Need Just This Tonic Treatment
to Build Them Up.
The first thing to do when threatened
with nervous trouble In to stop the cause
of it. If possible, whether It Is Irregular
living, worry, or whatever It may be.
Then the nerves must b« given fpecij!
nourishment and the blood must be kept
pure and rich. This Is the mission of
Or. Williams' Pink PHls and this Is why
the pills have been used with such great
success in nervous trouble that did not
yield to ordinary methods of treatment.
These pills are a tonic for both men
and women but are specially adapted
for girls and women of all ages, and give
just the aid required to bring back
health and strength to the nervous and
exhausted as Is shown by the experience
of Mrs. K. P. Taylor, of Oakland, lvan3.
Bhe says:
"I am glad to recommend Dr. \\ li-
tems' pink Pills to weak and nervous
women, because they build and tone up
the whole system and give lasting bene-
fit. some years ago I had nervous de-
bility and seemed to be on the verge m

think 1 was getting better but as soon
as I quit taking his medicine I would
become as bad as ever. I had been sick
for over two years, before 1 decided to
try Dr. Williams' Pink Tills. A few
boxe* proved to me that the pills were
helping me and I used tliein until en-
tirely cured. I occasionally take the
pill now a« a tonic and always find
immediate relief."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain the
elements necessary to make new blood
and, as the nerves get their nourishment
from the blood, have been found Jnvalu-

blood and nerves, such as rheumatism,
after-effects of the grip and

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.—Bearish statis-

hub. The movement for better roads I
inaugurated here by H. M. Johnson,
president of the First National Bank
f Chandler, recently resulted In the
ounty voting $200,000 in road im-
ment bonds, sufficient to finish be-
tween thirty and forty miles.
It is planned to begin on the west-
ern county line, near Wellston, work
east through Warwick, Chandler,
Davenport and Stroud to the Creek
County line, the survey ftfr which
marks ^thirty-three miles. Oklahoma
County, on the west, has been investi-
gating the project with a view of con-
tinuing the work to Oklahoma City.
Creek County Commissioners, on the
east, favor carrying the improvement
northeast through their Jurisdiction,
touching Depew, Bristow, Kelleyville,
Sapulpa and Taneha. On the north
Washington County is laboring with
the problem of a north and south
county road through Bartlesville, Mato
ka, Ochelata, Ramona and Vera, to
the southern county line. If Tulsa
County can be induced to Join in the
road building, the highway will be
complete from Oklahoma City to the
Kansas line, south of Caney, a dis-
tance of approximately 250 miles, or
half across the state.
OTHER ROUTES IN PROSPECT
wheat crop of the world to the 262,-
640,000 bushel larger than that of pre-
vious year, wheat traders finally were
aroused by the report of a local crop
pert which placed the winter crop
of wheat of the United States in the
neighborhood of 425,000,000 bushel and
sold freely in the late session. As a
result of this selling prices broke from
1 1-4 to 1 l-2c in the final hour. Cash
demand here was poor and weather
conditions In the nortwest were fai
able for harvesting and threshing.
CORN
The Oklahoma crop report given out
late yesterday which showed a further
deterioration in the condition of the
corn crop during Aupgust, and a re-
port of a local crop expert, which
claimed a falling off of 233,000,000
bushel In the total yield of corn for
the United States were the basis of a
heavy buying movement In the corn
market which caused sharp advances
In all deliveries. There was some
realizing at the top and prices at the
close were about l-2c below the best
marks.
OATS
Oats scored a substantial advance.
The market closed with prices up l--'
at 5-8 to 3-4<n>7-8c.

ABOUT OIL IN OKLAHOMA.
Department Officials Much Con-
cerned Over Rapid Reductions
Price, Because Royalties to In-
dians Are Cut Down According.
iy.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.—Dana A.
Kelsey, superintendent of Union In-
dian Agency in Oklahoma, was in
consultation today with Acting Sec-
retary Pierce of the Interior Depart-
ment relative to the price of oil in
Oklahoma. Mr. Kelsey arrive 1 today
and the subject was under considera-
tion for several hours.
The department officiate are much
concerned over the rapid reductions
in the price of oil, because they cut
down the royalties to the Indians, but
so far they have been unable to de
vise any means of relief.
The department will go into the sub
Ject in detail and, if possible, will af
ford assistance to the nation'.? wards.
The subject is regarded as of so much
Importance that considerable trnie
will be required to reach a conzluslon.

At 8-30 o'clock yesterday morninr,
L«uie and Temple Abernathy. Ilie
younthful planismcn, hit the trail from
Roswell, N. >1., on their way to Santu
Ke.
The father of the boys, United State*
Marshal J. R. Abernathy, wired them
Saturday morning to forego their trip
and reman at Boswell nntll ho Joined
them, but his message, but Ills incssn?e
was too late, the boys having had a
Rood rest had risen early and were al-
ready on their way when the message
was rellvered to Mayor Richardson 01
Roswell.
The youths expect to reach Santa Ke
by next Tuesday, where they will remain
until joined by their father, who expeCs
to leave for that cPy Tuesday morn,
lng. Marshal Abernathy stated that ow-
ing to tne press of business it —ould b?
1r..possible for him to 'remain 'n Sa -'f

fact that they will be better acquainted
with the country through which they will
pass.
While in Roswell.the boys fell among
friends, as Sheriff Ballard of that coun-j
try was a member of Roosvelt's Rough
Riders with their father. While there a
picture of the boys in company with
Mayor Richardson and Sheriff Ballard
was taken and will soon adorn the walls
of the United States marshal's office
In this city.
Lincoln County's energy will not
wear out with Its first project. The
county will agree to make other bond
issues in promoting a good roadway
to Muskogee from Chandler east, with
Okfuskee, Okmulgee and Muskogee
Counties financing the work through
their jurisdictions. Such a highway
would connect Chandler and Musko
gee with the cities of Okemah, Henry-
etta and Okmulgee.
Tho general course of a third public
highway extends north out of Lincoln
County to Stillwater, through the
towns of Kendrick, Cushing. Ripley
and Mehan, and from Chandler, or
near there, south through Sparks,
Payson and Meeker to the Pottawa-
tomie County line, lith a tacit agree-
ment for Pottawatomie County to
carry the work to its southern boun-
dary through Shawnee and Tecumseh.
McLain County will aid by connecting
the improved roadway into Garvin
County, and the latter will be expected
to build it as far as Pauls Valley and
Wynnewood. In addition, Logan
County, which is accredited with hav
ing the worst roads in Oklahoma, 1
preparing to float bonds for a north
and south, east and west road system,
which could be connected with the
other main highway at Oklahoma City
or souther st of* Guthrie.
The Muskogee road from Chandler
would be about 100 miles, and tho
Stillwater-Garvin County connection
through Lincoln County, between 125
and 150 miles. In their entirety, the
projects mean anywhere between 550
and 650 miles of improved highway,
that with ordinary care should last a
lifetime.
PETROLYTHIC PROCESS
Lincoln County will lay a petrolythic
road, a vigorous combination of oil.
rock and earth, now in general use on
the Pacific Slope. Mr. Johnson re-
cently inspected petrolythic roads in
California. They had been in use for
fifteen years without signs of decay-
ing or wearing. A short stretch is
being put down into El Paso, Tex., but
in general this character of road is
new east of the Rocky Mountains.
According to government experts, who
are here aiding the local work, the cost
Is between $5,000 and $ !.000 per mile, oi
about $200,000 for Lincoln County's un-
dertaking from Wellston to Stroud. Tn
Chandler three squares of one street
have been finished with oil and rock.
It Is necessary to plough the road to a
depth of about ten Inches, harrow well
and then spray with California oil, hav-
ing a heavy asphaltum base. Another
plowing, harrowing and spraying fol-
lows. men a layer of crushed rock is
added, with a third plowing, harrowing,
and spray of oil, and then tho surface
is ready for a good rolling.
Lincoln county has little rook suitable
for a lasting road, which item alwne
serves to Increase the cost of Its con-
struction work. Tho asph.'iltum base n
the oil affords a binding or cementing
action that tends to harden the surfa"'

NEW YORK COTTCN
NEW YORK. Sept. 1—Today's
ton market was quiet and more or less
Irregular with early gains followed by
realizing for over the government re-
port. The close -was steady, net 3
n<V Tn highnr to four points lower;
generally 2 to 4 points lower on active
months.
The market opened steady at- a d
eline of 3 points to an advance of
points, some positions being influenced
by dl^uppolnting cables wltle others
felt the effect of a bullish private report
making the condition of the crop sixty
six per cent and showing deterioration
of about 1 per rent for the month.
At first this report confirming expec-
tations of a bullish bureau at noon to-
morrow, created some scattered demand
on which prices sold up to a net ad-
vance of and 7 points shortly after th
opening, but offering increased on the
bulge and the market later, while very
quiet, has a tendency to take profits on
long lines for over the government re-
port and the approaching holidays. Sell-
ing may have been encouraged to some
xtent by rumors that considerable short
staple cotton was to be brought here
from Texas for delivery on October con
tracts and talk of offerings from the
south and Liverpool but It looked like
realizing rather than bear pressure and
was chiefly for Wall street account.
At the low point active months showed
a net loss of 5 and 7 points, closing at
a flight rally as a result of covering.

of 15 per cent of tho voters being pre-
sented to the count clerK. To build
the road the district property is required
to pay 75 per cent, and the county 25
per cent of tho cost. In no case may the
bond Issue exceed 5 P«*r cc*.«t of the
road district s total taxable values, and
an then only be made upon three-
fourths vote of the property owners.
The county is limited to 2 per cent on iti
tax value, also on a three-fifths vote,
Bonds bear f> per cent interest, and are
payable at the end of twenty-five year
In the creation of highway districts
Lincoln county included railroad routes
and natural gas pipe lines, which public
serlvce corporations are made to bear
the road improvement bond tax in pro-
portion to their assessed valuations.
is estimated that Lincoln county land
owners will pay 30 per cent of the route
from Wellston to Stroud, and in general
the same estimate will apply to other
counties In the Oklahoma City-Bartles-
ville project.
Counties may procure convicts
road work. They may use the county
convicts without limit and can do like-
wise with the prlsones of a city upon
agreement with tne city. The new road |
law gives authority to the State Board
of Control to loan the State's penal pris-
oners to counties for road work. The
State is made to furnish everything ex-
cept food, medical attention and mate-
rial for making the road. Counties may
only have State convicts for five months
In the year, and are limited to 100 at a
time. Oklahoma is working her convicts
in the construction of a penitentiary at
McAlester, and until this is completed,
the Stale can give little attention to gen-
real' road Improvement.
PRE-IDENT YOAKUM'S PLAN.
President Yoakum of the Rock Island-I _nrp qw/ pw
Frisco System, in his Shawnee speech to CHICAGO LlVilj OIUUJV
the State Farmers' TTnion, offered a good J CHICAGO, Sept. 1.—Cattle best stead
road plan which. If successfully carried! to strong, others
out, will materially help counties In
their Improvements. When a town is
particularly ambitious for a railroad,
and is willing to give a bouns of say
$100,000, he would lirr'". the railroad's re-
ceipt to the right to pass through the
town, with terminal facilities, costing
probabiy $2."i.0(V) or more, and require
the town to spend the remainder of the
bonus in bettering all the wagon roads
entering the town. Value of this sug-
gestion is found in the fact that with de-
sirable wagon roads the farmer would
be In a more satisfactory position to the
carrying company, and be the means of
creating an additional amount of busi-
ness **Mch both the town and *he car-
rying company would benefit.

Assistant Attorney General Reeves
Holds University Professors Are
Not Entitled to Compensation
for "Systematizing the Affairs
of the Institution."
That R. V. Temming and F. C- Kent,
professors at the Central State Normal
School at Edmond, are not entitled to
receive any pay for extra work in
•'systematizing the affairs of the insti-
tution." is the holding of Assistant At-
torney General W. C. Reeves in an opin-
ion to State Auditor M. E. Trapp. Mr.
Keeves states that the vouchers submit-
ted to him by the Auditor are not suf-
ficiefttly explicit as to what work was
lone and the auditor should not issue
warrants on any of them anyway.
In no event," he says, "would they
entitled to receive compensation from
the state except that prescribed by law
their salaries."
question was raised recently by tho
state xeaminer and Inspector in regard
to similar claims for the same persons,
which bad already been paid.
The rejection of the claim of E. M.
Land rum as professor of mathmatics in
tho Northwestern State Normal Bchojl
at Tahlequah is also recommended
tne sanii opinion. The attorney general
held some time ago that Landrum was
not eligible to n position on the faculty
of that school because he was a mem-
ber of the legislature which created tho
school and made appropriation
In regard to the onse of A. A. Stewart
