TIMES TO BE SOLD.
It was rumored upon the street* in
Oklahoma City yesterday that the
Evening Times was about to pass to
new owners—Hon. Dennis Flynn dis-
posing of his holding to newspaper
men of St. Joe, Missouri. If this is
true and the Times goes to the morn-
ing field, its future will be successful.
Oklahoma is in dire straits for the

THE APRiLIS FIESTA.
The annual celebration of the *S!lerh
so far as attendance went was a howl-
ing success. More out of town people
assembled in Oklahoma City last Kri
day and Saturday to be disap|K>inted
than upon any occasion of state char-
acter in the history of Oklahoma. So
far as the Indoor meetings were con-
cerned, those participating got their
money's worth, but the outside at-
tractions fell dolefnluly flat, especially
is this true of the advertised pageant
on Friday afternoon and Saturday
night. There was nothing attractive
on either occasion. Had it not been
for the elegantly equipped and bril-
liantly illuminated chariot gotten up
at great cost by the Oklahoma Gas &
Klectric company, the visitors would
have been locoed to a standstill. The
Aprils Fiesta association must turn
round and get right with themselves
if they expect the people to continue
their oversow patronage next year.
The advertising end was all that
could be expected, it was perfect and
gathered the crowd but the particip-
ants were not delivered the goods
promised them by the general man-
agement. Gatherings such as the
Aprilis Fiesta are what the Oklahoma
City merchants want, and it is up to
the promoters to see that visitors on
such occasions are not buncoed.
METROPOLITAN.
"The Girl from Out Yonder," a corn-
er)- that ran for many months In New
York City, is hfildlng the boards at
the Metropolitan theater this week,
with Miss Enid May Jackson in the
role of Flotsam, and the entire North
Brothers Stock company surrounding
her, including Will A. Peters, the new
comedian, who has more than ma'te
good as Captain Barton's confidential
friend and adviser. Hen Cooke. In
years to come, should recapitulation of
American stage successes be made,
"The Girl from Out Yonder" would
rank among the first. It is a play that
contains all the elements that go to
make a pleasing entertainment. In
the first place, there is enough drama
to suit those who like the serious side
of the stage. Then there is more com-
edy than found in many productions
that claim to be nothing else but com-
edies. The big feature of the show is
the scenery. Unusually impressive is
the second act, which shows a great
lighthouse and the hulk of an old ship
which was washed ashore twenty years
before the story begins. The story
as refreshing as the scenery and eveiy
thing combines to make a production
that appeals to every class of theater-
goers. There will be matinees on Sat-
urday and Sunday.
VICfOR HERBERT COMING
With His Orchestra and Seven Solo-
ists May 12-13.
Lovers of orchestra music in and
around Oklahoma City can thank the
members of the Mystic Shrine of the
Masons for their efforts in getting
this the biggest orchestra attraction
on the road today. They have guar-
anteed $5000 to this organization of
musicians and singers and judging by
the way the seats are being reserved
each of the three performances will
be to a packed house. The concrts
will be held at "The Auditorium."

If a plant standing In the open beds
a fine quality of seed corn for the gen
eral crop the following season.
To begin with, you should secure a
few good ears of the very best va-
riety for your conditions. If you have
not already got It, It may be advisable
to conduct a small variety test of
those varieties which appear to suit
your conditions. In this preliminary
work the varieties should be planted
side by side untfer the same conditions
and a careful study of each made.
Having selected the variety with
which you wish to begin, give up all
others and keep the variety pure by
careful selection and keeping the
breeding plant isolated so that pollen
from other fields cannot reach it.
You can always find a spot upon the
farm where a small plant can be iso-
lated. There are just as good rea-
sons for keeping a variety of corn
p\tre as there are for keeping a breed
of live stock pure.
For the breeding pint we should
always select a good, clean piece of ,
ground, where the corn can be given
the very best attention. Don't be ^ rccj Salvia as a Poi.Jd Plant,

and select seed for next year's plat
from the detasseled rows.
All breeding should be towards a
single, definite type. In carrying out
this we must keep in mind the size,
form and color of the ear; the form,
depth, shape, roughness and hardl
ness of the kernel: the covering of
butts and tips; the time of maturity,
etc. The character and size of the
stalk and the root and leaf develop
ment, as well as the position and char
acter of the shank, must also be kept

On the other hand primulas and oth-

In cool, semi-shaded rooms will not
prove satisfactory in a place adapted
to those needing more tropical condi-
tions. The plant-lover who expecta to
have all sorts of plants grow and
bloom in the same window will cer-
tainly be found wondering why some
of them do not come up to our expec
tatlon.

make the difference between a good
and poor crop, especially when sea
sons are unfavorable.
Productiveness must, of course, al
ways be a leading Interest and all
barren and weak stalks should be
destroyed before they shed pollen
tion, for rough-leaved plants that are
injured by frequent washings have no
chance to develop beautiful foliage in
a room where furniture needs dusting
every day.
Space is another factor that makes
for satisfactory window-gardening, for
The careful corn breeder should be certainly half a dozen plants devel
personally acquainted with each and
every stalk In the breeding plat and a
record of the pedigrees of each se
lected for seed in the breeding plat
should be kept.
SET OUT BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Are Great Delicacy and Represent
Choice Dish of Cabbage Family—
Allow Plenty of Room.
This plant deserves more attention
than it uBtially receives in most gar-
dens throughout the country. Many
people do not grow it at all. The lit-
tle sprouts borne in great profusion In
the axilB of the leaves are a great
delicacy and represent a choice dish
of the cabbage family.
They are cooked similar to cabbage.
They are very hardy and may be
grown In the north as well as the
south, as they may be left out until

oped to perfect form and good size are
vastly more beautiful than twice that
number of deformed specimens crowd
ed into the space.
August is none too early to decide
which plants shall be taken Into the
window garden and their treatment
from the time of the decision should
be much as will fit them to make a
fine display during the winter, rathei
than get the finest present showing.
If they are growing where crowded
sacrifice a few branches from the sur
rounding plants In order to give them
space for shapely development, then
pinch out the ends of the branches on
the selected plants to force the forma
tlon of lateral branches. These lateral
branches furnish the blooming points
on geraniums and most flowering
plants, and the more of them that can
be forced to start, the more flowers
one has during the winter.
Do not select plants that have
bloomed profusely during the sum
mer, for it is against nature to expect
them to keep it up during the winter
Above all, after deciding which plants
shall be potted for next winter's dls
play, keep all the buds pinched out-
do not let a single blossom develop
until the plants are established in
their winter quarters.
Girdled Trees.
Many trees that have been girdled
by mice can be saved by bridge graft
ing, which consists of bridging ovet
the bark above the place where the
mice have gnawed and that below.
Use small scions two or three inches
longer than the width of the girdled
place. These scions should be cut In
the fall and carefully preserved during
the winter. The grafting should be
done as early as possible In the spring

Guard Against Overchurnlng.
Overchurnlng should be guarded
against as well as under churning, for j
butter that Is over churned will re

which Is very difficult to remove by
washing. Consequently the butter will '
In time take up a rancid or buttermilk
