FUTURE OF KANSAS
COURT INDUSTRIAL
RELATIONS ASSURED

Topeka, Kans., July 25.-After a
year and half OF operation, the fu
Iuc OF the Kansas court of industrial
relations seems assured, Gov. Henry
]. Allen declared in statement to-
day.
Each of the twenty eight orders
and judgments of the court rendered
thus far has been accepted by both
sides of the controversy, excepting
the last, which is now pending on
appeal before the state supreme court
Governor Allen said Employers and
employees alike are coming to regard
the court as an upto-date method for
settling industrial disputes
The result in the coal mining dis.
trict has been most striking Under
conditions created by the Industrial
court last year, the miners were en-.
abled to work 80 per cent more than
the year before, with the resultant
increase in production of fuel for the
public ana wages to the miners.
Interest in the Kansas remedy for
industrial war is becoming world
wide. The pressing need for similar
legislation in other states has become
apparent, and many are preparing to
follow the lead of Kansas in provid
ing for justice in labor troubles.

RURAL CITIZENS
SLOW TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE FREE
POSTAL DELIVERY

AS strange as it may seem, there are
at the present time possibly more than
a hundred residents who live on the
outskirts OF the city, who make daily
journeys to the postoffice for their
mail rather than make use Of the
rural free delivery according to a state
ment made by Postmaster Hobson. Mr..
Hobson states that it is only necessary
for the people living in territory ad-
jacent TO Ardmore to provide them-
selves with boxes, and their mail will
be delivered to them at about $50
o'clock each morning.
Many of the persons who could make
use of such delivery, he states, are
either unaware of the service which
is theirs for the asking or else lack
the $3.50 which the boxes cost. The
carriers are at the present time in
forming the rural residents OF the de
livery methods.
IF these people would supply them.
selves with boxes" states Mr.. Hob
son, sit would greatly aid in relieving
the congested condition which exists
every now and then at the general
delivery window"

secretary Of the Retail Merchants

many people come here from nearby

The purpose Of the local merch.

ONE REEL YARNS
The LAW AGAINST GIRLS

Timothy King was an ordinary look
ing chap Of average size, but he was a
horn leader. He belonged to a gang
which he ruled so definitely and abso-
lutely that it was universally known
as Timothy Kings gang"
This gang lived and moved In ac-
cord with laws laid down by its in
dornitable leader. This legal code was
brief and strict. It included law
against girls. They were taboo; to no.
tice them was disgrace; to speak to
them. ostracism. The girls in the
neighborhood knew it, too. They
avoided that horrible gang"
The New Girl
But one day in the summer new
girl moved into a big house right in
the middle of the gangs district She
didn't know the gang; she didn't Know
the girlst she didn't know any better.
She was friendly and very pretty. She
wanted to get acquainted.
Timothy was out testing his strength
throwing stones from the road to a
vacant lot, when the insolent new
conner came along for the first time
She stopped with admiration.
My, but you can throw stones far.
I've never seen any boy do so well"
Timothy Doubts Wisdom Of Rule
Timothy growled and sped away
Still. he couldn't forget 1t. The more he
thought about those words, the more
he was convinced that he had found an
exception to his rule--a white sheep in
race Of black
Strangely enough, next day, when
the friendly little newcomer had again
gone past to the grocery, Timothy felt
an urgent impulse to improve his skill
In stone throwing. He was doing val
iantly when slight rustic stopped
him. She was returning.
"Oh, look at that onel You're throw
ing them even farther today. like a
fellow who sticks at something till he
can do it better than anybody else"
The New Girl and the Gang
Then came day when the whole
gang happened along Just as the new
conner started down town. She-pre-
sumptuous thing-walked right into
their midst. Hello, bobs," she said
smiling directly at Timothy.
Say, don't get fresh with us"
shouted the loudest gangster as he
picked up a handful OF sawdust and
threw it in the air above the girl
Then the miracle happened. Timo-
thy started to spit fire like a machine
gun. Half the gang were on the ground
before they realized it. The loudest
member was conscious Of dust being
crammed into his eyes and mouth.
After this want this gang 10 be
decent 10 girls" The law had been
changed.

OKIAHONLA'S GREATEST YEAR.

This is Okhhoma's greatest year.
The state has harvested wheat
crop of fifty million bushels, it is
growing more than twice that volume
OF corn, oats are so plentiful that the
little town Of AchIle IS offering oats
at 15c bushel and there are no
sales. Cotton is growing fine and is
( fruiting nicely and unless the insects
destroy the crop it will make a boun-
uful harvest Farmers state that the
weevil is not as active as it has been
and it is believed that a crop will be
raised. Cotton growers need not be
discouraged at this time for the rea-
son that the plant can put on and
mature good crop between the mid.
die OF August and the middle of Sep
tember. Cotton can promise less and
do more than any other crop raised
in this country and let US hope that
this year will be one when little is
promised but much is given. Melons,
small fruits, cantaloupes, vegetables
and peaches here have made bountI
ful crops. Sweet potatoes are coming
on with promise Of a big yield AL
falfa and prairie hay have done all
that could be desired Of these two
crops. Nature has been bountiful
In her gifts and only man has done
wrong. Our financial system is
not behaving we'll Cheap money is
getting to be high money and in the
Change that IS taking place values are
said to be shrinking. The real truth
is that money is getting higher. Those
who lived here in 1911 and 1912 when
on many fine farms not a grain OF
corn was raised and when other crops
failed will not be afraid TO face low
prices for they realize that the coun-
Try is well supplied with all it needs.

NEW TAXI SERVICE
HERE ON PAR WITH
NEW YORK CITY

One of the outstanding developments
in Ardmore during the current month
was the improved Yellow Taxi Service
and Bus Line installed by A. F. Cisco
Of the Cisco Transfer Company With
this feature. Ardmore has a livery
service that is not only ahead Of cities
three and four times its size, but also
one which is offered the public at a
lower cost than prevails in big metro
politan cities of the north and east
The yellow taxi cabs, which convey
patrons from the hotels to the depots
and vice versa and from depot to
depot, is offered at the same low
rate as the ldal jitneys 1t is the
same model tati as Chicago and New
York have. The service is also extend
ed throughout the city, and to distant
towns and cities, at the nominal rates
prevailing over local service cars.
The company, which has three of
these taxis, is located at 207 East
Main street. Mr.. Cisco has been es.
tablished there for several years. His
Improvement was made about 10 days
ago when he installed the three yellow
taxis and an additional yellow bus
Probably the feature of the innova.
ton here, from the viewpoint of the
public at large. is the bus. It is a
White car with cross seats, offering
the same comforts and convenience as
new model street car. The bus is
equipped with press push buttons to
signal the operator for a stop, and has
five dome lights. Its seating capa.
city is Is. The seats are cushioned
and leather upholstered.
The bus was bought through the
Ward Motor Company at a cost Of S.
O0O The body is made of white ash
and oak. It is enameled yellow and
black on the same plan as the taxis.
Entrance Is through the right front as
on all improved busses and the door is
operated by lever at the chauffeur s
right
Service on the bus line is from the
company's stand, near the Main Cafe.
TO Wilmington Park. The fare is the
same as that on the present bus line.
Additional busses to the park will be
installed in the future in the event
traffic justifies Mr.. Cisco said.
The bus is capable of a life varying
from 10000 miles to 100000 according
to the management Of the Ward Motor
Company. A bus recently played up
by the White people showed a record
OF 100000 miles and it was reported
to be in good condition today, accord
ing to this company's agent. The car
VIII take the bumps and railroad
tracks as gracefully as a Pullman car
runs along the rails, according to Mr.
Cisco. 1t is claimed as one of the
most improved busses in the country.

Shanghai, July 26.-Following upon
outbreaks Of mutinous soldiers in
which several hundred Chinese were
killed, property worth millions was de-
stroyed and large portions of two i'm
Iortant cities were burned, a wave
of general alarm spread swiftly
through all the length of the great
Yangtsze valley in the month of June
and while measures Of various kinds
were being discussed at Peking, COM
munities along the Yangtsze were
adopting measures TO defend them
selves.

first detection Of Chinese troops took
place in the province Of Hupeh and
at Ichang, city Of about 10000 in
habitants located a thousand miles
from the coast Six months before. in
November last, the Ichang garrison
mutinied and after an attack on the
city in which about 60 Chinese were
killed the soldiers looted a part
OF the city and burned down portions
OF il.
In the second outbreak which began
on the night Of June 4, more than a
hundred persons were shot down by
the soldiers, virtually every Chinese
home and shop in the city was looted
and a determined effort was made TO
destroy the entire city by fire. Several
foreign business establishments were
looted and burned and an attack was
made upon the residence OF the Japa
nese consul.
The outbreak OF last November de
veloped, according 10 report. because
the soldiers had been unpaid FOR
period Of months. Reports from up the
Yangtsze say that the recent mutiny
grew out Of conflicts between opium
raiders and soldiers who have been
traffichng in the drug.
Two American companies that suf-
fered loss In the recent uprising are
the Standard oil Company whose az
encies were looted and the Robert DOL
