F. J. King Spends Several Pleasant
Weeks with Relatives.

F. j. King, of the firm of Gillian
& King, has returned from a visit
of several weeks duration to his
brother, W. r. King, Of San Angelo,
Texas. Mr.. King says that things do
not look so we'll in Texas as they do
in this section of Oklahoma. There
has been some rain in the portion
of Texas which he visited, but not
nearly enough, and crops, he says,
look a great deal better here than
they do down there.
Other places may be as good as
Oklahoma, according to Mr.. King, but
he says that he has failed to find
any of them. Business, the gentleman
says. is much better and of greater
volume here than further south. TAX

decision to make the two new battle
ships, the Oklahoma and the Nevada
exclusively oil burning ships, together
with the probability that battleships
designed from now on, will be oil
burners, has practically determined
the house committee on naval affairs
to provide now for the construction
of two fuel ships To carry oil for the
new vessels.
1t is almost certain that the naval
appropriation bill when reported
from the house will contain authori-
ty for the two fuel ships.
Great interest centers in the de-
sign of this new type OF vessel. Rec
ognition of the advantages of oil as
fuel has been so general in the ma
val service that the most practical
means of having oil fuel ready for
use is already under serious discus
sion.
Heretofore ships carrying fuel for
the navy have been colliers, some of
which are filled with temporary ar
rangements for oil storage. The new
type of fuel ships" as they are to be
called in the United States navy, not
oilers as IN the British navy, will
require some special design and will
be built exclusively to transport liq-
uid oil.

ARDMoRE's FROG HATchERIEs.
Why Not Abats the Nuisance OF the
STANDING Pools of Staqnant Waterf

1t is to be hoped that the city coun-
ell at their session this afternoon
will devise some means by which the
water standing on the lot immediate
ly west of the Ardmoreite office and
back of the old church building OF
Broadway and also on the site of the
proposed federal building upon Wash
ington street can be gotten rid of.
1t seems that at very small cost
the city could abate this nuisance,
for such it is. Hot weather is upon
us now and this stagnant water will
soon breed millions of mosquitoes and
typhoid fever as well.
In addition to this while the music
of some ten thousand, eight hund
red and seventy-nine frogs may be
very soothing to nerves worn thread
bare by a hard days work and the
auto.like honk OF the bull-frog may
suggest broiled frog legs with the
accompanying cold bottles, yet they
are. at best, very poor advertisement
for the hustle and progressive
of which this city boasts.
Suppose then, that now that the
work on the high school has actually
begun. that we drop all else and look
after these frog ponds The health
of the community should be above
all else and there can be no doubt
but that the general health is threat
ened by permitting pools of water TO
stand and germinate disease germs
by the tens of millions daily.

Southern Sociological Congress.

Nashville, Tenn, May AT the
call of Governor Hooper all sixteen
of the states of Dixie have sent del
egations to Nashville today to take
part in the first Southern Sociologic-
al Congress. The object of the
meeting is ito study and improve
social, civic and economic condi-
tions IN the SOUTH
Some OF the subjects to be taken
up by eminent sociologists and So
cial workers are the Conservation
of Childhood" THE National Curse
of Propagating Race of 1mbeciles
and Criminals" "The Extent Of H.
literacy in the South" How Pris-

Governor Hooper will emphasize
the great need of prison reform
in nearly all the southern states.
He spent night in a cell in the
Tennessee prison and has talked with
many convicts in order to get their
opinions as to what society owes to
the convicted criminal. The use of
stripes only as punishment is one
of the reforms made by Governor
Hooper. Adequate Fairgrounds for
children, the supervision of picture
shows and the elimination of fire
traps are other reforms that will be
urged at the conference. The gen.
eral board OF managers held a ses-
sion this afternoon to complete the
arrangements, and the first general

The national welfare depends upon
agricultural prosperity; agriculture
itself is daily becoming more ana
more OF a science, and these Two lac-
tors reinforce the pressing do-hahu
for more and better agricultural eau
cation among the rural population
But where are the teacne's OF agrl-
culture coming from lnls question

ist in rural education of The United
States Bureau of Educaron, IN 4 bul-
letin just issued by the bureau lIr

AT present nearly 1000 high
schools are teaching agriculture, the
course being taken by an aggregate
of some $1,000 pupils Mr. Monahan
writes. But in all these schools, on
ly very few besides those giving
four-year course in this subject
have instructors with college or
normal school training in scientific
agriculture, while a large percentage
of the active teachers Mllh tins raln-
ing have had ne tfitinlhg IN lsyChol-
ogy of pedagogy Probably no one
factor has had greater hiluehcc IN
retarding the intrOdlCllOn OF su5stan-
tial courses in agriclll Ire III ell those
high schools whose pupils are drawn
in large numbers lroT farming lis
tricts than the shortage of properly
qualified teachers.
1T will be several years before the
supply of men available as instructors
in agriculture will be sufficient to
meet the demand. Although the sal
aries paid are from 80 to 100 per cent
higher than are those for instructions
in other subjects in secondary
schools, the state colleges of agrlcul-
ture are finding difficulty in persuad-
ing men to qualify specially for teach
ing, because even these salaries are
not equal to those paid the graduates
of these institutions in the agricul-
tural industries.
1T is important, however that pro-
perly trained men be obtained. Agri-
culture as high school science has
not vet been developed into good ped
agogical form and until it is so de-
yeloped higher grade, better train
ed teacher is need for the agricultu-
raj subject than for any other sub
ject in the high school curriculum.

MO college youth ever gained
~ prominence on the diamond
more rapidly than Eppa
Rixey, the sensational young left
handler vino flashed to the front as
d member of the Philadelphia Ma
tionals last season. One year ago
The name OF Eppa Rixey was un-
known to the baseball world To-
day there is hardly a city in the
country where the fans are not ia
miliar with it.
Rixey has the reputation of being
the best pitcher imported from the
college ranks in years, and It took
him less than four months to es-
tablish it. 1t did not require even
that long for him TO demonstrate
his worth as a player, for less than
q month after he donned a big
league uniform Horace Fogel, the
Philadelphia owner, turned down an
offer of $1,000 for him made by
Charley Murphy, OF the Cubs. The
offer was made as a result of Rix-
eys wonderful performance
against Chicago.
RiXey first attracted attention as
q pitcher while a student of the
University of Virginia. In one
game there he struck out q men
in a nine-inning struggle, and soon
had a whole army of scouts trailing
him. When he graduated last
June ne had offers from at least q
half dozen big league clubs
Eppa Gets Big Salary.
All sorts of inducements we're

for a Philadelphia contract calling
for $500 a month, a salary almost
equal to that Of a senator. 1t was
through the good graces Of Bill
Rigler that RiXey was persuaded to
cast mis- lot with the Quakers, and
for the part the National league
umpire played in discovering and
getting him to sign ne received a
handsome bonus.

ginia university squad last spring.

Eppa Rxey, IT,, Makes Good in
Major League First Year Out

Rixey has the distinction Of being
the tallest pitcher in the league.
He stands nearly six feet six In
his stockings and uses every cent?
meter Of his height in his delivery.
Besides having a lot of smoke. he
has good curves, far better control
than the average left -hander and is
an excellent fielder. There is no
question about him having the re-
quirements Of big league star. He
has exceptionally long arms and
these enable him to use tremen-
dous speed.
Beat Best in League.
Out of twenty games he pitched
for the Quakers last season, the
Southerner captured ten, and many
of these from the best twirlers in
the league. With a better team,
his record would have been vastly
improved, for wretched support
cost him a number Of victories,
Doom is convinced that ne has
phenom in the collegian and would
not part with him for the price Of
an O'Toole.
1t was against the wishes Of his
family that Eppa entered a profess
sional baseball career, and for a
time Doom was in danger Of losing
his new found gem, for his rela
tives made strong efforts to dis
suade him from continuing in the
game
It appears that Eppa is a real
