The tide of emigration has flowed
to the West and Northwest. I'm.
migrants have avoided the South.
But the western trend is evidently
soon to be changed TO the South and
Southwest. A more liberal senti-
ment is growing among the south
erners.F who now begin to see the
advantages of securing large addi-
tons to their population. The south
is undeveloped. It's resources are
ample.

escaped with their lives. Conduc-

When the fire alarm sounded, he

about the pocket book in the rush
and that article with its contents
was a prey TO the flames.

Banquet to The VictOTs
The Occident Society Entertain
Their conquerors in a
Generous Man
ler

The Orient society of the high
schoolscored a victory over their op
ponents, the Oecidents, in the con
test which recently closed, but the
Occidents came off more than con-
querors in the splendid entertain
ment which they provided for the
Orient Saturday night. Without
the slightest show of resentment, in
the most magnamimous spirit, they
graciously acknowledged their de-
feat and entertained their late foes
in the most royal style.
The banquet was held in the
Hamilton building, 9th and Iowa,
formerly used as the high school
building. All the members Of the
high school were invited, together
with the teachers, members Of the
board Of education and those who
had acted as judges in the con
test.
The rooms Of the building were
brilliantly lighted and in every way
properly prepared for the occasion.
Ii was a lively scene that was pre-
scented, the laughter, songs, light
hearts and merry voices blending in
a manner that made the hearts Of
older guests glow with youthful
emotions and brought back mem,
ories Of bygone days.

school is a body Of which we may
well be proud and the school spirit

Problem

A Chickasha railroad man hands
us the following interesting pro-
blem. We have no intention of
precipitating another How old is
Ann3" discussion The problem is
not as easy as it looks. Send us
your answer. We will publish the
solution in a few days.
We will say that there is a rail-
road between Chicago and New
York which operatesa a double track
and run a passenger train out Of
each of these cities ever hour, and
that it takes rexactly twenty-four
hours to make the trip Between the
two cities, and we will say that
this schedule has been in operation
for thirty days. The proposition
is that we leave say Chicago to-day
at twelve o'clock noou and arrive
in New York at twelve O'Clock
noon tomorrow.
How many trains do we pass or
as railroad men would say how
many trains do we meet on the
track from Chicago to New York.
1t should be remembered that these
trains all run exactly alike, at the
same rate Of speed, and that when
the train arrives at the destination
it has taken exactly twenty-four
hours to make the trip, and that
the trains are operated on a rail
road time which is the same at
both places.

which the pupils manifest is most
commendable. Loyalty to their
school and devotion to their work
were indicated by the spirit shown
in this gathering. There is no
doubt that the literary societies
have been most potent factor in
developing this spirit, and this
alone, aside from the great direct
benefits derived from the work,
would justify the existence Of the
societies.
The entertainment Saturday
evening was formerly opened with
an address Of welcome BY Miss
Cora Hamilton, president Of the
Occident society she welcomed
the Orients and the friends assem-
bled in neat phrases spoken in a
manner that indicated seit-posses-
sion and ability derived from ex-
perience and natural endowments
Her address was enthusiastically rel
ceived.
The banquet Of oysters, pickles,
crackers and coffee was served by
the high school boys. Thye showed
their ability to adapt themselves
most readily to the walters profess
sion and served the guests in the
most acceptable manner.
There were songs galore by the
boys and girls, Miss Davis contri-
buted much to the pleasure of all
by selections recited in her own
inimitable manner Great praise
is due to the Occidents foF the able
way in which they conducted the
entire affair.

USE ABSORBENT BEDDING.
It's Need In the Stable Is Known In
Theory, Although Much Neg
lested In Practice. :

Too much emphasis cannot be placed
on the necessity for having plenty Of
absorbent bedding in all stables for
two reasons. namely, to promote the
comfort of the animals and to save the
manure, especially the liquid excre-
ment, which is the most valuable part
Of it. The need Of clean. dry, abundant
bedding must be generally known theo-
reticaly. although much neglected In
practice. The value of liquid manure
is. however. q thing people in general
are very slow to learn or to do any
thing about Among the best absorb
ents may be mentioned sawdust, straw,
and land plaster, Sawdust, an excellent
fertilizer In itself. retards the decompo-
sition OF the manure, but rots quickly
when mixed with it. Where 1t is cheap
and accessible. nothing better can be
had. Az most farmers have more straw
than can possibly be used for feeding
purposes. this is q most common and
on the whole most excellent bedding.
