ALL SECTIONS OF STATE
MOVE TO COLONIZE LAND
200,000 Acres of Osage Land Is To Be
Divided in Homesteads
it Is Stated
Pawhuska, Okla.,—A movement to
rolonize the thousands ot acres of
land which were released under the
recent OsaKe bill and which the origi-
nal Osage allottees either are selling
or offering tor sale, has been inaugu-
rated by tne chamber of commerce.
A committee ot large land holders in
the county, has been appointed to in-
vestigate the matter and if feasible
to list and locale available properties.
This will be done with a view to of-
fering the proposition later to a large
colonizing organization.
Under the recent ruling of the de-
partment, following the passage of
the Osage bill, those adult (Usages
who are of half blood or less, who
have their certificates of competency
are permitted to sell their surplus
land, exclusive of their homesteads.
While In many sections the chief
value of these lands to the Osage
tribe is estimated from the stand-
point of oil, nearly half of the land
Is suitable for agricultural purposes
and would furnish good farms for
practical farmers, it Is asid. The
amount of land to be released rests
with the commission which has been
appointed to determine the mpeten-
cy of the holders of allotments.
It is believed however, that the
landH will approximate 200,000 or
300,00 acres. Land for grazing pur-
poses Is bringing from $10 to $30 an
acre and land adapted to agriculture
is bringing from $25 to $(50 an acre.
The sale of these lands do not carry
with them the oil rights which re-
main vested in the Osage tribe until
1956.
SETTLERS HOLD REUNIONS

HARVEST WORK DELAYED
Severe Storm Sweeps Northwestern
Part of State.
Alva.- Harvest in northwest Okla-
homa still iH being hindered by muddy
fields. Farmers were unable to take
machines into the field without mir-
ing down, but had expected to resume
work in earnest soon. A severe
storm swept across this seel von.. Heavy
rains around Hopeton have made even
the roads almost "impassable. A si rip
north of here near the Kansas line
was swept by hail and most of the
wheat which was still standing, was
beaten to the ground.
SUNDAY SHOWS CLOSED
Court Decisions Do Not Affect Mc-
Alester Ordinance, Attorney Says
McAlester, Okla,—Hopes of many
local residents that the recent decis-
ion of the state supreme court anent
the holding of Sunday shows would
prove the opening wedge for a revival
of this form of entertainment here
were blasted when the city attorney
announced that McAlester's ordinance
against this class ot amusement would
hold, and that neither of the two de-
cisions of the court touched the city
statute now in operation.
Thirty-five Bushels to Acre.
Tonca City.—Charles Scott, of the
Braman district claims the distinction
of growing the best field of wheat in
Kay county this season. I’le has be-
tween 200 and 300 acres, which he
niaintains is yielding an average of
thirty-five bushels. The loads of wheat
that he has delivered in town have
tested sixty pounds to the bushel. He
attributes his success to early plow-
ing and having the seed bed -well sea-
soned and prepared.
Sets 50,000 Sweet Spud Plants
Ponca City.—A field ot twenty-five
acres Is being set out to sweet pota-
to plants on the 101 ranch, a total of
from 50,000 to 75,000 plants, according
to Joe C. Miller, the ranch’s agricul-
tural manager. During the many
rainy days of June he lias used his
harvest hands in setting out the po-
tato plants which he obtained by cut-
ting off the vines of a growing crop
and using the vines as sets. The Mil-
lers will install a sweet pot a Jo drying
plant to store the’crop this fall.
Farmers Cut Threshers’ Prices
Ponca City.—Although the price ot
wheat threshing started out at 20
cents a bushel in this locality, farm-
ers in various portions of the county
have met and announced that they will
pay but 15 cents, which they maintain
Is a liberal offer. The first wheat
which was cut, in the vicinity of Pon-
ca City, brought 20 cents to the ma-
chine men. Originally it was under-
stood that the threshers would ask 25
cents a bushel, but with wheat around
$1 a bushel, the farmers declared
against such a price.

Ice companies in five towns of the
state on learning that the corporation
commission was launching an investi-
gation of the costs of the business, re
duced prices voluntarily, according to

Knitted Blouse
and Dress Here
Among the special tilings that I’nrls
bus provided for summer wear are
beautiful sweaters in artificial silk,
silk and wool and in silk and metal.
From a standpoint of fashion, observes
a correspondent, woman will not accept
i lie mannish sports sweater. 'tlie
smart PariRieiiiio wants something
more dressy and more becoming. With
Iwr the sweater blouse Is worn to
take I lie place of n lingerie or silk

quently It Is not nearly so much of u

A well known designer in I’nrls, who
was at one time a premiere In one
of tlie big dressmaking shops, lias es-
tnldished herself as an authoritative
creator of tlie best mid most artistic

lius placed her models successfully
with prominent dressmakers who are
receiving a great many orders for
them.
Some of tlie best of these models.
Just received from Paris, nre all of
the Unified blouse type.
We have had knitted blouses and
knitted dresses for some time, but
hey, like everything else, are one of
he things which fashion takes up ens-
ally and as casually lays aside, until
nine (lay one of th/?se hitherto cnreless-
r considered articles of dress sudden-

listlc sponsors hoped for. There Is
very indication that the knitted blouse

Tailored Suits in Small Gray Checks. ,
Although French women recently
lave shown an unusual amount of on- |
husinsm over certain types of tailored
nits, their conception of a sport
ult Is quite different from that of
he English woman or the American.
The Parlsleiine likes the soft woolens

Silk With Metal and Wool.
Heavy silk sweuiers recently lm-
ported by prominent American firms
have wool used In combination with tlie
silk in an altogether new way. I have
hi mind a model of this sort which is
knitted of corn-colored silk. The wool
takes the form of a varl-eolored fhfral

ing sleeves and the bottom.
The lovely yellow and stiver

WATCH FOR STOMACH WORMS
Sheep Raisers Should Practice Every
Known Preventive Measure
and Use Remedy.
(Prepared by the United Stales Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
With the approach of wurm weather
sheep raisers are warned by special-
ists of the United States Department
of Agriculture to watch for stomach
worms and put into practice every
known preventive measure. Tlie
stomach worm, they say, is one of tlie
most serious parasites- of sheep, oc-
curring over almost the entire world
where there nre sheep, cattle and oth-
er suitable host animals. In the
United States it Is most plentiful In
llie South, where it is favored by
abundance of warmth and moisture,
but It is also quite common and seri-
ous in the Middle West and in low,
wet areas throughout the entire coun-
try. It is present In smaller numbers
and does less damage in the high, dry
and cool areus of the Rocky mountain
states.
Tlie first things noticed about sheep
infested with stomach worms are dull-
ness and lack of thrift. letter the skin
becomes pale, ns do ihe linings of the
mouth and eyelids, which is due to Im-
poverishment of the blood from the
bloodsucking habit of the worms. In-
fested sheep also may have a swell-
ing under the Jaw, known as “bottle
jaw.”
Stomach-worm Infection Is spread
by the droppings of infested stieep.
The eggs of tlie parasites In the drop-
pings hatch out and tlie young worms,
which are microscopic In size, crawl
up grass blades and are swallowed by
sheep as they graze. In the stomach
the worms become mature in about
three weeks. If the fourth stomach,
or rennet, of an Infested sheep or
lamb he examined soon after death,
the stomach worms can be seen
squirming about, slender, reddish in
color, about an Inch long.
A satisfactory remedy for this dis-
ease if used in time, tlie specialists

and bottom and forming the belt. The
metal is knitted in the front in u
rather complicated way.
Reverting to the type of suit re-
ferred to previously as being one
which lins taken a tremendous hold
on tin* public taste at the present
time, it is Interesting not only as a
fashion but as illustrative of the con-
tinuously varying demand which, gives
rise to tlie mushroom success from
time to time of quite obscure dress-
makers and the equally sudden fall
of others in tlie proportion that they
are able to create u new type or popu-
larize an old one at the crucial mo-
ment when that particular style hap-
pens, for some reason or another, to
please the public to an unusual de-
gree.
At the present time O’Rossen. the
tailor, is a big competitor of the dress-
maker. There is nothing striking about
the suit which has been his greatest
success. It consists of a straight skirt
and a coat almost exactly like the
oldtime riding-habit Jacket with snug-
fitting coat sleeves, small collar and
long rovers to tlu* waistline where one
button is placed in link form. Tlie
coat lias a slight Hare. To be abso-
lutely what is demanded at the mo-
ment the suit must he of n lightweight
Iron gray checked material, the checks
j being so. small that they are almost in-

Vest Blouse Comes Into Prominence.
Tlie popularity of the suit, of course,
creates a like demand for blouses.
This is always welcome news to tlie
Mouse makers, who, having the vari-
able winds of fashion so seldom fill
their sails during the lust few years,
are op the alert to take advantage.of,
everything that will stimulate their
business. Consequently they are bend-
ing all their energies toward creating
pleasing models.
The great popularity of tlie tailored
suit brings into unusual prominence
tlie vest blouse. All of the smart shops
now nre specializing in tliC.se, and
among the most chic of tlie recent
models Is the gilet blouse, the front
of which Is developed in soft pearl
gray kid embroidered in blue. It has
the hack and sleeves of pearl gray
georgette.
In almost every instance the gilet
blouse has the back and sleeves of
a contrasting material, usually of a
sheerer fabric than thnt used for tlie
front. Double-breasted vest blouses
of the mannish type have fronts of
embroidered linen with sleeves and
back of sheer organdie.

sort from white satin and embrol-

TOO LADYLIKE FOR “GRAMPA”
Old Gentleman Couldn’t Recall Sailor*
in His Time Doing Anything
Like Skipping Rope.
Grnmpa served in the npvy quite a
while ago—under Admiral Farragut or
John Puul Jones or some of those per-
sons. In those days, you remember,
ail sailors wore Horace Greeley
whiskers and had either a profane
parrot, a wooden leg or a girl in every
port. Grampa’s granddaughter, Cor-
delia May, keeps company with a ma-
chinist’s mate, first class, on the de-
stroyer Dyer, now with the other de-
stroyers In tlie Hudson river.
His name Is Buck.
Buck thought Cordelia May would
like It if he invited Grampa to come
along with her to visit the Dyer. Cor-
delia May didn’t like It at all, as a
matter of fact, but Grampa accepted
with alacrity.
•How’d you like It, Pn?” inquired
Cordelia May’s mother, when Grampa
got back borne. “Djhave a good time?”
“I did not,” said Grampa.
“What did Cordelia May do?” Ma
thought she knew right awny where
to hang the guilt. But she wns wrong.
“She didn’t do nothin’ except gawk
at that lubber of her’n,” said Grnmpa,
“but the navy’s gone t’hell, that’s
what.”
“No such a thing,” demurred Ma.
“They leave here first o’ May for New-
port, an’ you heard Buck say that your-
self.”
“Sissies! Old ladles! Milk an’ wa-
ter boys I” Graihpa exploded. “Why,
Mary, guess what the first tiling 1 saw
on thnt frigate was?”
Ma had never served on a destroyer,
so, of course, couldn’t guess.
“Why, I see a great big lub of n lad
and what was he doin’ hut sklppln’
rope! Sklppln’ rope, mind ye! A
6ailor skippin’ rope! 1 looked about
me expecting to find the rest of the
crew playin’ postofflee with one an-
other. Skippin’ rope!”
Gyarnpa groaned at the thought.
Buck meanwhile had arrived and
overheard. He gave the loud, raucous
laugh of a machinist's mnte, first class,
who is nmused at something.
“Don’t say a word to him.” he cau-
tioned Ma and Cordelia May later,
when Grnmpn had gone to bed to
dream of John Paul Jones playing tid-
dlywinks with Admiral Farragut on a
rose-bedecked battleship. “Don’t say
a word, hut the guy he saw skipping
rope is Soakem Slocum, the heavy-
weight champion of the flotilla. He’#

say. Is a 1 per cent solution of cop-
per sulphate in water. A dose which
has been found satisfactory is 100
mils (about three ounces) for yenrllng
and older sheep, and half as much for
lambs three months old or older. To
make this solution, dissolve one-fourth
pound of copper sulphate in one pint
of boiling water, then add cold water
to make n total of three go'Ious of
the solution. This amount Is sufficient
to treat 100 adult sheep. The use of
this remedy once a month during the
grazing season will prevent or great-
ly reduce losses from stomach worms.
Young animals and uninfested
sheep should be separated from older
or infested animals. Pastures which
have been used by infested animals
nre dangerous to young animals and
uninfested ones. The first essential
in preventive measures is to protect
young animals, for they nre more sus-
ceptible to parasitic infestation than
older ones. Consequently, the safest
pasture should he furnished to the
lambs, thp older sheep taking the more
dangerous land, where It is necessary
for sheep to go back to old pasture
within a year.
In a plan of rotating pastures to
keep down stomach worms, the sheep
may be moved over cornfields, hay-
fields and stubbie of various sorts.
When different kinds of stock are ro-
tated on pastures, sheep may safely
follow horses or swine, but not cat-
tle or goats, as the latter mny be In-
fested with stomach worms and a
number of other worms common to
sheep, goats and cattle.
Says Americans Avoid Sunlight.
One feature struck me in the schools,
and it also struck me In the hotels nnd
in private houses, and thnt Is the
avoidance of sunlight. A well-conduct-
ed window in America must have lace
curtains drawn across It, and two
blinds, one brown nnd one green,
pulled accurately half-way down.
Even In the great country houses,
wheredno one (*oul(l *look in, »*nd no
one look out without seeing spacious
lawns and flower beds, the curtains
are closed and the blinds nre drawn
half-way down. Living in them Is like
living In the house of an owner who is
half dead.
The electric light is all the time
turned on full. Even in the hotels if
you leave your room for half an hour,
having raised your blinds, you will
find them carefully drawn down again
on returning. The large number of
folks—clerks in offices, workers In fac-
tories, attendants on elevators, bell-
boys nnd hotel clerks—who live their
life in artificial light forms a large
percentage of the population, and this
absence of out-door life may account
to some extent for the pullid and sal-
low complexion of those who have to
endure It. It certninly cannot be
healthy.—Sir Arthur E. Shipley in the
Outlook.
Didn’t Do the Expected.
“It is hnrd to forecast what a per-
son will do or say under stress,” said
a former army officer.
“We were taking a troop train
through a town in Kentucky during
the war, when a sergeant came up to
me and said that the town wns the
home of one of the men, who hud been
married just before he joined the army,
and that if we were going to stop for
any length of time, perhaps the man
In question might be permitted to see

USE CARE IN WORKING COLTS
Heavy Pulling Is Liable to Result In
Sweeney—Wasting of Mus-
cles la Symptom.
Colts should be put to work very
gradually, especially in the ease of
plowing, as heavy pulling at this stage
is apt to result tn sweeney. The first
symptom usually is a wasting away
of the muscles on the outside of the
shoulder blade, the skin seemingly
growing fast to the bone.
Boot Solea Fertilizer*.
Many devices have been “suggested
for the utilization of old army boot
soles, the chief being concerned with
fuel production. But a periodical, the
Fertilizer, proposes to use them for
stimulating the growth of beans and
peas.
Tlie plan suggested Is that of car-
bonizing part of the leather into lamp-
black and extracting sulphate of am-
monia from the residue.
