COMMITTEE ExoNERArEs BOARD
Legislature Sanctions Book Selections
Made by Old State Board Of
Education in July, 1912

Oklahoma City, April 24.-The unan-
imous report of the general investi-
eating committee of the House regard
ing the book adoption made by the
state board of education last summer
and the unanimous adoption of the re-
port by the House adds another chap
ter to one of the most spectacular Of
ficial events that has occurred in Ok
lahoma.
About three months after the board
of education had determined to make
the adoption during the month of
July, the governor advised some men,
bers of the board TO postpone the
adoption, giving as his reasons that 1t
was bad politics. The board consider
ed a motion to reconsider it's former
action but by vote of to agreed to
proceed as formerly planned.
Soon after the board went into ses-
sion, the governor threatened the
board members with dismissal unless
they postponed the adoption, but they
continued in session hearing the
claims of representatives and consid-
ering bids and proposals. On the af-
ternoon Of July 27th, when the board
again voted to to proceed with the
adoption, the governor wrote letters to
the four appointive members who
voted not to postpone-Brandenbu
Hayes. Dunlop and Glen-and demand
ed their immediate resignation. Supt.
Brandenburg resigned, but the other
three members with Supt Wilson
continued with the adoption, which
was finished. The governor then re-
fused TO accept the resignation of Supt.
Brandenburg.
Then followed court action, when
other appointments were made and
the three members-Hayes, Glen and
Dunlop-secured an order from the
court restraining the new members
from interfering with the affairs of
the board Rather than appeal the
case to the. supreme court, where II
could have been decided without cost
to the people, the governor called a
special session of the senate, and the
senate refused to confirm any of the
men appointed by the governor.
The committee made a thorough in.

FARM NOTES
. o . Q . Q Q . . . . . . o .

Feeders of beef cattle are pretty
well agreed that better results are
secured If the grain ration is mixed
with the roughage, resulting in more
thorough mastication as well as ASST
initiation of the ration. It is in quite
measure due to this fact that silage
is proving so satisfactory a ration for
fattening steers.
The amount invested in building a
machine shed is in most cases a good
deal less than the amount already tied
up in machinery to be protected. The
slipshod manner in which high priced
farm machinery is exposed to the ele-
ments constitutes one of the big yet
avoidable leaks IN American farm
management.
A clean well drained barnyard is es-
sential for producing clean milk, not
taking into consideration the comfort
and satisfaction of milking in such
yard. The barn should be located with
the idea of obtaining a slope away
from the farm buildings.
Dozens of dairy farmers are milk
ing twenty cows twice each day of the
year, when oftentimes twelve or fif-
teen of the number would pay lar
ger profit. The idea is to find out
which are the good COWS and give
. an, Tho okfoaNfo, tlo., ooaJ
Cockerels that are kept after Oct. Is
unless intended for breeding purposes
next season, become higher priced
meat with every day that passes, for
they eat greedily, and do not make as
rapid gain in weight as they did in
the first five or six months.
Cheap potatoes furnish an excellent
ration for hogs and dairy cows, and
ten of thousands of bushels of them
will be used that way the coming few
months.
Roup among poultry is what bad
colds are to humans. In the early
stages OF the disease mixture of ten
drops of carbolic acid and table,
spoonful OF kerosene is excellent, five
drops of this being given twice a day.
II the roup does not yield, another
medicine may be given made by ad-
ding five drops of aconite to a pint OF
water. The affected fowls should be
nut by themselves and kept dry and
warm.

FINAL SETTLEMENT FOR INDIANS

Representative Charles d. Carter in
troduced two bills in congress- for
settlement of the affairs of the five
civilized tribes in Oklahoma. The
measures provide for distribution for
the tribal funds and provide reserve
for the benefit of Indian schools.
The tribal estate OF the Choctaws
and Chickasaws consists OF coal and
asphalt lands, ell lands, timber lands,
agricultural lands and amounting to
from $10,000,0O0 to a billion dollars.
The bills would give each beneficiary
from s1,OO to 81 500.
Both bills direct the secretary OF the
interior to expedite the sale of the
surface of the segregated mineral land
and the remainder of the unallotted
lands, classification and sale of the
tribal reserve in the Choctaw Nation
as agricultural lands to be sold for
not less than twice the appraised val
ue and in tracts, not exceeding 100
acres each; grazing lands in tracts not
exceeding $40 acres each, and timber
land in tracts not exceeding 1850
acres.

TO PROTECT MINOR ESTATES
Oklahoma Congressional DelegatiOn
Makes Recommendation to the
Stnte Legislature

The Oklahoma Congressional dele
cation met in caucus at Washington
TO discuss the Indian probate situation
in the Oklahoma State courts and the
charges of Irregularities of guardians
and of handling Indian lands and
funds in the State; also to devise ways
and means for the PASSAGE of such
legislation as will insure to the pro-
gress and development of Oklahoma.
The following telegram to Governor
Cruce and both branches of the State
Legislature was authorized to be sent:
"Your delegation in Congress desir-
es to respectfully call your attention
to the necessity for amending and i'm
proving our probate laws for the bet
ter protection Of minor estate and full
blood heirs. The numerous investiga-
tions of these matters made by Federal
employees report appalling conditions.
These reports have been exploited in
both chambers of Congress. An in
vestigation by our State authorities
confirms such reports and finds the
derogatory accusations of the Mott re-
port as Substantially correct

fronted with these charges, and this
admission, when attempts are made to
get legislation. Unless something is
done toward outlining a procedure

of the proceeds thereof, which will
provide hearings in open court after

fectlng these estates and which gener-
ally tishtens up our probate procedure
along safe and honest lines, your del
egation in Congress will be unable to

sary for the development and prosper
ity of cur State. and it may be ex-
tremely difficult to retain such probate

truth probably is that success is more
dependent on the mRn-his intelli-

the favorable environment to be found

a man in the hope of improving his
condition has moved to what seemed
to be a more favorable section and

Both bills provide for division
once during each fiscal year OF all
tribal funds On hand until exhausted,
the same to be mado to all unrestrict-
ed members Of the tribe and to por-
ton of the unr ricted members while
holding the coal and asphalt as an
educational fund on behalf of a por-
tion of the 50 called restricted class.
The first bill gives the cash to all In
dams OF less than three-fourths In
dian blood and reserves the mineral
deposits for the school benefit OF the
others and new measure reserves the
mineral deposits for schools of those
of one-half or more Indian blood, but
under is years Of age only, and pro-
vides cash payment to others even in
cluding full bloods over 1S years OF
age.
It is thought that some disposition
of the Mississippi choctaw enrolment
will be necessary before either of the
bills can get favorable, action. and IL

had there been any evidence OF crook

A great many housewives have had
trouble in making rich, light, moist mullins
without their falling, and to overcome this,
they have resorted to making the batter 50
stiff that when baked, the mullins are very
dry. A muffin can be made almost as
light and just as palatable as pop-over
but to make a light, moist muffin which is
not soggy in the center, a double-raise
baking powder such as X G must be used.
X G Baking Powder has two separate and
distinct raises: one when moisture is
added, and the other when heat is applied
so that the raising is sustained una the
muffin is baked through, and all danger Of
falling and becoming soggy is past.
Like biscuits, the softer the dough goes
into the oven, the lighter the mullins that
come out Of it.
