To REPORT ON
JAIL BUILDING
NEXT TUESDAY
ARCHITECT BENZ WILL CHECK
UP WORK BEFORE THIS TIME
AND WILL BE READY FOR
SPECIAL MEETING OF THE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AT
THAT TIME.

II think I know my business.
Either Hopkinson does the checking
or I do it, declared Architect Benz
at the meeting of the board of county
commissioners yesterday morning,
referring to the matter of checking
up the work on the new county jail
building, preparatory to an inspec-
ton for acceptance by the board of
county commissioners, the statement
following the expressed intention of
the board Of commissioners to employ
George NJ. Hopkinson, of New York,
to inspect the work as a representa-
tive Of the board of county commits
sioners.
The meeting yesterday morning
was a special one held for the pur-
pose of discussing the Jail matter,
the members of the board having
visited the building on Tuesday after
noon. However, they made no off,
cial inspection and no report of the
visit was made. However, it is I'M
derstood that the portion of the roof
ing on the side of the building to-
ward Zarragossa st rect will not be
accepted, but that the board will re-
quire the contractor to remove this
roofing and substitute another kind.
Benz to Report Tuesday.
After hearing the remarks of
Architect Benz, motion introduced
by Commissioner Mcclellan was
adopted to the effect that the archi-

est possible moment to the board, it
being understood that Architect Benz
is not to be interfered with by any
architect or any other man, in check
ing up the building until the work is
fully completed by him.
Architect Benz informed the beard

which time a special meeting has
been called for the purpose of hearing

THE CRY. OF THE NEGLECTED.

Night after night he has uttered his
Night after night as the people pass
by;
Day after day, night after night.
Yet nobody thinks Of his pitiful
plight.
Nobody knows, nobody cares,
Each SO intent on his pleasure or
gain,
Nobody notes all the pathos and
pain;
Nobody knows, nobody cares,
Nobody asks how the poor creature
fares.
Breaking the stiffness at hour I'M
meet,
Far across town goes the clatter of
feet
Turning the corner, pounding the
street,
Till sentinel dog like a watch on his
beat
Rouses and listens, listens and fears
This is some reckless intruder he
So he speaks stoutly. asks by his
bark,
Who is this ventures approach in
the dark?''
Quieting down when the passer is
Resting content till the coming of
dawn.
Lucky dog! He has shelter, has
food. has bed,
A kindly voice calls him, a hand
strokes his head,
His wants are attended till wants
are at end,
His comfort considered; his masters
his friend.
Hear what q different story is told
OF harshnes, neglect. OF hunger and
cold,
By these poignant complaints, dumb
pleadings, that keep
His heart in a conflict, his eyelids
from sleep.
Has he merciless kicks, unmerited
blows?
Nobody cares. nobody knows.
What is his crime? What must he
atone?
Has he asked to be warm, has he
begged for a bone?
Go on as Of old, priest, Leyite, pass
by,
Oh, Good Samaritan. answer his
cry!

When to PIow.

Editor Chieftain: For three months
last past we have urged Craig county
farmers to break their grounds for all
spring crops before winter weather
set in. We urged that they break all
grounds deeper than they had ever
been broken before. Those who have
done so will more than likely gain sew
eral bushels more per acre than tnose
who have vet to do their annual plow
ing.
Now the advice. is different. To
plow ground deeper in the spring Of
the year than 1t has previously been
broken, will decrease the average crop
below normal.
1t makes no difference why a far.
mer has failed to have his ground
plowed BY this date. He will pay a
penalty for the failure just as certainly
as he would be burnt if he placed his
hand in the fire. Renting farm lands
one year at time is the cause Of
more slip-shod methods of farming.
More loss to both owner and tenant
than any other one cause in existence.
There is no way that the system can
be improved The only sensible thing
that can be done is to abolish it. When
an owner offers to rent his farm for
year he is either back number. or
he has unforeseen designs for its dis
posal When a man asks to rent a
farm for a year he virtually admits
that its only a make-shift that he is
after. The whole system breeds idle
ness, slouchy methods, poverty and
community disturbances.
The thing to do is to rent for term
of years--not less than five years; for

selves to perform his part Of the con-
tract and should either then fail the
courts would compel the delinquent
TO come across. And renter with
money enough to be entrusted with

get ahead enough in five years TO be
able to buy a small home of his own.
There has got to be revolution of
farm methods in this country or ii
win be left behind in the rush of civil
ization. Corn, grass and stock farm
ing has proven a failure with most
men in Oklahoma. If fewer acres
were put to corn, those acres cultivaT-
ed by up.to-date methods, kaffir corn
and milo-maize were planted as an in-
surance crop, small fruits and berries

Artificial Sponge Made in Germany.

Artificial Sponge Made In Germany.
An artificial sponge, the outcome of
German ingenuity. is now being manu-
factured. The process of making 1t
consists principally in the action of
zinc chloride on pure cellulose. This
results in pasty. viscous mass, which
is mixed with coarsely grained rock
salt Placed in a press mold armed
with pins. the mass is pierced through
and through until 1t appears travers-
ed by a multitude Of tiny canals like
the pores OF natural sponge The
excess of salts is subsequently re-
moved by prolonged washing in a
weak alcoholic solution The artif.
cial sponge swells up with water. but
hardens on drying, just like its proto
type. It is said to be eminently
adapted for filtering water for sani-
tary or industrial uses. and It can be
employed for all the purposes that are
usually assigned to the genuine arti-
Gle.

@Mutt and Jen.v

Somewhat of a revelation to the
theatregoers of this city is the an
nouncement of Manager Dan Myers Of
the Grand Theatre, of the engagement
of Mutt and Jeff" at his popular play
house Friday evening. This play is a
dramatization of the famous cartoons
of Bud Fisher OF the same name that
have been provoking laughter all over
the country for several months past.
Mutt and JEFF" it is said. is little
bit on the order of Little Johnny
JONES'" but on a more gorgeous scale
and presented with larger and better
company of players. The play was
constructed for laughing purposes only
and it is promised that from the rise
of the curtain to its final fall those who
witness a performance will be kept in
a constant uproar.
The central characters. "Mut and
Jeff,' are race track habituants and at
the close of the Saratoga racing sea-
son they find themselves penniless.
They learn of an immensely rich es-
tate, for which there are no claim
ants. They also learn that unless
claimants appear, the estate would
probably very soon be confiscated by
the government They, therefore, de-
termine to impersonate the heirs and
claim the property, first seeking jobs
as walters on the S. s. "Insurgent" and
work their way to the new field of
labor. The development of the plot
of the play and the thrilling incidents
and laugh provoking situations forms
one of the best and most novel plays
ever penned. Frank Tannehill. Jr.,
staged the piece and the scenic pro-
duction, which is a large one, was
built by the Vail Studios of New York,
Frank Hayden, also of New York,
furnished the costumes, the original
designs being by A. Eidel. of Paris.
Mutt and Jeff" will be presented
by a company of more than fly peo-
pie, not including the large number Of
supernumeraries of the chorus of
pretty girls that will be with the pro
duction. Mr.. Hill toured the country
in an endeavor to select players es-
pecially fitted for the various roles
and is said to have succeeded wonder
fully. The characters of Mutt and
Jef," it is promised. will be as real
as they have appeared on the funny
pages of the papers throughout the
country
