'VN|TA SUFFERS
HER FIRST DEFEAT.
Heavy Team From Muskogee Was
the Victor in Saturdays Strug-
gle by Score IL to 9

Anyway it was a good game, is all
the consolation the Vinita high school
football boys get out of the struggle Sat
urday, in which they met their tlrst de-
feat of the season, at the hands of the
much heavier team from Muskogee. The
score was Muskogee II. Vinita 6. It was
a valiant fight the little team OF the Vi
nita high school put up. but the great ad-
vantage the visitors had in weight was
too much for the locals to overcome. How
ever. it is believed that two minutes

the long end of the score in Vinita's fa-
..A,r. for the way the locals played the last
few minutes of play was worth the money
Muskogee made her first touchdown
lust four minutes after the game started
and failed on an attempt to punt outline
Vinita team then took brace and the
Muskogee team was unable to do any
more than keep the locals from crossing
their goal. When the second half began
the visitors seemed to have been revived
and in three minutes had again crossed
Vinitas goal and this time punted out
and kicked goal. Muskogee II, Vinita o.
From this time the Vinita team had all
the best of the argument and made long
gains at will through the visitors line.
Four and half minutes before the close
of the game Captain Franklin carried the
ball through the right wing of the line
for Vinita's only touchdown. Chamber
lin kicked perfect goal
On the next kick off the ball went out
Of bounds at Vinita's thirty yard line,
where it was captured by Vinita. The
locals then again began an irresistible
march towards Muskogee's goal. but lost
the ball on Muskogee's thirty yard line
Muskogee attempted fake play and lost
five yards, and the game ended witt
Muskogee in possession of the ball on hel
own twenty-five yard line and it was the
second down with fifteen yards to gain.
While the Muskogee boys claimed to bt
legitimate high school Ilayers, they were
the largest and oldest looking high school
team ever seen here. In case Vinita wins

What Country pweIlers Need.

A third Of our population is urban;
the rest is more or less rural. What
the country dwellers need to make
them happy are religion, education
and material prosperity. The farms
cannot employ as many laborers per
acre as they did before the coming Of
agricultural machinery. Therefore
they must either raise fewer children
or export some of their population to
the cities.-Harper's Weekly.

Muskogee, okla, Nov l6.--Company II,
Oklahoma National Guard, is under arms
here awaiting orders from Governor Has
kell to 60 to Okmulsee by special train. A
telephone message from Governor Haskell
at II O'Clock last night says that he will
not order the company to 0kmulgee unless
he receives further information. The otfl-
ciaIs here have advised him that the town
is quiet, though there is still considerable
feeling over the shooting.
Last week the district court was in ses-
sion in Olomulgee and there were many
convictions of negro bootleggers. Satur-
day complaint was made because the jury
convicted the negroes as fast as they
came to trial. The jury was composed OF
white men. A negro woman was to be
tried Saturday and Judge Alexander had
special jury composed Of negroes try
her: She was acquitted. This caused a
bitter race feeling, and today an effort
will be made to quash the panel OF negro
Jurors. This may cause trouble,
Okmulgee has 5000 inhabitants. There
are 500 negroes there.

LACE AT THE THROAT,

The tailor costumes of the present
season are all built on mere or less
severe lines, and to relieve this sim
plicity of effect unusually full and long
ties and jabots are worn at the throat.
In exceptionally warm weather,
which necessitates leaving jacket un-
fastened in front, and when no vest Is
worn, the jabot may fall the entire
length Of the bodice, but with the coat
closed the tie is very full and long
enough to reach from a third to half
way to the belt, according to the line
which is most becoming.
The jabot or frill is generally of
finest batiste, and bordered either with
scalloped edge in white or light
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1908-07-10
uS3n

color or with narrow baby Irish and
va!enciennes lace.
The majority of the frills are futed,
SO as to stand out stihly
While many of the jabots have a
small bow knot or rosette of lace or
hand embroidery at the top. this fin
ish is not considered necessary, and
the end of the material may simply be
tucked under the stiff collar. where it
is held in place by a pretty brooch or
jewel bar pin.
Brussels Net for Ties.
Brussels net is used a great deal for
all ties. frills and jabots. and, as be-
ing somewhat newer than the other
materials, is steadily increasing in
favor for this purpose.
For the long tuted frills this net
bordered only with narrow lace
edging is most attractive, while one
exceedingly pretty accessory for the
collar was composed only of huge
bow knot of net the ends finished with
narrow Cluny edging.
High stocks of unIned net, tucked
or embroidered batiste, and chiffon
finished with stiff bow knots of lingerie
or ribbon or with long full jabots, are
now worn quite as much as the stiff
laundered collars of embroidered linen.
New Style Boon.
The Introduction of this style OF
neckwear before the arrival of the hot
months is boon which can only be
fully appreciated by those who suf.
fered through last summer in collars
as high and stiff as the fashion laws
then demanded.
If the very stiff bows are more be-
coming than those of softer net, it is
an excellent plan to purchase a yard
of bride illusion, which, while ex.
pensive, is so very wide that from one
yard can be made innumerable bows
and ties.
The illusion loses its stiffness when
cleaned, but when reckoned by the
amount for each bow is not extor-
tionately high priced, and one bow can
be worn surprisingly often.
