BET ORE FOUND

J. d. Moran, Brawley citizen, took
his life last Monday evening by swat
lowing potassium cyanide at Brawley.
His body was not found until yester-
day morning, when he had failed to
appear for work for three days and
friends went to his home to look for
dim. He was in bed, the body being
in an excellent state of preservation.
, Coroner F. w. Peterson stated that
the man had swallowed so much of
the deadly poison that it had tended
to preserve his body
Moran has been living alone, and
the reason for the act is understood
to have been trouble with his wife.
The couple were not living together.
He left letter on the dresser. writ

FRED A. CHAPMAN IS

Fred A. Chapman is devoting much

Johnson county along the Washita
river.
Last year when the government was
urging farmers to raise food, he plant

year was dry and the insects were bad
and he did not harvest any crop but
he at least made the effort which his
government called upon him to make
Mr.. Chapman is draining and re-
claiming a large acreage that has
largely gone to waste heretofore, and
has produced fine crops this year on
the land that he has reclaimed. Char

drainage bitches.
But the best report is yet to come
Mr. Chapman is building better homes
and better barns than those lands have
ever had before. The living conditions
are being made as nearly perfect as
possible. He is taking care of the peo-
pie who occupy his lands.'
At one point he has a sulphur well,
located on a high point, and this water,
by means of pipes. is conveyed TO his
silos and to different points on his
farm.
Mr.. Chapman has made success
of the oil business, and while he is still
in the game, he is not making any at

but takes time to develop other mer.tor-
ious projects and to develop some Of

plentiful and there will be less food
than Europe would like, but there
will be available for the uses of
peace ar enormous quantity of coal
which has been burned by engines of
war. and many acres and many
hands which have been absorbed in
war work will produce, even at first,
some measure of additional food.
The transportation which has carried
munitions and supplies to the armies,
and at the same time served the civil

We have heard a great deal of the
wastage of war and it has been be-

ever present and uncalled for that
we have sometimes forgotten that
there is a wastage of peace, and that
much of that wastage has been saved
during the war period. Europe has
frightened it's belt, has patched its
clothing and has gone without many
luXuries and comforts which seemed
essential before the war. These
economies have not offset the waste
of war, but that part of the energy
which was formerly engaged in pro-
ducing unnecessary luxuries could be
transferred to the production of
munitions without materially chang

vastly more than this amount. Much
of this will go in the higher cost o.

labor of England is made more pros
porous, they will consume great
Quantities Of manufactured articles
which have heretofore been forced
to find a market in foreign lands,
because the labor of England was so
poorly paid as to be unable to buy,
in so large n measure as should be
the case, the products uf their own
workshops. One Of the reasons for
the great buying power OF the Amer
lean people has been the fact that
our labor has been paid sufficient
wages to enable it to purchase more
than the necessities of ,life. AS an
illustration, am told that one per-
son in five in America owns an
automobile, and in England one per-
son in five hundred. AS basis for
deductions this argument cannot or
course be maintained, for during the
last five years the people of America
have been increasing the number of
their motor cars enormously, while
Great Britain has been without
power to manufacture or import
motor cars. and with strict regula-
tion of gasoline. The fact remains,
however, that prosperous and we'll
paid people will consume a much
greater percentage of the products of
their own factories than people
working for low wages.
Nearly all of the observations
which have made arc generalitles,
and do not apply to all of the ma
tions of Europe, for the psychology
of each is different. If one thinks of
the economic structure of France,
the first thought is Of the thrift of
the French people. The care with
which they utilize what is treated as
waste in this country results in a
saving nearly sufficient to support
the French population. The recovery
of France will be largely based upon
the thrift of the French people. In
Germany the saving of the money

HEARING ON PROPOSED

with favor upon the proposal to put into
service n "set-out" oklahoma City

hearing before the state corporation
commission yesterday afternoon Off
cials of both roads maintained that such
a sleeper service is impractical, unnec-
essary and would prove improbable.
1t is set out by the railway represent
atives that there are not to exceed an
average of three passengers a day be-
tween Hugo and Ardmore and that the
Santa Fes reservations of four lowers
and three upper berths for Ardmore on
north and southbound trains are rarely
If ever all utilized.
The physical problem Of switching a
sleeper from the Santa F'e tracks to
the Frisco and vice versa was also
raised as II serious objection. The Santa
Fe people were firm in their statements
that Hugo -Ardmore Oklahoma City ana
Oklahoma City-Ardmore-Hugo business
does not warrant the service proposed.
They refused to consider a trial service
of thirty days to ascertain whether the
business would be profitable and gave
every intimatlon that they would resist
the efforts TO install the service.

to hold the matter open for short
