The fact that all city fire plugs will be taken care

by the people. Ever since one plug failed to make

There is a fortune awaiting the man who invents
some sort OF a contraptlon that will make a parked
car thief proof. Philadelphia had four million dol
lars worth Of automobiles stolen during 1921 near
~ double the amount lost in the preceding year.
and what had happened In Philadelphia has been
repeated all ever the country. Some Of the talent
that has been going into perfecting machine guns
and such like can now turn attention to the milf
tant needs Of the paths Of peace, and give these &C
tive robbers some bad moments.

MarchOf Progress Eliminates Old
 Indian Graves

Okmulgee, Okla--Encroachin civ nization is crowdfng out the Old Creek burial grounds in the northeast part Of the city-a spot that contains
 the remains of many of the famous old chiefs that roamed the prairieS
 of the Indian Territory before civili- zation lent it's advances to the trades
 that are now pushing it into the
 background. --- . <
 The hum drum of pneumatic rivet-
 ing machines and the roar of speed . ing trains is breakinsg-the sacred si-- lence that attends the burial place of these ancient chiefs and tribeSmen of a once powerful nation. Shadows :. of tanks and towers play over the tu7nbled and broken stones that were once monuments to the achievements of noted Creek leaders.
 The cemetery, now located near the oil refnerieS of Omulgee, in years gone by was the national burial grounds of the Creek tribe. In those and cared for as are the larger burial plots of the country today. But now, , the burial ground is becoming oblit- erated; the tombStoneS and markings are broken and scattered.
 Scores of the graves are unmarked, and many of them have been lost in
 the shuttle of time. The old wooden coverings are decayed and fallen, the cases were used as caskets, being the only tablets of their kind to with
 stand the waste of years.
 Little or no attempt is being made to preserve the burying ground A fence was once erected around the blot, but today it has fallen like dozens of the monuments, and horses and COWS graZe over and around the graves.
 On some of the stones the names of the dead are clearly marked while from others weather and time has
 practically erased the names once crudeIy cut therein. On top of the ? Shandwroug1Tt stone boxes which still are intact are curiously carveed de- signs of flowers and animals. The

The 5-months-o old baby of Mrs. G.
Patterson died at noon on Friday. The
child had been i'll only a few days. The
family is reported to be in destitute
circumstances, the husband and father
having left some time ago. The family
lives near the Standard Oil plant here.
The dinner dance at the San Mar
cos was well attended on Friday evfn-
ing and many local parties attended as
well as parties from Mesa. Tempe and
Phoenix.
At the hearing held here by the
Arizona corporation commission it was
suggested that the Southside Gas and
Electric company move their offices
here in view of the fact that they de-
sire to sell their interests in Tempe and
that as they sell only supplies and
fixtures in Mesa it would be a good
idea to move here because they furnish
all the lighting for Chandler.
