when the bird Is (lying The only
way to know a warbler Is to know

change as fast as the Paris fashions
Of the wood warbler there are ISO va-

the district between Argentina and
Labrador In North America there are
Sf varieties Here they reach thelt
greatest numerical strength They
fly at night and often take a 600 mile

Terrible Conditions at Granite
As one rotten potato can contaml
nuts a whnlo burrelful so with the
poor fucllltloe they have to work with
crime and the lowest forms of vice
are dlHaemlnnted through the reform-
atory at Granite This was the state-
ment of F M Murray a guurd of the
lnstltutn before the Investigation
hearing conducted by the ofilce of the
commissioner of charities and correc-
tions Mr Murray declured that If the
authorities of the Institution could
send to McAlester the worst of the
prisoners that the abuses scalnat na-
ture and the depraved condition that
exists would be materially lessened
lie said the building prohibited any
Idea of segregation and that cells
would be of no material value In
checking the l-vlle but that It was
necessary to either transport or to
separate from the other Inmates the
forty or more hardened criminals to
bring -the relief that was so much
needed He declared that sodomy
was carried on In the Institution and
that the guards had sought to break
up the practices but they had diffi-
culty In apprehending the prisoners In
the act or suspecting who were the
guilty ones
When asked if he considered Ward-
en Reed a man qualified for the posi-
tion the witness stated that Mr Reed
waa a business man and attended to
the business end of the Institution
He said he turned over to Deputy
Warden Hackett the management of
the prisoners and the guards al
though he considered the cases of cub
prits when they were brought before
him The witness said he had never
seen the warden or assistant warden
drunk although he had seen the ward-
en after he had been drinking He
said Mr Hackett never drank so far
as he knew s'
Testimony of Love
Johnny Love of Sharon formerly
connected with the institution as a
guard declared that he bad been
drunk on several occasions while on
duty and that he had seen Warden
Reed when he looked like he had “a
Jag on” Hackett he declared was a
profane man and a partial man The
witness stated that he had heard the
rumors that sodomy was practiced but
that he did not know this for certain
He said under the circumstances It
would be difficult to stop such a prac-
tice In the buildings that were occupied
Effort Made to Oust Lon Frame
Professor Allen Hoben of the prac-
tical theology department of the Uni-
versity of Chicago told an audience in
that city that if the average boy of the
elumi when eighteen years of age de-
cides to pay back his parents what It
has cost them to bring him up he will
find himself In debt $4000 He went
on to calculate that Bons of wealthy
parents cost much more — In some in-
stances as high as $100000 If a clev-
er business man could arrange to buy
some of those Chicago boys at what
they are really worth and sell them
on the basis of Professor Hoben’s cal-
culations as to their cost price he
would make enough money to live at
Palm Beach every winter and at New-
port every summer for the rest of his
life
The cockroach always haB been an
object of detestation to housewives
Now that physicians are Indicting the

Acting for the state Attorney Gen-
eral West filed In the supreme court
quo warranto proceedings against Lon
M Frame alleging that he is unlaw-
fully holding office as a member of
the state board of affairs The peti-
tion sets forth that the appointment
of Frame had not been confirmed by
the senate and that he is without
legal right to the position Frame was
given until May 6 to “show cause If
he has any why the court should not
make an order to oust him”
The taking of! the case to he su-
preme court followed the action of
Judge George W Clark in the district
court in overruling the writ of man-
damus brought by Frame to compel
State Auditor J C McClelland to al-
low his salary claim as a member of
the board of affairs The decision in
the lower court was handed down on
April 19 when Judge Clark held (that
the proper mode of procedure to de-
termine whether Frame is acing with-
ing the law by remaining on the board
is through' quo warranto proceedings
Cruce Approve School Measures
Contrary to expectation tho fifteen
chool measures carrying appropria-
tions of approximately $700000 were
approved by Governor Cruce U I
understood however that although
the governor Is opposed to the num-
ber of school! in the state he felt that
no harm would be done by approving
the bills as ho bad been assured a
referendum to abolish certain of the
scholastic Institutions would bo re-
ferred to tho people In Auguet
The total appropriation smountf to
$379000 with the university and thq
A & M college not yet completed
With all of the schools included It Is
said that the state will have to pay
upwards of a million and a half for
the maintenance of these Institutions

Eastern people have no adequate
Idea of what Is meant by dry farming
Tbey think some sort of mnglo lurke
In arid soil which makes the seed
germinate and grow Into marvoloue
yields of grain without tho aid of any
moisture Dry farming does not
mean farming with no water but
means tho conservation of the water
In the soil throughout the year Des-
pite the hot winds of summer doep
plowing and constant harrowing after
every rain will retain tho molature
In the soil I heard an apple grower
at a dry farming congress In Chey-
enne tell of an experiment ba made
Ho plowed a unit of ground keeping
the mulch oecure The following year
he again plowed this ground and alio
plowed another unIL He continued
this for ten year eo at the end of that
time he had ten unita plowed and har-
rowed one having been plowed for the
full length of time and one but for one
year He then bored with an earth
auger to find the depth of moisture In
the varloue unite of ground with the
result that In the first year unit there
waa only a trace of molature under the
mulch not enough for farming In the
econd unit there waa a little mola-
ture but hardly enough to maintain a
crop The third year unit bad quite a
little molature and the ten-year unit
bad ten feet of molature Therefore
It can be seen that dry farming !
sometimes uncertain for the first few
yeara and this should be understood
by anyone contemplating ualng that
method It requires some capital
but the well-to-do farmer haa an op-
portunity to make a lot of money
Dry farming grain ripens earlier that
Irrigated land and the dry ' farmer
haa an opportunity to make a lot of
money Dry farming grain rlpena
earlier than Irrigated land and the
dry farmer has not the trouble or ex-
pense of Irrigating '
Some people claim that the summer
fallowing of land la done to hold
enough of the aummer’a molature to
start the crop that falL This la true
but the summer fallowing does more
than thaL It haa been proven time
and again that moisture Is carried over

Official O K On State Secretary
The official O K of the state ex-
aminer and inspector has been placed
on the work of the office of secretary
of state according to the report of
that department which is just com-
pleted No exception is taken by the
examiner and inspector to any of the
records of fees received and disburse-
ments made during the priod from
January 10 1910 to March 31 1913
Th report shows the office to be con-
ducted efficiently and the books to be
in excellent shape
During the period covered by the
report collections have been received
to the amount of $16689334 while
the sum paid intoi the state treasurer
is $16689376 the discrepancy of 42
cents being due to a clerical error
during the last quarter covered by the
report
The amount of fees received in the
office according to the report during
the last quarter shows an increase
over the previous quarters due in a
large measure to the number of new
corporations which are beingfl char-
tered in the state

Plan To Reduce Repassage Vote
The house passed to final roll call
with very little discussion a proposed
amendment to the state constitution
to limit the governor’s veto power
or rather to reduce the legislative
vote necessary to put a bill over the
veto The measure provides that a
majority may pass a non-emergency
measure over the governor’s veto and
a two-thirds vote an emergency meas-
ure In other words the vote neces-
sary to pass a measure shall be suffi-
cient to repass it over the veto
Distribution of Report Stopped
The state board of agriculture is now
at a standstill in the distribution of
its quarterly report which is just off
the press Twenty thousand of the
reports have been printed and already
there has been a call for 50 000 of
them and the department is without
funds to defray the expense of pos-
tage The department regards this
pamphlet as the most comprehensive
work it ever has published in that it
furnishes information on practically
all of the staple crops grown In Okla-
homa treating scientific selection of
seed cultivation and the harvesting
of the crop But the funds of the
department are insufficient to furnish
the material to the wide-awake farm-
ers throughout the state
As yet only 5000 of the reports
have been distributed of the entire
number of 200Q0 which have been
printed and application has been
made for 50000 more It is expected
that the number of calls for the book-
let' will mount up to 100000 but "the
printing fund for this purpose is ex-
hausted D S Woodson superintendent oi
the demonstration farm department
through whose labors the work was
compiled stated that he was in a
quandary as to what method to pur-
sue to get the information to the
farmers He stated that with $1500
appropriation from the legislature
enough books could be printed to fur-
nish the state and that from $700 to
$800 would defray the expense of dis-
tributing them Every mail he said
brought new calls for the report ana
at least two thousand letters were re-
ceived daily
Handling Horses
A safe rule to follow in handling
horses Is never to trust them too
far It is never safe to leave a horse
without tying and It is good practice
to carry a strong rope halter for ty-
ing and using it every time the horse
Is left standing
March chicks make early layers
April hatched pullets will make the
fall layers
One nest to four hens is about the
right proportion
Bran for the whole poultry flock is
always in season 1
Nothing like a warm sun to make
early chicks thrive
Fifty chicks to the common sized
brooder is a safe limit
Sloppy food Is a fruitful source of
bowel trouble in chicks-
Clean surroundings afford the very
best protection against disease
It pays well to know the hens from
which you have yonr eggs for hatch
ing
'I
Keeping something in the grit and
shell lfoppers will mean harder shelled
eggs
All the young chick needs and
should have until 48 hours old is fine
grit and water
Scalding out drinking vessels once
or twice a week is a precaution that
pays well In the end
A dropping board under the roosts
is of little account unless It is often
cleaned off
Why th Spoon Wa Black
The Rev Fred T Paton son of th
famous Dr Paton who la following up
hla father’s work aa missionary to the
New Hebrides possesses a spoon
which is a grewsome relic of the old
cannibal habits of the islanders Th
manner In which the spoon cam into
his possession is Interesting Ha waa
ambushed one day by a tribe of sav-
ages who became exceedingly friendly
on learning that he was unarmed The
chief even told him that he was out
to shoot a few men but as he could
get them when he wanted they could
wait while he entertained his guesL
Before he left that tribe they made
him a pudding' which was thirteen feet
round It was an inch thick at the
side and a foot deep In the middle
the Ingredients consisting of a pig and
some fowls which were covered with
leaves and baked on top and below
with hot stones He was about to be-
gin to eat with a wooden'spoon given
to him when a native told him some-
thing which made him halt This
spoon had been used for eight gene-
rations as the sacred spoon of the
tribe and had figured in all their can-
nibal feasts Once It was white but
human blood grease and dirt had
turned it to the color of ebony
Do you really want to get well ac-
quainted with your friend or your
sweetheart? Then go away for a
while where a correspondence will be-
come necessary There is nothing
like letter writing to bring out many
things that would remain hidden fro ra-
the beloved In ordinary conversation
There may be many things hidden in
your own self that you do not suspect
People who have become thoroughly
familiar with each other sometimes
become lazy about expressing them-
selves when they are together A
few commonplaces a hand-clasp a'
glance — these often suffice But in the
letter one must express himself and
much better and more clearly than
when there is expression of the face
and gesture to assist in an interprets-’
tion You will never really know your
beloved until you have bad opportu-
nity for a long and full correspon-
dence in writing -

Antiquarians In the old country are

belonged to the old English Tudors
The only clue is that exactly a hun-

the Rev Richard Williams Bodafon
Anglesey The bed came into the pos-
session of Mr Williams In the follow-
ing curious fashion: It had been the
property of a farmer for a consider-
able time The farmer had trouble
and got it into his head that the bed
was the cause of his bad luck "Sure-
ly some foul murder had been perpe-
trated in it” he said and he gave It
to one of his cowboys Some ' time
after the boy wanted to raise a little
money and'he offered to sell the bed
to Mrs Williams She did not want
it but to do the boy a favor as she
thought she bought it from hlnf" for

it had been originally bought at the
