Hoover, Food Dictator —Married: A marriage license was
' issued on the 19th to J. L. Hendrix,
41, and Mrs. Phobe Beauchamp, 39,
both of Oklahoma City, and they were
married by Judge Burke and re-
turned to their home rejoicing.
The United States is learning by
the experience of other countries that
the time to conserve food is when
there is food to conserve. The Euro-
pean nations waited until there was a
scarcity before they appointed food
dictators. The United States has ap-
pointed one right now, putting the
work into the hands of Herbert
Hoover of Belgian relief fame and
giving him drastic powers. The sys-
tem of food control will include the
following:
Voluntary mobilization of food
producers and distributors for "in-
telligent control of food consump-
tion."
Full inquiry into existing available
food stocks, costs and practices of
food producing distributing trades.
Prevention of all food hoarding and
"corners."
Requisitioning of food supplies and
equipment for handling them when
necessary.
Government establishment of
prices to guarantee farmers their
profits.
Prohibition of foot! waste.
Licensing of legitimate mixtures
and milling percentages.
Control to end immediately after
the war.
There is not a bit of doubt that
there are plenty of foodstuffs in the
country; oceans of it, in fact, but it
is being hoarded up by speculators
and manipulators of "corners." It will
be one of Mr. Hoover's main duties to
uncover these "corners" and get the
food stuffs on the market.

Claude Ray, for seven or eight
years one of the most efficient and
popular clerks and book-keepers in
the school land department in Okla-
homa City, is in jail in default of
$5,000 bond, charged with embezzling
some $18,000 of school land funds.
His manipulation of the books seems
to have continued over a period of
years, but only recently have the
suspicions of the officers been aroused
by Ray's extravagant mode of living,
and by the fact that he was loaning
money to the other clerks. One clerk
acknowledged he was $917.50 in debt
to Ray, and another $170. Ray was
recently married and had built a fine
home. His salary was $100 per month
I until recently, when it was raised to
$125.

li DAN'S REPARATION I
Vt By SUSAN CLAGETT. t>J«
Mi ....... ...V
"I tell you Elleu, I will uot have it.
The man is a gambler. I grant he is a
! gentleman, that he Is a delightful com-
panion. I feel his charm as well as
you, but to have him something nearer
than a friend is not to be thought of.
You must give up that foolish idea."
! "Idea," scoffed Dan's sister. "I love
, Larry O'Connor, Dan. 1 ain thirty
years old and he is the first man I
have ever cared for save yourself.
| Knowing this, do you think that I will
| give him up?"
"You are old enough not to let your
heart get the better of your judgment,
your common sense. 1 have known
O'Connor for six years. I know him
as one man comes to know another up
here in the mines. He Is a true friend.
Ho will divide his last penny with an
enemy if that enemy is hungry, but he
can no more keep out of a game of
chance than you can keep from breath-
ing. He left here Christmas night and
went directly to McDougan's. He broke j
the bank. At daybreak he took his :
team and started for Fort Gibbon. I i
heard today he made a clean-up there."
"I must think It out, Dan," Ellen an-
swered slowly.
It had turned bitterly cold, the cold
that freezes cheeks and extremities un-
awares. Fortunately there was no j
wind, but in crossing the flats Larry
O'Connor had to pause several times to j
thaw the Ice from the feet of his dog
team. Each time he stopped there j
came a whimper from the bundle on j
the sled, and nt a longer pause a voice i
said irrrltably:
"My heart Is freezing, Larry. Aren't !
we almost there? D your stub- !
bornness In making me take the trip!" '
"There was nothing else to do. Tim. j
I had to get you away. You have about j
finished me in Fairbanks, as you have
In every other place I have been. Now I !
am through with you. I leave you at I
Fort Gibbon. What you do thereafter
Is nothing to me, save this: You are
to keep away from me. They will care
for you at the fort until you can
travel. Then hit the post trail for
Holy Cross."
Larry left his team at Gibbon, re-
turning the next morning on Orr's
stage. The first person he met upon
reaching Fairbanks, as he was the last
with whom he had spoken before leav-
ing. was Dan Holiday. O'Connor stif-
fened as he saw him. He could not
forget their talk, a talk that had turned
the first glimmer of happiness that he
had seen for years into black rage and
despair. He would have passed with
a curt nod but that he saw Ellen stand-
ing near her brother. His heart missed
a beat as heveaught sight of her, her
arms filled with tamarack, her gay cap
and blanket coat making a spot of bril-
liant color against the grayness of the
coming night. She nodded gayly and
called to him that she was keeping
open house New Year's day and he
must come and help decorate the
rooms.
Dan wheeled about and looked at
her with a heavy frown. Larry
thanked her, but said he had an en-
gagement.
"Break it," she commanded with a
laugh. "All the world, including the
butcher, the baker and the candlestick
maker, are coming, and there will be
no place else for you to go, so come
you must."
All through New Year's day and eve-
ning Ellen watched and waited. Then
he came, so late that her heart hud
grown chill with fear. As he made his
way toward her he was stopped by a
newcomer. Ellen could not help but
overhear their conversation.
"Where Is Tim? I heard he was with
you," said the newcomer.
Larry hesitated. "lie was, for a
time." His eyes rested upon Dan, who
was standing near. "The two of us
went to the fort on Christinas night.
He will go on to Holy Cross and from
there to Nome."
"Doing better or worse up here?"
"Worse."
"And you are still the scapegoat, I
suspect?"
"Drop It, Jack," Larry said Irritably.
The other turned to Dan. "Have you
ever seen his twin? Alike as two j
peas—alike in everything save char-
acter. Larry has all of that. Tim is a
lovable chap, but weak, and the worst j
of his weakness Is that he lets O'Con-
nor take the blame for his misdeeds. 1
think he has committed every sin save
murder and he Is a confirmed gambler.
A lucky one, too, If all that I hear is
true."
"Larry left town some days ago after (
cleaning up McDougan's bank."
"Tim, you mean," the other answered
with a show of anger. "I suppose he j
has been up to his usual tricks. It
wasn't Larry. .That fellow Is the
stralghtest, whitest white man I have
ever known."
Dan considered. "I guess It is up to
me to make reparation," he said, glanc- i
ing about the room, lie made his way
to his sister and Larry, who were j
standing together at the further end of j
the room, and talked very earnestly
with them for some minutes; then he
rapped upon a table standing near.
The silence was instantaneous. Dan
hesitated, cleared his throat, still hesl- j
tated. Then with a rush the words
came—not many, but when they were 1
uttered pandemonium reigned for a
moment.
"Say It again." someone called.
And once more Dan said:
"Ladles and gentlemen I wish to an-
nounce the approaching marriage of
my sister to Mr. Lawrence O'Connor."
