Will it be Your College Next Year?
The old question, should the boy or
girl who finishes high school go to
college, waB long ago answered In
the affirmative. Statistics show that
the chances for success by so doing
are wonderfully increased, but over
and above all the thinking parent has
realized that In an age when the
many men and women have college
and university training those who
have not stand much less chance in
the race for success than they did
even a generation ago. The question
today Is, where shall the high school
graduate go to college, and, with
state, denominational and privately
endowed institute of higher learning
everywhere, it is a more serious ques-
tion than some would believe.
It does make a difference where
the boy or girl is educated, and, to
Oklahoma in particular, it makes a
difference where the Oklahoma boy
or girl is educated. Once, when the
schools of the state were young and
undeveloped, there was some ground
for the argument that the Oklahoman
should go to Yale, Harvard or per-
haps the old college or university
back in the home state. Now that the
University of Oklahoma has nearly
900 students, boasts of a faculty sec-
ond to few In the west, and confers a
degree that stands for scholarship as
high as any state university in the
land, It is a serious mistake for the
Oklahoma youth to go without the
borders of the commonwealth to the
more expensive and perhaps decad-.
ent schools of other states. As the
state of Oklahoma, is strong in the
strength of youth and great in re-
Sources that point- to wonderful pro-
gress and a destiny which the year*
will speedily fulfill, Just so is its
Jhlghest educational ^institution ad-
vancing by leaps and bounds with
that same strength behind it, a lib-
eral citizenship to support it, and that
same wealth of resources to detenr-
lne its future greatness.
Y. M. C. A. for Hugo.
Conductor A. A. Brice Informed a
Husonian reporter Thursday that he
has plans underway which if they
do not miscarry, will result in Hugo
having a Y. M. C. A. at an early date.
Mr. Brice did not go very far into
the details of the work which he and
others had done but promised that at
a later date he would give us the full
dope.
Any city which is large enough to
be allowed to have an Elks lodge Is
large enough to have a Y. M. C. A.
Hugo more than two years ago passed
the required Elks mile post and has
been growing ever since and it is
surely large enough now to have the
Y. M. C. A. and It was learned from
our Informer that we were soon to
get that very thing.
If there is a man in our c ity who
can succeed In landing this plum for
us It Is Mr. Brice, as he is one of the
most popular railroad men in the city
and numbers his friends by all who
know him both in and out of railroad
circles, and it goes without saying
that he will receive the desired sup-
port in securing this new addition to
our city. We will take pleasure In
giving our readers a more full ac
count of the matter at an early date.

Hugo Traveler Home.
R. O. Burns has returned from
long trip into Southwestern Texas
and New Mexico, visiting in Elpaso
and Big Springs, Texas, Las Cruces,
New Mexico and Juarez, Mexico. He
reports a fine trip and a good climate
but that there is no place like Hugo.
While his train stopped In the yards
at Btard, Texas, a t>neak thief cut
the screen at the window of his berth
and stole his coat. He would have
probably taken more If Mr. Burns
had not awakened and frightened the
miscreant off. No money was in the
coat an dthe most valuable loss was
a handsome Elk's pin and a bunch of
keys.
Having Plans Drawn.

The Napoleon wars so drained the
flower of French manhood that even
today the physical stature of the aver-
age Frenchman Is nearly half an Inch
below what It was at the beginning of
Napoleon's reign.
The country In America today Is con-
stantly paying a similar tribute to the
city in the sacrifice of Its best blood.
Its best brain, the finest physical and
mental fiber In the world. This great
stream of superb country manhood
which Is ever flowing cityward Is rap-
Idly deteriorated by the softening,
emasculating influences of the city un-
til the superior virility, stamina and
sturdy qualities entirely, disappear In
two or three generations of city life.
Our city civilization Is always in a
process of decay and would In a few
generations become emasculated and

Believe Turtles Bring Rain.
Wetumka, Okla., July — Creek
Indians in this vicinity are resorting
to ancient customs in an attempt to
obtain a rainfall. One of their cus-
toms is to stake mud turtles on the
edge of a stream juBt far enough from
the water so that they cannot reach
it. It is the Indian belief that the tur-
tles, despairing of their attempts to
reach the water, invoke the aid of
the "Great Spirit," to send rain, so
that the stream will be raised and
brought near them.
Since the turtles were staked out
several rains have fallen. The Indians
say their prayers are answered, and
are fastening more turtles and pray-
lng for a still greater rainfall.
Two for Gaming.
Saturday morning about 3 o'clock
Night Policeman Bob Treadwell ar-
rested Horace Shaffer. Jim Johnson
and Sam Roebuck and lodged them in
jail to await the opening .of the Police
court.. Horace Shaffer and Jim John-
son were convicted of gaming and
given fines of $25 and the costs. Sam
Roebuck was charged with occupancy
of a room wherein gambling was go-
ing on, but was discharged on the mo-
tion of the city attorney.
Th* Amataur Tailor.
The university don is not always
the helpless and unpractical person
of popular caricature. There was. for
example, the Mr. Good hart of Trinity,
who, we are told In "Highways and
Byways In Cambridge." "was an ob-
ject of special admiration to all wbo
knew him. He was. In fact a kind
of Admirable Crlcbton; not only a
man of great intellectual power (as
fellows of Trinity must needs be, for
these fellowships are the blue riband
of the university), but excellent at all
athletic pursuits and able to do sue
cess fully whatever thing be set blx
band to. it Is recorded that on one
occasion a bet was laid that he could
not make himself an entire suit of
clothes and wear tbem for a month
without tbelr amateur origin being
detected. Good hart won."
New Railroad Crossing.
The city began the work on the
making of a new crossing over the
Frisco tracks at the west end of the
passenger station Monday. A
large crew of men and teams are at
work on the Job and It is expected
that the work will soon be done.
The locating of a crossing at this
place will be of great convenience to
the public in the north portion of the
city, as heretofore all travel has been
done over the Jackson street cross-
ing.
For Fighting.
Doc Kerbow paid a fine of $8.75
and a negro boy whom Doc had just
whipped, paid a like amount Saturday
when they were arraigned before
Judge McQueen for fighting. It
seems that the negro came along and
gave Kerbow some of his Up, and
some names in the bargain, when Doc
proceeded to beat him up.
William J. Bryan says that the
supreme court Is packed for the
trusts. The fact that the four new-
ly appointed Justices together with
Chief Justice White always vote the
same way when any matter of

significant. Such a thing does not
always happen by chance—Antlers

Jos* Sticks.
The composition of the candles called
joss sticks, which are used In all the
religions ceremonies of Buddhism, for
a long time remained a mystery, the
preparation of the sticks being Intrust-
ed to certain persons chosen from a
limited class. Not long ago, however,
% French chemist learned tbe manner
of making Joss sticks in Tndo-Chlna
A stem of bamboo Is rolled In a prep-
aration containing fonrteen different
odoriferous jini£a; two qt which are
significant as showing"a knowledge of
Chemical and physical properties.
These are aconite, which serves to
protect the sticks against the attacks
of rata aod mice, and camphor, which
causes tbem to burn steadily without
being periodically extinguished.—New

"Of course she meant to snub me.

all. I won't speak to ber when I'm

"Did you speak to her?"
"1 should say not. It's her place to
speak first. Do you suppose I'm going
to attract attention by yelling my
lungs out for tbe Uke of her? 1 guess
not"

"I never pay for messages," and. see-
ing an Inquiring look In tbe operator's

vinced that be was being Imposed up-

Armchair Etiquatt*.
Tbe question of an armchair was
once a matter of high state In the for-
tunes of Prussia. This was In the
year 1690. when the Elector Frederick
on visiting at The Hague that Prince
of Orange whom his father and he had
been Instrumental In raising to the dig-
nity of king as William III. of Eng-
land was Informed that during the In-
terview the king would be seated on
an armchair of atate. while he (tbe
elector) would be accommodated with
an ordinary settle or stool. In great
dudgeon (as Mr. Brayley Hodgetts re-
calls In "The House of Hohenzollern")
the elector rejoined that If he was not
worthy of an armchair his troops had
at least been thought good enough to
assist the Prince of Orange to mount
the royal throne of England Finally
a compromise was effected, and the
two sovereigns conversed with one an-
other standing.
Poorer when employed to relieve the
oppressed and to punish the oppressor
becomes a great blessing.—Swift
Th* 3am* Custom.
A magazine editor at tbe Authors'
clnb. in New York, was talking about
H. G. Wells. "Wells Is now the fore-
most English novelist." be said
"Strange that a man so talented should
misjudge us as he does. When he
was orer here he found fault with
everything. One day at lunch, getting
tired of bis attacks on the tyranny of
our trusts, and gor bosses, I said:
"tffell. aT least Mr. wells, you must
admit the grandeur of the magnificent
statue of Liberty that rears Its proud
bead over our harbor?'
" 'Ob, yes,' said Mr. Wells, 'you
have the same custom as we—you rear
your finest statues to the dead.' " ,

An Essay on Woman.
A woman Is sometimes fugitive. Ir-
rational, Indeterminable, Illogical and
contradictory. A good deal of for
bearance ought to b^ shown her and a
good deal of prudence exercised with
regard to her, foe she may bring
about Innumerable evils without know-
ing It Capable of all kinds of devo-
tion and of all kinds of treason,
"monster Incomprehensible." raised to
the second power, she Is at once the
delight and tbe terror of man.—Amiel.

my might so that the neighbors may
think her voice is cracked—Fliegende
