Schrock who was formerly tha Harvey House news agent in this cit7 but now of Waynoka, had 4 thrilling and narrow eseape for his life last Saturday night. Mr.

Schrock always carries considerable cash with him and it seems that some kmen found this out and laid the plan to rob him. Ha was returning to hisihome in Waynoka Saturday evening when an auto with several men in it drew up beside bin at a street crossing and one of tbera On the Court House Lawn The social given by the united young peoples societies Monday evening was a conspicious success. By seven thirty about three-hundred and fifty folks were there and ready for the fun. Every office in the court house was open and the officers held an open reception to the young folks of the High School. For the first time in a long time the entire building was illuminated and the "pull" on the plugs in the witchboard was ounusual as to''bIow' he lights out.

After games were played a while and the lights were finaUy made to A Noise Problem There was plenty of excitement at the home of Fletcher Price, on East Tenth street, Sunday afternoon, featuring a strange and terrifying noise which no one is able to explain. Mrs. Price and Miss Grace Rouse were in the kitchen. Suddenly and without any warning, there was a deep rumbling, apparently underneath the kitchen, making a sound like the rumbling of distant thunder. Also the floor was shaken with heavy vibrations, so sudden and fearsome that the two women ran out int the yard, believing that there had been an earthquake.

Others some distance away in the front part of the house had heard no such sounds and experienced no such floor rocking. John H. Wolfe, who lives close by, was sent for to ascertain whether the phenomenon might have been caused by natural or sewer gas, bat he could find no evidence of any A Real Show The fashion Show, announced by the Gambrill store for Monday was a show indeed, if one may judge by the crowds which packed the store both afternoon and evening. In the evening it was so crowded that some were prevented from attending because of the jam. The decorations of display windows and the interior parade used for the living models were dainty and in splendid taste, making a beautiful An orchestra composed of Mrs.

Frank Price, Miss Leah Knowles, Miss Mildred Waugh and Ralph Stafflebach played from the balcony, and living models walked up and down the parade for the inspection of the mulitude. The young ladies, dressed in the costumes which are to be the prevailing styles for Ithe fall season, appeared very charming indeed, and doubtless put in the hearts of many feminine spectators a yearning for similar attire, which of course, was the object of the entertainment. BEAT AMERICAN WOMEN ARE TEACHING SCHOOLS ALBANIA WHO IN BRITISH CONSUL FILES PROTEST Two Imprisoned port lays, but Taken by the United States in Salonika, the Re-No Action has been Government of the Vienna, Sept 23. Greek authorities at Koritsa, Albania, today seized the American mission school there, where instruction is given to nearly one hundred Albanian girls. The information reached here in a telegram from Av-lona, the principal seaport of Albania on tbe Adriatic sea.

The Greeks have also arrested and prosecuted a large number of Alba-nians who recently returned to Koritsa from America and other foreign countries, releasing them from detention only when the Albanians promised to join in the agitation for the incorporation of the district in Greece. The British consul at Monistar has entered a vigorous protest with the Greek government on behalf of the Americans. The whole affair forms part of the Greek terrorization of the Albanian population with the object of compelling them to agree to the inclu sion of the whole of southern Albania in tne kingdom of Greece. Last week the officials of Koritsa endeavored to take forcible possession of the American mission school building, but the housekeeper in charge re-fnsed to hand over the keys. Ths Greek soldiers beat her mercilessly and then carried her off to prison.

The mission is in charge of Phinneas B. Kennedy, a native of Ntw Jersey and a Princeton graduate. Mrs. Violet B. Kennedy conducts the Ladies' Literary society, whose object is to give the elements of education to .4 All the women of Albania.

Responsibility of averting a future meat famine was put up to small farmers today by speakers at the eighth annual convention of the American Meat Packers association here. All the speakers agreed that if the decrease in meat production of the last ten years is not stopped the question of the meat supply for the people of the United States will be most serious. Among the remedies suggested by the speakers were: Every small farmer should raise at least two beef steers a year to offset the.

production of the great ranches of the west. The remaining ranges should be cut up in farms to put all farmers on an equal footing. Developement of the hills of New England a3 a beef producing country. Substitution of corn for cotton in the Southern states and the consequent developement of the cattle and hog production. The report of the executive committee sounded the first note of the danger of a famine.

"The American meat packing house situation and that of consumers of meat food products in this country are both in a condition more precarious than at any other time in our history, report says. We are facing conditions in the production of meat food products which would have been thought impossible ten years ago. The shortage of livestock which has been impressed upon us as packing house producers for several years has been intensified -during the last year. Our population is growing at its normal pace. We have passed the point where demand has over taken production, and we are now on a basis which show3 that demand exceeds the supply of meat food products to "such an extent that we have abnormally high prices for meat food We are indeed pleased to know that Messrs.

Bunkgomery Fraud Messrs. Tears, Sawbuck of Chicago contributed the handsome sum of $0000000 apiece toward the building of the park improvements in Kingman last week. We understand that each of the firms will also subcribe $0 to each church in the county and cive $0 toward charitable purposes. Also that in sections of Kansas where the people have no cash owing to crop failure, these accomodating firms will gladly extend credit in any amount for any length of time, same as the home merchant, and without interest.

They did a lot of things and had a lot of good unadulterated fun and then went home obout ten o'clock.

Not Heavy Vote At three this afternoon the vote on the water bonds was light, but the women were just beginning to come in and the record was expected to run along a good deal faster from that time on. There is quite a little talk against the bonds, but the general opinion is that they will carry by a large majority. Several wagers have been made on two to one, and one man wagered that they would carry five to one. The first wager looks safe enough but the second one is pretty dangerous cn most any election. To Fix Up City Clerk's Office City Commissioner Haslet is a chivalrous man.

The other day he began plans for the beautification of the office occupied by City Clerk Lola A. Walton. The first object to draw his attention was the long table in the middle of the room that is used as an all purpose desk. The green cloth covering was all torn loose around the edges and part of the cabinet work had become unglued and fallen off. This table will be rejuvenated in some' manner.

"And then I can't see why we may not have some potted plants here, like Judge Taggart 1 has in his office in the court House. As long as we have a lady for Clerk I think we ought to make the room pleasant for her. "An aquarium and gold fish was suggested. "Yes I'd like them too. I think that would be nice of the Board of Crmmissioners whether the Clerk was a lady or gentleman," said Miss Walton.

"Well," said Mr. Haslet, "I am going to see what I can do about it. This building is heated all durinsr the night anyhow and the expense would be nothing."

A Good Thing at Times Not to Know Where Your Next Meal is Coming From In the October American Magazine David Grayson, author of in Contentment," writes a sketch en- titled "The Friendlv Road." in which he describes a tramn and nhilosonhpr on tramping. The following is an ex- tract: "In a book I read not loner aero the C3 TO-DA1CS BAND CONCERT SHOW drew a gu6 on him at the same time telling him to keep quiet and hand ovre his money and he wouldn't be hurt.

Having only ten dollars with him he promptly produced it and started to get away. The bandits stopped hirn again saying that they knew he had more money than that probably sewed up somewhere in his clothing. lir Schrock declared it was all he had so the desperadoes grabbed him and said they would take him out in the woods some where and find out for themselves. While driving the car at the rate of forty miles an hour the robbers made all sorts of threats in an attempt to get more money. After a while they came into the edge of Enid and the speed was slackened to about thirty miles an hour.

Seeing a group of people on the sidewalk who might aid him, Schrock madea jump for it. The robbers had seen the people on the sidewalk too and made a hasty retreat. Although badly bruised and shaken up, it 1 is thought Schrock will recover alright. The manager of the Waynoka Harvey House was notified and hurried down to look after the suffering boy.

Ah: Marry when the year is new, Always loving, kind and true. When February birds do mate. You may wed. nor dread your fate. If you wed when march wind3 blow, Joy and sorrow both you'll know.

Marry in April when you can, Joy for maiden and for man. Marry in the month of May. You will surely rue the day. Marry when June roses blow, Over land and sea you'll go. They who in July do wed.

Must labor always for their bread. Whoever wed in August be, Many a change are sure to see. Marry in September's shine, Your living will be rich and fine. If in October you do marry. Love will come, but riches tarry.

If you wed in bleak November, Only joy will come, remember. When December's snows fall fast, Marry and true love will last.

I am convinced that every man needs some such change as this, an opportu-j nity to think things out, to get a new grip on life, and a new hold on God. I But not for me the Arctic ice cap or the desert! I choose the people who travel in it or live along it I choose even the busy city at the end of it. "I assure you, friend, that it is a wonderful thing for a man to cast himself freeiy for a time upon the world, not knowing for a time where hi3 next meal is coming from, nor where he is going to sleep for the night. It is a surprising readjuster of values. I paid my way I think, throughout my pil- rgrimage; but I discovered that stamped metal is far from being the world's only coin.
