COMMISSIONER Of
HIGHWAYS TALKS
EXPRESSES FORCEFUL VIEWS UP.
ON THE ROADS OF OKLAHOMA.
ORGANIZE AND COOPERATE.

Col. Sidney Suggs, commissioner OF
highways for the state OF Oklahoma,
who paid a hurried visit to Ardmorr
and old friends the early part of the
week, said that the people all over
the state were enthusiastic over the
steps being taken to improve the pub
lie roads.
He says that every town, hamlet
and farming community have awaken
ed 10 realization of the benefit to
be derived from system of good
roads
They advocate, Col Suggs said, the
laying out of important roads regard
less of section lines. They would first
seek a location for them where the
road could be put on a permanent
foundation. a location looking TO the
proper drainage. Then they would pro
ceed to grade the road throwing up a
permanent road bed which should. in
lieu of macadam be surfaced with clay
and sand-these materials being found
ed in abundance in every township in
oklahoma
BY doing this, the colonel observed
roads equal to those in any of the old
er states can be had at minimum cost
But, he continued. this work can not
be done in "A haphaZard manner II
must be systematiZed. A competent
engineer should first he employed
whose duty it shall be to locate
and lay out the road TO be built and
to furnish plans and specifications
for the construction work, including
such bridges. culverts, etc, as may
be necessary The department of high
ways TO furnish all tools and equip
ment needed.
Ii appears that every township in
the state has been requested by Com
missioner Sug2s, TO furnish his depart
ment with an accurate report of the
condition of the roads in said town
ship and important data has been ga
thered from all over the state.
Instead of being a tax on the peo-
pie" Col Suggs concluded, "the judi
cious handling of the. money now
being paid in by townships and by poll
tax, will prove not only an investment
but will save the taxpayers of OklahO-
ma s1,0OO000 per year. In other
words $1,O0O,0OO which is now being
thrown away by incompetent road
overseers, will be used economically,
Systematically and by men fitted by
experience and training to produce re-
suits in this line Of work One might
just as well and as successfully teach
out the school tax as to work out

sented are the kind that hold the
close attention of the audience
from start to finish. Special
singing is introduced between
the acts, and excellent entertain
ment is assured. The crowds
which daily visit this theater to
see the photo plays are proof Of
their popularity.

HAVE T. BANK ACCOUNT.
1t Is a Potent Force in Leading a
Man to a Better Position in Life
and He Will Never Regret 1t.

The popular idea that banks are Gre
ated for, and useful only to, the rich
is fallacy that is fading away with
other foolish isms that have been
preached during the past few years
Every man in business knows the ne
cessity for, and the convenience of a
bank account All business is done
on credit, and a bank is founded to
furnish such credit, and by its opera
tons one dollar does the work Of ten,
and provides the oil to lubricate the
wheels of commerce The rich and
the poor alike are extended credit in
the ratio Of their responsibility, and
the stockholders of the bank become
the ones who assume the risk. The
man in business for himself under
stands the methods and needs of
banks, so | address my remarks to
him who is not The wage Garner
would do well TO have a bank ac-
count. Instead OF carrying his sur
plus in his pocket, or storing it in
his room, he would be less likely to
lose it, and still less likely to spend
it, if he deposited his earnings in a
bank and paid his current bills by
check

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. - The
Western Michigan Development Blu
|reau has located market in England
Tor 100 carloads of choice apples. In
the past the English trade has been
Supplied from the Pacific slope OF the
United States, but the British import
|ers having heard OF the superior quail
|ity OF the Western Michigan apple,
have desided to give it trial TO the
extent Of from one TO two hundred
carloads.
Secretary Gibson, of the Bureau,
says that If Western Michigan can
enter this field at the present june
ture with brand honestly packed,
carefully graded and of good quality,
we can capture the market. Let me
|emphasize right here that unless this
can be done, it were infinitely better
| for us never TO make a shipment OF
apples 10 the British Isles.
Except in the case of very fancy
apples it will not be best for our
growers to pack in boxes for this
market As a matter of fact the buy
ers in Great Britain favor the bar
rel.
There is not much demand there
for anything but a red apple. Green
ings sell fairly well, but in only one
- 4
place, Burnley, in Yorkshire, did find
demand at all for Grimes Gold
en-. Spies are a prime favorite in
Manchester; Baldwins, Mcintosh Red,
Wagner, King and Jonathans find a
ready sale.

STATE NEWS
Do Carloads of Western Michigan
y Apples Will Be Sold in England
Trade Mark and Packing Will be Established That
ported Apples al Be

THE British buyer sets great store
on particular brands. 1t should be
our aim to establish single brand
for the whole of Western Michigan,
that in a few years would sell itself
and command the highest market
price. To this end not only should
the grade and quality be right, but
the barrels must be tightly packed
with cushions on the ends, SO that
there will be no shaking of the APP
pies whatever. We should have an
attractive label printed containing the
Bureaus guarantee TO go either in
side the head Of the barrel or to be
pasted on the outside of the head.
The apples will require to be sep
arated into three grades, viz, l, 2 and
3. or x, Xxx and xxx.
Should we go into the export
trade, it will be necessary eventually
to have apple cold storage accommo-
dations at some centrally located
point. We can make our initial ship
ment without cold storage, by using
refrigerator cars TO the seaboard."
President Day is anxious to get an
export trade started for our apples,
particularly the fancy grades, and he
is urging every fruit grower in the
Western Michigan region to take the
utmost pains with his maturing APP
pie crop that they may supply the
maximum Of the order, namely, 200
cars, If the business proves profit
able one.

BUSY TIMES ON AN
OCEAN LINER.,IN PORT
Cleaning Up the Vessel After Trip
Across the Sea Is a Bigger Job
Than Most of Us Imagine.

When the ocean liner has locked
and it's passengers have all passed
down the gangplank, the work Of the
officers and crew is not, as might nat
urally be supposed, at an end for that
trip, nor have they any considerable
period of idleness in which to amuse
themselves until the vessel is again
ready TO sail On the contrary, there
remains much work TO be done. In
deed, it is then that the real drudgery
OF the ships people begins, for be-
tween the docking and the departure
the big craft must be thoroughly over
hauled and cleaned from stem to
stern, inside and out. Moreover this
task must, generally speaking, be ac-
complished within the limited period
OF thirty six hours.
First Of all the hull Of the vessel
must be entirely reprinted; the fun
nels scraped and frightened with a
fresh coat Of color; every bit of the
machinery inspected and frightened
up, and even the masts and rigging
looked after.

THE CONVENTION
AT CHICAGO
The Gains of this Political Year and
What the Progressive Movement
Means, After All.

Candidates will come and go, and
parties will rise and fall with the
decades or the centuries, but the po-
litical life of the people must go on,
and their government must live and
serve the ends of common justice and
the general welfare. Whatever may
have been the exact outcome of the
Chicago and Baltimore conventions,
there will be permanent gain to the
people of the United States by rea-
son of the struggles of 1912.
The people will no longer be con-
tent merely to choose in November
between two candidates, one called
Republican and the other called Dem
ocratic-selected for them by hidden
forces having interests Of their own to
be served. The people will insist up
on having a part in the earlier selec-
ton of the candidates, as well as in
the later and final election of the
President himself.
To understand the situation which
we have thus endeavored TO explain is
10 appreciate the spirit in which the
factions gathered at Chicago early in
June, when the National Committee
began to deal with the so-caled
contests" More than 200 of the seats
claimed by Taft delegates were con-
tested by rival claimants who were
supporting Roosevelt. The greater
part OF these were from the Southern
States. In those cases the Roosevelt
claimants appeared for purposes OF
protest rather than of real contest. 1t
was easy to show that the Taft del
egates had been secured by means
wholly disreputable and unworthy.
But it was not easy TO show that the
Roosevelt contestants represented any
regular processes of choosing dele
gates That the Roosevelt contestants
came nearer representing such opin-
ion as could be found in the BLACK
Belt" was undoubtedly true. If the
National Committee had been capable
of acting with large and substantial
views of justice, it could not indeed
have seated most of these Southern
Roosevelt contestants; but neither
could it have seated the Taft dele
cations who were clearly chosen by
methods saturated and malodorous
with impropriety The whole coun-
try, regardless OF party, was looking
on; and it would have applauded a
National Committee capable OF rising
TO the level of obvious wisdom and
! justice, il both sets OF delegates from
these manipulated rotten boroughs
had been thrown out In England,
| Canada, or Australia-where Anglo
Saxon fair play is found in politics
as well as in sport-the seating these
Taft delegations would have been i'm
possible. What does the progressive
movement mean, after all? 1t means
that the people are tired of indecency
in their politics, and want honor and
justice throughout the realm of politi-
cal and governmental life. We are
running politics and government in
America on an ethical plane far below
that OF the stock exchange or the gro
Gerry store, the business corporation or
ordinary retail trade-American Re-
view of Reviews for July.

LOST AND FOUND
IN LARGE HOTEL
Women, Oftenest Losers, Are Gener-
ally First to Cry Thief to the
Patient Manager.

An excited woman rushed up TO the
main desk of one of the leading no
tells, planted her feet hard and blush
ed. II want TO make a complaint
about lost article" she said.
Eyes, madam, what is it?" inquired
the clerk in patient tones.
The woman hesitated and then
gasped out: why corsets. | bought
them at a department store and had
them sent here The store records
show they were delivered, but | can
not find them"
Then all the machinery of the hotel
was started to find the missing cor
sets, for the hotel records did show
that they had been delivered Nobody
seemed 10 have them and the hotel
detectives could not find a clew.
A week later on the night before
the woman was leaving the city the
manager was called on the telephone.
This is Mrs. So-and-So," said a
somewhat flustered voice. 81 have

Fortunately the manager was a
thoroughbred gentleman; if he hadn't
been the air might have been lurid in
color, especially when the owner Of
the corsets added: But it gave your
house detectives something 10 do,
anyhow"
This is merely one example related
by some of the managers OF the large
hotels.
OF course there are any number OF
instances where valuables are actually
lost and later returned by one OF the
employees In such cases the hotel
officials say the women are very ex-
acting and the rewards made are as
tonishingly small. This is more so
in the case of women than men
Curious as it may sound, woman's
temperament seems to be such that as
soon as she u unable TO find some
valuable her mind runs to robbery.
Any stranger who has been near her
! is likely TO be accused without further
consideration.
For example: A woman, evidently
much excited, walked up to the hotel
desk and begged the clerk to get the
police or the hotel detectives or some
body to find very valuable mutt

and handed out a muff. Us that your

inquired.

linen, however is ever washed aboard.
1t is placed in sacks containing each
from 200 to $50 pieces and sent in
wagons to the laundry. Upon its re-
turn to the ship there again occurs the
tedious task OF counting, sorting, etc.
Counting the Silverware.
A good deal Of attention must also
be given TO the silyerware. These
may number some fifteen thousand
pieces. Glassware on liner seldom
numbers less than $4,000 to 10000,
while the number of dishes, plates,
cups, etc, often reaches 10000.
Now every piece OF this glass and
china must be washed and polished
during the housekeeping of the ship,
although they have been kept scru-
pulously bright during the entire voy-
age. Each department is under the
charge of special employe-one for
the silverware, one for the linen, one
for the china, etc.-and each Of these
men is in turn answerabe to the head
steward, to whom is brought report
Of the total number OF pieces on

In the steerage the cleaning is con-
Quoted along somewhat different lines
Everything that might be damaged by
water is taken out OF the steerage
quarters and the hose is brought into
play Then the whole steerage is
scrubbed down.
