The newspaper reports were in error
when they announced that the Okla
hOma constitutional convention had in
Guided in the new constitution a pro-
vision forbidding the manufacture, sale
or introduction into the state of intoX-
icatlng liquors. The convention re
ferred the question of prohibition to
the people. 4 queer result of the loose
drawing Of the present territorial law,
according to a recent decision, is that
a liquor dealer does not violate it IN

Gus liquors'-all three-On election
day. 1t was argued, on behalf of a
liquor dealer arrested on the charge
of illegal selling, that his client sold
only whisky, whereas the law did not
forbid a man to sell one kind of liquor,
but three kinds. The man would have
been guilty if the law had used "or"
instead of and" in the list of liquors
which might not be sold.

Is not likely to be carried out, there

there is still a disposition on the part
OF the different states to regard state

HOW TO GROW A NAME.

1t is high time to get to work in
your gardens, youngsters, if you have
not already commenced. You can
have flowers in box in the window,
or in the yard, or in the country gar
den-but, wherever you are, try to
have some kind Of a garden so you
can watch it and tend it yourself. Get
some one to advise you at first
mother or aunt or father or uncle.
Here are some suggestions for seeds
for you to get.
If you like a vine, morning glory
is very satisfactory, and it will climb
up strings on a window or fence or
house. Some hardy flowers (meaning
flowers that can stand cold) are phlox,
candy-tuft, nasturtiums, portIlaca
snap dragon, mignonette, marigold,
cornfower, peoples and verbena.
If you prefer vegetables, try beans,
lettuce, radishes, parsley and mint.
Don't worry if the beans poke right
out of the ground after planting, for
that is a way they have. Let them
alone and they will manage them
selves. If you do not live too far
north, see if you can get peanuts from
your florist If you plant mustard or
cress seed, not water cress) try in
this way: Scratch your name or in
itials on the ground and plant the
seeds in the scratches, and the little
green plants will spring up and grow
into your name in your garden.

den somewhere this year?-Washing.

PIGEON CITIES IN THE

PIGEON CITIES IN THE SWAMPS.
Each spring, in May, all the rosy
gulls of a wide region somehow agree
to resort to a particular one of vari-
Gus marshy lakes for the purpose of
rearing their young. Just how they
decide the important question is not
for us humans to know. At any rate,
what they do select is a great area
of grass, reeds or rushes growing out
of the water, and there, out of the
abundance of dry stems, each pair
builds a partly floating nest, side by
side with others, thousands upon
thousands of them. These great
''cities" of the prairie pigeon present
one of the most dramatic, spectacular
sights in the bird life of this CONT
nent, comparable in a way to the
former breeding 'roosts' of the real
wild pigeon. Outing Magazine.
HAWK KILLING OFF sPARROWs.
Charles Wall, who lives north of
town. says that the English sparrows
in this part of the country, which
have been such a pest for good many
years, are no longer increasing in
numbers and that they have almost
entirely ceased to be the nuisance
they formerly were.
The reason he gives is that the
sparrow hawks are killing them off
and that the sparrOws can net null
tipIv as fast as the hawks do away
with them. The sparrows, he says,
stay near the buildings for ear Of
the hawks and so do not get into
the fields and yards To dc the cam
age they used to. Mr. Wall THINKS
the time may come when the Eng
lish sparrow will Ge SO reduced in
numbers that they will Je no longer
a menace.-Lavrence correspondence

BOYS MAY FESTIVAL IN JAPAN.
The famous boys festival which oc-
ours in Japan every May is an in
teresting affair
Long before the arrival Of the day
shops are gay with all kinds Of
tempting toys and banners, while in
every yard and in front of the houses
long bamboo poles are set up. When
the day arrives, writes Genjiro in The
Circle, the boys tie their paper fishes,
flags and streamers to the rope hang
ing from the top of the pole, and pull
them up. These paper fishes are
made hollow, so that the breeze may
pass through the wide opening of the
mouth and initiate the body, making
it round like a real fish. The paper
is painted either red or black to rep
resent red or black carp. The fishes
are of different sizes, ranging from
a foot to three or four yards long.
Some of the bamboo poles have as
many fishes on them as there are boys
in the house; often each fish repre-
sents one of the boys of the family.
When there is a strong spring
breeze the air entering through the
mouth initiates the bodies Of the
fishes, swings them from side to side,
and makes them flap their tails, SO
that they look as if they are in their
own element-are swimming in a
stream. 1t is a pretty sight to see
from a housetop a great number of
them floating in the air all over the
city. To other bamboo poles flags
are attached and these have pictures
of warriors and heroes in Japanese
history and legends painted on them.

Canadians Want Treaty
With Japan Abr0gated.

Ottawa, Ont, September 23.-Af-
ter the most interesting debate that
has ever taken place in the labor
halls OF this country, the Trades and
Labor Congress Of Canada, In ses-
sion at Winnipeg, has demanded
that the Dominion Government men,
orialize the British Government, ask
Ing that the existing treaty between
Great Britain and japan be abrogat-
ed In order that Oriental immigra-
tion into Canada might be treated
in the best interests of the country.
"They can not do it. That treaty
can not be broken for four years"
This is what Japanese Consul Gen.
eral Nosse said when asked for an ex-
preston OF opinion on the resolu.
tion. He declares that the treaty
signed about q year ago was foriour
years and that for three more at
least 1t can not be broken by any
one.
"Would abrogation affect Japan
zee trade with Canads?" Mr.. Nosse
was asked.
"It certainly would" he answered,
land would probably cause the
japanese to buy less goods from
Canada. But l don't believe that
treaty could be broken"
