Oklahoma City — W. E. Hornaday,
editor of the Sulphur Post, was award-
ed the ballot printing job for the stale

fairs. .
Hornaday's bid for the entire job

separate party ballots His bids are as
follows:
* Prohibition ballots, $100; republican,
$476; socialist, $218; progressive, $476
and democratic, $1,868; total, $3,134.
Lowest bidders are as follows Muss
kogee° Phoenix, socialist ballots, $640;
prohibftlon ballots, $409.
Cooperative Printing Co., Guthrie,
progressive ballots, $1,054.30.
Warden Printing Co., Oklahoma
City, democratic ballots, $1,866.09.
Since the advertisement for bids
■was made, the board has decided to
have several thousand more ballots
printed which will increase the
amount of Hornaday’s bid in propor-
tion to the cost of the other ballots.
Secretary Joe Morris of the state
election board gave out the following
statement outlining the rotation plan
adopted by the board, and which will
be carried out in the preparation of
the ballots, us follows:
"The plan*ndopted by thjs state elec-
tion board for*the rotation of names
on the state ballot in the August pri-
mary, as required by the new electiotf
law, is as follows:
"The county is taken as a unit, as
the names of tho candidates for mem-
bers of Ihe ionise of representatives of
the slate legislature elected from t^n-
city, aro placed on the state ballot.
Then taking the county as a unit di-
vide the total number of ballots re-
quired in each county by the most
numerous candidates running for any
■Ingle oflice. In the case of Aie dem-
ocratic ticket the largest number of
candidates for any one oflice, are for
lieutenant governor, where there are
ten aspirants. The number ten then
becomes the number to divide into the
total number of ballots required in
each county.
This will require ten changes In the
ballots for each county as follows:
"The first run of ballots for etfch
■eparate county shall be in number
equal to one-tenth of the total number
required for such county. The form
on each such additional number of
ballots for such county shall be
changed on the second run and on
each succeeding run by lifting the top
name of each group of candidates for
each separate named oflice and plac-
ing the same at the bottom of such
llBt. •
"Each run made shall be kept sep-
arate until the eutlre run is completed.
Then they shall be assembled into one
series by alternating Ihe ballot* of
the Beveral runs, viz: takes one ballot
from each separate run and assemble
them together, then repeat the ar-
rangement until all ballots have been
arranged alternately into one group or
series. Said ballots when so assembled
shall be numbered, bound and desig-

Cherokee.—The first use of the
'warehouse provision of the laws of
Oklahoma being coupled with the anti
trust statute was made by Judge Steen
ir* the district court here in granting
a license to the Kansas Flour Mills
Company. The mills made application
for a permit to do business as a pub-
lic warehouse, the object being the
storing of wheat for winter grinding
and in granting the license Judge
Steen invoked the anti trust statute in
the following terms:
"The license is issued on the condi-
tions that the applicant does not be-
come a member of or affiliate with any
trust, monopoly, combination or asso-
ciation. with persons or corporations
having the object of controlling the
price of wheat or any other cereal, or j
the manufactured products thereof
handled by applicants. Also that ap- |
pllcant does not violate any of the
provisions of chapter 79 of the laws !
of Oklahoma ss compiled in 1910.”
The warehouse law provides that a
firm or corporation engaged in the
buying of wheat, which stores wheat
ima capacity of more than 25,000 bush-
els must make application to the dis- j
trict court for a permit to operate a
public warehouse. Judge Steen stat-

Washington—The story of the “feck-,
/ess and profigate” financial opera-
tions of the New Haven railroad,* one
of the most remarkable chauffers in
the history of American railroading
and American finance, was revealed
in part by the interstate commerce
commission in a report to the senate
of investigations of that road.
It told of millions used like stage
money, of corporations as pawns in a
monstei*game with all New England's
transportation as a prize which led
the New Haven in the ten years just
passed from the height of prosperity
to the point where a dividend has
Jueen passed and where criminal suit,
is threatening and where (Criminal in-
ducements of many of the directors
who figured in deals are at least a
possibility.
Hampered by unwilling witnesses,
by burned books and by all the mazes
which lawyers invented to cover the
trailt the committee estimated that in
the progress toward monopolization
of New Haven stockholders liave lost
between $65,000,000 and $90,000,000
but little of which they may recovef.
Burden for Years to Come.
In return, the report said, they have
on their hands properties which pay
no dividends, which eiit into the earn-
of Hi* parent road and which will
be a burden on its capacity for many
years to come.
The New Haven combination, reared
by Charles 5. Mellen and approved by
the late J. P. Morgan and Wm. Rock-
efeller, the commission finds to be
clearly in violation of the 81 n
anti-trust law and a monopoly in prac-
tical control of the transportation of
five states. .

An Apposite Choice.
Bishop Evans Tyroe at a dinner itx
Nashville was asked if he had any
idea of preaching on the new fashions
—the backless evening gown, slashed
sfiirt and so forth.
"No,” Miid the bishop; “such an idea
has not occurred to me. If, however, I
should pn^ich on the new fashions I
would assuredly choose my text from
Kevelatlon.”
Domestic discord is the apple. The
man in the case gets the core.
WRONG BREAKFAST.
Change Gave Rugged Health.
Many persons think that for
strength, they must begin the day
with a breakfast of meat and other
heavy foods. This is a mistake as
anyone can easily discover for him-
self.
A W. Va. carpenter's experience
may benefit others. He writes:
"I used to be a very heavy break-
fast eater but finally Indigestion
caused mo such distress, X becamei
afraid teat anything.
"My w ife suggested a trial of Grape-
Nuts and as l had to eat something
or starve, I concluded to take her
advice. She fixed me up a dish and
I remarked at the time that the qual-
ity was all right, but the quantity waa
too small—1 wanted a saucerful. *
"But she said a small amount of
Grape-Nuts went a long w ay and that
I must eat It according to directions.
So I started In with Grape-Nuts and
cream, two soft boiled eggs and some
crisp toast for breakfast.
”1 cut out meats and a lot of other
stuff I had been used to eating all
my life and was gratified to see that
I was getting better right along. I
concluded I had struck the right thing
and stuck to it. I had not only been
eating improper food, but too much.
"I was working at the carpenter^
trade at that time and thought that
unless I had a hearty breakfast with
plenty of meat, I would play out be-
fore dinner. But after a few days of
my “new breakfast" I found 1 could
do more work, felt better In every
way, and now I am not bothered with
indigestion."

FURNISHED BOND OF AMITY
'Discomfited “Good Samaritan” the Un-
willing Means of Brl'nqlng Rival
Humorists Together.
Once upon a time two humorists
dwelt in the same small town and both
contributed to the Sunday Star. As
was but natural, they became wildly
Jealous of each other, and when one
would win a little more prominence
than his fellow the other would have
seven kinds of fits. '“Your Pleasant
Valley .Items give me a pain!" quoth
one. "Your prose rhymes make me
ill!" retorted the other. As they were
about to come to blows there ap-
peared on tlje scene a Good Samaritan
and to him they appealed. “Which of
us is the funnier?” they asked. “Neith-
er'" was the prompt reply. "Yotf are
both as unfunny as wart hogs, and as
tiresome as a trip across the Sahara!”
Thereat they both set upon the gen-
tleman from Samaria and beat him
full sore, and dwelt together in amity
foreyer after.
Moral: From this we should learn
that \Miile humorists delight in quar-
reling among themselves, they fre-
quently resent criticism from outsid-
ers —Kansas City Star.

" ‘Is that so?’ said I.
” And the dook once drunk ’is beer
