During the past year a number Of
newspapers in the United States have
celebrated their centennial annivers-
airy. 1t will be some time before an
event Of that kind can take place in
Oklahoma, but this state has a number
Of newspapers which have been long
lived, as compared to the age OF the
territory and whice date back before
Oklahoma became a state.

lished. This is the Indian journal of
Eufaula. IL is in a class by itself So
Tar as age is concerned, having been
published for thrty-six years.
That space OF time is more than a
third of century aud those thirty.
six years have seen history made in
this state, the like of which never hap
pened before. The Indian Journal was
being published at the time OF the Cen
tennial at Philadelphia; Colorado had
just been admitted to statehood, and
Grant was just finishing his term as
president. When that newspaper was
started, more than one half OF the resi
dents of Oklahoma had not been born
A million Oklahoma people born
since that paper was started Looks
like II had some age after all. Estab-
lished in the uncharted wilderness of
the land OF Five Tribes, the Journal
still issues a thrifty, live and progress
sive paper.
On the other side of the state, in the
empire formerly known as No Mans
Land, the next Oldest Oklahoma news
paper is being published. This Is the
Herald, issued at Beaver, in Beaver
county. 1t was established quarter
OF century ago. when that northwest
region was the home of countless herds 3
OF cattle and not much else except a
few cowboys. The Herald has lived
through all the vicissitudes of pioneer
days and continues tn exploit the ad-
vantages OF Beaver county that is now
coming to be known as one of the great
producing counties OF Oklahoma.
Along about the time that the Bea-
yer Herald was established, two other
papers came into being; these were
the Enterprise of Pauls Valley AMI the
Arrow of Tahlequah, both still being
among the leading publications of their
respectiye communities
These papers were being printed and
read IN this part OF the world before
Oklahoma was opened to white settle
ment.-0klahoman.

Demand the Oklahoma Kind.

Products made in Oklahoma are the
equal Of those made in other states.
Buy the Oklahoma brand and keep the
money at home.
Does California, the rich state send
TO other states for fruit and such
things? Not much. The people of that
state buy the products which are man
ufactured at home. That is what has
built California and made it among the
richest OF the states,
Oklahoma has the same field of de.
velopment open and can create wealth
for the upbuilding Of Oklahoma, while
at the same time manufactured pro-
ducts can be shipped to other commun-
tiles to bring more wealth into our own
state.
But IL we send money away we can't
build up factories. Next year wiz be
the greatest in the history OF this state
and 1912 should show a substantial gain
In the output OF every factory within
our borders. As the factories grow, so
will grow kindred industries. As
smokestacks become more numerous
so will the payrolls be more numerous
and larger. Demand the Oklahoma

SAYS WOMEN HAVE 4 GOOD
 SENSE OF HUMOR.

Tn an article on women writers as humOrists in the May Woman's Home Companion. Jeanette L. Glider says:
 Some foolish person has said, at some time or other, that women have no sense of humor Of course it was a man who said this, for men don't know women, though they think they do. Women know women better, and they know that the sense of humOr is very keenly developed in their own sex. Ii it were not for this say ing sense, women could not stand a great many of the burdens that are put on their shoulders. I have in my mind a woman whose life was one tragedy after another but whose sense of humor saved her from des- pair. She would probably have gone mad if she had not been able to see the humorous side of situations that in themselves were anything but hu morous. So widespread has this idea become-that women lack the sense of humor-that a great many people have come to regard il as q truth, but I can soon prove. as far as WO- men writers are concerned at least that some of the most humorous books published today are written by women"

ADJUSTMENTS
THE EMPRESS

Two of the largest audiences in the history of the Empress gathered to witness "Salome'' and the other dances put on by Mile. Athmore Grey, a story of which appears elsewhere. The eccentric singing and dancing act done by Carl Graff and Dorothy Gray have continued to improve with each performance, Miss Gray has beautiful voice and in the "Bogie Man" she is very clever and her dancing is both graceful and spirited Mir Graf has a future ahead of him as a musical composer and doubtless his name will one day help to make his home town of Phoenix famous The Lur JiO'S put on q black face act last evening that was a decided improvement over the one they have been doing. The little lady of the combination is sweet and pretty and the gentleman does some very difficult dancing steps and his coon work IS good. The scenarios for some of the hpoto plays were most attractive and gave the moving pictures more than usual interest. The same bill will be repeated tonight and "Salome" will again delight the audience.

DRESS NEEDS OF OLDER
 WOMEN.

In an article on Dress Needs of Older Women" in the May Woman's Home Companion. the author shows how a supple woman has to live q long time before she really looks old. F'lexibility is an unmistakable sign of youth. This is why older women are foolish to dress in materials that make them look rigid. The author goes on to say:
 Let us first consider a mans bus mess clothes, and learn what are the latest in fashion. Fortunately. there is variation in style. so that ones individual taste may be carried out. but in every instance sOftness and naturalness prevail. For instance the coats will be made up soft, without padding in the shoulders or sheet iron more familiarly known as can vas, in the fronts. Curves are fash ionable in most clothes. Few angular
