WIDENING HE FIELD
MAKING GREATER OPPORTUNITY
 FOR SONS OF FARMERS.
BUILDING UP THE HOME TOWN
Some Causes for Complaint Which Can Be ObIiterated by the United Efforts of the
 People.

How often do we hear 1t said that the young man has not the opportun- ity that the young man of q score of years ago had. How great is the con- plaint of trusts and combinations which control industries to the detri- ment of the smaller ones in business, and how often is reference made to business concentration in the large cities at the cost of the smaller towns.
 Innovations in business methods have been many. It may be said that this IS an era of economical methods; that evolution is going on continually broadening the field for. individual effort and making possible the opera ton Of mammoth enterprises. There can be no doubt as to the detrimental effects upon small towns of this husi- ness concentration in the larger cities. Pessimists deplore the lack of oppor- tunity for the young men of today. At the same time the large corpora tions put forth the cry that there is scarcity of the right kind of material for important places of trust. How ever this may be, there is one thing evident, and that is, small towns being kept from advancing narrows the field for the young men who would otherwise enjoy an opportunity to en- gage in business.
 Travelling to the large city for en- ployment, the youth perhaps, seeks clerkship at moderate wages. There are thousands of others that he must compete with in the race for success. His field is narrowed. It is not often that he has fair competition, and ia voritism he finds is one of the obstruc- tions in his way. One of the cures for this condition is to devise means of enlargiag the scope and importance of the so-called country towns
 There Is no economical reason why the large city should have the busi- ness that rightfully belongs to the small town. There is no saving in buying goods at distant point even though small percentage may be saved directly. Whenever a resident of community sends his money to some other community for the neces- sities that he requires, he robs his own home town of certain amount of business. Employment is given to the people of the large city instead of the people of the local community.
 It has been estimated. that more rom some communities to larger cities. If this trade were given to the home town, it would immediately dou- ble it's business importance and give a corresponding increase in employment for the people. This means that the population of the town would be in- creased and the opportunity for en- gazing in business would be greater. Not only this, but it is an established principle that values of farm lands to | great extent are dependent upon the activity of the town near which the farms may be located. Thus it is | plain that if the sons of farmers would have greater opportunities open ao them for engaging in business, it can be increased by closely adhering to the home trade and home protec- ton principle, which widens the local | feld for individual effort in a business

Doinu Up RuffIed Curtains.

To do up ruffled ret curtains, stretch out on sheet after starching. Pin just to the ruffles and leave until dry. Take up and iron only the ruff fes, dampening as you go along This will leave the curtain perfectly straight.

For the Throat.

A lovely throat ornament in small diamonds is a ribbon of silver net work so closely studded with the stones that very little of the setting is visible; but as it is flexible it clings as closely to the throat as elastic would do. It is tied at one side with bow and short ends, which have tas- sels of still smaller diamonds.

Mendinu Gloves.

Mending the finger tips of long gloves with court plaster is the trick one young woman makes use of to lengthen the life of this dress acces- sorry which is such a luxury. She pastes the court plaster, white on white and black on black, on the in side of the finger tip, with the result that the gloves will last immeasrrably longer.

HOW TO CHAT WELL.
Subject Is Well Worthy of important
 Consideration.

How comparatively few there are who can chat well, who can practice the art pleasantly, easily and enter tainingly.
 Chatting is not conversation-it is not mere talking, it is not speaking to & person on any special subject, it is not talking with a purpose, and yet it is not purposeless.
 It is simply acquiring the art of 1{a t2gching h}l; Hshtlx on g xaria --.anf sxarxs
 There must be an element of the unexpected in chatting, a slight uncer- tainty as to what will come next, and not firm conviction that be- fore the speaker quits there will be a dissertation on health or a special hobby.
 Those who would chat we'll must have sensc of proportions; they must learn not to spend too much time over a mass of details that are really unimportant, and yet they must not ignore those details, however small, which serve to give realistic touches
 The essence of chatting, the most delightful form of conversation, is to pass lightly and naturally from one subject to another.

From time to time Jumps Of butter
are dug out Of the Irish bogs, and
specimens Of it may be seen In various
museums. A chemical examination
has recently been made of a sample
Of such butter, whicn was found four
feet below the surface Of a bog at
Maghery, County Tyrone. The original
lump, which weighed about 20 pounds,
is probably some centuries old, and it
IS suggested that 1t had been put into
peat water to preserve it or to give
it flavor and had been forgotten. Yet
so efectually had the fat been pre-
served by the peat water that it still
retained many Of the chemical char
acterisitcs Of butter fat, though its
appearance had greatly changed. The
exterior was white and granular, and
the whole mass had been converted
during the passage Of years into

ASKS FOR A NOTICE
Oklahoma Would Know Statehood
Date in Order to Avoid Con-
fusion.

Guthrie, Okla. Oct. 15-John Fl,
Burford, chief justice of Oklah oma,
addressed the following letter today
to Charles J. Bonaparte, United Stat
es Attorney General:
1t has been publicly announced
through the press that as soon as the
official returns of the election to rabl-
fy the Oklahoma constitution are GER
titled, the President will issue his
proclamation declaring the result and
admitting the state into the Union.
The change from a territorial to a
state government will, by the terms
Of the enabling act, occur instantly
upon the signing Of the proclamation
by the President. The change should
be brought about In such manner as
to minimize the confusion that must
necessarily accompany the transform
alton.
There are seven district courts in
session in Oklahoma and eight in the
Indian Territory, some with petit jur-
les and others with both petit and
grand juries in session. The trial OF
both civil and criminal causes are in
progress II the change should take
place during the progress of an unfn-
ished criminal cause, the result would
be disastrous to the public interests
There are numerous federal, terrltori-
al and county officers who have fnan-
cial settlements to make and trans
fers to complete, which requires a lit

ABIDES BY Returns
Oklahoma's Election Board Not to
Go Behind Them Few Discrep-
encies Found in Recanvass.

Guthrie, Okla, Oct. l5- Few dis
crepancies are being round by the state
board Of canvass the election returns
on the constitution and prohibition,
which resumed the count Yesterday,
after 1t had been held up for three
days awaiting the original poll books
and tally sheets. Fifty-eight county
clerks have already sent in the original
returns. A few are holding back and
Democrats claim that some Republi-
can county clerks are refusing to de
liver the returns upon Instructions
from the attorney for the Republican
committee. This the attorneys, how.
ever, deny
The board, contrary to expectations,
failed to count the 'mutiloted" bal
lots which were certified up from sew
aral counties. This was distinct
disappointment TO Chairman Hunter
OF the Republican state committee
Mr.. Hunter said:
II have asked the board to count
these ballots, or at least TO make
notation of all mutulated ballots, and
submit brief TO the President at the
conclusion of the count, stating that
so many ballots were thrown out by
county boards as mutulated In the
various counties and precincts, naming
them specifically and asking for con-
gressional investigation. So far che
board has shown no disposition to do
this. Ii the board does not take such
action shall take no further steps,
and the plan Of che Republican com
mittee TO contest and to secure con-
gressional investigation is all off,"
Charles Filson, member of the
board, stated last night that the count
will now proceed rapidly, and chat as
far as he is concerned no attempt win
be made to 60 behind the original re.
turns as received.

tie time TO accomplish.


In contemplation of pending condl-
tions the supreme court of Oklahoma,
at a recent session, instructed me as
chief justice to request you to advise
the President that the public interests
will be best subserved If he will
make public announcement Of the
exact date upon which he will rromul-
gated his proclamation few days in
advance of that event. Some such
action will enable all courts, officers
and governmental agents to close all
unfinished business and be prepared
for the change without detriment
either to public or private interests.
1t has been generally anticipated
that we will become a state about
November ], l9O7. 1t is now thought
that the official returns may reason
ably be expected to reach the Presi-
dent within the next ten days, and it
is not our purpose or desire to delay
statehood, but rather to aid In bring
ing it about with the least possible
confusion.
If these suggestions meet with your
approval, I have the honor to request
that you lay the same before the Pres
ident, and recommend that he give
from five TO ten days public notice in
advance of the exact date upon which
he will officially proclaim the results
and admit the 5 ate into the Union.

SPINDLE VETERANS
 OF MEXICAN WAR
RESIDENTS OF SOUTHERN STATES BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN ROB- BED BY PENSION ATTORNEYS OF LAND GRANTS.

Washington, June 16.--(Special.)--Hu dreds of veterans of the Mexican war or their heirs resident in Kentucky, Ten nessee, Alabama, Mississippi. Louisiana and other states, are believed to have been swindled by pension attorneys in this city under the pension laws, which allow them bounty public land grants of 160 acres. The attorneys in question have been directed by Commissioner Warner to show why thsy should not be debarred from practice before the department, and the commissioner expressed the opinion yesterday that those who have been swindled undoubtedly recover thrcug h suits.
 In a number of instances attorneys have expressed willingness to refund to claimants the full amounts which they should have received. The allega- tions are that the pension attorneys named have been making a practice of looking up instances where the warrant had not been issued, or, having been

 It is charged that in several cases warrants have been purchased for about s1 an acre and sold by the attorney for as much as $7 an acre.
 As soon as Commissioner Warner learned that this systematic campaign was being made against the slender re- sources of the people entitled to this small gift he issued an order that here after the warrants for the 160 acre grants shall be issued by registered letter and only to the persons entitled to the grants. In this way the attorneys are cut out from receiving the first checks
