mystery MAN"
is IDENTIFIED

Oklahoma's mystery man. who for
four years baff1ed efforts of American
Legion and Red Cross officials to es-
tabIish his identity. has been recog-
nized as Arthur Lttleswift Frazier of
Winner, S. d. incidentally by his iden-
LITIGATION, he may receive $1,000 In
back pay due him from the govern
ment, and a Legion post named in his
honor will have to seek another hero
to commemorate.
Frazier, or Green, as he was known
then, was discovered in the woods
near Ponca City, Okla, existing on
berries and roots, living in tepee con
structed principally of remnants of an
American flag. He was taken in charge
by the authorities and on recommends
ton of the American Legion was sent
to government hospital, as he had
established the fact that he was a
World war veteran.
Then began long quest for clues to
his identity. Every relief agency and
government bureau exhausted itself
in efforts to learn who the man was.
but to no avail He was positively
identified" ON several occasions by
various persons only to show no signs
of recognition when put TO test.
In the meantime. back in the South
Dakota town where he had lived, his
parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Frazier
received official notice from the gov
eminent that their son had been killed
in action in the Argonne late in 0cto-
Der, 1918. He was mourned as dead,
and in order to pay him full respect,
a post of the Legion was named in
his honor.
BY chance a Legionnaire residing in
Winner saw photograph of the Okla
homa mystery man, as he was known,
because he had no recollection of his
past, and the parents went to Musko-
gee to identify the man. There, he
was claimed as their son, and they
returned to the Dakota home.
If this man was Frazier, then he was
entitled TO back pay because he had
never been discharged from the serv-
Ice. Compensation checks sent him
were fraudulently cashed in Chicago
at one time.
Because Frazier is suffering not only
from his mental disability but tuber-
culosis FASTENED by the poisonous
gases and exposure, his Legion friends
appealed to the Veterans bureau for
aid. He was sent to Minneapolis,
where he was met by two comrades.
and he recognized both of them i'm
mediately as ''buddies" in his overseas
outfit. Both said the man had served
in the same Minnesota guard unit with
which they served in France, and testi-
fed TO their belief that he was Frazier.
The man has no recollection of any OF
his previous life, save dog, who had
been his companion in earlier days,
and who apparently recognized him
the moment he set foot in the Frazier
home.

Why Pay
the Penalty of
Lying Awake?

"A EANY people spend hours at
Nl night, restlessly tossing from
side to side, waiting for sleep. All
because they drink coffee with their
evening meal.
If the caffeine in coffee irritates
your nervous system and keeps you
awake when you should be asleep,
recuperating your energies, why not
stop coffee and drink Postum?
Postum is a pure cereal beverage,
absolutely free from caffeine or any
thing that can disturb health and COM
fort. Many prefer Postum for its de-
lightful aroma and flavor.
If you want to know the truth,
change to Postum for month or SO,
and see how much better you will
sleep and feel.

NEW BRIDGES OVER CANAL

Three new bridges are to be con-
structed over the Chesapeake & Della
ware Canal.
The bridges will be located one
each at st. Georges and Summit,
Delaware, and one at Chesapeake
City. They all provide for highway
traffic of particularly heavy nature,
such as would include modern heavy
mobile artillery, and are designed to
be of the vertical lift type. -
The clear span is 175 feet in the
case of the St. Georges and Sum-
NIT bridges and is 24O feet at Chesa-
peake City. The vertical clearance
above mean low water with the lift
span raised is 140 feet. Founda-
tions of the principal piers are car
ried down to 40 feet below mean low
water to provide for future enlarge
ments of the canal. The foundations
are in part pneumatic and in part
open dredging. Abutments are sup
ported on piles.

PRIMARY ELECTION ON
MAY 5

The primary in Maryland on May
will be Statewide. President Cool
idge's entry has compelled this. He
already has enough delegates to make
his nomination assured, but as he
did not withdraw his name in Mary
land it will be necessary to hold the
primary election in every voting pre-
cinct in the State.
In Cecil the name Of President
Coolidge only will appear upon the
Republican ballot, voters having the
right to mark for an uninstructed
delegation. Jerome E. Brumfield,
Joshua Clayton, Henry M. McCul-
Tough and William Rutter are unop-
posed for Convention delegates and
likewise Harry T. Phoebus, of Somer-
set county, Republican candidate for
nominee for Congressman.
AS no Democratic Presidential can
didates have filed and Congressman
Goldsborough is unopposed for re-
nomination, Cecil Democrats will
choose between candidates for Con-
vention gates:-George B. Con-

PRESBYTERY TABLES ELIlTON
CONTROVERSY

The spring meeting of the New
Castle Presbytery was held in the
First Presbyterian Church, New
Castle, Tuesday. An effort was
made to get the factional fight in the
Elkton Presbyterian Church, before
the Presbytery, but the matter was
disposed of when DR.. Charles L.
Bonner, of Wilmington, introduced a
sweeping motion to lay the Elkton
matter in all it's phases upon the
table for this session at least. The
motion carried 25 to 21.
A report of the minutes of the Elk
ton Church, read by Rev. w. S. Kre-
ger, brought out the fact that last
November, twenty-six members of
Elkton Church were requested to ap-
pear before the session of the church
to answer charges of non-support and
nen-attendance. Failing to appear,
they were cited to appear a second
time and upon another refusal they
were tried, found guilty, and sus-
pended.
In giving reasons for their delin-
quency, the members claimed that
they absolutely objected to attending
the church in Elkton as long as Rev.
John McElmoyle occupied the pulpit,
" in defiance Of this Presbytery and
the General Assembly; Cecil DEM
ocrat.
