THE l'OPl LA1IO> OK OKLAHOMA CITIES.
Estimates ol the population ot Oklahoma cities ol 8,000 or more, con-
tained in Hulletln No. 122 ot the United States department of commerce,
burertj of the census, furnish some Interesting figures. The arithmetics,
method has been employed to compute the estimates, the annual increase
between 1900 and 1910 being the basis. The land areas of the respective
cities in 1913 are also given.
The estimates for 1914 are as follows: Ardmore, 9,868; Chickasha
13,873: Enid 18,209; Guthrie, 11,911; McAlester, 16,716; Muskogee, 38,309;
Oklahoma City, 83,559: Sapulpa, 11.431: Shawnee, 16,312; Tulsa, 27,634.
The accuracy of this method of computation is shown by the following
figures:
Shawnee: Estimated population. 1910, 12,644; censuB, 12,474.
Oklahoma City: Estimate, 66,163; census, 64,205.
Muskogee: Estimate, 25,722; censuB, 25,278.
Ardmore: Estimate. 8,680; census. 8,618.
„ Chickasha: Estimate, 10,470; census, 10,320.
Guthrie: Estimate, 11,667: census, 11.654. *
* McAlester: Estimate, 13,140; census, 12,964. - * 4 4
Enid: Estimate, 14,017; census, 13,799.
Sapulpa: Estimate, 8,439; census, 8,283. ' * ^' *
Tulsa: Estimate, 18,536; census, 18,182. w* > *"■
Figures on density of population are also Interesting. The population
per square mile of the respective cities is as follows: Shawnee, 7,360;
Tulsc, 6,404; Oklahoma City, 4,672; Muskogee, 4,480; Chickasha, 4,480;
Sapulpa, 4,480; Guthrie, 4.224: McAlester, 2,944; Ardmore, 2,754; Enid,
fcll2. It will be Been from these flgu^ps that Shafnee Is far in the lead
Wi density of population, while Enid shows a considerable per cent below
the others.

A HEALTHY CHANGE IN PUBLIC OPINION.
It is now stafe to say that gambling will be stopped in Tulsa.
Public sentiment is ripe, and ready to hack up theofficlals as it has
never been before, In efforts that all agree are now sincere and honest, in
fulfillment of the promises made before election to put an end to this use-
less and inexcusable drain upon the honest industry of a city.
Apparently the demand for this curBe to the city to be stopped has
sufficient hacking to stop it permanently.
The good name of the city abroad, the welfare of the rising genera-
tion, the cash drawers of many merchants in the city, and good morals
and good government generally, all call for a vigorous carrying out of
this work so well begun. If those who are now claiming they will stand
behind this movement will continue to do bo the result will not be in doubt

BEHMUDl GRASS FOR SOUTHERN STATES.
A bulletin of the United States department of agriculture says:
''In the southern states, on lighter soils, the grasses that are generally
recommended arti not likely to succeed, and bcrmuda grass roots should
b planted on such lawns. On clay soils In the south, especially thOBe that
are In partial shade, the bluegrass-red top mixture should grow satisfac-
torily, but seeding with this had better be delayed until fall.
"Bermuda grass at the first approach of cold weather turns an ugly
brown, so that In those sections of the Bouth where it is used it is best
to sow additional grass seed along In September, such as white clover
and posBlbly Italian rye seed, which will come up and keep the lawn
green all winter and cover the dried np bermuda grass until spring.
Italian rye grass comes up quickly, but does not present as attractive an
appearance as the white clover.
"Farther north the Bermuda grass which. In many southern sections
is the only one that will keep green during the hot months, is regarded
as a weed. In the latitude of Washington the bermuda grass, which turns
brown at the first frost, disfigures many luwns during the greater part of
the fall.
"It Is true that the bermuda grass will stay green when hot suns turn
other grasses brown, hut except In the southern states the bluegrass-red
top mixture, under ordinary circumstances, will keep up the fine appear-
ance of the lawn and offer a much more attractive greenness than the
Bcrmuda "

education will be the keynote of the
| fifty-third assembly of the Southern
I Presbyterian church that convened
| here today. The ad interim committee
on education appointed by the assem-
bly of 1913, Is expected to make
recommendations which, if adopted,

icy of the church.
The report of the ad interim com-
mittee on the proposed union of the
United Presbyterian church and the
Southern Presbyterian church, will
also come before the assembly for

tiring moderator. Upon the election
of a new moderator the Rev. Mr,
Lyons will retire. The assembly will
i close its meeting May 28.

| Law, D. D., of Spartanburg, S. C., the
i stated clerk and the permanent clerk,
Rev. J. D. Leslie of Cisco, Tex.

One day a lad saw a young gosling
struggling in the grasp of a hug€
rat It made a vigorous resistance
but by the time the lad came to the
rescue it was so severely bitten that
it must have soon become its antagon
ist's victim. The youth continued hie
care over it until it recovered from
Its injuries, dressing its wounds every
day. During his attendance on it a
friendship sprang up between them
and the gosling might be seen limping
after him everywhere. The boy de
parted for school, and on his return
home at holiday time was joyfully
recognized by the goose, which showed
Its Joy as plainly as a dog, and at
tached itself to him as before.
He became a man and the gosling
a goose, bat neither of them outlived
their regard for each other. The
grateful bird deserted her feathered
companions as soon as her friend vis
ited his home, and followed him ef
before, and wben the young man was
seized with illness the poor bird be

she knew something was wrong

she made her way to his room, a cor

in his boyhood, and when she heard
his voice she crept under the bed and
Hstablished herself there.—H. A. Page

Origin of the Word News.
The principal of the Hawthorne
grammar school of Oak Park, 111., s
wealthy suburb of Chicago, gave an
exposition of how the word "news'
was originated that is a new one to
the editor. He Btood before his pupils,
and, pointing in each directions, said:
"The word news is made up of the
initials of the four points of the com-
pass and was so made because news
comes from the N orth, the E-ast, the
VV-est and the S-outh." It Is character
istic of newspapers that while the
news of the day's happenings comes
from all points of the compass, so the
idvertlslng columns of newspapers tell
the business news of tbe day as it
happens In all directions from the
centering point of public Information
A person who reads the "news" falls
to get all the news unleBB he also
