Creates State
Board
OF Public Affairs -ImpOr-
tant Bill introduced
Senate

Guthrie, Okla. Feb. 4.--The creation
Of a special board to be known as the
board OF public affairs. is the object
Of senate bill No. 223 by Senators Ech-
OILS, Meminger and Stafford. 1t pro
vides for the selection Of three com
missioners at salary Of $4,000 each
per annum, whose duty It shall be to
handle all business matters wherein
the state expends money, such as con
tracing for and building state insti-
tutions, the handling OF public printing
andthe dozen of other highly important
duties that are now thrown upon
boards composed of various state Of
ficlals The chief argument In favor
OF this bill Is that none Of the state
officials have time to perfect them
selves in the various lines Of knowl-
edge that the duties OF the board ne
cessitates.
It IS figured that the saving Of such
board in one year would defray the
entire expense Of its operation for four
years. Now that Oklahoma is about
to build several state institutions and
expend large sums for these already
in operation. the necessity for thor
ough knowledge of the various projects
and subjects Is recognized by the state
officials who have but few hours
each week to give the matters
thought
The measure has the approval OF
many of the state officers who hold
positions in various boards by virtue
of their office.

FARMING NOW MADE /. SCIENCE.
Work That the Colleges Have Done,
and Have Yet 70 DO.

Agriculture must rise TO meet the
college man. declares writer In the
Century Magazine. The leading agri-
cultural colleges are now so well es-
tablished, and are teaching IN such d.
rect and applicable ways. that they
are creating a body Of ability and SEN
timent touching country life that has
never been known before, This abil-
ity and sentiment is bound to express
itself. The influence Of these colleges
and experiment stations viii surely
remake agriculture and redirect It.
This redirection will not show IL
self in increasing the productiveness
Of the earth only, although this must
be the fundamental effort and result.
II must consist as well IN reorganizing
the business or commercial interests
OF agriculture, and In a radical change
In the ideals and modes Of living. We
shall be able TO increase the profitable
ness of farming when we have learned
to apply our science. and 10 organize
II as a part Of good business systems
We are now In the epoch OF the lauda'
ton Of science itself, as II the mere
knowledge Of the laws underlying
good crop and animal production can
make good farmer.

CHURCH USED As PosToFFIcE.
Many Travellers Have Letters Ad-
dressed TO Sacred Ediflces.

Il had no idea,' said the new post
man to a sexton. that churches got
such heavy mail Who are all these
letters for anyhow
For strangers who worship here, "
said the sexton. This and those other
two churches on your route are well
known the country over. When young
people from other towns make up
their minds to come to New York their
folk at home are pretty badly worried
over them In their anxiety they re-
member one Of these popular churches
that everybody has read about, and
they grasp at II - last hope. They
don't know just what the wanderers
will do in New York or where they
will drift. so they say: We will write
you for a while In care Of Mr.. Blanks
church.
And they do write here. That
brings the young people around for
the mail anyhow. and after that, from
a sense Of obligation alone, they come
back to the service. II means a little
extra work for the sexton to look aft
er all these letters, but the. influence
for good in the lives of the youngsters
more than makes up for it'-NeN
