BERWYN AUCTION
LIKE AN OUTING
Novel Sale of Subdivision
Lots by Greater Washing
ton Realty Corporation.
MUSIC, LUNCH, AND RIDE
Popularity of This Section Becoming
More Apparent Every
Day.

A novel real estate auction, features
OF which were all the essentials OF a
pleasant outing, with music. lunch. and
a free ride, was held last Wednesday on
the new subdivision OF the Greater
Washington Realty Corporation at Ber-
wyn.
Several hundred homeseekers gathered
at this second sale. for selling of al
most an entire subdivision in two days
is somewhat unusual.
When the auctioneer began the sale
by the announcement that every lot put
up would be sold to the highest bidder
there was very active bidding and spir-
ited competition among the entire gath
ering.
Success of BeTwyn.
The success. Of this new subdivision at
Berwyn is already assured Convenient
of access to the city, with quick trans
portation both by the electric cars and
those of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road at low rates; high and healthy
and already a well developed suburb.
possessing all the advantages afforded
by schools, churches. and stores in the
immediate vicinity, it appeals 10 those
who desire TO get away from the city
time for business or departmental du-
ties
Berwyn has become exceedingly pop
ular since il was first laid out few
years ago and already a large number
of the Inhabitants OF the city have jour
neyed thither and built neat homes,
creating a settlement that is represen-
tative IN the social as we'll as the sub
stantial character Of its inhabitants.
New Departure.
The plan of the Greater Washington
Realty Corporation in dispOsing Of it's
holdings by auction, rather than by the
slower method generally adopted, is a
departure in this section. and the sue
cess already attained in the two sales
IL has held is good evidence that II has
proved attractive TO hOmeseekers, and
has enabled many heads OF families tC
provide the ground on which TO build
From the statements OF many OF the
purchasers the sound of the saw and
hammer will soon be heard and by next
spring a number OF houses will have
been added TO the taxable value Of the

INCREASE IS GREAT.

Norman, Okla, May l2.-The total
enrolment at the Oklahoma univer
sity from Indian Territory is So. This
is an increase of almost double over
last year, Since the university has
been offered to students from the In
dian Territory on the same basis as
those from Oklahoma there has been
a steady influx of patronage from
that section. Since the establishment
of official relations in allowing the
Indian Territory high schools to par
ticipate in the annual interScholas-
tic field meet, it is thought by the
management of the university that
next year the patronage from that
section will be doubled over this year,
During the summer the university
will send several representatives over
into the territory TO solicit students
and lay the cornerstone for the great
single statehood building Of the twin
territories.

BANK WAR SEEMS ENDED
Oklahoma Continues Diplomats Re
lations With Kansas City.

Guthrie, O. T., May l4,-The
"war" which a number Of Oklahoma
bankers were threatening to declare
ON Kansas City banks and the Kan
sas City house some months ago seems
TO be over. The trouble started as a
result Of difference over the amount
TO be charged for collections by Ok
lahoma banks, and the action of the
clearing house in making collections
through express companies when the
banks Of the territory insisted on
rates which the clearing house con-
sidered too high.
The differences excited great In
terest among the bankers at one
time. and a special meeting Of the
Oklahoma and Indian Territory
Bankers Association was called to
consider the matter. Many of the
bankers threatened to take THEN
business away from Kansas City al
together and transfer it to st. Louis
or some other point. Very few of
them, however. followed that pro-
iramme. The greatest click at
that time came from Indian Terri
tory. where the banks had not the
,L,,,.,,,,b o,.,,,n;zotinn which existed
in Oklahoma.
Joseph W. McNeal, president of
the National Bank of Commerce here,
and one of the most prominent bank
ers in the territory, says that the
former friendliness with the Kansas
City banks has practically been re-
established. and that there are only
a few individual bankers who are
still fighting the Kansas City banks.

For many year, the vineyards of
France were rayaged by hailstorm>
which arose with great suddenness
and RACED with intense fury. The
years harvest was destroyed in a
few minutes aud the yinegrowers
were utterly to prevent or repair the
diastrr. Some ten or twelve years
agu an inventive genius suggested
the use ot cannon to dissi pate the
storms, but at first his theory was
met with incredibly and lidicule. Tn
dauuted, however he induced several
farmers tu make the test. which was
backed by the loan Of few cannon
from the French government. The
experiments proved invariably sue
cesstul and the winegrowers held gala
meetings and gave banquets to cele-
brate their victories over the hail
storms with all the enthusiasm Of
Nutrip,s rstutsuluu from a Nlgtpl1ouG
campaign against an army of human
invaders. Since then the use of can

results are 50 uniformly successful
