McAlester, Okla, April 29-Daniel
M HALEY, Major General commanding
the division, United Confederate vet
Grams, has caused to be issued from
the office Of R. B. Coleman Adjutant
General and Chief of staff, recently,
two general orders as to the general

ALFALFA THE GREATEST
CROP FOR THE FARMERS

Geary, Okla, April 29-Some facts
given by Mr.. J. D. Paden, farmer
living near Geary, give an idea of the
adaptability Of the soil and climate Of
Oklahoma to alfalfa, which seems des-
tined to become one of the leading
crops Of the western part Of the new
state.
Paden last fall planted so acres Of
alfalfa. On this he pastured 200 head
of cattle during the winter, and is now
fattening 25O head of hogs upon it.
The field will produce four good cut
tings and each cutting will average
four and one-half tons to the acre.
This brings an average of $40 per
ton. 1t will thus be seen thai the 80
acres brings the farmer an income of
$4,000 for the cuttings, and it is estl-
mated that the pasturing of cattle and
hogs for market is worth $500, No
other crop in Oklahoma will produce
half that amount in season.

Baltimore. April 2g.-Open warfare
has broken out in the Maryland Re
publican camps on the eve Of the
state convention. which will be held in
Baltimore tomorrow. The inderse-
ment Of Taft is the issue over which
the party leaders are quarreling and
the efforts for and against such action
viii likely lead to the hottest contest
ever known in a Marylands political
convention. Congressman Snyder E.
Mudd is the leader Of the antl-Taft
men and is responsible for the adop-
ton Of a resolution BY the state cen
trail committe favoring an uninsTucted
delegation to Chicago
The resolution declared that the
comittee believed that the republicans
of Maryland as at the time of the last
stae convention, indorse tn policies of
President Roosevelt, and demand as
his successor ~one who can be trusted
to persevere in those policies"
Congressman Mudd is known to favor
the nomination Of Speaker Joseph G,
Cannon for the presidency, end the
Cannon men say that he will control
twelve of the sixteen Maryland dele
gates to the Chicago convention, al
though it is Mudd's object to get an
uninstructed delegation There is al
SO considerable sentiment among Ma
ryland republicans for Governor Hugh

ALL AFTER THE BLUE RIBBON.
Remarkable UnanlmIty Of knowledge
In Sunday School Class.

Now, children" said the teacher OF
the infant class Of a Sunday school, Il
told you last Sunday that each Of you
who learned a verse from the Bible
and recited 1t to-day would receive a
large blue ribbon. Let me see how
many Of you have learned a verse"
There were 20 OF 80 boys and girls
from four to eight years Of age ranged
about her In a circle For q moment
there was no response to her question.
Then bright looking girl timidly
raised a hand.
"Ahl Julia has learned a verse" the
teacher said. Il am sorry that no
more hands are raised. had hoped
that nearly all Of you would get blue
ribbon But I suppose your mammas
and papas have been very busy and
some Of you forgot Well. Julia, let US
hear your verse"
Walk In the Hight" the little girl
repeated. Then boy who sat near
Julia put up his hand
"Oh" exclaimed the teacher, Char
lie has verse, too. What is it, my
boy~
Walk in the light" responded
Charlie
"Wen,g said the teacher, you
learned the same verse, didn't you'
It's a very good verse, too Walk in
the light hope we may all do so
Now, is there any one else who has
learned a verse? Why, see FIVE
six, seven, eight hands raised will
hear from you, Arthur, first"
Walk in the light, said Arthur
The teacher looked rather hard at
Arthur, and said:
Gladys next, What is your verse;
Speak out loudly so that all the class
may hear"
walk in the light" shouted
Gladys.
BY this time all but two Of the
children who had not been heard from
were holding up their hands The
teacher looked at boy whose name
she had forgotten and asked. "Whaf
verse have you learned?"
Walk in the light. replied tbs
whole crowd In chorus, each little on'
apparently fearing there would no
be another chance to win the blu

FOR MONTH OF MAY

St. Louis, April 29.-May is to be a
continuous performance Of tornadoes,
thunderstorms, hail, and frost Rev.
Ira r. Hicks, has hung out the danger

tcations.
The merry month is to open with a
series Of thunderstorms approaching
tornado violence in the west. especial
" On the third and fourth. Low baro-
meter sultriness. fitful south winds
and restless clouds indicate almost
positive danger at this time, says Mr..
Hicks The country at large is to be
visited with heavy rains and hail, fol
lowed by late snow squalls and sleet.
Frosts will be natural and much proba-
bility Of seismic disturbances.
Careful watching is advised BY the
ST. Louis prognosticator from the 7th
to the 9Th, and frost is due from the
18th to the 11th generally High tenn
perature daily rains and thunderstorms
with probable tornadoes. is on the
menu for the 18th to the 10th, and
floods over wide sections follow i'm
mediately from the 10th to the 18th.
From the 18th to the 22nd is not threat
ening, but look out for tornadoes, says
Mr. Hicks
Quiet and calm and much warmer
until the Oath will usher in the most
dangerous period OF the month, and
Monday Tuesday and Wednesday, the
25th, 26tn and 27th, storms may be
expected to become very threatening
If not tornado. The 27th is the 18th
anniversary of the St Louis cyclone.
The danger area extends over the cen.
tral and western parts of the country.
The month is to end in comparative

TOBACCO TRUST
MANAGER TALKS


San Francisco, April "a man
cannot earn fortune on a salary,
nor by the sweat of his brow.
"If you want to reach the nerve
center Of competitor strike his
pocketbook.
These two gems of thought from
James Buchanan Duke, head and
front of the $4O0, 900, 900 American
tobacco Trust and se1f-madc man,
who has arrived here on a pleasure
trip. He Is accompanied by his bride
and mother-in-luw.
Mr.. Duke has some forceful ideas
on how money can be made, and he
expressed them.
Don't wasts any time on expert
ments and theories" he suggested,
"but hit straight at the pocketb0ok
when you are after a competitor"
He puts this system into operation
when he cornered the tobacco bust
neos in England.
"Can a man earn a fortune on
salary? No. sir, he can't" he con-
tinued. Nor can he earn on by
the sweat Of his brow. He must first
save enough money to engage In
business. He must see some need
OF the public and then pitch in and

In Tennysons palace of Art occur
the lines:
She saw the snowy poles and moons Q!
Mars.
That mystic field of drifted light
In mid Orion, and the married stars.
This at first looks like a literary par
allel TO Swift's well known fortuitous
forecast of the discovery of the Mar
tan satellites, and J. S Stevenson,
writing from Blsiravon, Norwood,
Ceylon- points out that Professor H.
Fl. Turner quotes it in Modern Astron.
omy" as having been written in 1895
This, however. appears not to have
been the case. for Mr.. Stevenson on
reference TO the biography of the late
poet laureate by the present Lord
Tennyson has found the note: The
Moons of Mars Is the only modern
reading here. All the rest are more
than half a century old" Scientific dis
covery was thus not anticipated by
Tennyson IA the mention of Marian
satellites.-Nature.

Gold when refined from all impuri.
ties" said jeweler. land alloys of in.
feror metals is denominated pure.
This means gold Of twentyfour caratsr
and this is the standard recognized by
the mint master and dealers in gold.
AS a matter of fact. however, there is
no gold SO pure. Gnd of twenty two
carats is about as pure as it can be got.
1t has two parts of silver or one part
of silver and one part of copper The
copper darkens the color of gold. while
silver lghtens it in color. Twenty
three carat gold is occasionally seen,
which means half carat of silver and
of copper. Ordinarily eighteen carat
gold is the best gold than can be had.
Certainly it is the best for jewelry, for
pure gold, as it is called, is too soft and
will wear away much faster than the
owners of it desire.
