.THRESHERS
ARE BEING
ORGANIZED
New Thing Is Association of
Threshermen in Lodges.
MAY BE A GOOD THING
For the Organizers and Posi-
bly, the Lodge.
MAY BE A GOOD THING

Guthrie, o. T., April 15.-L. o. Miesse OF
Chicago and James Winters Of Salina
Kansas. have been in the city for several
days for the purpose of organizing q
lodge in Logan county of the Thresher-
mems National Protective Association
I Lodges are being organized over all parts
| of Oklahoma, the first work being done in
Grant county. A lodge was organized in
| Oklahoma county with forty members.
This organization was started some time
ago in the northern wheat growing states,
and ii is supposed to be for the best in
| terests of the threshermen. Prices will be
regulated, supplies furnished at lower
prices and if there is anything in the way
of legislation desired it will be asked for
by the lodge.
In reality the lodge is something of a
trust" for the farmer. under the pro-
visions of the lodge, will pay the prices
demanded, or else buy threshing ma
chine of his own.
Several machine men have been here,
who are interested in the organization of
the lodge.
1t is asserted that c. +. Miesse of Chi
cago is at the head of the threshermen's s
organization and that l.. o. Miesse, who
is working Oklahoma is brother of the
head man. If C. E. Miesse is at the head
of the lodge many Oklahoma people will
remember an organization of which he
was vice president. This was the Ma
tional Educational company of Chicago.
which sent men to Oklahoma to sell Ian
guage and music charts for use in schools
There are many letters on file in Superin-
tendent BaXter's Office relative to the
manner in which contracts for thesa
charts were secured. In some cases doc
uments were shown where the board of
education for the territory was alleged
to have ordered school districts to pur-
goods and none other. Again, susceptible
school board members were informed
that the Legislature had enacted a law
compelling the districts to purchase the
charts. Believing this, contracts were
made and the warrant issued In many
cases, it is asserted that the charts were
not delivered, even after warrants were is
sued in payment of the amount agreed
upon.
So numerous were the reported cases
that the board of education through Su-
perintendent Baxter wrote letters to the
county superntendents informing them
of conditions and suggesting that they
have nothing to do with the educational
company. He also wrote the company
requesting them to KEEP out of the terri
tory
Said man today who knew of the busi-
ness of the educational company and of
the threshermen's lodge: Il am satisfied
that the c. E. Miesse connected with the
lodge is the same Miesse that helped
work the territory on the chart business
If 1t is the same outfit the threshermen
had better watch things closely"
There is a case now on in which Wash
ita school warrants are tied up on account
of alleged fraud on the part of the edu-
cational company

TEXT BOOK
LAW WILL
NOT DOWN
Now the Bonk Concerns are
to Establish Agencies.
TEACHERS TO BE USED
Ferguson Is Bitterly Opposed
to Any Graft.

Guthrie. o. T., April 15.-It is stated
here upon what is considered good au-
thority that a well known text book con-
GEM is behind a movement to establish
a teachers agency in Oklahoma City for
the purpose of placing teachers in good
positions throughout the territory. The
proposed plan is for the payment of a
registration fee when the teachers names
are placed upon the agency books. If a
position is secured for q teached a GER
tain amount of money. or per cent, is TO
be paid TO the agency for the services rem
dered. Two representatives of the COM
pany, alleged to be behind the movement.
are in the territory. One of them has
been in Guthrie looking up text book mat
ters ana the other man is said to be de-
voting his time to the agency PROPOSE
ton.
This alleged plan of procedure upon
the part of the company is only another
method of gaining ground in the contest
for book contracts in the territory. Since
there is no text book law, other coompa-
nies can compete with the American Book
company. The American Book company
held the former contract and had a mo-
nopoly of the text book business, by the
provisions of the law. 1t is supposed
that if teachers are in favor OF using
books handled by the company they will
be located in schools where vacancies
exist. Should teachers place their names
On the books of the agency and are
known to be favorable to the use OF
American Book company or other con-
Germs text books it is believed that other
teachers will have the advantage over
these persons. Should a company place
many teachers in responsible positions
it would certainly give ii a prestige and
pull in securing business in Oklahoma
Governor Ferguson 81 decidedly opposed
to teachers agencies when it comes TO
the territorial institutions. When in
formed that a plan had been placed on
foot to establish an Oklahoma teachers
agency he said:
Persons making application for posi-
tions in the territorial educational insti-
tutions having the direct recommenda-
tions of teachers agencies will find that
their applications will not be considered.
In some instances reported in this terri
tory teachers have been placed in posi-
tions and have been compelled to pay
3 per cent of their salary to the agency
for a certain period. AS far as the terri
torial institutions are concerned this mat
ter can be controlled, but when it comes
TO positions in county schools, the agency
can do business with the teachers"

Men May Go Back to Work Pending
Settlement

Buffalo, April 15.-The executive COM
mittee of the Marine Firemen, Oilers and
Water Nnders' association was in secret
session here tonight, and it is now said
to be possible that the strike on the
Great Lakes may be called off before the

authority tonight that the union had
submitted to a vote the question of de-
claring the strike off and returning TO
work at the scale of wages offered by
the association, s25 per month, pending a
settlement of the dispute by arbitration.
Beginning tomorrow, if the strike is
not declared off, the police patrol boat
will meet every vessel that enters the
harbor. If the non-union men desire 10
go up town. they will be provided with
police protection on shore. Union pick
cts will be prevented from boarding in
coming vessels if the captains want them

NO UNCERTAINTY ABOUT IT
Paine's Celery
Compound
The Wondrous Spring System
Cleanser and Health Builder
Makes Sick People Well.
1t is a Heaven-Sent Blessing
to Disease Burdened
Men and Women.

There is nothing doubtful or uncertain
about the working and effects of Paine s
Celery Compound. 1t stands supreme as
a spring system cleanser and health
builder. 1t reaches without loss of
precious time the cause of sickness and
disease in a way that no other remedy
can do. It's first and most important mis-
sion is the publication of the life stream
increasing its volume and quality. 1t then
stirs all the organs that work slug
gishly. It restores strength, renews vital
ity, regulates the kidneys. liver and
bowels. and makes people we'll and strong
For these reasons Paine's Celery Com
pound as a spring medicine stands far
above all other prescriptions and rem
edies that promise so much and accom-
plish so little. Mrs r. O. Starkey Jack
son, Mich, says
For many years I suffered more than
tongue can tell from eczema and blood
troubles. In the spring season my agonios
and distress were increased, and l often
wished to die. Boils and pimples added
to my sufferings. and for weeks / was not
fit to be seen. Doctors afforded me but
small relief. / spent scores of dollars for
advertised medicines, but got no cure
from them. l got hold Of one of your
books and read about a lady who had
been afflicted as ! was and cured by
Paine's Celery Compound. l procured a
bottle of your Compound without delay
and began to use it. After / used the
third bottle, / experienced a blessed
change. the eczema and eruptions were
disappearing. So happy was l that 1 cor
tinued with the medicine till my face and
body were clear and smooth. / am a new
woman in every respect. l am now we'll
and strong, and believe the cure is per-
manent one. May heaven bless you in
your work of doing good 10 suffering

REDUCES THE HOURS.
Choctaw Raised Wages, Now Shortens
Workind Dav

Shawnee. o. T, April IA new order
was posted in the shops of the Choctaw
at this place Saturday, effective at once,
reducing the number of hours from ten
10 nine per day, and from nine to eight
on Saturdays. The order affects the ma
chinists. boilermakers, blacksmiths and
their helpers. The company recently
granted an increase in wages, regulated
by the hours. and the reduction Of the
number of working hours per day is not
generally satisfactory. as the loss of one
hour per day more than offsets the in
crease in wages of from one to two cents
per hour.
