commercial farming; and still more
for those engaged in domestic farm
ing of those who live on and by the
small farms they themselves own.
Regarding Farm Labor.
| One feature of the problem should
be recognized by the farmer at once,
and an effort made to deal with it. It
is our duty and our business to con.
slider the farm laborer exactly as we
consider the farmer. No country life
can be satisfactory when the owners
OF farms tend. for whatever reason.
| to go away to live in cities instead
of working their farms; and. moreover,
1t cannot be really satisfactory when
the labor system Is so managed that
there is for part of the year a demand
for labor which cannot be met, and
during another part of the year no
demand for labor at all, so that the
farmers tend to rely on migratory la
borers who come out to work in the
country with no permanent interest
in it and with no prospect of steady
employment.
life must always be shaped with view
to the welfare of the farmers wife
and the farm laborer's wife, quite as
much as to the welfare of the farm
er and the farm laborer. To have
the women a mere drudge is at least
as bad as to have the man mere
drudge. It is every whit as important
to introduce new machines to econo-
mize her labor within the house. az
1t Is to introduce machinery to in
crease the effectiveness. of his labor
outside the house. haven't the
slightest sympathy with any move
ment which looks to excusing men and
women for the n-performance of
duty and fixes attention only on rights
and not on duties. The woman who
shirks her duty as housewife. as. mo-
ther. is contemplate creature; just
as the corresponding man is con-
! temptible creature.
But the welfare of the woman Is
even more important than the well
fare of the man; for the mother is the
real Atlas, who bears aloft in her
strong and tender arms the destiny
of the world. She deserves honor and
consideration such as no man should
receive. She forfeits all claim to this
honor and consideration If she shirks
her duties. But the average American
woman does not shirk them: and it is
a matter of the highest obligation for
us to see that they are performed
under conditions which make for her
welfare and happiness and for the
welfare and happiness of the children
she brings into the world.

CHAMPION ALL-AROUND
ATHLETE is SELF-MADE

Los Angeles, Cal--Fred C. Thomson
who took the highest athletic honors
Of the country by winning the highest
number of points in the competition
In Chicago for the ali-around cham
pionship Of America, began his ath-
letic career at Occidental Academy
eight years ago.
For the first three years of his pre-
| paratory course he was considered an
| athletic impossibility by all the men
who coached him, with the exception
| OF DR. e. s. Merrill, who started MIN
out on course Of development in
track athletics, and promised him
that If he would stick to the job he
would win first honors in the all
around meet at the close of his senior
year of college.
The first time that Thomson gained
any notice was in the track and foot
ball seasons of '05 and '06 During
this college year he was put on the
varsity squad, and had a few chances
in some of the big games. In the
track season of thar year he won a
few thirds and seconds in the hurdles
and weight events.
The havoc he worked during the
football season is a matter Of history.
The one thing he lacked at this time
was experience. In his sophomore
year his football playing improved,
but not in proportion to his track ac-
tivities. 1t was during the track sea-
son of '09 that Thomson became a
star.
This was his junior year at college,
and he was the mainstay of the Pres
byterians on the cinder path and won
the majority of the events he entered,
closing the season with the highest
individual score ever made in the
south. During the last track season,
and for that matter in all the college
sports Of his senior year, he was
man of the first rank, barring none,
but his greatest record was made in
track.
Thomson was a most consistent
trainer through his athletic career
and besides being star on the field
was a good student and was always
active in all the other branches of col
lege life. He is an example of an
athlete that successfully combined
athletics and college work, and won
out in the end with the highest hon.
ors in both.

COOK SUES VISCOUNTESS.
Numerous Character" Cause Of Am.
usement I'm Vienna Society.

Vienna.-Considera interest is
taken socially in the suit cook is
bringing against her mistress, Wis.,
countess de Fontenay.
The cook, an insolent and bad
tempered woman, has been in the
habit of handing in her resignation
once a fortnight for some long time
past. After three years patient en-
durance, the Viscountess dismissed her
with a character"
The cook tried in vain to get an
other place. At last, suspecting that
everything was not quite all right, she
had the Character" translated and
was astounded to read what the mis-
tress had written:
81, Viscountess de Fontenay here
by certify that I have been in NJ. Ms
excellent and genial service for three
years, and that have done my best
to satisfy her demands.
81 was much upset on recognizing
the impossibility of adopting myself
to her peculiar character, but 1 un-
ceasingly renewed my efforts to keep
on good terms with her on account Of
her really excellent sauces, which
greatly pleased my husband.
81 should like to remain in her SER
vice, but my patience was too severely
tried. 1 am quite willing to furnish
further complimentary particulars"
This character" is the ground of
the cooks complaint. for she does not
appreciate the fun created by it.

TRANSVAAL NEEDS LABOR.
Building is Active and Skilled Mer
Are in Demand.

Pretoria.-In the last 12 months or
more there has also been a continu-
Gus improvement in the demand for
skilled labor in the Transvaal. The
building trade is very active. and the
inspector of white labor expects that
before long it may be difficult to find
enough skilled men to meet require
ments.
There may be a shortage in the
stone-cutting, brick-laying, carpenter
ing, plastering and painting trades,
but only in respect to really compe-
tent workmen. In the engineering

MOSHESH BASUTO UPHELD.
Inquiry on Riot at South African
Mine Leads to Boosts.

Johannesburg.-An interesting re-
port on the circumstances attending
a recent riot at the Premier mine, in
which six natives were killed, has been
presented by Mr.. Innes. the magis-
trate appointed to inquire into the
cause of the outbreak. In all, the
mine gives employment to 1880
blacks, including $500 Moshesh or
British Basutos, and 5000 Transvaal
Basutos. The chief interest of the in
quiry, says the report, circles round
the personality of the Moshesh Basu-
to, who is much appreciated by his
employers on account Of his physique
and intelligence.

ATTORNEY GENERAL TURNS
DOWN vINITA BOND SALE

The attorney general of the state
has just rendered decision of special
interest to Vinitans
Readers of the Chieftain will re-
member that in July, 1909, the school
board was authorized to issue 100000
worth of bonds to build new high
school and ward school. Under the
laws of Oklahoma such bonds must be
sold at par.
The bonds remained unsold until
September goth, when John Nuvine
& Company, of Chicago, agreed to
take them at par, if they could be paid
the interest from July 1st, 1910. The
school board acceded to this PROPOSE
ton, but now the attorney general
decides that they had no right to do
so. SO the deal with Nuvine is off,
and the hoard have the bonds nn their
hands again.

The very first evening he came to
see me father brought out all my old
photographs to show him. My photo
graphs are more than joke-they
are a family disgrace. Mother says
II she didn't have me to exhibit In
proof that don't really look like
them she would throw them all away
First there was my baby picture
that looks like compromise between
a monkey and a scrambled egg Then
there is the one with the short sleeves
and abbreviated skirt that makes me
look as II had on pantalettes. To
add to the fearful sight there are two
little round curls pasted on the brow
like something dreadful that had hap
pened before the war. The worst OF
II was that, no matter how narrowing
they were, they we're all unmistaka-
bly,, unquestionably and indubitabiy
me.
After Fred had seen all the photo
graphs the family sat around and
harked back to the days of my un-
regenerate youth. All the horrible old
family traditions about me were
trotted out They told how I always
made straight for the coal bucket
as soon as l was nicely washed and
dressed They said never was
known to be clean five minutes after
the great feat of dressing me-which
you would think required the help
of half dozen strong men from the
way they tell it-had been accom-
plished They told how / shrieked
when / was bathed, how stuck beans
in my ears and cut off my hair SO
that my head had to be shaved They
related how I had to be spanked every
day when mother tried to teach me
to read, and thousands of other anec-
dotes that long since should have
been consigned to oblivion.
Mother told of the attack Of ty-
phoid fever I had at an age when no
well-regulated child would have
dreamed of such a thing She went
on to describe In detail all the In
home.
Never once did the family leave
the subject of poor me during the
entire evening. Finally Fred's face
took on a set smile and his eyes
grew so CLASSY that I was afraid he
was going to have fit

dear old Aunt Lizzie, who has been a
sort of second mother to me all my

SECRETARY DECLARES
TREATY WILL Be ENFORCED

Durant, Okla, Nov. 5.-Richard A.
Ballinger, secretary of the interior,
has notified Governor Douglas H. John
son of the Chickasaw nation that in
the event the proposed repeal of the
prohibition ordinance of the Oklahoma
constitution should carry Tuesday ac-
ton will be taken by Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham to enforce the pro-
visions of the Altooka treaty. This is
a treaty between the United States
and the Five Civilized Tribes prohibit
ing the sale of liquor on land of the
Five Tribes until 1928.
Governor Johnson became alarmed
at the sentiment in favor of local op-
ton and wrote to Secretary Ballinger,
regarding a strict enforcement of the
treaty stipulations. While in Okla
homa several weeks ago Mr.. Ballin'
ger learned of the situation.
1T is doubtless true that in some
parts of the state the prohibition law
has been laxly enforced" he wrote

DR.. CRIPpENS APPEAL FROM
CONVICTION IS DENIED
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
London, England, Nov. 5.-Dr. Grip
pen was denied an appeal today. A
great crowd gathered at New Bailey
to hear the application for an appeal
from the conviction of murder and the
death sentence. DR.. Crippen stood in
the dock very pale, evidently having
lost strength since the conviction. His
counsel based it's claim on three things,
that the jurors were allowed to leave
court without guard during the trial,
that the body in the cellar was never
completely identified, that the Crowns
rebuttal evidence was improperly ad-
mitted. The evidence offered did not
satisfy the Crown that any of the three
grounds was sufficient for an appeal.

Norman, Okla, Nov 5.-A special
source of pride and satisfaction to the
state university was the great recep-

and the rooters who accompanied it
all along the line of travel during the
recent trip to Joplin. The reports Of
returning students as to the enthusi-
astic welcome accorded them at all
the larger towns they passed through
almost compensates for the defeat of
the team by the Missouri Tigers. Big
delegations, headed by "Old Grads"
and former students met the special at
many of the stops and cheered the
players with college yells and hearty
words of encouragement. At Vinita
several hundred citizens were on the
platform when the train arrived and
welcomed it with a rousing university
yell The people all wore Oklahoma
colors and were as much concerned
over the outcome of the game as the
students themselves. The band and
over one hundred citizens of the me-
tropolis of northeastern Oklahoma ac-
companied the local delegation to Jop,

supported the Sooners has made Vinita

Sweet REVENGE
FOR TULSA HIGH
Locals Defeated For First Time in
Two Years on I he Local
Gridiron.

In what was considered by many as
the most spectacular game ever played
on the local gridiron Vinita high school
met defeat at the hands of the fast
football team of the Tulsa high school
yesterday afternoon.
This was the first defeat for Vinita
on the local grounds in two years. The
victory of Tulsa may be accredited to
the forward pass, for in that depart
ment alone were they equal to the
local warriors. Both of Tulsa's touch
downs were the result of the forward
pass, the first on a neatly executed
pass on the part of Tulsa and the sec
ond Oh an intercepted forward pass by
Vinita, which Erwin, the sturdy left
half back on the Tulsa team caught
on his own goal line and ran the en-
tire length of the field for a touch
down. This was the real sensation of
the game.
The playing of the Tulsa team was
the most open ever attempted here.
This fact furnished the large crowd
ample opportunity to cheer. The new
style of play fooled the Vinita team
during the first two periods and the
Tulsans crossed the locals goal twice
before Vinita awoke to the fact that
Tulsa was in the game to win. Dur
ing the last half the playing of Vinita
was superior to that of her opponents.
In fact the visitors gained their dis
tance but once, except by use Of the
forward pass. In punting Smith best
ed Young easily.
The stars of the locals were Scott,
Elliott and Smith The latter making
a sensational sixty yard run through
the Tulsa team, after capturing a punt
Britt and Wright were great on de.
fense and to their prowess was due
the breaking up of several of Tulsa's
formations.
The playing of John Young, quarter
back of the visitors, was easily the
best of the visiting team. Cool and
collected at all times this promising
young athlete piloted his teammates
to their first victory against Vinita
Erwin was probably the most efficient
ground gamer for Tulsa, although Nc
Alester was also a tower of strength
