An industrial crisis such as would
follow a genera) strike by the more
*+.an 300,000 railroad employees in
the United States at this time woujd
quickly become of international im-
port am-e, and hardly less unfortunate
than some of the labor conflicts of
Europe, if the employees should in-
sist upon striking rather than upon
arbitration.
The employees are not asking that
they shall work less than ten hour0
a day. That is not the point. Thv
number of hours that they shall ordi-
narily be required to work is not of
moment to them. They have demand-
ed that they shall be paid on an eight
hour basis for a day of ten hours, or 1 ' "~~
even less than eight hours. OU) EYES GROW YOUNG

CHICKASHA, OKLAHOMA
THURSDAY, APRIL 20TH
60 HEAD REGISTEREO SHORTHORN CATTLE
A public sale of 00 head of richly bred, registered Short Horn Cattle at
Chickasha, Okla.. on April 20, beginning at 1 o'clock. On account of old age
and shortage of pasture we are compelled to close out our entire herd of
registered stuff that we have been 40 years in building up. The "era consists (
of 20 head of cows with calf by side, 15 head to be fresh soon; 6 yearling
heifers; 15 bulls 1 two-year old Pure Scotch Bull, and a good one; the rest
arw yearlings. All the cattle are Scotch and Scotch Top. \*e have used a:
pure Scotch Bull the last 5 years. We know that we have the Uest bunch of
Milking Shorthorns that money can buy and that is what the farmer wants,
the cow that will raise a caif and keep a family. This will be a great oppor-;
tunity for the people of Oklahoma to get good cattle at their own Ppee, as
we don't expect them to sell high, so be at Chickasha, Okla., on Apr" ®t
the Sale Pavilion commencing at 1 o'clock. Railroad service good.

Our First Music Teachers.
Birds were our fir9t music-teachers.
Authorities on harmony have written
volumes in search of the origin of the
minor scale. If they had turned to the
birds they might have discovered it
without any search whatever. In every
English copse, the cuckoo (who has
but two notes at his commind) sings
a perfect minor third downward. Lis-
ten to our wood thrush's melody! His
cluster of three notes forms a perfect
minor chord.

We have a little story for you. Our Grandmother:> cooked by the
fireplace; our mothers suffered from the heat of a coal or wood stove
and just two or three years ago we had oil stoves that were the best
we could buy at that time, but now we have a Blue Flame Oil stove
that is the latest creation in kitchen comfort. Thev burn no more oil
than the old style and make one third more heat. Our oil stoves have
short flues and the flame is up against the cooking vessel. Our pric-
es are $9.50 and up.
