CROPS GOOD, jwiLL START ! Chicago Heiress, Cured QUIET REIGNS AT TULSA
SAYS WEST INVESTIGATION Greatest Surgeon, to ACTCD 24-HOUR BATHE
County Agent West, who has jus.
returned from his vacation at Ard-
more, stated today that the old sa>
ing that "Oklahoma crops can look
the best and make the worst yield,
and look the very worst and make
the best yield," still holds good, es-
pecially the latter part. Four week
ago, according to Mr. West, crop coi.
ditions in Canadian county were not I
encouraging, and the outlook was not
the best. Today, however, crop con
ditions have improved to such an
extent that the county agent is very
optimistic over present conditions.
Mr. West has been making a crop
survey of the county for the past
few days, and says that wheat con-
ditions in general over 'he county
will average about 60 percent, barley
is in excellent condition, the oats
crop is not so good, however, aim
will only average about 50 percent
of a crop. Corn conditions are 100
percent, and Mr. West states that
the cora crop has improved wonder-
fully in the past few weeks.
In sections of the county damaged
by recent hail storms, the crop pros
pects naturally are not good, but Mr.
West's estimate covers the county as
a whole.

Chicago, June 2.—Lolita Armoui,
the only child of J. Ogden Armour,
the millionaire packer, and John J
Mitchell Jr., son of the chairman 01
the board of directors of three 01
Chicago's .largest banks, will be mar-
ried here June 18. The wedding will
unite two of Chicago's oldest ant.
wealthiest families.
Behind that social announcement
lies an intensely interesting and
gripping story of a "poor little ricfi
girl," crippled at birth, who with the
aid of the world's greatest scientists,
developed into a normal, healthy,
sport-loving woman.
The bride-to-be, when a child, show
ed signs of a serious hip trouble.
She was unable to walk and appar
ently was doomed to go through life
an invalid. The best specialists ot
the country were consulted.
An operation was performed in
1900. when the child was three years
of age, without benefit. Her parents i
sought throughout the world for I
someone to cure her. In 1902. the 1
girl's father went to Vienna lo con-1
suit with Dr. Adolph Lorenz. the !
world's most noted orthopedic surg- 1
eon. Armour appealed to the scieni- j
ist to make a trip to Chicago and at- !
tempt to cure the girl. Lorenz win |
loathe to leave his practice in Vien-
na. Armour offered to pay any am
ount if he would make the (rip. It
was finally agreed that the physician
should ''receive $100,000 and all ex-
penses for himself and staff to go X\.
OHItago and try to cure the child. ,
The surgeon attended the child in ;
the Armour home here. The surg •
eon discarded the knife and used tht j
compelling strains of straps and 1
weights as a substitute. The five-
year-old girl was under an anaes-
thetic for two hours Efforts of .
renz and his staff were centered 01. !
forcing the hip bone into the socket.
After two hours' work there was a
sharp "click." The surgeon released !
his grip on the tiny body. The bone
j had been forced into the socket. The
' operation was a success.
! A plaster cast was placed on the ,
hip and remained there six months, j
A year and a half later the girl was :
still unable to walk. However, sun:
: eons were confident that the opera
lion would be successful, if given ■
I time. In 1904, Lolita was taken to
Vienna for 1 lie final treatment at the
l ands of the famous specialist. Her j
I father carried her on board the ship
as she was still unable to walk. Dur-
ing a short stop in Vienna, she learn-
ed how to walk and when the family
; returned lo tills country, she run
down tile gangplank of the boat, and
| pliiyed as any healthy, normal child.
She later became an accomplishes
sportswoman and was noted as an
: equestinarian. Lolita has taken 1
! great interest in Chicago's charitable
institutions, but her greatest efforts
have been toward aiding institutions
I caring for crippled children.
| Following her cure, her father
1 built a two million dollar home for
j her at Lake Forest, a Chicago suburl
and called it "Melody Farm.'
! During the war she converted lie
home at Santa Barbara, Cal, into <.
hospital for American crippled sol
diers. When 20 years of age, she
was elected a trustee of the Armour

Business Is the oldest of professions,
and if it had a code of ethics it wcmld
be the most useful profession prac-
ticed by man. It serves humanity at
more points and Is more vitally con-
nected with all human interests than
1 any other. If a man is honest else-
where, but In business, what does his
honesty count for? If a man is capa-
ble elsewhere, but a dunce In busi-
ness, how Incapable he really Is! Busi-
ness Is queen of the sciences, em-
ploying and encouraging them all; a
field for the employment of all vir-
tues that man can exhibit; the one
profession capable of a dignified and
expansive oversight and patronage of
all the others. Where It falls be-
neath thf? estimate, the lack Is In
ethical pride, says Dearborn Inde-
pendent. Business can best be con-
. trolled from the motive within.
