HORSES WORTH $50,000,000
Kansas City Mo., May 26.—Though
a little more than half a" year has gone
In- since the shipment of horses to the
European war zone set in, approxi-
mately 250,000 have already been pur-
chased in the United States. They are
now going out at the rate of about
25,000 a month, or 420,000 - year, with
no sign of a let up until the war ends,
so that anybody can readii 3ee what
may happen if the struggle goes on
until one side or the other stops from
exhaustion. The possibility that this
country may lose 1,000,000 horses as
a result of the conflict is thus rapidly
becoming a probability, for everybody
-eems to be agreed that England,
France and Germany must buy a very
large number of horses after the war
ends to replace those taken from their
own people for military purposes.
The records of the department of
commerce show that more than 105,-
000 horuses were exported during the
first three months of 1915. April ex-
ports are not yet fully -ascertained,
but are estimated at 35,000 head. The
total exports last year were, in round
numbers, 93,000 head, as compared
with 29,000 head in 1913. Practically
all of the horses shipped to Europe
last year were purchased for military
purposes. ,
France, England, Italy, Switzerland,
Roumania, and perhaps other coun-
tries have been amoi.. the buyers. It
is estimated that they have paid some-
thing like $50,000,000 for the horses
purchased. That prices have advanced
only a few dollars for certain classes
of horses and not at all for others, is
pretty good proof that the United
States can keep on supplying horses
for the greatest war in history as long
as the European nations want to buy
them. But all the market experts are
predicting very much higher prices for
all classes of horses as soon as the
business of the country comes back to
a normal condition.

There is no question that the social
and economic problems are big vital
questions in this country and must be
dealt with. The public will doubtless
be glad to hear this course of lectures j
regardless of any difference of opin- j
ion that may exist. This song service
will begin at 7:45. Lecture at 8:15.1
In the competitive meet held at the
City Park Saturdav Clark and Mont-
gomery's troop of Scouts won first
place with a total of 73 points; 35
points won second place for Floyd Ab-
sher's troop and a troop from Moore
carried off 18 points. The surprise of
the meet was the winning of the drill
prize, a dog tent, by the Scouts from
Moore Much credit is due to Mr.
Rippey and Mr. Johnson for the cred-
itable work of the Moore boys.
The results in detail are as follows:
Silver loving cup for greatest num-
ber of points won by Troop A.
Dog tent for drill work won by
Moore troop.
First Aid Set for signalling won by
Troop A
First Aid Set for first aid won by
Troop B.
Camp Stove and Utensils for camp
fire building won by Troop A.
The individual prizes were won as
follows:
First Aid—Amon Ince, first; Reeds,
second, Bernard Smith, Third.
Signalling—Ogborn and Blackert,
first; Carl Ince and O. F. Brown, sec-
ond; Amon Ince and Hudgens, third.
Camp Fire Building — Engleman,
first; Bernard, second; Brown, third.
Knot Tying—Roff Engleman, first;
Guy Mitchell, second.
R. V. Downing, president of the lo-
cal council and S. Mahler of Moore,
spent the entire day at the city park
supervising the meet. Ira Parker of
the University Y. M. C. A. was in gen-
eral charge of events.
The loving cup was presented to
Troop A by Mayor Lindsay at the
court house at 4:30 p. m. Carl Ince
was appointed to receive the cup. The
cup will be held by the winning troop
until .next year, when it will be com-
peted for again. Thirty-six scouts
took an active part in the meet. The
total number of scouts in Norman is
close to the sixty mark, but not all
were able to attend.
Bootleggers and their sympathizers
blew up the Sapulpa (Okla.) Evening
Herald office Monday night at mid-
night, with nitroglycerine, almost to-
tally destroying plant and building. I
Editor C. R. Long and his associates,
O. S. Todd and John W. Young, have
been making a determined fight for
the enforcement of law and numerous j
threats have been made against them, j
By courtesy of another office in Sa- j
pulpa Editor Long was enabled to get i
out his regular issue Tuesday, many1
of the papers selling for $1.00 each,
and numerous offers of aid have been<
made to him. Since Long began his 1 <
activities against gambling and the
liquor interests, Bristow, Drumright,
K ifer and other towns have been
c'eanea up, and the liquor men were
getting desperate.
MONDAY NIGHT'S SHOW
Through the generosity of Ray Ber^
ry of the University Theatre the
Bresbyterian church Endeavor and
Boy's Class cleared about $18 on the j
special show Monday night.
Miss Virginia Strosler appeared in
two excellent readings. The first i
"The Woman in the Shoe Shop," byj
May Isabel Fisk, was so well rendered
that Miss Strosler resnonded with an
encore, "Almost Beyond Endurance," |
by James Whitcomb Riley. In this se-
lection Miss Strosler completely con-
vulsed her audience with her render-
ing of the crying child. She certainly
demonstrated marked talent.
Prof. Curtis played two selections
on his new trumpet and received the
heartiest of applause. The picture was
the 101 Bison, "Mother Instinct."

Berlin, June 1.—America ought to
be reasonable enough to grant Ger-
many time and the right to discuss the
facts of the Lusitania incident.
Herr Gottlieb Von Jagow, German
foreign secretary, who drafted the
German reply to the American note,
so declared in an interview with the
United Press today. He expressed the
sincere hope that further discussion of
the Lusitania incident will bring the
United States and Germany to a com-
plete understanding as to the facts in
dispute and that an agreement will be
fairly and equally determined.
"America can hardly expect us to
give up any means at our disposal to
fight our enemies," said Secretary Van
Jagow. "It is a principle with us to
defend ourselves in every possible
way. I am sure that America will be
reasonable enough to believe that our
two countries cannot discuss the Lusi-
tania matter untH both have the same
basis of facts."
Zeke Tootles, who left here nine
years ago, has returned with a fine
automobile and a roll that would
choke a hippopotamus. Folks around
here all believe he has been up to
some crooked work or other. If you
come back home a success, folks all
have their suspicions, and if you come
back home a failure they all holler,
"I told you so."
Half the world doesn't know how
the other half lives, and in fact the
other half doesn't. It only exists.
By the time a feller finally finds
out the best kind of fuel to use in his
furnace his furnace is worn out, and
he has to start all over again.
There ire worse habits than smok-
ing cigarets, undoubtedly, but I can't
think what they are.
There ain't nobuddy as wise as a
feller who has been to New York once.
A feller will kick about a 25-cent
meat bill, but will pay a $25 automo-
bile bill without a murmur.

The gink who comes in from the woods
Delivers, oftentimes, the goods
The woman with the eye3 and hair
Has seldom any brains to spare.
The finest lookin' bill of fare
With solid eats is seldom there.
The dapper chap with glossy tile
Is short on dough though long on
style.
The feller with the loudest talk
Is sure, when duty calls, to balk.
Be from Missouri, 'tis as well;
You can't most always sometimes tell.

"Gentlemen: Would you care to

"The object of the invention is to

plow is carried through the field to
operate a fan in front of the face of
the person guiding the plow.
"The invention is of a simple and

a pending U. S. application. If in-
terested we shall be pleased to sub-

The next great invention should be
