mandlng greatest interest In stephens
county. accoriing TO reports brought
back by oil men who have recently
visited that territory. The reports
state that the Coline people have sew.
eral wells north and east OF produc.
ton on top Of the 1900 foot sand. the
results OF which after they ate drillcl

STATE TEACHERS
ARE UNPREPA AIRED
Many Have no Professional
Training, Roach Says:
Method is v aSte of State
and County Funds.

DURANT.-Out of 5000 teachers
least 2,777 OF them had only third
grade certificates, according TO state
ment issued by viii Lloyd Roach,
graduate of Southeastern State Teach
ers' College, 1911,
Practically one-third of the teach
ers Of the state are teaching without
adequate preparation, according to
Mr.. Roach. Many teachers have had
no professional training and in learn
ing how TO teach they follow the
trial and error method which causes
waste of public funds, inefficiency
in the schools and gives boys and
girls inferior training"
Educators are trying to get peo-
pie to realize that education is sci
ence and requires as much preparation
for its best positions as does any 9TH
er profession.
In 1920, there were $50 graduates
from Oklahoma normal schools. OF the
graduating class Of the University or
Oklahoma in 1920 about 40 per cent
or over one hundred taught school
the following year. In 1921 there~were
464 two.year grammar grade certifi-
Gates issued TO graduates of normal
training high schools.
oklahoma is still importing teach
ers from other states" said Mr.. Roach.
I'VE have our own training schools
for teachers, so why not furnish our
own teachers?"

NEW YORK We are sitting far
enough from the war now TO laugh
at the comedy fashioned from its
shambles. But even the film version
of Three Live Ghosts" like the stage
version is touched with tragedy,
touch that one seeks to disregard
even as he disregards the ludicrous
amuses him.
The story, as you will recall If you
are familiar with Frederic lsham's
stage play, deals with the fortunes of
three Tommies who learn upon re-
turning to England that they are Of
ficially dead.
In the trio is an American involved
in love affair and a villainous plot
to keep him from his beloved, Spoofy
who lost his memory through shell
shock and Jimmy Gubbins, Lime
House rough-neck.
These three are as loyal to each
other as the famous three musketeers
IN their fortunes and misfortuncs which
range from the hospitality of a White
Chapel hovel and arrest for robbery
and kidnapping to a reunion in a
lords mansion.
All of the situations are developed
with rapid-fire comedy. The first au-
diences TO see the film at the Rivoli
in New York were a.titter from start
to finish. Many Of these laughs sprang
from a spritely set of sub-titles.
To tell the story in detail might
mar it's effect for those who will learn
it for the first time when they see
it on the screen, However. this writer
recommends Three Live Ghosts as
one of the finest comedies ever pro-
jected upon the screen.
George Fitzmaurice produced the
film in London. The scenario is the
work of Ouida Bergere and the pho
Biography by Arthur Miller. ace Of
American cameraman.
F'itzmaurice and Miller have been
responsible for many artistic films
Peter lbbetson," for instance.
Anna Q. Nilsson and Norman Kerry
are the featured players but acting
honors go to Cyril Chadwick in the
role Of "Spoofy."

IRA RINEY LOCATES STILL
AND LANDS THE OWNERS
Held Two Men With Shotgun Until
Officers Arrived to Take Them
Off His Hands

Ira Riney and wife and V. X. Gilbert
made trip to Mr.. Riney's farm in
Stevens county Thursday and found
that the place was being used as a
distillery. Not only this but he held
the manufacturers of the fire water
until the officers arrived and took
them into custody.
The party, two men. a woman, and
little girl had taken possession of
the place without due notice and set
up their business. They had previous
ly approached Mr.. Gilbert about occu-
plying the house, but he referred them
to Riney. They overlooked this for
mality and moved in. When Riney
went to the place Thursday he sus-
picioned something and upon investi-
eating found four barrels of mash in
the cellar. He had shotgun in the
car, so he got it and ordered the occu-
pants of the place into the house and
held them while Mrs. Riney went to
the nearest phone to get word to the
officers.
While waiting for the officials the
woman sneaked out, went to the cellar
turned over two barrels of the mash,
put some boards on the oil stove and
turned it up as high as possible.
The party consisted of A. w. Reg
Ter, and wife and five year old girl,
and Horace, Garrett. They were TAX
en- to Hugoton where the bunch was
fined $125 for vagrancy, which was
pail, but they were then picked up by
Texas county authorities, Reiger on
a whiskey charge, and Garrett on
bad check charge.
Riney made search for the still but
did not locate it until Thursday when
he found it in a straw stack on the
place. 1t is quite comical to hear Riney
tell the details of the investigation.
The bunch were good story tellers,
but when they told about spading up
ground for flowers in January, Rineys
goat was confisticated. Their stories
were so crude that there is no doubt
ing their guilt.
