At a special city election in Musko-
gee the proposed bond issue of $300,-
000 was turned down by a vote of
ti early five to one. The defeat of the
preposition is laid mainly to the fact
that the majority of the citizens were
In favor of postponing the acceptance
until after statehood.

to appoint one thousaud of Oklaho-
ma's best representative farmers to

The enrollment for the first three

At the September term of the fed-
eral court at Tulsa, which began

A mortgage for $115,000,000 on the
stocks and right-of-way of the St. Louis
& San Francisco railway company,
has been placed on file with the regis-
ter of deeds of Canadian county. It is
made to the Bankers' Trust company
of New York, and is a copy of the
mortgage that is being filed in every
county through which the Frisco

Tatty Supper Dish That la Something
of a Novelty.
This la a tasty supper dish that may
bo made from a fowl that la too old
for cooking In the ordinary way. Aft-
er it la plucked and drawn wash tho
fowl and put It Into un enameled
saucepan with cold water to cover;
add a amall onlcn, two cloves and
-four peppercorns and one slice of lean
ham; place over a moderate Are and
simmer gently until the meat falls
from tho bone. When about half
done, add a teaspoonful of salt. When
dono take the meat from the bone?
and cut into small pieces not over
one-half Inch square; put the bones
and skin back into the saucepan and
boil until the liquor is reduced to one
and a half pints, then strain and sea-
son to taste. Mix with this the chick-
en, pour the whole Into a mold and
stand it in a cold place over night.
When hard and cold, turn out of the
mold, garnish with parsley and serve.
How to Make a Furniture Polish.
To make a furniture polish use one
.ounce of brown beeswax, one-half
ounce of white wax, one-half ounce of
castile soap, one-half pint of turpen-
tine and one-half pint of water. Shred
the brown and white wax into a jar
(a two-pound jar will do), add the
turpentine and let it stand on the
stove until dissolved. Shred the soap
and let it boil in the water until quite
dissolved. Allow to cool, then pour
into the Jar and stir all the ingre-
dients together. When cold, it will
be a thick cream and must be kept air
tight. For old furniture this pro-
duces a deep, glowing polish quite dif-
ferent from any other, and it does not
finger mark.
Thieves broke into the flouring mill
of Mayor Stephenson at Enid one
night last week and stole a wagon-
load of flour.
The directors of the Farmers' ilrain.
Fuel and Livestock company of Pond

To Oil Kitchen Stove.
First, remove all dirt and grease by
using laundry or scouring soap and
hot water. Dry thoroughly. Apply
sweet oil, lard, or any clean grease
containing no salt. Rub with flannel
or soft cloth until no grease will
come off on the hand. This treatment
will remove rust as well as protect
the stove. It requires but a few min-
utes to give the stove the appearance
of new, and the process need not be
repeated as often as blacking.
ly paper, and the reault la I have been

Thla merchant furiher says that
thla saving of clerk hire expended In
thla same kind of advertising during
the year will, he la confident. Increase
his trade 50 per cent, and that he can
already name 28 customers who but
very recently have been buying their
goods almost entirely from Chicago
catulogue houses.
This exi>erlence without doubt can
be duplicated by thousand* of other
men in business throughout the coun-
try. It is to be feared that the aver-
age merchant in the smaller towns has
allowed himself to get into a rut. and
It is one from which he must swiftly
emerge If he has any desire to "stay
simple. Through publicity, which In
his case simply meant attractive and
truthful advertising, he brought tho
goods and the people together. Ke-
aulta were never in doubt.
To sum up. successfully to compete
with tho powerful catalogue houses
of the cities tho country merchant
must In a measure adopt their meth-
ods. Thev have won by publicity.
Meet them on that ground. Match
advancement with advancement. You
have the medium In your local paper.
Let your advertisements say some-
thing. and mean what they say. Let
the people know what you have to sell,
and depend upon It, they will come toi
buy.
IS
THE DESIRE TO GET SOMETHING
FOR NOTHING.
AN IGNIS FATUUS TO AVOID
One Cause That Has Led to the Down-
fall of Many—Fallacy That
Ever Tends Toward
Evil.
To Make Good Butter.
Take a bag of thick texture and a
coarser one ontside of this one. Pour
the cream into this, and tie. Bury in
the ground about 15 inches. Let it
remain there for 24 hours. Take out
and work the usual way. and you have
the nicest and richoa butter you ever
ate.
A man who won the confidence, re-
spect and admiration of the people of
his state was elected to the United
States senate. Soon it is discovered
that he was "owned by the railroads,"
bought by favors and instead of repre-
senting the interests of the people
who sent him to his high place in
the nation's councils, preferred to rep-
resent the corporations that made it
possible for him to ride over rail-
roads without cost. It is only a dem-
onstration of human inclination to get
something for nothing.
The member of a state legislature
was accused of showing special atten-
tion to legislation favorable to the
railroads and corporations. He was
charged with riding on passes; and in
fact it became known that his prin-
cipal supporters, too, rode free over
the railroads. Another illustration of
the human desire to secure something
for nothing.
The mayor of a city regularly occu-
pied a box at the leading theater;
handed out a free street car ticket to
the.conductor, enjoyed free drinks at
the bars—another example of the man
who wanted something for nothing,
and at last his greed caused him tq
enter into dishonest deals that landed
him in the penitentia*
On certain days of the month at
numerous supply depots conducted
by county and city charities, long
rows of men and women can be seen'
awaiting their turn to get a small
supply of flour, sugar and other neces-
saries of life. Some are helpless, de->
formed, and their looks indicate want
and misery, but there are others who
have no appearance of need. Here'
again we find men and women leaving
pride and self-respect behind because'
of the desire to secure something for
nothing.
From the highest walks of life to
the lowest the all-prevailing and dom-»
inant trait in evidence to show the
weakness of the individual is the
struggle to get something for noth-
ing. It is based upon a knowledge of
this fraility of humankind that some
great business enterprises are built.
Wonderful bargains are advertised,
and the masses rush to buy, without
calm reasoning in the matter of any
comparisons of value. Good business
judgment is cast in the background
by the madness to get something for
nothing.
The get-rich-quick operator uses the
same methods to lead to his trap vic-
tims with dollars as do the railroads;
the big department stores and the
others who have certain objects to
gain. It is always the promise held
out to give something for inadequate
compensation, without its equal in ex-
penditure of money or labor that al-
lows the frauds to succeed. There Is
magic in the "something for nothing"
deal. It is a bait that catches people
in every rank and walk of life. It
often is the cause of the downfall of
men who have all the abilities to sue-'
ceed. It is a fallacy that tends to-
ward evil. There can nothing be
gained without adequate compensa-
tion. "The something for nothing ia
an ignis fatuus that the wise will
avoid.
