 Closed Oil Wells

days ago in every flush field in Oklahoma, closing the wells by force.
 The governor, in his proclama- tion, said oil and gas supplies in the vast field "are being unlaw- fully dissipated and wasted and the land and royalty owners are being robbed of their royalties by un- scrupulous and lawless producers, transporters, and operators"
 By reason of the reckless. un- lawful and criminal handling of producing wells" the 2.000 word proclamation added, water is be- ing rapidly drawn into the oil sands, thereby creating tremendu- ous physical waste of oil and more than one billion cubic feet of na- tural gas, rich in gasoline content
 The governors charged there ex- isted in the east Texas field "an organized and entrenched group of crude petroleum and natural gas producers who are In a state of instruction against the conserva- ton laws of the state, and are in open rebellion against the efforts of the constituted civil authorities of this state to enforce such laws.
 There is no possibility, the pro- clamation added, that sheriffs of the four countries placed under martial law could have sufficient force to "compel operators and producers" to obey the law.
 The proclamation named Brig Gen Jacob F. Wolters, commander of the 56th Cavalry Brigade, to enforce the martial law order.
 The possibility of any organized resistence to the governors order was considered negligible.

Providence, R. l., Aug 17-(UP) A motion under which James H. Roberts, former federal prohibi- ton under-cover man, would serve prison term at some institution other than Atlanta, was denied to-day.
 Roberts was sentenced recently to year and a day in Atlanta pen itentiary for complicity in the rob- bery of a government liquor ware house some three years ago.
 His counsel argued to-day that if Roberts were sent to Atlanta he would be subject to bodily harm from other men involved in the case who are imprisoned there. Federal Judge Ira Lloyd Let's, in denying the motion, voiced the opinion the defendants would be safe in Atlanta.

 Renews Appeal for Clothing

With the opening of school only three weeks away, the unemploy- ment relief committee was faced to-day with the great task of pro- vidlng clothing for several hun dred youngsters. Chairpnan Will liam M. Harris announced. that the Rowland Hughes company to- day had agreed to furnish goods at cost price to the unemployment forces so that it might be made into biouses and trousers for the many persons in the city showed their cooperation by sending in many articles of old clothing.
 This nede for the school chill dren is very great. in fact 1t rep resents one of the greatest prob- lens the committee has faced since the relief work was started" declared Mir Harris. He, there- fore, issued an appeal to every body with ol dclotning to send in everything they have so that re- modelling work may be carried on.
 There are fifty women working for the unemployed relief commit tee, MT Harriss explained. They will be busy from now on making new clothes out of the goods received from the Howland- Hughes com pany and also remodeling the old clothing sent in. Nothing is too old to be made over. Mir Harris stressed when making his appeal to-day.
 The financial condition of the unemployment fund was also made public to-day by MT Harris. Dur ing the past week, the report shows surprisingly, in a way, no dona- tions were received and the sub scriptions amounted only to &C., 180.72. Disbursement for the week amounted to $11,703.59. This indi- cates that the fund IS in a sorry

The coadjutor of the Episcopal diocese in this state takes the office of bishop upon the death, retireme mt or incapacity of the incumb bent Therefore, if Rev MT Mckee is named coadjutor bishop, he will in time become bishop of the state, it is felt.
 Rev MT Mckee served as curate of St Johns church for q couple of years. He was gradated from Yale in 1919 and from Yale Divin- ity school in 1921. He received an honorary degree of Master of Arts from Yale in 1922. n.
 During his time as chaplain at Yale he was successful in getting half million dollar endowment for the university's church. He be- came curate here directly after his graduation from the Yale Divinity school.
 Bishop Acheson at the present time is known to be in poor health and it is possible that he will re- tire soon after the coming conven- tio1 of the diocese.

Where else can you get as much fun, companionship, devotion and loyalty as from a dog, whether he be a show winner or just dog?
 For the growing boy or girl, a puppy is an ideal possession; the fact that the dog looks up to the child trustingly and obediently causes the child to play the part of the leader mad master and to be worthy of his confidence.
 All the things we have talked about in the previous articles of this series should be gone over often, but not to ooften at time Leave just a minute or two be- tween attempts. Do not tire the dog; do not attempt to go through too many lessons In one period. Two or three commands each day are sufficient. But stop work only on a successful performance. After a time, the dog will realize that he must keep at 1t until he suc- ceeds.
 There is no particular value or virtue in the words of command we have chosen. You can teach your dog to get down when you say Up" and to get up when you command Down" Choose a word for each act and always use 1t And whether your dog speaks Eng fish, German or Turkish, he will understand you.
 We have had the command Down" for lying down. We now have the command "Sit," when we wish the dog to sit on his launches Take hold of Spot by the collai with one hand, and with the other press on his loins while command ing "Sit." Press slightly on the loins. that portion of the body di- rectly before the hind legs. Most dogs, such as terriers, like to jump, and it Is comparatively easy to teach them to do 90. Place a stick on the floor, with one end against the wall. Snap the fingers hold some morsel of food in the hand, and tempt the dog across the stick. Command Jump" each time. Raise the stick about an inch and repeat the process; then raise the stick another inch or two and so on.

Later, you can use your arms for Q barrier Jumping over walls and high bar riers should be done only with the larger beeds of dogs such shep- herds, airdales and Doberman pinschers.
 Much has been said about shy and nervous dogs. It Is difficult to say before a dog Is six months old whether the shyness is inborn or due to conditions in hi. surround ings. If 1t is inborn. the dog Is to be pitied rather than punished; fl due to conditions. usually improper feeding, 1t can be removed. Lack of running and outdoor living Is another leading cause of nervous ness in dogs. Take the dog with

Family Will Back Him

Family Will Back Him
 New York, Aug 17-UP)-The family of Senator Roy T. Yates of New Jersey rallied to his aid to- day as he fought in local hos pital to recover from bullet wounds.
 Mrs Yates and her daughter, Olive, issued statements at Pater- son, N J.. expressing their confi- dence in him, their solicitude for his recovery, and their readiness to stand by him in his present or deal
 Meantime, Ruth Jayne Cranmer was in Bellevue hospital awaiting arraignment on a charge Of fel- onious assault which may be made tomorrow. It is alleged the girl attacked Yates during a drinking bout and argument in her apart ment. Jersey revelations indicate that she was carried on the state payroll as a. "rcsearch worker" at Yates order, and Yates now faces the possibility of impeachment proceedings.
 His wife and daughter, Olive, however, held that the truth will prevail" and that the senator on recovery will have a chance to put a different face on the situa- ton.
 "In the meantime" his wife's statement read, i've shall be ready at his beck and call. This seems like a nightmare. We can't be- lieve it. You know, the senator has always been a good man. We have had our little spats -. what family doesn't have them."
 She painted him as "such a de- cent fellow" devoted to his legis- lative work and especially inter- ested in relief work,
 we don't care about anything else in the world 50 long as oui daddy pulls through this terrible thing in good condition. We are praying day and night. Let us re- member what the Scriptures have taught us: Judge not that he be not judged"
 The daughter Olive resented stories tending to indicate she was | indifferent to his fate. Please say that all we ask is to be let alone and we are praying for the day when our daddy will come back home well" she said.
