Jamestown Exposition.

Norfolk Va. The Jamestown Ex-
position to he held on the shores of
the historic Hnmpton Roads next year
will nerve us a connecting link between
I In.' present and tin? past. It will de-
note the progress of the world by show-
ing the most perfect and formiable
warships of all nations today and the
various types of ships of the present
mill past centuries. It will show the
industrial dcvelopmeiil of the past
three centuries and the methods in
vogue in the olden days of the sickle
and scythe; the spinning wheel and
the hand loom ; the stage couch and
the locomotive; the old bulling craft
and the ocean greyhound. It wil.
present to Exposition visitors the
most beautiful and unique of all expo-
sitions ever seen In this or an
other country in which the armlet-
and navies of the world will partici-
pate and which will bu attended b
presidents princes and potentates.
The special feature of the James-
town Exposition will be the greut mili-
tary and iiiival displays drills pannier-
and reviews but science and art com-
merce and industry agriculture and
education will all play important
parts in this great celebration of the
tliret" hundredth auuiversury of the
iirst permanent settlement of English
Rpcakiug people in America which will
open Us gates to the public ut noon
April 26 1JMJ7.
All the leading nations of the world
and almost if not all the states of the
Americun union will have representa-
tion ut the Jamestown Exposition as
well as our island possessions. Many
of tho great nations will have their
Hnest soldiers and most distinguished
commanders their most maguillcent
warships and best drilled crews. Tho
states of the union will have their own
handsome buildings and oomnrohen-
hino exhibits of their resources and
products and picked regiments of their
national guard to participate with the
soldiers of the United States regular
army and tho soldiers of tho foreign
armies hi the various military man-
oeuvres which will add ho much to tho
attraotivenessof the Exposition.
Military drills and parades by the
flnt'st soldiers of Europe and America
will bt daily features of tho Exposi-
tion from the curly part of May until
the closing days a thirty-acre parade
ground having been arranged Tor this
purpose. Americans will then have
an opportunity to compare our own
soldiers with thosu of the kingdoms
and empires of the old world The
drill ground is largo enough for artil-
lery and cavalry evolutions as well as
infantry drill and there will bo com-
petitive drills for honors among and
between the troops of tho dilTorunt
countries which will alford opportun-
ity to judge of the merits and elllcioncy
of tho trained soldiers of tho world.
Naval evolutions of many kinds by
vessels which Hunt upon tho water and
by those which travel under tho water
will constitute another attraction
which Exposition visitors can appre
ciate. J lio great warshipn of naval
powers of tho world will be seen in the
waters of Hampton Howls near tho
maguillcent piers leading from the
Exposition grounds out into the harbor
a distance of 'J 100 feet. Naval man-
oeuvres and sham battles will consti-
tute entertaining features and water
pageants and carnivals will add to the
Mplendor of tho occasion.
The great battle betweon tlffe Merri-
nuio and tho Monitor will bo repro-
duced in the same position these old
iron-clad occupied when they fougnt
their terrible fight in 1802 during the
Civil iVur Thirf famous battle was
rouglit near the Exposition grounds
just off the point on Ilamption Roads.
Tho Government buildings will con-
sist of a large general exhibit building
in which tho several departments will
be represented ; a colonial building and
exhibits from Alaska Porto Ilieo
Hawaii and tho Philllpines; a negro
building showing tho development or
the African race; club buildings for
tho olllcers of tho armies and navies of
tho United States and visiting
countries; Hsnories uuinltng life sav-
ing stations and the grand piers ex-
tending out into the waters of Hamp-

Theso uro only n few of tho features
of tho Jamestown Exposition. The
beautiful grounds containing about COO
acres on which there nro now growing
over a million trees shrubs ami plants
are in themselves an attraction which
cannot fail to excito admiration and
wonder. Magnificent shady walks and
drives llowory nooks and dells
abound everywhere on tho grounds
and even the enclosure is a work of
art. An immence wire fence eight
feet high covered with honeysuckle
rambler roses and the trumpet vine
that charms tho eye and tills tho air
with fragrance encloses the grounds
on tho land sides for a distance of
more than two milejj presenting a
beautiful barrier betweco tho outside
world and tho Exposition grounds
standing out like an immence green
hedge. Beauty and grandeur abound
everywhere and the Jamestown Ex-
position will bo the gem of all exposi-
tions. The Broom Corn Crop .
If any people think that broom corn
is an insignificent crop they should
take a look at the loads that crowd tho
streotsof Ilookor those warm Decem-
ber days. An idea of tho magnitude
of tho crop may be gained from the
statement of the fact that upwards of
fifty cars of broom corn have already
been shipped from Hooker to tho mar-
kets of the East and that tho oron
as a whole has scarcely begun to move.
Beaver county Is now producing more
broom corn than any other county In
Oklahoma and Oklahoma produces the
larger part of tho world's crop. Liber-
al hist year claimed to bo the greatest
broom corn market in tho world and
will probably sustain that ulaini thN
season but Liberal gets most of its
broom corn from Beaver county.
Up to date Hooker has received ap-
proximately llvo hundred tons of the
crop of 1000 and although tho season
is well advanced it is claimed that
owing to the unfavorable weather but
a small per cent of tho crop has been
marketed. Seeding outliu have been
scarce and tho wet weather has pre-
vented them working full lime.
The average price paid this year has
boon about $47.60 por ton. Some corn
has bold as low as $30 but most of
has sold for between 0 and $.r0 per
ton and some brougot as much as $05.
Nearly 5000 has ulrcudy been paid
to tho farmers ut Hooker ulono for
broom corn while but a small per cent
of the crop has been marketed.
Broom corn pays the furmer xr.
considering the cost of product'.on.
Wheat requires a heavy invefin0nt
in expensive machinery and cotton is
an everlasting job to pick bu broom
corn is easily planted reo uircsljut
nuio cultivation or mofste r and is
reabily and rapidly "pullerV' or cut.
Seeding is the only work tnat requires'

who have signified their intention of
constructing seeders of their own or
at least a "community" seeding.
Curing sheds will also bo 'milt next
year by many who expect to put in an-
other crop. Tho damago done to
broom com this season by tho rains has
cut the profit down to half what it
would have been had tho brush cured
under sheds. In other words corn
that is now selling for 83 and $10 per
ton would bring $50 to $00 per ton if
it wasnotdamnge by exposure curing
the wot weather.
All to how many acres of broom corn
one man can handlo unaided we will
vonhiro no opinion but will recite one
instance of individual enterprise show-
ing what one man did. Lawrence
Roessner who lives 25 miles east of
Hooker lust spring planted 50 acres of
broom corn. With the exception of
hired help to the amount of $35 he
guthored the entiro crop alone making
ten tons with an approximate cash out-
lay of $13.60 por ton. He sold his en-
tiro crop in Hooker for $10 per ton.

For tho instructions of entry men in
Beaver county we call your attentio
to a decision rendered by tho Honor-
able Commissioner of tho Geuorul

11 1000 in thocaioof Hannah Ward
Tho decision among other things says :
"Claimant does not show residence
upon tho land for twelve months as
required by tho Act of Ootoborl) 1S03
which provides 'That any person en-
.h.m uj mn io mK0 a noniesteau in
said Territory or Oklahoma who has
already located and filed up on or who
shall hereafter locate and file upon a
homestead within the public land strip
(Beaver County) in Oklahoma Terri-
tory and who hus complied with all
the laws relating to such homestead
ucttlement may receive apatentthere-
arter at tho expiro.tiin of locating upon
Haid homestead upon payment to the
United States of $1.1G per aero."
In consisting tho abovo statutory
provision tho Commissioner says "It
appoars from tho wording of tho above
Act t'.iat twelve months nnibt elapse
botwven tho date of locating upon tho
houKstoad and tho submission -of the
proo'f thereon. No credit can be given
inttio commutation of entry under J
Mud Act for tho poriod of time be-
tween tho dato of tho entry and the

In this case tho party established resi-
dence in Juno 1005 and submitted com-
munication paoof May 14 1000 there-
fore IS month did not elapse between
tho dato'of locating on his homestead
and tho date of submission of proof.

or who contemplate making proof
should bear the above decision in
mind. As this seems to be a different
rulo from what has been heretofore
followed in final proofs on land Ir
Besver county we deemed the mattei
of sufficient importance to give the
same to tho press of the county that ll

possible.

What Not to Say.
An article by Bertha Gaus in the
Now idea Woman's Magazine foi
January takes up the polite art of con-
versation from a negative point of view
The "don'ts" enumerated by the writer
for those wishing to be good talkers
are "Don't tell long stories of personal
experiences. Don't ask trilling
questions. Don't air your prejudices.
Don't'talk of melancholy or gruesome
matters. Don't speak in a low monot-
onous tone. Don't ride conversation
too hard. Don't hinder tho conversa-
tion by trying to bo too accurate over
ueiaus. uoiv gp oacK anu aim appen-
dices to a subject after you have left it.
Don't run one storv into another
Don't stop a discussion by theclinehinj.
use of a proverb. Don't make a ppint
of always agreeing with a speaker
D.on't liarp too long on one string
Don't affect a stilted stylo." Aftei
discussing these prohibitions to talkers-
at come length the writer concludes:
"Still it must be confessed that there
are puiplc who are constitutiouall
incapable of following out these rules
and who in spite of all their violatioi h
are iiiieresungt peopio. iney navt
nativo strength and make their owi
rules of self-expression. They are the
stuff out of which novelists make character-impersonations.
In real life of
in books' they add to gaiety of nations.
But they are not exemplars of the art
of conversation which requires har-
monious balance lit all the give-and-take
of conversational exchange."
