CHANGING THE FRONTIER
CHEERFULLY DESTROY THEIR OWN HOMES
After waiting 40 years the French
finally had a chance at the Qerman
frontier marka along the Alsace-Lor-
ralne border, and it did not take them
long to tear down the signs that bore
the black eagle and the words
"Deutches Reich."
Guthrie's Recall Vetoed
Action of the district court of Lo-
gan county in granting a writ of man-
damus to compell E. N. Dunham, city
clerk of Guthrie, to certify to the cor-
rectness and validity of a petition
seeking the recall of Mayor J. K. Niss-
ley, was reversed by the supreme court
in an opinion given by Justice F. E.
Riddle.
Guthrie has the commission form of
government, and under Its charter the
city clerk Is given authority to review
petitions asking the recall of city of-
ficials, and to determine whether they
are sufficient. A petition was circu-
lated asking the city commissioners to
call an election to vote on the recall
of Mayor Nissley. After reviewing
the petition Dunham held It was in-
sufficient, and refused to certify it to
the commissioners.
Application was made to district
court for a mandamus to compel Dun-
ham to act, and was granted. Dun-
ham appealed to the supreme court.
In determining the case* Judge
Riddle holds that the powers con-
ferred on the city clerk by the char-
ter, are discretionary and not subject
to control by court orders. Only min-
isterial duties, he says, are subject
to mandamus. In case the city clerk
would arbitrarily refuse to perform
his discretionary powers, then a writ
of mandamus, he says, should issue.
Gypsy la Defendant
The Gypsy Oil Company has been
made a defendant In the case pend-
ing in the United States district
court, in which the state's title to
the river beds of the Arkansas is at-
tacked. The action was taken on mo-
tion of the Scioto Otl Company, one
of the defendants, after a hearing be-
fore Judge John H. Cotteral.
Judge Cotteral also made an order
Instructing the receiver already ap-
pointed in the case to take charge of
the proceeds of oil that has hereto-
fore been sold or may hereafter be
sold from the wells of the Gypsy Com-
pany and located in the river bed of
the Arkansas river in sections 6 and
7. township 21 north, range 8 east of
the Indian meridian.
As the case now stands there are
nine separate sets of defendants, the
Brewer-Elliott Oil & Gas Company,
Pawnee-Osage Oil & Gas Company,
Chlckosage Oil & Gas Company, Num-
ber One Oil Company, Arkansas River
Bed Oil & Gas Company, the Sciota
Oil Company, the Gypsy Oil Company

State Sustains a Heavy Fire Lost
Recent oil fires in the Cushing and
Healdton fields, caused by lightning,
resulted in a moMtary loss of $350,000
according to the monthly report of
State Fire Marshal C. C. Hammond,
which was made to State Insurance
Commissioner A. L. Welch.
The total loss by fire In August, ac-
cording to the report, was $535,171.67,
which Is the greatest sustained in any
single month since the creation of the
fire marshal's department. The great
loss, however, Is due to the oil fires
and the burning of Morril hall, the
administration building at the A. and
M. college at Stillwater, which result-
ed in a Ioeb of $90,000. After these
losses have been deducted the re-
maining damage is about normal, ac-
cording to Mr. Hammond.
There were ninety-eight fires In the
month.
To Curtail Oil Production.
Complete shutting down of hun-
dreds of oil wells as a means of limit-
ing production to meet actual demand
may be the next step by the corpora-
tion commission In its effort to con-
serve the supply, and settle contro-
versies between producers and pipe
line companies regarding prices and
transportation.
That such action Is contemplated
by the commission is Intimated by
Commissioner George A. Henshaw In
a statement, attached to an order Is-
sued by the commission, which re-
vokes the so-called 76-cent price or-
der, and gives pipe line companies
authority to purchase crude oil at 68
cents a barrel.
Darby Files Report.
J. F. Darby, receiver in the Cimar-
ron river bed case, has filed his re-
port with the United States court for
the month of August. The report
shows that after all expenses have
been paid there Is $21,786.50 on hand.
This is the case In which the Cim-
arron River Bed Oil Company and
others, the state and the Creek nation
are ail claiming the river bed which
has a large number of producing oil
wells. t i

School Land Funds Show Big Increase
Receipts from all sources by the
state school land department for the
month of August of the present year
show an Increase of $68,396.98 over
tha corresponding month in 1913.
Total receipts for last month were
$197,713.22, of which $87,310.62 Is In-
terest on farm loans, collected through
the loan division; $22,317.10 from the
leasing division, and $88,076.60 from
the aales division. Receipts for Au-
fust, 1913, aggregated $129,316.21
Flavor Should Be Varied, and That l|
by No Means a Hard Task—Mix
the Dish Immediately Be-
fore Serving.
Avoid giving all salads the same
taste by flavoring them with some
condiment one Is perhaps over-fond
of. Variety Is the main spice of
salads as of life. While connoisseurs
all agree that pure, fresh olive oil is
the best for salads, there are people
who prefer the fat smoked bacon and
relish Its flavor above all else.
It Is well to remember that we
should know how to substitute one
condiment or another, If necessary,
and not go saladless for want of one
particular flavoring material.
Salt Is perhaps the one Indispensa-
ble seasoning, and of all flavoring
substances the onion Is the most valu-
able and enjoyable to all, even to
those who would not willingly eat
the salad If they knew the onion had
been used. For use In salads, how-
ever, the onions must be mild In flavor
and their presence cunningly con-
cealed.
Salads of all kinds should be gently
handled. That Is, they should not be
heavily turned, but mixed In a very
large bowl, by running the fork and
spoon down the sides of the dish and
then gently tossing the salad with an
upward movement, letting It mix as it
falls back.
In mixing a plain lettuce or other
green salad It Is well to put the oil on
first and then carefully toss the leaves
about until all are covered. In every
part, with a thin coating of the oil.
Then add the other Ingredients and
toss again. A small quantity of oil
Is sufficient when this method of thor-
ough mixing is observed.
Lettuce should always be very care-
fully cleaned several hours before it is
wanted and then wrapped in a wet
cloth and put directly on Ice until it is
wanted.
A salad should never be mixed un-
til Just before it is to be served.
The various accompaniments of a
salad add much to Its attractiveness.
On6 thtJig full of possibilities is the
wafer. These should always be crisp,
and If they are damp they can ba
crisped in the oven. Small wafers
flavored with cheese are delicious with
salad. So are thin salt wafers dotted
with butter and sprinkled with pep-
per and browned in the oven. These
should be served hot.
Then there is the cheese of various
sorts that is served with salad. Im-
ported cheese, naturally, Ib going up
In price because of the war, but noth-
ing Is better than Philadelphia cream
cheese, made into little bells and
rolled In ground nut meats, or with
two halves of walnuts or pecans
pressed Into the sides of a cheese
ball.
American domestic cheese sprinkled
on wafers which are heated In the
oven is also decidedly appetizing.
Stuffed Cucumbers.
Peel the cucumbers, cut them In
halves lengthwise and scoop out the
seeds. Mix together equal parts of
finely chopped cooked veal and ham.
add half the quantity of fine bread
crumbs, moisten with melted butter
and season with pepper, salt and a
few drops of onion juice. Fill the
cucumbers, place the halves together
and tie with soft twine. Put them in
a baking pan, pour in cne cupful of
stock and bake until tender. Remove
the twine, put the cucumbers on a hot
platter, thicken the gravy In the pan,
pour it over and around the cucum-
bers and Berve.
Clean Up Rubbish.
If you. the housewife, get a wee bit
tired of the dally round sometimes,
vow a vow and keep It.
Each housecleanlng time throw
away or give away or sell everything
that you do not need. Let all the
rooms have nothing superfluous, but
be particular to have the sleeping
rooms so simply furnished that five
minutes will suffice to set one In order
and one hour to clean It thoroughly.
Evaporated Apple Pies.
One-quarter box of evaporated ap
pies and one half pound of rhubarb
to a pie. Soak the apples over night.
Peel and cut rhubarb in small pieces
Use the usual amount of sugar for ap
pie pies, a pinch of salt and a few
bits of butter. Can use a little spice
If you like. The rhubarb gives the
flavor of green apples.
Cauliflower Au Parmesan.
Cook the cauliflower In boiling salted
water until tender and break It into
small branches. Butter a baking dish,
put In the cauliflower with stemp
down, cover with white sauce, sprinkle
with two tables poonfuls of grated
parmesan, cover with buttered crumbs
and bake until brown.
Broiled Green Peppers.
Cut young green peppers Into quar
ters, remove the seeds and partitions,
place on a greased broiler, cook over a
clear fire until the edges curl, sprinkle
with a dash of salt, dot with bits ol
butter and serve on cooked beef.
