Farmers should be careful in re-
gard to marketing of stale eggs.
The state pure foods inspectors are
watching this business pretty close
ly and any one selling bad eggs is
liable to a fine so heavy that it will
be a great hardship on many to pay
it. A fine of'$150 was recently i'm

the pieces bore the Greek word for the

coins are all in very high relief. so

The big real estate deal that was made
yesterday-the purchase of the college
land. consisting Of 100 acres adjoining
the city on the north.-and which at one
time was said to be the most valuable
tract of land outside of townsites in the
Cherakee nation, marks the beginning Of
new and larger growth for Vinita. The
group Of men who thus showed their con-
finence in this city are wise enough to
foresce the good results Of large invest
ment that depends altogether upon the
future growth Of the town.
The gentleman who negotiated the sale
knew that had not vinita been construct
ing sidewalks and paving streets on a
large scale no deal would have been pos
sibIe.
Mr.. John j. Harden, the representative
Of the Harden Realty company stated to
d representative Ct the Daily Chieftain
that the presence Of 50 many men at
work IN various parts Of the city and the
paving Of seven blocks now in progress
determined him in closing the deal.
The money Vinita is spending in street
improvement is not like the scriptural
bread cast upon the waters to be gathered
up many days hence. but is being gath
cred even while the work is in progress.

question which is prbbably really upper

really matter 50 much TO the country
after all Politics only concerns the aver
age American as ne thinks the success
Of one set Of principles Or another win
affect the country's progress and welfare.
The country has been looking for a
business revival ever since il caught It's
breath after the temporary collapse Of
last fall, but there was not much hopes
Of its real appearance until after the cleo

the signs Of recovery have been multi

that perhaps We may not have to wait

due to the general discountine Of the out

Of unusually favorable conditions outside

greatest, in aggregate the country has
ever known and money Is low and pEen-

IN the reports Of increasing trade and
general resumption Of activity in mills

Of production. Apparently the conclu-

Mrs. 6rady's Helpful Hint to Her
Faithful "Mlcky."

The Bradys used to drive several
miles to mass each Sunday in "the
little thrap" with "th' ould gray mare. /"
Micky, "the boy" a being of many
summers, whom custom and a con-
servative tradition had, in spite of his
uncertain years. always treated as the
possessor Of perpetual adolescence,
drove. Next him sat Mrs. Brady,
decorous In black while scattered
about the straw in the body of the
vehicle, was a large assortment OF
the childer"-B Bradys OF all ages,
sexes and sizes. bare-legged and other
wise-each exuberant and articulate.
It remains to this day disputed
point among the Bradys as to what
memory of earlier and more frisky
days induced ''th' ould gray mare" to
behave as she did on this particular
Sunday.
Rounding a corner she swerved into
the ditch. and before Mlcky. the boy.
could cope with the situation, pile OF
Bradys. vertical and horizontal, had
been dumped into the ditch. with the
little trap turned over and resting on
top OF the struggling heap.

came Mrs. Brady's voice: Pull me

vessel of the aerial regions Naviga-
ton of the air depends upon every
force working in perfect harmony.
In land navigation if a locomotive
runs off the track it is still on the
earth if it stops in. collision its
passengers can step on terra firma
even if 1t catches fire there is ground
surrounding and place for them to
run in the attempt to save lits.
In navigation of the sea there are
also helpers in the case of accidents.
In shipwreck a man may crawl into
the rigging, or into another boat,
or life-preserver; even if the ves-
sci goes down he may still combat
the waves and keep himself afloat till
rescued or hope is abandoned But
in the air there is no succor. Moth
ing but momentum, equilibrium and
atmospheric resistance houd the
aviator up. Interference with either
will dash him to the ground and to
death.
For this cause there must either
| be made many improvements to the
| aeroplane or it must be a long time
| before it will become popular or of

has not died in vain. 1t was a fine

Shipwreck in the Air.
Cincinnati Inquirer.)

The tragic accident which des-
troyed Orville Wright's aeroplane and
killed his brave companion, besides
severely injuring the aviator him
self, will put no appreciate check
upon mans determination to con-
quer the air. Airships, aeroplanes.
and ballons of every sort will still
tempt fate in the attempt to solve all
the problems of aerial navigation.
The wounded man himself will COM
mence work demonstrating his ma
chine as soon as his injuries allow
him to get on his feet. The accident
was the result of a bit of defective
machinery and not due to any false
principle so far as the construction
or handling of the machine is con-
cerned
But it calls attention to one fact,
which will probably retard the value
of the aeroplane as a practical COM
mercial factor for some years. And
that is the almost utter impossible
ty of providing against accidents in
any work of human hands and the
almost certain fatal results that may
be expected from any mishap to a
