ST. ELMO, ATTRACTION
At AUDITORIUM TONIGHT

From the pages of Augusta j. Evans
famous novel of the south, "St. Elmo"
Neil Twomey has evolved drama
which will have a local hearing at the
Auditorium tonight. Since it was first
offered to the public a half century
ago, the book mas been among the
most popular of the works of native
authors, and two generations have
testified to its excellence. To the
dramatist it has always presented a
particularly difficult task. for the
crowded incidents of the written page
do not lend themselves readily to
transposition to the stage. Lengthy
descriptions and exhausted philos-
optical discussions possible to
the author of book, may not be re-
sorted to by the writer for the the
atre and the countless incidents which
may with profit be brought to the at.
tention Of the reader are not available
for the delectation OF the auditor Mr..
Twomey's task therefore was a diff
cult one, and If the assertion of the
management of Et Elmo is to be
credited to the effect that Mr.. Twom-
ey's labor has brought forth drama
that will appeal to the most captious
critic, he has achieved a notable re-
suit. The play has been staged under
the personal direction of the author
and has the advantage of fitting
scenic establishment. The interpret
ing company it is further promised, is
made up of carefully selected players,
upon whom no effort of preparation
las been spared.

Miss Alison came into national prom
inence a year ago by winning a case
before the federal supreme court, in
which that tribunal reversed the ac-
ton Of the secretary of the interior
in striking the names of 1900 Indians
entitled to land in the territory from
the approved rolls of the five civilized
tribes. The suit was instituted in the
name Of Miss Allison and in behalf
Of her family against the advice Of
kin and friends. but she met with sue
cess at every point.
The initial action was a petition for
writ of mandamus against the de-
partment Of the interior, the first in
IA years, and the writ issued, making
a test case. All proceedings in the
new state Of Oklahoma were at a
standstill pending a decision. The

CORN PLANTING INTERESTS
SENATORS FROM OKLAHOMA

Washington, D. c., March 2s.-Corr

owen and Gore taking a keen inter
est in the scientific culture Of that
important staple In this connection
Senator Owen advocated the study ol
Hartley's improvement of corn BY
seed selection" found in the Yearbook
Of 1902.
The harvest can actually be doubl-
ed without extra labor or cost by us
ing well selected seed. rather than
Indifferent or poor seed" declared
Senator Owen. There is a vast diff
ference in seed when it comes to rails
ing corn, as much difference as there
is between popcorn and the mammoth
variety. There is also a difference
in the size of the grain, in one var
iety. and in another a vast difference
in the size Of the cob: which means a
vast difference in the productive quail
ity. And when it comes TO feeding
hogs you must have corn"
Continuing he said.
Not single seed should be planted
that is not selected and every man
should really raise his own seed corn,
so that he knows that he is getting
the best"
In the selection Of seed. he continu.
ed. 1t must be remembered that corn
having very long kernels affords the
best means Of producing a eorn-ear

in selecting long kernels quality must
not be overlooked Frequently the.
quality of kernel is very poor on ears
having the longest kernels. The best
shaped kernels are those of good
length. leaving the least space unoc-

Guthrie. Okla. March IS The
state free employment bureau created
by the first state legislature and back
ed by the labor unions of the state,
is proving boom to many laborers,
who have secured positions through
its operation. Since the bureau was
first established id Guthrie, nearly
two years ago, three branch bureaus
have been created by subsequent leg
islatures and are now located at Mus
kogee. Oklahoma City and Enid. the
latter was created by the legislature
which adjourned during the past
week. H. c. Moody. a union printer
.of Enid. was placed in charge as su-
perintendent The branch bureaus

$500 each. per annum.
That the state free employment bu-
reau has proven great boon to the
laborer, who is down on his luck, is
demonstrated by figures prepared by
Labor Commissioner Charles Daugh-
erty, showing that during the last six
months of the year 1909 employment
was secured for 5.444 applicants with
out one cent of expense to them. Al
together 1856 applications were re-
ceiyed, and the per centage of the to-
tai number Of applicants from whom
places were secured would have been
much larger, but for the slump in the
building trades and paving work dur
ing the month of December, caused
by the unusually cold weather.
AT the Oklahoma City office 1858 APP
plications were received in December
and only 947 applications were plac-
ed Prior to November Is. employ
ment was secured for practically so
per cent of the applicants. October
was the month when the Oklahoma
City Office had the biggest demand for
laborers, 459 having been placed dursl
ing the month and 9S4 in November.
Altogether 1862 applications were
received al Oklahoma City during the |
six months and employment secured |
for 1926 applicants. including l,41O |
males and 409 females. Muskogee did
not experience the same slump in De-
cember that Oklahoma City did, but
placed AIS out of 525 applicants, the
largest number placed during any
month of the year This is due to
the beginning of the work on the new
Standard Oil pipe line of the Gulf,
which employed large number of lab
orers. The figures also show that the
floating population there is much
smaller as 1879 of those placed were

, The Care of the Refrigerator,

Nothing can be more dangerous to
the health of a household than u re-
frigerator carelessly kept
One Of the first essentials Is to see
that the drain pipe is not connected
with the house drain, because of the
possibility that sewer gas might come
up the waste pipe into the refrigera-
tor. At any event 1t is not desirable
to have the food supply connected
with the house drain.
The refrigerator should be we'll
cleansed once week and oftener in
hot weather. Strong ammonia water
is good to use for the cleaning, then
rinse and wipe dry. One Of the prop
critics of good refrigerator is perfect
dryness. Any food with a strong odor
should be kept from the company Of
milk and butter. A few bananas will
ruin the flavor of a jar of butter in
a few hours.
Charcoal or a piece of dry lime if
kept in the food compartment will
absorb odors and impurities. Keep
milk and butter closely covered so
that the flavor may not be lost or
changed.
