SKILL MARKS WORK
OF MISS STAHL IN
DRAMATIC READING
Interpretation of 'sStrong-
heart" Holds Big Audience
Despite Uneasiness Over
Approaching Storm.

Margaret Stahl. with her interpreta-
ton of "Strongheart," DeMille's IA.
nous drama to which Robert Edeson
owes SO largely his reputation, was
the chief attraction at the Richmond
chautauqua yesterday.
Despite the discomfort caused by
the rain and uneasiness of the crowd
over the storm Miss Stahl gave re-
markable performance and held her
big audience in perfect control from
beginning to end.
She is one Of the most beautiful
women before the Americn public and
is often called the Queen of the Plat
form" Her manner is charming and
unaffected and her voice has wonder
full moderation and range. She was
gowned with exquisite taste in yellow
charmeuse with a beaded tunic.
"Strongheart" Is the story of an In.
dian sent to Columbia University to
secure an education that would fit him
to take his fathers place as the chief
Of the Ojibway tribe. He rapidly be-
comes a hero in the school and wins
q place on the football team. One of
the striking scenes of the play is that
which depicts football match at
Thanksgiving. Owing to plot laid by
one of the members of the team. who
had decided to betray his mates for
the sake Of winning bets he had plac-
ed against his own side, Strongheart
was accused of sending the teams sig
nails to the enemy and was put out OF
the game during the intermission be-
tween the first and second halves.
Before this intrigue is unsnarled
Stronghold makes love to the sister OF
one of his teammates and is accepted
by her. Her brother, however, Strong
hearts closest friend, stormed with
rage to learn that an Indian had made
love to his sister and severed the close
ties that had bound him to the young
chief. In spite of this opposition
Strongheart presses his suit and de
termines to carry his white bride back
with him to his people when Black Ea
gle, a messenger from the tribe, ar
rives to tell Strongheart that his faith.
er is dead and that his people are ask
ing that he return to manage their at
fairs.
This afternoon Miss Stahl gave an
equally successful presentation OF
Frances Hodgson Burnett's famous
New Thought story 1.-THE Dawn of To
morrow" When she finished her in
depreciation of Glad" there were few
dry eyes in the audience.

No Debates in this Primary,

In one respect at least the pres
ent campaign for governor has been
different from the two preceding.
There have been no debates among the
candidates. In the first campaign
Governor Haskell and Judge Tom
Doyle put on q number Of joint de-
bates. In the last campaign, four
years ago, the various candidates got
together in a series of debates on
various points. In both campaigns
this method appeared very effective
in attracting the interest of the vot-
ers, and no doubt added to the draw
ing capacity Of the campaign. and con-
sequently to the information of the
voters as TO the candidates and the
issues.
This year there have been several
attempts to secure such debates but
all without result. Mr.. West imme-
diately after his announcement chal-
lenged Judge Williams to such a de-
bate, but the Judge declined. Later
Mr.. West asked Judge Robertson to
join him in a series of Joint discus
sions, but he likewise declined. The
latest attempt to SECURE such a meet
ing arose from Judge Williams speech
in Oklahoma City last week as pub
lished in the Oklahoman

Bank Takes Appeal.

The order of the state board Of
equalization that banks be assessed for
the full value of their capital stock,
personal property and real estate, and
only allowed exceptions thereon for
funds invested in public building
funds and none other, was made a
basis of an appeal to the district court
by the American National bank Of
Oklahoma City. The appeal is taken
from the action Of the county board
Of equalization, which had placed the
banks assessment on personal prop
erty at $145,445 prior to the action Of
the state board. After the state
boards order the county board by res
olution raised the assessment to $685.
445.
The principal question involved is
the taxability of the state funding Az
per cent series OF 1918 bonds. The
bank contends that they are non-tax-
able and that 1t surrendered state
warrants which drew per cent, for
those bonds on the states representa-
ton that they we're non-taxable. The
bank holds $244,100, also bonds to
the amount of $4,000 OF several
cities and towns of the state on which
II claims exception, and on which the
county board allowed the exceptions
originally, but reversed itself after
the state boards order.
The bank also contends that the
county board, after having acted once
lost Jurisdiction and that the only
way the assessment could be changed
after the county board had once acted
would be by an appeal to the district
court.

The 1914 Assessment.

The total assessed valuation of real
personal property in Oklahoma, aside
from property owned by public serv-
ice corporations, will be approximate
iy $904,000,000 for 1914, according
to estimates made by Frank Orr, sec
rotary of the state board OF equaliza.
ton. The valuation including public
service property will reach about ST..
200,000,000, according to present esti-
mates.
The state board OF equalization has
just completed its work Of equaliZing
the value of property between various
counties of the state and sent certifi-
Gates showing the final assessment
figures to the various counties. In
about twenty counties however 1t Is
possible that protests may be filed
with the board asking changes in the
equalized valuation as fixed by the
state board. Any sucn complaints will
be given hearing September IL
when changes may be made in few
cases If the board considers such ac-
ton justifable. On the following day
protests from pipe line companies to
the tentative assessments, as made
several weeks ago, will be heard.
The total assessed valuation Of real
and personal property by counties as
returned by the various county boards
was $17,0O0,00O below the returns of
1913. The state board raised the val
uations in low counties until 1t is
estimated that the total valuation of
property in the state will equal or ex-
coed that of last year. In about six
teen counties Of the state the valua-
tion OF land was increased while in a
number OF others almost all classes
of property was raised above the val
uations as returned TO the board. In
some OF the counties OF the state hav-
ing the most automobiles such prop
erty was raised.

NEW IDEA
Helped Wisconsin Couple.

Il doesn't pay to stick too closely
to old notions Of things. New ideas
often lead to better health, success
and happiness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea
new to them and stepped up several
rounds on the health ladder. The
husband writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless, nerv-
Gus, sallow, weak and irritable. My
wife and / both loved coffee and
thought it was a bracer." (Delusion.)
Finally, after years of suffering, we
read Of Postum and the harmfulness
of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
when we made 1t right we liked
1t and were free OF Ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the
change-fresher skin, sturdier nerves,
better temper, etc.
"These changes were not sudden,
but increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
MANY of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right. But when they made
Postum according to directions on
pkg, they liked 1t better than coffee
and were benefited by the change"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle

Making The Stat. Equalization.


The state board Of equalization has
been having difficulties in performing
its work because of the fact that four
of its members are candidates for nom.
nations in the primary. Treasurer
Dunlop, Attorney General West, Audi
tor MoClelland and Examiner Parkin-
son were all aspirants for office and
several Of them did not take kindly to
leaving the campaign for any reason.
Nevertheless the general equalization
or assessments has been accomplished,
thus permitting the counties to oOm-
plete their annual levies, which would
otherwise have been impossible, and
concerning which there had been con-
siderable apprehension.
The assessment of the general prop
erty Of the state is excepted to run
little in excess OF last years when
finally settled, which will not be until
the period for filing protests has pass
ed. This will be in September. It
runs in the neighborhood of 5000, 000,-
600. The valuation of the public serv-
ice corporations added to this will
make a total approximating one and
one-ifth billions, which is practically
a hundred million dollars in excess
of the last years valuation. Hope is
held out that the levy necessary will
not exceed two and one-half mills.
