FEDERAL LAW PERMITS OKLA
HOMANS TO KILL WILD FOWL
TO FEBRUARY 1.
Washington.—With the approach ol
the open season for shooting the wild
fowl, the United States department ol
agriculture is warning sportsmen that
the federal regulations as amended
October 1, 1914, will be strictly en
forced. Some misunderstanding has
arisen from the fact that the various
state laws do not always conform to
the federal regulations. This is re
garded as unfortunte, but in such
cses the deprtment must insist upon
the observance of the federal regula-
tions.
Federal regulations divide the
United States into two zones. Zone
No. 1, the breeding zone, includes the
states of Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, Ne-
braska. Iowa. Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and
all states north of them. Zone No. 2,
the wintering zone, include all states
south of those named.
The regulations prescribe the sea
son as follows for Zone No. 2, in whicb
Oklahoma is located:

Backache is Discouraging
Nothing is more discouraging
than a constant backache. Lame
when you awaken, pains pierce you
when you bend or lift. It's hard to
work or to rest. Backache often
indicates bad kidneys. If the urine
is disordered, passages too fre-
qufent or scanty, there is further
proof. Delay is dangerous. Prompt
use of Doan'B Kidney Pills now
may spare you serious trouble later.
Doan's is the world's best-recom-
mended kidney remedy.
An Oklahoma Case
John F. Busby,
725 E. Ninth St.,
Oklahoma City,
Okla., says: "My
kidneys were in
bad shape and I
had sharp, shoot-
ing pains through
my back. I was so
miserable I couldn't
stoop and had to
lay off from work
for several days. My kidneys acted ir-
regularly. Doan's Kidney Pills
strengthened my kidneys and two
boxes rid me of the trouble."

McBri le Letter Clears Meyer.
To friends at the state house Leo
Meyer, formerly secretary of s>tate of
Oklahoma, is exhibiting a photo-
graphic reproduction of the McBrine
letter, written from the state peni-
tentiary, July 6, 1915, that exonerates
Meyer of charges that caused the
former state secretary's retirement
from office.
It is said that, after his conviction,
W. R. McBrine remarked to Judge
A. H. Houston of Guthrie his only
regret was that he had not killed At-
torney General Charles West and that
he had done anything to injure Leo
Meyer.
The letter, which was written inside
the penitentiary at McAlester, dated
July 6, 1915, and is attested by W.
C. Kendall, notary public, reads, in
part:
"Theefore, for the benefit of the
public, your family, ana yourself, I re-
tract anything I have said or done,
connecting you in any way whatsoever
with these, transactions. •
'I am writing this of my own free
II and accord and trust that it will
be accepted with the same sincerity in
which it is written.
"You may use this letter in any
way you desire to further your com>
plete vindication."
Large Increases Ordered by Board.
Taxable valuation of the Sidney L.
Brock Drygoods Company's stock of
merchandise was raised by the county
board of equalization from $49,000 to
$75,000, the increase being ordered
after the members of the board
leared of the price paid when the
Rorabaugh sydicate recently acquired
a big interest in the corporation.
An even larger raise was made by
the board in the case of the Okla-
homa Furniture Manufacturing Com
pany. This concern was raised from
$13,000 to $75,000. Figures obtained
by the board showed the company's
stock of merchandise to be valued at
$77,000, and its open accounts
I amounted to $50,000. The company
had returned its valuation for taxa-
tion at $13,000, and this was accepted
by the assessor.
The board reduced the Lee-Hucklns
Hotel Company's Improvements to
£342,000, a reduction of about $18,000.
The packing plants and the Okla-
homa National Stockyards Company
were not considered. It was said that
they would be brought up one day
ihis week. The packing companies
have filed protests to raises from
$250,000 to $500,000.
BOTH ADEPTS IN DECEIT
How Signals Arranged for Between
Soldier and His Wife Really
Were Carried On.
The captain had not been long mar-
ried when he was ordered into camp.
To be sure, the camp was in plain
sight of the captain's residence, but
then it was still a separation; and to
lighten this terrible condition it was
arranged that the bereaved husband
and wife should signal to each other
often with their handkerchiefs. It was
on the second day that the young wife
was seated on the porch reading. "Tell
me, Jane," said she, "is the captain
still signaling?" "Yes, ma'am," an-
swered the maid. "Then keep waving
your handkerchief. I want to finish
this novel." At the same time, in
camp an officer from an adjoining
company stepped up to the captain.
"I say, old fellow," he asked, "why do
you keep that man out there all day
waving a handkerchief?" "Oh, it's
merely a bit of signal-code practice for
him."
Use Aeroplanes to Hunt Seals.
Difficulty experienced this past sea-
son in locating seal herds in northern
waters has caused the owners of seal-
ing ships to give serious considera-
tion to employing aeroplanes in next
year's hunt. These craft of the air,
t,hey believe, can scout more cheaply
and with less waste of time than the
sealing ships, themselves. Small aero-
planes, designed especially for the
purpose, are looked upon as entirely
feasible. Through their use, seal
herds will be located and reported to
the vessel which can then make for
the spot indicated.
Perfectly at Home.
"Are the summer boarders making
themselves at home?"
"Yep," replied Farmer Corntossel;
"they sit down to the table and kick
about the food same as if they was
among 'their own relations."
A Treat for Ma.
"Yes, we girls are going to camp
out."
"Oh, we are going to take mother
along to cook. She needs a vacation

"How enchanting!" exclaimed one
