OKLAHOMA EDUCATORS. State Association Holding Three Day Convention at Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma City, Okla.. Nov. 5.-The Oklahoma State Educational associa- tion is holding its annual convention in this city, opening it's three day meeting here. The yearly convention of the organization has heretofore been held during the Christmas holi- days, but this year the experiment of holding it earlier is being tried. It was figured that the attendance would be greatly increased, and such has proven the case. Many of those who preferred spending their holidays with their families have found no reason for not attending these meet ings, and many have found an added incentive to attend in the fact that much Christmas shopping could be done on the trip. Stores have antici- pated some such idea. and are making extra display for visitors. Several noted lecturers will address the teachers at the business sessions.

LCNDON'S LONE FARMHOUSE
Relic Of tive Past In the Heart Of the

I.ondons last farmhouse. which

far as can be ascertained, the house
was built about 1910. but records show
that the farm WAS there much earlier

which WAS known as Capper's farm.
The house was called Cantelowe Close
The CapperS We're tenants of the
Dukes of Bedford. and their farm lands
stretched nOrthward to Tottenham
Court road and were bounded on the
east by what is now Bloomsbury
square. The original lease was grant
ed by Gertrude. dOwager Duchess Of
Bedford. and il contained clause that
the tenant should provide Sheds for at
least forty cows. This same clause
stands in the lease today. although the
time OF keeping cattle in Bloomsbury
is far past
The farm changed hands about the
middle of the eighteenth century and
came into possession Of the Misses
Capper, two maiden ladies'. who We're

In the early seventies a couple Of

mountain that guards the entrance,
hauled after them Flagstaff and a
union jack, set up the pole on the
summit and unfurled the flag to the

The astounded and indignant Brazil

allen bunting flying over their territory
from its most conspicuous emnence.
Protests were lodged with the English
minister. who. with the utmost po

eScapade of some entirely unknown
persons and gravely told the Brazilian
government that Of course he would
have no possible objection to the
prompt removal Of the flag and pole
The emperor. however, could find no
subject in all his wide empire who
would volunteer to make the ascent to
the summit of the mountain. which
the people Of Rio de JaDeiro consider

In this embarrassing dilemma the
brazilian government determined to
knock over the staff by shooting at it.
The Brazilian feet was ordered TO
shoot the offending pole off the top Of
the mountain. Either they could not

SURGICAL TAILORING.
Daring Method OF Making New Organs
From Old Ones.

Much more wonderful than the sur
gerry of cutting things out of the body
is the modern surgery Of making new
parts OF Il person body out OF some
convenient organ Or membrane that
may be spared for the purpose. One
of the most astonishing Is recent
method Of supplying person with
new esOphagus tube in the throat
through which food Is sent from the
mouth TO the stomach. Ii illustrates
perfectly the ingenious schemes of this
kind Of surgery
The opera ton is to relieve a person
who cannot swallow well, owing to
some growth in the throat. and so Is
wasting away FROM lack Of nutrition
A strip OF the persons stomach Is
used TO make new esophagus.

stomach at one end. The flap is then
held back and the two edges Of the
stomach are sawed together. eavlng
the patient whole stomach again,
though smaller than normal
The dap is then made into tube by
sewing its edges together, and care Is
taken to leave an opening from this
tube into the stomach at the end
where the flap is still attached to the
stomach. Satisfactory blood circuia-
ton Is provided for this Gap by the
blood vessels entering 1t from the end
attached to the stomach. The tube now
provided forms new esophagus.
The next step In the operation Is to
bring this esophagus to hole In the
skin Of the patients chest thus pro-
yiding a method by which the patient
can feed himself by pouring liquid
food through the tube.
a later operation, not yet 80 fully
perfected. can come when the patient
has recovered from this first opera
ton. This consists In cutting out the
part OF the old esophagus that is block
ed by a growth and then taking the
new tube away from the chest and
connecting it. through the normal path
