EVERYBODY Believes
Spring IS NOW HERE
EVERY CROP GROWING PROS
pEROVSLl-NlSl EN-
JOY THE WEATHER.

With April 23 come and gone, all
danger of damaging cold weather is
past, according to the weather dope
handed out by the oldest inhabitants"
association. 1t is claimed that in the
history of Oklahoma no cold weather
sufficient to damage crops has ever
been experienced after April 30, and
only on one or two occasions as late as
that.
In the greater majority of years. the
latest cold weather Is experienced
close to the first of April, but this year
II Is a little later, as IT Is generally
admitted that everything is three weeks
later this year than usual. Notwith-
standing this il gives promise, during
the first month, for you know on April
21 the first month Of the calendar
spring has elapsed, OF being not only
one Of the most pleasant springs ever
experienced here, but without a doubt
the most profitable from every view
point.
The crop prospects were never bet
ter, If ever equaled at this time OF
the year. The oklahoma "bug-a- boo"
drought has been forgotten. and en-
tirely eliminated in the bounteous
rainfall that has drenchcd the fair
kissed soil Of Oklahoma to the
depth of many inches in the past
month.
Wheat, oats. alfalfa. corn and all
other crops look in the finest condi-
tlon. The cotton area is being reduced
a little this year. but the effect Of the
acreage reduction campaign has been
counteracted by the floods further
south, destroying millions OF acres of
the best cotton land for planting, and
the attendant high prices.
In the city, the signs Of spring are
on every hand. on the streets during
these cool, delightful evenings, young
couples may be seen slowly walking
along the streets. over which
the foliaging trees cast shadow as
they meet in the center Of the thor
oughfare. For be II remembered, "in
the spring, the young mans fancy,
lightly turns to thought OF love"
Another sign OF real Oklahoma
spring can be seen on the oak trees.
where the little yellow worms are

in as large numbers as usually.

new OFFICERS Will
TAKE OFFICE MAY 3
APPORTIONMENT OF DUTIES NOT
YET MADE-POLICE DEPART
MENT HEADS CHANGE.

The elective officers of the city of
Tulsa will take up their new duties on
May 3, or the first regular meeting
day of the city commission in the
month of May. On this date the terms
of the present officers will expire.
They were elected for term of two
years.
In the meantime the new officials
will probably organize, apportion
their duties and otherwise prepare to
step into the vacancies that will be
left. Just who will be police com
missioner has not yet been decided,
although Charles Comedy has been
strongly mentioned for that office.
There will also be finarCe commits
sioner, a street and public property
commissioners and a commissioner of
water works and sewers. The officials
who. were elected last week have not
yet met, but will probably get to-
gether some time this week
The offices Of chief of police and
water works superintendent are the
two most imortant ones to be filled
by the incoming officers. The pres
ent water superintendent, b. H.
Sands, has resigned, effective May l.
Chief of Pol-"e Newblock will step
down and out at the same time and
John Moran, assistant chief, will also
leave the department. Ed Yoder is
slated for the chiefs job. Yoder has
had police experience and is one OF
the democratic leaders here. His
friends point to the fact that he has
labored hard and long for the party
and that he is deserving of reward.
There Is sure to be a shake-up in the
police department. although 1t will
not extend very far.
Most Of the appolntive offices viii
be unchanged. as the present incum-
bents worked with might and main
for the election of the democratic Of
ficials elect, and are naturally looking
for another two years term. II is

BEST ADVERTISING FOR BANKS
Local Newspaper Which Reaches All
Glasses Strongest Medium, Says
ST. Louis Banker.

Speaking at Sikeston, Mo-, before
members of the Missouri Bankers as
sociation, r. l.. Quincy, manager OF
the savings department of the Com
monwealth Trust company, st. Louis,
made strong plea for newspaper adj
vertising exclusively in the banking
business. The subject 'of Mr. Gurney's
talk was Advertising Lemons" in
which class he placed most OF the
other mediums for which bank adver-
tising is sought He strongly urged
advertising by contract, as only by
systematic and continued effort could
results be obtained Among other
things Mr. Quincy said;
THE first step, and it is of para
mount importance, is to decide to
spend your advertising appropriation
buying newspaper space only. You
will find 1t a hard matter to adhere
rigidly to this decision, but 1t will pay
we'll to do so. Your bank is for all
classes of people, and there's no way
to present your appeal for new bust
ness to all classes except by means OF
the local newspaper. 1t not only
reaches all classes, but gees into every
home; here it is read by each mem
Der of the family. The daily newspa-
per is controlling factor in the daily
life of every man and woman, and we
ought really to say-eveiy boy and
girl-for the children are such prolific
readers nowadays
Regardless of what other forms OF
publicity you may employ, you must
carry your advertisement in the news.
papers continually If you would have
your appeal for business reach the
maximum number of people"
