CHANDLER WINS COUNTY MEET.
Day Wa-s Ideal—llig Crowds Witness
All Kveilts—Some Good Records
Made*—Tin* Grades Show I’p Well.
The twelfth annual contest of the
schools of Lincoln county, in athletic
and literary events, was held in Chan-
dler last Friday and Saturday. The
first day, Friday, was devoted to the
contests in spelling and arithmetic.
Saturday morning, at the fair-
grounds, east of town, the grades
held their athletic contest. In the
afternoon were held the athletic
events in which high school students
were contestants. Saturday night,
at the Egbert opera house, occurred
the contest in oratory and recitation.
The crowd, at the opera house, was
so large that many were turned away.
The weather man was on his good
behavior, the track was in the best
posible condition, the crowd was
happy and good natured and every-
thing passed off without a hitch and
without argument.
Spelling.
In this contest Chandler won two
firsts. Davie Heilman carrying off
the honors for the advanced spelling
with Herbert Hall of Carney, second.
Harry Gilstrap, Jr., won for the inter-
mediates. Quite a number of con-
testants lined up at the start but the
list rapidly dwindled down to a few.
* Arithmetic.
This was another interesting con-
test and one in which the contestants
showed marked ability. Hoy Robert-
son of Carney won first place with
Raymond Brown of Banner a close
second.
Athletics——Grades.
Chandler lads won the meet with
23 points to their credit, the next
closest being Dooley of Stone school
with IS points. Following is the list
of winners in each event:

port, 2nd; Harrison Walley, Chan-
dler, 3rd Time, 11 seconds.
(S. II. S.) “Shot Henry Starr’’, and
his every appearance brought forth
a lot of good natured jollying.
The Davenport cornet band was
early on hand and rendered excellent
service. Their music was greatly en-
joyed by the crowd.
While no records were broken,
still, all events were hotly contested
and no one man had a walk-a-wav.
The absence of any sort of rough
work was noticeable and was appre-
ciated by the crowd.
Quite a number of the visitors took
advantage of the free motion picture
given by Chandler business men Sat-
urday afternoon.
On Saturday the town was liter-
ally smothered with automobiles.
They were here from every town in
the county.
CO. II TO THE BACKS.
Twenty-five men of Co. B, Okla-
homa national guard, officered by
Captain Gilstrap and Lt. Wheeler,
left Chandler Wednesday morning,
for Oklahoma City, where tfiey will
assist other guardsmen and the city
police force in controlling the crowds
during the automobile races in prog-
ress 1n Oklahoma City this week.
Once more has the efficiency of
the Chandler militia been proven.
Captain Gilstrap received his orders
late Tuesday evening and within
three hours he had twenty-five men
at the armory ready to go. This is
rather remarkable when it is under-
stood that there is no pay attached
to this duty, the officers and men
receive expenses only. The twenty-
five, besides the two officers, are:

OKLAHOMA’S ROAD LAWS.
Effective June 1 the model road
law of Oklahoma will revise con-
struction of the highways of the
state. If the counties of the state
take advantage pf the new system
of taxation for road building, there
will be available approximately $6,-
000,000 after January 1, 1916, for
road construction. This is half as
much again as the state has enjoyed
for this puriKise. The surplus over
the regulatory measures now effect-
ive will accrue from au additonal 3-
mill tax under the model law for
highway construction.
In the state of Oklahoma there are
178,000 miles of roads in the sec-
tions; 75,000 miles of these high-
ways have been opened; 4 0,000 miles
are traveled; 20,000 miles are cal-
culated to be passable to vehicles;
, 10,000 miles are iu a fair condition.

The. European war cloud burst at
the psychological moment In the
career of wireless telegraphy, for
only very recently has the art based
on the science of ether waves been
reduced to the reliable basts of a
sound ludustry. Five years ago, or
even less, wireless could not have re-
sponded to the exacting demands
which this war is putting uik>i) it.
At the beginning of hostilities
cables and telegraph lines were ruth-
lessly cut. Germany, more than any
other belligerent, bus been in an ex-
ceedingly trying position as regards j normal bv the following* day^The

been cut or disconnected, so that now j time as the bottom lands in those
her only electrical communication | valley* were overflowed whereas the
enemy's lines from a base at which
a knapsack station is located, lt is
rarely necessary for the aeroplane to
fi.v to a greater distance than two’or
three miles from this base. As he
flies over the enemy, the operator
telegraphs the condition or maneuv-
ers of the enemy to the knapsack sta-
tion. Surprises on both sides are
constantly being frustrated in this
manner. As a matter of incidental
interest, it is duo principally to this
fact that there have been no record-
ed surprise attacks made by either
side on tin* Franco-German frontier
and that a deadlock exists now.
The wireless telegraph comprises
an important part of the equipment
of Zeppelins, Much greater trans-
mitting power, due to a larger space
allotment, is made possible on the
Zeppelins and French dirigible*. A
greater range also results from the
use of a larger antennae system.
A wireless direction finder, to sup-
plement tin* aeroplane spying service,
has recently been adopted by the
British for the purpose of locating
wireless stations at German artillery
bases, When the approximate loca-
tion of a battery is thus lOUDd, the
British and French guns are trained

who recently visited this country,
made the statement that by means of
one of the field direction finders the
exari location of the admiral’s ship
of tin* "hidden’* German fleet had
been discovered by an officer.
The secrecy of the Interior of sub-
I marines is proverbial, blit it has been
stated on authority that a wireless
equipment ot' short range is in use
on the majority of underwater craft.
When a submarine is cruising on the
surface, a short mast, or the jmtI-
1 scope tube, is used for suspending a
small antennae system. The equip-
ment closely resembles the aeroplane
j installations. For an aerial conduc-
tor, when the craft is traveling sub-
merged, aii Insulated jet of water is
j substituted for tin* regular antennae.

THE NORTH ROAD WINS.
Spirited Contest for IkM Roiul Be-
tween Chandler and Daveii|»oi*t
Etuhil Last Friday When the View-
ers Made Their R«*|Mirt.
Some weeks ago, during a meeting
of the F. (). T. association, held in
Chandler, tin* propositon of deciding
which of the two roads between
(’handler and Davenport Hhould be
recommended as being a portion of
the official iruil came on for discus-
sion. Representatives from both the
north and south roads were present
and urged the advantages of their
respective roads. It was finally de-
cided to put the matter up to a com-
mittee of three disinterested parties,
not residents of either Chandler or
Davenport. In furtherance of this
decision Col. H. A. Frank of Bris-
tow. Fred Richardson of Wellston
and O. K. Unglesby of Stroud, three
well known good roads men. were
appointed as the viewers, their de-
vision to be final.
Last Friday afternoon was the
time set for the committee to go
over both roads, inspect them and
report. Messrs. Frank and Unglesby
arrived on schedule time, but Mr.
Richardson, who started in his car
from Wellston, got stuck in the Deep
Fork bottoms ami was unable to flit
his appointment. However it was
decided to let Messrs. Frank and
Unglesby go ahead with the Inspec-
tion, make their reports separately,
then compare them; and. In the event
they differed to have Mr. Richardson
make his inspection later on. But,
if the two agreed on the same route,
that would settle it.
The viewers uccompanied by ten
auto loads of boosters and represen-
tatives ot each of the contesting
roads, going both ways. When they
each had made their decision It was
found that both had decided in favor
of the north road.
While the workers on this road
were highly elated over the decision
it is not surprising that the south-
siders were disappointed. One thing
is certain, and that is, that both
roads an* in dandy shape and repre-
sent an immense lot of hard work
on thr part of the residents along
tin- line. And, further, the fact that
both roads are in such excellent con-
dition, only goes to prove what can
he accomplished in a short time when
all concerned work harmoniously to-
gether. This should be an incentive
to those residing in other parts of
the county to get together and do
likewise

tor he ia a good roads booster and
knows how to make good roads.
Jim McCoy was out on the roads
Wednesday, commencing at the Star
Valley school house, and worked
north. He graded one-half mile of
road, putting It iu fine Hhupe. Jim
wants a drag and ought to have one.
He had with him J II Maxwell, Ixh>
Maxwell, J. H. Christy, E. C. Ingram,
J C. Mansfield, and several irthers.
One thing that we like alwint this
work is that it is all good, substantial
work. There should be a drag lo-
cated ou the Deep Fork button on the
road to Midlothian and one south of
the John Gilmore corner with some
one to drag the bottom roads. These
could be made the finest roads along
tho Deop Fork.
