drift ter h--l an back, an he argued that it was Ponca's business to see that she got started off right His idee was that she ought ter be married afore she had any chance ter drift and git reckless like a lot O them females"
 There was an uneasy movement among the crowd and Shelby was amused at the varied expression upon the faces before him. Mccarthy paused as though gathering himself together for his main effort.
 All I got ter say is when thought it all over I concluded the preacher sure had it sized up about right. That girl is decent an has been brought up decent, even if OF Dad was a rounder He kept her straight an giv' her good education. Now what's goin' ter become of her when she's left alone? told the preacher I'd do my share an see to 1t that Ponca came up to the scratch. I naturally can't marry her myself, seeing as how Pve got wife and five kids already, but I'll do the next best thing-Fll cough up enough coin to give the fellow who will give her a chance ter make good. She's goin' ter have cash ter back her.''
 ''How much?'
 .What's the figure, Dan?"
 "Two thousand, besides the five hundred already subscribed. That's more'n some O you ducks ever saw"
 Say, Mac, what was the plan? Cut the cards for furst ehance?"
 eNo; this Is a sportin' proposition, with everyone havin' a fair show" explained the saloonkeeper. "We sorter picked you boys out as the most likely runts round town and intend ter line you up an then let her pick out the one she takes fancy to. It's only fair she has chsnee to take the dufser she'd rather have."

look to me like the sort who could be driven. It's my idea that girl ain't even halter broke yet, let alone willin' to trot in double harness. Ain't that the truth, Mac?'
 Shelby lit cigar, waiting for the saloonkeeper to deliver his decision.
 "She's a bit odd, an sorter bull headed, yer might say" the latter said finally. '9That's true enough, Tom. had a time gettin' her to go through them ceremonies this afternoon. She just wanted Old Dad planted quiet like. She's mighty liable to be offish when the preacher first puts this pro position up to her. Likely as not she'll throw fit but we'll fetch her up to the trough just the same. You ain't got any better scheme, have yer? The only way ter save a girl out in this country is ter marry her-ain't that so?'
 .I reckon 1t Is. Got yer gang lined up yet?''
 Not yet; there's a plenty to choose from an I aim ter write out the list over at the saloon. How about you?"
 "Me? Not on your life, Mac; this is not my funeral"
 "Youll help us out, thought"
 "Sure; I'll talk 1t over with the boys and get lem interested. I'll even throw fifty dollars into the jack pot to give the happy couple a start. There's nothin' that will put more pep into a prospective bridegroom than bunch O money in sight. You two fellows figure it out an I'll go over to the saloon and, sorter quite-like feel the boys out bit. Wherell you be fin an hour?"
 "In my office. Who was you aiming to talk with?"
 "Oh, Cady, Jim Mack, Rowdy' Egan an that bunch. They are the boys yer aimin' to interest, reckon. How much of jack pot do you aim to raiser
 Mccarthy pondered a moment, his chin cupped in his hand.
 "Well, I'll blow in two-fifty an reckon there are those who would raise 1t to q right smart figure. You kin talk couple O thousand, Tom. As yer say, that'n be quite feature, an there ain't no reason why we shouldn't pull the affair off fernightp

 GOES IN RIOT
 NEAR BOSTON
(By United Press

Revere, Mass, Aug. 9.-A score of sailors were wounded and women and children were trampled under feet of rioters here last night when rioting broke out at the metropolitan beach police station, short distance north east of Boston. The fighting start ed when 600 sailors stormed the police station in an attempt to release a comrade who had been arrested for drunkenness.
 The sailors attacked the station with rocks, bottles and any other in- struments at hand, and forced their way into the building. seizing rifles which they immediately turned upon the police. Squads of police mobiliz- ing quickly fired into the closely massed ranks of sailors and wounded more than 20. One hundred sailors were rounded up and placed in jail after the fight, while others gathered up their wounded. Police then threw a strong guard around the station to prevent further trouble.

 Tramway officials, however, reiter- ated their declaration that they would not recognize the carmen's union, nor would they take the strikers back to work in a body, but only as places by strike-breakers were vacated. The strikers had earlier declared that they would not return to work under such terms, but an agreement has ap- parently been reached.
 Cars operated by strike breakers and guarded by federal troops are be- ing run today, but are carrying few passengers.

UNIVERSITY TO GIVE
 COURSE FOR FARMERS

Home Agent Miss Ella Posey is in- terested in getting as many farm club members as can to take the farmers short course at the University of Ar kansas, Fayetteville, August 16 to 20. Several of the girls here for the rally last week promised to go and Miss Posey hopes to enlist others. h. struction at the University is absolute ly without cost, the only expense be- ing the railroad fare to and from Fayetteville and a nominal charge of $1 per day for board and rooms. Those who attend the short course will be uaratered in the University dormi- tories and will be required to furnish only three bed sheets and pillow cas- es.
 For the girls who attend, special courses will be given in cooking and sewing. The school, Miss Posey said, offers fine opportunity for a pleas ant vacation and a chance to study at the same time.

SAYS VOTERS SHOULD
 REPUDIATE CORRUPTION
J. I. McClurkn Urges the Importance of Selecting Best Men for Office
 Tomorrow.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 I feel constrained to write few lines to my fellow citizens today on the eve of our election. It seems to me that there has never been a time when conditions called for a higher quality of judgment and discretion in selecting men for office than now Our whole political, social, economic, industrial and moral situations call for the highest type of men; far sighted, broad minded men of sound Judgment and marked ability; con- structive statesmen of the highest sense of justice and right and of un- impeachable character; men who have the courage to face and to discharge their duty without flinching; men who would rather go down in defeat than to stoop to dishonest and unworthy methods to accomplish their purpose.
 Every man who shall be elected to- morrow should be able to go into of flee unhampered by any condition that would hinder him in the full and Impartial discharge of his duty. To that end every candidate should run on his own merits and positive, con- structlve program. If he uses illegi- innate, dishonest and unworthy meth ods of any sort to defeat an opponent, such man goes into office handi- capped with the consciousness that he le dishonest and cannot be fully trust ed-and no man is a man who is not first of all thoroughly honest. If accept money, goods, credit or any other material advantage as an induce ment to vote for particular candi- date l know that l am not honest, that the man who gave it to me is not honest, that the man who furnished 1t is not honest and tat the candidate who permitted it to be used for him is not honest. Every man who may have

any relation to such a transaction as the one outlined, above or to any other similar agreement, expressed or taclt, should wake up to the seriousness Of his moral and civic crime and repudl- ate the whole thing and go to the polls and vote the honest convictions of an honest man. No other course is worthy of any man. 1 believe in car rying out every legitimate contract, promise and obligation to the letter. But no man is or can be under obi- gation to stultify and barter away his honor, the one thing that makes him a man.
 We need to create a wholesome pub lie sentiment that will brand as a traitor and as an unworthy citizen any man who would hinder or defeat the public welfare for his own private gain. Every right thinking man wants the moral integrity to be kept on the highest plane; we need such spirit and sentiment as will not per init moral degenerates to infest any community. Every right thinking man wants the laws enforced impar tially; we need such officers, backed by such a sentiment, as will not per init infractions of the laws to be wink ed at. Every right thinking man wants all of our property on the tax books at an honest fair and equitable valuation. We need a public senti- ment so strong as to make every man feel that he is depriving the children of their just dues and is defeating the best interests of his own posterity when he covers up keeps off of the tax books or fails to make an honest assessment of all of his property sub ject to taxation for in so doing he holds down the level of intelligence and thus makes it possible for Bolshevism and it's attendant evils to flourish. Let our manhood and womanhood as- sert itself and break every letter and shackle that would hinder the pro- gress of civic righteousness.
