which they put on over their heads
These have widefowing sleeves but
no opening In front. The fire bas-
kets In which charcoal is kept burn
ing are attached to the belt under
this garment and it is thus that the
natives keep warm.
1.-THE roads in India are excellent.
Extending 80 miles out of Srinagar,
in Cashmere is a road maintained by
the natives and built by them which
is better than our hard surfaced
highways. On either side this road
is lined with straight. tall poplar
trees. In sections under direct Brit
ish control the roads are construct
ed by native labor in charge Of Eng
lish engineers. The railroads have
also been built by the British and
the use of the block system has re-
duced accidents to the minimum. A
railroad accident is rarely heard Of
in India.
"You ask about the Gahndi move
ment. The movement is gradually
losing its hold because the people
finding that the boycott on all things
British Is cheating them Of che
things ON which they have learned
to depend. Gahndi is a Hindu and
one reason he has gained such
following is that he chalnpioned the
Mohammedan cause despite the fact
that there is no association between
the Hindus and Mohammedans. OPP
position to the British has no doubt
been fostered by German propagan-
da which used the enmity caused
among the Mohammedans by the
Versailles treaty terms to Turkey,
seat of the MOhammedan religion,
as basis from which to work.
The masses of India appreciate
British rule and are loyal to the
crown except where they have been
deceived.
"Our work among the people may
be divided into two branches, educa-
tional and evangelistic. We main
tain a day school and a boarding
school to which girls Of Christian
parentaRe are sent from all neigh
boring districts. Those in the board
Ing school must be born Of Chris
tan parents otherwise they would
be constant clash between the
Mohammedans and Hindus. At the
day schools however these groups
can be handled successfully. All
people Of neither Hindu or Moham-
medan faith are called Christians,
by the way, no matter how wicked
they may be for that is the only way
in which the natives can classify
them. All schools are elementary
except two high schools in the united
provinces under direct British con-
troll. In India the schools average
less than one to 100000 people.
"Our evangelistic work is done by
going into the homes where the
neighbors will gather and join In
the singing and listen to the reading
of the Bible Much work is being
done also by the use Of pictures.
Stereoptican views are shown to
groups that gather at one house in
the neighborhood.
"The work is fascinating but let
no one think it is easy for that is a
mistake. 1t is hard, very hard, but
we are glad to be able to do 1t and
in a few more months l shall be
hack again to help carry on

LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION
Governor Allen Asks That Business
Be Suspended

In officially designating Septem-
Der 5 as Labor Day in Kansas, Gov
ernor Allen requests that all public
and private business, ''as fas as
may be found practicable and con-
sistent," be suspended. His pro
clamation follows in part:
1.-The closer and more amicable
the relations between employers and
employees the better 1t is for all.
Both should, therefore, alike join in
the observance and the extraction of
all possible good results from it.
The spirit of the occasion should be
in keeping with correct principles
of equality as defined in the organic
laws upon which constitutional liber-
ty rests, which always has been anu
always will be maintained by the
patriotism of the American people.
Problems which seem difficult may
be solved justly and tremendously
by all who feel common concern
for their country's welfare"

Members of the American Legion
are busy today selling abilene
tags for automobiles. They are good
looking enameled tags about the size
of the state license tags. The sell
ing is competitive, and the two
members Of the Legion who sell the
most tags get all actual expenses to
the National convention at Kansas
City. All members who sell forty
or more get carfare to the National

RED CROSS RESCUED
 6OO,OOO FROM DEATH
Spent S1,2oo,000 for Relief of Famine Sufferers in China
 Last Year.


 To help overcome conditions of acute distress in five famine stricken prov inces of Northern China, where mill lions of persons were affected by an unprecedented shortage of food, the American Red Cross during the last fiscal year spent more than S1,200,OO0, $1,O00,OO0 of which was contributed di- recty by National Headquarters and the remainder by various groups in- terested in the welfare of China.
 Through the wide relief operations thus made possible 1t Is estimated that more than 100000 famine sufferers were saved from starvation.
 To the end that similar prompt re- lief measures by the organization may always be possible the Red Cross is asking continued support by the Amer ican people by universal renewal of membership at the Annual Red Cross Roll Call, November II to 24
 The method of relief employed by the American Red Cross in its opera tions in China was particularly effec- tive, for in addition to saving hundreds of thousands of lives it provided China with more than 900 miles of permanent roads that are sOrely needed to pre-. vent a recurrence of famine. At one time the Red Cross employed 74,000 Chinese workmen, paying them in food for themselves and dependents, this food being brought in from Manchuria and elsewhere.

LIFE SAVING CORPS

Growth of Red Cross Life Saving Corps throughout the country con tinued unabated during the last fiscal year, a summary of the years achievements by that Red Cross Serv- ice shows. There are now 160 Corps with total membership of more than 10000 members, of which 1,276 are sufficiently skilled in the work to act as examiners. Among the outstanding achievements of the Red Cross in this field during the last year was the or- ganizatiOn at the United States Naval Academy.

Interpretation thereof, and the writer
has been told, by man who received
tae assurance from the new presi-
dent himself, that the new president
is going to see that the controversy
over oil question: is settled to the sat
isfaction Of the Americans In fact,
it IL now generally expected that the
new congress, which will take up
the question upon the presidents invi-
tation, will enact legislation which
will insure that nothing in the new
constitution will be retroactive, or
confiscatory Of the vested rights Of
foreigners in the subsoil OF Mexico.
The oil business however, Is going
ahead with little interruption on ac-
count of this question. In the Tam
pico field, which l visited, drilling
has taken a new life, under titles
and leases secured prior TO the issu-
ance of the Carranza DEGREES Of 1913.
one large company, long in that field,
has program for the expenditure
OF twenty four million dollars during
the present year. All over the re-
public, concessions have been secured
on large blocks Of oil territory, direct
from the government, issued under
the DEGREES under Article % OF the
new constitution. One Of these con-
, ccssions. said 10 consist of about 10
million acres, has been granted 10 an
Oklahoma oil producer, and is now
undergoing exploration on n large
scale. There seems no doubt but
that, before a great while. other i'm
portant oil fields will be discovered in
Mexico, which will add to her su-
premacy gained through the Tampico
field. which latter constitute the
richest fields so far discovered in
the world and the export OF Oil
through that port places Tampico IN
| the second position among the ports
of the world as regards the value
of exports, being exceeded only by
| the port of New York. approximately
| eight-fiye per cent of this enormous
business in oil is being conducted
! by Americans and the city of Tam
pico. as consequence, has been
Americanized to a considerable de-
gree. One is surprised to find Am
erican money in circulation there
almost to the total exclusion OF Mex
ican coins, and this includes all Of our
coinage, from pennies up to the gold
double-eagles. Mexican currency is
now on a gold basis with no paper
money in circulation, and the value
of the silver peso is stabilized at 30
cents American. There are also in
circulation Mexican gold coins, rang
ing in denomination, from two to 20
pesos, but American gold is also
received in current payment all over
the republic.

EDWIN FRASER TELLS MUCH OF
INTEREST CONCERNING MEXICO:
= WILL RETURN THERE TO ENTER
INTO THE OIL GAME IN TAMPIC0

Edwin r. Fraser. well known Ard
more man. has just returned from
an extended trip through Mexico, but
leaves here tonight TO return to the
fampico oil fields, where he will en-
gage in the oil business.
Mr.. Fraser Travelled approximately
2,bOO miles into the interior of Mexico,
at one time making 25O-mile trip
on horseback. On this ride he was
escorted by 100 Mexican soldiers. He
relates many interesting details OF
his trip. En- route to Ardmore he
visited his family in California.
Prior to going to Mexico Mr.. Fraser
spent two months in Ardmore, having
come here upon his return from the
Orient where he had spent many
| months. He was at that time nssoc-
| ated with New York firm. He
has severed his connection with the
firm, however, and will enter the oil
game for himself. He expects to re-
main in the Tampico fields indefi-
nitely.
Mr.. Fraser prepared the following
Mexico, for the. Ardmoreite:
The question at present uppermost
lin the mind OF everyone in this coun-
try concerning Mexico is, What are
the prospects Of peace and q stable
government there? This question is
not so difficult to answer as at first
might be supposed. because there has
been clearing away of the clouds
OF revolution and contention in that
unhappy country, during the past
SIX or eight months, that has been
apparently as thorough and complete
as it has been surprising to US Of the
United States, who had long ago
reached the state Of mind which re.
garded political strife in Mexico as n
permanent condition. A recent trip
through good part of Mexico by
the writer, including an overland
Journey of several hundred miles, in
addition 70 conversations with Il cabi-
ret member and other prominent
Mexicans. as well as talks with AM
orleans who have been long resident
There has served TO bring him up to
date on some questions concerning
Mexico with which he had been out
cf touch since his last residence in
that country, about 10 years ago.
Perhaps the most favorable and
hopeful indication Of peace and sta
bilty is, not that this general has
been killed or that another one has
been imprisoned. or another banishoo
from the country, or, even that villa
has promised 10 he a good "hombre'
and has retired to his hacienda but
that. among all classes and in all
parts. the universal feeling among
the people Is that hey are dead ired
of fighting. The next impression.
,hat stands out prominently as an in
dication of an era Of peace. IS the
feel!nr of hope and confidence which
the people have in the present off
r,als ana it may be said that, from
! every circumstance and appearance,
| this feeling Of confidence is well
~ nded, for certainly no crowd has
been IN authority in Mexico CITY since
| the days OF Madero that were as
progressive and as competent as those

every circumstane points To ire
mendous revival Of business in all
lines Already large numbers Of Am
erican commercial travellers and in
vestors have arrived on the ground
and It seems safe prediction that
within year or two, our foreign
trade with Mexico will be much in eX
cess OF the figures Of 10 years ago.
Peace and safety now reign IN that
country. with every reasonable assur-
ance Of continuance. and it behooves
the American investor and business
man to step livelyl and take advan-
tage Of Mexico's invitation 70 assist
in her development, before other ma
tions secure the preferred position
there. This applies with peculiar i'm.
portance and force to the oil busi-
ness, in which, it would seem. there
is destined TO be a gigantic fight
waged among the nations for control
of sources of supply.

as It is In this country. Several good
hotels are in operation in Mexico
City and the place Is flooded with
tourists and excursionists, as in the
days before the revolutionary period.
There is also Pullman connection be-
tween Houston and the Tampico
oil fields, and between the latter and
Mexico City. The only drawback
to n trip TO the oil fields of Tanpico
every circumstance points to tre-
ton In that city. Iiying conditions
in Tampico are on very expensive
scale. but wages there are in pro-
portion. Even the Mexican unskilled
workman, who elsewhere in Mexico
earns a daily wage OF fifty centavos
to one and n half peso. at Tampico
receives from three pesos to four
and a half pesos per day. 1t may be
said that living expenses in the re-
public in general are somewhat higher
than in former peace times and the
poems ''frijoles" (beans) now cost
him around 20 centavos per pound
which is nearly Il one hundred per
cent increase over prices OF 10 years
ago. Considerable evidence of the
destruction by the contendins armies
and bandits, is to be noted almost
at every hand. EXCEPT in tho larger
cities, il seems as If there arc few
railway stations that are not standi''
in ruins and the warped steel and
iron of bridges and other public
works may occasionally be seen a
beginning towards reconstruction has
already been made with a tim, and
