400 PLAYERS TO
PARTICIPATE
Eighteen Teams Will be
Represented in District
B-B Tournament
GIRLS AND BOYS PLAY
Last Year's State Champion
Girls Will Play in This
District
Practically every town in the 23d
basketball district of the state will
send both boys and girls teams to par-
ticipate in the District Basketball
tournament to be held at the Collins-
ville gymnasium during the week end
of March 19-20 and 21.
The competition is going to be ex-
tra hard in the Class B division of
the boys bracket.
There may be a dark horse team in
the class A division to give Tulsa a
run for her money although the dope
is that Sand Springs is the only one
which rates anyways near the Tulsa
Braves.
The girls division will see the de-
fending champions in action again on
the local court. They are the East
Central group from east of Tulsa.
The Broken A-row girls are doped to
be the best team ia this division al-
though they had two narrow escapes
at the Tahlequah tournament last
week end.
This tournament will draw approx-
imately 400 contestants to the meet
to say nothing of the spectators who
always come to give their favorite
teams their support.
The towns being represented in the
tournament will be Class A Sand
Springs Collinsville Sperry Turley
Claremore Clinton (Tulsa) Central
(Tulsa)  Broken Arrow Skiatook and
Pryor.
Class B East Central (Tulsa)
Oologah Owasso Keystone Inola
U. C. (Broken Arrow) Tiawah Ca-
toosa Bushyhead Sequoyah (Clare-
more) Vera Salina.

JOHN TOMLIN HERE TUESDAY
John Tomlin one of the best clar-
inet players in Oklahoma was a vis-
itor at The News office Tuesday. He
lives at Tulsa and has been putting
some clarinets into first class condi-
tion for members of the Collinsville
high school band. The members cer-
tainly have made much improvement
on their gob sticks since John has
put them in playing condition.
SELECT HATCHING
EGGS CAREFULLY
The saying that we only get as
much out of buiness as we put into
it really applies each spring to the
raisers of baby chicks in Tulsa coun-
ty says O. J. Moyer Tulsa county
agent in speaking of the hundreds
of dollars lost each year by farmers
in Tulsa county due to hatching un-
developed chicks from inferior eggs.
Because there is such a great loss
from undeveloped chicks dying the
selection and care of hatching eggs
are two important things to consider
before the selection of hatching eggs
this spring.
A good rule recommended by II. G.
Ware poultryman Extension Serv-
ice Oklahoma A. and M. college is
to select eggs for size shape color
and shell texture. Discard small
round oblong laige thin-shelled dir-
ty cracked eggs those with ridges
and those showing depo-its of lime on
them. Care should be used in gath-
eiing the eggs to keep from crack-
ing them and the eggs should be
gathered at least twice daily. Pick
out eggs weighing about two ounces
or 24 ounces per dozen.
Eggs to be used for hatching
should not be washed since this re-
moves the bloom and allows excess
evaporation lowering the vitality of
the egg the agent said. Merely store
the eggs in a room free frofti odor or
oil with a temperature of from 50 to
60 degrees Fahrenheit. .
The eggs should' be incubated with-
in a week after they are laid but no
eggs should be set from hens that are
undersized sluggish out of condition
or that show signs of sickness or off
color said the agent.
Hattie Jones who has recently re-
turned from a hospital at Tulsa fell
and broke her arm Friday on the
slick ground.
The amount of time that a commit-
tee of three women will waste on de-
bating non-essentials is only equalled
by the amount of time that three men
will throw away in the same manner.

ASSOCIATE EDITOR
VISITS SKIATOOK
Bill Hoge associate editor of the
Oologah Oozings was in Skiatook
Monday evening waiting for a bus to
Ponca City. Bill never stated wheth-
er or not he approved the town.
Cal Tinney is the editor and Bill
the associate editor of the Oozings
which appears weekly in the Collins-
ville News.
He stated that Cal was in New
York looking things over and maybe
to see if Al Smith was making it OK.
Guess Bill was going up to Gov. Mar-
lands home town to see if they were
making it alright without the gover-
nor. Bill stated that he formerly
worked in Skiatook at the Carr bar-
ber shop several years back.
In last weeks issue of the Oozings
Bill stated that be had a narrow es-
cape from losing his scalp to Jim
Bushyhead because Bill published a
piece concerning the would-be scalp-
getter but he states that he is still
combing his hair after he told Jim it
was the truth and Jim cooled off.
If none of you folks have ever read
any of the sayings and pieces in Cal
and Bills Oozings you should read
some of it. The Skiatook Journal.

J. B. CRAY TO BE A CANDI-
DATE FOR RE-ELECTION
J. B. Gray was visiting with his
friends in Collinsville the fore part
of the week and gave out the inform-
ation that he expects to make the'wanis club play none other than the
race for re-election for county 'com- local ice man Fred Keiser in the cen-
missioner in this distiict.
llis record for accompli'hments is
sufficient that it should guarantee
his re-election. There is not a road
in the district that hasnt been put
into good condition since he has been
in office.
His policy lias alco been that the
equipment owned by the county be-
longs to the people and that when
any of the towns wish to use a

FIRE AT MASONIC BUILDING
About nine thirty Wednesday night
the fire department was called to the
Donahou Billiard parlor which is lo-
cated in the Masonic building and

operated by B. G. Donahou to put
J v
out a fire which had caught in the
ceiling of the billiard parlor.
This is the floor of the Masonic
lodge hall.
.About $300 damage was done be-
cause of the necessity of tearing a
big part of the metal ceiling off and
the throwing of considerable water
by the department.
The quick response of the depart-
ment is responsible for no more dam-
age being done than was. Had this
fire gotten beyond control it could
have caused much damage.
