PRAY POISON CAUSE OF
DEATH TO FARM ANIMALS

According to State Chemist E. w.
Rhodenbaugh, G number of deaths
OF horses and cattle have been re-
ported throughout the state, due APP
parently to grazing where poisonous
spray has been used to eradicate
weeds.
Animals should not be allowed to
Craze on such land" says Mr.. Rho
denbaugh, until the vegetation that
has been treated has entirely disap-
peared, or until rains have washed
the poison away"
In the opinion of the state chem
list, that is the only safe method of
protecting stock. while some spray
mixtures are more poisonous than
others, and most people use more
than is necessary, there seems to be
no law at present to regulate the
formula or the amount used"

DEVASTATED BELGIUM
RECEIVERS FROM WAR
(By International News Service)

(By International News Service)
SPRINGFIELD, Ill.-Devastated
Belgium is today 80 per cent recov-
cred from the war. Food and lux
uries are as plentiful there as they
are in America.
This is the message brought back
to Springfield by United States Dis
trict Attorney Edward c. Kotte, who
has just returned from visit to
Belgium.
THE populace tolls from daylight
to dark" said Mr. Kotte. "The war
seems to have developed the best in
them"
Even in the most devastated dis
tricts," he continued, conditions are
rapidly approaching normal. In
spots the battlefields have been re-
stored and crops are again growing.
Generally speaking, however, the
fields are only cleared"
Mr.. Kotte believes that within
three years crop conditions in Bel
GUM will be normal.

TAME RUBBER TAKES
THE PLACE OF WILD

Brazil no longer holds the su.
premacy in rubber production in the
world. Fifteen years ago no one
even thought of any other country
than Brazil when rubber was men,
toned. But today seven-eighths OF
the rubber produced comes from the
far east, where it Is grown on plan
tations. Brazils output is still wild
rubber, gathered from trees in the
jungle of the Amazon.
American interest was attracted
to the plantation industry in 1910,
when the British and other Euro
peans had invested between three
and four hundred million dollars in
estates. The United States Rubber
company, the largest consumer of
crude rubber in the world, was one
Of the first of the American concerns
to investigate the possibilities and
enter the field. The Dutch Island of
Sumatra was chosen for the COM
pany's activities. This American
corporation has established there the
largest single rubber plantation in
existence. The tract contains more
than seventy miles of trees in high
state of cultivation and close to 90
600 employees are at work in the
great orchard. The high standards
of administration and scientific Gull
ture which have marked this project
have implanted in the minds of the
jewellers in that far eastern cline
thoro going respect for American
efficiency.

N THE sixteenth century romances
of chivalry, written in absurd, ex-

IN THE sixteenth century romances
of chivalry, written in absurd, ex-
aggerated style, were extremely
popular in Spain.
A dignified gentleman by the name
Of Quixada, who lived between Aragon
and CASTLE, went crazy over these
foolish books, which he spent all his
substance in buying. His brain was
stuffed with entertainments, Quarrels,
battles, challenges, wounds, magic
salves, complaints, amours, torments,
giants castles, captured maidens, gal
liant rescues, and all sorts Of impossi-
BILE deeds Of daring, which seemed to
him as true as the most authentic his
tory. Every inn-keeper was mag
nate; every mule-driver cavalier.
He decided that for his own honor
and for the service of the world, he
must turn knight-errant and jaunt
through the world, redressing wrongs,
rescuing captured princesses, and at
last winning the imperial sceptre of
Trapizonda.
He changed his name to Don
Quixote de la Mancha, got himself
dubbed knight by rascally publican,
whose inn he thought was castle
with four turrets crowned with pin
nacles Of glistening silver. In order
to carry a full purse he sold one of
his houses, mortgaged another and
borrowed goodly sum from friend.
When his practical housekeeper and
his pretty niece. together with his
neighbors, the barber and the curate,
thought to cure him by burning his
books, he was persuaded that his
library had been carried away by
necromancer, and became crazier than
ever. He secured up a rusty suit Of.
mail which had belonged to one of his
ancestors, mended the broken helmet
with a pasteboard vizor, patched with
thin iron plates, and thus accoutered
set forth on his old hack Rocinante,
whose ribs stuck out like the skeleton
Of a ship, accompanied by rustic
named Sancho Panza, persuaded into
serving as his squire.
Their departure was brave spec
tacle: the tall, cadaverous, lantern
jawed knight, mounted on his bony
nag, welding his long lance and car
rying his sword, his eyes cleaning
with enthusiasm and dreaming Of his
beautiful mistress, whom he called
Dulcinea del Toboso; the short, squat,
paunch-bellied, long-haunched servant
with canvas wallet and a leathern
bottle, mounted on the diminutive ass.
Dapple.
On the plains Of Montiel stood
score Of big wind-mills. Don Quixote
took them for outrageous giants and
prepared to do battle against them,
and despite Sancho's protests that
their huge arms were only vanes, he
plunged the rowels into Rocinante's
thin tanks and with couched lance,
dashed off to the encounter. The wind
blew violently and the knight and his
steed were whirled away into the field,
where they lay motionless and as if
dead; his lance was smashed to fin
ders. Sancho FASTENED to the aid of
his master and found him unable to
stir; but he was soon ready to 60 on
again.
Their next adventure was with two
monks, riding on mules as big as
dromedaries, in company with coach
In which sat a lady escorted by men

JUDGE RUTHERFORD
BRETT RES |GNS As
ATTORNEY OF ARDMORE

The resignation OF Judge Rutherford
Brett as city attorney creates Il va.
cancy 10 be filled as soon as the may
or and city commissioners have sift-
ed out the applications they are likely
to receive for tho place.
Who should be named city attorney,
was the bone of contention between
the mayor and some of the com
missioners when the present admin
istration assumed office. The mayor
wanted to appoint ono man and the
commissioners wanted another, and as
a compromise Judge Brett was asked
TO take the office temporarily. with
this request he complied and has
performed the duties up to Friday
night. when he handed in his resig-
nation.
y. Il. Riddle, former city attorney,
was one Of the applicants under the
present administration and he seemed
to be acceptable to 4 majority of the
board. The mayors choice. however,
was r. l.. Disney, and that is the
reason for the deadlock.
Just who the applicants will be is
problematical but there nre several
attorneys i'm the city who would not
object to drawing the salary as city
attorney, as the duties are alleged
not to be very hard and "A great deal
of time can be devoted TO private prac.
tice.
1t is expected that a successor TO
Judge Brett will be chosen at the next
regular meeting of the board.

Since the dissolution of the law
partnership of Brett 4 Mathers,
which occurred on the first of jan
uary, Judge Brett has entered the
practice of law by himself.
He has offices just across the hall
from the offices in the Norman
Building, on Main street, formerly
occupied by the firm.
Judge Brett is one Of the best
known lawyers and jurists in Okla,
homa, and he adds strength end
prestige to the Ardmorc bar, which
has always been among the strong
est bars of the state.
For a period of IA years he prac-
ticed law in this state, before go
ing on the bench. He was elected
twice to the office of county attor-
ney, in Washita county, and bears
the unique distinction of having
led his ticket in that county by
more than 400 votes, which is rath-
err an unusual compliment for any
man to receive. He resigned from
this office when the law became
effective denying to county at
torneys the privileges Of taking civil
cases and re-entered the general
practice of law.
He did not remain in the practice
long until he was called to serve
on the supreme court commission
When the late Judge Henry NJ. Fur
man, formerly Of this city, passed
out, Judge Brett succeeded him OF
the criminal court of appeals. From
membership on the criminal cour
Of appeals he was promoted to mem
bership on the supreme court o
the state and he gave five year
of his time to service on this, th'
highest appellate court.
Judge Brett has two sons VIII,

war and both Of them are now II
