'When the spring season arrived this
year, Barnes is Bald to have found
his leadership challenged. The Howes
London shows appeared on tho scene
and from the start began dogging the
path of Barnes.
The first move was made when
Barnes changed his schedule and
Jumped back from Southern Califor
nia to Arizona to head off the in
vasion of that state by his competi
tor. Howes-London moved then and
dashed Into the San Joaquin valley
with Barnes jumping too. Now they
are both moving into nothem Cali

TOWN OF MELISSA LEVELED
FIRE ADDS TO WIND'S
HAVOC.
By United News
'McKINNEY, Texas, April 14. Five
children were killed and two railway
men were injured at Melissa, north
of here, when a tornada wiped out
mo3t of tho town late Wednesday.
Officials of the Texas electric rail
way report that two freight trains
were blown from the track and that
'flro following in the wake of the
storm did great damage.
Nur3es and doctors are being hur
ried to the scene.
Mrs. P. F. Lotlce, holding her in
fant daughter in her arms, was hurl
ed from her home by the force of the
storm and the child was killed. The
Infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. War
ner Young wa3 also picked from Its
cradle and killed.
Three negroes and two negro child
ren were reported killed.
The entire business section of Me
lissa was demolished with the excep
tion'of one building, the Melissa Na
tional bank.
Fifty persons were severely injur
d,e some of them fatally, it is re
ported. More than 200 school children had a
miraculous escape from death when
they huddled in tho hall of the school
; "This is a-mfghty good thing. It
should stimulate building in all lines,"
said George C. Wagner, vice-president
of the Terry and Tench Construction
firm here. He also thought the re
duction, in prices of manufactured
steel would probably be followed by
corresponding, reductions In the wages
of the men who make it.
Paul Starrett, -president of the
George A. Fuller Construction com
pany, said many prospective build
ers had held up their plans for Just
such an announcement as that of
Judge Gary, and thought it would
stimulate building.
Construction men, though not pre
dicting an actual boom, were optimis
tic as to the renewal of activity in
the near future. In Wall street; where
steel is the barometer of business, all
interest centered in the steel corpora
tion for indications of prosperity in
traction, construction and other lead
ing lines.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound

drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound." You'll get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe
