Washington, March 30.-Washing-

Ruth Wynne, daughter of the form

Miss Hinckley was initiated into

Antony Janus. Miss Wynne will
make a fight in the same machine
some day this week and other women

$50 Bully to Soar in the Air"
Women show great courage and
daring in aeroplanes and the promo
ters of the aero club expect that the

she made the flight reached the

PLAN ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN.


The Industrial Association is plan
ming the best advertising campaign
ever adopted by any city in Oklaho-
ma. The plan calls for the printing
OF folders adapted to the different
sections OF the United States. For
instance Texas farmers know what
cotton is. they will want to continue
raising cotton in Oklahoma should
they move here and folders to that
state will tell OF the cotton lands, OF
the superior grade OF cotton grown
here and will also enter into a gen
eral discussion OF corn and forage
crops. Again when the citizens of
Vermont is to be reached a circular
calling especial attention to the cli
mate will be sent him. The rain fall,
the average sunshine, the dearth OF
snow. the winter temperature and
matters OF that kind which win ap-
peal to the man who suffers from ca
tarrh and throat trouble caused from
wading snow six to nine months in
the year will be dwelt upon. Accom-
panying the folders to the different
states will be statements from per
sons living here from that state.

NOTHING NEW TO US,

4 writer in the Kansas City Jour.
nal has concluded that Lee Cruce is
not dominated by former Governor
Haskell. Lee Cruces home friends
came to that conclusion before the
election.
The Journal writer bases his opin.
ion upon the action OF Governor
Cruce in appointing bankers upon the
state banking board when Governor
Haskell had expressed opposition to
1t; in refusing to pay the codlfying
commission when the former COVER
nor had ordered them to do the work
and in declining to parole jointkeep-
ers where they would promise to quit
the business which was a practice OF
the former administration.

EASTER LILY CROP SHORT.
The Annual Bear Story Arrives on
Time-Blight Caused Shortage.

New York. March 30.-There is
to be a famine in Easter lilies this
year The crop, according to whole
sale florists here, is only about
one-third as large as last season.
This applies to the production on
American soil The quality of flow
ers that comes from Bermuda for
the Easter trade is small compared
to the quantity used.
The cause for the decrease in
the crop in this region is said to be
lack of vitality in the plants.
I'VE heard good deal of the
blight that fell upon the Bermuda
lily a few years ago, and it is pre-
cisely the same thing that is at
tacking the plants here declares an
officer OF the Wholesale Florists
Association. Bulbs cannot grow in
the same soil season after season
without fertilization"
Steamship companies declare that
comparatively few Easter lilies will
be imported this year-probably not
more than ten thousand in all. Last
season the total sales by New York
wholesalers reached five million
blossoms.

was one big one OF the leaning tower
of Pisa. One morning shortly after
the advent of a new maid the mis-
tress OF the house noticed that the
picture OF the tower hung crooked.
She Strengthened it and said nothing
OF the matter to the new servant who
had evidently shifted it while busting.
The next day the picture was again
crooked: the same thing happened
the next day. and the next. Finally
one morning. CHANGING to be in the
room where the picture was, the mis-
tress said to the maid as she dust
