SCRAMBLE FOR LEASES.
school Land Department Reports =
Rush OF Business.

Oklahoma Is prosperous and the
correspondent OF the Kansas City Star
is right when he says that the common
schools are sharing the general pros
perity.
Fully $4,000 will be spportioned
among the school districts January Is,
next This will be more than twice
the largest amount ever before apPor
toned, the previous high water mark
having been S42, coo, January l, 1925.
There will be more than 81 for each
child OF school age, the estimated num-
bar being ss 600 This money will be
received by the school land Office for the
six months between July IS OF the
current year and January is next, and
does not include about $50, 600 which
is to be divided between the territorial
university and the puGic building
| fund The amount apportioned among
the common schools last July was
s93 063 30, or about twentY-siX cents
per capita.
Charles Filson, secretary OF the
school land board, said recently that
the scramble by farmers for school
lands was nprecedented. In the
Cherokee strip there were probably
not to exceed half dozen lessees who
failed TO renew their loases, all paying
much higher rentals. School land Sec
tions that rented last year from $50 TO
s75 each, readily brought from $3.50 to
Sl75 each this year, while some were
rented for $3.50. There we're not more
than dozen leases in all Oklahoma
that we're not renewed. Good crops
were the cause.
There is much to show that Okla
homa's population has been greatly
inceased this fall Heretofore the
school land leases in ranges 10 IL, ~
and l3 were practically untouched.
Nearly all are now occupied by lessees,
more than 800 new leases having been
made These quarter sections rent at
about s25 year. All school lands
west OF range IA are leased Ia sections
for grazing purposes at q minimum OF
s3s year All the old leases have
been renewed and fully thirty FIVE new
leases made MANY OF these leases
are in the southwestern portion OF the
territory.
The school land revenue next year
will be unusually large Fully $500
lessees notes will fall due in October,
aggregAting more than $3.50. 600, aud
representing the income Of only siS
months
Money from collections continues 10
pour rapidly into the school land of
fee. The SlO0, 600 mentioned a few
days ago as deposited to the credit o.
Governor NJ Barnes, chairman o
the school land board, has increased L
nearly Sl2O 600.
Secretary Filson said "The schoo
land board can now give prospectiv,
lessees positive assurance OF full pro
lection in buying the rights OF ol'
lessees. II is strictly exacted, however
that all outstanding obligations shal
be removed when the new lessee take
possession.

NJ b. Curtis gave the stage two new
heroes when he created "Saml OF
Posen," loveAble Hebrew and an
ideal drummer Before 'Sam'P
Plastrick made his debut there was
no Jewish character on the stage free
from the stain Of binding avarice and
most Of them were gross and grovel-
ing. There were Jolly drummers ga
lore, but their love of fun predomi-
mated over their love of humanity; the
stage drummer was lmpudent and
shallow as the stage Hebrew was
avariclous aud coarse, both were
warped, unreal characters devoid OF
all the sense of lSinship with mankind
without which 70 character is attrac-
tive Curtis wisely enveloped his
Hebrew peddler and drummer with
charming personality, His thoughts
are pure and his emotions are noble,
even when he wants to sell a collar
button or buy diamond stud for
"helluf dollar" he proves that man
can be shrewd without being false
rapid without being fast, and that the
commercial world has it's heroes even
among the Hebrew people. The name
OF the play is as familiar as is that OF
Curtis who in many respects is Sam
OF Posen." In his eighteenth annual
tour the original "SAml of Posen'
will visit this city next Tuesday, Nov,
30. Mr. Curtis has secured the largest
strongest and best company that ever
presented his famous comedy.
