The banquet was held in New York
last Friday night and the chief
speakers of the occasion were Secre-
tary Bryan, of the department OF
state Secretary Houston of the de

country, dwelt at length on the value
Of cooperation between the state and
the farmer, the necessity of improved
marketing conditions in this country

farm credit system. His speech Gre

Oklahoma postmasters must work.
This is the decree of President VII
son. The old fashioned office holder
who spent but little time in his Of
flee has passed. The president has
issued instructions to Postmaster
General Burleson, to request from
each applicant for an office, a state
ment that he will devote at least eight
hours each day to the performance
of his duties as postmaster. if ap-
pointed. And, although nothing has
been said so far it is a safe guess
that postmasters who violate these
promises after they once get into
office will be forcibly dealt with by
the department.

Owing to reports of public health
service examiners, who have spent
much time investigating the preva-
lence of trachoma and other contag-
ious diseases among the Indians in
Oklahoma, it is expected that 100000
will be appropriated by the present
congress to stamp out the infection.
Reports Of the investigators show
that conditions are worse in
Oklahoma than in any other state in
the union. Possibly this is due to
the fact that two-thirds of the In
dams in the United States reside in
the state. 1t is expected that the
most of the funds to be appropriated

Congress is expected to soon ap-
prove the appropriation of S20O,OOO
for the advancement of the affairs OF

1t is proposed to aid them in the
purchase of farming implements and
supplies and to otherwise place them
on a firmer footing footing as one of
the important units in the agricnltu-
raj system of the state.

homa. Recently in letter he eX-
! pressed the departments intention to
withdraw at the end &C the present

haC been waged on State Agent Bent

state institutions. Secretary Hous-
ton also at that time declared that
he would not assign Director Knapp

also expected to relent in this regard
Owing to the clash between the

FEDERAL LEAGUE
MAY. INVADE
NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-News that
President Gilmore of the Federal
league was on his way to this city
seems to bear out recent statements
that the league is about to make an
entry into New York. Several men of
prominence in local sporting circles
are connected with the reports.
The question Of obtaining an avail
able field proved a serious setback to
the American league when it made its
successful fight 10 years ago to put
club in Manhattan. and would un
doubtedly be the same with the Fed
eral league.
There is chance. however, that the
federals may obtain the American
league park. given up by the Yankees
at the close of the 1912 season The
field, which has been idle for year,
has been mentioned in the rumors.
Jess and Edward Mcmahon, who
have been conducting semiprofessional
baseball at Olympic field for several
years. were mentioned yesterday in
connection with the proposed club
here. When asked last night IL there
was anything in the report Jess Nc
Mahon said:
This is all news to us, although We
knew that the Federals had been look
ing with longing eyes toward New
York. Our friendship with John Nc
Graw and Frank Farrell would not
permit us to have hand in the local
outlaw club"

of 500 yards. The back markers had
caught up with the limit men at the
end OF the second mile. The balance
of the race was fast. owing to the
men making jumps to get away from
the field. 1t was not until the last
lap, however, that Born and Drury
got away and Ohrt gave chase. Ohrt
gradually wore down the leaders and
came home a'winner by a scant half
wheel.
The men finished in the following
order: Ohrt, scratch; Born, scratch;
Tracey scratch: George Drury, 100

 Nearly one hundred head of horses and mules will be used in the har- \eStln$ this season. COT this number EiNtN arrived by train on Saturday from Yuma where they have been employed on railroad construction work. The last of the shipment. twenty head more, are expected to arrlVt sometime today.
 The work in the fields is system atized throughout. Fourteen four horse blows will be used for the present Eight men including the toppers are used to each blow.
 Loading dumps will be maintained at Helena and Frankenburg sidings. the former located on the Ariznna Eastern railroad seven miles south and the latter on the Phoenix and Winkleman line four miles east
 Twenty Courthouse wagons will be used to transfer the beet5 from the fields to the ears preparatory to topping. About six men will be re Iuired at each dump
 While operations are in full sway the local fields will supply about nine railroad ear loads per day The first cars will leave the local dumps this evening. The factory at Glen dale, supplied first by the crop har- vested from the Glendale fields where work started the latter part O. last week, will start on it's summer run tomorrow
