Question of Propogating Game One
of Intense Interest to Oklahoma

fortunate as Oklahoma, wherein the
more desirable wild game has prac-
tically become extinct, the Legislature
is making strenuous effort to again
recuperate the supply. To this end
the various states of the United States
are eXpending millions of dollars an
nually. Oklahoma is possibly one OF
the favored few wherein there still
remains some of the wild game which
hunters love to shoot. 1t would re-
Guire comparatively small amount
of money to save the game of this
state. Where other states must eX-
pend thousands of dollars, Oklahoma
could eXpend hundreds and secure the
same results. This condition cannot
exist long, however, and unless the
money is expended now, five years
from now it will require just ten times
as much money to replace the game
as it will require to preserve them
now.
In his biennial report former State
Game and Fish Warden j. S. Askew
has made plea for a generous ap-
preparation for propagating purposes.
The same plea is made by the game
warden of almost every state in the
union. The legislature and the peo-
pie as whole are awakening to the
fact that if the game and fish of the
nation are to be saved both legisla'
ton and money is required. AS a
consequence the law makers are pro-
viding the money and the people are
demanding of the state game warden
and his deputies, the proper enforce
ment of the game laws.

whose branches reached to the sec

Tickets for the dinner cost $34 each.
Among the souvenirs were cream

boxes, stamped leather cigar cases

who answer the call of the foreman.
Places on the panels are greatly
sought by men Of wealth in this COM
munity because they are relieved of
other jury duty, and only a small
number of them actually serve on
sheriff's juries.
Those who do not attend meetings
Of the panels are fined by those who
do. and the fund thus accumulated is
expended on an annual dinner to the
sheriff. The amount of the fines is
fixed arbitrarily by the panel, and for

members of the second panel this
year are William Rockefeller, John D..
Archbold and others of great wealth.

furnished material for more than one

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
INFORMATION OF IMPORTANCE TO EVERYONE

A great deal of pain and suffering
might be avoided if we had some
knowledge of physiology and the care
o. the body, particularly those parts
that do the most work and should al
ways be kept strong and healthy.
In an interview with a prominent
physician he states that people should
pay more attention to their kidneys
as they control the other organs to
a remarkable degree and do a ter
mendous amount of work in removing
the poisons and waste matter from
the system by altering the blood.
During the winter months especial
ly, when we live an indoor life, the
kidneys should receive some assist
ance when needed, as we take less
exercise, drink less water and often
eat more rich heavy food, thereby
forcing the kidneys to do more work
than Nature intended. Evidence OF
kidney trouble, such as lame back, In
ability to hold urine, smarting or
burning, brick-dust or sediment, sal
low complexion, rheumatism, may be
weak or IRREGULAR heart action, warns
you that your kidneys require help
Immediately to avoid more serious
trouble.
An herbal medicine containing no
minerals or opiates has the most
healing influence An ideal herbal
compound that has had remarkable
success as a kidney remedy is DR.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root

ity has been measured in deeds-not
in words.
The power of his intellect and the
largeness and tenderness of his heart
has been felt in every home where
his decisions as Judge have affected
the future of the family.
His fearlessness in opposing evil
is one of the most valuable moral
assets OF our community. He is a
man who has been largely blessed
in natural ability and has turned his
gifts to altruistic ends. His eloquence
has become proverbial where his
name is known; he can melt to tears
or move to laughter as his mood
wills; his words can sting or soothe
as justice demands, and it is with
pride that his friends point to the
fact that his eloquence has been used
as a means to further justice, rather
than as a foil to delay it.
1t is with such judges as Judge
Russell that Oklahoma feels safe in
asserting that she has the flower OF
the legal profession in her own
courts.

The ladies of the Fortnightly club
deserve commentator and aid in
their efforts to establish system
whereby the city may be beautilied
The ladies have eXerted unusual Ell
fort toward making their plans ef-
fective, and it is probable that de-
cisiye steps will be taken soon by
those who have the necessary author

Coincident with the action of the
Fortnightly club is the move for a
park system, which was a subject
of discussion at Il conference last
week between Mayor Hanraty and
Indian Commissioner Wright, In
Muskogee. According to the mayor,
land which lies north of the city can
be obtained for the desired purpose
with but little difficulty, and it is
proposed by those who lead the
movement to establish park sys-

A beautiful city commands atten-
ton from every stranger who enters
its limits, whether he comes for a
long or short time. The impression
one gets when he steps from a train
oftentimes has much TO do with his
future opinion of the community. II
he approaches the business section
by the way OF dirty streets, ill-kept
store fronts, etc, it is not likely that
he will leave with any great amount
Of good feeling for the city or for
those who have its welfare in charge.
Or the other hand if his gaze falls
upon clean thoroughfares, attractive
display windows and other evidences
of civic pride, he Immediately feels
kindly toward the town, and if oc-
casion arises to speak of the munich
pality in outside circles, he will un-
doubtedly have something good to
remark. Criticism of city by
strangers is harmful in that the
stranger is usually unbiased in the
matter and any impression he voices
are ordinarily those received from
conditions as they really exist. Often
times persons have been deferred
from visiting city by the criticism
of strangers who have nothing
against the community save that it
exhibits no evidence of civic pride.
1t is true that McAlester has never
suffered from the effects of lack
of civic pride. The business men and
residents of the city have just cause
20 be proud of their home, but there
are many conditions which could be
improved. The city has been mention
ed favorably in outside circles, but
further efforts to beautify will not go
amiss. The more endeayors that are
eXerted along these lines, the more
beautiful will the city become, and
that event will add to the many at
fractions which McAlester now pos
sesses.-McAlester Herald Democrat.
