STEPS TAKEN TO
PURCHASE LAND
FROM CHURCHES
Appraisers Must Be Named
Before Plaza Ground
Is Bought.

Initial steps for actual purchase
of the First Baptist and Second
Presbyterian churches on the War
Memorial plaza were being con-
sidered To-Day by county commits
sloners.
According TO the board president
John E. Shearer, three steps must
be taken by commissioners and
church delegated before negotiations
are completed They are:
Adoption of a declarative resolu-
ton by commissioners and church
trustees for an agreement between
churches and county.
Appointment Of appraisers, the
number of which has not been de-
cided.
Posting Of a thirty day notice to
taxpayers Tor submission OF remon-
strances and a public hearing. Is
suance Of bonds is the fourth step.
Whether either measure will be
undertaken immediately has not
been expressed by the board, al
though it was indicated there will
be delay.
we can't hurry into this pur-
chase without disregarding the SEN
timents Of some DIRECTORS, and
this is not our intention" Shearer
said.
Everybody has a right to be
beard, and we shall manage the
purchase so that there will be no
backlash" he said.

ASKS PROBE OF
COTTON MARKET
TIPS TO GROUP
Growers Aver Farm Board
Member Was Paid
$4,000.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. ia let
ter expressing the belief that Carl
Williams, cotton member of the
farm board, may have received
$4,000, "or at least part of it," for
furnishing the Oklahoma Cotton
Growers Association information
on the Cotton market, was received
today by the senate cotton price
investigation committee.
The letter, from E. r. Talley of
Magnum, Okla, declared growers
in his county would like to know
if the Oklahoma Cotton Growers
Association paid $4,000 for the
marketing information, who this
money went to-
1T is generally believed that Carl
Williams received this money or at
least part of it, possibly through
the American Cotton Exchange"
the letter added.
Talley enclosed letters from w. O..
Lawson and j. L. Powell, Magnum
citizens, i'll support of the charge.
The letter from Lawson said:
ION or about Dec. 16. 1929. I sent
you the following telegram: AT a
of the board of directors of
the Oklahoma Cotton Growers Asso-
citation in September, 1923, Carl Will
liam in talk said that he could
forecast the price of cotton not only
for the present year, but for the
next year. Said not to make this
public"
PoWell's letter said:
"On Mar. 10, 1929, I went into the
office of S. L. Morley, general man
ager Of the Oklahoma Cotton
Growers Association, with my sales
blanks and asked Morley
to fix the price on my cotton. He
said, or asked me if 1 had to have
the money then. told him that I
could wait a short time. He said
that if I would wait thirty or sixty
days that the price of cotton would
be "a or Is cents per pound.
This was according to the in
formation that he said he had, the
best information that could be had,
as it cost $4,000"
Moreley, the witness before the
denied his association
had paid Williams any money.

BRAND OF DRUNK
ON ATTORNEY
MahoIm LaShed in Court by
Collins for Action in
Murder Case.

attorney, who is under suspended
sentence for direct contempt Of
court, was "beastly intoxicated

to retire as counsel under penalty Of
fine and Jail sentence, and Alvah II.
Rucker, attorney, was appointed.
Rucker later withdrew and the law
firm of Clawson, Bonifeld & Ward
entered appearance for judi.
Questioned today by Collins, judi
asserted he did not want Maholm
as his attorney.
Frank E. Blackman, former law
partner Of Maholm, who appeared
as substitute" for the latter on
Dec. 16 in the second day of Judt's

Despite his previous declaration
that he had no interest in the judi
trial" Blackman today asserted he
had received more than half the
fees in the case" He filed a petit
ton today, setting forth his con-
nection.
Evidently there are two attorneys
before this bar who will not tell the
truth" Collins asserted.

hereditary? MRS. K"
The first thing I would do. MRS. K,
would be to take my girls to compe-
tent physician, preferably one who spe-
cializes in what We know as internal
medicine.
Simple engagements of the thyroid
gland, without any other symptoms,
are known as simple golfers. They
have been proved to be due to def
cheney of iodin In the foods or ewater,
or else to some intestinal condition that
has prevented its absorption. In dis
tricts were the vegetation and water
are known to be very low or devoid of
iodtn, these golfers are very common,
hence these regions are known as goiter
belts.
There is evidently greater need for
iedin during adolescence and during
pregnancy and nursing than at other
times. II the pregnant woman doesn't
get enough todfn, or, II for some reason
1t is not absorbed, she is liable to de-
velop goiter. and so is her baby. To
this extent we say it Is hereditary. al.
though the word congenital is the bet
ter term.
In the goiter belts it has been found
that the incidence Of goiter among
adoiescent children has been greatly re-
ouced by iodin medication or by the
use OF iodized salt, and very frequently
golfers that have already formed will
disappear. So see physician, Mrs, K.

Are you as eager to see that your chill
dren get the sort OF food that they
ought to have Is you are to see that
they do not get that which is bad for
them?
Sometimes parents are so eager TO
prevent their children from eating be-
tween meals, from eating candy and
unrtpe fruit, pastry and too much meat
that they do not take enough pains to
see that they get what they should
have. The very fact that your olald
leases for things that he should not
have Is perhaps an indication that he
Is not having quite all that his grow
ing system demands
Do you plan each meal for your chill
dren ahead OF time, asking yourself
whether it Is well balanced and salts
flying? This question should especially
be asked about dinner, which should be
the hearty meal Of the day.
Never let q day pass without includ-
ing in your children's diet some fresh
fruit or vegetables.

At dinner at the home Of Judge
Story, in Cambridge, Charles Sumner
was assigned to take out the most beau
tiful and charming woman present.
The man who was to become one of
the greatest lawyers and statesmen of
his day, the brilliant leader of the anti
slavery members Of the United States
Senate, was then only a student in the
Harvard Law School. He was noted for
nothing except one marked popularity
in young male. He took no interest
in the fair sex. He would desert the
loveliest girl In q moment to talk with
another man.
His dinner partner this evening had
been given him because of a bet. Her
friends had told her she wouldn't be
able to hold Summers attention Is
minutes.
"I wager I can" she retorted.
'Name the wager" they said. and,
amid laughter, an amount was agreed
upon.
The beauty displayed ali her gifts at

In regaining Summers attention. At

Universal surprise ruled, then. when,
on October II, 1855, Sumner, who was
S. years old, married Mrs. Alice Hooper
Of Boston.
Why did they become husband and
wife? 1t was question frequently
asked and as frequently unanswered.
Mrs. Hooper had inherited from her
-flrst husband, Russell Sturgis Hooper, q
liberal income, but his will had Stipu-
lated that If she married again she
would lose It. She was beautiful and

band In public. What ultimatum he
gave her Is not known She left him a
year after their marriage. Five more
years elapsed. Sumner sued for divorce,

If it were to be used in a hall, living

BY SALLY MONROE.

For the family of two or three, or
even four, roast beef sometimes seems
ike an mpoSStbility-SaYe when there
are enough guests to help devour It.
Some OF US may dimly remember the
day when what was left of a roast
was given to the laundress or the man
who worked in the garden to be taken
nome or--what appalling wastefulness!
was carried out to the kennels TO
serve as supper for faithful Rover or
good dog Sport. Now, even If we could
AFFORD such extravaganza, we would
feel that 1t was downright folly.
SO the problem reduces itself to one
OF palatable leftoyers. If YOU really
banker for beef roast once in a while,
go ahead and order one-a two-rib
roast Of quality. If you have it rolled
ask to have the bones sent home-as
these may be used for soup. stock. Do
not turn the roast in cooking and do
not cook 1t overmuch. In this way
you can leave one side fairly rare for
the second day.
The second day make slices of the
roast fairly thick-one for each one
to be Served-and broil them quickly
In gas broiler or over Goals. If there
Is any thickened gravy left from the
day before this should be reheated.
This Is known as London Broil." Cut
up the remainder of the meat, discard
ing gristle and fatty pieces, and put
ting the good meat through a meat
grinder. Simmer the discarded pieces
to make soup stock. When 1t has
cooled take OF the fat, clarity it and
use 1t for frying. The stock remaining
may, of course, be used as the founda-
ton for soup.
If you are going to keep the ground
meat for the following day it Is best
to put it in the top Of double boiler
and cook 1t If 1t is rare, because it
