Down at Muskogce tho baseball fans
are having a celebAtion, are cutting
up and having a great time. In Tulsa
they are going around wearing long
faces and looking as il the world
might come to an end And the rea-
son
Tulsa is in the cellar; the lid is
closed, and MuskOge is on top. by
losing three straight games to Sa-
pulpa, Tulsa became the cellar cham
pions; by winning three straight games
from Independence, Muskogee was
able to get out Of the tail end posi-
ton.
But the significant thing is that the
two teams which are on the lower
two rounds of the Western Assoca-
ton baseball ladder are going to mix
today at the South Main Street Park.
Tulsa was to have played Sapulpa
here today but a change in the schc-
dule makes Muskoge and Tulsa. Sapul-
pa and Fort Smith, and Concyville
and Independence contest
The Tulsa team went up in the air
at Sapulpa when the pitching staff
was reduced to four men. The pitch
crs have not all settled down to Their
gait There are better things in store
for the future, but right now Is the
crucial moment.
Turn out to the game this after
noon and Sc Tulsa climb out of the cal-
lar. Your roofing will help It do so.

JUDGE WV. BoTTs, giving out
a statement for the board OF direc-
tors Of the Mexico, Perry G Santa
Fo Traction Company, said in part
that If the people who have made
subscriptions and have not paid then
Evil come forward promptly and If
those whose subscriptions have ex.
pired would renew the same, the
road would be completed" This puts
the responsibility directly up tc
those who are going to reap the
benefits. Every dollar subscribed
Should be paid promptly as 1t falls
due, and those whose time has ex-
pired on subscription should prompt
ly renew. What we want is the com
pletlon of the railroad. 1t takes
money to build railroads, and those
who are going to Re benefited must
furnish the slGtws of war. "Out-
side capital" is not coming in unless
home people show their faith by
their works. Those who have not
paid their subscriptions and those
,who have not subscribed should at
least refrain from criticising the
management Of the enterprise. Ad-
vice and suggestions are always well
isome, but should come from those
who are participating in the expense:

HORACE MUNDY EXHIBITS
SAMPLE OF APPLE CROP
Brings limb cut from the top Of
young tree that he has watered
for two weeks containing over a
dozen eppies.

Horace Mundy, one of Audrain's
most progressive farmers, residing
northwest of this city, brought to
this office, Wednesday, sample of
his early apple crop. Thel Nlimbl
which he exhibited here was cut from
the top Of one of his young trees
which he has watered for about two
weeks Though the fruit is not SO
large as ordinarily on account of the
extreme dry weather, the limb which
is about two feet long had about 1S
apples ON it.
Mr.. Mundy says the tree from
(which the sample was taken is so
heavily laden with the fruit that he
has to prop up the limbs to keep
them from breaking off. The apple
is of the early harvest variety.
Mr.. Mundy says the dry weather
is not only running the corn, but is
destroying the apple crop.
