19 YEAR OLD BRIDE
PERISHES IN FLAMES
Mrs. Mary Pounds 19 year old bride
of Jim Pounds of Kellyville was burned
to death Sunday afternoon in the
Pounds home two miles out of Kelly-
ville, when the kerosene with which she
was attempting to light a fire exploded.
At the time of the fatal explosion
Mr. Pounds was in the fields and it was
not until after neighbors had rushed
to the scene and made ineffectual efforts
to save the young girl that he was noti-
fied.
People in the vicinity noticed the
smoke coming from the house where
the Pounds family lived and went to
investigate but arrived too late to save
the woman who had been suffocated
by the fumes of the burning oil and the
smoke.
Although no complete investigation
was possible it was thought that Mrs.
Pounds had attempted to ignite a pile
of kindling in the stove by pouring oil
over it and that in some way the con-
tainer caught fire and exploded.
The youthful bride w as buried Tues-
day afternoon from the chapel of the
Mitchell-Fleming Undertaking Co. of
Sapulpa.

Liberal receipts of plitin to fair fat
cattle turned prices down 25 to 50 cents
for them hut good to choice grades,
whether grain or grass fed, were fully
steady. Top yearlings brought $16.50,
heavy steers $16.50, and grass fat steers
$14.25. Hogs were up 25 to 40 cents
to the highest position in more than two
months past top $15.25. Sheep and
lambs sold readily at firm prices.
Receipts today were 14,00 cattle,
8,000 hogs and 4,000 shepp, compared
with 9,000 cattle, 9,000 hogs and 5,(XX)
sheep a week ago; and 11.500 cattle.
17,500 sheep and 8,550 sheep a year ago.
Last week's big advance in cattle
prices attracted incre.tsH receipts to-
day, and the upswing in prices was
checked by declines in plain to fair
kinds. The good classes, however,
were fully steady and in active demand.
Indications are that full fed cattle from
now on will sell still higher. Year-
ling steers today sold up to $16.50, or as
high as any time last week, and heavy
corn fat steers brought $1 >.50 to $16.50.
Grass fat steers sold up to $14.25 and
some fed grain on grass up to $15.50.
In the quarantine division steers brut
$11.25 to $13.00. Cows and heifers
were steady to 25 cents lower, veal
calves and bulls steady.
Prices for thin cattle that showed
quality were fully steady but there were
lots of common Stockers and feedeis
that sold lower. General demand,
however, shows a broadening tendency
and indications are that good quality
thin cattle will continue to sell well.
Hog prices were up 25 to 40 cents
today, making ore <.f the biggest gains
on any day in several months past.
At the ran t time quotations were tak :
into the highest position in mure than
two months. The top price today vj
$15.25 and the bulk of tiie offerings
brought $14.60 to $15.50. Shippers
were in the market strong and took
most of the medium and light weigh*
hogs. Pigs were 25 to 35 cents higher
at $.2.25 to $12.85.
Sheep and lambs were in active de-
mand. A big string of Arizona spring
lamb- sold at $16.75 native lambs up to
$17.00 and Texas clipped yearlings and
lambs mixed half to killers at $11.75
and half to feeders at $9.25. Texas

A ROUGHAGE RESERVE.
1 he feeding of cottonseed cake does
not do away with the necessity for
roughage, either in the form of range
forage or in some other form. The
di\ cured forage on the range will us-
ually meet this need, hut in case of
prolonged drought, such as occasionally
comes in the Southwest, the supply of
range feed may become exhausted. To
meet such emergencies, it would be a
distinct advantage to accumulate a re-
serve supply of roughage in the form of
ha\ or ensilage during the more fav-
pr°' orable years.

ELECTRIC CLEANING
is not only efficient and labor-saving, but it is likewise distinctly
economical. Rugs cleaned Electrically are not submitted to the
wear of the thread-tearing broon, nor the rough treatment of the
resounding carpet beater. Thus, the life of the rug is very appre-
ciably prolonged.
You will marvel at the ease and thoroughness with which the new
FYcctric Cleaners do their work. You will hardly believe it possible
that with so little effort such wonderful cleanliness will result.
