THE WEEK'S NEWS
IN
1900 SQUARE MILES IN STATE
WILL BE FREED OF THE
FEVER TICK.
BIG ASSET FOR LIVESTOCK MEN
Northeastern and Central Portions of
Oklahoma Are Included
Other News of the
State.
Approximately 1900 square miles
of territory In Oklahoma will be freed
of the fever tick and placed above the
quarantine lino next September ac-
cording to Dr. F. W. Brewer super-
intendent of the field work of the
United States bureau of animal hus-
bandry. "The territory which will be fin-
ished up on July 1 Includes all of
Ottawa county a part of Delaware
all of Nowata the greater portion of
Washington a portion of Osage and
McClain and the remainder of Grady
and Comanche counties" Dr. Brewer
said.
The work of tick eradication was
started In these counts on July 1
1912.
This will place approximately three-
fourths of the area of Oklahoma above
the quarantine line. When the work
was started in 1906 about half of the
state was free of ticks by reason of
the climatic conditions.
Opposed at Start.
"When we started operations on the
fever ticks in the state of Oklahoma
we were opposed on every side" Dr.
Brewer said "by people who did not
realize what the work was. only see-
ing the first outlay of money required
and not realizing the immense bene-
fit to accrue from having all of the
state cleaned of ticks. Since the
people have become more acquainted
with the work and realize what It
means to them the department has
not been able to furnish enough money
and men to carry on the work in the
localities where it Is wanted.
"The government now has twenty-
two men In the field and the state
five In addition to the men furnished
by the various counties. On July 1
the government force will be Increased
to thirty men the state will put on
several extra men and the various
counties will employ additional men.
"Beginning July 1 1913 the tick
eradication work will be extended In
Delaware county Craig county will
be completed all of Washington will
be cleaned up about half of the re-
maining portion of Osaefj wiW be
cleaned the work extended over about
half of Creek county Rogers county
completed Pottawatomie county fin-
ished up the remaining portions of
McClain Stephens Cotton and Till-
man. At the present rate the work
Is progressing the entire state will be
craned in about five years" Dr.
Bmver said.

Creeks and received the signatures
of Chief Moty Tiger and other prin-
cipal men of the tribe to the declara-

band of fifteen Snake Indians. They
took no part In the ceremonies and

iosity got the better of their prldo
and they crowded close about the

TO TRY IT AT HOBART.
Attorneys for "Swanson County" Will
Not Ask for Writ ofProhlbition.
All the legal questions of the Swan-
son county row will be fought out in
the courts of Kiowa county accord-
ing to attorneys for the Swanson
county ofilclals. The case will be
tried before Judge Tolbert.
Tho temporary restraining order
granted County Attorney J. K. Grif-
fith of Kiowa county enjoining the
Swanson county ofilclals in their at-
tempt to maintain a county organiza-
tion Is to be taken up soon on a
hearing to make the writ permanent.
The hearing on tho permanent writ
was to have been taken up last Sat-
urday but a delay was granted and it
was rumored at the time that counsel
for the Swanson county ofilclals would
apply to the supreme court for a writ
of prohibition. Counsel say that this
will not be done but that the case
will be fought out In the regular
manner.
TO TEST S. ERIFF'S CLAIM.
Kiowa County 'Commissioners Will
Appeal Case to Supreme Court.
Hobart. The case of Louis Terry
sheriff against the county commis-
sioners In which the sheriff was given
judgment a few days ago in the dis-
trict court for $144 for service rend-
ered as jailor tho county commission-
ers have decided on an appeal to the
supremo court in event the motion
for a new trial now pending should
be overruled by Judge Tolbert.
In absence of a jailor the sheriff
claimed under an old statute a dollar
a day as compensation for performing
the duties of that ofilce. The commis
sioners refused payment and Terry
instituted suit obtaining judgment for
the full amount of his claim. As there
is doubt In the minds of the commis-
sioners as to the Intention of the legis-
lature to permit sheriffs to draw this
additional compensation for jail
duties the commissioners have agreed
to appeal the case in order that tho
question may be definitely and finally
settled.

Prettiest That Has Been
Evolved This Year.
This is an ago when olaborato and
expenslvo clothes aro not only permis-
sible but essential to tho small child
who 1b dressed according to fashion's
word. To bo sure piny clothus and
street frocks aro simple even If they
are expensive but afternoon clothes
aro not only expensive they aro olab-
orato aB well.
Tho frock Illustrated is ono of tho
charming accordion-pleated cropo do
chine models made for Uttlo girlB.
Tho dress is simple enough In outline

ered beading sometimes through but-
tonholed slits in tho skirt of tho frack.

of tho flno lawn skirt another band
about tho neck and others about tho
edge of the elbow sleeves. Fino val
laco Is set in below tho embroidery on
tho waist in elaborato design and the
skirt 1b finished with hemstitching.
Shepherd checks in black and white

MADE HAPPY BRIDAL TABLE
Novel Ideas a Feature of Recent Din-
ner May Be Worth Keeping
In tho Memory.
At a dinner given by somo college
lads and lassies to a couplo who had
boon very popular and whoso engage-
ment waB mado during their college
days the following were some of the
novel features: For a centerpiece
there was a good-sized sailboat afloat
on real water which was supposed to
represent tho "Sea of Matrimony" and
tho name on tho boat's Bide was "Just
Launched." Tho two college colors
wero flying and tho cargo consisted of
white roses and red carnations tho
two class flowerB. When tho clear
soup was Borvod- a tiny bark made
of thin bit of tonst with toothplckmast
and papor sail floated in it and tho
ices at tho end wero in tho shapo of
ships tho bonbons wero In tiny
canoes. Tho two class colors wero
also in ovldenco In groat bows of red
and white tarlotan which ndornod
tho chairs occupied by tho honored
guests JTho guests noted as sponsors
for tho happy pair nnd all gave toastB
In honor of tho newly launched craft
which was aptly called "Wo Two" In
a rhyrao read by ono of tho guests.

HEALTH AND GOOD LOOKS
Proper Fitting of Corset Means Ap-
propriate Care of Both Those Im-
portant Items.
Various doctors nnd artists havo
been onco again discussing tho voxed
question as to whethor women should
wear corsets nnd they havo onco
again como to tho lnovltnblo conclu-
sion that if they woar tho right cor-
Bets they aro considerably Improved
by them. If over tho wasp waist as-
sortB Itself again among us It will bo
something to grumble at but tho cor-
set of todny Is really beneficial rathor
than hnimful If It Is properly made
and properly worn. It mny bo that
wo ought not to require the support
of corsets but life in those days Is
artificial and Biirolj it is bettor to
have a good flguro by moans of n good
corset thnn to havo a bad figurO with-
out it.
Just the same a good many women
aro not sufficiently careful about their
corset and then they wondor why
their gowns never look woll. Bettor
a cheap ready-made blouso robe on a
good corset than an olaborato frock
over a shapeless ono. It will not only
bo better from tho point of view of
health and carriage but It will even
give an air to tho gown. French wom-
en havo built up their reputation for
dressing well not on their taato In
gowns but by their attention to tho
corset.
KIMONOS IN ALL DESIGNS
Dainty Negligee Garment May Be Had
In Practically Any Form That Can
Bo Required.
Desplto tho pronounced voguo of
Chinese modes in formal garb tho Jap-
anese kimono remains tho intimate
friend of tho woman who has a col-
lection of dainty lounging robes. For
those cold mornings when the wind
howls outsldo and tho furnace 1b In
Bulky mood thero aro comforting
robes of quilted Japanese silk dainti-
ly haiuL-worked with light and dark
floss. For milder weather thoro aro
adorablo kimonos of flowered satin
with borders of satin or Japanese silk
and somo of these havo tho Bhlrrlngs
nt tho elevated waist lino which
slightly BUggest a blending of tho Em-
piro with tho Oriental stylo. Still
more fascinating aro tho cotton and
silk crepes In white sprinkled over
with pink cherry blossoms and iu
blue or rose printed with graceful
sprays of whlto wistaria. To wear tho
kimono thero should bo a clinging
looso slip of satin In a solid tone
matching either tho grounding or tho
figuring of tho robe. Many women
however prefer to wear the ordinary
princess garment of Seco silk trimmed
with laco ruffles or the ono In whlto
Hngerlo carrying muslin embroidery
Van Dyck point insertions and edg-
ings of Valenciennes laco.

Stolen Hair Means Death.

tho believer in witchcraft still gets
hold of hair nail paringB and bo forth
from an enemy'B head and hands and
burns buries or does something elso
with them in order to entail unpleas-
ant consequences upon that enemy.
And universal folklore reveals the con-
cern of savages to dispose of their
own hair and nail clippings to prevent
an enemy from getting at them. Aus-
tralian native girls who have had a
lock of hair stolen from them expect
speedy death aa a certainty.
