The largest and most enthusiastic
audience that has attemk-d the Windsor
Opera House this season, crowded that
place of amusement Monday night to
listen to the recital and muaical enter-
tainment given by Misa Klla King
pianiat, Alice Adele Wyvell, reader]
and their pupils. The audience was
composed of Claremore'* music-loving
public and >very one who attended is
profuse in their praiae of the delightful
evening afforded. The reading and
piano solos by the pupils throughout the
course, furnished continual surprises,
and speaks volumns for the care exer-
cised in their training, and every num-
ber rendered carried with it that eaae
of rendition that comes only from
study and proper guidance. Whew all
did so well, it would seem unjust to
make special mention, but the piano
duet by Nannie Alberty and Miaa King,
the vocal duet by Blanche Dirickaon
and Charles Church, and "Seeing Thinga
at Night" by Oowala Buahyhead. were
leaders. In fact, everything pleased
the audience immensely. Of course, it
goes without saying that Misa Wyveil'a
reading was up to her usual standard
ami she appeared at her best Monday
evening. The vocal aolo of Miss Little-
field was a rare treat and she certainly
won a warm place in the hearts of the
entire assemblage.
Altogether the entertainment was a
success from every view point and
Missea King and Wyvell are to be con-
gratulated for the appreciation that
haa crowned their every effort.
young men.
Progress joins with their many friends
in extending congratulations.

Why wouldn't it be a good scheme to
atart a movement now and establish a
day for putting out trees all over town
the coming spring. Wo kn..w of a
town in southwestern Oklahoma that
up to 8 years ago had never had a tree
in the incorporated limits. The move-
ment was started to plant trees every-
where, the school children were asked
to participate, with the result that the
town in question has a beautiful park
in the center of the city, and few resi-
dence lots are devoid of fine shade
trees. The same could and should lie
accomplished in Claremore with very
little expense. This is a matter that
«houki appeal to every one who desire
to make Claremore a better place to
A citizen.

Progress received a letter Saturday
from Maj. D. W. Lipe telling about
it. During the recent warm spell wild
geese would light on the creek and the
oil would so cover the wings of the
geese that they could not fly and were
easily caught. One man has already
caught us many as a half dozen fine fat
ones by this method. The Maj. has one
in his front yard which was caught by
one of his hands in one of the water
tanks. The oil ia still so heavy on its
body that he is unable to fly out of the
front yard where the Maj. keeps him.

A great many people wonder how the
city schools are conducted and what
the children are taught, and this ia the
extent of their intercat in either. In
many instances parents are not even
acquainted with those who teach their
children, and never think of visiting
the schools. An occasional visit has a
tendency to encourage both teacher
and scholar and an interchange of ideas
would undoubtedly be beneficial to all
concerned. Where the efforts of any
one is appreciated and that fact is
known, it naturally brings forth renewed
endeavors and a great deal more is
accomplished.

Y. M C A. Wart.
No doubt you have seen the announce
ment "Men's MeetingOnly." You have
also heard that we are trying to orga-
nize a Y. M. C. A. Do you know what
that means? It means that an effort
is being made to protect and ulterate
the young men of our town. I,et us
see some of its purposes:
The history of the Y. M. C. A. records
the all round development of young
men. Itsinaignia -thetriangle-stands
for the development of Imdy, mind and
spirit. With the individual the social
instints predominates. Man likes to
live and enjoy himself in congenial sur-
roundings and his surroundings exert
great force in the formation of his
character. The strongest argument of
the saloon and every resort of vice is
its appeal to the social life. The
churches have rarely stressed this vital
point.
In large cities there are hundreds of
young men without homes and in small
towns there are many young men with-
out a place to go. These truisms might
have remained empty platitudes had it
not been for the consecrated life of Sir
Georfce Williams, who organized the
first Y. M. C. A. in London in 1844.
This man having gone from the country
to London knew the ordeal of passing
from a quiet country life to the hurly
burly of city life. He saw the danger
that awaits the young man whose un-
gratified social cravings will prompt
him to take up bad associates rather
than none at all. By hard work and
studious application he became a mem-
ber of one of the leading drapery firma
of London at twenty-three years of age.
From £hat time on he kept wondering
what Se could do for his one hundred
and forty asaiatanta. He often asked
himself the question, "What can I do
for these young men?"
The firstj conception of the Y. M. C.
A. waa spiritual. This is shown in the
account ai the historical meeting of the
twelve young men in the little up|*>r
room where George Williams slept and
where the Y. M. C. A. waa organized.
The sole object of the association, as
entered in the diary of one of the
members, waa to Influence religioua
young men to spread their beliefs among
thoae by whom they are surrounded.
We will have something further to
■ay along this line next week.
