolve.
"America is the least injured Of any
Of the nations which took active part
In the death grapple with autOcracy
on the soil of France and Flanders"
he continued. Except for the 10000
who gave up their lives and the thou
sands who are returning, manned or
wounded, the United States has made
no real sacrifice.
'Is the American spirit less cour-
ageous than the spirit of the French
or the Belgians? France, sorrOWing
but undaunted, has set about to re-
pair the wreck the ruthless invaders
wrought, and refuses to view the flu

when q greater nation will arise on the
ruins of the old. Shall America, then,

Of a burden which it should bear light
~, If felt at all?
1.-THE coming issue of government
bonds has been designated the Victory
Liberty Loan. 1t seems to me that it
might well be termed also the Thanks
giving Loan, for if people had cause
for Thanksgiving, we are that people.
"Those Americans who today are
among the carpers and quibblers are
not worthy of the name of Americans.
They are not worthy the boys they
sent forth to make, if need be, the SUI
preme sacrifice that liberty might live.
Snow that the coming Of peace has
restored their sons to them, will they
tighten up their purse strings and
adopt an attitude which seems to say,
The war is over; did my part while
the fighting was in progress, and now
let the government go hang | do not
think So believe that when the next
I9an is offered they will understand it's
necessity and will gladly meet it's re-
Quirements."

SAVES COST AND MATERIALS
Method of Making Illuminated Cum
stocks Has Been Developed at
Madison Laboratory.

Madison, VISA method of making
Illuminated gunstocks was developed at
the forest products laboratory here,
which would, without reducing the
strength, permit the use of the small
pieces of walnut not suitable for sin
gle piece stocks. This would facili-
tate production and result in appre-
cable saving in costs and material.
The application of laminated con-
struction to many articles of trade
is a development worthy Of close
study. Shoe lasts, billiard balls, sad
die trees, oars and paddles, tanks,
barrels and kegs, and various parts
Of vehicles and agricultural nipple
ments may possibly be constructed
with Illuminated wood.

LET US DO OUR SHARE
Pot the Finishing Touches to the Ger
man Dream of World Conquest-it
Takes Money to Hold the OBJ
sequies of Kaiserism.

Here is a good answer for the fell
low who says: 81 bought the bonds of
the previous loans, but why should l
save and buy more"
The answer is concerned with sick
ness and death. Fortunately, the dis
CONQUEST, and the funeral is that Of
the kaiser's ambitions.
Now, in the average American home,
where sickness and death befall, the
head of the family first pays for ply
Sipdans. medicines and nurses. But
when he has gone thus far, he does
not stop. He cannot. He must go on
ind call in the undertaken. He must
finish the sad business.
And so it is in the family of nations
We have been stricken with war-and
now we must pay for it. Happily, the
corpse, as has been said, is the Ger
man ambition. The United States and
our allies must pay for the funeral.
The first, second and third Liberty
loans brought together and trained the
army of physicians and nurses that
was to combat the disease. The fourth
loan transported them to the house of
sickness and carried them through to
the deathbed of Prussian autocracy.
But we still have to pay the last bills
Of imperialisms passing, and the lay
ing. away of that dread corpse has
been an unavoidable expense.
The man who says: u bought the
other bonds but I'll be darned if I'll
save now to buy more" is as illogical
as O father who would say: II paid
for The doctor and nurses and the
medicines, but I'll be darned if I'll
have q funeral"
Let us do our share in helping along
the obSequieS Of kaiserism. 1t will be
the best investment any of us can
make.

in the measurements of school lands

Barrett of this city, who has filed for
oil and gas leases On 1000 acres in the
Ranger and Burkburnett districts, it

Mr.. Barrett has arranged with a
development company of Oklahoma
City to take over the leases when they
are granted for the purpose of de-
veloping them.
When the surveys were made many
years ago rawhide tape lines were
used in measuring them and in wet
weather the line stretched with the
result that tracts described as con-
tanning $40 acres really contain as high
sometimes as 800 acres.

There are but two seasons-the
wet and the dry-at the equator in
Africa. The former (summer) lasts
eight months, with the thermometer
averaging from 40 to 125 degrees
Fahrenheit. During the dry or "cold"
season of four months the thermome-
ter stands at about 20 degrees. 1t e
then that the natives, who have been
hived in their bamboo huts so long
by the rain, desert their towns and
set out for the forests and jungles.

How chinaman Drinks Tea.

The Chinaman in preparing tea
places a pinch of leaves in a Chinese
teacup, which is without a handle,
pours boiling water over them and
places the cover on the cup. In
few seconds the tea is ready for drink
ing; the covered cup is raised to the
mouth, and, with the fingers of the
hand holding the cup, the lid is moved
just sufficiently to permit the liquid
to flow into the mouth as the cup is
tilted.

FLIGHT OVERSEE
IS Navy ORDER
Government Aviators Lay Plans
to Be First to Cross
in Air.
PLANES TESTED ON COAST
Picked Men and All Material Are
Being Chosen for Attempt at
Reconsideration Will Be
Ripe About June.

Washington-Navy aviation experts
are planning a flight across the At
lantic. Commander John 81. Towers
was ordered to take charge of "the
development of plans and assembly Of
material and personnel for the pro-
posed transatlantic flight"
Commander Towers has been in
charge Of the naval reserve flying
corps and is considered an expert of
the service in this branch.
Much attention has been given to
the project by the navy and recent
reports Of similar plans by the British
naval aviation service have lent great
impetus to the work on this side.
The navy department during the war
developed monster seaplane equipped
with three Liberty motors, giving it
about 1900 horsepower This machine
has as it's body a substantially built
boat and has carried as high as fifty
one persons in flights of considerable
length. 1t has been tested out along
the Atlantic coast with great success
within the last few weeks.
Land to Land Trip in 20 Hours.
When the project Of a transatlantic
flight was urged here by Major-Gen.
Brancker of the British air service
last year it was brought out that the
shortest distance would be from New
fOundland to the Irish coast. This
is approximately 1000 miles, and given
plane capable of sustained speed
of 100 miles an hour it could be made
in twenty hours. So, far as known,
however, no plane has yet been built
which could make the trip without
stopping for refueling.
The route most generally favored in
naval circles, however, is by way of
the Azores, with a stop at these
islands for fuel and oil. This would
make the first leg 1900 miles and the
final lap 700. Some officers favor a
halfway stop at sea to refuel from a
destroyer if it is considered impossible
to make the trip in a single flight.
In a general way it has been said
heretofore that the crew of any plane
attempting to cross the Atlantic would
be composed Of at least five men, two
pnots to provide relief at the levers,
two mechanics to care for the engines
and navigating officer to chart the
course.
Conditions Ripe About June.
AS to the weather it was said that
probably not before June would condi-
lions become stable enough to warrant
an attempt. Another quiet period oc-
ours in early fall. 1t is regarded as
doubtful that all preparations could be
made by the summer period, although
this is one Of the things Commander
Tower will have to determine by care,
full study.
While there is a good deal of friend
ly rivalry with the British govern
ment over making the first transatlan-
tic flight, it is said that either nation
could count upon the cooperation of
the other. AS the prevailing winds
are from west to east in the Atlantic
the chances favor an attempt from this
side.
