VISIT THE BOX WELL
A delegation of Normanites
went to the Box well east of Lex-
ington Tuesday to see if they
could find out anything concern-
ing the reported finding of gas
in that project, but returned
about as wise as they departed.
They were R. W. Hutto, J. W.
Abies, Claud Pickard, R. L. Ri-
singer, Bob Wingate and J. O.
Fox, and they had a mighty pleas-
ant ride in Abies' Paige automo-
bile. They could get no informa-
tion as to any "strike" of gas, and
came away pretty well satisfied
that none had been made. Many
spectators are visiting the well,
among them numerous men who
look and talk like oil men, but
none of them could get any infor-
mation.

Trip to France
Proves Fatal to
French Soldier
Geneva, July IS.—A French
soldier, 24 years old, who has been
at the front since 1914 and won
the War Cross, presented himself
to the French guard at Neuchatel,
on the Swiss frontier, and said
that he must visit his fiance in
Switzerland, whom he had not
seen for three years. When the
guard said it was impossible to
let him pass, the soldier declared:
"I am going even if you shoot
me. I must see her." As he cross-
EARLY MORNING EIRE
The alarm of fire early Wednes-
day morning was caused by a lire
that practically destroyed the big
barn on the Phil Frick property
on Chautauqua avenue. The fire
department was on the "job early,
but the fire had secured such head
way that all that could be done
was to confine it to the barn. The
house was threatened but by good
work was not damaged. The
property was occupied by Mr. and
Mrs. Sam Reutepohler, and Mr.
Reutepohler's big automobile
truck was in the barn when it
ca'ught fire, but was saved. It is
not known how the fire caught,
Mr. Reutepohler having been in
the barn a few minutes before the
fire was discovered, and every-
ed, the guard fired and the soldier j thing was all right then. The loss
fell dead.

tion necesary to raise the amounts
Also to approve, disapprove or
amend the estimates made by the
municipalities of the county for
their running expenses. It is
probable a number of committee -
will meet with them, to suggest
reductions or increases in certain
funds. A Good Roads committee
from the Chamber of Commerce
should be one of the committees
to suggest that while economy in
this respect is commendable,
penuriousness is the last thing
that should enter into the con
sideration of that vital matter.
Let us have as liberal road fund
as possible, and see that it is

SHAVETAILS ANGRY
About 100 officers came into
an American port 011 Monday in-
dignant clcar down to tlicir boots
and spurs because, owing to the
crowded condition of the vessel,
they were compelled to find quar-
ters in the steerage among the
private soldiers. They were es-
pecially angry, dispatches say. be-
cause something like 160 "war
brides" were given quarters in
the cabins while they, the real
Lords of Creation, were forced
to crowd in with the common
herd. Probably .they would have
liked the women folk to go to the
steerage and given thorn the
cabins. A little authority certainly
does make men feel foolish, and
it is very probable the great ma-
jority of these men who made the
hardest kick were never used to
anything but steerage accommo-
dations when they were in civil
life. They got just what was com-
ing to them.
