i i PAGE TEN CATTLEMAN FLIES . TO HOLD AUCTION (By United Press.) Oklahoma City, Dec. 12.—The air- plane threatens to take the place of the automobile in the southwest. Dur- ing the last six months rapid strides have been made in their use for busi- ness purposes. Men who have used them assert “they can’t be beat.” One enterprising company manu- facturing air machines has already established salesrooms—or rather fields—near here and are reported to be doing a big business. The airplane has been brought forcibly to the attention of the oil and cattle men of this state.during the past few months on two occasions when they were used in emergencies and proved reliable. Col. H. L. Burgess, prominent cat- tleman of Chelsea, Okla., was slated to conduct a shorthorn sale in Krem- lin, but missed train connections at El Reno. Roads in this section of the country are notoriously bad and rain on this occasion had made them worse. The colonel, however, tele- phoned to Oklahoma City for an air- plane, which was soon on its way to El Reno. ‘The trip was made without mishap and cattlemen soon became interested in the aerial mode of traveling. Oil men have stated their intention of using airplanes for scouting pur- poses and for emergencies which fre- quently occur in the oil game, requir- ing short but speedy moves. NORMAL HEAD ELECTED St. Paul, Dec. 12.—O0. N. Dickerson a member of the faculty of the Wino- na normal school, was elected presi- dent of the Moorhead normal school at a special meeting of the state nor- mal board at board of education office at the capitol. The next regular meeting of the normal board will be held the first week in January. WOUNDED SOLDIER IS VISITING HIS UNCLE Leon Stanton, son of Attorney E. ‘M.

CATERING TO TOURISTS These concrete tables and benches have been built in a picturesque canon by the people of San Bernardino, Cal., as a convenience to picnickers and mo- tor tourists.~Popular Mechanics Mag- azine. . Interlocking Brick. Burned walls falling all around him dauring the great fire in San Francisco ‘gave an Arizona man the idea of self- binding and interlocking brick, a type jof building material which promises to [revolutionize brick construction work ‘the world over. The principle of the brick is decidedly simple. On one side ‘of the brick are two annular bosses which are concentrically located op- pBsite two annular depressions on the other side of the brick, so that when the bricks are laid the bosses register with the depressions. In that way the bricks are locked into the wall and none can be removed unless all the bricks above it are first taken away. In sections of the country where hol- low-wall construction has come into popularity the interlocking brick seems likely to prove the most pop- ular, because it can be used in tying the two walls together. The bricks can be extended across the open space and made to lock together and act as a binder. Hollow-walls are desirable because of their coolness in sections where humidity prevails. Use Care in Selecting Plants, In selecting plants one is governed targely by the soil and climatic condi- itions, position of buildings, walks, drives, fountains, bodies of water, and the surrounding area. Soil conditions ‘may be changed by the addition of manure or commercial fertilizers. Of- ten the amateur is not famillar with the various kinds of plants, and is munable to make the proper selections. For such individuals it'is advisable lor them to visit the parks and oth- er well planted landscapes. This will lenable one to become familiar with e plants and their names, and will 1d greatly ‘in the selections of shrub- to suit his particular needs. Met- tags giving the technical and com- n rames are attached to many of e plants in the parks which will be ound helpful to the amateur. Vacant Lots Beautified. Vacant lots in a western city are de attractive by transplanting wild ywers upon them. Subscribe for The Ploneer. e The committee on public informa- tion, headed by George Creel, cost the government about $6,600,000 on the face of its records, according to official reports now before congress, which say the committee’s affairs cannot be wound up for six months because of the confusion. Chairman Creel and other officlals of the committee are charged with gross negligence in handling the gov- ernment’s funds in a report by E. K. Ellsworth of the council of national defense, appointed to liquidate the committee’s affairs. “It appears that immediately after the signing of the armistice,” Mr. Ells- worth said, “practically all of the offi- cials of the committee threw up their Jobs and returned to private life, leav- Ing but a few minor officials in charge.” The committee issued hundreds of checks \for individual expenses far in excess of the $1,000 muxitaum limit fired by congress, the report says. They ranged, it adds, from $100 te $500,- 000, and were issued to between 400 and 500 persons. EMMA GOLDMAN GETS STAY OF DEPORTATION Washington, Dec. 12.—The su- preme court has granted a stay of de- portation to Emma Goldman, anar- chist leader, until a complete record of her case shall be submitted to the court. This must be done by next Thurs- day. All Iegal obstacles to the de- portation of Alexander Berkman were removed, however, the court dis- missing his appeal on a writ of error, refusing to grant a stay of deporta- tion and denying bail. Berkman can be deported at any time, a stay of the lower court hav- ing expired. TWIN CITY WOMEN TO HEAR SUFFRAGIST (By United Press.) Minneapolis.

Hammonton, N. J., Dec. 12.—That Bally Dansey, murdered - ‘‘perfect baby,” lived for some time after he was struck down October 8, was re- vealed today for the first time. This information on which depend- ed the mystery surrounding the boy’s death was contained in warrants charging Charles S. White, wealthy florist, with his murder, and Mrs. Edith L. Jones, his housekeeper, with befng an accessory. The warrants had been kept secret and do not reveal the manner in which the boy met his death. The assumption is he was struck by a stone. Thriftless. “You don’t seem to have much re- spect for those chaps painters refer to as ‘the old masters.’” “None whatever,” said Mr. Dustin’ Stax. “They slighted their opportuni- ties. Think of the money they could have made merely by painting into each picture a package or a bottle of something that was being advertised.” Mortal Superiority. “If you will make three wishes,” sald the old-fashioped fairy, “I will see that they all come true.” “You're a little slow,” responded the rustic. “Any feller that runs for of- fice out this way will promise to make wishes come true fastern you can think 'em up.” Not for Such. “No doubt about 1t,” exclaimed the physician; “by means of this wonder- ful discovery old men can be made young.” “Why don’t you try it on yourseif?” “It's mo good for a dgoctor. A doctor spends Ralf his life trying to Jook old enough to be regarded as highly erudite and experienced.” Suggestive. The minister who made the follow- ing announcement seems to have been prepared for untsward results from his preaching: “There are soms flowers here,” he sald, “for those wio are sick at the close of this serviee.”—Youth's Com- panion. The Reason. Mrs. Longwed—What @& well pre- served man your friend Mr. Blinks is. No onz would ever take him. to be as old as you are.

After the Moors were driven out of Spain, the aristocracy was held to be those who could trace thelr lineage back to the time before the Moorish conquest, especially to the light-complexioned Goths. Thelr velns naturally appeared through the skin of « blue colar, while the bloed of the masses through their intermarriage with the Moors, showed dark upon their hands and faces. Dolls’ Eyes. Great quantities of cherry stones are used in Germany for dolls’ eyes, painted. Being ready-carved by na- ture, and of suitable shape and size, they serve the purpose admirably. VETERANS TO DELVE INTO BAKER'S PAST Minneapolis, Dec. 12.—Investiga- tion of alleged pacifist activity by Secretary of War Baker before he be- came a member of the cabinet was begun in Washington by a special representative of the Northwest War- riors committee on Americanization, it was announced by W. E. Brock- man, secretary. This is a direct result of Secretary Baker’s action in preventing the re- commitment to prison of Allan 8. Broms, convicted conscientious objec- tor, released from Leavenworth through a clerical error. “While investigating the Broms case we obtained information that Secretary Baker before he became a government official was actively con- nected with pacifist organizations,” said Mr. Brockman.
