The Flngerisss Kind.
Lillian Russell during a recent visit
to Atlantic City was amazed to aee
the number of slashed skirts that still
prevailed on the boardwalk.
"They must be laBt spring's left-
overs," she said.
Just then a young girl In a skirt
outrageously slashed at back and
front asked her companion in pass-
ing:
"How do you like my new dress?
Fits like a glove, doesn't it?"
"Fits like a mitt, she'd better say,"
murmured Miss Russell with a smile.

"Come on, Bill," whispered the old

Willie the business Interests, the

a cotton crop to worry about.
The state's cotton crop Is about
1,600 acres and those in eharge figure
that the state will have about 600
bales this season.
"We are not worrying a great deal

Candidates for Speaker
Candidates for the presiding offic-
ers of the two houses of the legisla-
ture are beginning to apear. Secre-
tary of State Ben Harrison, who was
a candidate for governor early in the
campaign, withdrawing later to run
for the legislature, has the start, as
he practically made his campaign for
the speakership rather than for mem-
bership in the house. He is a mem-
ber of the Choctaw tribe and will be
opposed by another Choctaw, Tom
Hunter, of Hugo. Harrison was a
member of the second legislature be-
fore he was elected secretary of state,
and Hunter, who was a candidate for
the governorship of the tribe against
Victor Locke, and was a member of
the famous investigating committee
of that body, is also a candidate, and
Luther Harrison of Wewoka, former-
ly publicity manager for the demo-
cratic committee, reading clerk of the
house during the last two legisla-
tures, and at present editor of the
Democrat at Wewoka, is also being
suggested. A. A. McCrory of Ring-
ling, a member of the last house, and
Paul Nesbitt, of the McAlester Trib-
une, are other newspaper men talked
of in this connection.
YOUNG MAN WELCOMED SIGN
Showed That Fiery Southerner Mlflht
Almost Be Considered "Back
In the Union."
Senator A. O. Iiacon of Georgia tells
this story of Colonel Clayton, a Uery
southerner who went out of the Union
when tola state did, and fought bravely
through the war. He refused to be
"reconstruBted" after the war was
over.
" 'Once a Confederate always a Con-
federate,' he was wont to say, and
although he recovered from the bit-
terness engendered in the four years
of strife be regarded himself as an
allen. In the restored Union, and re-
fused to vote or to exercise any of the
duties of a citizen.
"When the war with Spalan broke
out," however, the old flre burned In
his eye, and he offered no objection
when his son, a stalwart Bpectmen of
young manhood, joined the national
army and went to Cuba to light.
"One day, after the battle of San
Juan, the young man received a letter
from him.
" 'Well,' he said thoughtfully, after
reading it, 'father is back In the Union
at last.'"
"'Does he say bo?' he was nsked.
" 'Not exactly, but he might as well.
He writes "United States" now with-
out putting the word "United" In quo-
tation marks.'"
Many Women at Work.
Prof. Edward A. Ross says that
there are about 5,000,000 women en-
gaged In gainful occupations in the
United States, and that the number is
Increasing much more rapidly than
the general population. The factory
has taken everything out of the home,
be says, except the preparing of food
and the rearing of children. About
one-third of the single women of the
country between fifteen and twenty-
Hve are. engaged in occupations out-
side of their homes, and in the city
50 per cent, so that nearly half the
women In the country are at work, but
between twenty-five and thirty-five
only one-fifth of the number are at
work outside the homes, most of them
being married.
Auto Show at the Fair
.Numerous inquiries are being made
concerning the Auto Show which will
be held for twelve days at the Okla-
homa State Fair, September 22 to Oc-
tober 3. Unusual interest is being
taken in the exhibit this year by all
the agencies, large and small, and by
the general public. In fact only a lit-
tle available exhibit space remains.
Automobile dealers in Oklahoma and
the Southwest are planning to attend
the show in a body. A movement is
now on foot in various sections of
Oklahoma to organize local associa-
tions under the wing of the recently
organized Oklahoma Automobile As-
sociation, of which C. B. Shaffer of
Cushing is the president and F. E.
Harkness of Oklahoma City the sec-
retary. With the state convention In
session during the period of the State
Fair, it is believed that at least a thou-
sand enthusiastic autoists will be
present.
What was formerly known as the
Agricultural Building is being con-
verted into the Auto Building and it
will be filled with automobiles and
accessories. The Auto Show room
will measure 80x276 or 22.080 square
feet and will be tastily decorated.

Horse Hadn't Had Fair Chance.
An Irishman who was Belling a
horse to an English agent, who was
buying for the British army, was
asked by the latter would he guar-
antee the animal as fit for his majes-
ty's service. ,
"Of course I will," replied Pat,
whereupon the bargain was completed.
Some time afterward the agent met
Pat at a fair.
"Why, you scoundrel," exclaimed the
Englishman, "you guaranteed that
horse as fit for his majesty's serv-
ice, and he turned out useless for
the army."
"Then, hang it, man, why didn't
you try him in the navy?" was the
reply.
Took Her Too Literally.
A Bloomfield woman looked across
her lawn to where passers-by were
breaking off the blossoming twigs of
her favorite quince tree*
"We might as well cut the tree
down as let it stand for people to de-
stroy," said she.
Half an hour later the tree lay on
the ground beside a little hatchet,
while around behind the house the
■small boy of the family was getting
a switching with one of the branches.
This teaches us that we should be
sure of our audience before we era

A Kind Father.
"Father," she said, "Mr. Kenwood
told me last night that he intended to
call on you today and ask you some-
thing very Important about me. Did
you see him?"
"Yes."
"What happened!"
"This Is such a nice evening, Marie,
that I hate to spoil It by telling you."

guaranty fund are state funds, and a
suit to recover a deposit of a failed
bank which has been taken in charge
of by the state banking board, which
has charge of the guaranty fund, Is

tention of the attorney general in a
brief and argument prepared to be
filed with the United States supreme
court, appealing from the judgment of
the federal court of the Western
Oklahoma district.

Iron Works incorporated under the
laws of Maine' became the transferee

Paper Coat Increased
Oklahoma newspaper men, Job
printers and dealera in stationery of
all kinds are being hard hit aa a re-
sult of the increase In the price of
paper. The war In Europe has cut
off all paper Imported here from Nor-
way, Sweden and Germany. It has
also cut off South America's supply
and this will have to be taken care of
by the American mills. Paper la
quoted from twenty-flve to thirty-five
per cent higher than It was before the
war waa declared with prospects of a
{amine.
Skeiton la Now In Chsrae At Granite
Granite.—A. V. Skeiton, of Okemah,
former member of the state board of
prison control. Is now in charge of the
state reformatory, succeeding Clyde
Reed. Skeiton was appointed warden
of the reformatory by the prison board
some time ago when Mr. Reed an-
nounced that he would retire, but did
not assume charge of the institution
until last week. The appointment of
Skeiton leaves a vacancy on the prisoa

The duchess of Marlborough, who
haa contributed $2,000,000 to the suf-

about the new freedom of women at
a reception at Marble house, her

"No home," the duchess said, with a
smile—"no home is truly modern un-
less It haa two latchkeys."
Wise Mr. Young Husband Escaped
Pains of Indigestion Without Hurt-

The conversation having turned to
culinary spasms, Congressman Otis
Wingo of Arkansas was reminded of
Mrs._ Smith's struggle with the cook
book.
Mrs. Smith was young and Inexperi-
enced, the congressman said, but she
was ambitious. So one afternoon she
waded deep into the cook book and
dug wit an angel cake, which she
placed before the old man at the even-
ing meal.
"What's the matter with the angel
cake, Harry?" asked wifey, disappoint-
edly, on noticing that he studiously
avoided it. "Isn't it good enough?"
"It isn't that, dear," gently re-
sponded the old man. "I'm afraid that
I am not good enough."
"Good enough for what?" queried
little wlfey, with a puzzled expression.
"Good enough to become an angel,
sweetheart," sofily answered hubby.—

late years. She praises very hightly
the custom at Portland, Ore., of giving

"It Is a magnificent Idea," she said,
"and the result admirably repays the
outlay. Other cities and towns should
copy the Idea."
