DO YOU KNOW OF OB HAVE A
HOME FOR THE ORPHAN
CHILDREN
Senator Gfd Graham, superinten-
dent of the State Orphan's Home at
Pryor, waft in the city Wednesday and
called in the see the editor. In course
of the conversation the fact was re-
vealed by Mr. Graham that he was
endeavoring at the present time to
secure homes for the orphan children
which he has under his charpc at Pry-
or. When questioned as to why he
was seeking suitable homes for the
children rather than let them stay at
the hom<; at Pryor, the Senator in-
formed us that the capacity St the
home was two hundred and fifty,'and
that at the present time, he has enroll-
ed two hundred and twenty-five and
that more are cominir in every day,
so that soon the home will not be able
to accommodate the number coming.
The Senator is making quite a cam-
paign over the state seeking homes
for the children, aijid so far he has
been very successful. He secured
Miles for five at Tulsa Tuesday and
ivill be extremely pleased if any one
in Claremore who knows of a home
that can be secured for one or more of
these children will write him at Pryor
apprising him of the fact.
The orphans who come to the State
Home at Pryor range in age from 1
to 16 years. They are taught at this
place to do the common things of life
uncommonly well as it is understood,
and is a fact, that when they face the
world they are not backed by a good
father and mother's prestige nor with
wealth. What they get they make
with their own hands, so they are
taught to fight the battle of life in
this fashion. Th*ey are housed irt
eight cottages, presided over by a ma-
tron and teacher. The cottages are
joined with 320 acres of fine farming
land. They have recently purchased
it fine milk herd and are going to es-
tablish n model dairy. When Senator
Graham went to Pryor to take charge
RAILROAD TOOK STRIKE TO
THEMSELVES
In preparation for the coming strike
of the Frisco railroad telegraph oper-
ators which was announced Monday
morning at ten o'clock and which has
been seen coming for some time by the
management of the railroad, Superin-
tendent S. T. Cantrell, accompanied
by two assistant superintendents,
namely, W. H. Hutchins and F. H. An-
derson, with headquarters at Sapulpa,
took the initative Sunday night by
running a special train along the Fris-
co line and removing all of the tele-
graph instruments from the offices
and having installed in their stead
telephone lines, so that when the oper-
ators went on the strike the traffic
over the rood ^ould not be tied up as
the orders could he transmitted over
the phrfne instead of the telegraph
wire. The train arrived in Claremore
at seven o'clock Sunday night and the
instruments at this place were quick-
ly removed.
Heretofore there have been thirty-
seven telegraph stations between Sa-
pulpa and Monett, Mo., inclusive while
at the present time only eight tele-
phone station* are being used, our
nearest connections being Sapulpa on
the west and Chelsea on the east. As
a result of this move on the part of
the superintendent the traffic over the
Frisco has not been tied up and yet
there is a total absence of telegraph
instruments at the local station. The
tick of the instruments are missed at
the depot for never before have they
all been silenced at the same time.
TO HAVE COMMERCIAL SECTION
For the first time in the history of
the State Teachers' Association, it is
said, there was organized on Tuesday
in the Central High School, at Tulsr.,
what will be known as the Commer-
cial Section of the State Teachers'
Association. The purpose of this
section will be to assemble together

treasurer.

dent.
Frank Shockley, Shawnee, vice pres-
ident.

tary-treasurer.
J. G. Masters, principal of the Ok-
lahoma City high school and former
superintendent of the Tulsa city
schools was elected president of the
Oklahoma Educational association in
afternoon session Tuesday by a vote
of 378 over Edwin S. Monroe of Mus-
kogee, who polled a vote of 324 votes,
at Tulsa.
A unanimous vote by acclamation
resulted in Edwin S. Monroe being
chosen as vice president of the asso-

preferred over a field of five .candi-
dates for the position of secretary-
treasurer.
The officers were chosen following
one of the stormiest meetings ever
held in the history of the educational
association. Departing from the plan
of former years of the officers being
elected by an executive committee
consisting of one member from every
county in the state, the open conven-
tion election resulted in the political
aspect taken on by Tuesday after-
noon's meeting.
Following a general disagreement
which called for the votes of various
candidates being contested, the con-
vention in an uproar, adjourned with-
out electing a member of the execu-
tive committee, it being deferred un-
til the business session at 11:45 this
morning, just before formal adjourn-
ment will be taken.
Following the regular program for
the afternoon the delegates from
every county represented gathered in
their respective sections when nomina-
tions for the presidency were opened.
J. G. Masters, of Oklahoma City,
A. W. Duff, of Mangum, member of
{the stale board association, Edwin S.
Monroe, of Muskogee, and L. W. Aus-
tin, of Wagoner, were the candidates
in the field for president. The vote
taken by counties gave Masters 290,
Duff lfiN, Monroe R4(), arid Austin 2.
In tho final vote Masters was chosen
over the Musjtoge m.-yi by u vote' of

served which were enjoyed by all. It
seems that the young folk went to
Mrs. Fry's house in the year of 1913
and departed five minutes after the
new year had dawned, all proclaiming
Mrs. Fry an excellent hostess and de-
claring that if they wanted another
real good time they would surely pay
her a visit.
Mrs. Fry also entertained a few of
the small tots of the city in the after-
noon Wednesday in honor of Little
Pauline McSpadden and Ethel McIn-
tosh, both of Chelsea. The afternoon
was spent in childish play. The little
ones were served with refreshments
and were shown a good time in gen-
eral. \
IT PAYS TO KEEP GOOD POULTRY
In conversation with C. B. Little-
field, Wednesday night, he informed
the Editor that since the first of Octo-
committee later were approved by the
receivers and the fact that the strike
had been averted was made known.
A VERY NICE GIFT
Mrs. W. L. LaByer has just receiv-
ed an 80-pound crate of fruit from
Arcadia, Fla., sent by her sons, T. E.
and F. A. LaByer. The crate con-
tained grapefruit, oranges, tangareens
mangreens, limes, lemons and gauvas.
The lemons and limes were picked
from trees in T. E.'s yard. The boys
have lived in Florida for more than a
year, and like the country better every
day.
W. L. LaByer, who went- to spend
the winter with his two sons, is im-
proving slowly, and thinks the climate
is grand.
YOUNGEST AVIATOR IN THE
WORLD HERE
John Hardy, of St. Louis, Mo., the
youngest government aviator in the
world, spent Wednesday in the
city, the guest of friends. He is, at
the present time, on the trail of some
thieves who stole from him two aero-
plane engines and whom he thinks he
can locate in Tulsa.
He is located at the present time at
| the government barracks at St. Louis,
Mo., holding a government license
there. At the young ape of 14 years,
he decided that he would learn the art
of flying and so successful was he
that at the age of nineteen years he
had secured a government license.
To secure this he had to make a
nerve wracking flight. He had to fly
70Q0 feet in the air and light within
ten feet from where he started. He
made this trial' trip successfully and
as a result he won the distinction of
being granted a license to fly, he be-
ing the youngest person that an
aeronautic license had ever been issu-
ed to. He also holds the added dis-
tinction of flying the smallest aero-
plane in the world. It is of a foreign
make and has but a three foot and
ten inch propeller but he gets through
the air just the same.
He seems to be entirely taken up
with the art of flying and being poses-
sed of a wonderful nerve and no
small ability as an inventor he ex-
pects to do something really great
before he quits the business.
WATCH PARTY
A watch party was held at the home
of Clyde and Granville Calloway, in
ber, 1913, he had sold $3<W.o0 worth 6 northeastern pert of the city,

of blooded chickens, Rhode Island
Reds, to varioua parties in the coun
ty. His last sale consisted of 39 of his
blooded chickens to A. B. Mull, a
chicken raiser of some ote, at Inola,
for the consideration of 1200.00. Mr.
Littiefield says that the farmers are
seeing more and more the advantage
of keeping the blooded chickens and
that as a consequence the quality and
grade of the poultry of the country
is increasing. The standard is being
raised and soon this locality will be
second to none when it comes to keep-
ing and raking blooded chickens.
Wednesday night, with about thirty-
five present. The evening was pleas-
antly spent in the indulgence of vari-
ous games. During the evening re-
freshments were served which proved
to be very tasty. At a late hour the
young folk adjourned, having had a
pleasant time and having watched the
old year out and the new year in.
Jessie Willis, of the Hall-Gilkeson
Drug Company, is taking a vacation
this week. He is visiting with friends
in Ft Smith, Arkansas, Sallisaw and
other southern points.

STATE SCHOOL WELL REPRE-
SENTED
The State School was well repre-
sented at the Oklahoma Teachers'
Meeting at Tulsa Monday, the names
of D. J. Kaessmann, on Modern Lan-
guages; James Ryan, on Manual
Training; Miss Lobsitz. on Kinder-
garden Work, and an address by J.
H. Bayes appeared on the program.
It is not many of the schools in the
state that are so fortunate to be gran-
ted so many numbers on the program
and the State School here feels quite
complimented as a result of the favor
tendered it. Most all of the faculty
of the State School attended the meet-
ing and a number of the teachers in
the public schools were also in attend-
ance. Such meetings as the one at
Tulsa are a good thing for the schools
of the state, as they tend to promote
a feeling of good fellowship and to
enable the schools to work in co-op-
eration and as a unit.

TWO BURNED TO DEATH
A train the foolish practice of pour-
injr kerosene in a stove has reaped
its terrible toll and this time it claim-
ed two lives, in the person of Mrs.
Lew Han key and baby, of Inola.
At eleven o'clock Sundny morning
Mrs. Lew Hnnkey, who resides in the
oil field near Inola, decided that she
would pour a little kerosene in the
stove to aid the flames in catching
the wood. Her child was sitting on
the floor beside the stove. Either be-
ing careless or not watching what
she was r jing, Mrs. Hnnkey got too
much of tho kerosene and as a result
when she poured it into the stove il
shot out as if propelled l.y trunpowder,
scattering the burning liquid over her-
self and little child. The woman be-
came terror stricken.and rushed out
doors. She seemed to he trying to
put out the fire with her hands. W.
A. Cummings, who conducts a grocery
store near Mrs. Han key's house, heard
the woman's screams and ran out to
see what was the niatter with her.
He took in the situation in a minute
and doffing his coat ran after the wo-
man. He caught her and putting the
coat around her succeeded in extin-
guishing the flames,' but not before
they had done their work of burning
the woman badly, to' such an extent
that she died Sunday evening, never
.regaining consciousness. Upon inves-
tigation it was discovered that the
child, who was playing by the stove,
vi%s also horribly 'burned. It also
died a few hours after the accident.
Although 'there has been so many
instances where the 'use of kerosene
in starting fires hus proven disastrous
and has caused a Meat loss of life,
the practice .Is-kept qp in parts of the
country where natural gas is not to
be had. One may espape five hundred
limes, but death may come with the
five hundredth and one time, yet the
practice goes steadily on.
MRS. ROBERT SWIFT DIES
Sunday evening Dr. A. A. Swift, of
this city, received 9 telegram from
Mesa, Arizona, which stated that his
mother, Mrs. Eliza Pigott Swift, had
passed away, stricken with pnaumonia.
Just one week ago her husliand.'the
late Robert Swift, died of the same
disease, so this double bereavement
coming at the Christmas season is un-
usually sad and is a great shock to
I the members of the family.
i Mrs. Swift was a true christian
j woman and a devout Episcopalian
and it is supposed that the funeral was
1 hold Monday ii< Stvrfaark's Episcopal
j Chnreh at Mesa, Arizona, and she
will be laid to rest beside her husband
in tha Me n cemotery. The deceased
I is survived by nine children, who are
las follows: Dr. A. A. Swift,, of this
I city; Mrs. C. H. Bohn, of Marshall,
| Mo.; Ed and James Swift, of Black-
burn, Mo.; Miss Hattie Swift, of St.
Louis; Mrs. Lewis Gray, Samuel E.
S'vift and Misses Lily and Eliza Swii't,
; all of Mesa, Arizona.

of Dr. Swift and family in extending
sympathy in their sad hour of be-
reavement.

ATTEMPT ROBBERY AT MASON
What came near being a very bold
robbery at the Hotel Mason toas
"nipped in the bud" by the presence
of mind of one I. A. Eltiz, of New
York City, and the night clerk, Bud
Trail, Friday night when a man went
to Mr. Eltiz's room and knocked, ask-
ing permission to enter. Mr. Eltiz
askedt he man what he wanted,dO|hez
asked the man who he was and the
man replied that he was the 'porter,
whereupon he Opened the door to ad-
mit the visitor.
No sooner had Mr. Eltiz opened the
d6or than he was confronted by a
man who was not the porter but a
white man, who demanded Mr. Elitz
to throw up his hands. The midnight
prowler accompanied his command by
drawing something which looked like
a razor and told Mr. Eltiz to make no
noise or to let out no cry for help.
At the command from the burglar to
throw up his hands, Mr. Eltiz did so,
but at the same time he let one hand
drop on the bell button which is con-
nected witht he desk in the office. As
he and the burglar were talking at
the doorway, the burglar making
threats and Mr. Eltiz doing all he
could to "kill time" so that the night
clerk would notice the bell, Mr. Eltiz
continued to press the bell button un-
noticed by the burglar.
As the burglar was about to enter
the room and relieve Mr. Eltiz of his
money and valuables, the night clerk,
Bud Trail, who had become alarmed
at the continued ringing of the bell,
rushed up behind the prowler, who
was too interested in watching Mr.
Eltiz to notice the presence of the
clerk, until the clerk hit him on the
hack of the head, knocking the burg-
lar to the floor. He was tied and the
police were called. He now reposes
in the city jail on a charge of at-
tempted robbery.

FIRE DEPT. BROKE DOWN-
HOUSE BURNED
The fire department was called to
Ninth and Wenona about noon Satur-
day by the alarm being turned in that
Dave Alton's V" • was on fiu. The
department .nail. . quick get-away,
but to no a til, < one of the rear
wheels of the v ^ron came off as they
were racing down Wenona near Sixth.
The loss of the wheel on the wagon
was due to one of the nuts coming
off of the right hand rear wheel. The
back part of the wagon dropped down,
the axle dragging on the ground,
which brought the department to a
halt. A dray wagon was summoned
to the place, some hose was dumped
into the wagon and the interrupted
run was completed.
When the boys arrived at the fire,
it was discovered that the pressure
was so weak, for some reason, that
no good could be accomplished by the
use of the hose. In spite of the dif-
ficulties that he fire boys experienced
when they did get to the fire, they
did some good work, but the house
was too far gone to do much. Some
of the household furniture was carried
out, but outside of that everything
went. The house was partly covered
with insurance.
The fire was caused by the children
in the kitchen playing with matches.
One of the little tots came running
in to his mother, who was in the front
room, and said that if she would give
him a pan of water he would put out
the fire. Mrs. Alton asked the little
lad where the fire was, and he said
"in the kitchen." The mother rushed
into the kitchen and found it in
flames.
CHRIST1 AN'"BIBLE SCHOOL M A IN
TAINS STANDARD
Sunday marked the close of the first
month of the contest between the
Claremore and Nowata Christian Bi-
bles Schools. Last Sunday Claremore
made such a gain that she stood fill)
points in the lead. There was a de-
termined effort on the part of the No-
wata people to overcome this Sunday.
But when the reports were exchanged
Sunday afternoon by phone, it was
found that Claremore had gained one
more point, and now it stands :ill in
the lead.
Next Sunday another new depart-
ure will be taken in the matter of the
birthday celebration. Supt. J. D.
Barney has worked for several days on
an electric indicator to receive the
birthday offering. All who have en-
joyed birthdays recently are expected
to come prepared next Sunday to take
part in this new service.
PIPE LINE BEING LAID
The pipe for the pipe line, which is
to be laid from the Inola Oil Field to
Inola, was started Tuesday morning
with about twenty-five men employed.
This line will be put in as fast as pos-
sible and will be in operation, it is
thought, by the mii'ile of January.
Claremore was not able to land the
pipe line, but we are to get the offices.
They will be located in the Bayless
building next to the Claremore Ga-
rage.

day in the city visiting with friends.
ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE OF THE
LOCAL ELK'S LODGE A PLEAS-
ANT AFFAIR
Wednesday night the local Elk's
lodge held open house at their club
rooms. The evening was spent with
dancing and cards, and taking the
affair as a whole, the members of the
local order and the visiting brothers
did themselves proud in the way of
having a good time. The hall was
beautifully decorated by the Moore
Green House, the color scheme of
white background with purple being
carried out. The hall was "a sight
for the sore eyes," and proved to be
ideal surroundings for the assembling
of so congenial a crowd of Claremore
folk, Excellent music was furnished
by the Claremore Orchestra, of four
pieces, led by Mr. Collar. The floor
was in excellent condition and the
merry tapping of dancing feet was
heard until the "wee sma hours" of
the morning'. At eleven o'clock dainty
refreshments of turkey, chicken and
ham sandwiches, coffey and punch
were served which were enjoyed by
all, to say the least.
This open house is to be an annual
affair. The members of the local club
have decided that as the entertain-
ment Wednesday evening was such a
pronounced success it should be
made a custom and the members of
the lodge will look forward to the oc-
casion next year with pleasant antici-
pation.
