ANOTHER STAR
ON OUR FLAG
President Signs Oklahoma Indian
Territory Statehood Measure.
NOW OKLAHOMA STATE
Two Pens Were Used, One of Gold,
from Arizona and other "Goose"
Quill from an American Eagle.

Another star was added to the I'M
ion Saturday when President Roose-
welt signed the bill admitting Oklaho-
ma and the indian Territory as one
state The measure also provides that
Arizona and New Mexico may be
admitted to statehood as the state of
Arizona, provided the people Of the
territories vote in favor Of admission
ON the terms submitted to them by
congress.
The signing of the measure was
made the occasion OF an interesting
ceremony. Senator Beveridge and
Representative Hamilton, respective
ly, chairmen of the house and senate
committees ON territories, who have
worked long and hard to bring about
the enactment of the measure, we're
present, as also were Delegate Nc
CURE Of Oklahoma, and delegation
OF residents of Oklahoma; Delegate
Andrews Of New Mexico, Secretary
Loeb and several others
The president used two pens in
signing the measure, writing his first
name, Theodore with a solid gold
pen presented by the people Of Ari-
iona, and his family name, "Roose-
welt" with an eagles quill taken from
an American eagle in Oklahoma.
After signing the bill, President
Roosevelt congratulated Senator Beg,
erldge and Representative Hamilton
On the completion of their long and
ariuous labors in connection with the
measure. He expressed in strong
terms the hope that the people Of
Arizona and New Mexico would avail
themselves OF the opportunity afforded
them by the law to come into the
union as a state From every view
roint, he said he regarded 1t as the
wise thing to do, as they were now
offered an opportunity which might
not again be offered in a score OF
years. The president said, too, he
had q personal interest in the admis-
sion of Arizona and New Mexico, as
many OF the members Of his regiment,
the Rough Riders, resided in those
territories. He added that he hoped
sincerely the people of the territories
would not lose the opportunity thus
presented to them.

CENTURY PLANTS USES.
Produces Drink, Fibre, Needles and
Paper-Flourishes in Mexico.

One day recently I visited Hor-
ticultural Hail. Wandering around
among the plants, my eyes rested
upon a century," or agaye, plant.
I thought how beautiful they must
look in Mexico, the country par ak
cellence for the production Of the
plant. Many countries produce
wealth as the result of labor, but
few have so many and varied pros
ucts that have but to be taken from
the hand of Nature as has Mexico.
In the United States we use the
century plant as an ornament; it is
often seen in the front yards of resi-
dences; there are quite a number in
different parts of Philadelphia.
1t is called a century plant because
It blooms so seldom In Mexico it
blooms when the plant is from four
to FIVE years old. There are between
l50 and 200 different species. The
ancient Aztecs knew the uses Of the
plant centuries ago, the leaves being
utilized for roofing their houses; the
fibre for weaving Paper was made
from the pulp of the leaves, which
resembles papyrus. Rare and an
cient Mexican manuscript was writ
ten on it. The Aztecs used the juice
for a drink, which is the pulque Of
to-day. the national drink of Mexico.
Just as the agave or century
plant is about to bloom the flower
is cut out, leaving a large cavity,
into which the sweet sap which has
been stored up in the leaves ex-
udes. Then d man called a pulQue
collector, or gatherer, collects the
sap and puts it in large pigskin
bag. After fermentation this sap be-
comes pulque, and contains from 6
to per cent. Of alcohol
Another drink, distilled from the
roots mescal, or tequila, not unlike
Scotch whiskey, is very intoxicating.
There are many plantations near
the CITY of Mexico cultivating the
plant solely for the production Of
puloue. Irvine, rope and thread are
produced from its fibre, and needles
from the fine tips of the leaves.
Some of the best hammocks, mats
and other articles are a product of
the henequen, or sisal, hemp, an
other species of the plant
The leaves are gathered, and, with
out any treatment whatever, are fed
in the machine at one end, in their
green and succulent condition, and
automatically scratched and degum-
med and delivered at the other end
of the machine, entirely free from
stain, tangle or waste.
The greener and juicier the leaves
the easier is the extraction of the
threads. The fibre is dried in the
sun, which bleaches it ready for
shipment. Lots OF century plants
grow in California and in most tropi-
cal countries, but they flourish no
where else as in Mexico.-Philadel-

Buses and cars cease running in
london at 1890 a. m, and one of
the reasons why the labor men in the

Water at Meals.

Water taken with meals should be

Ice water should be taken as seldom
as possible; never would be a better
rule And the habit of putting
clipped ice in the drinking water is
to be avoided, as one never knows
what may be taken into the stomach
through this medium. The better way
is to fill bottles with water and allow
them to stand beside ice to chill

April 1, next. This body is composed of
ia ministers and nearly an equal num-

and most influential Conferences of that
denomination.
1t is stated that there is Il growing feel

IS not likely that this will occur at the
coming session. The question of church
union, which has been upon the tables
for several years will also come up for
much discussion.
1t is not supposed that there will be
many changes in the pastoral work this
year. There being on time limit. it is
not an easy matter TO forecast Il change
of pastors.

Farm Help Growing Scarce

The problem of farm labor supply
promises to become more pressing in
Cecil and neighboring counties. Labor
ers seek mills and factories and construc-
ton works attracted by shorter hours
and weekly pay. The great work pro-
jccted at McCalfs Ferry is creating no
little anxiety among farmers of lower
York and Lancaster and upper Cecil and
Hartford counties as to help for the COM
ing season.
