ON THE SPUR
or TIE MOMENT

Grandma's Bonnet.
Grandma used to wear a bonnet
With but very little on it:
Not a single peacock feather
Flopped or fluttered in the weather.
Ffve-foot brims were not in order.
Nor the hanging curtain border.
Ostrich plumes that cost full twenty
Were not then SO very plenty.
Stuned flamingoes. embalmed parrots,
Turnips, rutabagas, carrots.
Grape and apple limitations
Were not used az decorations.
Grandma's hat did not disguise her,
You could always recognize her.
So we dedicate this sonnet
To the modest little bonnet.
Each succeeding generation
Makes us love grandma's creation.
Women's hats keep growing bigger
And they cut more OF figger.
Loved ones faces, all concealing.
Not an eye or nose revealing,
Man can't pick his wife or cousin
In the street out Of q dozen.
He is very oft mistaken
And his nerves are badly shaken
When he elevates his cady
To some strange offended lady
And she glares until to him It
Seems to be about the limit.
Wtfe's new hat has too much on II.
All, for that old grandma bonnet.

lay the entire appropriation measure
Indefinitely and the senate conferees
are sure to give in.
A hard fight was waged in the CON-
mittee over the equalization fund for
the Creek Indians. Senator Owen in
troduced an amendment providing
that the Creeks should be paid up to
$S0C each, this amount being approx
ed by the interior department. but
Senator Curtis objected. Curtis de-
sired they should give up their right
to claim any additional moneys up to
sl,040, which the Creeks declare is
due them to equalize the land grants
made to them by the treaty of 1902
Senator Owen favored the payment of
$500 and granting the Creeks the
right to come to congress or the court
of claims at any time they see fit, to
collect the money which they say is
due them. Owing to the objection
of Senator Curtis, the matter rested
for several days.

MANY CHANGES IN INDIAN BILL
100000 TO MAINTAIN SCHOOLS

Eluch untaxable lands in that section
tnat it was impossible for county and
municipal governments to maintain
adequate educational facilities with
ont boosting the tax rate to a point
far beyond what the people could
stand.
It is not believed that the house will
raise further objection to the item as
the federal government is largely re-
sronsible for the tax decision which
reigns in the eastern side.
Probably one of the most important
items outside the appropriation for
the school is the provision which ex-
tends to the secretary of the interior
70 make future per capita payments
TO the members of the Five Civilized
tribes without specific authority of
congress.
In the past per capita payments
tave been delayed oftimes for many
months, because OF legislative jams
in congress. In several cases these
payments should have been made i'm
mediately to relieve conditions aris-
ing in the Five Tribes. The measure
makes an appropriation of $4,000 to
cover the expenses of these payments.
Should this provision become law it
will be a great step toward ending the
delays marking the present admins
tration of Indian affairs.
The bifi also provides an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the Goodland In
dustrial school near Hugo, Okla.
Muskogee Agency Upheld.
Governor Brown of the Seminole
nation, stating that the Indians were
in need of financial assistance, urged
tie authorization Of 5000 per cap
i.a payment to members of his tribe
and this was acted upon favorably.
The secretary of interior will make
these payments as soon as the bill
becomes law.
The senate committee was inclined
TO believe that the house had acted
unwisely in cutting the appropriation
FOR the maintenance of the office OF
the commissioner of the Five Civiliz-
ed tribes and the Union agency at
Muskogee to $15OOOO and consequent
ly the amount was raised to $250,OOO
for the next year This will mean
that the commissioner will be enabled

ables all mucous surfaces to exchange in

fectually cleanse the system and thus put
an end to all catarrhal pollution. S. S. s.
cleans out the stomach of mucous ac-

MEDIATION PLAN
FOR MEXICO
FAN-AMERICAN UNION SUBMITS
PLAN FOR MEDIATION RATHER
THAN INTERVENTION.

| in Mexico, rather than Intervention
by the appointment of Pan-American
commission was urged Thursday upon
| President Taft, Senator Cullom of the
| foreign relations committee, and Rep
resentative Flood of the foreign af-
| fairs committee by John Barrett, di-
| r0ctor-general of the Pan American
| u ION.
The commission, which, it is sug-
gested, should seek to bring about 4
| reddjustment of Mexican affairs,
would be composed of a statesman
flcm the United States, an eminent
Latin-American diplomat now in
Washington and an influential Mexi-
can. Mr.. Barrett suggested for the
&C omission such men as Senator Root
or William j. Bryan, Senor Colderon
minister from Bolivia, or DR.. De Pena
minister from Uruguay, and Senior De
Ia Barra of Mexico former ambassa-
dor to the United States.
The mediation proposal was made
after conferences with members of the
senate and house, and following re-
rewed assurances from the state de-
rartment that there is no present in
teDtion of departing from the estab-
lished policy of handling the situa-
ton in Mexico.
In his letter outlining the pan, Mr..
Barrett says that 'it involves media
ton, rather than intervention, inter-
national American cooperation, rath-
er than individual United States ac-
ten, and a practical application OF
the Pan-American, rather than the
Monroe doctrine.
The commission, he suggests, should
investigate the situation in Mexico
or the ground and make recommen
dation to Mexico which shall readjust
the situation in favor of permanent
peace and stability"
Wilson Would Submit Plan
Through Ambassador Wilson in
Mexico City, the plan would be pre-
sci ted to the Mexican government
and to the revolutionary leaders, who
would be urged to cease hostilities
pending the action and report of the
~, ,icci chnull hn do
known to the Mexicano government
and people that they would be ev-
pected, with this moral support and
Interest Of all America, to carry out
the conclusions of such international
commission.
''If Latin-America and Mexico fail
to act on this suggestion" says Mr..
Jarrett, "they still will be obliged to
admit that the United States has first
tried to proceed on the fairest lines
possible and with every effort to con-
vince Latin-America and Mexico of
it's good faith and intentions.
above all things" he added, "it
will bring for the moment immediate
peace to Mexico, the actual protection
of life and property of foreigners,
which should in due time develop IN
to permanent peace, stability and
prosperity for the Mexican govern
ment and people, without striking
blow at Mexico's independence and
with evidence to all America that the
United States seeks no territorial ag-
grandizement."

that there is more demand for the

than there has been in this section
for a number of years. Many per-
sons are removing to this section

and are desirous of renting for a
year, so that they can find out by
actual demonstration all that there
is to learn about the productiveness
of Carter county soil before they

Poor Public Bathing Facilities.

II may be suggested that this peculiar
choice OF a bathing place brings sharply
10 mind the fact that Washington is
practically without public bathing ia
cilities. There is. TO be sure so-called

lice Court, an evidence OF insanity for

Impossible 10 do so without paying a

recommend that the public fountains be
opened to indiscr;minate and promiscu-

possible TO provide bathing places, as a

Washington is most inadequately un-
equipped in this respect, and in the pro-
gram FOR the development OF the model

facilities should be given conspicuous
