Man Left Standing Naked, but
Strength Had Kept Him
From Injury.

Berlin, Conn.-James Durkee had a
most miraculous escape from death
while saving up a load of hickory
wood, using a circular saw which was
operated by gasoline engine.
He left the machine running, and
while bending over to remove the
sawdust the front of his clothing was
caught in the machinery and was pull
ing him into the machine when he
caught hold of the platform and held
on for dear life.
It was super-struggle, but Durkee
managed to hold on to the platform,
while his clothing was wound up in
the machine. He wore an overcoat,
a dress coat, sweater, shirt and I'M

DOG STANDS GUARD 8 DAYS
Keeps Long Vigil on Sweater That
Master Told Him to
Watch.

Charles City, La.-"As faithful as a
dog" has been fOrcefully brought to
the attention of this community by the
faithfulness of the dog owned by Har-
ry Uhe.
Uhe went to his farm to fell some
trees and laid a heavy sweater on the
ground previous to engaging in his
work and babe the dog, which had
accompanied him, to watch the
sweater.
The young man had his right leg
broken by a falling tree and was taken
to his home. The dog was faithful to
his trust, and three days later passers-
by found him still "on guard" appar-
emily not having forsaken his post nor
broken his long fast.

brother:
Between Sierra Leone and SekOndi
we steamed through, for over an hour,
a blood-red sea and saw hundreds of
whales dead or dying on the surface
of the water. Some were just able to
move slowly along; few, if any,
could move quickly. There must have
been sanguinary battle, SUPP osed to
have been put up by swordtish.

the extent of the bloody expanse must
have represented the death of many
more whales than were visible. No

heard of anything approaching such
a spectacle before"

Zinser of Philadelphia, from one end
| of the earth to the other in an effort
to break down the barrier he has
placed between them and win him for
her own. William, on the other hand,
doesn't want her. and is doing every
thing possible to keep out of her
sight. =
Beatrice has twice detied the United
States government in forcing her atten-
lions upon Zinser. That many times
she has been depcrted from the United
States, after first being arrested and
placed in cell, but each time she de-
clared she would come bach again. and
Zinser each time found her declaration
was only toe true.
Flew TO Him Once.
On one occasion she paid an aviator
500 to carry her across the Canadian
border in order that she might journey
tc the home city of her adored one.
The next time, if she finds it neces-
sary, she will come in submarine, she
says. Her deathless affection. coupled
with tears Md entreaties. have failed
to move William, whose only wish is to
be rid of the girl who would force her
love on him.
The case of the Toronto girl is de-
clared by alienists to be the straagest
in history. They declare she is an I'M
usually well educated and brilliant
woman, and in most respects has
splendid mind. She discusses scien-
, tifc and political subjects with an
air of certainty. Noted alienistS do
not know of anything that will cure
this victim of love hysteria.

detriment to their private interests in
the building OF such community
center, but we expect to go in backed
by every real publc-spirited citizen,
every educator, every minister, and
every broad-minded thinker who
knows the power for good or evil of
public opinion. We expect to sell
the idea to every business man as a

adequate hall downtown will mean a
doubling of the annual number of

Of trussing up personal liberties let
us rise to propose rigid statute re-

the said requirement. With the sole
purpose Of accenting the fact that
Miss Matthison is just about the per-

LEGION ASKS FOR
CONVENTION HALL
Expect to Ask City to Vote Bonds
In Amount of $4,000; To circu-
late Petition Early Next Year;
outline Advantages.

A campaign was launched Thurs.
day night by special committee of
the Raymond 7. Hurst post, Amer
lean Legion, with a view to calling
a special city election early in 1923
for the purpose of voting $4,000 con.
vention hall bonds.
This committee is composed of Jed
Johnson, chairman; Ben Goff, vice
chairman, f. M. Allen, secretary
treasurer, =. Brightwell,, publicity
director, Wade LaBoon and Frank
j. Linden.
A thorough investigation is to be
made by this committee, assisted by
technical experts. looking to an ex-
act determination Of the city's needs
before any petition for such election
be circulated.
'Chickasha is not realizing her
destiny" said member of the COM
mittee this morning, largely due to
the fact that she has never yet
provided for community needs in the
establishment of community center
and popular forum in the form of a
common public meeting place as may
be provided in an adequate conven-
tion hall.
I'm this one respect Chickasha is
far behind other cities of the state
of similar size. In fact there is no
other city in the state with the pop
ulation of Chickasha which is not
provided with a downtown conven-
tiOn hall.
ENID is city in our class which
has just completed a commodious
convention hall. Other cities with
less population have provided similar
conveniences.
students of social economy have
long insisted that no town, whatever
its opportunities, can realize with ef-
ficiency on the power of the COM
munity for self-help and general de-
velopment without first developing a
cohensive community life. This is
impossible without the proper facili-
ties. The first step is a community
center.
Eve do not exrect this movement
to be realized with avidity at first.
The only argument we anticipate
having weight against it, however, is
that stock alibi that taxes are al
ready too high. When the proper
