the material to be used in the build

pacity of three hundred beds and

will be one hundred feet long, for-

be twice that of the old laundry
and will be sufficient for the grow-
ing needs of the institution for the
next few years. A special feature
of the laundry will be the sterila-
zation equipment for the preven-
tion of infection which is a neces-
sary part of hospital laundries.
Layton & Smith of Oklahoma
City are architects for all the
buildings.
Fifteen thousand dollars is bid-
ing expended on improvements on
the water works system. A 50,-
000 gallon concrete reservoir is be-
ing installed and a 50,000 gallon
standpipe on a seventy-five foot
tower of steel.
Ice and Refrigeration Plant
The contract for a $15,000 ad-
dition to the ice and refrigeration
plant was let this week. This will
give the state hospital the largest
patients. They are not "violent
wards' in the old sense of the
word in any way and the patients
show few really destructive or vio-
lent tendencies.
Expect 1500 Patients
While much is being done to re-
store the health of those suffering
from insanity, little can be done in
the way of prevention and thc
increasing population of the state
calls for extra expenditure to ac-
versity City.
Help drive away such town des-
troyers. They live on the sub-
stance of others; they stay in Nor-
man to fatten on the product of
other people's labor.
Ninety-nine per cent of the peo-
ple of Norman believe in civic im-
provement and growth. It is
growing better every day and ev-
ery hour, internal vigilance will
keep the spots from darkening the
sun.
You do not need a smoked glass
to see the spots on the Boule-
vard.
The natural eye can see thertl. If
the Boulevard was free from stains
we could then move out tent to
Asp avenue, and yet we think it is
nearly perfect now. Asp always
was on the right iside.

lawyers as there were in the pro-
fession did not inspire enough con-
fidence in their colored brethren
for them to accept their counsel
when they were involved in a legal
difficulty a.-> serious even as chick-
en stealing.
Yet it seems that eolored peo-
ple are gaining more confidence
in their own race than Aunt Liza
who had recently been married.
When her mistress paid her off she
said: 'Missus, yome juse keep the
money fob me will voh?"
"Why yes, Liza, but why don't
you want to keep it as usual?"
"Missus, I got married last
week and I'm not going to run no
risks 'bout my money with a
strange nigger 'bout de place."

SOLDIERS' BAGOAGE
AT HOBOKEN, N. J.
On the Government docks at
j llohoken, \ J., are 150,000 pieces
of lost baggage belonging to
j members of the American Expe-
ditionary forces. which remain
unclaimed bv their owners. They
consist of 20.000 trunk lockers,
, 15,0011 bed rolls, 5,000 suit cases.
| j and 110,000 barrack bags.
Most of this baggage is marked
j with names only and cannot be !
j forwarded to the owners on ac- |
| count of the lack of address. It is i
wheat. The ground was plowed
six niches deep, double disced and
a good firm under-seed bed was
made. The idea is to test wheth-
er or not soft wheat will out-
yield hard wheat.
Cleveland county is peculiarly
situated on the edge of thc hard
wheat belt just inside the soft
wheat belt. Hard wheat grown
here turns soft and soft wheat
turns hard. The desire of Coun-
ty Agent L. FZ. Bogan and others
is to get a seed wheat that will
grow here and remain in its na-
tural texture.
ED MINTEER TO MARRY
Distributed to Test Third-Year
Alfalfa; Land Shows Lack
of Lime
Sixty tons of ground lime-stone
have been distributed on the
Southwest quarter of Dr. D. R.
Boyd's farm, west of Norman. It
has been placed there to test its
effect on the growing of alfalfa in
Cleveland county. Land in this
county has been showing a lack
of lime from the fact that alfalfa
flourishes in the first two years
and dies out the third year.
It takes lime one year to show
any result in the improvement of
land. This experiment plot has
been planted to wheat. Next year
the plot will be sown to alfalfa,
after the lime has had time to
take good effect.
