CANNOT REFER THE
PROHIBITION AMENDMENT

For the reason that the Oklahoma
Legislature adopted or ratified the
Federal Amendment on prohibition
by concurrent resolution, acted on
behalf of the state, and which action
is not referrable to the people. At
torney-General Freezing this week
instructed Secretary of State Morris
to refuse to accept for filing. petit
ions to refer the legislative action to
vote of the people. The attorney
general also said that he would not
concur in any ballot title on the SUBJ
ject, nor would he prepare one IL re-
quested.
The encouragement takes the
view that as the federal amendment
provided for its ratification or re-
lection by reference to the State
Legislatures. that this procedure was
followed and none other is provided
for; that the matter is not referr-
able. Complying with the instruct
ions of the attOrney-general. Secre-
tary of State Morris has refused to
file the petitions when presented.

COUNTY SALVATION ARMY
QUOTA IL $4,OO0.OO

BRYAN County's quota for the Sal
walton army in the national drive for
funds to carry on the community
work of the Army is set - S4.1C0,
and Jas. X. Mckinney has been sell
ected as county chairman to organize
for the raising Of this sum.
For q great many years, the Sal
vation Army has done a community
Work all over the country, raising
the necessary funds by singing and
holding meetings on the streets of
hundred of cities and passing the
tambourine, after sufficient crowd
had gathered. Every one knew of
the army's work, but a majority took
il as matter Of course and 1t was
not as much appreciated as 1t might
have been. When America got into
the war the Army organized for war
work at home and abroad, and al
though given less financial support
in campaigns than any of the other
war work organizations. the army
probably leads all the others In the
esteem of the rank and file of the
soldiers.
The Armys records show that of
all their time, more than half has
been devoted to raising money thru
the old methods, and they have de
cided to change the method. They
figure it that the public has been
furnishing the money anyway. and IL
the work merits support, the money
ought be raised in a way that will
allow them to give ALL THEIR time
to work, instead of half of it to the
raising of money under the old way,
hence the campaign.
In the campaigns elsewhere. the
returned soldiers have been asked to
help in the money raising and they
have done it with good results. Mr..
Mckinney plans to perfect his or
CaniZation at once and to start the
campaign on the fourth of July.

Early in the fall tho dressing room Of the Bridgeport City club at the Meadows was broken into and the whole of the Rover jerseys who had bcon borrowed for an exhibition game were stolen. Nothing had been heard regarding the jerseys for several months and the management of the team had given up all hopes of them being returned. During last week. however. the Stratford police who have been on the lookout ever since, saw a. man coming through Stratford center with one of the blue jerseys on. Tho letter "R" which was made Of white cotton and had been taken off the jersey but the marks were visible and the police promptly ar rested the person. This arrest led to another arrest at Trumbun and sev- eral other stolen articles. The police have other suspects now in view and it is expected that before the week is out the whole of the stolen proper ty will have been recovered.

MANY BALL GAMES.

Reports from overseas to Knights of Columbus headquarters here, tell about five thousand games of baseball played daily by soldiers with outfits supplied them by the Knights.
 From New York, during the winter there was shipped weekly immense quantities of baseball paraphernalia, and late reports from Paris state that every baseball outfit shipped is now in daily use. Shipments continue and will continue for many months yet, so no soldier overseas need be with out baseball equipment.
 Knights of Columbus secretaries report that baseball is played by the doughboys from morning till night at every camp and they are encour- aged to play by their officers, who find that the sport takes their minds off the subject of coming home-at least temporarily.

SARAH JENNINGS.

Sarah Jennings was the wife of John, duke of Marlborough, the vic tor of B1enheim. Historians have not been generous in speaking of her character, and her worst fault is said to have been her temper. She became the intimate friend of King James second daughter, Princess Anne, and of her relations with the princess the Duchess has left the following &C., count: Anne detested any treatment by me which showed display of cere- mony due to her rank; nor could she hear from me the sound of words which implied distance and superior ity. Therefore one day she proposed that she take the name of Mrs. Nor ley and I take the name of Mrs. Freeman, and that we be known to each other in future by tbese names"

SAM FITZPATRICK FINDS
 THREE 'LIKE1DY 'UNS.''

"charIie Noonan, the New York sportsrnan whose money made it pos sible for Sam Fitzpatrick to take Jack Johnson to Australia to fight Tommy Burns and win the worlds heavyweight championship title, re- ceived a letter last week from Fftz- patrick who, as a Knights of Colum- bus secretary, is serving our dough- boys with the Army of Occupation. in which he makes this statement:' There are three heavyweights now with the American Army near Co., blenz who could whip Johnson when he was at his best. No matter who wins in the willard-Dempsey battle. the victor will have to meet one of these three men. When that takes place get q bet down on the soldier puEilist."
 MT. Noonan financed the Sam Fftz- patrick-Jack Johnson combination and was, like Fitzpatrick. a victim of Johnson's fngratitude. Johnson won the championship. Noonan lost a small fortune and Sam Fitzpatrick lost an opportunity to make a mil lion dollars.
