A cheaper administration of local

much desired in Vinita There is a

The editor of the Howard, Kans.,
Courant says: Il know a boy who
gets $40 week and boards at home.
His sister also works, and gets $5 a

for his board and is always broke. The
girl pays her mother 50 week for her

If those who have been praying for

The state capitol building commit
tee, composed of Oklahoma City citi.
zens, who signed the contract to hsGe
million dollars with which to feect
a free state capitol on fifteen acres of
ground, also free, are up against a
hard proposition. They are beginning
to realize that now and are looking
for a way out Oklahoma City has
the state capitol now and would like
to forget about the promises made
sometime ago. The latest scheme is
for Oklahoma City to vote a million
dollars worth of bonds, and then take
as security for these bonds the six
acres of land donated by these
members of the state capitol building
committee; but there is a grave doubt
as to whether or not such bond issue
would be legal, and there is also the
further doubt as to whether or not
Oklahoma City would vote a million
dollars in bonds for this proposition
even if the issue should be declared
agitated over the situation, and would
like to have some one help them to
turn the bear loose" AS the first

It's now up to Oklahoma City to
make good its capital building bluff.
We predict that it will not be six
months before Oklahoma City will be
pleading for an extra session to pro-
vide real money with which TO erect
the capital. It's well known fact, no
longer even mildly controverted, that
the lands which the capital committee
has put up will not sell readily, indeed
much of this land because of defec-
tive title will probably never be de-
livered to the capital committee.
Even before the last session closed
there was mild talk of an appropria-
tion of million dollars to build the
capital. Oklahoma City buffers even
went so far as to get member from
the extreme southwestern part of the
state to introduce such bill. Okla
homa City has failed miserably in
every promise she made to the people
in her campaign to land the state cap
ital and its only a question now of
how long she will keep up the bluff
before she enters actively into a cam
paign to tax the people of the state
to build the capital she pledged to
give to the state. At present this ag-
gregation of hot air artists are worry
ing more about how to get water to
drink than about buying lots to help
build the capital -Times-Democrat

of criminal employee. 1t is now said
the shortage in the auditors Office
may reach $4,000, and that it was ac-

This seems absurd-that a system

Iployee to check out the states money
at will
In the days of tribal government
there were two places in the Chero-
KEGS system that were considered un-
usually juicy. These were auditor and
district clerk. There was only one
auditor. but there were district clerks
for each district, of which there were
several. The district clerk issued the
warrants for court and other expenses.
In other words he was the disburser
of all government funds in his district.
1t is related of one clerk that he had
a pocket seal made that he could
carry in his saddle pockets, and a war
rant book that would fit his coat poe.
ket. Whenever he needed money he
made out warrant. 1t is said that it
was not an infrequent thing for him
to meet bootlegger (they had EN- in

MEDICAL MEN IN BIG SUPPLY
America Is Credited with Almost
Twice the Number That Sup
plies European Wants.

One of the medical journals recent
iy announced that the number Of
physicians was decreasing. 1t ad-
mitted that there was no immediate
prospect of a noticeable dearth Of
doctors, but it suggested. to put it
plainly, that there was danger of
young men being scared off the med
lcal field "by the constantly increas-
ing requirements for admission to the
medical schools"
Now comes another lot Of statistics
which shows that the doctors in the
United States numbered $4,000 in
$40, versus 1920 by the United
tates census of 1900, giving. with the
increased population, an increased
~.lientele a doctor from 572 to 594. In
europe, says the Post Graduate, ex-
)erience has shown that one physician
an care for 1000 of the general popu-
alton, and it is estimated that, ever

iminish their ranks, it will be past
949 before a proportion is reached
'hich is there deemed normal. We

Reasons Why The Great rlajestic
You Should Buy.

1st 1t has the reputation of being the best range money can buy.
I'd. 1t not only has the reputation but is the best range made, and we
will prove this to you if you will let US.
Sd. 1t is constructed Of maleabe iron, material you cant beat, and of
Charcoal iron. material that resists rust 300 per cent greater than steel,
is rvted together air tight No heat escapes or cold air enters the
range, thus uses very little fuel to do perfect work.
4h. The reservoir alone is worth the price Of range over any other
reservoir made. II bohs Is gallons Of water; is heated like a tea kettle,
with pocket against left hand lining, and is movable and sets on a
frame, hence cannot wear out. When water gets too hot it can be
moved away from fire.
Majestic ranges use less fuel; heat more water-and heat it hotter;
costs practically nothing tor repairs; lasts three times as long; bakes
better; easier to keep clean and gives better satisfaction than any other
range on the market If you know positively that the above statements
are true, wouldn't you buy a Majestic at once?
Come in Demonstration Week and Well Prove 1t to You.

HINTS ON HOW TO USE HAM
Dainty Ways of cerving Meat That
Will Appeal to faded
Appettes.

Sliced ham Is more tender II 1t Is
baked than II fried. Cut slice three
quarters of an inch thick, put 1t into
a small enamel can, turn three-quar'
tiers of a cupful Of milk over it, cover
and bake for an hour and a quarter,
basting every Is minutes with milk.
For luncheon grind the ends OF a
boiled ham and mix 1t with button
onion that has been chopped fine and
a little minced parsley. Put the mix
ture into a pan with little butter and
moisten with hot water or cream.
Simmer four or FIVE minutes and then
heap on slices of toast.
For curly bacon cut 1t very thin
and half cook It in boiling water, then
curl 1t, fasten in shape with a tooth
pick and broil 1t over the fire.
A little grated American cheese mix
ed with minced ham used In sand
wiches is delicious II the sandwich is
friend brown and served very hot.
Cold ham is tasty If 1t is shredded
and cooked in currant jelly sauce. Pu:
a cupful of the shredded ham into q
saucepan with a level tablespoonful Of
butter and half a cupful of currant
jelly. AS soon as the jelly and butter
begin to bubble add four tablespoon
fuls OF sherry and a seasoning Of pap
rika. Simmer the mixture about five
or six minutes and serve with toast.
