MUSTN’T EVEN MENTION IT
One of the laBt requests shall we
call it, or was it a command, of
Sheriff Lew Wilder to Luther Huff
as he bid him goodbye at the Jail
door yesterday was, -Never mention
the city or county officials again.”
It's a good thing the command or
request, did not forbid thinking about
them also or Luther would surely
blowup.

"ANSWER DAY”
This thought is recorded at an
hour too early to refer except to the
fact that this is "answer day" in dis-
trict court for a number of men and
institutions charged with being law
infractionists and law infractions.
The act is not unlike the scene
which marks the end and summing
up. of earthly existence when we
must come to "answer day" and ren-
der an accounting of the deeds done
in the body. It is an enviable person
who can approach this day with a
clean slate.

STUPEFACTION OF THE FULL
MEAL
Ever contemplate the dormant con-
dition of the fellow who sits down
to the full meal without taking into
consideration the labor and sacrifice
of the some one who has provided
it? Some such sense as this comes
by the pupils of all the schools of
that amazing and dazzling delight to
the eye and appeal to rythmic beau-
ty, the May Day festivity staged at
the high school grounds yesterday
to the pupils of all the scholos of
the city, without stopping to consid-
er the vast amount of labor and
patience expended by performer and
instructor in preparation for the
event. Certain it is that each did his
part to perfection and it will be
many a day before the pleasure lov-
ing public of Sapulpa will witness
another eight so satisfying, or in
which they will feel as much local
pride.
RETURNING TO QUIETUDE
On the train the other day was
ope Smith, former citizen of Sapul j
pa, later of Little Hock, and still lat-
er of Oiltou. This particular Smith
belonged to that fruitful, prolific class
so loved and adored by the officials
of Creek and the city of Sapulpa,
namely, gamblers. But that was not
why Smith was on a train going from
Oilton back to Little Rock.
Any of you fellows ever hear of
Little Rock—in some particular par-
ticulars? If you have you can ap-
I preciate the humor of this particular
Smith returning from Oilton, Okla.,
to Little Rock, Ark., for quietude.
Little Rock has been noted as the
Monte Carlo of America and no one
has been known to leave there be-
cause sports were lonesome, but the
particular Smith was going oack.
He told why—
Business (in his line) overdone at
Oilton,' and then, -'had to split what
he did make six ways."
Get that?
Had to split it six ways. Count
’em on your fingers. Have to call in
the reserve hand you see. It goes to
confinn .what the Herald has been
telling the world—crime is running
rampant at Oilton and in other sec-
tidns of Creek county under official
protection for what officials are get-
ting out of it.
4s there anything to be done about
it, men?
-oOo-
The world is surely sitting up to-
day and taking note of the fact that
a war, a terrible war is on in Eur-
ope and lives are being wantonly and
as needlessly as they ate In such
times. In the name of humanity
there ought to be a way to stop this
high handed slaughter on laud and
sea.
--oOo-
People who saw City Chemist
Frampton about the streets last ev-
ening thought for a time that he
had either been defending the Her-
ald’s policy or taking in the war of
the allies and others. Neither. He
had seen an opoprtunity and grab-
bed it. Having orders in for a lot of
dehorning (not the band, cows) he
enlisted a couple of husky cow
punchers at present making Sapulpa
their home and by their aid relieved
the bovines of much ot their native
glory. His bespattered shirt front
was one of the results.

JESS WILLARD FEARS GOD
BUT HE FEARS NO MAN
Billy Sunday recently wrote to
Jess Willard, asking him: ‘-Were yau
at any time an aid or ihe block man?'
1 mean, had you any apprehension
regarding your fate in meeting him?”
Willard got the letter In Omahi and
pondered over It. ATler reading it h.-
placed it in his pocket when to the
theatre where he was exhibiting and
gave the performance. That night
when Tom JonW- went to Willard's
room he found Jess in a deep stud},
writing a letter.
“•What’s the matter, big fellow?"
asked Jones. “You seem to be in
some sort of trouble—who are you
writing to?”
Jess loked up in a curious way.
‘‘I’m writing to Billy Sunday, Tom,”
he said. -'Billy wrote me today and
put a funny question to me; he
questioned my gameness In a sort of
indirect way.”
•Well, what about it?" retorted
Jones.
“Oh, nothing,' came back Jess. I'm
just answering his question."
Jones’ cruiosity had now been
aroused, he was anxious to learn
just what Jess had written in reply
so he picked up the letter and It read
as follows:
My Dear Uncle Billy—1 reply to
yours of April 16 wll say that 1 fear
God, but no man. I had no fear what-
ever when 1 entered the ring against
Johnson because I had faith in my-
self I knew l could defeat him or any
other man.
I make my livelihood my testing
my skill, endurance, strength and
stamina against any one who cares
to oppose me, and in doing so, kind-
ly remember that never do I bear a
grain of malice toward any man I
meet in the ring. The mistaken idea
that pugilism furnished an avenue
by which men vent their spleen and
hate toward another is wrong. Pug-
ilism furnishes the opportunity by
which the survival of the fittest may
be found and designated to the bal-
ance of the world. So that all may
gaze upon God's masterpiece—man.
The next time I fight for the
championship 1 want you to be pres-
ent as my guest and the best ring-
side seat available will be at your
command. With ■ all good wishes to
you and yours, I am, yours truly,
JESS WILLARD.
Best Color for Legibility Has
Been a Much-Discussed
Matter.
RESULTS OF RECENT TESTS
Black on a Yellow Background Seema
to Give the Moat Satisfaction-
Some Combinations That Have
Been Chosen by> the
Various StatVs.
The problem of legibility of num-
ber plates which are being issued dur-
ing the present month to tnotor car
owners in nearly all the states is one
that has periodically agitated the li-
cense officials for some time past,
writes Francis M. Hugo, secretary of
the state of New York Recently ex-
periments were conducted to deter-
mine the most conspicuous color com-
minatlon for both plate and number,
which the laws in most common-
wealths require to be distinctly differ-
ent each year and of marked con
trast at all times.
The results of these tests have dem-
onstrated that the most legible color
scheme to be adopted on number
plates is black upon a yellow back-
ground, with white upon green as
next choice. For the current year
the former has been selected in No#
York and Oregon, Connecticut prefer-
ring yellow numerals ujiou a black
background, but reversing this for
commercial cars. Similar combina-
tions were adopted in Iowa, where
number plates have been Issued bear-
ing black figures upon a canary yel-
low surface.
The license officials In these states
have chosen the latter combination,
New Hampshire adopting green flg-
ures on white, Indiana selecting green
on pink, while New Jersey has blend-
ed white figures on a dark green
background. In North Dakota black
numbers appear on turquoise green
Ohio and Rhode Island have decided
upon white background with black
letters and figures, Wisconsin and Wy-
oming selected the reverse—white on
black background.
Blue still remains a popular color,
being used in four states, Kansas
Michigan, Maryland and Massachu-
setts, each selecting white upon a
blue background, while a turquoise
blue background with white numerals
Is the choice of Pennsylvania. In
Kentucky and Idaho the plates bear
red numerals embossed upon white,
the exact opposite being chosen in
New Mexico. Mississippi has issued
aluminum tags with black embossed
figures, while Washington has light-
colored numbers in a dark back-
ground.
The American Legion
The American Legion Is an organ-
ization trying to get into communci-
cation with enlist the help of and
secure the co-operation of those men
scattered throughout the country who
would come to the defense of their
country in the case of war. It is a
movement which deserves the success
with which it has met, because, in
case of war, it could be of the great-
est assistance. Men who have had
training in the regular army, in the
states’ militia or in civil life, regis-
tered and kept In communication
with each other. The American Le-
gion is simply an organization that
will assist the government in case
of need. It asks neither state nor na-
tional aid, financially or otherwise.
Rejuvenating Inner Tube*.
If inner tubes that have grown
stiff or hard by being kept too long
In storage are placed In a bath of one
part concentrated ammonia and two
parts of water they will regain their
elasticity. This, however, applies only
to such tubes as have been kept In
dark rooms, and not to such as have
lost their resiliency through heat or
sunlight
Needs Careful Driving.
It Is well to remember that a car
with great weight and a long wheel-
base requires much strength, Judg-
ment, and carelessness to drive It safe-
ly. Its great momentum when In mo-
tion calls for foresight; its weight
makes It needful to keep out of soft
places and deep ruts
Chicago, May 8.—The health de-
partment has Just discovered the
source of the great quantities o 1
dust which in spite of the clean
streets, fill the air on windy days.
From the roofs of three downtown
buildings fourteen wagon loads of
dirt and rubbish—more than was
swept from four and one half miles
of streets—were removed one day
last week. Hereafter the roofs ol all
buildings must be kept clean.
