Citizens Of Creek Nation Want to

Title to Old National Council

Okmulgee. Okla.-Citizens Of the
Creek nation are hopeful that the
state of Oklahoma will accept title to
the old Creek national council house
at this place, that 1t may be preserved
as historic building and used as a
museum for the keeping Of relics typ
ical of the Creek Indians.

Creeks would receive perhaps less

gladly forego If given assurance that
the building would be kept perma-
nently by the state. This was the
capitol of the Creek nation. as Ok
mulgee was its capital, before the
tribal government was dissolved.
The building was erected in 1878, Of
native sandstone, when the nearest
railroad station was Muskogee. 40
miles distant, from which much of the
building material was hauled by wag-
on. Its cost was about $4,000.
In this building assembled the Creek

shooting.

sows, such as are sometimes kept by

PASTOR SEES A GHOST

Later on in his address Rev. Mr..
Eaton announced that the ghosts he
had seen were in his minds eye, that
they were ''subjectively" but not "ob-
jectively" real.
I'VE can generally trust our five
Senses" declared the pastor, follow
ing his astounding Introduction, but
not always. There are moments when
we cannot ten whether what we Cxpe-
rience has its origin within the soul
or whether it comes to the soul
through the senses from without The
apostle Paul could not always tell
concerning himself. He said that he
was once caught up to paradise, to
the third heaven, and he couldn't tell
whether he was in the body or out Of
the body.
Ghosts are in the minds eye. They
are subjectively real, but effectively
they are not real at all. But whether
real or not they exert a mighty influ-
ence over the minds of some people.
The study Of ghosts is study Of
the science Of mind. 1t is pursued in
our day under the terms of psychol-
ogy, mental phenomena, subconscious-
ness, automatic expression, psyche
therapy and other similar terms.
There is vast amount Of thinking
and Of real investigation in recent
years upon the mysterious thing we
call the soul.
The growth Of language is sign
of mental activity. The many and
differing terms used in describing
mental processes show the activity OF
thought.
Suppose some one who had been
dead for 100 years should suddenly
come to earth and with only the
knowledge Of terms that were familiar
to him when he was formerly on the
earth and some one would try 70 tall
to him in the terms familiar with us
today-X-ray, ether. an airline road
phone. wire. cable. wireless, liquid air
trolley, biplane. monorail-what con
fusion would result.

The hog house floor is an unsettled
question. A good floor is the ground
with woven wire stretched on top to
prevent the ;logs from roofing. Elec-
trically welded corncrib wire is very
satisfactory. This makes floor which
is easy on the hogs, almost free from
rats, and. if properly bedded, warm
and dry. it is, however. more difficult
to keep free from dust than some
other floors. Many concrete floors are
used but they are cold, liable to be
wet. and are hard on the hogs feet.
Often almost an entire pig crop and
many sows are lost by taking cold on
concrete floors. Concrete floors are
however, very satisfactory when COW
cred with plank overlays, or false
floors. which should be raised from
the concrete about an inch by mailing
cleats on the under side. The wood
portion OF this floor CONSISTS Of 2 by
inch timbers laid about one-fourth
inch apart to allcw drainage
Board floors are expensive, short
lived, cold if up off the ground, and
make the worst kind of rat harbors.
The writer once visited an old hog
house with wood floor In which the
owner said the rats had gotten over
half the pigs. Several men report
that rats may be kept out by packing
sand or cinders to the top of the joists
before laying the floor. but these
materials are often too expensive to
be used for this purpose.
In making the inside partitions, care
should always be taken to have them
perfectly tight at the floor and for
about 10 to 12 inches above, so that
young pigs cannot crawl through, and
so sows in the adjoining pens cannot
get hold Of them and pull them
through. A SOW will often pull a newly
born pig through under a partition
and eat 1t. when. II the pig was In
the pen with her, 1t would be perfectly
safe. Above the first 10 or 12 inches
1t is better to have the partitions open
enough so the hogs can see out, other

up on the partitions to see what il

Pig rails or guard rails should be
placed on the inside of the pen. from
to 10 inches from the floor. accord
