Complaints have been made to the city commissioners on the Kansas side that the city courts, In their enforcement of the Bone Dry are returnins to tho old fine system In vogue wlien "Joints" operated In liberal numbers on the Kansas side. A set fine la Imposed oy Judge A. Herrod of the police court on all violators and a certain amount paid the city Is all that la needed by a group of three attorneys, who handle most of the cases, to obtain paroles for their clients. The minimum pun ishment for violating the Bone Dry law is $100 fine and thirty days' jail sentence; the maximum $500 fine und six months' Jail sentence, The amount of settlement, is usually from $25 to $100. C.

H. Jones of Oklahoma City, who Is said by the arresting officers to be a railroad attorney at Cherokee, OA, was fined In court yesterday af ter his case had been continued six times since his arrest, March 27. His attorney, who also was a bondsman, appeared for him and stood good for the sentence of $100 fine and thirty days In Jail. Without any questions the attorney handed $25 to the Judge and "paroled" was written on the docket. WOMEN TO PARLIAMENT London, May 2.

There will proba bly be three women candidates for seats In Parliament at the next gen eral election. In addition to Miss Nina Boyle, who intends to contest the Keighley division, the Independent Labor Party has added the names of Miss Margaret Bondflcld and Mrs. Philip Snowden, wife of Philip Snowden, member of Parliament, tj the list of available parliamentary candidates. Miss Nina Boyle has notified the Home Secretary of her efforts to se cure nomination ns parliamentary candidate for Keighley and has asked whether if It Is not permissible for women to stand for Parliament, it Is not equally inadmissible for women to be sworn In as police and whether It would not be possible to challenge any arrest made by. these women.

Miss Boyle says "his reply to that question Is that the answer can only be determined authoritatively by a court of law. That is Just how Parliament always evades responsibility for the laws It makes and whenever the laws are brought Into question, without exception it throws Its responsibility on the law courts." Not all the thinkers In high school are athletes, but most of the athletes are i good thinkers In fact a good athlete 1 must be a good thinker, as well as a good act-er. Among Athlete Woodworkers. Kenneth Key, captain of the football team last fall, says manual training has helped him to make athletic equipment. Sam Dunham, who played a stel-.

lar role at center last fall, thinks the M. T. work helps any body; he has made a dining table. Earl. Bruce, who played tackle on the rugby squad, Is making two electric light holders to use on a piano or reading table.

Earl also puts the allot at track meets. Unger and Lovelace. Leonard Unger, perhaps the best all-around man in W. H. does excellent work in manual training, Mr.

Woodin says, especially with the art metal. Leonard was All-Arkansas Valley quarterback, a good sub on tho basket ball squad, won six of seven ice races last w'nter, plays baseball and wins thirds anl fourths in intcr-class track meets. Winning 26 points In the inter-class track meet, and playing stellar roles in football and basket ball, are only part of the activities of Lynn Lovelace. His art metal work is well worth seeing. Walter Polsky, basket ball captain and catcher In a baseball team, does well with art metal.

Gerald Doughty, who played sensational basket ball at forward during the past season, also made a good record in wood turning and pattern making. Eddie Hlbarger, who played the other forward with Gerald, has a good record in all kinds of manual training work. Harold Kounsavell and F. C. Christ-man, who played together on the famous second team that defeated the first squad In the Y.

M. C. A. Tournament, do good work in manual training. Baseball Artist Turn Wood, Too.

An urgent invlta tlon to American cotton growers and manufacturers to affiliate with the international Cotton Federation was extended by Arno Pearse, of Manchester, England, secretary oi that organization in a paper read here today at the joint convention of the American Cotton Manufacturers Association and the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers. Mr. Pearse asserted that the views of American cotton men were not consid ered abroad because they are not rep resented In the international body which was formed more than fourteen years ago as a result or the Sully "corner and Is composed of leaders in the In dustry from Kngland, Russia, France, lta v. Denmark, inu la and jauan. uer- many and Austria have been excluded since the war.

'Cotton will be extremely scarce for many years after the war, stated Mr. Pearsp. "and its erowth should be en couraged wherever It can be carried on with success. He said it was question able whether the Southern cotton plant ers would In future find It more lucra tive to grow foodstuffs than their old startle. The American cotton men were asked by their British informant to take an international view of the situation not withstanding that the United states produces two-thirds of the world's cot ton supply.

In the five years between 19H and 1916, he said, America had increased its consumption 1.500,000 bales and within the next live years, ne predicted, this country would be using two- thirds of its own yield. In view nf the fact, he said, that th cotton Industry Is in a "most piecarl nui that the world's produc tion and consumption of cotton from 1905 to 1914 only just balance, tne ioi-Inwlni? tentative nroirram for combined action in the United States cotton belt by tho International Cotton teuerauon, based upon tho Americans becoming members, was suggesieu; i nofnrma In comoressing with con senuent KHA'inir In freight and packing. 2.

Organization of nil efficient crop reporting service thruout tho cotton belt. 4. Closer relations between producers and consumers of cotton. Lawton, May cotton dealers estimate that the crop will be cut third of what tho planters i Southwestern Oklahoma a month ago intended to plant. Thero are two factors explained us a direct cause for this the scarcity of farm help and the government's agitation upon the question of planting more feedstuff and tho fixing of cotton prices.

Cotton seed is very scarce and tho cold weather has delayed planting ef cotton three weeks. Very llttlo' cotton Is planted to date. A small per cent of lust year's cotton is being held by local yards and compressors. There are still heavy sales on cottonseed meal and hulls to the farmers who are feeding stork.
