Senator Jones Introduces Bill Provid-

Washington, Aug. 22.-Intended as a
harbinger of woman's emancipation,
Senator Jones of Washington state has
offered a bill setting aside a space in
the proposed plaza between the capitol
and the Union station solely for the
raising of statues and memorials IN
women. He would have it known as
the "Parthenon."

senator Jones is in earnest in his
proposal, however, and he has the am

ARE OUR CHICKENS

Herbert Quick, editor Of Farm and
Fireside, writes an article In the cur
, rent issue of that publication in which
he says that many American chicken
fanciers have been breeding on the
theory that fine feathers make fine
birds, which is not the truth. Now
they are confronted by the fact that
the utility breeders Of Australia and
England have been breeding for lay
ing and have beaten them. Mr., Quick
goes on to say:
mo work Of a higher scientific
character or Of more general utility
has ever been done In poultry than

tiles are inherited. He has given us

FARMERS GETTING ELECTRICITY
THROUGH WINDMILCs

In the current issue Of Farm and
Fireside, F. S. Culver, a practical
and SC entific electrician writes an
article entitled, THE Convenience OF
Electricity on the Farm" showing
how 1t is possible for the farmer to
supply his own power and light. lie
brings out the fact that power for
electricity can be obtained through
windmills. He says that there are
very few localit .es in the United
States that do not have sufficient wind
to operate one Of these plants. An
other notable feature is that the
days of least wind occur in the sum
mer months when the days are the
longest and tho least artificial light Is
required. These windmill plants are
used to obtain, in addition to the
power for lights. power for small mo
tors for the operation Of some of the
small machines about farm, such
as a cream separator, washing ma
chine, churn and vacuum cleaner,

Considerable wind was prevalent about
midnight, which did small damage in

ENTERTAINED
BARTLESyILLE, DEWEY PAWHUS-
KA AND TULSA SHOWED PENCIL
PUSHER HOW TO DO THINGS

The newspaper editors of Oklahoma
held their annual convention at Bar
tlesville last Friday and Saturday-and
If they are not laid up with indigestion
this week it is because they have
strong constitutions, for they certainly
were dined and feted to the Queens
taste And for fear Bartlesville could
not do the job well enough alone, Dew
ey, Pawhuska and Tulsa took a hand
in the game, and they all went the
limit
The writer of this article had occas-
ion to visit the northern part of the
state last week, and he concluded to
kill two birds with one stone" and
for the time being get back into the
fourth estate" and rub elbows with
his professional brethren of other days.
To say he got his moneys worth
would be putting it but mildly; he was
royalty entertained, met lot of splen-
did fellows, in and out of the press
association, saw several of the pret-
tiest and liveliest cities in the great
state of Oklahoma; inspected indus
trial plants, oil wells, parks, country
clubs, government Indian schools, wit
messed the initiation OF several of the
prominent newspaper men of the state
into the magnanimous and muzzleC
order of "Houn Dogs" at Bartlesville
and a stomp dance by blanket In
dians at Pawhuska. Incidentally, o
course, he heard the newspaper mel
talk shop" and discuss matters o
state, and, on the side, it may be re
marked that if the governor and mem
bers of the legislature could hay,
heard themselves discussed and Gus
sed, they would have grave mtsgivingi
for the future, to say the least.
Bartlesville, where the convention
was held, is a splendid little city, witt
a population Of about $4,000. It is tn
heart of very rich oil field, and ev
erybody seems to be literally supplied
with money, It has fine bushes
: houses. magnificent public buildings
attractive homes, paved streets, park
and all that gees to make II a desirabl
place of residence, and with its appar
emily unlimited supply o, natural gas
