CERR0 G0RDO WINS
Defeated Locals Friday by Score of
 5 to ? in Pretty Game.

Cerro Gordo defeated Ashdown Fri
 day by score of 3 to in che of the prettiest games of the year on
 the local diamond. Ogden was pitch for the locals. So far as the locals
 were concerned it was a case of too much MT. Ogden. He had the locals
 eating out of his hands for eight scoreless innings. For eight innings he gave up only one hit, and that was in the second when Jake Cobb hit for two bags, but did not score. The bal ance of the time it was one, two, three. Ashdown put over two scores in the ninth. Lambright was up and hit safely, Tiffin was struck by ball and went to first advancing Lam- bright Hemphill hit and scored Tiffin and Lambright. Loflin sacrificed and grover Cobb struck out. Ogden struck out fourteen men. Ashdown fans are sure Cerro Gordo has a pitcher and catcher. Few of the other men on the team had an opportunity to show what they could do Cerro Gordo in the first inning and in the eighth got in two more runs. Lambright's slow ball would have won an ordinary ball game. He was scored On in only two innings and gave up only eight hits His team was working behind him. The few errors made were mostly technical and not costly. Brannon played a star game on second.

This will be the last week of the campaign and Monday will De the very last day before the big elimination day opens. Everybody is out hustl- ing, some to hold what they have gain ed and to gain few more. Nothing new has developed that will have a bearing on any of the races and tend to cause shifts in strength. The fel- lows who have been holding off to see where the various races lay will now begin lining up with one candidate or another, and this is the vote that the candidate will seek to attract this week. Then, there is that silent vote that no man can place now, or at any time before the votes are unted. It is the factor that may or may not up- set the dope pots and bring surprises when the returns come in All of which goes to show that no race is over until it is over and that the time
 to make hay is while the sun shines, and bGy, that is jus exactly what they are doing, also what the sun is doing.

ROAD HOGGING FATAL
Car Crowded Off Highway, Five Are
 Killed.

Detroit, July 30.-Crowded from the roadway by an automobile near Rayal Oak, a Detroit suburb, John w. Mur- phy, his two sons and two women guests, en route to Orchard lake for Sunday outing, were instantly killed today when their automobile was struck by an interurban car. The gas oline ignited, the car took fro and Murphy s'body was nearly cremated,
 As Murphy was aboot to pass the truck, laden with automobile bodies, a speeding touring car, whose driver is now being sought, swung alongside in an attempt to pass. In a desperate effort to avoid an accident, Murphy turned squarely on the right of way of the interurban. The motorman was in no way at fault

UNIVERSAL FOOD IN TROPICS
Many Varieties of the Bread Fruit Tree Are Scattered Throughout
 Southern Lands.

It is of interest to note the flour and biscuit of the tropics. There are a dozen different bread fruit trees scat tered throughout tropical regions. One of the Hours, made from the bread fruit tree of tropical America known as the yuka, is a regular article of commerce in the New York market. It is only sold in cartons at elite groceries, is quite a pure article, of a dingy, grayish-white color, and a slightly alkaline and hardly agreeable taste. In cooking that alkalinity and acridity are mostly driven out. In it's fresh form 1t Is in shape elongated like a giant plantain, and for drying and conversion into flour is cut down before ripening so that 1t has, like a green banana, not semblance of sweetness. But the same fruit, al- lowed to ripen fully, then sun dried, becomes almost as sweet as Smyrna fig. This tree-grown cake bread is eaten dried thus, and along with the tree-growing flour forms the chief food for millions in the trOpics.-New York Herald.

MIRRORS FROM PLATE GLASS
Process Is a Somewhat Complicated Ono and Calls for High
 Degree of Skill.

Mirrors are made from plate glass. The proper ingredients are mixed together and melted in large pots. The molten mass is then poured out on great iron tables and a heavy roller flatrens out the glass to the desired thickness. The sheets are then an- healed, which consists of heating them slowly in various chambers kept at different temperatures. This Is for the purpose of relieving unnatural strain in the formed glass, which makes 1t extremely brittle, so that . mere touch is sometimes sufficient to cause the plate to break. After the glass has been cut to the proper size the sheets are polished by rubbing over the surface pads or small disks until the finished product Is about half the thickness of the original. The glass is then ready to be used for show windows, or can be made into mirrors.
 The back of the sheet of plate glass is "silvered" In the early processes this did not mean what the word indi- cates, for no silver was used, but a mixture of tin and mercury. The high cost of mercury and the danger of mercurial poisoning brought about its replacement by silver, which is used in the form of lunar caustic. While silver is an expensive metal, the amount required to coat even large mirror Is so small that the cost Is of no moment

MEMORIAL TO ALLIES
Monument Bears Names of All Corps
 In the ArgOnne Battle.

Paris, July 30.-America' share in the Argonne fighting was recalled to- day, when a memorial to 150,000 men killed in the forests was unveiled at Haute Chevauche, near the ruins of Vauquoise. Premier Poincare deliv- cred the unveiling address.
 The monument bears the names of all French, American and Italian crops which participated in the fighting. The names of the battles also appear on it.
 The bishops of Chalons and Verdun officiated at the religious services. The former described the suffering and heroism of the French regiments the 32 American divisions and the IS Italian regiments who participated in the fighting there. Premier Poincare recounted the history of the Argonne fighting. He said:
 "On a day in September, 1918, the American army, taking it's part in the immense offensive organized by the French, joined hands with Gouraud, and contributed ardently to the libera- tion of the Argonne." He then con- cluded: Germany was responsible for the war. She ought to repair the evils she has done, Willingly or by force, she shall repair it

According 10 candidate ad cruising and news items the Ku klux are the center of all the political excitement at Little Rock and Pulaski county. So far as the innocent bystander can de- termine there seems to be no deep rooted principle involved, but 100 per cent klansmen seem to have in some instances been eliminated by the slate makers in selecting a ticket for en- dorsement Some of the unfortunat tes seem rather peeved along With some of the other boys not on the inside, out claiming to be able to stand all the tests of Democracy and Americanism It is producing much oratory of the perferved kind. In no other section of the state is there any indication that the klan as an order has entered politics, it being their understanding that the order is not a political or ganization However, the Pulaski campaign is furnishing splendid enter tainment to the rest of the state. The infection is not likely to spread to this section.

KHAN IS OKLAHOMA ISSUE
Declared 10 Have Prepared Slate for the Primaries.

Oklahoma City, July 29-With lines being drawn on economic issues and undersurface shifts on the Ku klux Klan question Oklahoma has entered into the final stages of one of the most tangled primary campaigns in the history of the state.
 Interest in the outcome of the three cornored race for the Democratic nomination for governor obscures the contest for Congress and state offices | in the Democratic, Republican and Socialist parties.
 The Ku Klux Klan issue has been brought forward recently with pub Ilication of slates purporting to have been issued by the organization. R. H. Wilson is marked in the alleged Klan lists as the right" candidate for Democratic gubernatorial nomina- tion; Thomas H. Owen is character ized as "fair," while the klan black lists Mayor Walton of Oklahoma City, the third candidate. Mayor Walton, a lifelong Democrat, has the endorse ment of the Farmer-Labor Recon- struction League, professed non partisan organization with a plat form characterized by the opposition as state socialism"
 Predictions are made by partisans that should Walton win in the pri- mary next Tuesday a powerful sec tion of the Democratic party will turn in the general election in Mo- vember to the support of John Fields, conceded to be the Republican choice for governor.
 The Ku Klux claims membership in the state of around 100000. Other organizations have been formed to combat the Klan. The voting force that the Klan may muster and the strength that the anti-Klan forces will throw into the voting Tuesday is problematical.

 that you are going to have to mark some of your friends off the ballot Tuesday.

REALISM OF THE HINDU

"The Hindu" in which Walker

theatre last night. is frankly a melo-
drama. with an oriental setting. 1t
Is a story of Scotland Yards opera
tons in India where it's agents are
trailing "A master mind" charged
with fomentlng revolution against
tue British government. There are
doors in the palace of a maharajah
that mysteriously open and shut, Sc
cret passages, contrivances that
transform an deliberately furnished
audience chamber into prison, a
deadly serpent in a box. pistol play
and other devices of melodramatic
sort that lend realism to the play
That it gripped the audience was
shown by the ordinations when the
pet snake of the bogus Prince lamar
thrust itself out of it's cabinet.
Ordinarily such a plot would be
more in keeping with the motion pic
ture screen or the magazines that
presumably publish fiction with a
punch" but this play is made inter-
esting and given artistic excellence
by the acting of Mr. Whiteside and
his company 1t is rather unusual
to see Mr.. Whiteside in such an en-
vet he succeeds in making
the part he plays realistic and alb
sorbing. Needless to say, he is
Prince lamar, presumably an Indian
with all the treachery and the arts
of the orient at his command, but
perhaps it would not be quite fair
to those who expect to see the play
to unfold the plot. The program re-
quests YOU to give your Imagination
full reign and not tell afterward. If
the probabilities are strained at
times, it is, after all, but make-be-
lieve and designed to entertain. "The
Hindu" accomplishes that purpose.
