The Forti eth infantry, recruited to 1,400 offi cers and men, began entraining at Camp Knox, near here, today for West Virginia. Col. E. A. Shuttleworth was In command. Fort Thcfmas, Ky., Sept. 2. Two companies of Fort Thomas Kroops left on a Chesapeake Ohio train at 11 o'clock today for the West Vir ginia coal fields. Roanoke, Va., Sept. 2. Ten army planes from Langley field continued' their Journey to West Virginia this morning. Six more planes were ex pected to get away later. Washington, Sept. 2. Federal troops from four camps, numbering approximately four thousand men, were at noon today either en route or in readiness to move to West Virginia to enforce the decision of the federal government to restore order In the coal fields. Orders for the movement of the troops were issued early in the day by Major General Harbord, assistant chief of staff, on recommendation of Brigadier General Bandholtz, repre sentative of the war department in the disturbed area. A few hours later the war depart ment was advised that the Twenty- sixth infantry had left Its station at Camp Dix, New Jersey," and that the Nineteenth infantry was en route from Camp Sherman, Ohio, to the coal fields. Shortly after this movement ha.l gotten under way, two companies left Fort Thomas, Kentucky, and the Fortieth infantry began entraining at Camp Knox, Kentucky. Another regiment, the Sixteenth, was ready In reserve at Camp Dix o move immediately on receipt of or ders. Martial Law Deferred. Army officers directing and observ ing the movement pointed out that such action on the government's part would be no child's play. Secretary Weeks was optimistic over the situa tion, expressing the opinion that as soon as the federal troops reached the disturbed area the armed bands re sponsible for the disorder would vol untarily disperse. Meanwhile, the second step contem plated by the federal government, the declaration of martial law in five West Virginia counties was deferred, pending arrival of the troops at their destination. It was Indicated that the presidential proclamation declaring the rule of the military to be supreme, already drafted and signed, would NOT be issued until sufficient forces had arrived in the five counties to en force that rule. General Bandholtz's message, sent shortly after midnight on which the troop movement was ordered, was given out by the war department as follows: "Investigators returned about 11:S0 tonight. The Invaders have not obey ed President Harding's proclamation and there Is no apparent Intention to do so. It .Is therefore recommended that the troops now held in readiness he sent to West Virginia without de lay."

BRIDGES ARE OBJECTIVES NOW CiTil War Veterans and Women Rash as Reinforcement. Plot to Dynamite Big Crossing Is Foiled. Logan, W. Va., Sept. 2. Miners are assaulting the Logan border at every point. Fighting is the heaviest since the miners massed for their invasion of Logan county. A 25-mile half circle around Logan courthouse Is under terrific machine gun and rifle fire. The miners have been repeatedly repulsed, but at noon were continuing their effort to dis lodge the Loganites from the ridges and commanding points back of the mountain passes. 1 Casualty List Uncertain. Casualties have occurred at both points. Six prisoners were captured by the Loganites at Blair mountains early this morning. Four miners are officially reported killed In the fight ing east of Logan about noon. Air reconnoissance reports that the miners are moving up to the border from all points in Boone county and that they are planning a heavy attack. After a morning of uncertainty in which reports from Struce Fork Ridge had told of sporadic fighting since daybreak. It was officially an nounced at noon that "heavy firing" was taking place at Blair mountain. Mill creek and Crooked creek. Col onel Eubanks said that one Logan man had been wounded on Blair mountain. lTso Bombs as Warning. Logan, w. Va., Sept, 2. Aerial bombs were dropped by Logan defense planes early today. The TNT bombs caused a hasty re- General Bandholtz said: "It Is believ ed that the withdrawal of the invaders as promised by Keeney and Mooney, president and vice president of the district miners' union, would have been accomplished but for the tardy sending of trains and the ill advised and ill timed advance movements of state constabulary on the night of August 2 7 resulting in bloodshed. May Block Martini Law. A technical question as to the au thority of the president to declare martial law is partly responsible for the delay by the administration in pro claiming martial law, it was learned. Legal experts have advised the ad ministration of a decision of the United States supreme court in over turning a military death sentence ap proved by the president in the case ex-parte Milligan, Indiana. In this de cision the courts held that "martial rule can never dst where courts are open in the properly and unobstructed exercise of their jurisdiction." The troops which will move Im mediately are the Twenty-sixth and Sixteenth infantry at Camp Dix, N. J., and the Nineteenth infantry at Camp Sherman, Ohio. Others can be rushed to the scene, if necessary from Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind., and Camp Knox, near Louisville, Ky. General Bandholtz will assume command of the forces upon their arrival He formerly commanded the Philippine constabulary and was provost marshal general of the A. E. F. in France. Miners Not Dispersing. The telegram received from General Bandholtz early today declared the armed forces were not indicating any intention to disperse and that the situ ation appeared to be critical witli im mediate need for troops. General Harbord said. Since this telegram was received, no further repcrt has been received from General Bandholtz. The two regiments of infantry should reach the disordered regions before noon. General Harbord belreves. On their arrival there, they are to be under the command of General Bandholtz, who will issue such orders as he may see fit. Whether a third regiment of in fantry, now standing by at Camp Dix awaiting orders, will be ordered into West Virginia today, depends upon future reports and recommendations 1 from General Bandholtz. Governor Morgan and General Bandholtz ire inier risures in w est treat of miners from the Hewitt's creek concentration camp but no cas ualties were caused, according to ob servers. The bombs fell near houses occu pied by the "red neck" army. Two planes were in action and four bombs were dropped. It Is assumed here that no attempt was made to destroy houses or lives but that the heavy ex plosive was used to warn the miners what would occur if they attempted to storm the Logan borders today. Was Night of Terror. A night of wildest terror has passed in Logan. The- miners, swarming at many points on the twenty-five mile front, threatened hourly to smash thru the lines. The defenders, reinforced by business and professional men from every section of the state, were thrown into the lines. They returned snot lor shot with the miners. The president's proclamation was nothing more than a "scrap of pa per." The miners sullenly rejected It and continued to drive additional men to the border. The Hewitt's creek concentration camp is the greatest in point of men, but at other points on the border, the miners are congregat ed this morning. Men working in the Logan field left the mines today to join the army of defense. The mines had been working practically 80 per cent. Only such coal as is necessary here will be pro duced. The workers have shouldered rifles and are being thrown into the lines to reinforce the exhausted de fense army. Even Boys on Line. Boys of 15 years have been pressed into service. Old men of 80 are shoul dering rifles and doing their turn at guard in the front line positions. Veterans of the Civil war who were in the famous Logan border rangers, which fought in the Civil war, re said to be under arms again. One of the men, a man of 78 years, a drummer boy in 1863, was in an advanced ob servation post last night. An effort was made to burn and dynamite the Chesapeake Ohio bridge on the Guyan valley division at Big creek early today. A portion of the bridge was burned and dyna mite discovered by a sentinel who ex tinguished the fire. If the bridge had been destroyed, the only railroad communication to Logan would have been cut off. This would have prevented the arrival of supplies and caused a big delay in the dispatch of United States troops. The Big creek bridge is over Guyan river. It is a long span and its replacement would have been difficult. As a result a heavier guard had been thrown out over the railroad line. At Crooked creek, a detachment of fifty men defending a mountain pass was thrown back a half mile by heavy attack of theniners just after daybreak. The 1,500 miners added to the de fense brings the Loganite army to nearly 3,000 men. No "Red" Desertions. The action of the miners is regard ed as highly significant as to the feel ing of workers in this field. It is de clared at headquarters there has been no desertions to the "red necks," as the attacking army is known, because of the red bandana handkerchiefs they wear around their necks. After the miners had volunteered for defetise service. Col. William E. Eubank declared he would be able to hold his position until the federal troops arrived. The reinforcements from Welch ar rived this morning. They are coal miners, who. headquarters say, re ceive nothing but food for their serv ices. However, the Welch mine operators are paying the men the same as tho they were working in the mines. Word that federal troops were com ing. was circulated widely along the front this morning. The information was greeted with cheers. The defense army stood with re newed determination on receipt of the message. Everywhere it was declared the positions would be held until ar rival of the troops. At the court house, a feeling of re lief followed the Washington dis patches. Got. E. F. Morgan (left, Brig. Gen.

TO CHECK SPEEDING EYIL Police Officers Receive Orders to Redouble Their Effort With the opening of the city schools officers have been instructed to re double their efforts toward the con trol of the speeding evil, according to Morns Leonard, captain of police. Captain Leonard also issued an ap peal to all parents to instruct their children not to play in the streets. It is the plan of the police depart ment to arrest every speeder, Leonard said, and if necessary raise the fine to a more substantial figure. The danger to children during the school season is particularly aggravated, it was pointed out. 'Motorists who use the streets for race tracks are going to pay dearly for it. Captain Leonard asserted. "IT necessary, we will raise the fine to a more substantial figure. During tho school season especial care should be taken by motorists because ther are so many children going and coming and playing in the streets. i 'The little fellows are not so thoughtful and careful as we grown ups, so we must use especial care in driving cars. Another thing, if every parent will make it a point to instruct their children to be very careful, and to go to the street intersection to cross a street, it will help a whole lot."

ASKS ALLEN FOR CONFERENCE Expresses Alarm Over Big In crease in State Taxes. Believes Thousands of Dollars Can Be Saved by Plan. "It will be necessary to lop off a few employes here and there and cut out some of the joy rides to Washing ton," according to an economy mes sage which N. A. Turner, state audi tor, today sent to Governor Allen. The state auditor believes the greatest R.rvir. which the Ktntn house crowd can nerform for tha folks at home is i to shave junketing and extra em- j ployes' expenses a few hundred thou- sand dollars. In consequence, he has! asked the governor for a conference of all state officials, department and institutional heads for a show-down as use of the pruning knife on ex penses. Turner expresses alarm concerning the situation. The budget of twenty one and a half million dollars, passed by the last legislature for the bienntum, caused a 68 per cent increase in the otato low this vear. Turner be lieves several hundred.-thousands of dollars of the tax payers' money can be saved if the state department neaas will get together and agree to cut out the flash and blare of junketing and the incidental propaganda publicity which follows. Too Many Joy Rides. Too many state officials and em ployes are junketing to the national capital and seat of national politics. Turner asserts. He declares that the trips are in the form of joy rides. During one month last year six em ployes of one department traveled to Washington at state expense. When the matter of extravagance was men tioned by the auditor, the state em ployes severely condemned the auditor for his foolish talk' about economy. Last month five state officials and mnimix were in Washington at Btate expense. The frequent trips and long stays in Washington of Clyde M. Reed, chairman of the public utilities com mission, have aroused more than state house comment. Turner doesn't just say so, but his letter to the governor seemingly has in mind some of the Reed travel responsibilities. To Attend Freieht Kate Case. During August Attorney General Hopkins made a trip to Washington and received much publicity thru statements regarding freight rates and suggestions to congress relative to amendments to the Volstead act. Chairman Reed's trip was in connec tion with railroad rate cases. There is a report in 'the state house that records show Reed has been out of the state 45 of the 6S days between July 4 and September 1. In the last few weeks state officials have been recipients of hundreds of letters protesting against the record increase in state taxes.- It is in re sponse to the demand to whittle down state expenses that Auditor Turner asked for the conference. "I am fully convinced," he said in his letter, "that a saving every year of many hundreds of thousands of dol lars can be made in Kansas thru ex ecutive actions of those administering state appropriations." It is to work out this saving, plan that he has ap pealed to the governor for an economy meeting. Letter to. GovernorAUen. In his letter he said: Dear Governor: In his recent special message to congress asking recognition f the budgetary plans of Mr. Dawes, with reference to government expenditures. President Harding nrgpi the greatest care in the investigation of the needs of the various departments, and the elimination of unnecessary expenditures in all branches.

Saved From Penalty by Statute of Limitations. DAUGHERTY WANTS NEW LIMIT May Ask Congress to Make It Six Years Jfow. But Cannot Touch Those Al ready Outside the Pale. Washington, Sept. 2. War graft ers who are alleged to have defrauded the government out of hundreds of millions, today had paved the wav for a clean getaway. All of the alleged grafters will be beyond criminal prosecution unless congress quickly act and raises the statute of limitations from three to six years, n was stated at the depart ment of juftice. Aro Sifting Becords. Today, legal experts were sifting the records bearing upon the guilt of some of the biggest offenders, trying to establish that "overt acts" were committed less than three years ago. Those who were to become defend ants in criminal actions now have out witted the government with a plea that their alleged offenses were com mitted more than three years ago and not now subject to any actions which the government might bring under the immunity which the government's tardiness has given them. Attorney General Daugherty's next step will be a special plea for speedy action by congress to pass the bill of Senator New, of Indiana, making it impossible for a defendant to escape liability for his acts within six years after their commission. Many Have Tricked Law. Such action by congress, however, will only serve to allow the govern ment to go ahead in those cases now pending which may be affected later on by the statute of limitations. What ever Vie action taken, congress can not make its legislation retroactive to cover those cases of defendants who now are virtually freed from criminal prosecution by the government. The department of justice today did not reveal the number of defendants who have worked this ruse. NEW CRIME RECORD IN KANSAS State As&s for Return of SIS Fugitives in Twenty Months. In twenty months ending Septem ber 1, Kansas aBked for return of more than three times as many fugitives as were sought in Kansas from all other states. That is the record as shown by extradition and requisition files I in the office of Governor Allen. The showing for requisitions breaks all former records and seemingly in dicates development of new crime wave conditions in the state. Official figures show that in the twenty! months from January 1, 1920 to Sep tember 1, this year, Governor Allen was callerl upon to honor 101 extradi tions for return of fugitives to other states. In the same period the state sought return to Kansas of 311 men and women who fled to other states to escape punishment under the Kansas criminal statutes. Interesting features in the requisi tion records are the comparative large number of young men who fled from this state to escape punishment for crime. The outsanding feattre of the comparative record, tho, is the fact that the state sought more than three times as many criminals from other states as sought protection here In fleeing from other states of the Union. Nearly 75 per cent of the requlsi. tlons signed by Governor Allen were for men wanted for wife and child desertion and for grand larceny. A mfiiority of the grand larcenv cases 1 were based on theft of automobiles. In the 20 months covered in the report, the state pentientiary and re formatories made record increases In attendance. U.

Hopes of an early recognition of Mexico, which has been raised by the decision .of the Mexican supreme court that article 27 of the Mexican constitution is not re troactive, were dashed today by the statement of President Obregon to the Mexican congress denouncing the pro posals made by the United States for a treaty of commerce and amity.

STOCKS Mexican Petroleum recovered all hut a fraction of its loss before noon on the fur- tner rise or European Oils and Asphalt, the latter extending its gain to three points. Elsewhere shorts evidently deemed it ex pedient to reduce tliilr commitments over the coming holidays. Covering of such contracts in steels, equipments, motors and their accessories, tobaccos, angars and chemicals effected advances of one to four points. Rails and shippings shared in the rally, especially the Pacifies, St Paul pre ferred and Mercantile Marine preferred. Call money opened a. 544 per cent, that rate gleo applying to tens extending into next week. Mexican oils broke sharply at the opening of today's stock market on indication of a deadlock in the conference now under way between Mexican government officials and American interests. Mexican Petroleum recorded an opening loss of 24i points, this soon being increased to 344, Pan-American Petroleum fell one point and the "B" stock lost two points. Other foreign oils were strong, notably General Asphalt, which rose 244 points, and Royal Dntch which ad vanced one point. The balance of the list was irregular, fractional predominating.

Haskla, Director, Washing ton, ir. c. A, British scientist claims to have demonstrated that there is a definite force radiated from the human eye, and that, when one person looks at another, a real form of power is thereby transferred. But this ia a matter that needed no scientific dem onstration. Almost any young' man could have told the scientist of girls vho exercise this power. The public is being; urged to write to senators and representatives at Washington to adopt the McFadden constitutional amendment putting an end to the issue of tax-free securities at the earliest date. The earliest date, assuming: that the amendment could be put over in thirty-six states, probably would Te about 1930, hard ly early enough to afford much relief to the present generation of taxpay ers. This agitation about tax-exeml.t securities is largely directed to the galleries. Governor Shoup of Colorado is said to have directed letters to the gov ernors of sixteen western states ask ing that they Join with Colorado i'i efforts to bring about a reduction of railroad rates. It probably will be useless for the governors td spend any time on the railroad managers. Their best chance lies in bearing down on the interstate commerce commission. Many farm ecoAomists are continu ally clamoring for "more credit' They might look around them, says Farm Life, and see farmers, and busi ness men as well, who have been ruined by having too much credit. When prices are continually going up one oai buy on a credit and make money. "When prices are going down he can buy on a credit and go broke. The country is full of men who be lieve that farmers can be 'made pros perous by extending unlimited credit to all who will use it. Too many of these men are in congress, and there are enough of them in official posi tions in the agricultural world. Where one man gets rich by going too heav ily in debt there are about nine who stand in danger of becoming bank rupt. A sheriff in Massachusetts warned a mob of would-be lynchers that they would be "shot down like rats" it they attempted to enter the Jail and seize their victims. An official In Tennes see drew a dead line in front of the Jail, and served notice that the first member of the lynching party to cross the line would be shot. Several im mediately crossed and were shot down, after which the deputle.s charged and scattered the mob., Yet always there are persons willing and even eager to be elected to the office of aheriff.- Canada has reduced her army to 3,600 men. Here is one country that is not afraid of a Japanese Invasion. Besides she does not find it necessary to keep an army in Europe. The state highway engineer complains- that the roads are not proper ly dragged. If all the money and time that have been spent in dragging roods had been expended in building hard surfaced roads, perhaps there would now remain few roads in Reed of dragging. A glance at the respective railway systems of America and Britain in the holiday season, says the Christian Science Monitor, will reveal how dif ferently they react to the mood cif the hour. While the American rail ways continue sedate, high priced, un bending to the charms of holiday hi larity, their British counterparts will be found to relax completely and wholeheartedly. Once more, as in pre-war days, the English stations have presented the familiar rough- and-tumble scenes of embarkation excursionist crowds, with sand-spades, buckets, lunch baskets and other nec essary accoutermenta rushing helter skelter for the special trains at re duced fares bound for Brighton, Mar gate, Hove, Hastings, North Wales, tha Scottish lochs, and a hundrej other fields for enjoyment, for one day, two-day, five-day, ten-day, week end or mid-week outings. But then, of course, says the Mnitor, in England the automobile cannot yet be said to have become a necessary part of the family's holiday equipment. BOSSING THE RAILROADS. The railroad labor board, estab lished by act of congress to help the interstate commerce commission han dle the railroad business, is finding It difficult to enforce its orders. It seems rapidly to be drifting Into a class with the Kansas public utilities commission. The application of President Rea of the Pennsylyania railroad to the United States railroad labor board, re questing it to set aside its decision with regard to shop crafts, amounts to a challenge of authority. It brings into question the right of the board to perform the work prescribed for it by the Esch-Cummins act. If the board vacate its recent decision, with which the Pennsylvania has refused to com ply, then it might as well close up shop. Two objections are made by th road to the board's decision. One is that after the national agreements with the unions were ordered abro gated as of July 1, the board was without authority to order further ex tension; wherefore, tha road refuses to consider itself in any way hound by those agreements. Then, -the Penn sylvania refuses to acknowledge the right of the board to specify the" man ner In which elections among its em ployes shall be held or to prescribe the manner in which negotiations between the road and its workers shall be car ried out. The Pennsylvania is emboldened by the outcome of the case of the Erie railroad, which broke the board's or ders in six particulars. No punish ment was meted out to that corpor ation. The reason the case went by default, as Chairman Barton of the board explained, was that "we depend largely on public opinion and the will ingness of the reads and their em ployes to accept the decisions of an impartial mediatlve body." In this statement there is little to give the railroads pause; that is, nothing as of lawful authority nothing but public opinion. Two national bosses and forty-eight state bosses on tha railroad job seem too many and it is not remarkable that those who are trying to carry on the work of tire railroads are in rebel lion. The railroad labor board Is making Itself about as unpopular with both the railroads and the public as ever the Interstate commerce commission has been. Its capacity for doing harm Is shown by its unwarranted Interference with the Pennsylvania railroad's agreement with Its em ployes covering rules and working conditions. This' had been parfectej and was working satisfactorily to the workers. The railroad board is arbi trarily Insisting upon a new election which will admit outside union labor Influences to enter in and to make trouble. THE INS AND THE OTJTS. The attention of the public is being directed to the alleged fact that sev eral millions of persons in this coun try are out of employment. The fu ture outlook, for these persona is not so dark as it might be since other millions are threatening to quit their jobs. In other words, the' Ins' may give the outs a chance. It is easy to believe that the men now idle will gradually find positional, even with no decrease in other em ployed classes. Just how much more quickly the job hunters can have their quest successfully ended if a wide spread strike shall occur In any im portant field of industry can only be estimated In a general way. It is cer tain that, with many willing and rea sonably capable men desiring employ ment, there will be found In their ranks a considerable jiumber who can fill the vacancies caused by an indus trial walkout. The work of particu larly skilled, labor cannot be done by novices,, but there is a condition exist ing now which makes available for al most any vocation a large number of idle men who are able to discharge a great variety of duties. Never before, it is pointed out hy the St. Louis Times, has there been serious thought by employed men, of a strike in a time when unemployment was so general as to cause disquiet The -disputes between wage giver and wage earner have been reserved fo, those longer periods in which there was more demand'for workers than could be met. In such times the striker frequently won his point. It remains to be seen whether, in the event of deciding to leave his position, the worker of today can make his course serve his ends in the face of conditions which provide a dozen idle men to fill the place ha vacates. However, a testing out of the prop osition cannot be made without much hardship resulting. No maij should decide upon such an experiment un less he can be certain that in his own individual case he is not risking too much. His own welfare, and the good of others possibly dependent upon him, must deserve careful considera tion. Because of unfortunate Indus trial conditions, the man who goes on a strike today may be long time without dependable employment. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC J. HA SKIN, Director, Washington, X, C. WILL THE CATTLE TRAIL COME BACK? Denver, Colo., Aug. 2s. A herd of several hundred cattle recently reached this city, from a ranch hun dreds of miles away, by the same method that cattle were brought to market in the days before the rail roads were built. Altho a rail route was available, and altho it would have gotten the cattle to market in a fraction of the time they actually occupied in getting here, this herd was driven overland as mil lions of cattle were driven in the early days. Half a dozen cowboys. With a pack outfit,to carry their sup plies and beds, drifted the cattle slowly across mountain and plain, let ting them graze there every evening, "riding herd" upon them every night to guard against theft and stampede, carrying out every detail of the tech nique that was evolved when the whole west was one vast open range without a rail upon it. It was a restoration of an .-.ancient and picturesque Bcene, but it was not staged for any sentimental reason. These cattle were driven to market overland for the good practical' reason that they were in that way brought to their destination for about one-fourth of what it would have cost to ship them by rail. It looks as tho inordi nately high freight rates might bring back into use the "long trail" over which the nation's beef traveled to market under its own power for more than half a century. The cowboy is such a typically and traditionally Yankee figure that many Americans do not realize that the American, cattle business is really Mexjfan in its origin and moved slowly from tne tar sou in to tne norm. In the early part of the last century there were cattle in all of the west, north of the Rio Grande. Down in Old Mexico, on the other hand, there were enormous herds of scrubby longhorn stock which had been introduced by the Spaniards many generations be fore. Meantime a hungry Yankee civi lization was growing up in the eastern half of the continent. Cattle were raised on the eastern farms, but not nearly enough of them to feed this growing nation. Enterprising Yankees down in the sruthwest began to see that there was a future in the raising of cattle in the west for sale in the east. Accordingly they began stealing the herds of the Mexicans, bringing them across the Rio Grande and founding herds of their own in Texas. They not only found it easy to steal cattle, but they also found-Hhat when these cattle were brought north they grew larger and fatter than ever they had on the hot southern ranges. When Beef Was Cheap. It was easy to get the cattle and easy to raise them, but reaching the market was another matter. At tempts were made to drive them across to Louisiana and sell them, and also to ship them from Gulf ports to eastern markets, -iut all of these at tempts failed. When the Civil war broke out the plains of Texas were Swarming with cattle for which there was no market. Their owners had un limited beef but very little money. You could buy a cow for a dollar. During the war these herds were forgotten and multiplied untended. After the war the plains .swarmed with unbranded cattle worth little or nothing. Men of foresight hired cow boys and began rounding up and branding this wild stock. It was ex citing business, for the cattle were as wild as deer. A cow or calf belonged to the man who could put his brand on it first. Incidentally, the way was prepared for the long war between the rustlers and the cattle barons which presently began. Soon the men who had begun early had great herds under their own brands, while the newcomers had none. They wanted to continue the business of branding stock whenever it was found un branded. Owners of cattle chose now to regard this as theft. Hence a war which continued for a quarter of a century. Meantime the herds pushed stead ily 'farther and farther north. The cattle trail which led across the Rio Grande and the plains of Texas was steadily extended north along the eastern edge of the Rocky mountains. And as the herds moved north, the markets for cattle increased and with them the value of cattle. The great transcontinental railroads were now building and had founded western ter minals at Dodge City, Wichita, New ton and other towns in Kansas. These became shipping points for cattle, and Incidentally they became about the wildest towns 'that ever graced the earth. Besides stockvards and cattle shutes, each of them had whole streets of saloons, gambling joints and dance halls, established for the enter tainment of the cowboys. It was dur ing the brief but lurid career of these cow-towns that the romantic tradition of the wild, revolver-shooting cow puncher, who has filled so much space in the magazines and popular novels, was established. From the literature on the subject one would imagine that the whole west was a carnival of gun play. As a matter of fact, the wild and woolly stuff was mostly confined to these few towns and lasted only a few years. The cattlemen of the whole west converged upon these towns, sold their stock and set out te spend their money. The result was inevitable. You can get it anywhere by turning loose a large number of men with money to spend, whisky to drink and no wives to make them be have. Every dance ended in a gun fight. Men rode their horses Into dance halls arid saloons and shot nut tha lights. Professional bullies went about challenging each other to bat tles to the death. Life was as violent and spectacular as a third-rate movi. ine ixng J rives. Besides the cow-towns, the other great market for beef was the Indian reservations. The government by that time (in the seventies) Jjad rounded up most of the Indians and put them on reservations, and whisky and eon sumption had not yet reduced their numbers greatly. Hence, Uncle Sara had thousands of Indians to feed, and he fed them largely on beef. Prob ably the longest cattle drives and the most profitable ones were made from the southern ranges to the Indian res ervations' in Montana and- the Dako tas. Some cattleman with political pull would get a contract to deliver a certain number of three-year-old beef steers at a point in Montana on a cer tain day. He would organize a trail outfit, go down Into Texas or Mexico where cattle were cheap, buy his steers, and drive them half the length of the continent. It was in these long drives that the skill of the cowman was seen at its best. Rivers had to be forded, Indians fought, buffalo herds kept away from the cattle, stampedes checked. The cowboy on these drives was no loose and drunkenfellow. flourishing a gun. He was the skillful custodian or valuable property. Of course, the old days of the loai trait will never come hack. There are a thousand fences across it. But the passing-of-the-eowboy theme has been a little overwritten. There is still a great deal of open range in the west, and there are still thousands of men who can throw a rope and hog-tie a steer as well as ever it was done. The western cowman still knows how to drive cattle long distances ant get them to the market in good condition too. Unless freight rates drop there will probably be many long drives in the next lew years. Dorothy Dix Talks BY DOROTHY DIX Werla'a Htgheit Paid Vtaua Writs. The Iffcra. 1. Are you an iffer?

When Mrs. Turner joined her bache lor son at breakfast he was pretty sure that she' had come-to ask him to go on some errand or other for her down town. Much as she doted on Jimmy and great as was the pride she felt in his remarkable success in business, she still held the" same notion concerning what business actually demanded of a man that she had had during the life of James Turner, sr. To her there was always left time in the business man's busiest day to write business letters, telephone and go on shopping expeditions for the woman at home. Jimmy was right in the shopping sec tion why shouldn't he match the silk? He had a telephone right on his desk why shouldn't he telephone to the plumber about the roof leaking? He was so used to writing letters why shouldn't he attend to the social correspondence But on this particular morning Mrs. Turner's cqmmission was a little un usual ana sne aaproacnea ner sou with something off cajolery. vi'm giving that tea this afternoon, Jimmy dear, and everything seemed to be coming off splendidly. You prom ised to get home by five, you know. Mrs. Standish has been making such a splurge of late that I must have this nerfaotlon. Now. of course, there is Hannah in the kitchen, and Alice is sending me her Violet to help in the dining room, and there will be Benson at the door, with Kita helping up stairs, but Jane has just told me she couldn't be here. It's her regular afternoon off and she has made some sort of date. She has given notice, anyway, or I should discharge her for it. And she s so indispensable in the pantry. I must have some one with taste to make the sandwich plates at tractive and put the finishing touches on things and keep the rest of them from losing their heads. That is why Jane was indispensable." "So I am to- help in the pantry? Jimmy asked as soon as he could find a chance to interrupt. "Silly," said Mrs. Turner, still with a cajoling voice. "I was only think ing that one of your girls could come and help out. There seems to be such a lot of them and they never have much to do." It was one of Mrs. Tur ner's firm beliefs that any business man could get along with half as many stenographers and clerks as he did, but Jimmy did not dispute her. "There is that nice looking girl that seems to be your secretary or some thing," went on Mrs. Turner, too intent-on her own interests to notice the look of annoyance that came on Jim my's face at hearing Alice Busby spoken of by his mother as she miht have: spoken of a bit of office -furniture. "Your idea was to have Miss Busby come here and help out?" he asked, then hesitated a moment, giving lime for an idea to formulate, an idea that changed his look of annoyance to one that showed real pleasure in antici pation. "Perhaps she might. Of course it is most unusual to get a young woman of that sort to do that sort of thing.- She would only do It as a favor "I don't see that at all," came hack Mrs. Turner. "She is a working girl and you employ her to do what you want her to do. There is nothing dis graceful about this wock. I would ,g$Ve her a big apron; to put over her defs arid she would just have to stand in the pantry seeing that things go light; that none of the servants gets excited and that the sandwiches don't look as if they had been thrown on the plates." "What time shall she be here?" was Jimmy's only 'response. "Oh, 3. There'll be things to do beforehand," Mrs. Turner called as Jimmy made hjs exit from the break fast room. Jimmy Turner was not a man of many theories and abstract ideas, but he had formulated one theory that he usually kept to himself that was that the girl in business usually made a more congenial, all-around compan ion as a wife than the girl whom men such as Jimmy met in society. He had even made up his mind that if he ever married it would be a girl who worked in an office. Of course such an idea as this would have been in comprehensible to Mr; Turner, go Jimmy didn't say anything about it and remained a bachelor. Of late, however, he had given Miss Busby, his secretary, more than a second thought. Ho had found some little satisfaction in the fact tht his mother had called her a "rather nice looking girl." Be tween conceding that and thinking of her as a possible daughter-in-iaw there was a long way. Jimmy broached the subject to Miss Busby with ail the tact he oould sum mon. Miss Busby's rejoinder left no possibility of hope. And in the cheap sort of hauteur that she affected in re fusing Jimmy Turner felt that ha saw something in her nature that he had never seen before. It did not enhance her desirability as a wife in Jimmy's eyes. Still there was the thought of the empty pantry, the cakes and sand wiches looking as if thev had been thrown on the plates, servants losing tneir neaas at the last moment. He dared not let J o'clock come without sending his mother some one to help. It was another of Jimmy's few theories that in case of -what seemed a dilemma he could in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred find a way out if he only sat down and thought the doors of his office closed and locked, his telephone silenced and his head In his hands. He was trying to think of sbme one, somewhere, who would help' him in in emergency. Then in a flash he re membered the little wisp of a girl in dark blue and brown furs whom he had picked out of the path of a skid ding automobile a few weeks ago. Jimmy did not waste time in speaking, but merely Hfted her up In two arms in what seemed a miraculously narrow escape. i "I shall always feel that I owe my life to you, and yet you are a stranger," she said. "1 must Tturry along, but if the time ever comes when you need help just telephone Clarendon 778, will you, and ask for Miss Brown?" With that she had gone her way. Jimmy had not dreamed of her face, for he had scarcely a chance to look at it, but he sometimes did recall with something like pleasure the feeling of her slight weight In his arms as he lifted her to safety. So now he called Clarendon 77S and asked for Miss Brown. He felt some how that she- was somebody's secre tary. She must surely be a girl In business. He asked her if she could get 'off hy 3. Or perhaps she knew some one who could and would do what he had to be done in the pantry that afternoon. He told her of it as a joke and she took it in the best of spirits, contrasting strongly with the manner of Miss Busby. And the only bit of deceit he asked was that Miss Brown would introduce herself to Mrs Turner as "from Mr. Turner's office." Surely she could put the sandwiches on the plates gracefully and keep Hannah from getting hysterics. The incident passed without com-m-nt from Mrs. Turner, save some thing to the effect that the girl Jimmy had sent from his office had done "well enough." Then followed the eourtship of Jimmy Turner a mad, feverish, head long courtship in which Mrs. Turner felt perfectly incapable of getting any satisfaction from Jimmy. She only guessed that he was in love. But when within a month's time Jimmy told her that he waa going to marry Miss Sidney Cumberland Brown, only daughter of Weyland Cumberland Brown, the multi-millionaire banker, her astonishment was complete. Like wise her Joy knew no bounds. It waa such a social feather in her cap and would cause Mrs. Standish no end of jealousy. On the way home, after Jimmy took his mother to call on Miss Sidney Cumberland Brown, Mrs. Turner sat i musing. "I seem to have seen her before, Jimmy. But she never as- soclated the face with that of the little girl who came to take charge in the pantry on the occasion of her re ception. (Copyright, 1921, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) THE NEW GENERATION By JANE PHELPS JOAX HAS HUR HAIR BOBBED. CHAPTER S. Joan had beauiiful ihair. It was thick and heavy, like spun gold. Margaret had been inordinately proud of the two heavy braids that hung be low the child's waist, and had be stowed great care upon it. One day Joan had gone to play ten nis with one of her young friends. It was an oppressively warm day and Margaret had worried a little for fear the heat would affect her. Later than usual Joan came In. Around her face was a thick halo 'of soft yellow curls, gleaming gold above her big blue eyes, and curling upward from her white neck in bewitching fashion. Margaret was startled, hurt. She longed to cry, and did nothing. "You don't mind, do you, Mumsie? I was so hot. And all the girls are being bobbed." She looked so like a tiny child, nearer 8 than 12, with her"big, blue eyes staring out from under that mass of curls, so like the baby she had been only a few short years before, that Margaret felt the tears starting. But it would sadden Joan if she cried. So che winked the tears back, and ad mired the soft curls, running her hand thru them caressingly. "I brought these back as a present for you, Mumsie." Joan laid the two shining braids in Margaret's lap. If the mother had held back her tears when with Joan, she made no effort to do so when she laid the two golden braids tenderly away. It was months before she ceased to regret she was no longer needed to brush and braid Joan's hair. It had been, like all she did for the child, a real labor of love. It was typical that Joan had not consulted her mother as to cutting her hair. Really it was not her mother's business. It was her hair. She was the one to decide whether she wanted it long or short. There was no disrespect for her mother in this attitude of Joan's. She was only following out 'her mother's teachings. She was a-human being, independent, actionary. She must carve out her own life, fol low any bent etre wished in her actions. Joan had a nice sense of honor In culcated by her mother a conversa tion and example. She was honest and plain-spoken at all times. She was kind and generous to Inferiors, even tho she might "toe insolent to her equals. She had many of the virtues elrls in her position are sup posed to have, also many of the faults. That the virtues outeiaasea and outnumbered the faults was due, perhaps, to her blood-elean ancestry. Naturally at her age, Joan did not reason out what she did or did not do along the lines she followed. Her actions were almost ,ir not entirely in voluntary. She wanted to do some thing she did it! Margaret often smiled as she sat thinking of Joan after the child had retired. She could count on the fingers of her hand the times when Joan had really needed reproof. Always followed the thought: "How wise I have heen to not in terfere." Then she would think of her own girlhood, how she had been obliged to fight for the simplest, the most elemental rights. She had not been supposed to believe anything save what her parents told her, what they believed, ir they said a thing was wrong, she was expected immediately to believe It wrong, ana never to figure anything out for herself as Jean did. If they told her she must not do this or that, she was. not sup posed to question why. She was, in fact, to have no mind, no will, of her own. Margaret had longed to go to col lege, to think along other than cut-and-dried lines. But her mother be lieved a governess- was better for a girl that it kept her from becoming tainted. Now Margaret smiled when she recalled that expression her mother had used "tainted." She re membered how she had rebelled that day In the privacy of her room she had likened herself to a fish or other food that was so stale it became tainted. It had been such incidents as these, still fresh in her memory when she had been -left alone with Joan, that had determined her upon the course she was pursuing with the child. Her child, her little Joan should never live the repressed life she had lived she had arrived at this con clusion after' much conscientious con sideration, much reading upon the subject of allowing children self-expression.

What rela tion "gone" has to "on" is beyond. my ken. Perhaps some eastern writer can explain it, just as the majority of them, at the time of Mark Twain's death, accounted his "Innocents Abroad" his great wor-k, not-feven men tioning ."Roughing It" or "Life on the Mississippi," which never can be reproduced, no matter how gifted the writer, as the rcenes no longer are there to be depicted. When you go west on vacation, please pay Uncle Daniel another visit. O. W. R. We thing Uncle G. W. R. is a little hard on the eastern writers and art ists. Most of these who struggle un der the handicap of never having worked in the middle west do pretty well. Thespian is to stop at Uncle Daniel's for dinner, driving on to Quincy -in the late afternoon. Ade laide never saw the log house in which we first glimpsed the light of day. It Is our ambition to show it to her. C. T., who has returned from Al lentown lamped this Bign on an office door: "Button Don't Bell: Bump." "The flames," says the esteemed Bethlehem Gazette, "are believed to have originated by the breese fanning a cigaret butt which dropped into the dried heaps of dust between the planks." No Institution with which we are familiar, or unfamiliar, Btands more in need of a velvet-covered bread-box than the Bethlehem Gazette. We stand ready to confer this beautiful house hold trophy any time the Gazette can find time to fan a flame with a cigaret butt. y The Vunusua! attitude assumed by Chicago authorities in trying to pre vent Tex Rickard from showing his fight pictures because it is against the law to do so iscreatingAsome com ment. Some of the advices from Washing ton indicate that Mr. Debs will be pardoned before long. Others are to the effect that he will be permitted to serve out most of his sentence. Of course, the imprisonment of Mr. Debs is an outrage; but In case the admin istration doesn't release h'm, it likely will be because the administration doesn't believe he ousht to be released at this time. In either event, Mr. Debs is a fine fellow, and so are President Harding and Attorney Gen eral Daugherty. Some condemn the tarring; ant feathering at Silsbee, Tex., on Saturjp day. Others are awaiting the par ticulars. The column believes that when it la necessary to apply tar and feathers it should be done discreetly and according to law. George Matthew Adams Dally Talk war not now? A lovely letter came to me the other day thanking me for the help given thru the talks. The writer said that it was their opinion that tributes should be paid to the living. I have been carrying that letter around in my pocket ever since. Why wait to say nice things to peo ples, anyway? I hope to live to see the time when people will eree( monuments to the living. Of cours I know the general impression is that should these tributes be paid while yet the man lived, he might later do something that would make people sorry they had paid such honor. Whereas with the one who has gone, the book is sealed. But nevertheless, I believe in mak ing this mortal frame of out's as happy as possible while it walks and breathes.

The boy, with all hopes gone of seeing the test, resign edly murmured: "No, sir, I know I won't; but I would like to, all the same."

Hundreds of delegates besides visitors will gather from this territory to discuss matters pertaining to the work of the church in the area and to adopt a program to be put on by the churches of the area for the following year. Airship and Passengers Missing. Tarnpico, Mexico, Sept. 2. An American aviator who left Tampico yesterday with two passengers is miss ing with his two companions. It was feared the machine was wrecked in the mountains. Searching parties have gone out. Lightning Bolt Kills Negro. Brenham. Tex.. Sept. 2. "Bill" Harris, a negro, was killed when struck by lightning in a cotton field here yesterday. Jest As It Wu AT THE GRAND we hare one of Mary Roberts Rinehart's best bits of human in terest stuff, done up In screen style that sufrgrests that Mrs. Rinehart must have stood right at the elbow of the director. When "The Empire Builders" appeared in the Saturday Evening Post," some months ajro, this one guy in particular did not finish it ustil he had read every word at least three times. It is good wholesome humor, no intri cate plot to work one's brain overtime, no intense scenes to work on one's nerves, no elaborate scenery to strain one's eyes, but just s big boy story done in the best Rine hart style. Anyone who bus ever read any of the sub-deb stuff, will know what that means. AT THE ORPHEI M "The Man of the Forest", another of those strong Zane Grey stories screened, makes a mightv in tense bit of film drama. It Is well staged, well written and well cast, with bits of honest humor running thru it. Interest keeps up to the last fade-out. It is the Harold Lloyd comedo, "Get Out snd Get Under," that is the real fea ture of the bill, however. Lloyd is with out doubt the star of all comedy stars and in this one, wherein he snd a new Ford have s lot of arguments and adven tures, one cannot help laughing almost all the way thru. AT THE NOVELTY, there are two su perior acts, two good ones and only one that could be missed without regret in the bill that ends this week's business. The Dancing Cronins opened yesterday afternoon with som? real stuff. The woman lu tbe case must be Spanish. in part at least. She does the tarantella with all the grace, abandon and finish of a Cas tillian. Drlsco and Earle have a skit that "is filled with lines that get over. Both are finished performers and the act in handled and staged in a manner that is superior to the usual "three-a-day" offering. Jessie Millar In a musical offering easily demon strated that it is real music, not trick stuff, that van devil patrons want. Her opening fell flat but the close found the gang out front demanding more and yet more. The Valadons, a wire and cycle duo have little that is new, except their race finish, but what they have Is well dnn and the burlesque by tbe woman in the case has Just enough humor in it to finish the act. Did not try to remember the name of the single who did a monologue and do not want to. It takes new stuff to get by in a single and this one bad nothing but What has been printed In the funny papers and used on tbe local stage several times already. AT THE CRYSTAL Altho far from be ing a new situation, the story of two per sons of opposite sex shipwrecked on an Island Is one keenly interesting to atott persons. 'Tbe Island of Regeneration." showa at the Crystal theater this week with An tonio Moreno in tbe lead, is the story of a girl revolting at the mad, pleasure lov ing society life she has been leading, steals awav in a motor boat from a yacht on which abe had gone on a voyage with a rich admirer. She ends op on an island, finding a man already there who has lived on the Island since childhood a victim of a shipwreck. Later they return to civilisation, brought about by persons discovering them on the island. Tbe girl marries the man. who Is found to be the heir to a large southern estate. The Chinese ss a race are declared lo be the most honest people In the world. rM"MM--MM-'M--"-"M-M-"- j T 9 h yS 9 Auerhach CuettelThe Palace Clothing Co, Home o Hart Schaffner Marx Clothes &4i r IfaklH ifilof hiuniihmeraT 'WfufW v IT STARTS TOMORROW r MLmw THIFM A I HIT in A JHV-A TT in OUR ENTIRE STOCK y li "i Mil i if, m iTh- Prescription Specialists Aak Ton Doctor About Vm Drugs and Toilet Goods The Modern Drag Stort CUT-RATE IN.Wnt 19th ARTHUR TUCKER EliECTRICAXi CONSTRUCTION AXD REPAIRS Motors Repaired Phone 1 1 T Jackson St. Spring and Summer Suits Fvery S n t t Ciuarantced ai Fulljr as If J-ou paid the reg ular price. ism .item rices FOR the final dash down the home stretch for a quick clean-up to make room for new fall goods crowding in every day we're offering all remaining spring and summer suits in the house at just two prices $25 and $35.

"I am tow seventy-eight years old and I don't hesitate to say I have never known a medicine to equal Tan lac. For fifteen years I was subject to attacks of indigestion that were so had at times I would have to lay up for a week or two.

I've been so wonder fully built up, I now weigh one hun dred And forty-three pounds and my stomach is as sound as a dollar. In fact, I believe'I could eat the old army rations again without it hurting me in the least. "I never miss a chance of saying a good word for Tanlao find I would like to urge he boys of the "Sixties" who are not feeling right to give it a trial, for I am sure it would put them in line again just as it has me. For a man of my age to have no physical ailment, to be well and strong and enjoylife as he did twenty-five years ago, is cer tainly something to be thankful for and there is nothing too good I can say for Tanlac."
