Ii is rather amusing just to note
the appearances of the different hats
worn by different business men along
Main street. Prof. Justus has swell
tered around in hot derby all sum
mer, penpiring and wiping his bald
spot continually. Judge Butterworth
wears a Panama and it is close
second for Doctor Hawley's hat.
However, Mr.. Butterworth has no
reputation for wearing straw hat
after everybody else has put on felts
or derbys to sustain, so the likeli-
hood is that he will soon make q
change. Clifton George wears a
soft felt hat resembling leghorn, and
though it shows the marks of ages
he expresses no disposition to part
with it for q while at least, Mark
Carr has very well preserved straw
of the round dumpy shape, and
though be seems 10th to part with it
will soon don a new headgear. w.
N. Robinson expresses willingness
to exchange his old sun bonnet sailor
for anything that looks better. The
majority of them feel about the hat
question as Senator Platt does about
retiring from the senate and will
not throw them away until they are
good and ready"
Straw hats have been more popular
this year according to the hatters
than ever before. They have also
been cheaper which may have some
thing to do with it.

DEATH KNELL
ON STRAW LIDS
ONLY A FEW MORE DAYS OF
LEASE OF LIFE.
TYPES OF wEARERs
Different Tulsans and Their Differ
ent Kinds Of Head Gear-The
End Of the Summer.

In the distance the death knell OF
the straw hat is tolling as the cooler
days draw near In New York straw
hats have already been consigned to
the garret and three weeks more will
end the season in Tulsa. September
Is is the date in Tulsa The fur.
ther west you go the longer the straw
hat season lasts. 1t is mighty good
thing that the season is about over
for most of the straw hats in Tulsa
are beginning to assume dilapi-
dated and gone-to-seed appearance,
much resembling last years bird Is
nest or left over straw stack.
Dirty, begrimed, rainstreaked, they
have served their time and, though
it is done reluctantly, relief is felt
in finding that time has come at last
when a new hat may be bought.
The reasons that the straw hat
has already been discarded in New
York are that cool weather reaches
New York about two weeks earlier
than it does Tulsa and at the first
intimation Of autumn Gothamites are
eagerly awaiting the opening of the
swell hat stores down town. Another
reason why New York openings are
held earlier than in the West is that
New York is supposed to set the
fashion for the entire country and
the fastidious New Yorker is just
now returning from his northern or
European trip and preparing to leave
soon for some sunny southern spot
at which to spend the winter. OF
course he must go fashionably clad.
All the fall and winter hats have
reached Tulsa some time ago and
have been ready for the opening dis
play several days. The styles this
year will run principally to derbys.
The new derbys are not much of an
improvement over the old ones so
far as looks or shapes are concerned.
A derby hat is a. derby hat and is
capable of but little alienation. The
derbys this year will have fiat rim
but not so fiat as those of last sea-
son and some of them will have three
eyelets or airholes in each side of the
crown. Anyone that can wear a
derby at all can wear the new styles
with perfect assurance as they look
well on almost anyone.
eyes, the old straws will soon be
gone," sad hat salesman in a store
yesterday. "That is, l mean the
season Of the starw hat is about over,
although the old straws will not en-
tirely disappear for several weeks
yet. Take for instance Doctor Haw-
ley. Now there is man noted for
his independence on whom fashion
has no claim. He will wear his straw
hat until the snow flies. He wears
straw hat because he likes one bet
ter than any other kind of hat you
could give him. have seen him
walk down the street in defiance of
cold weather custom and precedent
wearing a straw hat.'
In Chicago at the board of trade
it is a matter of history that if a
man appears at the exchange wear
ing a straw hat after September
his hat shall be promptly seized and
smashed until he can not again ap-
pear in public wearing it.

ready employed have, through over
work, reached condition where there
no longer exists the ambition and in
centive that should exist. The ner-
vous tension has almost reached the
limit.

rapidly and too long each day." said
Senator Hansbrough. "The evil is not
peculiar to the railroad world alone.
It extends into nearly every line Of
American business life. The pace ID
swift. We must let up or nervous
prostration will be distinctly an
American malady."
Martin w. Knapp, chairman of the
interstate commerce commission, as.
serted that the whole country, in in
dividual cases as in the corporation
cases, was in a state of congestion.
When shown the observations of
Senator Hansbrough and Chairman
Knapp, Charles P. Neill, United States
commissioner of labor, said:
These suggestions open up a

cation in which l think it would

This condition of affairs is not
alone peculiar to the operation

We find it in marked degree at

In making the moisture determine
tons on the farms, the object is to
study what effect, if any, the crops
have upon the moisture in the soil.
Composite samples in foot sections
are taken to depth of three feet on
every plat. The samples are dried
and the moisture determined. This
has been done three times during the
season, viz, shortly after the crops
were seeded, during the summer and
shortly aftetr the crops had been har-
vested. Naturally the percentage of
moisture in the corn plats stood very
low compared with the other plats.
But at the second determination the
corn plats stood first at all the farms
except Lakota. At the third determ-
ination the corn plats stood first in
every instance except at Granville.
In comparing the average per cent
ageage of moisture of all the corn and
wheat plats and oat plats on all the
farms. At the different times of max
ing the moisture determination, It
was found that at the first time of
taking the samples, the corn plats
stood lowest, as shown in the follow
ing table:

Average for the
6 oat plats. 1888 1915 1876
That the corn plats stood highesl
at the second and third determination
is attributed to the fact of the extra
cultivation these plats received dur
ing the summer. The constant cult
walton kept the upper crust of the soil
we'll loosened, thereby preventing the
moisture from coming to the surface
and exaporating.
This study will be continued each
year to note if it will hold true for
a period of years.

DR.. 1REACY TO INVESTIGATE

DR.. Treacy of the bureau of animal

railroad company carrying the horses
failed to provide proper care and at
tention for them enroute, and they
died because of the negligence on the
part of the carrier.
Owing to the frequent reports that
have come to the attention of the de-
partment, it was decided that a thor
ough examination of the complaints
be made, and DR.. Treacy has been Or
dered to conduct the investigation and
