HINTS ON POTATO SEED
SELECTION
(1) Good seed is a determining fac-
: tor in the production of maximum
crops of potatoes.
(2) Good seed may be obtained by
the tuber-unit and hill-selection meth-
ods of selection through the elimina-
tion of unproductive and weak plants.
These methods are explained in Farm-
ers' Bulletin 533, "Good Seed Pota-
toes and How to Produce Them."
(3) Like produces like. If-tubers
from unproductive or weak plants are
used, a similar harvest will be reap-
ed.
(4) All tubers showing marked dis-
coloration of the flesh should he re-
jected.
(5) Purity of seed stock is an es-
, sential quality of good seed Serious
i losses are sustained by the grower
through mixtures.—U. S. Departme.it

Quotations of ocean freight rates on
wheat from New York to Liverpool
averaged 7.5 cents per bushel during
1914, the high rates of the latter part
of the year being offset partly by low
rates in the others months. During
1913 the average was 5.6 cents; in
!912. 7.7 cents; in 1911, 4.2 cents; and
for the five years 1906-1910 the av-
erage was 3.3 cer.ts. In June, 1915.
the quotatious reached 26 cflhts per
bushel. Ocean freight cm wheat from
Argentina to the the United Kingdom
reached 45 cents per bushel in April.

—The activities of the canvassers
for coal for summer delivery again
forcibly reminds us of the need of gas
in this town. Gas is the only thing
needed to make Norman the real ideal
place for a home.
—P. H. Reidesel and W. H. Six are
finishing up the remodeling of the Dr.
W. L. Capshaw residence on DeBarr
avenue, putting a third story onto it
and making many other improve-
ments.
"Look here," said one of the jury
men, after they had retired, "if I un-
derstand aright, the plaintiff doesn't
ask damages for blighted affections
or anything of that sort, but only
wants to get back what he's spent on
presents, pleasure trips and so forth."
"That is so," agreed the foreman.
"Well, then, I vote we don't give;
him a penny," said the other hastily.
"If all the fun he had with that girl
didn't cover the amount he expended,
it must be his own fault. Gentlemen,
I courted that girl once myself."
Who n> tne Most Beautiful Girl on
The Screen?—Many Say
Gall Kane.
Every now and then the old argu-
ment breaks out afresh as to who la
the most beautiful girl acting in mo-
tion pictures. Rival film manufac-
turers through their various publicity
men argue vehemently as to tha
merits of their respective candidates,
for on a delicate question like this,
bias is the publicity man's middl®
name. Let us wtisper it gently,—•
some of those very ladies whose
charms are so loudly extolled are not
the raving beauties in real life that
we are led to believe. In the case
of one of them, however, "the half has
not yet been told," as the Queen of
Sheba said,—Miss Gail Kane, who
stars in "Via Wireless," the well
known play by Paul Armstrong and
Winchell Smith, now being put into
pictures by Pathe, is a stunning beau-
ty whose charms need no qualification.
Miss Kane was born in Philadelphia
and if there were many more at homa
like her. Philadelphia would soon hava
a vast increase in its male popula-
tion. Tall, beautifully figured, splen-
didly gowned and with a peaches and
cream complexion mere man can ba
reckoned uppn to follow her in droves
like the famous rats of the Pied Piper
of Hamlin.
This Is Miss Kane's first engage-
ment with Pathe. She comes to her
picture work with a splendid reputa-
tion gained from leading parts in "Tha
Model", "Anatol", "Seven Keys to
Baldpate". "The Miracle Man", and
"The Hyphen", all Broadway suc-
cesses.
Lonaon, Aug. 14.—Affairs in the
Balkans are approaching a crisis.
While diplomatic negotiations are
proceeding in an effort to induce
1 states still neutral to cast their lot
with one side or the other, the Central
Powers have massed troops on the
' Balkan frontier. They plan, it is sup-
posed, to for-e a way through to re-
lieve the Turks, who are believed to be
'>adlv in need of shells.
This concentration which has beer,
followed by an artillery attack on
Serbian positions, is equally a menace
to Rumania, which again has refused
to permit shells to pass through her
1 territory to Turkey. The Rumanian j
army already is partly mobilized and 1
four new divisions of reserves now
have been called out.
Dispatches from Bucharest say that J
all munition works have been ordered i
, to prepare lists of available workers,
and estimates of the amount of am-
munition thev could supply the Ru-|
manian army on a fortnight's notice ;
At Bucharest it was stated that this
"as merely a precautionary measure,
but the news aroused fresh hopes here
that Rumania may eventually aban-j
■Ion its neutrality.
Dispatches from Nish today indi-
cate that the allied diplomats have j
been partly successful in persuading ^
Servia to make the concessions Bul-
garia demands for making war on
I Turkey.
I Bulgaria has as yet made no move
while awaiting the reply of the Quad-,
Tuple Entente. This answer probably,
will be forthcoming after the meeting
of the Greek and Servian parliaments,
next week.
While the Servians point out what,
•hey consider the unfairness of the
1 Bulgarian demand thev show an incli-;
| nation to make some concessions tp
; obtain the support of their former al-
i ly. Greece is Aiore firm in its refusal,
j but is believed here there may be a
hange in her policy when former
Premier Venizelos returns to power
The Greek government today called
■ scruits of the 1915 class to the cpl-
ors. No explanation accompanied
this move, but official circles here
! nrofessed to believe that Venizelos
i may have won over King Constantine
to a program that included the ceding
of Grecian Macedonia to Bulearia ir
| return for a promise of possession of
j Smvrna, and the joint entrance of Bul-
aria and Gteece into the war on the
j cide of the Allies.
; Venizelos Tias a strong pro-German,
party opposed to him and, according
to a telegram from Berlin tonight,
King Vonstantine will offer him the
premiership only on the understanding
that strict neutrality shall be main-
i tained.
This was the point upon which the
A BIG BATTLE IN GALLIPOLI
Athens, Aug. 14.—A concerted as-
sault by the allied land and sea forces
against the Turkish positions on Galli-
poli Peninsula was begun at dawn
yesterday and is continuing, according
to Mytilene dispatches, tonight.
British reinforcements landed north
of Gabe Tepe are receiving their bap-
tism of fire in charges against the
Turkish trenches and redoubts half a
mile from shore. For the first time in
several weeks practically every big
unit of the Anglo-French fleet is in
action.
Four ships are engaging the Asiatic
forts from inside the Dardanelles
while other warships are shellin" the
Turkish land works from a point off
Sari Bair. With fresh trosps, the
English eventually plan to hew their
way across Gallipoli to the Narrows
and make short work of the campaign
on the southern tip of the peninsula
The last transports, according to ad-
vices received here, were heavily la-
den with field artillery suitable for
work amid the Turkish ravines, and
carried large supplies of a new kind
of wire snipper for cutting through
the heavy Turkish wire defenses.
In the Sedd-Ul-Bahr region to the
south, the French have renewed their
attacks on the Turkish trenches be-
fore Krithia. The British naval divis-
ion, stationed on the French left, is
hammering away at the Turkish cen-
ter in night attacks and by steady
nibbling has made more dangerous
the position of the Ottoman troops in
the salient formed by the ravines of
Keroves Dere and the Dardanelles.

Fearing a repetition of the great
tidal wave that swept Galveston in
September, 1901, extra trains are
running out of Galveston today carry-
ing its inhabitants to the mainland.
As a result of a very heavy tropical
storm on Sunday the waves threaten
to demolish the great sea wall.
New Orleans is also threatened, tha
Mississippi river being higher than
ever before known, caused by the
back-water fiom the gulf.

polygamy after the war, quite a num-

But as they have all sorts of trouble
supporting one wife, what will they
do with three or four? Maybe, how-
ever, they figure the wives will sup-
port them.

Galloper."
Another famous Broadway favorita
has cast his lot to moving pictures.
Donald Mackenzie announces that ha
has signed Clifton Crawford to play
the lead in "The Galloper", the great
Broadway success of Richard Hard-
ing Davis, which is now being pro-
duced for Pathe at their Jersey City
Studios.
Melville Stewart, who is now play-
ing in the "Follies of 1915," will sup-
port Mr Crawford. The rest of tha
cast is also decidedly strong.
Mr. Crawford held off a long time
before consenting to sign up for tha
silent drama, but it was the tempting
contract offered by Mr. Mackenzie
which caused him to decide to enter
the field.
Born of actor parents in Edinburgh,
Scotland, Mr. Crawford took up tha
stage at an early age, and after ap-
pearing in small pirts for some time,
became a great favorite in the Eng-
lish music halls. Later he came to
America and played in vaudeville,
where he always appeared as a head-
liner. Later he appeared in such note-
worthy successes as "The Peasant
Girl". "The Quaker Girl", and "The
Three Twins." After starring for
three ,-easons in the last nam 1 ; •
duction. he made a tour of the
and thereby earned the sobr!
"the man who put a bell o:
around the world."

Boyd section of land, the section trad-

school district, however, is not high
(it is in District 29) and probably
$500 will cover the entire school,
county, township and state tax upon
it. It is probably the best 640 acres
for agricultural purposes in one bod"
in Cleveland county, and its location
—-only one n.ile west of the "best lit-
tle city in Oklahoma"—makes it still
more valuable.
