I'REP SECONDS TOOK GAME
PROM TALALA
1 In a fast (.nme of base ball at the
Hay Barn diamond in this city Wed-
nesday afternoon, the second team
from the State school won from the
base ball team from the Talala
i schools.
The irame started oft' in A No. 1
stylo, both teams playing a fast
1 steady frame, thus holding the score
1 down for several innings to 1 to 0 in
i favor of the visitors, but it. seems that
the boys from the Prep "fell on" the
! visitors' twirler along about the
fourth inning with the result that
j they forced, six runners across the
i plate. The visiting team seemed to
"be in the air," and unable to hold the
Prep boys but they "tightened up"
and began to do some scoring them-
selves, with the result that they tied
the game up with a score of 8 to 8 in
the later inningtf'of the game, but the
prep boys "got a little pep," and
forced the winning run across the
plate. On the whole the game was a
good one for a kids' team and only
went to show that the State School
has some good base ball material in
the ranks of their second team. No
admission fee was charged but a free
offering was taken up with the result
that the boys were given seven or
eight dollars. Sometime ago the sec-
ond team from the State School went
up to Talala and played the Talala
school team on the grounds there, with
the result that they were defeated
It is thought that another game will
be arranged for between these two
teams to decide which is the best team,
as each of them have captured one
game. One enjoyable feature of the
game Wednsday was the presence of
the school band, which is getting bet-
er all the time. In a few more months
the State School will have a band
which they need not be ashamed of
anywhere.
RECEPTION TO PASTOR AND
FAMILY
The officers and membership of the
Young Women's Missionary Society
of the First Baptist Church were hos-
tesses to the members and friends of
tho church at a reception given to the
pastor for the coming year, Rev.
E, P. Cameron, nnd family at the
home of C. B. Littlelield, on East
Third street, on Tuesday evening
from seven to ten o'clock.
Each guest was welcomed on arriv-
al by Mesdames G. O. Bayless and E.
II. Lightner, assisted by C. B. Lit-
tlefleld. In the receiving line were
Mesdames O. E. Lockwood, A. N. Ler-
skov, G. D. Davis and C. S. Leacock,
president, vice president, treasurer
and secretary respectively of the so-
ciety, who in turn introduced to the
guests E. I). Cameron, Mrs. Cameron,
Miss Ima Gene and Master Malcomb
Cameron.
After each guest had been intro-
duced to the pastor's family, dainty
refreshments of ice cream, cake and
punch were served.
The original beauty of the spacious
rooms of the Littlefield home was en-
hanced for the occasion by a profus-
ion of pretty flowers, the aroma per-
meating the air.
During the entire evening the trem-
ulous tones of a violin, accompanied
by the notes of a piano, were heard
and appreciated by almost an hun-
dred guests who were in attendance.

ORGANIZED AUXILARY TO
FARMERS* INSTITUTE
Mrs. Thos. Ostenburg and Mrs.
Jones spent Friday night in Tiawah
for the purpose of attending the clos-
ing exercises of the Tiawah schools
and organizing a Woman's Auxilary
to the Farmers' Institute. The ladies
report that they hal excellent success,
that an organization was perfected
and that at a meeting to be held some
time next week at that place it is ex-
pected that the membership in the
organization at Tiawah will be in-
creased. The ladies of the locality
are working earnestly in organizing
the different auxilaries throughout
this section of the country in an en-
deavor to get the training school from
Stillwater to come to this city for a
week's stay this summer. This will
mean quite a little to Claremore, for
if the ladies of the city succeed in
getting this school to come here the
farmers of this locality will be given
an opportunity of attending lectures
free of cost for an entire week, the
lectures to be given by various in-
structors from the A. and M. College
at Stillwater. The matter of getting
the school to come here this ummer
depends upon the success the ladies
have in organizing a greater num-
ber of auxilaries throghout this sec-
tion of the country than some of the
surrounding counties.
The ladies also report that the clos-
ing exercises of the Tiawah schools
were excellent and that they were
agreeably surprised at the efficiency
shown by the teachers.

the question of granting an increase

GOOD ROADS DAY OBSERVED IN
CHELSEA
The writer was in Chelsea Wednes-
day. the 15th, and found the streets of
that little metropolis, usually alive
with the hum of industry, practically
deserted. Every drug store, hard-
ware dry goods, grocery, meat mar-
ket and barber shop was closed, in
fact the bunks and every business
house in the town was closed and ev-
ery man was devoting his time and
energy to promote the better high-
way into Chelsea movement There
were a number of drummers and trav-
eling salesmen who stopped off in
Chelsea on that day only to be dis-
appointed, as there were no business
men in. town to give an order.
We understand that as a result of
such work Chelsea has improved the
roads leading into the city to quite
an extent and that her trade territory
will be enlarged as well as affords a
highway over which automobiles can
travel without shaking the vehicles
to pieces or tiring the occupants-
Chelsea is to be congratulated on
the result of the day's work as well
as upon the fact that it is the first
town in the county to actively for-
ward the movement.
We believe that other towns and
cities in the county can well afford to
pattern after Chelsea's example and
exceed Chelsea in results. Thus the
main highways in the county will be
improved and it can be said that this
county has a road system second to
none in the state. Let's get busy and
see that the good word is promoted.
DANIELS MAY BACK WATER
Washington, April 16.—Naval cir-
cles are still agitated as a result of
Secretary Daniels' order abolishing
the wine mess aboard all vessels of the
navy, and prohibiting even the use of
light wines or beer in the quarters of
officers at yards and stations. Mr.
Daniels has begun to feel the effects
of criticism outside the service, and it
would not be surprising, so it is said,
if on July 1st, when the order is sched-
uled to become effective, it would not
be promulgated and the wine mess
would be allowed to continue. An in-
formal talk with other Cabinet offi-
cers show* that Secretary Bryan is the
only one who approves the action of
Daniels. • Secretary Garrison said he
had no intention of issuing a similar
order to the army. Secretary McAdoo
indicates he has no intention of mak-
ing the revenue cutter service "dry."
CHARLIE CHURCH ABLE TO BE
OUT
Charlie Church, who was severely
injured Sunday, when the automobile
which he was driving turned turtle
on Fourth street, was able to be up
and around Tuesday afternoon. He
said that he felt pretty badly dam-
aged and bruised but that he is "still
in the ring." The cut over his right
temple is getting along nicely and the
sprain of his right knee was not as
bad as was first thought. He says
that he received some internal injuries,
as something seems loose when he
lays on his side.

with a delightful 12 o'clock dinner, at

SUNDAY BASE BALL GAME
The town base ball team has been
matched to cross bats with the fast
team from Sapulpa Sunday at the Hay
Barn diamond. Both teams are well
matched and a fast hard game will be
the result An effort is being made to
get base ball started in Claremore and
all that is lacking at the present time
is the support of the people, as that is
absolutely essential to the success of
a town base ball team, for without it
there can be no games played in the
city, as none of those having the man-
agement in charge feel able to bear
the expenses themselves.
