WASHINGTON papers please
copy: The Oklahoma highway
commission faced with a deep
deficit and ordered to get on a
cash basis studied the situation
and decided the best way to reduce
a deficit was to reduce it
So the highway commission not
voluntarily of course has an-
nounced deep slashes that may
wipe out the red ink in eight
months Outlying senators and
representatives whose men may
have been drOpped off the payroll
nave not yet been heard from bill
it is presumed the commission will
make the order stick until there
is cash in the bank
The wager must be on the up
and up and no dirty work at the
crossroads because "Chuck" put
Wright on the job Monday morn-
ing sure enough That will leave
the superintendent a little time
for regular duties in town and
Denny probably Lgures he's almaci
even if Val wins the 3ody pep
--
The paper made an error in re-
porting the name of the boy born
August 22 to Mr and Mrs Frank
Dotter The little fellow's name
is Kenneth Lee and not Frank
Lee as the report stated Mrs
Dotter states "Due to the fact
that the head of the household is
named Frank and another son is
named Frank Jr we feel that a
third Frank in lie family would
be most confusing"
We knew something would go
wrong in 'Monday's paper The
boss was just a little too excited
about the arrival of John Robert
Hinkel at his home They stayed
with the name of John at the boss'
house however Grandf a tiler
Hinkel's name is John Painter
Hinkel the second in line is John
Walter Hinkel and the new heir
Ls named John Robert He may be
nicknamed "Red" Hinkel howev-
er to avoid confusion
It Is all in the Niewpetht New
Dealers insist that congress didn't
do enough Southern Democrats
and Republicans will tell you that
congress did too much Come on
home boys: all is forgiven
—
If you notice anything odd about
the paper today lay it to the fact
that there's a new son at the boss'
house: Yessirl John and Pete
have a bouncing L)y—Just exact-
ly what the doctor 'ordered and
Mary and Jo the two little daugh-
ters can't posibly be as excited
as the big man in the Daily's from
office Is today Audrey Roberts
tells us that John went up those
hospital steps four at a tone not
waiting on the sometimes unre-
liable elevator and when the G
M takes steps four at a time
there's big busines$ afoot Fer
landsakes Congratulations!
We can't resist relaying a bit
of golf chatter picked up on the
Stillwater course recently Mr and
Mrs Ted Cox were playing No 9
and he was hunting his ball in
the rough near the 150-yard mark-
er Patiently waiting after a neat
tee shot down the middle Mrs
Cox suggested "I think you are
back there by the 100-yard mark-
er" The big man grunted "Say
I can hit 'em 150 yards in my
sleep"
"In my dreams" she replied
sweetly "I can hit them 250"
"Well" he grinned "I guess
that makes me a sissy"
Crab le anticipates a full nine-
months term for the public schools

all is shipshape for the school year

education but detail worries for

Trash Box Proves Poor Place to
Hide Filling Station Cash
The boys hardly knew whether
tt was a good joke or a mild
tragedy down at Bob Peek's iser-
vice Aation 123 East Sixth ave-
nue Wednesday morning
When 301 Bowyer opened the
stat ion Vednesday morning he
carried out the trash box as usual
and burned its contents he never
suspected that he was doing some-
thing amiss
But he learned shortly after-
ward that the station's over-night
cash had been hidden in the trash
box when the station closed Tues-
day night
A total of $2665 was in the box
$20 in biEs It had been burned
Down at Stillwater National bank
they said the boys probably could
collect on the eyidence produced
in ashes Serial numbers were
legible on the carefully gathered
ashes it was said

This morning's crash brings
:back memories to Otto Cray who
:once ran his own furniture store
in the same building About fif-
I teen years ago Gray recalls a
man in a Model T Ford drove
'down Main street
! His "lizzy" had no brakes so
H‘llen another auto loomed up
there was nothing left to do but
shoot right across the street to
the Gray furniture store
Well the man fell out of his
runabout but the car just went
ion and on It hit the same win-
dow that was smashed by the dog
this morning and came to rest
iwith the furniture
A crowd gathered and Gray
I seized the opportunity to get some

Please Use the Door
A sign near the gap in the win-
dow said "We appreciate your
business but please park your
car outside and come through the
door"

CHAPTER XIII
In a short time the rats be
'about thehorSes Everything was
'fine and I got the Unhobbled
hoi se and led him down to
the spring close by using the
hobble lope for a lead A small
pathway led down to the spring
pa
but it was covercd with sarri burrs
and weeds About the time the
!horse put his head down to drink
the short lead of the hobble rope
made me have to move closer to
him and in doing
so I stumbled
toward the horse He kicked and
mean that walking business was
i sure hot The sun seemed a
burning ray that heatkt the sand
'until my feet burned so that I
could hardly walk The sand
slipped about under my feet mak-

herd or not on foot But I was
out there with a horse so give out
he wouldn't lead my other horse
gotten away and afoot and a long
ways from no where My only
hope at that time was to find an-
other ranch and get me another
hprse
I crossed the lake and followed
the trail herd on for about two
miles Then I came upon the
long wings made of mesquite
farming a fence to a corral The
long wings built out were prob-
ably a trap for wild horses and
burros and cattle that were hard
:to corral The burros and my
horse followed down to the nar-
row lead of the corral pen and
I had no trouble getting them in
to the corral pen Then it was
a much simpler task of roping the
f horse I got him and made a
hackamore out of my short rope
and got on him
When I got on hiim he started
'pitching and bucking and I stay-
!ed on him across the corral pen
I jumped off and went over and
'sat down looking the horse over
and wondering what had gotten
into him I had broken this horse
mysclf and he had pitched and
bucked very little while I was
breaking him I had been tiding
'him for about eight months and
Ile had been all right 7: thought
ir would ti him again and this
1
'time he pi hed harder thi n ever
He acted 11!e a wild one
Then it came to me what was
wrong He had never been ridden
before without a saddle But that
left me another hard problem
There I was with a horse I couldn't
ride and my feet plenty sore My
saddle was way back across that
lake As I wasn't in much hu-
mor for walking back I took my
rope and hooked it in the horse's
mouth and gave him a good jerk-
ing and took a stick and pounded
him until I thought I had all the
buck out of him I got on him
to try and ride him again This
time if I hadn't jumped off he
sure would have thrown me for
he pitched and bucked like the
meanest of them
I was pretty well worn out with
it all and saw there was no use
trying to break the horse here and
that I had better get started some-
where So I started leading the
horse back the trail I had come
and across the lake to where my
saddle was
Now this was something that I
had never done before Lead a
pony because I couldn't ride him
I sure had to do it this time I
finally got back across the lake
and to my saddle What I want
to tell you is that the saddle look-
ed better to me then than anything
I could think of After saddling
the horse and getting on him
he walked off just as pretty as
you please I gave him a few
rakes with the spurs and he took
it all right
Has to Leave Horse
My give out horse had rested
some so I started down the trail
with them both In a short ways
I saw the give out horse wouldn't
make it so I put the hobbles on
him and left him and went ahead
to catch up with the trail herd
Along in the night I caught up
I Ixith the trail herd I was plenty
hungry so I got a litle something
to eat from the chuck wagon and
'that food tasted plenty good I
trolled out my i)edding and sat
!down to take off my boots but I
down to take off my booth but I
couldn't budge them I knew my
feet hurt arx1 didn't feel all right
couldn't budge them I knew my
feet hurt arx1 didn't feel all right
but thought that walking bad just
rto go back and bring him in until
be gave out and then turn him
i loose if he couldn't make it I
!went back down the trail and
!found him and this time he had
Jested and led back to the trail
I herd After this experience I made
up my mind that if anything like
!this happened again I wouldn't
bother with hunting the horse
for I will always remember going
without food sleeping with rats
and walking until my feet were
swollen to twice their normal size
! We followed on up the trail
without any mishaps to Amarillo
i Tex At Amarillo a trail cutter
goes through your herd and cuts
1 out all horses that the trail boss
does not have a bill of sale for

STILLWATER W01AN
TELLS OF TEXAS FISH
Lampasas Tex Aug 22 1937
To the Editor—Just a line or so
about fishing in Texas I have
been receiving the "Little Daily"
and enjoying it very much Think
I could get some subscriptions for
you out here
I have written some large fish
stories from Lampasas but the
foiks seem to think I am joking
Here is a clipping from the Lam-
pasas Record I saw the fish
and also know the man If you
will print this and the folks see
it in the Daily Press they'll know
it's true
HERE'S THE STORY
Vonciel Greeson ' accom-
panied by Roy Yazell Bud
Earnest and Reginald Leath-
erwood were out fishing Tues-
day night at the Teague hole
on the Colorado river The
other fellows were sleepy and
Vonciel ran the lines twice
once al)out 2 a In and later
about 5 a in The first time
he took off a large catfish
which weighed 271A2 pounds
and the next time he got the
champion of the season a
big (f e which tipped the
scales at 471:2 pounds
Have been to some wonderful
places around here and also in
Mexico Have been to see the
large government dam The dam
is two miles and three hundred
feet long eight miles across and
the lake has a depth of 150 feet
There are boat races and sail boats
and the most beautiful country
around this dam and lake—Mrs

PRISON FOR REAL CRIMINALS
' Penologists and psycnologists
vflho consider escape-proof pri-
sons Just as important crome-
kieterrents a's certain punishment
1 of the guilty should find much to
1 ' approve in the "Pennsylvania Al-
catraz" which the state plans at
Mount Gretna It is not conduc-
ive to crime reduction that a
law violator is sustained by hope
all along the line—first that he
win not be arrested next that
his sentence will be light next
that he will be paroled or pardoa-
ed after serving a fraction of his
term and in all these stages the
continuing possibility that he can
escape from prison
The new penitentiary should
minimize the latter at least En-
closed in three high stone circu-
lar walls the outside grounds con-
taining no protective trees or rocks
and surrounded by a high steel-
mesh fence the fortress will have
locks and doors and alarm sys-
tems comparable to the famed fed-
eral island prison off San Fran-
lose° Like Alcatraz the Pennsyl-
vania bastile will be reserved for
hardened criminals men whom
lordinary confinement routine
punishment and normal reforma-
tive treatment do not affect
Sentimentalists may not realize
It but some such unregenerate anti-social
persona do exist With
such an impregnable prison pro-
vided perhaps some overly-credulous
authorities may be encourag-
ed to recognize it as the place to
lock up securely even permanent-
ly those incurable parasites on the
social body whose nefariousness
Is stimulated by coddling It is
impossible to be too stern with
criminals who have scorned every
chance to mend their ways—The

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
-
By FRANK P LITSCHERT
The nomlnation of Senator
Black of Alabama to become jus
tice of the supreme court of the
United States came as a distinct
surprise to the people of America
Although it was from the first a
foregone conclusion that the nom-
inatioa would be confirmed by the
senate the opinion of a majority
of the newspapers of the countr
was critical of the appointment
Criticism was based on two pro-
positions: first that Senator
Black's legal and judicial train-
ing was not sufficient to qualify
him for the service recuired and
second that he was not tempera
mentally fitted for the position
There was much bitter debate in
the senate although the opposi-
tion to Senator Black's confirma-
tion was hoplessly in the minority
from the start The appointment
is now an established fact and
Senator Black is a member of the
most important judicial tribunal
in the world It is to be hoped
that he will confound his critic
and build a record of which his
friends can justly be proud
Aside from all criticism how-
ever—and it is now too late to
deal with the justice or injustice
of that—there are one or two facts
which ought not to be overlooked
by the peple of the United States
It has been charged that Presi-
dent Roosevelt appointed Justice
Black because he felt that the lat-
ter would be temperamentally and
Intellectually favorable to the
New Deal program A great many
people are fearful of the political
and social consequences of parts
of that program and for this rea-
son have criticized the latest ap-
pointment to the supreme court
This high tribunal is one of the
bulwarks of our constitutional gov-
ernment It has always been
counted on to protect the inno-
cent and the weak from the ruth-
less and the strong—to save the
minority when it should be saved
from the oppression of the ma-
jority We must have no dispo-
sition to minimize these all-important
functions of the supreme
court We should guard it care-
fully when it is assailed as it was
in the recent senate battle and
should realize that we are doing
this not for the welfare of the
court but for our ownfuture sal-
vation Yet at the same time it is to be
remembered that the supreme
court does not initiate legislation
nor write it into law It simply
passes on the constitutionality or
equity of cases which are brought
before it Congress is our legisla-
tive body and it plans and passes
our laws either by its own volition
or by executive suggestion It is
therefore important if we are to
preserve our economic and politi-
cal institutions that we have a
sound congress well grounded in
the fundamentals of our tradi-
tions strong enough to withstand
temporary political influence and
pres3ure If we see to this im-
portant task then there won't be
so much doubtful and ill-conceived
legislation for the supreme
court to pass on After all it is
the duty of congress to enact good
sensible laws arid it is up to the
people to choose the kind of con-
gressmen who will do this very
thing
Forgetting our duty on election
day and then praying for the su-
preme court to save us is too much
like trying to "let George do it"
After all this is a people's gov-
ernment and it Is up to the sane
and senisble people of the coun-
try to see that it remains a sound
government Don't forget this
when the congressional elections
come around next year
COLLISION INSURANCE
RATES MAY BE LOWER
Oklahoma City Aug 23--(113)---
Auto collision insurance rates pro-
bably will be reduced late Mon-
day by the state insurance board
it was indicated by Secretary Av-
ery Moore who said he understood
virtually all board members favor-
ed a reduction
Reports were that the rate would
be returned to $17 a year on moderate-priced
autos which was the
prevailing charge until a few
months ago
The rate is nbw $26 a year on
autos selling up to $700 at the fac-
tory 0
Although insurance companies
claimed a $7 per cent loss on col-
lision policies written from August
1 1935 to January 1 1936 board
members are said to have express-
ed belief that the new state high-
way patrol and the state drivers'
license law together with better
safety regulations Justify a reduc-
tion The rates a few years ago
was only $8 a year but it has been
increased several times
