"A ERTY'S course in relation to
war contract frauds and his alleged
connection with the securing Of
Charles w. Morse's release from the
Atlanta p~enitentlary continue to sup
ply the "warmest" of the news from
Washington. Senator Caraway of Ar
kansas is the most persistent of those
attacking Daugherty, and the latter
made the assertion that the senator
was actuated to throw a screen about
men guilty of war frauds. To this
Caraway responded with a challenge
to the attorney general daring him to
bring about a congressional ~investiga-
ton to determine the truth of his
charges. Said the Arkansan:
81 defy Daugherty to ask the senate
to pass a resolution for an investiga-
ton. If he does not do it, he stands
convicted before the public as the
man who has entered into a corrupt
agreement to defraud the government,
although he is the attorney general !;
and if his party will not let him be
investigated his party must take the
responsibility for not doing it. He
said certain things were true. I say
when he said it that ne uttered a will

spells" last week and tried his best
to get into a fist fight with Senator
Phipps of Colorado. Watson was angry
over Phipps' action in regard to GER
tain Georgia postoffice nominations
and during a session of the senate he
began a furious verbal attack on the
Coloradoan. They then went outside tho
main doorway and Watson roundly
cursed Phipps, shouting: IF you will

your face in with my fist" Phipps, de-
Ginning the challenge to combat, called
a sergeant-at-arms, and the raging
Watson was led away by Senator Nc

THERE was a prospect last week
l. that the German PREPARATIONS crisis,
due on May 81, would be averted. The
allied Preparations commission was
considering offering Germany indef-
mite p-ostponement of the ultimatum
date on condition that she accept es-
Sentially the commissions full pro
gram. Such an arrangement was
thought to be advisable in order to
give time to the international bankers
committee, which met Thursday in
Paris. -Four solutions of the interna-
tional loan problem were presented to
the bankers at their opening session.
]. p. Morgan submitted what he
termed the American plan, and the
others were offered by Sir Robert
kindersley, one Of the governors of the
Bank of England; Charles Sargent,
former French un~dersecretary Of f.
nance and president Of the Banoue de
PUnion Parisienne, and DIR. G.. WISER
Ing, president Of the Netherlands bank.
The sessions were private and the pub
lie was not given any hint of what
the plans were. However, 1t was under
stood to be the opinion of the fnan-
ciers that If any loan to Germany were
arranged, it must be very large, prob
ably at least a billion dollars. It also
seemed likely that j. would be neces-
sary, in that case, for Belgium to sur
render partially her priority on Ger

themselves evenly divided between

policies and McCumber's plan for GER
tiicates OF which the service men
could borrow. 1t was thought for a
time that President Harding might ex-
press a preference, but he evidently
was determined the senators should
extricate themselves as best they might.
Then the Republicans decided to call
in the Democratic members Of the
committee to aid in drafting a bill. 1t
was said the Democrats rather favored
the McCumber plan.

"HELLO KEVIN."

People living in Kelvin or its ter
ritory will not be surprised at the
appearance of the first issue of its
first newspaper, and those others liv-
ing away at a distance will soon
learn hat the "home town" of the
great Sweet Grass Arch oil strike
is of Importance now and with in
creasing rapidity assume the pro-
portions of an oil city.
The Kelvin Courier is the result
of the need and the demand for a
newspaper here, and it's editor and
publisher, with over a score of years
experience as printer, editor and
publisher, will attempt to fill the
need and meet the demand in a most
adequate way. The abbreviated
size of the present issue is explain
ed elswhere and we ask the indulg-
ence of our readers and advertisers
until we can issue from our own
plant. M
But the size is not the virtue of
either a town, a man or a newspaper.
and as Kelvin was not much for size
when on March IA, 1922, Mother
Earth revealed the secret of her
treasure here, it is going TO out
grow many a larger place within
the space of months. We have like
hope for the Courier.
The Courier will be independent
in that it's n and only mission as
a newspaper, covering of course,
Kelvin and it's immediate territory
first and such adjacent districts as
are directly connected with this vast
nrOSnectiya oil field and tho farm
ing and ranching interests as well.
We respectfully solicit the liberal
support of everyone interested in
the business and the development
of this town, country and field. ana
and promise on our part to srv and
merit such support.

truthfully tell of them as we'll as

ment of one Of the best country news

state is the best evidence that our
optimism as to the growth of town
and territory is sincere and we think
anyone is very likely to win by care

THE COURIER

The Courier's temporary Office is
located on the Main street, desk room
afforded in the Office of Fredrickson
& Shaw until the newspaper shop
and office now being arranged for is
erected. With faith in the future
of Kelvin the publisher of The Ccur-
Ter has planned from siaca the time
of Ike discovery of oil here to put in
an up-to-the-minute newspaper and
job plant, with power machinery and
typesetting machine, and has been
here, since the last week of April
awaiting only the favorable outcome
of matters, now settled, that tended
to retard development. With the
good citizens of Toole county and
thousands outside who are interest
ed in the field the editor joins and
will work for that progress which
VIII make the prosperity of all.

The Courier is keen on Kevin--as
is every man who has been here
knows the possibilities OF oil devel-
opment in this field.
The discovery we'll and the pre-
sent prospects for field and Kelvin
are the result of the faith and work
of a few men and those who believed
in them--the future of the field and
town will be the result of the faith
and work of thousands. Not only
Kelvin but numerous prosperous
cities within the Sweet Grass Arch
are only a short ways away. Count

We are now chiefly dependent up

succeeding year affords signs of the
expansion of the orange growing in
dustry in that country. There were
early consignments received last year
which suggested premature shipment.
and they were the subject of criticism
that was not always favorable. But
the fruit that has arrived so far this
season shows a marked Improvement.
increased care has been exercised in
grading, and the oranges are more
attractive in color and better in quail
ity than was the case last wear. At
tenticn to these matters are worth
while in country where the indus
try connected with the growing Of cit
rus fruits is likely to become much
more extensive than it is at present.
THE requirements of overseas mar
kets are being more closely studied.
and improved results are apparent, not
only in the early consignments of or
anges but also in the grapefruit. With
the number of American visitors it is
unfortunate that this member of the
citrus family is not more prominent.
Even if the South African product has
not quite the flavor of the fruit grown
in Florida, that it is very acceptable
is shown by the fact that it has realiz-
ed good prices, and the limited sup
