MELON PROBLEM SOLVED
First Planting is Saved From Pests
Says Joe Miller
Ponca City.—To out-maneuver bugs,
worms and other pests, that destroy
watermelon vines, and grow a crop
which will produce a profitable in-
come is one of the problems that con-
fronts growers in this section of Ok-
lahoma annually.
As soon as young vines get tlirougn
the ground they are attacked by an
Insect that destroys them. In this
manner an entire crop of 200 acres,
planted this spring near lted Rock
and many smaller tracts throughout
this district was destroyed.
The Millers save their crop by
planting the seed three times. The
first planting is through the soil with
the loaves large enough tor plunder-
ing by the pests when the second
planting is made along side the first
hills. When this comes through the
Boil, tha third planting is made in
the same manner. When the second
planting appears, the bugs leave the
first for the second, and when the
third appears they move again. The
first planting has recovered from th«
attack and aided by rains of this time
of year, become strong and the
foliage gets so tough that the bugs
do no harm. The second and third
plantings almost are destroyed.

HOT WEATHER
Hits the Stomaci Hardest
Chicago, 111.—Hot weather upsets
the strongest stomach and causes seri-
ous trouble for the weak ones, so word
is now going out to thousands of
eatonic users that they should, dur-
ing this hot weather, be on the safe
side and take one eatonic tablet
about half an hour before meals, as
well as after eating. Do this and
keep the excess acids and poisonous
gases from forming in stomach and
bowels. Eatonic acts quickly; it will
help the appetite and take away the
hot-weather, feverish, thirsty feeling
from mouth and stomach, because it
takes up the excess acids, poisons and
gases and carries them out of the
body and, of course, when the cause
of the trouble Is removed, there can
be no bad feeling. Eatonic is like
a bit of candy, and Is recommended to
all as a safe, sure remedy these hot
days for stomach and bodllyatroubles,
caused from overeating and drinking
cold things. Adv.

FEW CALL FOR MEDALS
Oklahoma City Recruiting Officer
Seeks To Arouse Interest.
Muskogee.—Are you one of the
80,000 OKIaliomans entitled to wear a
victory medal?
The emblems of participation in the
recent war are being distributed
throughout the state through the
American legion and the Red Cross.
Only a small percentage of the thou-
sands of former service men, nurses
and others who assisted in winning
the war have made application for
these medals, says Captain H. C.
Lutz, of the Fourteenth cavalry, who
was in Muskogee to arouse interest
in distributing the badges.
Captain Lutz is in charge of the
army recruiting office at Oklahoma
City, but the recruiting offices are not
empowered to send in applications.
All those entitled to the awards
should make application at once
through the Red Cross offices in the
Equity building or through the offi-
cers of the Legion, he says.
The medals are about as big as a
dollar. They are suspended from the
neck by a silk ribbon, on which are
clasps denoting the number of battles
in which each wearer has served.

Wewoka.-—Tearing a hale through
the breast of James Patterson, 12
years old, son of one of the most wide-
ly known Wewoka merchants, a
charge from a shotgun in the hands
of his companion, Paul Casey, 11 years
old, son of W. E. Casey, county as-
sessor, instantly killed the boy while
the two were returning from a hunt-
ing trip near here.
The two boys had been playiBj
with the guns, after taking out the
cartridges, while on their way home,
young Casey says, by snapping them
at each other. The guns were later
exchanged, after the Patterson boy
had put a shell in his shotgun. The
Casey boy, not realizing that the gun
was loaded, again began the mimicry,
and pointing the gun at his compan-
ion, pulled the trigger.

MAN IS SHOT AT 101 RANCH
Sheriff Fires at Alleged Prowler.
In Dark
Ponca City.—R. L. lirooks, aged
62, who says his home is at Stratford,
Okla., was shot and fatally wounded
at the 101 ranch by Dan Bain, sheriff
of Kay county.
Crooks was found in an automobile
near the ranch stables. Not giving
a good account of himself, Bain was
called. He ordered Brooks lo put up
his hands. Instead Brooks reached
under the seat presumably for a gun
and the sheriff fired.
Sidewalk Bricks Complete Building
Norman.—"Tear up that side walk
and use the bricks to complete the
rear wall"—Buch were the instruc-
tions issued by a local contractor to
one of his foremen recently. The
walls of the new business house were
practically completed, with the excep-
tion of the rear wall and the contrac-
tor was anxious to start plastering
the Inside. Brick is unusually scarce
in the I'niversity City this summer
because of the million and a half dol-
lar building campaign now under way.
GROUPTHRESHING POPULAR
New Method Proves Success and
Takes Place Of Old.
Chickasha.—Community threshing
in Oklahoma has succeeded over the
old method and is proving a success,
according to C. W. Callarman, district
agricultural agent, working in connec-
tion with the extension department of
the Oklahoma A. and M. college. The
new method not only has become pop-
ular in the twelve counties in western
and southern counties of Oklahoma
served by Callarman, but also through-
out the entire state, the district Aggie
agent says.
Time was when threshing was the
most dreaded period of the year for
the farmers. Weeks of preparation
were necessary before threshing was
started. The housewife was over-
worked, preparing to feed the labor-
ers.
Until recent years, practically all
threshing machines were owned and
operated by individuals. Threshing
was slow and every wheat grower was
forced to wait until the thresher and
crew reached his place, regardless of
the condition of the wheat in the
shock.
Stenos in Demand in St,ate
There is great demand for steno-
graphers, waitresses and women dom |
j estics at present, with a very limited
supply to offset, according to Mrs. M.
, J. Williams, superintendent of the wo-
men's division of the federal state em-
ployment bureau. Negro help Is ab-
undant, with few calls coming In. j
"Most women do not know that wo
fill stenographic and clerical positions j
through this office, and applications ]
for this class of work are few," Mrs.
Williams said. However, many school j
girls with no experience apply."
Eighty applications for help were re
ceived last week and seventy of these
were filled.
Asked to Send Books to Orphanage
Club women of the state were ap-
pealed to by TT. S. Russell, secretary,
of the state board of public affairs,
for picture and story books suitable
for children at the state orphanage at
Helena. Russell and J. W. Kayser
have just returned from Helena where
they inspected the institution and
found the children in need of books
of that sort. They found one crippled
boy there who roust be carried ab *t
everywhere he goes. The svaib runds
available are not enough to buy Mm
a wheel chair. Russell will make an
effort to find some person or organiza-
tion who will provide a chair.
SAYS HE KILLED BROTHER
Sayre Man May Plead Self Defense in
Fight With Brother.
Sayre.—At the solicitation of a cou-
sin from Mangum John Seivers, who
has been hiding in Delhi brakes, 16
miles southwest of here since the kill-
ing of his brother, George Seivers fol-
lowing a quarrel over a setting of
eggs, gave himself up to the Greer
county sheriff and was placed in jail.
Seivers had started to Sayre after
the killing to give himself up, he said,
but changed his mind and hid in the
brakes. Charges of murder have been
filed.
It was considered possible that the
man may be able to prove self defense
in the killing, since he is badly bruised
and has a serious injury to his hip,
which he alleges his brother inflicted
with stones.
Health Agencies Plan Conference
A state public health conference
111 be held here October 12 and IS

A. R. Lewis, state health commission-
er, announced. Plans for the confer-
ence are being made by Dr. Lewis
and Jules Schevitz, general secretary
| of the Oklahoma Tuberculosis asso-
ciation. Robert E. Bondy. acting
i manager of the southwestern division
of the Bed Cross, is expected to visit
Dr. Lewis Saturday, August fi, to dis-
cuss extension of Red Cross activity
here. They will make plans for the
health conference at the same time.
Hearing Asked For Grain Rates

Indians To Have Green Corn Dance
Kendrick.—With plenty of roasting
ears, old members of the Sac and Fox
tribes are making preparations for
holding their annual green corn dance.
The dance will be held on the Billy
Greyeye farm and will last three days.
The green corn dance is held when
thanks are given to the Great Father
for a plentiful yield. Komahtokemah
will be master of ceremonies, and
says that with the exception of those
who have passed to the happy hunt-
ing ground, every old member of the
tribe will be present.
Sanitarium Gets Sells' Approval
Cato Sells, federal commissioner of
Indian affairs, has withdrawn his ob-
jections to the UBe of Indian land near
Talihina by the state for a tuberculo-
sis sanitarium, according to a letter
received by Dr. A. R. Lewis, state
health commissioner, from J. H. Cra-
this of Talihinr. Opposition by Sells
has prevented the state's acquisition
of the land so far, Dr. Lewis said
It is expected the transfer of land
will be made soon after the meeting
of congress in December.

BOUND TO DELIVER SPEECH I WAS ALSO A VEGETARIAN
Guest at Banquet Must Have Some-
what Astonished the Rest of
the Gathering.
There was to be a banquet at an
Indianapolis church nnil one of the
parishioners felt sure that lie would |
be called on for a speech. Realizing
how poor he was at Impromptu
speeches tie accordingly made ready
for tills occasion by writing one and
then memorizing it.
The night of the banquet came and
after rehearsing his speech to his
proud wife the parishioner went to
church, elated over his forethought.
The crowd assembled and gathered
around the table. And then—then the
minister called on the parishioner to
say "grace."
For a minute he was appalled—also
his wife. But bravely he rallied and
began to compose a grace. He gave
one sentence, hesitated and then to
his wife's horror plunged into the
middle of his speech. He finished It,
too. Of course every one was amazed,
his wife most of all, for you see he
even used Ills practiced gestures.

At Any Rate, George Bernard Shav/ i
Guest Showed Little Desire
for Meat Dishes.
"George Bernard Shaw has been n
vegetarian for HO years," said an edi-
tor. "Shaw told me a vegetarian story
the last time I visited him in Ixmdon.
"He said he was walking In the
Strand one day when a beggar held
him up and asked for a little money
to buy food, claiming he had eaten
nothing for 48 hours. Shaw gave him
a note to Frascatl's for a full meal,
and stopped In there the next day to
pay the bill.
" 'I sent a poor beggar here yes-
terday,' he said. 'What do 1 owe you?"
" 'Seventeen and'six, Mr. Shaw,' said
the manager with a smile.
"'Seventeen and six, eli? And what
were the Items?'
" 'Eight beers," said the manager,
'three whlskys, a pint of port, four
cigars and a package of Virginia
cigarettes. A true vegetarian like
yourself, sir.'"—London Tit-Blis.

"How Is the new policeman getting

"Oh, lie does very well at a pinch."
