decreasing costs of commodities.
The New England textile mills are given as
fair example. The new wage scales represent cut

I don't know how he found the time,
And yet his book discloses
That he has read all prose and

From Kipling back TO Moses.
And, culliug stuff that had the

To hit the public favor
He spread n literary lunch
Chock full of pep and SAVIOR.

Village of $50 People Vir-

: Bodies Found
HOUSES STANDING
One Hundred Persons Injurcd--Cloth-

Three Miles Away.

Muskogec. Okla. May 4.-More
than $50 persons are known to have
been killed and approximately 100 in
jured in a cyclone that virtually wiped
out Pcggs, a small village in the nortl,
west corner of Cherokee county, about
Q O'Clock Sunday.
Forty-three bodies have been recov-
cred by rescue workers from Musko-
gee, Tahlcquah and Locust Grove.
More are believed to be in the wreck
age.
Only three buildings remained
standing after the storm had passed.
When the rcscuers arrived in Peggs
they found only heap of twisted,
mud splattcred debris. A heavy rain
and hail accompanied the storm, and
when the workers began collecting the
bodies from the ruins many were so
plastored with mud that they had TO
be washed off before they could be
identified
The dead were collected in shelters
left by the tangled walls and roofs.
Twenty were piled in one nook, while
searching parties ranged the imme-
diate vicinity.
One of the freaks of the storm was
that a small frame shack, uninhabited
was left standing in the heart of the
town while brick buildings housing
many persons around it were razed.
The Pcggs schoolhouse, concrete
building, was crushed.
Clothing was found plastered on the
trees several miles from the path of
the storm by rescuers on the way 10
the village yesterday morning.
The storm covered an area three
miles lcrg and one mile wide, ap-
parently dropping down just in time
to hit the village and rising soon af-
ter leaving it.
