Washington, August 4.—Main-
tainance of a field army with a
war strength of 1,250,000 men is
proposed in a bill establishing a
permanent military policy sent
to Congress by Secretary of War
Baker. The active forces would
be 510,000, while the remainder
would be young men serving a
three months military training
course, which would be com-
pulsory to all youths of that age.
This reserve strength would be
used to fill out twenty infantry
divisions and one cavalry divi-
sion into which it is proposed to
divide the regular army. Under
the plan a youth will be subject
to military service for two years
after completing his course in
military training in the event of
war. The selective act used dur-
ing the world war would become
operative.

Abilene, Texas, Aug. 5.—In
the County Court Saturday a
farmer was fined $25 for driving
his tractor over one of the piked
roads leading out of Abilene
Without first removing the lugs,
which officials claim tear up the
pike.
Multiplication of tractors in
this county following the record
wheat crop and still better pros-
pects for cotton and feed led
county officials to vigorously
prosecute all persons who abuse
the roads.
Columbus Bryant and wife of
Whitewright, by instrument filed
in the county clerk’s office, have
deeded to A. M. Bryant, a son,
and Mrs. A. H. Fortner, of Nolan
county, a daughter, several large
tracts of land about Whitewright,
the value of the land deeded to
each child being of the probable
value of $100,000, it is stated. To
A. M. Bryant is deeded five
tracts in the E. M. Jones and A.
Hilburn surveys totalling 526.68
acres, and to Mrs. Fortner is
deeded four tracts in the Kyle
Freeland, Wm. Cox and other
surveys totalling 650.5 acres.
The only considerations mention-
ed are “$1, love and affection.”—
Sherman Democrat.
The L. LaRoe Lumber Com-
pany shipped a car of lumber to
Leonard Wednesday. The lum-
ber was shipped to a citizen of
that place who was unable to get
the material there to build a
residence. A number of the
lumber yards over the country
can not supply their trade with
building material. The mills are
receiving orders for more lum-
ber than they can supply and as
a result many yards are short.
Both of the yards here are well
stocked and are supplying the
the demands for lumber in this
section. They saw what was
coming and placed large orders
early and were well stocked when
the rush came.

An attempt was made to burn
Frank Smith’s pool hall Tuesday
night about 11:30 o’clock. Kin-
dling had been stuck under the
northwest corner of the house,
oil poured on it and a match ap-
plied. The blaze was extinguish-
ed before any damage of a se-
rious nature was done.—Trenton

Eagle Pass, Tex., Aug. 4.—
Capt. Franklin R. O’Leary of
Birmingham, Ala., chanced to
visit this Rio Grande border
town a few days ago. While
here he met Mrs. Katherine Mc-
Coy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
T. J. Bolleter of Eagle Pass and
widow of Lieut. O. C. McCoy,
who died last fall while waiting
at San Antonio to be sent over-
seas. Capt. O’Leary proposed
marriage within two hours after
he met Mrs. McCoy. He was
accepted and the marriage was
immediately performed. Mrs.
O’Leary is just 19 years old. She
has a baby only a few months
old, and it was the baby that first
attracted Capt. O’Leary’s at-
tention and caused him to fall in
love with its mother, he says.
“I fell in love with the baby as
well as the mother herself,” said
Capt. O’Leary in speaking of his
romance, “and I won a wife and
baby at the same time.”
Capt. O’Leary came to Eagle
Pass on a pleasure visit. It was
through a mutual friend that the
pair met and it was a case of love
at first sight. They went out
together and hadn’t been gone
long before they decided to get
married.
Capt. O’Leary is a native of
Alabama. He went to Canada
and enlisted with the fighting
forces Aug. 13,1914, shortly after
the beginning of the war, going
overseas a few weeks later.
He was in the fighting for over
four years. He participated in
28 battles. He is one of the only
two survivors of Co. B, Tenth
Calgary Infantry, known as ‘’The
Fighting Tenth.” He has eleven
bullet holes in his body. He has
been gassed on three occasions.
He wears four decorations, the
American Distinguished Service
Cross, the French Croix de
Guerre, the English Distinguish-
ed Service Cross and the Italian
Cross of Honor.
fie was captured once by the
Germans and interned at Karls-
ruhe, being the only man known
to have escaped from this prison
camp, and he weighed less than
100 pounds on his arrival in the
allied territory. He had his
throat cut by a bullet as cleanly
as with a razor, the bullet just
missed the jugular vein.
Capt. O’Leary served actively
until the fighting ceased last
November. He served in the
infantry one year and three
months, and after being wound-
ed on four occasions he returned
to London and was transferred
to the Royal Flying Corps. It
was here that he distinguished
himself as a three ace after
bringing down 16 of the enemy
planes as official and five as un-
official, also five German observa-

“I took four bottles,”
Mrs. Jones goes on to
say, “and was not only
greatly relieved, but can
truthfully say that I have

“ It has now been two

If you suffer pain caused

Mr. C. L. Manning and Mrs.
May Blaine of this city were
married Tuesday evening, Rev.
J. F. Fender officiating. Their
plans were not made known to
their many friends and the an-
nouncement of their marriage
came as a surprise. They left
here for Sulphur, Oklahoma, by
auto where they will spend a few
days; they will also visit other
places before returning home.
The bride was born and rear-
ed in this section and is a mem-
ber of one of the pioneer families
of this community. She has
friends by the score who wish
for her all the happiness one
could ask for. The groom is one
of Whitewright’s leading busi-
ness men.
The Sun joins their many
friends in extending congratula
tions.

M. T. Weston, 325-10th Ave. W., Duluth,

Foley Kidney Pills have been the means of

der trouble which bothered me for some time.’*
The home is grateful to the
ladies of the Whitewright Pres-
byterian church for sixty jars of
fruit and vegetables. When the
children saw these, they laughed
and cried out: “Let me take
that one in.” They knew that
this fruit was all theirs, and no
one would get it but them. The
children thank the good women
of Whitewright for this great
gift.—Orphans Home Messenger,

the barrage tire of the Americans
in their first battles with the
Germans.
Capt. O’Leary won his decora-
tions while a flyer. The Ameri-
can Distinguished Service Cross
was presented him for his bril
liant work in directing the bar
rage for the American artillery
at Chateau-Thierry and his su-
preme nerve in remaining aloft
under the most dangerous con
ditions. He also flew on the
French and Italian fronts.
While O’Leary was fighting
in the trenches he was notified
that his three brothers, one by
one, had paid the supreme
sacrifice upon the field of battle.
Two of his brothers were killed
in the battle of the Somme.
Upon his return to the United
States Capt. O’Leary learned of
the death of his father and
mother, which occurred during
the influenza epidemic of last
fall.
Kansas City, Aug. 3.—Basing
his argument on the common law
that a man owns the earth be
neath his property to the center
of the globe and the air above for
an indefinite distance, Fredrick
Hoeneman, a suburban farmer,
was granted a temporary injunc
tion in the circuit court restrain
ing a local motor firm from oper-
ating airplanes over his farm.
The case, which is believed to be
the first of its kind to come be-
fore the courts, will be heard at
the September term of court.
The motor firm maintains a
hanger a few hundred feet from
Hoeneman’s suburban farm and
prior to selling an airplane makes
a test flight over the surround
ing country. Hoeneman alleges
that the planes fly over his farm
at a low altitude, frightening his
horses. He claims that during a
test flight one of his horses, dur-
ing a fit of terror, ran into a
ditch and broke a leg.
Judge Thomas B. Buckner in
circuit court temporarily sus-
tained the contention, based on
old English common law that a
man owns the earth beneath his
property to the center of the
globe and the air above to an in-
definite heigtit.
Van Alstyne, sixteen miles
south of Sherman on the inter-
urban, had two fires early this
morning which caused a loss of
at least $10,000 only partly cover-
ed by insurance.
The first fire was about 6
o’clock, and resulted in the de-
struction of a small negro house,
witn a loss of $250, and no insur-
ance.
About 9:30 o’clock fire was dis
covered in the W. H. Cave busi
ness house, formerly occupied
by the post office for a number
of years, but now occupied by
Nichols & Sons as a produce
house. The flames spread rapid-
ly to the vulcanizing establish-
ment next door, owned by J. B.
Rickerson, and from there the
flames spread to the grocery
store of J. B. Gathright. Mr.
