! Saturday's meet ing of the
Farmer's Institute is the l'irst on<
Hartshorne lias had the honor of
{entertaining. anil every citizen
should I.-nd every effort to inak.
'the day a success. Th AC institu-
tes which arc held at various
points jn the county each month
aid much in raising the standard
'! tli' farmiug industry, as well
as bringing numbers of people
from all over the county to the
place of meeting. Th« Sun hope-
that Hartshorne will have tin
honor to act as host to this hod\
many more times in the not far
distmit future.
rile selection ot A. I'.. .MiN'cii
11 fill tin vacancy in the council
iscd hy the death of Alderman
II lilies, is a (food one. .Mr. Mc-
v il was a nii-mber <>t the last
' iii<-il. and is therefore familiar
i, • requiring the attention ot the
,\ at tins time. In addition to
v Mr. McNeil is a pregrcssive
i. en and business man. and is
•ne for these reasons alone, well
; .ified to tin- jiosition to which
, lias been appointed.
The cit\ council at last Mon-
day night s session, ordered that
the police committee select a
n gilt policeman whose duty it
will be to patrol the business dis-
trict and protect the same from
a recurrence of the many robber-
i s that have been happening! re-
■ ently. This i-> a wise move and
The Sun hopes the man appoint-
ed will not only keep on the
lookout for burglars, but keep
one eve open for other violations
of the law as well.
The Age of Aviation.
S ar -cly a Week passes on but
tie aviators perform unheard-of
feats and break all records of th<
w-'-k* before, and this with ma-
chines that have only I fairly
tested for a few days, and in de
I- >nstration of principles tha'
have been gnized as correct
for less than twelve months' time.
The oftipioted examples of Pul-
ton with his steamb".it and St'-
phenson with Ins locomotive, and
the clouds of doubters, jeerer-
and scoffers who made light of
those inventions, revolutionary in
their nature, changing the entire
conditions of life and its affairs
upon the globe, are altogether
applicable to the science reduced
to practice in the art of aviation.
The Wrights. Zeppelins anad
Dumonts have had their doubt-
ers. jeerers and scoffers. but.
like Fulton and Stephenson. Un-
assembled thousands on tin var-
ious continents behold them in
actual performance of their pro-
mises.
It was- fifty years after < J -orge
Stephenson! drew trains of ears
I until George Westinghouse <!•-
I monstrated a safe way to stop
! them, ev en under the most rafad
motion, [i is now amply proved
that the air can be navigated,
and the ships of the air can be
steered and directed with pre-
j eisioll.
The next step s for some West-
inghouse to invent the method to
st..p their sudden descent: under
the worst of circumstances, and
in '-a.si ac ident >ave those
who euihark upon them from in-
jury. That this will be done in
dtle time II'-'il not be doubted,
and 1 ii"ti t i- accomplished tin*
airships will be as numerous as
the automobil'-s of to-day and
fully as popular.

Hut : ft *■ n y u-s have passed
by since the people began to take
notice that automobiles have been
made a success, and yet beli'dd

bined.—( incinnati Enquirer.

Baptist Church Notes.
Patronize State Banks
There are two reasons why Oklahomans
should do business with State Banks
FIR ST—Because a land owner can use his land
as a basis ot security and back his money
wants with a low rate of interest.
SECOND—Because the Oklahoma laws protect the
depositer b\ a guarantee which husbands
his money while on deposit and makes
the banks contribute to a fund out ot
which, in case of failure, he is to be paid.

ing put up this week between Mc-

much better and quicker service
between thesi) two points. The

prevail." Prove it Yourself—It is
guaranteed absolutely to cure.
Coming Next Week.
In these days of melodrama
with its many ihrills and farce
iiedy. vaudeville with its froth,
and musical comedy, it is refresh-
ing to see a literary dramatiza-
tion looming up for the edifica-
tion of those who crave some-
thing substantial. Lovers of the
higher class drama will be pleas-
ed to hear of the engagement
here of the famous emotional ac-
tress, Miss Courtcnay Morgan, in
Sarah Brenha'rdt's famous play
"A Woman of Mystery" on Wed-
nesday Nov. ;J, at Hartshorne
Opera house.
A feast for the eye. heart and
brain is this sumptuous revival
of the story of an erring woman.
Told with all the graceful finesse
of the French. Portrayed
by an actress of sterling worth,
good broad American sense and
withal a woman. Gorgeous cos-
tumes in keeping with the upper
tendon the Parisian aristocracy
of the 17th century are worn.
'A Woman of Mystery" will
surely prove to be one of the
magnets of the present theatrical
season.
Engineers Here.
Vice-President Serwinsky in-
forms us that the engineers in
charge of the construction work
of the new spur to the cement
plant, are here, and are setting
the stakes this week. The con-
struction gang is expected to be
here within the next week or ten
davs.
SULPHUR SPRINGS
(Delayed from last week.)
Considerable interest is be-
:ng displayed in our community
over the popular girl contest.
There are severah contestants
from various places, however we
expect our community to win
out in the end. Several of the
sages of our surrounding have
been bunting, and it is reported
that they have caught several
opossums, rabbits, squirrels etc.
| Our school is continually increas-
j ing in number, the average at-
j tendance the first week was
I about fifty.
-Mr. Christian, the County Sup-
erintendent^ of public instruction
visited our school a moment last
week. He delivered a very in-
teresting lecture to the students
and patrons at the school house
Tuesday night.
.Mr. Ballard also visited our
school last week, in interest of
the citizens children, lie promised
to financially aid the school.
.Miss Deane Carpenter is at
Hartshorne spending a few days.
Good nurses are scarce.
On account of unavoidable de-
lay we will prolong the work to
build our new school house until
spring: this will be a consider-
able disappointment, the old
house is in sad repair. However,
the directors and patrons have ar-
ranged to meet and fix the old
house.
