Who Shoes Your Horse?
Probably you had not thought much of it. Probably
you had never thought that a horse suffers from cramped
feet just as you suffer when you wear a pair of ill fitting
shoes that are not made to fn your feet. But the difference
is the horse cannot complain, -but he is rendered ill and
nervous and is more likely to take fright and run away with
your iamiJy. The remedy is easy, bring him here where
we make every shoe to fit the individual foot, where the
shoers are experts. It costs no more.

photograph shows a spiral neh
..parently disapproving the neb-
utal hypothesis of the famous French
astronomer haPlace and substantial
Ing the more recent hypothesis of
Prof. Chamberlain of the University
of Chicago.
The photograph, which is by far
the most distinct photograph of a spi
ral nebula ever made, was taen by
Prof. G. W. Kitchey of the Mount
Wilson observatory staff.
Prof. Chamberlain and bis colle
agues recently evolved the theory of a
spiral nebula whipping from Its
blanches masses of gaseous matter to
become its satellites. These, cooling,
would become planets and might be
come inhabitable, as the earth.
The spiral nubula In the Mount
Wilson photograph is calculated to lie
5,St;r,cy0,)00 miles from the earth.
Not even the faintest glimmer of Its
light can be seen from the earth by
the naked eye.
The new world, or sun, which the
scientists on Mount 'Wilson have pho
tographed, will le whipped clear of
the spiral nebula. It Is now some
150,0(10,000,000 miles from the central
luminous area of the larger nebula.
It may Itself become art Independ
ent nebula and roam in that section
of the firmament occupied 'by the
spiral nebula from which it sprung.
More probably, say the scientists, the
larger body will hold It in attraction
to a regular elliptical orbit.
Walter S. Adams, In charge of the
Mount Wilson solar observatory of
the Carnegie Institute, said today:
"We have not time to prove any hy
pothesis. The nebula we have photo
graphed is undoubtedly composed of
gaseoua and possibly liquid sub
stances, as Is the sun.''

GORE IN OKLAHOMA CITY.
Consults Legislator on Pending Ap
portionments. '.. Oklahoma City, Okla., Feb. 4. Unit
ed States Senator Gore arrived from
Washington tonight, and is in consul
tation with members of the legisla
ture regarding the pending legisla
tive and congressional apportion
ments. The senator is quoted as urg
ing that the legislative division be
made safely democratic.
It was stated tonight that the Rod-
die-Mitchell congressional apportion
ment bill offered in the senate yester
day would be revised to conform to
the congressional caucus bill, as an
nounced In today's papers. This re
tains the house membership at 391,
and gives Oklahoma seven members
of the lower house. The new bill
will make all the districts democratic,
whereas under the former Roddie
Mitchell bill for eight districts, one
was republican. The bill is said to
have the support of former Gov. Has
kell. A
UNDAUNTED BY REVERSES HE
PLACES DIRECT PRIMARY IN AD
VANTAGEOUS POSITION.
Washington, Feb. 1. .After a scries
of th'illing experiences, Senjtir Bo
rah, supported by progressive repub
licans and democratic senars, maJe
tremendous advance thro.igh the line
of the -old gnat (I -reiHiblk'titiA and
placed the resolution for the elec
tion of senators by direct ote of
the people in a most advantageous
position squarely In front of the
enemy's goal.
After taking several rebuffs ih
Idaho senator with persistence not
often witnessed in the senate, pound
ed away until he la'ided his resolu
tion In the favored place on the leg
islative rrograra, and It must come
un evfry day as unfinished busi
ness. The moment the Lorimer case was
laid aside Senators N'elson and Bo
rah clamored for recognition. Vice
President Sherman saw Mr. Nelson
first and gave him the floor. He
moved to take up the bill to reg
ulate the leasing of Alaskan coal
lands, whereupon Mr. Borah prompt
ly moved to lay that motion on
the table, which failed 36 to 41.
Borah Thought Squelched.
.Most senators thought this settled
the question and that the Borah
resolution -had . been successfully rel
egated to a position where it would
Mill
IT
not prove a dangerous factor in
the legislative program during the
short jvorlod remaining of the pres
ent congress.
After the senate had proceeded
with the Alaskan bill for a short
time, Mr. iNelson gave way to Senator
Warren to make a motion that the
senate adjourn until .Monday. Mr.
Borah here jumped into the fray
ai;nin. He s:iid 'he, would objn and
that ho did so because it hail become
apparent that senators opposed to his
resolution would not give consider
ation to It if they con d help It. He
demanded a rod call on the motion
to adjourn until 'Monday and this
time he won by a amall margin.
Idaho Man Bobs Up Again.
Thus encouraged Mr. Borah asked
that lilb resolution7 be made the un
finished business of the senate.
From the nreviour roll call It ap
peared that this resolution might be
given preference and Senator Pen
rose hurriedly moved an executive
session. Such a molion, under the
rules of the senate, may be made
it. a'iy time, and therefore Mr. Bortfi
again foamd liiself elbowed out of the
way. As the executive motion was
ing put to th senate Mr. Borah
made a demand for a roll call, se
cured a sufficient number of peconds
and the call was ordered.
On what was regarded as the most
significant vote of the day, the ex
ecutive session was denied, :n; to
40. All of those who voted In the
affirmative are regarded as lined up
against popular elections of senators
and those who voted in the negative
are known to be in favor of this
policy.
All of the affirmative votes were
cast hy republicans but several re
publican senators voted with the
democrats against the closed session
as follows:
The Honor Roll.
Beveridge, Borah, Bourne, Bristow,
Brown, Burkett, Oapp, Crawford,
Cummins, Dixon, Oronna. Jones, La
Follette, Nixon and Perkins.
Recognizing that Mr. Borah .had the
votes, no further objection was made
by the opponents and the resolution
became the unfinished business of
the senate without, a roll call. Sen
ator Hale even aided the supiorters
of "the resolution in accomplishing
the parliamentary proceedings .neces
sary to that end.
Good feeling was restored and Sen
ator Hale announced that he had
no disposition to prevent any senat r
from taking the time required to
prepare speeches on the question.
He withdrew also his objection to
an adjournment until Monday.

INDIAN OFFICE FORCE BUSY.
Rumor That Department is Preparing
to Merge Offices.
Muskogee, Okla., Feb. 4. The 100
Lovernment clerks in the office of
commissioner to the Five Civilized
Tribes are now working until 10
o'clock each night, the first lime
such a thing has happened in the
history of the government offices In
Muskogee. Every one of the clerks
and stenographers, mien and women,
are required to ieport at t'he office at
7:00 a. in. and work until 10 p. m.
The reason advanced at the com
missioner's office is the tremendous
amount of work entailed by the sale
of the unallotted lands, over x,0w)
tracts having been, sold, and the
appraisement of the timber lands.
There is a rumor, however, to the
effect that orders have come from
Commissioner Wright, who is in
Washington, to clean -up all the work
IKissible in order to turn the office
over to a new head at the end of the
fiscal year. If this is true, it means
that the commissioner's office is to
be consolidated with that of the
Indian agent here.

amounting to over $1,000. The police
