WHAT DR. CARR SAID
Regarding the Instituting of a Y. M.
C. A. Home.
Thanking you for tho honor con-
ferred In being called to preside over
this meeting It Is In order to statu Its
object and some of the reasons for a
united nnd persistent effort at
the present tlrao In tho or-
ganization of a Y. Mi C. A. Our city
Is ripe for this endeavor. We have a
population of about 12000 numbers of
strangers are coming to us dally.
Our population Is largely young per-
sons away from homo old associations
and tho friends of other days and
places without a place for the culti-
vation lot social relations for rest or
road In g.
Who cares for the young man that
comes to our town to make his homo
with us? Who takes him by tho band
to help blm to a better nnd a nobler
life? Who tries to mako him forget
that he Is a stranger In a strange
place? Whu tries to mako him to
feel at home that he will not remember
to bo homo-sick? Who takes him by
the hand to give htm a social evening
in his home? Who leads him to tho
houso" of worship? Lonely neglected
young man to bo pitied because none
caro for him but the man with n snare.
Wo nocuThls organization for tho caro
and protection of our own youths for
a relief aud a blessing to the stran-
gers that como to mako their home

How Much Salary Do You Get?
That Is a very important question when you zo to figure up
what your expenses are and how much you will have spent after
all necessaries are paid for. You probably need some few pieces
of furniture and after you have bought them of R. A Jones you
will not have to pay for them only as you are able say at the rate
of two or three dollars per month. Consider this matterl There
are thousands of persons buying this way every day and you may
as well be Retting the benefit of easy payments as they. If you
have never tried this plan let me show you how easy It Is to pay
for goods you really need and you hardly miss the money. You
can furnish your home at R. A. Jones and pay by the week or
month as suits your convenience.

The cotton ginned In tho Territories

able Now Numbers 30.
A great deal of Interest Is being

men's Clubs In Muskogee Nov. 8 9

tory will bo represented. Muskogco Isi
making elaborate preparations for tho'
entertnlnment of the guests nnd tho

Ins well as a most Important event
for Territory club women.
Prior to last December the clubs of
Indian Territory wcro federated with
the Oklahoma clubs but now tho1
Indian Territory organization Is sep-'
arate nnd apart from the Oklahoma '
'federation. The Indian Territory Fed-1
oration of Women's Clubs wns organ-1
Ized Dec. 10. 1003 nnd has grown even
beyond the most snngulno hopes of
Its charter members. Where eleven
dubs filed credentials at the organiza-
tion of the tedcratlon less than one
year ago. the federation has today n ;
membership of thirty clubs. '
The president of Indian Territory
Federation is Mrs. Michael Conlan of
Atokn. Mrs. Colan has been nshoctnl1
ed with club work many years.
I The federation members nre very
enthusiastic over the work. "Thcro
can be no greater field of opportunity"
said Mrs. Conlan In speaking of tho j
federation recently "for the true club
'women whoso watch-word Is 'progress'
than in Indian Territory whose fu-
ture destiny depends upon tho Influ-
ence exerted during the next few years.
Believing that tho Territory's In-
terests could bo best savcu by form
ing nn Independent federation of clubs
'this was done with whnt excellent re-1
suit the coming first annual meeting.
I will prove. Tho work that wc will
take up pertains to tho most vttat
Iquestkjns that will affect Indian Ter-
ritory the cultivation of sentiment
nlong all linos nnd of nil that con-
cerns tho upbuilding of better homes
nnd the good of humanity. In a word
the club women of Indian Territory
will stand for nil that Is for the better-
ment of its people and wo want to use
our woman's inlluenco throughout this
Territory In n way that will bring
?ood fruit. Tho first convention will
bo devoted for tho greater part to out-
lining tho work for tho coming year
and to the reports of standing commit-
tees on education literature house-
hold economics club extension law
'philanthropy nnd reform civics hls-
tory. library extension art and music
for so wide Is tho scopo of our work.
We nro thoroughly In earnest quite
enthsulastlc and arc prepared to work
bard for the results that wo aro de-
termined shall bo brought nbout by
the Indlnn Territory Federation o
Women's Clubs.
j Tho Indian Territory Federation has
attracted tho Interest of club women
