BOY KILLED IN FIGHT
OF STRIKING MINERS

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Aug. 20.
A fifteen year, old boy was hhot
through the head and instantly
killed and a man was shot in the
leg during a pitched battle at the
mine near here between insurgent
coal miners and miners wanting
to return to work. The boy was
watching the fighting. Not until
the boy fell dead did the battle in
which revolvers, bricks and clubs
were used, subside. The death
frightened the conservatives and
they returned to their homes
without further attempt to re-
sumo their jobs.

BIG GUN NOT WORTH WHILE
American Ordnance Experts Could
Guido the Huns In Savagery, but
Are Not Likely To.

The Hun 75-mlle gun with which
Parts was harassed is doubtless still
regarded by many MS evidence Of the
much-advertised German mechanical
ingenuity
Ordnance experts have long been
aware of the possibility of such gun.
But they have also been aware of Its
impractcabillty owing to lack OF
means Of controlling its fire effective
ly in such dastardly work as shelling
great city regardless of whom or
what was hit.
AS an object lesson our ordnance
department has designed, without
actually building. a supergun which
dwarfs the German machine into In
significance. The data, recently made
public through the Scientific Ameri-
can, fairly bewitches the lay mind.
TIE barrel Of the gun is 225 feet
long and weighs 325 tons. The pres
sure developed is $4,000 pounds to the
souare inch. The proiectile has
muzzle velocity Of $500 foot-seconds
and. develops the terrific energy Of
100000 foot-tons. It's range Is III
miles. Approximately the distance be-
tween Chicago and Madison, Wis. Its
time of flight is four minutes, and II
scars heavenward to a height of 46
miles.
This is awesome; but the cold-blood'
ed expert points out that, after ALL
the gun delivers only n 4OO-pound
sEen, containing GO pounds of high ex'
rlosive. and that such gun would
cost S2,5O0,000. A bombing plane cost
ing $4,000 would drop 1,600pound
bomb with greater accuracy of aim.
The German supergun demonstrates
the savagery of the Hun--the Berseker
madness that strikes regardless OF
whom it strikes. But it also demon
strates an intellectual weakness-the
love of mechanism for mechanism's
sake. A complicated or difficult piece
of machinery captivates his admlra-
ton because it is complicated or difll-
cult, regardless Of its practicahility.
with American genius, simplicity is
the desideratum. The mechanism, for
instance, of the Browning automatics,
whether pistol, rifle or machine gun, Is
astonlshingly simple and practically
demountable by the fingers alone. One
looks at 1t and wonders why 1t wasn't
invented half a century since. And
right there one pays genius a high
tribute.

agent for the Moline Universal, wereI
promoters of the demonstration.
Five hundred people witnessed the
demonstrations of the many usages
Of the tractor during the day. Al
though demonstrations were not
made in every nature of work in
which the tractor can be used eco
nomically it was the consensus OF
opinion among the promoters that
many of the farmers, heretofore
Doubling Thomasas' left the show
fully convinced that tractors are
gradually becoming an essential on
the farm.
Much interest was manifested in
the demonstration, as evidenced by
the large, enthusiastic crowd which
watched the machines advance rap
idly up and down the field, accomp-
fishing as much as could possibly be
accomplished by several teams.
No competitive try-outs were Civ
en- the machines entered in the dem.
onstration, the affair being desig
mated only to create interest in us
ing the tractor on the farm. How
ever, every make of tractor entered
into the demonstration had itsl
boosters. No attempts were madel
to sell the machines by those who
were promoting the stunts.
TIE tractor demonstration was
pronounced one of the most success-t
full affairs of its kind ever staged
in Grady county by most of the five
people who witnessed the
show yesterday.

RED CROSS ROLL CALL
 NOVEMBER END TO 11TH

Governor Campbell has is- sued a proclamation setting the days from November 2 to H., for the Annual Red Cross Roll Call. The program for the inn mediate future for the Red Cross includes not only the full fillment of it's obligation to the Army and Navy, in itself a very large task, but a continuance of it's efforts in behalf of service men, 3O,OO0 of whom are still in military hospitals: the .reor- ganization and holding ready for call again of the fifty base hospitals organized before the United States entered the war and turned over to the army during hostilities: aid to the families of soldiers amounting to over S5OO,O00 a month: a naton wide crusade for the pro- motion of public health combin- ed with a campaign for an ex- tension of the country's nurs- ing resources; the broadening of Home Service to be of gen. eral usefulness where other so- cial agencies are lacking, in- creased facilities for emergen- cy relief and completion of re- lief measures for the victims of the war in this country and ov- erSeaS.
 This is a call to which no American can turn a deaf ear.

Coconino Man Roped Fritzie

The only man in the world to rope a Fritzie during the world war was young fellow named Graham who halls from a Co., conino county ranch. Away back in the early days of the war a young hundred per cent named Paul Graham hit the trail for Los Angeles and en- listed in the navy, and was as signed to the U. s. s. Davis, a torpedo boat destroyer in for eign waters. A few months be- fore the armistice was signed the Davis had the good fortune to send down a U boat. After the boat had scuttled, few Germans were seen floating aronund, so the Davis swung around to pick them up. As they came along toward one Graham seized a heaving line. and hastily tying a bowline in it started spinning the impro- vised cow-string, and finally dropped it around the Fritzie's neck and proceeded to pull him aboard.

He says that, according to officials in Raton, New Mexico, the number of cars that came over the pass this year has been estimated at 12,00O. With each car aver aging three passengers, this means that at least 36,OO0 peo- pie have travelled overland to southern California for the win ter. Added to this is the an- nouncement of the Santa Fe that the first three section train westbound ever in the history of the company left Chicago last Wednesday morning.

It Might Have Been

What might have been a ser ious accident was aVerted We'd nesday afternoon by a change of orders from Flagstaff. City Marshal Burns received tele- phone message that a large six passenger Packard car had smashed one of the lamp posts in Flagstaff, and had made off for the west. Burns was in- structed to head them off and arrest them. He sprang into his jitney and headed eastward At the Williams Garage he placed his jit across the road. What the Packard would have done to that bunch of loose nuts is sin to contemplate. But the great thing did not come off. Burns got another message say ing the Packard had been cap tured in Flagstaff.
