We acknowledge receipt of V. II

While you are trudging along doing
iibont the best you can suppose you
try shopping a. little more during the
morning hours. The clerks are idle
then they arc- fresh and eager to
serve you. In the afternoons every-
body conies lo trade. The clerk Is
overworked he has less time to as-
sist you and your purchases are a
little less satisfactory. Besides there
is a humane principle hack of shop-
piiiK In tlie morning hours. Try it
for a week and note (he difference.

William A. Durant has given his
services to Oklahoma since state-
hood for the sum of $isn a year Is
now receiving $:(()) a month for a
limited time and there are some who
object. Out of tills salary he must
pay his expenses and any man who
knows what it costs to be on the
road will know that the pay is not
exorbitant. Hill Durant is worth the
money and Coventor Williams says
the constitution has not been violated
and we are willing to take his word
on constitutional uestions.

The llusonian of Hugo gathers an
important advertising lesson out of
the sinking of (he l.usitania. The
editor concludes that people front this

out the threat.
O
A new fountain is being installed
in Vinita. and Tlis Leader wants It
named In honor of Elbert llubb.ud.
If that is done. Vinita should be moiv
iittriitivc to it than Ardmore has
been to its Francos Willard m Miior-
ial at the corner of Main and Wash-
ington. O
Someone in McAlester evidently
wants .1. Hoy Williams of the News-
Capital to clean out the joints and de-
populate the city of a certain class
of its female citizenship. He grace-
fully declines to do the work assigned
by law to the police.

"Not on the program stuff" in

CHRISTIAN KILLERS
Sonie of -Jhe current numbers of
tin- magazines carry fiery comments
en the massacre of Christians by the
Kurds and Turks. Hut what is the
matter with the massacre of Chris-
tians by Chri.-tiausV Beaumont Jour-
nal. All the Christians ever Wlkd by
heathens would not be a corporal'
guard in comparison with the vast
army of Christians whom other (Chris-
tians have struck down. And when
the heat hen tell the missionaries
these things it requires considerable
niissioniiruil agimy to ne huh- iu
respond convincingly. It does it

Radium Used to Promote Plant
Growth
Some of the remarkable propeitles
of radium are being demuustruted oy
an exhibitor in tlie Liberal Arts build
mg at tlio Panama Pacific Internation
al Exposition San Francisco in cou
nection with a new invention making
possible the radiofylng of water lor
medicinal purposes.
Demonstrating the power of this
mineral promoting metabolism a num
ber of young plants some existing
with and some without the aid of ra
dium are shown. Those in the raaio-1
active soils are seen lo do growing
much more rapidly than those in com-
mon soil and to have a more healthy i
uppeurance.
Jills inveulor has lound a process
of Impregnating terra cotta bricks
with radium bearing minerals und
these small bricks placed in water are
said to give it remarkable curative
properties. The porous tfricka last al-1
nipst indefinitely losing only half their
potency it is estimated. In 1 .S00 years.
Since the discovery of this mineral it I
hag been found that many celebrated j
waters as Carlsbad and Haden Ilailen
owe their health giving properties to ra
dium. The Inventor claims that his j
process produces in ordinary waters
the qualities of these famous springs.
The radium ore used in the manu-
facture of radioactive terra cotta
is known as carnotite a formation
found mainly in Colorado and Utah
and now producing three-fourths of
the world's radium. The European
mineral known as pitchblende from
which the famous Kuropeati springs
are impregnated is also displayed
Most Rapid Photographs Ever Taken.
The most remarkable set of speed
photographs ever taken are a part of
tlio war depart mont's exhibit in Ma
chinery Hall at the Panama-Pacific In-
ternational Imposition San Francisco.
I'hcy are pictures of u shell from a 12-
ineh coast defense gun in Might the
set including the various phases ot
the (light beginning lust as the great
projectile pokes its nose out of the
muzzle of the gun.
The pictures were taken with a
leng having an exposure period of
me live-thousandth of a second tnis
being the fastest shutter ever iiianu-
actured. The exposure at the proper
ini In the llight of the projectile
was made by breaking an electric cir-
uit iu a wire stretched across the
rajectory at the dexired point and
oimccting with the shutter.
One picture shows the shell half
way out of the muzzle before any
moko and gas has escaped. Another
was taken when the shell was two
eet from tho muzzle but hidden by a
icavy ring of smoke. A third shows
he shell in (light u hundred feet from
ho muzzle. Tho photographs are so
lerfect and the exposure so rapid that
( aroely any blur is perceptible. They

SCHOOL LID
TRANSFERS
IDE FILED
PURCHASERS CAN SELL LAND TO
OTHERS UNDER NEW LAW
CLAIMED THAT STATE WILL
PROFIT THEREBY.
Oklahoma City May 10. Trans
fers of school land in the counties
of the Oklahoma Panhandle are bein
tiled in the office of the board of
school land commissioners in large
numbers. These transfers are to sev-
eral' large cattlemen who have been
leasing the school lands both before
the sales of last year and the pre
ceding year and since. The lands
are considered ot value only for pas
ture. The laws have heretofore re-
stricted purchasers to a maximum of
two sections and forbidden transfer
of parcels purchased until payments
lo the state had all been made. Tht
(.. legislature changed this to
permit transfers subject to approval
by the school land commissioners.
When the sales were made of lands
'
in
Cimarron Beaver and Texas
counties the large pastures were
bought up in many instances by the
lessees of the area nude;- powers of
attorney from friends and acquaint-
ances. The passage of the law in
question has made it possible for
the lessees to acquire the rights of
the purchasers by transfers of sale
certificates. If the law had not been
changed it is assumed that the pur
chases made in the names ef friends
bv parties at interest would have
been allowed to lapse so that leases
might be made again from the school
land office.
It is pointed out that the state
will profit by the sale and transfer
to the cattlemen in that the lease
ligure was an average of !c an acre
a year whereas the interest on pay
ments amount to 21c an acre a year
I'.y the cattlemen acquiring1 title to
la rise bodies of this land the use
of the country by live stock inter
ests is assured whereas if the titles
had to be reverted to the state for
non-payment the state would have
been compelled again to sell the
land and attempts at farming -would
have broken up the big pastures
that are alleged to be good onlv for
pasture.
The filing of these transters is
taken to be pretty good evidence that
the sales as made were more or less
tentative and that the object of pur
chasing on powers of attorney was
to secure the lands as has been done.
One large stockman recently regis-
tered in the land office transfers of
all the certificates which he secured
bidding with powers of attorney save
one. In that case the purchaser
named in the power of attorney is
dead.

IN EVENT CF WAR THE UNITED
STATES COULD APPROPRIATE
MANY GERMAN SHIPS VALUED
AT $ I 00000000.
New York May 16. That Uncle
Sam in the event of war with the Kai
ser would find himself in a position
to seize $10()0(HIUOO worth of German
and Austrian steamers is shown at a
glance at the list of vessels interned
iu American ports.
These ships include the flower of
Cermany's transatlantic liners the
floating hotels that a year ago were
carrying the cream of the European
traffic. A dozen of them are first-
class passenger liners and all except
a few of those of Austrian register are
in comparatively good condition.
Many estimates place the value of
Austro-Cernian ships lying in our ports
at well over $100000000 but conser-
vative steamship men consider the lat-
ter figure approximately correct.
The finest of t lie interned vessels
are tied up in the port of New York
and at Liostoa.
Largest Ship in World Interned.
The Vaterland of the Hamburg-
American line the largest vessel in
the world is lying at the Hamburg-
American docks in Hoboken having
made only two and a-half trips across
the Atlantic. She was on her second
visit to this country when the war in-
terrupted her career. This giant of
the seas heads the list of marine war
prizes to which I'ncle Sam might fall
heir. She is 950 feet long registers
5il0(io tons and is valued by her own-
ers at $12000000.
According to one of the crew the
Vaterland has been burning fifty tons
of coal a day. during the time she has
been interned and is in line condition
notwithstanding the long period of
idleness. It has been estimated the
Vaterland could carry 10000 troops.
Hesides the Vaterland we have at
Huston the Knm Princessin Cccilie.
queen of the North German Lloyd
fleet. Among American tourists the
Cecilie was probably the most popular
German liner.
The Hamburg-American Line has
thirteen vessels interned one being at
Huston and twelve here. Next to the
Vaterland. the Ainerika at Boston is
the most valuable the rest of the fleet
being first and second-class passenger
carriers and freighters. Among the
freighters are some of the greatest
cargo-carriers In the world.
Six of North German Lloyd Interned
The North German Lloyd has six
liners in American ports all but one of
them having been recently used as
lirst-class passenger ships. lied up
at Hoboken piers with the Kaiser VU
helm II. are the following Lloyd ships
Friedrich der Grosse Konig Wilhelm
II the Princess Irene and the Grosser
Kurfursl.
There are also four Austro-Ameri-can
Line vessels in this port two of
them having been engaged in passen-
ger traffic between here and Triest
before hostilities began.
The total number of interned vessels
in the port of New York include four
Austrian and twenty-six German
steamers and one German motor ship
one German ship and one German
bark.
