time prohibition act affecting beers foot from Attorney Carmichael who
and wines a new organization of in-
dustry to benefit labor and promis-
ing the early return to their owners
of the railroads telegraph and tele-
phone lines of the country President j
Wilson sent his message to the new
congress.
It was the first time that the pres
ident has been compelled to address'
an all Republican congress and the
message was first read in both nous-1
es of congress instead of beina de-
livereri Dtrsonallv hefnr. inin .'
cion of the nation's law makers
It was essentially a labor message
the president stating at the outset 1 wi" bB permanently disbarred will
that this question "stands at ths'lw determined by the court after re-
front of all others in every country! viewing the testimony received in the
amidst the present great awaken-
ing." The message outlines and calls
for a "new organization of industry
by which the workers may have the
opportunity for a genuine partner-
ship" and "participation with capi-
tal." The president it is held from the
tone of the message directly spon-
sors the clogan for the so-called "lib-
eral labor" and the "progressive ele-
ment" in all countries.
Politicians in the nation's capital
saw the deepest significance in the
president's stand taken in connec-
tion with the next political cam-
paign. Senators Borah and Kenyon of the
"progressive" group in the senate
have recently spoken in support of
a new and greater consideration of
labor.
The president points out in his
message that the change must come
largely through voluntary co-operation
between capital and labor adding
that "legislation can get only a very
little way toward commanding what
shall be done."
For th most part the message
deals with the subjects in general
and its terms are necessitated the
president -tated by the fact that he
has been for so long out of daily
touch with intimate sources of infor-
mation. His specific recommendation for
the repeal or amendment of the war
time prohibition act came as a sur-
prise. The president says in his
message that he feels the emergency
has passed beyond the point where
the continued ban on wines and beers
is unnecessary but that he has no

i power to lift that ban without con
Qressional action.
The bill to repeal the war time pro
hibition act has been prepared by
Representative Sabbath of Illinois
and it is believed will be rushed to a
decision.

PRINCE WALES MAKES FLIGHT
London May 19. (Via Montreal.)
The Prince of Wales has experienc-
ed the exhilaration of looping the
loop seven times over London in an
airplane and twice experiencing the
thrill of spinning in an airplane.
This however was not the first
flight of the heir-upparent. In the
seven months he was with the Cana-
dian army in France ho frequently
made flights with a Canadian avia-
tor oce over the German lines.
INDICATE
LOOK FOR
BIG CROP
Grady Prepares for Bumper
Wheat Harvest; Binders
Selling; Will Handle
Big Yield.
That Grady county farmers arc ex-
pecting the biggest wheat harvest
on record in the county to open in a
few weeks is evidenced by the prep-
arations that are being made. Local
dealers are hooking many ordors for
binders and binding twine is being
shipped hero in quantities never be-
fore known. Also the farmers are
keeping an- eye on the labor market.
County Agent Owen estimates tint
a bindor for every five hundred acres
of wheat will he available during
harvest and if weather conditions
are ideal during the harvesting pe-
riod these machines will ho adequate
to take care of the crop. "However"
Mr. Owens said this morning "if
Grady county is visited hy frequent
rains during harvest many acres of
wheat may go to waste because of
the inability of the farmer to secure
harvest machinery. Local hardware
men and farm implement men are
not keeping a laire stock of binders
on hand and very few of these ma-
chines could be obtained immediate-
ly. "I have been told by some of the
leading hardware men of Chickasha"
he continued 'that they were not go-
ing to buy hinders except when they
received an order for one of the ma-
chines. Therefore if the working
days in the harvest season here are
cut short farmers who do not own
binders may be unable to secure the
use of one when it is vitally needed.
Everything is all well if the rains do
not interfere" he concluded.
Twine and binder supplies are also
plentious according to Agent Owens.
"The best of this material on the
market can be' bought in Chickasha
and I see no reason why the coming
harvest will not bo a remarkably
successful one if rains are not too
frequent"
Harvets season opens June 1st and
will continue for twenty-five days
Mr. Owens says.

received from Lieutenant Harry Haw-
ker daring aviator who made a dash
in an attempt to span the A'luntic

It is feared here today that he has
perished but some are clinging to
the possibility that he has been pick-
ed up by some vessel without a wire-
less being thus unable to flash the
news to the world. Scores of ships
ot all descriptjons have joined ia the

1 o'clock this morning no trace of the
plane had been found despite the
use of wireless searchlights and
flares. Tlie search it was announc
ed had turned south toward Dingle
bay. Earlier in tlie evening it had
been announced that Hawker had
landed 100 miles off Dingle bay.
News of the aviator's misfortune
caused great depression In London
where crowds had remained around
the newspaper offices all Monday af-
ternoon and evening waiting for
news of the progress of tho fl'ght.
Wife Waits Hours.
Most disappointed of all of course
was Mi'h. Hawker who waited for
her husband':! arrival tit the Brook
lands' field for several hours.
Hawker had been in the air about
twenty-nine hours at the time he was
reported to have been forcod .down.
It is considered likely that lack of
fuel made the landing necessary.
Hauwker it was known had counted
upon making the flight In a little
more than twenty hours and may not
have carried sufficient fuel for a
longer flight ...
