OKLAHOMA ROADS TO
GET MORE CARS

Immediate relief for Oklahoma
wheat shippers has been announced
by Robert Wooley of the interstate
commerce commission in a telegram
to Representative Scott Ferris of Ok.
lahoma who appealed to him recently
for prompt measure to lessen the dan
ger Of losing grain.
Fifty cars will he released each day.
They will be drawn from Galveston.
There are now 2,70O available cars in
Galveston. They are there because
carriers failed to place an embargo
when shipping became congested. The
fifty cars will be allotted to the Rock
Island railroad.
This is good news", John A. White
hurst, president Of the Oklahoma
state board of Agriculture said when
informed of Wooley's action, "The
wheat farmers are in desperate need
OF shipping facilities. We are now
getting about 100 cars daily. The ad-
ditional fifty will greatly facilitate
movements"
Commissions order recurring the
unloading of 2,700 cars of grain ac-
cumulated at Galveston by reason of
carriers failure to promptly place en-
bargo, and allotment of fifty cars
daily for southwestern movements is
expected to ease Oklahoma's grain car
shortage, Wooley said. 1--WE will do
all we can to afford prompt relief"

- ROVER CLEVELAND had no
" more than left the presidency in
defeat AID settled down TO the prae-
was seen that he was still almost as
much the leader of the Democratic
party as when he was in tie White
House.
In the four years of his retirement,
he seldom saw party leaders. Yet so
strong was the reaction against the
Republicans AID so loud the call for
him In 1892 that he returned in tri-
umph to the White House.
One of the periodical panics of the
10TH century smote the country with a
financial and Industrial paralysis in
1893, only two months after the in
auguration. AS usual, the party in
power caught the blame, ald day after
day u leading Republican newspaper
shouted in gleeful headlines: Another
bank gone Democratic !"
AS the first means of restoring con-
fidence. Cleveland called a special ses-
sion of congress for the purpose of
having it repeal the Silver act of the
Harrison administration. The next day
he submitted himself to the surgeons
knife for the removal of a cancerous
ulcer which had appeared in the roof
of his mouth. His grave physical con-
dition was concealed from the panicky
mind Of the public, and the operation
was performed in the closest secrecy
aboard yacht as it steamed slowly up
the East River, off New York. Not IN
til many years had passed was it
known that WREN congress assembled
he faced it with a rubber jaw.
Under the pressure of the president,
the Silver act was repealed. but only
after a bitter struggle which left the
Democratic party hOpeIeSsly split. The
passage of tariff bill divided the par
ty still more. 1t was such a lobby
made, log-rolling measure that Cleve-
land refused to sign it, but let 1t be-
come law without his signature. After
that tie Democrats went down in de-
feat in the congressional elections of
1894.
In the depth of our domestic
troubles the president sent his famous
Venezuelan message to, congress. In
it he announced that the British gov
eminent had rejected all our appeals
for the arbitration of a land dispute
which it was pressing in South Amer
lea, and he boldly proposed that we
ourselves should decide the question
ana proceed to enforce the decision.
Stocks tumbled headlOng in Lon
don and New York, and there was
much wild talk on both sides Of the
Atlantic. But the president confidently
treasured his troubled private secre-

THE wisdom of the arbitrary god

ton, but that irresponsible and erratic
deity goes on her hayward way. often
side-stepping the axiOms of good taste.
One Of those axiOms is that young
girls should be simply dressed-and,
to the joy of the fiapper, fashion has
seen fit to ignore it-for while any
way. She is indulging the younger
girls in their hearts desire-clOthes
like those Of their grOwn-up sisters
not to speak of mothers and grand
mothers. The fiapper is usually in
need of something to make her happi-
ness complete and now she has 1t in
luxurious frocks and coats for eve
ming. These rich trappings are beauti-
full, but lack the flavor of youthful
ness, which is a more appealing charm
than any other.
FrOcks for everyday wear include
many pretty models that are ! OF too
much fused up to be youthful, al
though they reflect the mode for dec

TN ALL the representative displays
L of hats for .yinter much plumage
and much manipulation of p-umage
are In evidence. The all-featneF hat
Is always a part OF the autumn mill
linery parade. but It has never ap-
peared in such numbers or in 50 many
combinations and colors as this fall.
Feather and fur hats are usually
small and expensive. This season finds
a generous sprinkling of larger shapes
among them. and as compared to other
millinery they cOntrive to be less ex-
pensive than heretofore This coun-
try has always supplied great Quanti-
ties Of raw feathers and during the
war may have learned to rely on home
manufacturers instead OF sending
feathers overseas and importing the
bats made OF them It takes a great
deal Of work TO make a good feather
hat. hence we ought not to expect low
prices on them.

eighteen, and they went to housekeep-
ing in a little three-rOom cottage in
Indianapolis. He was not admitted to
the bar until after his marriage, and
the first money he ever made was as
"a court crier at $3.50 day. Later on
ne helped out his lean practice with
his salary as clerk Of the supreme
court of the state. Then came the
Civil war, in which he served CALAMITY
as a colonel and marched with Sher-
man to the sea. Afterward he rose
TO a high and prosperous rank in the
practice of law.
The only political office Harrison
ever held before his election to the
presidency was a seat in the senate
Defeated for reelection to that body
In the year before he was elected pres
ident. he left Washington with no
thought that he would soon return as
president-eiect, and he frankly de-
scribed himself as "a dead duck"
The only candidate that the rank
and file of the Republicans wanted to
nominate in 1888 was Blaine. But he
was not well, and he refused to make
a contest for the nomination. At last
he cabled from Scotland: take Har-
rison." And the convention indiffer-
emily took him.
The more notable events of the Har-
rison administratiOn-the Mckinley
tariff act; the silver act, which more
than doubled the purchase of that
metal by the treasury; the Sherman
law on the subject of trusts; the de-
pendent pension act, and the first Pan
American congress-hardly belong in
this little story, because none of them
originated with the president himself
He did not rise TO leadership and con-
eress took the reins. All the while he
sat In the White House in cold aloof-
ness.
With the cry of "God help the sur
plus :" the Republicans gave the coun-
try In Harrfson's administration the
first 'billion-dollar congress" the ap-
preparations for the twO-year term ris-
Ing TO that unprecedented total. To
the popular protest Speaker Reed re-
torted: This is q billion-dollar coun-
try" But the country did not feel rich
enough to pay the higher tariff rates
of the Mckinley act.
That law was passed only seven
weeks before the congressional cleo
fions in 1890. OF course anyone who
mad anything TO sell seized upon the
excuse TO mark up prices The 'shop-
ping women" rose in their fury at the
higher cost Of living, and the voters
overwhelmed the Republican majority
In the house.
That was the forerunner OF a still
greater political overturn in the presi-
Dental election in 1892, when Harrison
went down under a sweeping victory
for Cleveland.

MILL GIRLS MARRY YOUNG
Many Villages IN the South Where
There Are Absolutely No Old
Maids Found.

A village without an old maid
sounds somewhat like fairy tale, but
several such places exist down below
the Mason and Dixon line.
"AII the women get married In the
mill villages of South Carolina. and
at an early age" says a 7. w c. A
Industrial secretary stationed at Green
vile, where she works among the girls
In IS mills
Perhaps economic independence has
something 10 do with IT, as marriage
is not looked upon by the girls as q
meal ticket, but as a fifty-ffty PROPOSE
ton. The wives do not give up their
jobs but keep right on working.
That the textile industry in South
Carolina absOrbs a large number Of
women as well as men workers is not
surprising considering the fact that
there are as many as Is mills in %
counties. With the population of the
state estimated at 1.5OO.015 people g.
0O4 are mill workers. and 19O.26S are
dependents on mill pay. The vaIu-
alton Of the mills Is $4,000 600 and the
weekly pay roll is s1.OOO.OOO.

1.-The farmer was telling the other
farmer that some one had said that

from the fruit trees, when they were
| young, eaten the fruit, nibbled at ap-
pies and peaches and plums and had
killed any amount of good fruit.
HE also told how different insects
hurt the bark of his trees, and how
they had destroyed fields OF oats and
that beetles had done a great deal of
harm to his asparagus.
1.-THE white grGbs had hurt his po-
tatOes and codling moths had spoiled
his apples.

could happen and had happened and
would happen in the future, especial

birds were their friends and what

Mrs. Robin Red Breast pruned her
feathers and looked very happy.
1.-The farmer said that we had been
watched as a family and that one of
us had been seen to eat thousand

He said that the insects they ate
we're hIrIuful ones, too.

blaekbirds would get rid of the insects

grain, but that often people thought
what the blackbirds took amounted to
more That was wrong and people
were beginning to know that the crea-
| lures who could do harm to the crops
were the lOcusts and grasshoppers and
other little insects
