Leavenworth, Kan., June 26.—Ho-
mer McCord, the socalled Kansas
"bride kidnapper," and Frank Wil-
liams, convicts in the state prison at j
Lansing, escaped from the prison coal
mine early today by a perilous 800
foot climb up a perpendicular airshaft.
McCord was under five years sen-

were on their wedding journey.
Williams and McCord, with a num-
ber of others, were lowered into the
mine last night to replace decayed
timbers. Shortly after midnight the
mine was thrown into darkness. A
hasty examination revealed that the
electric light wires had been cut and
telephone communication severed.
When repairs were made to the
wires, an inspection of the mine re-
vealed that Williams anil McCord were

How to Cut Down
the Cost of Living
Advantageous buying is the
basis of economy. To know
when and where to buy is a
problem, which can be easily
solved by reading the announce-
ments of the live merchants who
use the columns of the Daily
Ti a ti ript to enlighten the pub-
lie, oil where and when to buy.
The news columns play an im-
portant part in the make up of
the newspaper, but the advertis-
ing columns are just as import-
ant and in many instances are of
vastly more importance to the
reader who wishes to economize
in the high cost of living.
Begin now and economize by
reading and taking advantage of
(lie advertisements that are ap-
pearing daily in the Daily Tran-
script.

"From the military fronts the
news is strangely in contradiction, for
the French report unbroken success,
while the Russian retreat continues
steadily. The Russian reverses are
explicable by her deplorable and ad-
mitted want of ammunition.
"Even her defeats, hov.'ever, bring
- ut the extraordinary bravery of Rus-
>ia*s soldiers. It is held, too, that
whether Russia occupies or abandons
ibis or that town does not touch the
. ore of that part of the campaign.
(me of the Russian generals has sum-
med up the situation as dependent:
upon one point only; that Russia ;
should kill so many as to exhaust her
enemy's armies and prevent the re-,
lease of large bodies of men for the j
Italian or French frontiers. ;

can retire in good order and draw on !

"It does not seem possible that Usr-
many will be able to withdraw any-
large body of troops, and for that the j
allies are thankful. In the meantime
this country has grasped the fact that,
ammunition is the decisive factor and!
that it must be speeded—must be ob-
tained from all possible sources
WHAT THE FARMER DID
A city man recently visited his
"country cousin." The man from the
citv, wishing to explain the joys ut .
,:ot nipolitan life, said: "We cer-
tainly have been having some fun the
last four days. Thursday we autoed
to the Country Club and golfed until
:ilg!'t, then trollied back to town and
danced until morning."
The country cousin was not to be
stumped in the least, so ber l telling j
of some of the pleasures of th.' simple
life. "We have had pretty ! od times
here, too. One day we hugf d out to
Untie Ned's and went out t the back
lot, where we hav ailed all that a
ternoon. In the evening we -i leaked
up into the attic and pokered until
morning."
A sturdy old farmer who was listen-
ing, not to lie outdone, took up the
conversation at this point and said: "I
having some fun about this time
self. 1 muled to the corn field and
gee-hawed until Jn down Then I
sunpered until daik nd piped until 9
o'clock, after which I bed-steaded un-
til the clock five- . -. which I break-
fasted until it wa time to go muling
again."
The congregations and Sabbath
schools of Capshaw and Clearbrook
will meet at Capshaw school house
next Sunday, July 4th, for preaching
and Sabbath school. Services both
morning and afternoon. Basket din-
ner at 10 o'clock. M. Phillips.
Quality and Price
was
When you buy a piece of fur-
niture or a carpet for your
home, the first cost is the whole
cost. When you buy a refrige-
rator it is the ice cost and not
the first cost you should consid-
er. The poorer a refrigerator is
made, the more ice it will use
and waste.
Better pay a few dollars more
and take an Automatic. It will
save this difference on your ice
bills every year you use it, and
away and beyond this considera-
tion of first cost and ice cost lies
the fact that Automatics will
give you the greatest service—
in keeping your foods whole-
some and very cold and dry.
Read about our 8-wall con-
struction; our never-clogging
trap; our sanitary shelf and ice
rack; our perfect circulation;
the water cooler and the bottle
holder, on succeeding pages.
There are makers of refrig-
erators that cost more than Au-
tomatics, but the'- cannot give
you any better value. No fac-
tory can make a better refrig-
erator than the Automatic. Why
pay more? Get an Automatic
—one large enough, too, and
you will be entirely satisfied
with it, and when it is worn out
you'll buy another one of us.
Why pay less? On cheaper
boxes there is much more dif-
ference in the quality than in
the price—it is merely wasting
money to buy them.
Don't drink water with ice in
Freezing doesn't kill death-
dealing germs—it merely keeps
them so the melting ice may
place them in the drinking wat-
