Hill SPACE IT STATE F§
Can Caddo county hold first place at the 1913 Oklahoma State Fair
and Exposition. Oklahoma City, September 23 to October 4?
"We can!" is the answer that comes from Krank Thrall and others
who were instrumental in capturing the coveted cup and the first prize
money of $200 last year.
"We don't know about that!" comes the cry from a dozen other coun-
ties in unison. Ana, in the meantime, entries are being * made every day
for space, according to word that comes from I. S. .Mahan. secretary of the
State Fair at Oklahoma City. '
Flushed with their victory of 1918, the people of Caddo county were
the first to make an entry this year. Comanchie county, winner of the
second prize last year, is already on the list for 1913, while Pottawatomie
is confident of stepping out of third place. Noble county won the cup in

that there is a movement on foot at Perry and other places to come back

Some of the other counties that have already engaged space for cpunty
exhibits include Beckham, Custer, Washita. Grant, McClain, with negotia-
tions now under way with at least thirty others. In addition to counties
that have beome prominent through advertisement received at Ihe State
Fair, it is reported that numerous others will be found In line this year
for the first time, notably Washington in the northeastern part of the

HITCHCOCK IS DISPUTED.
New Postmaster General Fails to Find

Washington.—The postoflke de-
partment did not attain a condition
of self-support during the administra-
tion of Postmaster General Hitchcock,
notwithstanding the widely adver-
tised announcement to that effect, al- ! to show, on the contrary, that at no
though an apparent surplus was at- I time has there been a legitimate sur-
pectively first, second, third and
fourth assistant postmasters general
and chief clerk of the department.
The substance of the claim of the
Hitchcock administration was that a
deficiency of approximately $17,60(1,000
in 1909 was entirely eliminated, and
that a surplus of over $2,000,000 was
attained for the fical year 1911. The
reports of the ' survey" are declared
plus In the postal revenues since the
fiscal year 1889, and that instead of
a surplus of approximately $219,000
in 1911, there was. In fact an actual
deficiency of considerable more than
three-quarters of a million dollars.
ECZEMA ITCHED AND BURNED
R. F. D. No. 8. Maryville, Tenn.—
"My baby, when three months old,
took eczema on his face and head.
His head and one side of his face
were almpBt in a solid sore. The ec-
zema at first was kind of a rash and
then it broke out in water pimples
and they would burst and looked very
badly. It would itch and burn so bad-
ly that he could not rest at all and
his hair just all fell out at once till
his head was pc rfectly bald. He could
iot sleep at night and was very cross.
"I tried Remedies without any relief
at all; be only got worse _!1 the time
until 1 used Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment. He had great relief the first
application. He was soon cured and
his hair began to grow back and now
he has just beautiful fine hair and
has no sign of eczema." (Signed)

Also Realized That Even Superdread-
nough Would Be Imperiled by
Presence of Idiot.
The brand new battleship of the su-
perdreadnought type had been thrown
open to visitors. Her captain stood
at the gangway receiving his guestB,
pride and delight In his magnificent
vessel shining in every lineament.
Suddenly hif gaze concentrated upon
an approaching figure. His face grew
pale to the lips; he shook in every
fiber. Controlling his terror by a
mighty efTort. be turned hastily to his
executive officer.
"Clear for action, Mr. Bldodlet," he
cried. "Beat to quarters, l.oad with
grape. Order the marines to concen
trate behind me, prepared to repel
boarders."
"Aye, aye, sir." responded the offi-
cer promptly, although thoroughly be-
wildered.
The blood returned to the .captain's
face and he regained his composure
as he remarked how quickly his or-
der were carried out, and how they
were prepared to meet their formida-
ble foe successfully. Then his eyes
again sought the object of his fears
He was close aboard. "Hellp, cap'n!''
he cried, a vbcuouh smile playing
about his weak mouth.
"Hack!" shouted the captain stern-
ly. "Hack, or I'll blow you up!"
"Say, cap'n, that's what you seem
to be doin'," responded the enemy,
giggling.
"Don't you try to set foot on board
my ship," continued the captain vehe-
mently. "I'm not going to jeopardize
boat, crew aud visitors for your pleas-
ure."
"Oh, say, cap'n," remonstrated the
enemy with another silly grin, "don't
you know me?"
"You bet 1 do. You're the Idiot that
rocks the boat, and you shall not come
on board mine."
Imitating Her Elders.
Pleter and brother, neither of whom
has reached the mathematical age,
were playing the other day on the
lawn at their home In Twelfth street,
sayi the Indianapolis News. The
brother had groat respect for his sis-
ter s knowledge, for she went to
school. He looked forward to the day
when he should become a pupil and
grow viae.
"I think." he said, "when June in
gone It will be cooler."
Then suddenly:
"When will June be gone?"
The little sister attempted to an-
swer. but, evidently fearing to lose her
brother's admiration, she plared her
hand on his shoulder, and with a tone
of mild surprise she said;
"Why, David, you ought to know
that."
!r
Didn't Know Where to Stop.
"The great men are all dead," she
uaid, with evident regret.
"Hut the beautiful women are not,"
he replied, looking earnestly at her.
"Of course." she added, after a mo-
ment's reflection, "1 always except
present company."
"So do I," he said.
Then she asked If he would be good
enough to conduct her to her husband

Plans to Live as Savage
To prove that the people of the
twentieth century need not be slaves
to civilized convention, Joseph
Knowles, a Boston painter of outdoor
life, plans to plunge into the wilder-
ness of northern Maine this month
without clothing, food, matches, fire-
arms or ammunition.
He promises to stay there until Oc-
tober 1, to subsist on tish, game, ber-
ries and wild vegetables and to come
out fully clothed. He will live 50 or
60 miles away from any settlement,
and will accept no help from the out-
side world.
Knowles will make his own fire by
friction; will build a log cabin from
material he finds in the woods, and
will make traps out of what he dis-
covers in the practically unexplored
northern part of the Pine Tree state.
Whom She Preferred.
A lady suspected her two sons of
carrying on a mild flirtation with one
of the servants, a bonny Scottish las-
Bie. In order to arrive at the truth of
the matter she pressed the bell, and
when the girl answered it spoke to
her.
"Tell me. Jane," she said quietly,
"which of my two sons do you prefer
—James or Albert?"
"Weel, ma'am," replied the blush-
ing Jane, "they are both nice, though
I think of the two I prefer James; but
