Graham at Gary's Lake by the coroner's jury at Idaho Falls. Sibbetts killed Graham, after Gra ham had drawn a gun and com menced firing at him. The affair started after Inez Sibbetts, nineteen year old daughter of Sibbetts, had re turned a ring to Graham to whom she was engaged, thereby breaking their engaegment. Evidence brought out at the coroners hearing showed that Sibbetts had been opposed to the marriage of his daughter as Graham was supposed to have tuber culosis. Miss Sibbetts informed her fiancee that she thought it best to break off the engagement which seemed to enrage Graham to such an extent that he declared he would see that the "old man didn't break any more engagements." After talking this remark over with her father Miss Sibbetts sent her engagement ring back to Graham. After the receipt of the ring as shown by the evidence Graham came to the Sibbetts ranch 2nd as he started for the door was met by Sib betts who told him that If he was looking for trouble he had better not come on the place. Graham replied that he was not looking for trouble and continued to come forward. As he came within a few rods of the door, Sibbets with a rifle, in his hand ordered Graham to stop and be searched to see if he possessed a gun. Graham then drew a revolver and started firing at Sibbetts who re turned the fire and instantly killed him. + Alimony is exempt from income tax. It's a relief to find that some thing is.

The Unwritten Language By Amelia Hansen Little Georgie was ony six years old so his knowledge of the world was limited. riding on a street-car one day He and his mother were when three boys about seventeen or eighteen years of age entered and took the seat opposite them. George had seen boys Ike these before at basket ball games, which he had at tended with his parents and there after his-ony ambition was to be like them. pleased as well as interested when the boys began a conservation. "Were you guys to the squabble last night," asked one. "Yes, they had some tussle, too." "Who played?" "Say, where you been?" "Off on a rage Who played?" "Say, guy, so you know there was a game?" "Well, you bg cheese, I heard there Who played?" "We did." "Well, you rube,, who else?" "Plain City." • Thank you." Little George was sitting sidewise in his seat resting his chin in his hands. His mouth was open and a puzzled look was In his eyes. "By the way, Chuck, where did you get that shiner?" "At the game." "Oh, he's feedin' yu." "Oh, shut up. I'm not either." "He got that after the hop." Thin brought a laugh from the other two boys and Chuck grumbled something incomprehensible. "Aw, keep still or I'll bounce a pebble on your bean." The car stopped and the boys strode out leaving Georgie very much puzzled He sighed and turning to his mother said, "What country are those boys from?" Consequently he was much 31 __ 33 gt.

Kinney Mercantile Company "We Appreciate Your Business i * IS :.r PUBLICITY PROBLEM MET BY ABILENE Merchants Combine to Eliminate Charity Space Promoters and Save Small towns may not be any dif ferent from big ones when it comes to being the hunting grounds for every sort of promoter, especially in the advertising line. Men know that advertising is good for others and are more or less open to any scheme that comes along backed by a good talk. Big towns have the advant age of protection. Many of them have well organized committees and ad clubs that fend off the free-lance at tacks of specialty men. Abilene, (Kansas, we suppose) came to a realization of how much money was going out of town for wild-cat advertising stunts, local lodge programs, school booklets and etc. etc. and the business men formed an association. The experience of this association in saving the town much wasted advertising money has been made the subject of a lead ar ticle in the Merchant's Trade Journal of February. According to the author of this article, the chairman of the Abilene Business Men's association made a speech as follows at the organization "We are paying out in this town $1500 a year for fool advertising. I take a space in every one of theJ schemes that come along and so d) the others. Why? Because we are afraid our competitors will get ahead of us. If we will stand to-1 gether we can all escape this tax and have more money to put in the local newspapers, where it will do us some good." One of the first rules of the as sociation was: "The president shall appoint, a committee to have charge of the ad vertising department and pass on all requests for donations and advertis ing tchemes. All advertising, except for daily and weekly publications, shall be referred to the secretary and by him to the committee, also all do nations shall be referred to him." Blackfoot has such a committee, but the Abilene club used its com mittee. A man came to town seeking to en tice the business men to finance a campaign of advertising articles en titled: "Trading at Home." The price was high. Instead of letting this man tax all the merchants of town the association turned it down and offered to pay for all the trade at-home, plates the newspapers wanted to order and publish. One problem that came along to make the business men think hard was that of the war fund workers who wanted to give a benefit enter tainment and solicit advertising for the programs The association held firm and came back with: "We will print your programs free and have no advertising on them. It will be our donation—paid for out of our treasury. *' To quote from the article: "For years the ffcir association had gathered in from $150 to $200 for advertising in that premium list. This was also a good cause but the merchants paid too much for the publicity, which w^s of doubtful worth. When the committee had heard the plea for another solicita tion, it replied: 'We will print the books for you free of cost and the only advertising will be a general In vitation to people to come to Abilene to trade.' The premium lists cost $82.50—which was paid out of the treasury, a saving of at least $67.60 and probably more." Abilene, says the author, went on the promoters' blacklist, and only oc casionally would some cheap proposi tion come to town and hook the mer chants on the side streets who did not belong to the association. And then he states an inspired truth: "It is a curious thing that many a business man who will not advertise in the newspapers which go into the homes of the community will bite on soem stranger's plan which, under the best of conditions could not give one-tenth the publicity with a cost vastly greater." After live years' operation of its iron-dad plan Abilene found that it saved $7500, $1600 every year right along. It was a matter of co-opera tion. meeting: FAIR ASSOCIATION ANNALS REVIEWED Short Sketches of Men Who Labored for Its Success U. V. FISHER was a member of the board from 1913 to 1919 inelu give and did much to keep up the work. Mr. Fisher is a great lover of livestock, and in his present occupa tion of operating a feed store lie is supplying the wants of animals and poultry, and he takes an interest in hunting up all the things in foods and conveniences that add to the comfort and joy of the animals and fowls. If there is a new kind of chick-food or a new kind of chick comfort, a convenience that will add to thq joy of the chickens in keeping themselves clean and healthy, Mr. Fisher takes an interest in finding it and getting it into shape for use. Now that the fair has helped people to get agriculture on a better basis than formerly, there is need for dealers to supply the things of commerce that will keep on building for greater agriculture. Mr. Fisher is engaged j n that work, Closing Chapter A Lover of Livestock F. C. CHRIST the jeweler is a lover of livestocs, and should have en gaged in breeding fine stock instead of handling diamonds. Thur all the years when he was a member of the board of directors for the fair, he re veled in thoughts of horse races and other sports. It is always a joy to Mr. Christ to get out among the stock, and if he could have his "druthers" he would stay out with them. If he ever gets started to raising wild animals for their pelts and increase, he will love each one so thoroly he will never want to sep arate them from their pelts. He has donated a great deal of time to the fair and thru that work, donated to the country at large. Still Building Agriculture A Busy Mathematician H. D. MAC COSHAM began serv ing on the board in 1914 and con tinued till it closed its books in 1919. He is the manager of the Rowles Mack company at Blackfoot, and while on the hoard he was one of the analyzers of every situation as it arose. If the board had a dozen troublesome problems before it, Mr. MacCosham would analyze every one of them and tell them about what it was worth or where the weak points lay. He has a habt and a talent for weighing every proposition and fore teling how it will work out. He was one of the committee that worked on most of the problems during the war and was generally ready with totals of the resources of the county In men, money and objectors, and he could generally tell the committee what they had and whereto put their fingers on them. A Busy Stockman JAMES MARTIN Is a stockman whose fates kept him dealing in im plements and hardware. He was generally busy with something to help the fair, whether he was on the borad or not. He has been on the board since 1915 and was one of the irrepressible workers who could not be kept down. A natural sportsman, he was always interested in having a good race program, and being a stockman by nature he was keen for a good stock exhibit. The members who served on the board from and after 1915 were all men who had served before and they have been written up. We believe we have pub lished a sketch about every .man who ever served on the board, and If any have been overlooked we do not know who It Is. -F NEWSPAPERS FAILED In the past three years, 230 news papers have suspended in the state of Oklahoma, due to the high cost of labor and the shortage of print paper.
