Advance In Bread Prices
We desire to announce that
On and After Dee. 1st, 1916,
the smaller loaves of bread will be five cents STRAIGHT
instead of six for a quarter, and the larger loaves ten cents
STRAIGHT instead of three for a quarter. This slight ad-
vance is made absolutely necessary by the high prices we
are compelled to pay for flour and all other commodities
that enter into the making of bread, and is made only after
our supply of flour purchased at the lower figures has been
exhausted.
There will be no change in the weight of loaves.

Socialists take the stand that, inas-
much as the Fair Election law did
carry in the recent election, the old
state election board is no longer in
existence.
With this new development the in-
terest of those concerned in the fight
to free the state from the grip of the
Democratic machine and to secure,
first of all, recognition of the adop
tion of the Fair Election law in the
recent election, again shifts to the
legal proceedings now being prepared
under the direction of the Republican
State Committee. Fresh evidence of
amazing and astounding character is
being sent in daily, telling of incor-
rect election returns, padded returns
on the presidential vote and of ex-
tensive state question ballot
shortages. Frequent conferences are
being held between State Chairman
Arthur H. Geissler and E. E. Sams,
secretary of the Republican state com-
mittee, the Republican state commit-

"BURNING UP THE ROAD."
A motor car overturned on a coun-
try road recently. The accident was
being discussed in a group of motor-
ists who were speculating as to its
cause. "Anyhow," said one member
of the group, "you can bet they were
burning up the road." And the rest
acquiesced.
Statistics aren't available, but it is
a safe guess that 95t of all motor
car accidents happen to people who
were "burning up the'roaa." It is the
rarest thing in the world for a car
going at a reasonable speed to get in-
to trouble. But when the driver
starts to burn up the road things be-
gin to happen.

UNI. WIRELESS STATION.
A wireless station capable of re-
ceiving messages from and sending
them to Arlington, Va., is being In-
stalled at the University of Oklahoma
under the direction of Ray RaTyeat,
a senior in the school of electrical en-
gineering who was formerly a wire-
less operator in the United States
navy. Balyeat came to Oklahoma to
get some special work in the study of
electricity.
Practically all the work of construc-
tion has already been completed. On
the arrival of a thirty-foot cypress
pole, the aerials will be erected and
everything will be ready to receive
messages from vessels on the Gulf
of Mexico, stations on the Atlantic
seaboard, and even from the United
States station at Honolulu when
weather conditions are favorable.

are accumulating a mass of evidence
that will reveal an unprecedented con-
dition of election manipulation by
means of wholesale fraud, theft of
votes and ballot shortages; condi-
tions which, if allowed to continue,
will leave the state election board
perpetually in power absolutely to
control the result of any future elec-
tion in this state, and not only con-
trol the election of state officials, but
also effect the election or defeat of
county officials in every county in the

now are saying that these conditions,
if allowed to continue, will realize
Governor William's dream to make
the state of Oklahoma a second

VILLA THEATENING JUAREZ
Has Decisively Defeated Carranza's
Forces and Captured Chihuahua
City—Now on His Way
to Juarez.
El Paso, Tex., Nov. Nov. 28.—Villa
is moving northward from Chihuahua
City, according to a dispatch from
General Trevino received tonight by
General Gonzales Sit Juarez, who
was ordered to concentrate his forces
here at Juarez.
A private message, coming over
the same route, adds that not only
is Villa proceeding north, but he is
in control of Chihuahua City, which
General Trevino is supposed to have
abandoned, proceeding southward.
General Trevino, according to the
private report, said that after effect-
ing a junction with General Murguia
he would return and recapture Chi-
huahua.
The message from General Trevino
was sent in code from Sauz by way of
Ojintfga, opposite the Texas town of
Presidio, where it was relayed. It said,
according to Carranza officials, that
Villa was moving north and ordered
the detached garrison along this sec
tion of the frontier and on the Mexico
Northwestem line to concentrate in
Juarez.
The message, they added, spoke of
this as the fifth day of Villa's at-
tacks.
The attitude of the civil and mill
tary men in the Juarez headquarters
tonight clearly indicated the serious
ness of the news.
It is understood that there are
about five hundred men, mostly in
fantry, in or near Juarez.
Telegraphis communication was still
open tonight with Sauz, about twentv-
six miles above Chihuahua, the mili-
tary men said.
They professed considerable anxiety
about the Carranza garrison here.

El Paso, Tex., Nov. 27.—Inflicting
losses on the enemy, Francisco Villa
and his bandit forces tonight drove
Gen. Jacinto Trevino and his troops
from Chihuahua City, and are in pos-
session of the capital.
The Carranza garrison is fleeing in
disorder in the direction of Ojinaga.
This information was received tonight
by United States government agents,
but has not been verified through any
other source.
After five days of fighting, Villa
and his six thousand men were in.con-
trol of all the suburbs of Chihuahua
CSty. The Villistas took possession
of the railroad yards, the water
works, the penitentiary, the smelter,
and other strategic points.
From early Sunday morning a des-
perate engagement was waged be-
tween the bandits and the defacto
government troops commanded by
General Trevino. The Villistas entered
the capital from the west and south.
After capturing the suburbs, they en-
tered the environs of the city and
planted machine guns on top of the
penitentiary, the water works, and
several of the larger buildings.
The operators of the machine guns!
trained a deadly fire on the govern-
ment troops. Trevino and his men
abandoned their trenches in the
suburbs, and felf back to the heart of
the city The artillery and machine!
guns of the Carranza troops then were
planted at the Alameda.
This information was brought to El
Paso late today by a courier, who left
Chihuahua City in a motor car. He
states the Villistas have lost ap-
proximately one thousand men cap-
tured and killed in the five days'
fighting. The losses of the de facto
government have been much larger,
despite the fact that Trevino had
twenty cannon planted on Santa Rosa
Hill.
