4 KINGS tn.1.a.

I NlN1O AZ. i-J,
And when the queen of Sheba heard
OF the fame Of Solomon concerning
the name of the Lord, she came to
prove him with hard questins.
And she came to Jerusalem with a
very great train, with camels that
bare spices, and very much gold, and
precious stones; and when she was
come to SOLOMON, she communed with
him of all tliat was IN her heart.
And solomon told he9 all her .ques-
iicn: there was NOT anything hid from
he king; which he told her OF.
And when the. queen Of Sheba had
seen all Solomonis wihdom, and the
house that he had built.
And the meat OF his table, and the
sitting Of his servants, and the at
iendance Of his ministers, and their
apparel, md his cup-bearers, and his
ascent by which he went up unto the
house of the Lord; there was no more
spirit in her.
And she said to the king, 1t was a
true report that ] heard in my own
land of thy acts and OF thy wisdom.
Howbeit, believed not the words,
until | came, and mine eyes had seen
IL; and behold. the half was not told
me; thy wisdom and prosperity ex-
seedeth the fame which | heard.
Happy are these men, happy are
these thy servants, which stand con-
tinually before thee, and that hear
thy wisdom.
Blessed be the Lord, thy God, which
delighted in thee, to set thee on the
throne of Israel; because the Lord
loved ISRAEL for ever therefore made
be thee king, 10 do judgment and jus
tce

THE LEGISLATIVE
PROPOSED AMENDMENT

The public should remember that
there are Two proposed amendments
to the Oklahoma constitution in
volving the regulation of corporations
The following is the proposed sub
stitute for Sec. 8 Art. 8 of the con-
stitution, submitted by joint resolu-
lion or the Legislature at the regular
1909 session.
Section g. If any railroad company
transportation company or transmits
sion company organized under the
laws of this state, shall consolidate
by sale or otherwise, with any rail-
road company transportation com
pany or transmission company organ
lied under The laws OF any other state
or, of the United States, the same
shall not thereby become foreign
corporation but the courts of this state
shall retain jurisdiction in all matters
which may arise, as if said consoli-
dation had no. taken place
The above proposed amendment is
different and distinct from the one
to be voted upon June II. The above
proposition will be voted upon at the
general election In Novembec, by the
terms of the resolution proposing it.
The interests favoring the amend
ment to be voted upon June II have
initiated it because the legislative
proposition does not go far enough
to suit them.

NOTES OF THE COMET.

r. l.. says: After reading your
article on The HALEY comet yesterday
my wife and the children got up this
morning, also the writer, and scanned
the heavens for the stellar attraction.
1t was too cloudy, however, and we
didn't see anything that looked like
a ing-tailed tooter. Only one good
thing resulted: My wife was up in
time to get breakfast for me before
! went to work"
A render says: There Is something
that looks very much like a comet,
or an air ship with searchlight on
IL, lowering around in the sky in our
back va d but as yet we have been
unable to decide whether ii is the real
thing or not. Looks like il might be,
though VIII get up tomorrow morn.
Ing and look again, and will let YOU
know. Ny hoy has oue-dollar kodak
and will take a picture of It IL the
conditions are just right"
Emma s., writes: I'VE saw the big
komit last night about three o'clock
this morning. II sure is a dandy; It
is in the west part of the state and
looks enough ike a half moon to be
a NOON sure enough It's sure worth
getting up 10 see if you are interest
cd in ecclesiastical things"
John r. G., says: "We have organ.
lied comet club In our neighbor-
hood and the first one who locates 1t
Is 10 get reward, and will be ex-
pected to come around and point 1t out
to the other members of the club
Another who does mot sign his
name, Says thata he saw the comet last
night about 12:31, as he was coming
from the lodge, and that it looked
like one of the new electric street
lights; can not remember on which
corner II was. but knows 1t was red
and went round and round Says he
was waiting for 1t 10 come around
again as he went to bed.

Why Newspapers FAIL.

Ninty-fve per cent of the men
starting newspapers fail.
Sometimes the paper dies when the
publisher becomes bankrupt, sometimes
It passes through a series of owners,
nearly all of whom lose their invest
ment, until the time, the field and the
right man come together.
There are more business fools in
the printing and publishing game than
in almost any occupation.
The average publisher starting a
new daily, is too inexperienced or toe
dense to comprehend the business
laws underlying successful journalism.
Population and capital are essentials.
The greater the population the greater
the capital required. 49,.
The revenue to support a publication
can be figured per capita of popula'
ton. If the available revenue be
concentrated into one channel, the
output is a better product than il

YAKIMA TO GROW
Big SHOW APPLES

The North Yakima Commercial Club
is planning to superintend the grow
ing of fine apples to compete at the
Spokane National Apple Show next
fall. In brief the plan is as follows:
The entire matter is to be under the
! general direction of the Yakima Com
mercial Club. The club is to appoint a
committee of three men, these three
men to be, as nearly as can be selected,
the three best judges of orchards and
fruit in Yakima county. This com
mittee is to be assisted in turn one
man from each seperate fruit district
in the county, such as Selah, Naches,
North Yakima, Parker, Zillah, Granger
| Sunnyside, Outlook, Mabton, Grand
view and such other sections as there
NAV be. These men are to be chosen
by the fruit growers in the different
districts.
When these committees are chosen,
which will be as soon as definite ac-
tions can be taken, they are to make
selection of orchards from which the
exhibit apples are to be taken. For
instance The best Winesap orchard
in the county will be chosen for the
carload exhibit of Winesaps, the best
Yellow Newtown orchard is for the
Yellow Newtown carload exhibit, and
SO on through the list of all the
varieties of which it is intended to
make carload exhibits. The same pro-
cedure is to be followed in the selection
of the orchards from which are to be
taken the various box and plate ex-
hibits.
The owners of the orchards are to
agree to cultivate their orchards for
the season with the exhibits in view,
the purpose being to secure the highest
perfection of fruit that can be otain-
ed by the best methods of cultivation
by the use of the greatest care ir
growing and handling.
