SUMMER PRUNING

WYE usually think Of pruning only
w when a plant is asleep. 1t Is true
that the heaviest pruning should
be done then, but there Is much that we
can do during the summer to keep a plant
in good condition.
The lilac is usually the best pruned
shrub We have, for the simple reason that
We are apt to pick every blossom. The
plant cannot, of course, then make any
seeds and the strength Is thrown into new
wood, where 1t belongs
All faded or fading blossoms should be
cut from every bush, but especially so in
the case Of spireaes, deutsias, forsythias,
etc.
Rose bushes should be treated the same
way. second bloom can be produced on
wistaria by following this rule and cut
ting the end of each runner.

The edge of the spade must be kept as

strokes of it should be given to the spade

not only help you keep your flower beds in

EVILS OF MODERN LIFE.
Harm Done by Hurry and Worry Of
Our Modern Civilization.

Not long ago, while travelling, l
CHANGED to stop at a village on the
river Rhine, where | found an aston
ashing number of old people. There
were a dozen oyer one hundred years
age. and many from so years old up
TO the century mark; yet straight and
vigorous. One woman nearly a hun
dred years old was earning her living
by picking hops; her grandchildren
were middle-aged. 1t was quite won
derful. But there was no mystery
about it: it was merely the effect of a
simple life spent largely in the fields,
with plain diet, consisting of a few
vegetables and fruits, little meat, and
native beer and wine for beverages.
Nothing can be more obvious than
that the very completely of our mod
ern civilization is shortening our lives.
But of all the evils that afiict us the
worst and most destructive are hurry
and worry. Hurry drives the body
machine beyond its capacity, while
worry racks it inwardly. Of the two
worry is probably the worse. This
might, indeed, be called the age OF
worry. Because of the intense nerV'
GUS strain to which we are subjected,
we do vastly more worrying than did
our ~forebears. The average man OF
today is continually surrounded and
pursued by phantom troubles, which,
though few of them ever materialize
into realities, haunt him continually
running his peace of mind and inlur-
ing his health.-Dr. John V. Shoe
maker in the Reader.

CUT OUT FOR A DIPLOMAT.
Quick Wit Extrlcated Young Man
from Difficult Situation.

Most people take things lightly at
the seashore, so that probably ac-
counted for the fact that a certain
young man found himself engaged to
two charming girls at one and the
same time while enjoying his vacation
during the past summer.
One day he was seated, half DOING,
on the deserted piazza Of the hotel
where all three of the interested par
ties were stopping when suddenly two
little hands were clasped tightly over
his eyes, and a sweet voice whispered,
Guess who?"
Was it Clara or Nan? Should he
say one of the names and chance it?
These thoughts were flashing through
his brain, when an inspiration struck
him.
ITS the dearest, sweetest, prettiest
little girl in all the world" he said.
ooh, you dear old Jack boy!" she
whispered, satisfied and delighted, and
the hands dropped from his eyes to
his shoulders.

Foolish pletetlc Eads.

"If men .grimly eat to live, they will
not live long" says DR.. Thomas La
throp Stedman, in a protest against
the desperate seriousness with which
the present generation regards it's
food. DR.. Stedman suggests that peo-
pie should eat what they like. "Appe-
tite," he says, SIS as necessary to d.
gestion as is ~mastication, and what Is
eaten without relish Is with difficulty,
If at all, assimilated, for the stomach
despises unsavory stuff and refuses to
%secrete sufficient fluid for its diges-
ton"
The dietetic crank, he adds, is
saved from the otherwise inevitable
results of his folly by the fact that his
enthusiastic appreciation of the I'M
s7Hcry food which he is persuaded wil'
assure him strength and long life

Why THE CONSTITUTION
SHOULD Be ADOPTED

A controlling reason why the con-
stitution shculd be adopted, from a
democratic standpoint, is the ~
demption Of our election pledges.
From the exalted viewpoint Of un-
biased citizenship the constitution
should be adopted because that great
document protects labor, encourages
legitimate capital, gives direct pow
er to the people through the initiative
and referendum to make and repeal
laws, and embodies the broadest and
best conceptions of the fundamental
rights and privileges of an Ameri-
can citizen ever formulated for any
state.
Under the stringent provisions Of
the new constitution, railway and 9TH
er public corporations which have
sapsucked to a criminal extreme the
vitality Of our country, will be safe
harnessed and their piracy destroy
ed. Despotic and irrevocable laws
and debauched legislatures will be
impossible, and legislative boodlers

when the democrats swept Okla
homa last year it was a frightfuI
shock to the republican leaders. The
vote put the new state as surely in
the democratic column as Mississippi.
"Thereupon, the leaders began to
scheme. A good many of them are
douhteful Of defeating Bryan next
year, unless Roosevelt is the candi-
date. There were number Of confer
ences, at which the watchword was,
Oklahoma must be kept out of the
Union at any cost
Speaker Cannon was easily en-
listed in this conspiracy for the rea-
son that all along he has been opposed
to statehood, and did his best to pre-
vent the passage of the act"

One Of the most important matters

Of neww president. Mr.. Russell,
it is learned, will tender his resigna-
ton. He is going to move to Oklaho-

AS SEEN BY LOCAL LEADERS

"They wouldn't give those who are
in favor of adopting the constitution
even a decent hearing" was what
one prominent Chickasha republican
said who attended the republican
meeting in Oklahoma City yesterday,
and he continued, "the cry was, down
the constitution and they didn't want
to listen to anything else. The ma
jority Of the Indian Territory crowd
was for adopting the constitution and
putting out a ticket, bdt their senti-
ments were stifled. Of course the
federal office holding crowd Of In
dian Territory was against the consti-
tuition. For example, Judge Robin
ett of Ardmore, who has been holding
onto $125 month teat for time out
Of mind was loud in his derunciation
Of the constitution and he said that
ninety per cent Of the people Of the
territory were against it. This IS a
fair sample Of the talk they make
and the methods they are using.
They don't want 30 get the real SEN
timent Of the people.
Another prominent man in the
Chickasha delegation, said he believed
the party would declare against the
new constitution IN the con-
vention next month and would sue
coed in voting it down at the polls.
Indian Territory was for it but the
sentiment Of Oklahoma is strongly
against it.
1T was 'powowing and milling all
day long" said another republican
"and I don't know what they did do. n

VIII De SHOfn OF THEIR JOBS.
Masquerading in republican clothes
with the aggrieved son of Ham, the
opposition of the pIundering trusts
to the constitution makes a spirit
for its adoption irresistible.
Not assailing honest corporations,
but giving hearty assurance Of fair
treatment to legitimate wealth, the
constitution should be adopted be-
cause it will give the new state vast
influx Of foreign capital, factories,
cotton mills, foundries, extensive in
dustrial enterprises and other induce
ments for increased labor, greater
population, lower taxation and home
markets.
With the wonderful resources of
our matchless new state, at the thresh
hold Of this unprecedented opportun-
ity for immense achieynent and pros
perity, the constitution viii be adopt
ed at the earliest moment, and the

pie quickly struck for freedom.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
tilt WITH The AUDITOR

The only thing to enliven the rath-
er monotonous proceedings of the
city council yesterday afternoon was
a little tilt between Auditor Heryer
and the council. When Mr.. Heryer
was employed, it was by the month
and no ordinance existed under which
he could hold the office Of auditor.
Several weeks ago the council decid-
ed that the offices Of Auditor and
City Clerk might be combined and at
the end Of the month Clerk Dews ac-
cordingly made out the warrants for
services as auditor and city clerk in
his own favor as directed by the fl
nance committee. Mr.. Heryer appear
ed before the council and claimed he
was still auditor, had done the work
and was entitled to pay for it. Mr..
Dews stated that rather than have
any contention or hard feeling that
he would transfer his part Of the
salary as auditor for the past month
to Mr.. Heryer. Some feeling was be-
ginning to be shown when Mayor
Bridges, on motion, had the matter
referred to the finance committee
who will straighten out the tangle.
The matter of the right of the city
to the Carnegie Library building
came up. Alderman Coffman said
that inehis opinion the city attorney
Should be instructed to get an abb
stract which should show whether the
title was in the city or whether Mr..
Carnegie had any strings on it as the
people were anxious to know just
what right the city had in the case.
