dons is alright up to the present time.
Moving westward to the main line
OF he Rock Island railway, | learn that
in Grant and Garfield counties the
condition Of wheat is good. while King
fisher, Blaine and Canadian counties
conditions are only fair
In all of the region | have nameC
the wheat can get along without rail

serious damage
In all of the counties lying ives

is poor and only about sixty per cen
Of crop will be raised"

TO PREVENT sLAcKLEe.
Losses From the Disease Are Frequent
Despite Liherality.

Special to Daily Leader
saltwater, Okla, March 24.-In spite
of the fact that for more than four
years. the experiment station at Still
wafer has, without charge, supplied
vaccine for the prevention os lackleg
in cattle to all citizens Of Oklahoma
who requested it. losses from this pre-
ventible disease are frequent. The
operation Of vaccination is simple and
the results are satisfactory, losses in
most cases being stopped at once.
The station has issued bulletin de
scribing blackleg and the easy way in
which 1t may be prevented and seeks
the cooperation Of all in stamping out
this disease. All that citizens of Ok
lahoma have to do to procure as much
vaccine as they wish is to write to the
experiment station at Saltwater stat
ing how many cattle are to be vac
cinated and that the one making the
request is the owner of the cattle All
cattle under two years of age should
be vaccinated once In every sil
months and all cattle dead from black
lleg should be burned or buried at ono,

Rau Ruus Revived.

A new field for women-or, rather,
an old one revived-is due to some
clever decorators discovery that moth
ing goes so well with mission furni-
ture as rag rugs. The new rag rug
is a different thing from that of our
grandmothers time, however. 1t is
made of new materials, not rags" at
all. Several rugs recently put on the
market are of one kind of fabric cut
into strips and beautifully woven.
Those rugs which have several kinds
of rags" in them show distinct pat
tern in stripes, and the effect of both
designs is very good, inasmuch as the
weave is different from that by the
looms of other days. AS these rugs
are shown lying on the floor before a
mission furniture desk or under a mis-
sion chair before the hearthstone the
look of them is so quaint and pretty
that the woman buying her summer
cottage furnishings is usually capt.
yated at once.

Pleated Bolero.

.Jaunty little jackets of all sorts are
TO be noted among the smartest and
latest models. but no one of them all
is more attractive than the pleated
bolero with wide sleeves Of elbow
length. This very excellent example Is
made of taffSta and trimmed with silk
braid. but is adapted TO all seasonable
materials, while the trimming can be
varied again and again, and. when
liked. the entire stole and collar can
be of lace or applique. or various other
devices can be employed for further
celebrating the design.
The bolero consists of fronts, back
and sleeves. The back is laid in a
broad box pleat at the centre with out

BEDROOM Convenienees.

In order that the furnishing OF her
bedroom may be complete every WON
an should have shot bag, hair receiv-
er, clothes bag, brush rack and para
sol-holder fastened in some convenient
place in the room.
1t is best to tack the shoe bag and
parasol case one above the other on
the inside of the closet door, OF, If the
apartment lacks that luxury, use the
bedroom door as second choice. All
of these articles can be made at
home, paper patterns with directions
of how to put the pieces together be
ing obtainable at any store where
patterns are sold.
Three yards of some pretty pompa
dour cretonne. with braid to match
will make a charming receptacle fol-
slippers. rubbers and high boots. The
bag should be half yard in width and
extend across the three panels of the
door. BY means Of the braid it Is
divided into four or five separate
cases. The pasasol holder is made
in a similar manner, only long and
narrow.

In the Days Gone By

An interesting woman of SO years
assures a writer in Harper's Bazaar
that when she was young it vas an
unheard of thing for a woman to go
to bank alone. When business made
such a visit an absolute necessity she
was always escorted by a male rela-
tive. and as quickly as possible snug
gled into the private Offices and thus
secured from public gaze! For some
reason, which 1t Is now difficult to
fathom, druggists or "apothecary's"
shop, as 1t was called then, came un-
der the same ban. No gentlewoman
could go alone or even with another
OF her own sex to any public eating
house or tavern. When the girls of
that time went to town shopping they
probably took few crackers in their
reticules to stave off starvation. There
we're also severe though unwritten laws
as to which side of street a woman
might walk upon at certain hours of
the day, etc, but these seem, like
modern city ordinances. to have var
led with locality. The authority just
quoted says that in her native town
no gentlwoman could be seen in the
business streets after II o'clock in
the morning.

Rubies Are Favorite Gems.


Almost every woman has her favor.
lite jewel, and by no means are all the
gems the most expensive kind.
1t is said that Queen victorias fav.
orite jewel was pendant of white
enamelled swans, and she never at
any time appeared without it, says
the New York Evening Telegram.
She was also very fond of rubies, and
possessed many of the Burmah stones,
whose color is the pure red known as
pigeon blood. Some idea of the value
of rubies can be formed when it is
known that a Burmah ruby of four
carats has brought more than $4,000.
Other women who are exceedingly
fond of the pigeon blood ruby are Mrs
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Mrs. Bradley
Martin, who has a beautiful necklace
set with them which was once worn
by Marie Antoinette; Mrs. Mackay,
Mrs Langtry and the Duchess Dues.
all of whom have some rarely beauti-
ful stones of this sort. These are
probably as fine as any outside Of
those included in the crown je wells.
Next to the Burmah ruby comes the
Siam. This country, which adjoins
Burmah, produces the dark colored
rubies, which though beautiful are not
considered as choice as the Burmah
stones and bring very much less. The
Ceylon ruby seems almost a different
stone from its light color and wonder
ful brllliancy. 1t is said that the i'm.
portation of gems and pearls to this
country for the past 20 years reaches
more than s4O0,O0OO00.
when you realize" says a we'll
known connoisseur of gems, that ev-
cry dollar remains in the country as
permanent wealth 1t gives an idea of
the manner in which the wearing Of
jewels enriches the country.
"Emeralds have advanced more dur
ing the past few years than any 9th
er stone. and you often hear of an
emerald being sold at from $1,000 to
$4,000 a carat. and not perfect at that.
To-day pearls are perhaps more in
demand than other stones. and while
some of the beds worked out, others

been given for the pearl bearing null
lusks to grow and produce.
When It is understood that it takes
many years for a pearl mullusk to
produce a pearl, during which time
the oyster stands the chance OF being
eaten by some sea creature, killed by
disease or washed out to sea where
it is too deep to. dive for it, one can
understand why the price of pearls
must constantly increase and why it
is SO difficult to obtain many of large
size.
I'm all markets of Europe today a
round pearl over 60 grains, of fine
lustre and color. is almost unheard of,
and a merchant would travel many
miles to buy It. The demand for
pearls is constantly growing and there
seems no safer investment today than
collection, which may, if bought
judiciously. in a few years time be
worth double their present value"

As TO Hardwood Floors.

The best hardwood floors for every.
day usage are those which are either
waXed or oiled. A floor that Is shell
lacked, as a great many hardwood
floors are, does not wear well, says the
Chicago News. 1t shows the marks
of boot nails and is easily scratched.
Unless it is carefully covered with
rugs. it is as much of nuisance as
carpeting. The waxed floor is really
the ideal floor for all rooms except
the kitchen. The ordinary oil floor
is the best for the kitchen, where
there is so much hard usage. 1t does
not show boot marks and can be easi.
ly washed. 1t will often remain un.
der ordinary conditions very clean
and neat looking for half a year or

You .don't see as many open'work
stockings as you did last year. Oh,
yes, skirts blow round the ankles just
as airily but the very ethereal hose
isn't there to see. Cause why? Well,
for one thing. it had shocking man.
ner of letting dust and dirt slip in
through it's airy meshes. 1t wasn't
half so neat as a plain silk stocking,
which is Just as cool and really
makes the ankle look much trimmer.
In fact. the very thin. fine silk stock
ing quite plain except for some hand
embroidery. is the trimmest and
dalntlest thing a woman can put On
her feet. And it is in the highest ap-
proval this year.
