LOCAL MAN SAYS HE WAS WITH

EVENING OF BULLARD BURGLARY

| while am not interested In the

Howard Allen, parcled from the

ing and went into the smoker and
took the only available seat which
avs occupied, as learned later by
Allen.
81 don't know how we happened
to get into a conversation, but we
did and he showed me a letter from
Superintendent Buckner, stating in
effect that Howard Allen had been
paroled by the governor for a pc
riod of ten days | knew he was
a. convict for / saw his number
stamped on one leg of his trousers.
| remember that he wore a cap.
He told me he was going to Shaw
nee and then to Atchison, Kansas,
where his wife was critically III.
I'VE got pretty well acquainted
and he mentioned working on the
engine of a little railroad which runs
into West Morland, Kan where ]
was born and raised. That fact
probably brought out the lengthy
conversation in which we mentioned
the prison term ahead of him and
other details. He left the train at
El Reno and went on to Rlnsas
- the FREELY.
IF he assisted in the robbery of
the Bullard store, he returned to
Chickasha that night on No. IL. /
didn't see him board the Shawnee
train, but it was standing on the
track waiting for the FREELY when
we arrived in FL Reno. | fail to see
why, il Allen wanted to rob a store,
why he should return to Chickasha

Which might have offered an op-
portunity.'

A Boost For Cotton.

The ramifcation of the high cost of
living are many and devious and touch
life at every point. In no phase has
it been more acutely felt than in the
matter of woman's attire, from the
crown of her graceful head to the sole
of her dainty foot. And here pre-
cisely is where a slight turn for the
better is already manifesting itself.
1t appears that when silk threatened
to reach a prohibitive price many of
our manufacturers had the foresight
to enlarge their facilities Tor turning
out cotton garments, to which they ap-
piled more skillful designing and bet
ter dressmaking than heretofore has
been their practice. The retailers
helped by agreeing to push the sale
The result is that fashion has set the
hallmark of its approval on cotton
dresses, waists and skirts for summer
wear this year, and has thereby lifted
them from the class of mere utilities,
pressed into service for the house or
the porch, to the proud distinction of
being suitable apparel for the street.
Of the wisdom Of this move there
can be no question. Apart from its
effect on the family exchequer, which
in the aggregate will be extremely i'm
portant, it tends to open a wider mar
ket for one of our great national sta
pie crops. It helps, also, to show
that in this instance, as in so many
others, the people, if they so will it,
need not be at the mercy of the for
eigner, but can be becomingly and
even fashionably in material which is
the product of American soil, Ameri-
can looms and American designers.
This innovation is, it is to be hoped,
only the forerunner of many similar
ones. The people must not rely too
much on the powers or functions of
government to reduce the cost Of ne
cessities. The remedy lies largely
with themselves. They must bring
home to themselves the truth of the
saying of the best beloved of Hibeno-
English poets:
How small, of all that human hearts
Endure,
The part which laws or kings can
cause or cure.
Self-reliance is a great virtue in
an individual; in its application to
a nation it may truly be said that
in many respects it eclipses all others.
