Tuesday afternoon the home of Sg
Mr. and Mrs. II. A. Hawk was the I j
scene of much merriment, the oe-2
casion being the third birthday of ^
their little daughter, Frances Naomi.
The time was spent in plays such
as children of their age could enjoy.
Delicious refreshments of ice cream
and cake was served to the child-
ren, and coffee and cake to the
grown folks.
At each end of the table were
little green nests, filled with colored |
candy eggs and chickens, and small
white rabbits were placed at each 11
plate, while in the center was the
birthday cake i n which burned j

Gin Catches Fire
The gin of A. B. Black caught on
lire Saturday evening, but was ex-
tinguished by the fire department
before much damage was done.

Pruitt-Burns
Mr. Herchel Pruitt, of near Lone
Star, and Miss Kate Burns, of Wil-
low View, were married at the
home of Rev. II. II. Everett at 11
▼o'clock Saturday night. Rev. Evcr-
, ctt performed the ceremony.
They are a very popular youilfe
couple, well and favorably liked by
all who know them. We wish
them much happiness during their
married life.
The March Osage
The March number of the Osage,
Oklahoma's new, live magazine, is
out and contains several surprizes
in the matter of its contents. The
Osage is setting a new standard for
Oklahoma journals of this class.
The cover page is in three-color
half-tone, the title page being an
exact reproduction of one of Paul
Weimar's most famous Indian
paintings, and the back a splendid
color plate of the new Colcord
building in Oklahoma City, the
most remarkable office building of
the Southwest. Throughout the
magazine are numerous fine illus-
trations.
The farmers jvill Ue particularly
interested in the editorials and arti-
cles relative to their particular in-
terests, and the women will also be
pleased at the recognition they re-
ceive in this number, the chief fea-
ture being a contribution by Ida
Porter Boyer on the suffrage move-
ment, with portraits.
All will be interested in a contri-
bution by Rev. J. H, O. Smith on
the prevalent missionary movement
by the laymen of the churches. No
writer has gone so directly at the
heart of the great world social prob-
lem than does this writer.
The historical articles are, as usu-
al, in the Osage, of thrilling inter-
est and are vouched for as to their,
authenticity.
The editorial feature of this mag-
azine is notable for the independent
stand taken on any subject treated,
and for its incisive brevity.
The issue is permeated with the
booster spirit of Oklahoma as a
whole, and alive with interest in
• very feature.

has been greater than ever before.

Economic Use of Meats
Discussion of the increasing cost
of living has brought to light quite
generally that the cheaper cuts
of meats are more difficult to [ire-
pare for the table than the more
expensive portions of the carcass,
due to a lack of know ledge of how
they may be made appetizing and
palatable. With a view to provid-
ing the housekeepers of the coun-
try with practical suggestions along
this line, the United States depart-
ment of agriculture has prepared a
manual of economy in meat cook-
ing that contains much valuable
information, which will be issued
free. It is known as "Economic
( so of Meats iii the Home." and
may be had by addressing a re-
quest to the secretary of agriculture

The
Easter Flower
Trade
Millions of dollars are expen-
ded for petaled luxuries during
the week preceding the joyous
spring holiday. This week's
feature will tell in an interest-
ing way something of the mam-

trade of the United States.

As in all other lines of busi-
ness, which have been charac-
terized by sudden growth, for-
tunes have been made by many
pioneers in the trade. One re-
tailer who was a street peddler
sixteen years ago, is now worth
several million dollars.
