Ruth, her mother and Susan we're

interested in-her coming college

Ruth knew now what the calm
sense Of happiness that had been
stealing over her had meant 1t was
the love Robert Turnbull felt for her
waking to life a response in her. But
never would she consent to give up
all for which she had so desperately
st1iven, no not even for him.
She did not try to deceive herself.
To hide the truth from her own con-
sciousness. She had told him the
truth when she said she cared more
for him than she ever had for any
man, but she had not admitted her
love for him. And she did love him
That she now knew
That night after the dinner with
him she sat the long night through
by her window. Not once did she re-
gret her decision, yet never had she
felt such a rush Of longing as swept
over her as thought of losing this
love had just come to her.
When morning came she was her
quiet self again. but she no longer
sang and whistled when at home,
Susan noticed. but. sensitive to any
thing that affected Ruth, she said
nothing save to humble 10 herself:
~ wish I knew who he was!"
Ruth had faced the most crucial
moments of her life with courage.
She faced this moment without
flinching-saye when alone. Her at
titude when she next met Robert
Turnbulf was exactly the same az be-
fore, save that had one watched her
closely they might have noticed her
smile came less often to her lips and
her eyes held a sadder look.
The summer was fastening by.
Ruth had absolutely refused vaca-

business. but one which needed all
the resources at her command to

Susan and Mrs. Browning were
deep in the clothes question, prepar-
ing Susans wardrobe for college.
Ruth had not stinted them. and Susan
was delighted that she was to so
away so well equipped.

Il never knew any one so unselfish
as you!" Susan exclaimed as she en-
braced Ruth.
Suddenly question flashed
through Ruth's mind.
Am | unselfish?"
Was she not very selfish as far as
Robert Turnbull was concerned? II
she were really unselfish would she
not give UP her ambitious dreams to
make him happy?

Now, Mr.. Editor, l notice
that your registration law has

that every voter should be reg

long as he remains in the pre-
cinct in which be registered.
An annual registration is annoy
ing and a permanent one is the
one that will give the best re-
suits and most of the states have
such a law. Registration guards
against certain fraudulent prac-
tices employed in many parts of
the country where no record of
legal voters are kept. / am not
acquainted with the provisions
of the act passed by your law
makers, but an attempt for a
permanent registration is a move
in the right direction as l see it.
/ believe that every voter should
be registered and pay a poll tax
as well, and if that measure pro-
vided such it would be in keep
ing with other states whose rec
ords for clean elections and fair
ness are not questioned. Again

umns, save a personal letter you
published a short time ago, but
with so many things to attend to
in the busy season the average
man will fail to use some of the
privileges he should enjoy and /
make no claims of being differ
ent to the general average in this
respect. 1t has only been a
short time since your Russell
Creek correspondent called for a
letter from me and since it is a
pleasure to meet any of his rea-
sonable requests, l am now try
ing to deliver the goods. We
are having seasonable weather
and crops of all kinds are good.
l have been over considerable
territory in this state within the
last month and every where l
have been abundant crops of ev-
cry thing grown in this state are
in evidence. This week l made
a trip to Chickasaw county
which joins this county on the
northwest, and l never saw finer
corn and cotton in any country
and especially corn. 1 attended
a meeting in that county it's OBJ
ject being to develop oil. Over
a year ago a company was form
ed and a hole was made over H.
800 feet, when some trouble in
the well forced an abandonment
of it, and the company being
without funds. dropped out en-
tirely. The driller employed re.
moved his rig a few feet and
proceeded on his own money to
put down a well believing in il
being good bet for his money.
He is an experienced oil man and
confidently expects to drill in a
good well in the near future. He
is now down 1885 feet. Stuff
cient money was raised by the
sale of leases and subscriptions
to carry on the work for a few
more weeks and it need not be a
surprise to hear from this well
being a good one. The driller
says that he has never had a
more fiattering prospect in any
field, judging from what he has
gone through. When the drill
hung in the first hole consider
able gas was encountered, and il
is his opinion that had he been
able to have gone a little deeper
a good well would have resulted.
l know nothing about the indi.
cations except what others tel
me, but with an unwavering re.
port from Biologists of reputa.
ton and from the driller who has
been successful in many of the
great producing fields, l fully
believe the completion of this
well will put this state on the oil
map of the country.

tion keeps us busy. Two crops

that it does not take expert

most desirable results. l have

To make a long story short will

SENATE AND HOUSE
FIX $4,000 ARMY
Conferees Agree on Reduction
of 5000 From Figures of
Upper Chamber.
10000 ABOVE THE LOWER
Action Taken Despite Warn
ing of War Department Re-
garding Limit of Safety.

WASHINGTON, June 17-House and
Senate conferees on the army appro-
priation bill reached a compromise late
to-day on an army of $4,000 enlisted
men for the next twelve months. This
represents reduction of 5000 from the
Senate figure and an increase of 10000
above that fixed by the House.
The House delegation refused to ac-
cept the Senate provision fixing a maxi
mum authorization of an army of 14o, 900
enlisted men, as well as the item ap-
propriating pay for $4,000 as passed
by the Senate. They were said to have
stood solidly against any provision
which would have permitted personnel
of more than 125,000.
War Department representatives de-
clared repeatedly In hearings on the bill
that to reduce the present authorized
strength of 10000 was to go below the
line of safety.
Decision as to the conference report
on the enlisted strength leaves only two
important sections of the annual supply
bill yet to be considered, exclusive of
the Muscle Shoals amendment apprQ-
priating $4,000 for a continuation OF
work on the Federal power project in
the Tennessee River. 1t already has

Information mas reached the grand
master that attempts are being made
By organizations and other persons con-
nected with the Ku Klux Klan to link up
the Masonic fraternity of Connecticut
with the movement.
Il am therefore writing you this
letter that you may explain to the lodges
and members in your district that the
official attitude of the Grand Lodge may
be found on page 26 OF the annual pro-
ceedings of 1922. wherein Grand Master
Cramer speaks of the duties and obliga-
tions of a Mason.
while it is the privilege of any
Mason to join any organization as long
as it does not violate the laws of the
land or his duty as a Mason. you will
say to the lodges that the grand master
deeply deplores any attempt to connect
the oldest and greatest fraternity in the
world with this so-oalled khan and that
all Masons are cautioned against any
relations or connections as such with

Senate Military Committee said that
only the items dealing with the officer
strength and the National Guard pro-
visions remain to be determined
IT was expected a reduction from the
number of officers fixed by the Senate
would follow the compromise as to en-
listed personnel. The House fixed

ficers. while the Senate amendment put
the officer strength at an average OF

amendments. Few OF them were re-

equally small number accepted with
