WELLS-FARCO MEN TO
GET usual TURKEYS
THANKSGIVING BIRDS GIVEN
by COMPANY FOLLOWING
AN OLD CUSTOM.

Every employe Of the Wells-Fargo
express company in Tulsa will receive
a big Turkey for his Thanksgiving
dinner as present from the company.
The turkeys are provided for ahead
OF time according to n custom which
the WelIs-Fargo company has had
for over thirty years.
The custom of giving treats to the
employees on holidays was started
about thirty years ago by John j.
Valentine one of the early presidents
Of the concern. At that time both
Christmas and Thanksgiving turkey
and other holiday edihles were given
to the men. That practice of giving
away two turkeys on two occasions
during the year was probably con-
sidcred too expensive by the company,
so It was cut to Thanksgiving alone.
Another nice thing in connection
with Thanksgiving day for the Wells
Fargo men is that they are given a
half holiday No omploye will be
given a turkey or half-holiday unless
he has worked at least six months.

TULSA I|AY GET
A NEW Theatre
BELL OLENDORF BALLARD
AMUSEMENT SYNDICATE HAVE
EXTENSIVE PLANS.
TO include This CITY
VIII Play Summer Stock Companies
Presenting Highest Class At
fractions In Middle West.

Tulsa will probably have hand
some new Airdome theater next
season which will be one of twenty
similar houses in this and neighbor
ing states which will be owned and
controlled by the Bell Olendorf- Bal
lard Amusement company of Spring
field and Joplin The new circuit
viii in all probability comprise the
cities of Fayetteville and Fort Smith,
Ark; Tulsa, Muskogee, Bartlesville,
and Guthrie, Okla; Joplin, Webb
City. and Carthage, Mo-; and will,
when completed be one of the largest
circuits playing summer stock in the
middle west.
Instead of being necessary to send
one company over the same route
and to the same towns twice, the
enlargement of the circuit will make
it so that by the time the company
which began at one house has fin
ished the circuit the season will
end Thus 1t will be possible for a
greater number Of shows and much
larger number of players to be seen
over the same circuit.
At present the Bell-Olendorf-Bal-
lard circuit is one of the most widely
known and most popular circuits in
the country and many talented per-
formers have been seen on the
boards of the theaters which mark
their domain. Each year the appeal
and stronger with the players OF
ability in the large eastern cities,
and the airdome circuits of the west
and middle west have proved an eX-
ccllent means for these performances
to indulge their necessity of securing
a change Of climate apd the ad-
vantage of a life in the open, and
at the same time offers a comfort
able living whilc the recuperation is
in progress.
In this way many of the players
who would never otherwise have
been seen in this part of the coun-
try i'm summer have found here new
fields for their efforts and their
clever work has done much toward
the elevation of therepertoire show
in this section.
"Airdomes' have proved a sue
cess in the eyes of the public to the
oxtent that it has been deemed ad-
visable by Bell Olendorf Ballard to
extend the field OF their operations
until they will be able to not only Of
Ger tho public much greater num-
ber OF companies and shows, but can
also give the players time" on one
Of the largest and most popular cir.
cults In the country.

the bluffs rise Ike translucent crags
Of violet and from the city beneath

glnes and factories ascend, accompa-
MED by a confused and inarticulate
murmur, like the whispers Of protest
and pain. During the night II rained,
and the grass OF the lawn Is green.

transitory gems OF the frost Here
and there are disappearing ridges Of
snow from the storm Of Monday and
