scarcely be said that morals enter.
The movies are putting the saloons

NEWFEDERAL COURT

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE PLAN
MING NEW TRIBUNAL -DOCk-
ETS cONGESTED.

Washington, d. c., Dec. l6.- That
an additional federal court district for
Oklahoma may be created by congress
now seems probable, especially in
view of the fact that Attorney
General McReynods in his annual re-
port to congress states that owing
to the 10000 Indian land suits and
other litigation occupying the atten-
ton of the federal court for the east
ern district of Oklahoma, it is impoS-
sible for one judge to deal with the
great mass OF litigation.
In commenting upon the eastern OK
Iahoma land suits, Attorney General
McReynolds says: cone district
Judge can hardly deal with the great
mass of litigation without practically
abandoning all other work and tenn
porary assignments of additional
Judges will become imperative"

PROPERLY MADE
QUESTIONS DECIDED BY BOARD
OF EDUCATION AND ATTORNEY
GENERAL.

Oklahoma City, Dec. 16.-Bids for
the new book adoption by the state
board OF education were properly
made and the board will proceed with
the work. This was settled today in
a conference by members of the board
and Attorney General West. Protest
had been made that when an adyer-
tisement of the bids had been placed
in a local paper Dec. 10 thirty days
would not intervene between that
date and Jan s. when the bids are
to be opened, and on that account the
bids would have to be ADVERTISED
again. The board had also taken other
means to advertise, which fully com
piled with the law, and the attorney
general decided that the advertise
ment had been properly made.
The board today settled definitely
upon the site for the permanent build
ings for the school for the deaf at
Sulphur and thus settled a contro-
versy which has ragged between the
east and west sides of the town ever
since the school was located there
The location is on the east side
in the same direction as the present
temporary location, out a little closer
in. The new location is still mile
from the main part Of the city. 1t is
on the top of a hill and is regarded
by the board as very desirable
A home for the president of the
State University at Norman not to
cost more than $4,000 was author
lied today by the board. The erec-
ton of the building will be under the
direction of the board of affairs. The
$4,000 was placed as the limit of the
cost of the home, although the board
may designate any amount less than
that.
The board elected DR.. c. R. Day of
this city as dean of the State Medical
School, to fill the vacancy caused by
ther esignation of DR.. w, J. jolly, who
has been dean of the institution since

enough so that the plant roots are
well spread and the crown of the plant,
the point where the roots and the
stems join, is just above the surface
of the soil. Cover the roots deeply,
and tread the soil firmly around the
plants. Pick off the blossoms and dead
leaves and keep the blossoms of the
plants during the first season so as to
conserve the energy of the plant and
get it we'll established. Be careful not
to allow the roots of the plants to be-
come dry before they are placed In
the ground.
Some of the plants are perfect and
can fertiliZe the seed, while other
plants in the same bed do not produce
pollen. hence require pollen from 9TH
er plants to produce fruit For this
reason 1t is a good plan to set one
row of perfect plants for every two
rows of the imperfect plants, although
this rule admits of q great deal or
variation.
AS soon as the plants are set in the
ground, water them well to bring the
soil particles in close contact with the
roots, and then either cultivate the
ground between the rows or cover 1t
with straw to prevent weed growth.
The cultivation is much preferable
during the first season. However,
many successful growers find 1t ad
visable to cover the ground with
straw until after the fruit is harvested
from a bearing bed. as 1t not only
prevents the growth Of weeds by
shading them. but 1t keeps the ripen-
ing fruit from being covered with mud
when 1t rains during the picking sea
son.
The plants should be set about Is
inches apart in the row, and the run
ners, or vine-like tendrils, must be
kept back with hoe the first season

RAISING Small Fruit.

April is the very best month to set
out q new strawberry bed, although
some climates will permit of this be-
ing done earlier, and many successful
beds are set out as late as June 10.
Select we'll drained, warm land which
has been used for garden patch the
previous year, II possible. Perfect
drainage is highly important for straw
berries. Pillow or spade the ground
from six to eight inches deep. turn
ing under a couple of inches OF we'll
rotted stable manure, and then cult
vate the surface until it is very fine
and smooth.
Buy good plants from your seeds
man, or, better still, from some man
who has good strawberry bed al
ready started, and be careful to get
good strong plants which are not run
down. The variety which will do best
on your soil depends so much upon
local conditions that 1t is not possible
to give advice in this department, but
you will be safe in getting your plants
from any reliable seed house or from
some grower in your neighborhood
who has a successful bed of his own.
The rows may be placed from two
and half to three feet apart where
the bed is to be cultivated by hand, or
