I The sentiment brought out is that while we are trying to make auto matic laws to enforce themselves, the automatic feature has a crook in its works and refuses to function. So while we have a deluge of laws and words about laws we have a drought of results, and not much more law effectiveness than an oyster has. Ki wanis has been active in getting this matter of highway patrol and driv er’s license before other clubs of the State, and as practically all the clubs responding have been favorable to something of the sort it is hoped that at the coming legislature a proper or ganization may be provided, and the needed methods of applying the law directed, so that some degree of safety may be thrown around highway travel NO DOUBT ABOUT JOSEPHUS.

A Northern friend at my house a few days ago got around to Knoll- wood as a subject of discussion, and asked my opinion of the real estate booms in the Sandhills. I told him we tried to keep away from real es tate booms, but warmly encouraged real estate development that keeps within its legitimate bounds, and en courages people of high and low finan cial ability to develop for utilitarian purposes anything within their reach. The aim is two-fold. One object is to encourage people of small means to secure for themselves a bit of ground with a house and make a home. Another is to stimulate the acquisition of more expensive hold ings by people of greater means and the creation of attractive and preten tious homes on such holdings. Five building and loan associations are working in Moore County, one at each of the chief villages, and these insti tutions are creating homes for a large number of families. The lot schemes that afford building sites for these people are creditable move ments. And likewise the bigger schemes that provide sites for more ambitious homes are equally credit able. Moreover these bigger schemes constitute a leading industry of the The leading Democratic paper Tulsa, The Tribune, edited by Richard Lloyd Jones, some days ago declined to support Governor Smith.
