Baseball won," writes Lillard CNlke) McGee, sports editor of the Topeka Capital, in noting the re- suits of our sports poll, and we imagine it won for the great part because the poll was conducted among newspaper me in the larger towns.
 The sports editors over the United States in spite of their hard exteriors are bunch of sentimen- talists. For years they have been pumping the public full of Base ball, the grand old game-the great American sport, and they have gotten so they believe it them selves.
 We have a Sneaking suspicion that if MT. Gould had gone out more into the highways and by ways with his poll results might have been different. No one can tell this writer that baseball is the more popular sport in Kansas when Kansas has but three professional teams or that the same thing is true in Oklahoma with about four professional teams or in Nebraska with perhaps a half dozen teams. !.
 MT. Gould's articles are inter esting but not necessarily con- vincing."

CHARLE STON, West Virginia, Feb. 15.-Bolton E. White, aged 46 years, an unemployed automobile salesman, hacked three of his six children to death with a hatchet, critically injured the three other children and then killed himself with a shotgun Sunday.
 The dead and injured were found scattered about the large living room in Whites home Sunday afternoon when relatives became worried after failing to hear from White or the children.
 A disjointed note indicated the killings occurred shortly after mid night Saturday.
 The injured children are being cared for in a hospital.
 Mrs. White was at the home of a sister where she had gone after baby was born about ten days ago.
 Neighbors said White had been acting queerly for several days.

Part Of The Fun

What good are our sporting heroes, anyway. if we can't get a trifle sentimental about them, oc- casionally?
 Quite a few of us would consider 1892 as artistic success if we could be on hand to see Jack Dempsey regain the worlds heavyweight championship with his fists. Why? Because, when he was good the old mauler gave us a thrill with every charge
 We get sentimental every time we think of gallant old Walter Johnson, coming through against the Giants in the 1924 worlds series or going down to defeat, stamping around on the mound in the sawdust and rain at Pitts burgh in 1925.
 Sentiment was not dead at Rev. erly last fall when Francis Ouimet, the courageous veteran, outlasted the youths of amateur golf. Nor would we be truthful if we didn't admit to a quickening of the pulse when Jimmy Wilde went down, stone-cold but face forward in his last fight, or when Albie Booth played his last football game for Yale against Harvard.

CANCER CLINIC
BRANCH OPENED
IN Los ANGELES

Extension of a 30-year Northern
California service to the Southern
California field is announced by
the w. F.. Hoque Cancer founda-
ton. The foundation, which spe-
ciali2es in the treatment of ex-
ternal cancer, recently open a Los
Angeles clinic to serve the 13
southern counties.
The parent clinic was established
more than 80 years ago in San
Jose. Since then its cures have
become common knowledge ali over
the northern half of the state, ac-
cording to Herbert Hoque, business
manager. The fact that in recent
years cancer has reached the dis
tinction of being the second great
est killer in the United States, sec
end only to heart disease. per-
suaded the founder of the founda-
ton, w. F. Hoque, to open the Los
Angeles clinic. Medical authorities
have estimated that one of five
women and one out of eight men
IN this country have cancer in
some form.
The foundations treatment is
administered by licensed physi-
clans and does not necessitate the
patient remaining in bed or in a
hospital, the institutions descrip-
tive literature explains.

By United Press


WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-This is
chiefly for the benefit of those lady
and gentlemen readers who are in
terested in furnishing homes, which
means they are interested in the
cost of furniture.
The state department has gone
into the matter of furniture shop
ping in pretty extensive way be-
cause it is constantly faced with
the problem of furnishing homes
for its consuls, ministers and am
bassadors abroad 1t has prepared
for the house of representatives
some interesting figures on the sub
ject.
These figures show that the cost
of furnishing, in the finest Amer
ican fashion, a residence fit for
occupation by the American ambas-
sador to Japan, is $565 per squaz
foot of floor space. To furnish
apartments for clerks and minor
employees of the ambassador, the de-
partment found the cost was $4.65
per square foot.
The furniture was of the best
American make. The department
feels that it cannot afford to send
second grade American furniture to
its legations and embassies. The
furnishings come constantly under
the eyes of foreigners, and they
Judge the competence of American
industry by what they see.
The department finds that the
cost of furniture is going down
steadily A Duncan Phyfe dress
ing table that cost $170 in 1927 cost
$3.50 in 1881; a large bed, fit for
an ambassador to sleep in, that
cost $218 in 1927 now costs $121.45;
George Washington chiffonier
costing $3.50 in 1927 costs $133 now;
a Duncan Phyfe dining table that
cost $285 in 1928 can be bought now
for $3.50; a dining room chair to go
with it cost S62 in 1929 and in
1882 only $33.

COLORADO RIVER
RECEDES AFTER
LIGHT FRESHET

The Colorado river at Andrade
dropped to 100000 second feet this
morning after reaching $500 sec
ond feet yesterday morning, the
highest point since June Q, 1890, &C
cording to records at the irriga-
ton works on the river.
This figure, $500, is almost ex-
actly half again as large as the
peak on June 10, 1881, when 26,900
second feet were recorded. The
peak on June 8, 1890, was $500
second feet.
The big flow of water received at
Hoover dam will not affect the riv-
er greatly at Andrade, it was ex-
planned by district officials today,
unless the flow continues for sew
eral days.
F. E. Higley, river superintendent,
said today this preliminary freshet
was of great value to Imperial VAL
ley as it would help clear accumu-
lations of silt in the channels in
the delta region which Silted up
during the recent long period of
low water.
The present river is not consid-
cred high as the Colorado fire.
quently reaches 100000 to 100000
second feet. Inspections made this
morning revealed that levees were
holding satisfactorily, said Higley.
He said spring freshets reach theiI
peak early in June.

he knew, before the assassin's shot
at Sarajevo, that the World war
was coming.
From the reports on secret
European treaties at the state
department" he replied. "Secre-
tary of State Bryan, a friend of
mine, let me read those confidential
reports. 1t was clear that war
was coming"
In 1916 Murray was busy pre-
dieting that America soon would
be dragged into the war. That
was the year Wilson was run
ming for reelection on a platform
of HE kept us out of war" Muir
ray was defeated for reelection.
DEATEN Murray toured South
ID America for several years. He
travelled almost the length of the
Amazon, swapping 10-cent store
mirrors to the jungle Indians who
padded his canoe. He made six
trips to South America between
1919 and 1923.
Each time I came back from
one of these trips, I could see the
United States slipping more and
more" Murray said. Il saw the
approach of the present depres-
sion-T foresaw the millions of
unemployed we have today.
unless we meet this, our nation
will break up into little bands
like Rome did in the seventh CEN
tury; these unorganized bands will
take what they can get; in con-
gested centers disease will wipe
them out; people in the remote
regions will be those who will sur
vive."
Thus was born Murray's Bolivi-
an colony idea. He made con-
tract with the Bolivian govern
ment for $4,000 acres of rich
prairie land near the foot of the
Andes, interested eighteen Okla
homa farm families in his plan
and set out with them for South
American in May, 1924.
I'VE sailed from New Orleans.
Our colonists began to get home
sick. Some of them wanted to go
back before we got to Cuba. 9th
ers quit at Panama. We landed
at Antofagasta, Chile, and took a
train inland to the railroad head,
THE rest of the way we trav-
eled by OK cart. BY that time, all
but two had quit us; and they left
for home the following week"
But Murray, his wife and two
sons and their wives went ahead.
They founded the colony, popu-
lated it with native labor and
resident European farmers, and
remained there five years.
THE first year we were mighty
lonesome" he continued, but
after that We got to like it."
