Good Word for the
WOmen'S College

This evening marks the passing Of
the big A. G. M. encampment. Every
thing will be packed and loaded by 6
O'Clock and will leave for Hobart to-
morrow. While the attendance has
not been as large as It should have
been, those attending have manifested
unusual interest in the classes, from
the little fellows forming the class in
physical training to the women in the
domestic science department.
Yesterday afternoon was given over
to the study Of poultry and animal dis
eases. The largest crowd attending
the day sessions was present to wit
ness the operations on horses BY J. X.
Callicotte. Twelve horses were oper-
ated on during the session yesterday.
The work in the domestic science
department was featured by a demon
stration on bread baking. All the
operations connected with bread maxi
ing were handled in remarkably
clever way.
The feature of the night session was
the address by President j. H. Connell
OF the A. & N. college. President
Connell touched rnon the close rela-
tions of the Oklahoma College for
Women, located here, and the a. & M.
college. He told of his interest in
getting the bill through that author
ized the creation of the institution in
this city and expressed his gratitude
at the bright prospects before this
school for he said as the Womenz
college prospers so will the a. & NJ.

made statement this afternoon IN
which he thanked the people OF Chick
asha for the courteous treatment ten
dered the encampment workers
throughout the session. He said he
realized the many obstacles in the
way Of a large attendance here and
that what the attendance was short
in numbers, those present made up for
in intense interest and appreciation
Of the meetings. He especially ex-
pressed his thanks to the local people
who have taken active parts in the
work here and have helped to make
their stay in Chiekasha a pleasant
one.

The investigation which eliminated
in the arrest yesterday has been TO-
ing on since rumors of graft in the
councilmanic body began to assume
proportions. Mayor William B.
Thompson sought the services Of de
tectives and Andrew H. Green, a prom
inent manufacturer agreed to finance
the probe. Soon after the investiga-
ton was begun, the Wabash railroad
applied for the closing OF a street on
the grounds that it wanted to erect
a warehouse and otherwise increase
its shipping facilities. This was held
up in council for a time. Then sud
denly the council granted the appli
cation by a vote Of several members
who had previously opposed the mea
sure.
Meanwhile the Burns operative whC
reported himself to be a land agen
for the Wabash railroad, according t.
the charges, into negotiations with thl
secretary Of the common council com
mittee. It was decided, it is alleged
that several who had been opposing
the street measure would Withdraw
their opposition for $3.50 each. som'
of the aldermen are said to have heli

different amounts would, if necessary
be allowable and yesterday the alder
men began to draw their money.

council leader, is most commented III
on. It is said that he has already file

WOMEN DELEGATES MAY BOLT
Will Demand of Republican COnven-
ton at Chicago the Insertion of
Woman Suffrage Plank.

CHICAGO.-If a bolt of the re-
publican national committee comes
from no other quarter it may be fur
nished by the woman suffragists.
Mrs. Catherine Waugh Mccullough
declared last night that unless a
plank favoring equal suffrage is in
Guided in the national platform the
guns of the women's party will be
trained on the republicans.
The threat, according to the wo-
men, should cause serious considera-
ton on the part of the delegates, as
their refusal might mean the cost of
five or six states which have insti-
tuted equal suffrage.
Miss Jane Adams has been Sc
1ected to argue for the plank before
the platform committee. If it is
refused the suffragists will work for
their cause on the floor of the con-
vention chiefly through Mrs. Blaney,
delegate at large from California.

They say good Americans, when
they die, go to Paris, but live"
Americans go to Havana. Havana,
gay, wicked, wide open, it is the
one city today to be Stunned or Wis
tied, according to ones point of
view. Several cities have been call
ed the wickedest city-Reno, Ne
vada, Port Said and Irkutsk, Siberia,
for instance They are wicked cit
les, but their wickedness is of a sor-
did variety. Havana is wicked and
gay. And five hours from the Unit
ed States.
In Paris the might life," gay res
taurants and dances are for English
and American tourists. In Havana
the "gay life'' is for the natives. It's
wickedness is part of its life. Every
thing in Havana is wide open. And
of it's 81 varieties of w'ckedness the
mildest is gambling Gambling
houses in Havana are open to both
men and women. All that is neces-
sary is a bank roll. Roulette, faro,
hazard and good American poker
are at hand.
In one hotel is temple of chance
where one can WOO the tickle god
dess as she can be wooed nowhere
in America. And what is more, it is
fashionable to do so. Even as one
sips his chocolate in the morning
the daily round has its beginning. A
half dozen peddlers of lottery tickets
interrupt the meal. The lottery in
Cuba is run by the government, and
there are drawings every three
months for enormous prizes. The
first prize is 100000.
The tickets are hawked about the
streets and sold at every corner
store. But the fact that the govern
ment conducts it does not guarantee
it's being on the level.
If one sits around cafe any
length of time-and large part or
every day is spent in this way-one
is certain to be invited to witness a
cock fight. Cock fighting is one of
the commonest sports in Cuba, and
while it is against the law it is rare
ly interfered with. Largo sums
change hands on these bloody exhibit
tions.
But it is not until after dark that
Havana takes on its air of gayety.
Then the Prado and the Malacon and
the various parks become a fairy
land of lights. A band plays at the
Malacon, as the boulevard along the
ocean front is called. All Havana
energies from it's cool and comforta-
bic stone houses ready for a night
of pleasure.
The cafes are crowded, there is a
constant stream of automobiles and
carriages up and down the boule-
wards. The sidewalks are filled with
people nurrying to the theatres.
They are nearly all dressed in the
hight of fashion. Havana is one OF
the richest cities in the world. Its
STYLES come direct from Paris. The
only cheap things are tobacco and
matches.
At 8 O'Clock performances begin

THE WICKEDEST CITY.
Havana Is the Most Wide-Open Place in the Western
Hemisphere and Turns Night Into Day

in a dozen theatres. In the moving
picture and variety theatres one
finds real wickedness. The grizzly
bear" the bunny hug" are mod
est compared with the dances shown
on the STAGES of the variety theatres,
where the public is admitted for rs
and SO cents. The little plays are
beyond description and the actresses
wear very scanty attire.
At midnight Central Park, which
is in the heart of the city, is as
crowded and filed with life as
Broadway and Forty-second streets
in New York before the theatres
swallow up the crowds. The cafes
are filed with people, but instead Of
eating Holsters and draining cold
bottles they eat ice cream and sip
soft drinks. There is very little
drinking of alcoholic liquors in Ha-
vana.
Of course, all Havana does not go
to the theatres. Many of the fash
ionable set seek the clubs, some seek
the gambling palaces and others at
tend mask balls, which are given
nightly. The dancing, even at the
fashionable balls, would be called
immoral" in America. The gayest
affairs are given on Sunday nights
at the Theatre Nacional. They be-
gin about midnight and last until 8
or 9 O'Clock Monday morning.

AGED BILL AGAINST U. S.
Merryman Would Collect for Corn
Eaten by Horses.


Probably the oldest unpaid bill
against the United States is that held
by George H. Merryman of Balti-
more county, Maryland, who almost
half century ago, contributed by
force of arms" 100 bushels of corn
on the ear to the United States
army. Mr.. Merryman was never paid
for the corn, and now he is seriously
considering in what way he can col
lect the overdue bill and it's accum-
ulated interest. His bill at the pres
ent time is between $500 and $1,000
at 5 or per cent interest. Mr..
Merryman has his voucher, which
reads as follows:
Headquarters 9Th Illinois Corps.
Cockeysville, Md, July Is, o.
This is to certify that l have recelV-
ed of George Merryman, traitor to
the United States government and a
strong rebel sympathizer, one hun
dred (10O) bushels of corn on the
ear for use of public horses of the
regiment. G. A. HUMPHREY.
"1st Asst. Act. Adj. 8th Ill. !"
Mr.. Merryman has kept the vouch-
err for As years among his many 9th
er relics of the civil war, but now he
wishes to realize on what he hopes
will be profitable investment for
him in the end. Mr.. Merryman is
now 80 years old, and is president of
+ha Mutual Insurance COmnanV of
Baltimore county.

WHY NOT RAISE OUR GOATS?
Proposition Which Ought to Appeal
to Far-Sighted Americans.

1t would seem that if there were
enough goats in the United States to
go around this country would be ev-
cry ten years 100000 the rich
er. That is the tale told by the gov
eminent bureau of statistics while
saying that the people of the United
States imported 500,O00,0OO goat
skins in the last decade and paid
$3.50, 100000 for them.
The annual importation ranges in
value from $20,000,0OO to $25, 0OO,-
900. The value of a goat skin is
about so cents. 1t is declared about
time that we raised all the goats we
want ourselves instead of permitting
Vera Cruz, in Mexico, and elsewhere
to raise them for us. And goats
have a value apart from their skins.
Indeed, the meat of the goat is even
of greater value as food.

TELLS ABOUT GROWING CORN
DIR. SOULE OF THE STATE AGRI-
CULTURAL COLLEGE WRITES.
Gives Valuable Information to Boys
Corn Clubs ON Matter of Planting
and Raising Corn

Corn Clubs ON Matter of Planting
and Raising Corn.
Prof. Andrew M. Soule, the presi-
dent of the State Agricultural Col
lege, has written District Agent Cum
bingham of the Boys Corn Club
contests in regard to the work which
is being done in the state and gives
the boys some valuable information
In his letter Prof. Soule says
''The boys should be advised to
plant their corn up to the 18th of
June, for the season is long enough
in Georgia to permit late planting
and still obtain a fine crop; in fact,
corn should either be planted late
or early in this climate and, accord
ing to my observation, the late plant
ed corn often out-yields that planted
early.
Tell the boys not to plant the
corn until they have the land ready,
to pillow it thoroughly, but not when
it is wet, and to prepare a fine seed
bed, as this is very important. They
should fertilize literally, using a
rather large amount of nitrogen, at
least half of which should be quick
ly available. If they can secure
vegetable matter to place in the drill
row so much the better. On heavy
clay lands we think a 9-3-3 formula
used at the rate of 500 pounds per
acre would be about right. On loamy
soils which show the presence of
some sand about 10-4-4. On light
sandy land from 10 to II per cent
of phosphoric acid, to 5 per cent
of nitrogen, and to per cent OF
potash should be used.
''On heavy clay land and loamy
soils side applications of two to three
hundred pounds should be made.
On sandy lands probably two side
applications of two to three hundred
pounds each can be used to advant~
age. The side applications should
be put on relatively early. Get the
last one on at least two weeks be-
fore the corn punches to tassel. Tell
the boys that shallow persistent cul-
tivation is of the utmost Importance
and advise them to keep 1t up as
late in the season as possible. The
boys must not be discouraged, for
there is no place in the United States
where corn may be planted so late
and still produce as high yield as
in Georgia. The use of side applica-
tons will help the yield in our judg-
ment this season.
1.-The advisability of using nitrate
of soda as a top dressing cannot be
foretold at this writing, but we will
inform the boys relative to this mat
ter later on. We want them to re-
member that the college stands ready
to give them individual advice and
suggestions relative to the cultiva-
ton, fertilization and management
of their crop Tell your club men,
bers not to be disheartened. Advise
with the county school superintend-
ents and the teachers and urge them
to encourage the boys"

mn PARTS OF MAN IN COLD STORAGE

in cold storage and there they con-
tinued to live and grow after they
had been transplanted. Clinical re-
ports showed conclusiVely that they
did, so that with the experiments
completed and verified it was posi-
BILE to inform the profession that the
institute was prepared to supply
them on short notice.
Several of the country's famous
surgeons have been using these cold
storage tissues for the past several
months. John B. Murphy had occa-
sion only recently to rush an order
from Chicago to New York for a
cartilage which he wanted to use in
case of knee disease that he was
about to operate upon. The carti-
lege was shipped by express in a tiny
refrigerator, arrived safely and was
used. The patient recovered the
use of his leg and is walking about
as though he had never had trouble
with 1t.
This advance in surgery simplifies
the method of transplantations of
skin and bone. Surgeons used to
graft skin from one living creature
to another. They used to scrape the
leg of the dog and strap the animal
to the patient, but now science has
given the surgeon living skin, living
bone and living glands that are most
essential to life, and all he has to do
is to break the seal of the refrigera-
tor and place the part in position
and it grows.
