TRACK MEET WILL Be
HELD HERE ON APRIL 30

The vinita high school is going 20
attempt something new in the way
OF athletics which win open the chance
for the boys not physically capable
of taking part IN the games of football
and baseball This is in the shape
Of a track and field meet 10 be hell
in this city ON April 80 Prof. Fitch
has organized an association which
he wil4 attgnpt to make annual, to
consist of the high schools of the var
ious surrounding towns and in which
the sOilowiuE events ,mre to take place
for which prizes will be offered for
first place For this year the events
viii be as follows Pole vault run
ming high jump, running broad jump.
shot put, ~ pounds, hammer throw, IL
pounds, discus throw, 100 yard dnsh,
22O yard dash, 22O yard hurdles, 44O
yard run, mile run.
Tho this other events may be added
The original idea of ]. p. #. was
to get organized the high schools OF
Chelsea. Miami, Pryor Creek and AZ
ton together with Vinita. Further
than this, the schools have not been
sounded but others may enter. Any
student OF these high schools, good or
bad viii be allowed to compete in as
many events as he desires lie must
be regular attendant, and as an In
ducement for study will be required
to have his work up to a certain stand
ard. The idea OF the field meet is to
give physical training to pupils, to
give them relaxation from school
work ia doors and give all the pupils
a chance at some OF the pleasures to
be derived from competition III athletic
games, from which his physique has
hithertc. perhaps kept him barred.
The advantage Of this kind of work
will readily be seen by those, who
are opposed to harder athletics.
There IL practically no chance for the
track or field athlete to receive the
slightest injury 1t takes very little
time from the studies, requiring only
a few minutes each day for the train
ing Again the boy is brought to
realization of the physical injury
which the habits he may have formed
are doing him. in a more forcible man
ner than any verbal method is pos
sible to give.
The work in the various schools will
be directly under the supervision Of
some members of the faculty and will
be very closely watched that the
boys are not allowed to over-traln.
The Vinita high school has some
athletes Of whom she is Justly proud.

Guthrie, okla, March 2S.- The
state free employment bureau created
by the first state legislature and back.
ed by the labor unions of the state
is proving a boom to many laborers,
who have secured positions through
fits operation. Since the bureau was
/ first established in 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 II. G. Moody, a union printer
Of Enid. was placed in charge as su.
perlntendent. The branch bureaus
pay salaries to the superintedents of
81 500 each. per annum
That the state free employment bu-
feau has proven a 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-
ceived and the per centage of the to-
tai number Of applicants from whom
places we're 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 ap-
plications we're received IN December
and only 347 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 dur
ing the month and 8S4 IN November.
Altogether 1852 applications were
received az Oklahoma city during the
six months and employment secured
for 1926 applicants, including 141O
males and 409 females, Muskogee did
not experience the same slump In De

Jew in his travels, and must have walked
the distance around the world many times
between the village and his home near the
"mines'.
We all have a vivid recollection of Seth
Trundy. His place OF abode was in Surry,
l think, but he had adopted US, and his
appearance in our streets was the signal
for the gathering OF the clans among the
bows and girls. He never failed to put in
an appearance at the vestry door after one
of those never-to- be- forgotten tea parties
that obtained in the days when our
mothers and grandmothers were raising
the money to pay for the church organ.
He was a regular dumping ground for all
the broken food that was left, and it was
religiously kept for him. His gastrono-
mic feats are told OF to this day. George
Clough says that Seth once, on bet, de-
youred twelve dozen eggs at sitting, and
asked for more. A mercy that they were
only ten cents per dozen instead OF fifty,
or the town would have been bankrupt.
John Clay, when he came down from
his home in the abingdon" to assist at
any domestic rites, was as thirsty as Seth
was hungry, and the housewives always
got out their biggest coffee and teapots
when he appeared. Hot and strong, ana
lots of it, suited him.

complaint in those days, when everybody
sailed on an even keel.
