OKLAHOMA CELEBRATES
 ITS BOTH BIRTHDAY

Oklahoma had it's beginning eighty years ago today, when Indian Terri tory was formed as a permanent home for the redskins. The Cherokees were. removed to the future prosperous state in 1885, and were soon followed by the Choctaws. Creeks, Chickasaws and Seninoles. These constituted the i've civilized tribes who laid the founda- ton for the prosperity of the Olxla- homa of the future, and many of their descendants have become wealthy and influential citizens. The territory was included in the Louisiana. purchase of 1908, but the Indians were the first per manent settlers. In addition to the five civilized triibes,s other Indians, including Sacs, Foxes, Comanches, Mo docs, Neg -Perces, and smaller tribes, were given lands in the territory. ~In 1S66 the Greeks ceded the western part of their territory, and the Seminoles all of theirs. to the United States. and these were incorporated with No Mans Land into the territory Of Oklahoma a quarter of a century ago. Indian Ter ritory maintained a separate govern ment under it's original form until 19O5
 when. 1t was incorporated with Okla
 homa and admitted as a state of the 1 Union.

HSUFFS' STORM
 WHITE HOUSE


 xvashington. June 30--The White House was again today to be the storm center of woman sufragists Headed by a brass band, garbed in gowns of white and carrying their yellow pennants bearing the iegend, ssvotes For women" more than 400 club women from various parts Of the country planned to march to the White House and urge President Wil- son to favor suffrage legislation at this session Of Congress. They were also to read to the president the res olution endorsing woman suffrage winch was adopted recently by the federation of women's clubs at Chi cago.
 Despite the fact that President Will son has twice told delegations of wo- men that. whatever might be his per sonaI views; he had made it a rule not to urge legislation upon Congress that had not been the subject of +or- ganic consid eration' by theA Demo cratic party, of which he considered himself the spokesman, the women were hopeful that their plea today would not be in vain.
 Mrs. Harvey w Wiley was to be the spokeswoman of the suffragists. She was to address the president first and then introduce Miss Rheta Childe Dorr and Mrs. ElIis Logan, president of the District Federation of Women's Clubs.
 A mass meeting was to be held be- fgore the march to the White House at which addresses were to be made by prominent suffrage leaders.

How TOn1AKE IhE l1OST OF YOURSELF E
 dW By ELKZARE7H LEE


 The inner two of the front sus- penders should be clasped a little to the inside of the leg, the other two directly in front of the knee, and those in back be made to follow a straight line to the stocking. If the inner elastics of the front suspenders are cut an inch longer than the outer ones, must of the discomfort often ex- perienced in walking will be elimin- ated.
 There is a proper way of putting on the corset and this has not only to do with it's appearance, but. also it's wear. I know a corsetiere who always in sists upon facing a customer into a new cerset herself early in the day, with the injunction that it must not be removed until going to bed.
 Her method is as follows: Corset strings very loose. Corset placed around the body and bottom hook closed first, working upward. Hand placed all around inside Of corset to distribute the flesh evenly Strings tied fairly trim at waist line. Then weaEer wrigg1es until, she feels com fortable Next she sits down to find if the corset is the right length also to allow the bust to fall into posi- ton. If the end of the corset bone strikes the seat it is too long. When the corset is cut very long in the back the bones there should be in sections, say a couple of inches long. This makes a flexible line, which will bend, of course.
 The fit being satisfactory, the Iacing is commenced at the bottom of the corset, upward to the waist line an9 then downward from the top of the same point. Finally the strings are pulled singly at the waist line, cross. ed in the back and brought around under the top hook and tied there The ends are tucked into the top of. the corset The Wearer sits again, and if she feels perfectly comfort able, then the corset is approved. These small matters appear very l trivial, but it should be borne in mind that complete success depends upon strict attention to details.
 Never neglect to sit down in a cot set before trying it, especially in Ethese days of extremely long corsets. back strikes the chair, either have the bone changed or try shorter corset.
 Then, sometimes the material left i free below the bones is entirely too tight for sitting comfortably, though | 1t may be all right standing. The style having an elastic gore set in at the lower edge of the corset will suit this type.
 I It is generally supposed, I know, | that any kind of a corset may be worn I by girls in their teens, but this am l told by experienced corSetieres, is a i great mistake. An expensive corset l is by no means necessary. but it is inn perative that the model chosen suits the figure.
 Mothers of growing girls should ltake care to see that the first corset they wear is the right one, for there are quite as many types of undeve1- oped figures as there are those fully grown.
 If it is impossible to visit a, corset iere, then the next best thing is to
 write to her, stating the needs in de-
 tail, and if she is a conscientious wo-
 man there need be no fear of the re- l suit

1918 A RECORD YEAR IN
 TIMBER REPRESENTATION

The most notable progress yet re- corded in the chemical treatment of timber to prevent decay was made in 1913, according to a report recently CTS association in cooperation with the forest service of the department of agriculture.
 The. report states that 93 wood-pre- serving plants in 1913 consumed over 1Os, 900, 900 gallons of Acreosote oil, 26s- 900 900 pounds of dry zinc chloride. and nearly 4.oO0,0 900 gallons of other plants treated over 15s ,0o. 900 cubic feet of timber, or about 22 per cent more than in 1912. The output from additional plants unrecorded would in crease the totals given. sfe
 Impregnation of wood with oils and chemicals to increase it's resistance to decay and insect attack. the report goes on, to say, is an industry which has become important in the United States only in recent years In Great Britain and most of the European countries practically every wood cross tie and telephone or telegraph pole. re- ceives preservative treatment In the United States less than 30 per cent of the 135, 100000 cross-ties annually consumed are treated, and the proper treatment of an annual consumption of 4, 900, 900 poles may be said to have scarcely commenced.
 Real progress in the United States dates from 1882. when the Kyanizing g process, using bichlorides of mercury, was developed. In 1887 two other pro- cesses were introduced. the Burnett process using zinc chloride, and the Bethel process using coal tar creosote. These last processes are very largely | in use today.
 The idea of timber preservation at | first made very slow growth in this l country. on account of the large sup ply of cheap and durable tinabers and | the general disregard shown toward | economy in the use natural re- sources In 1885 there were only three pressure plants in the United States and in 1895 only 15. Since then, how | ever, the industry has grown rapidly; l in 1913 there were TIT plants.

THE FITTING OF A CORSET.
Copyright. 1914. by the Mcclure
 N1s,,av,Av ssxrnd dirate !

(Copyrtght, 1914, by the Mcclure
 Newspaper syndicate)
 In the case of a full abdomen a cor set larger in the waist line than us-. ually worn should be bought. The flesh can then be raised and distrib- uted about the waist line and above 1t. to the great improvement of the figure.
 Many persons have an idea that by 1acing in at the waist line an inn. pression of s1enderness is given. Y ct never was there a greater mistake. Indeed, such a practice acts in the opposite direction, forcing the bust and hips into prominence and mak- ing the figure look stouter than it really is, and then again. tight Iacing at that point is actually injurious Women should, indeed, be grateful that the wasp waist has entirely dis appeared and nature is allowed to assert ieelf. No fashion was ever kinder to womankind than the vogue of the large waist.
 Lacing below the waist line is per fectly harmless, but there should al- ways be plenty of room over the dia- phram to allow of proper breathing. Once this part feels -comfortables the corset may be made as tight as one pleases over the hips without do- ing the least harm.
 For a full bust, the corset must a1- ways be cut low, regardless of the styles prevailing at the time. ust now the low bust is popular. A high-cut corset will make the wearer look stouter than she really is, while if she is short as well as stout she will look like a pe1ter pigeon pa rading.
 While the bust should be cut low there is no necessity for the gores running down to the actual waist hnei | e1<-1- To my thinking, this style makes the wearer look sloppy. When high busts are in fashion the stout woman should still wear a. Iow-cut corset and have fairly substantial bust support CTS attached to the top of the cor 1 set. This will hold the figure per | maneutly and give all the effect of a high corset without it's discomfort.
 The average figure can take care of itself. It is catered to in the ready to-wear corset, but the very thin wo- man often finds the question of suit able corset a trying one. Tn her case, the bones will probably give heI pain, while if the strings are left rather loose the corset will slip up and become very uncomfortable. Cor l setieres claim that the only thing to do, if style and comfort are the, aim is to draw the strings fairly tight and then call in the aid of fril1s and Ju- dicfous padding This applies only to the unusually thin person. Another plan is to wear the corset put on like drawers If these are strapped l tightly the corset will not ride up. Stocking suspenders play an i'm portant part in the set of the corset
 Three pairs are necessary. Two are sewed on each side of the front and on each side toward the back. The proper adjustment to the stockings il
 another detail, snr9-H, I know. but ev I identIy some women need to be to1t how to do, since one of them crossed the suspenders and then fastenee l them to the stockings Poor thing how uncomfortable she must hay,

HYDRAULIC CO.,, GIVES UP EFFORT
 TO OBTAIN LAND
tspecial to rhe Farmer.l

Bedding, June 30-The Bridgeport Hydraulic Go. has given notice. through Sanford Stoddard, it's attor ney, of the withdrawal of the pro- ceedings instituted for it's requirement by condemnation of land in Pleasant Valley owned by D. P. Sanford and his mother. To MT. Sanford and his counsel the notice was a great sur prise as hearings on the case have been in progress for several weeks and the committee was to have met yesterday to consider the making of it's award. In Informing Attorney Shaw of the water company S withdrawal the only explanation given by MT. Stod- dard was that the company thought it would cost too much to obtain the property by the process which it now a,bandons.
 This may mean any one of several things The only way the property can be had except through condemns tion is by purchase. The late Stephen Sanford wanted $2O. 1000 for it while the company indicated a disposition to give only about one-half that sum- In his testimony in the recent hearings E. P. Sanford placed the valuation at s24.ooO and presumably this was the amount for which he end his mother were willing to sell Consequently if the company feared the finding of what they deemed an excessive award by the committee they must have ap- prehended that the award would be more than $24.ooo. Possibly the com pany prefers to take it's chances be fore another committee and perhaps it is in less haste than appeared in bringing the matter to speedy con clusion. That 1t has altogether aban-
 doned the project seems improbable as the sanitary objects in view are an
 essential feature of the extensive de. advanced in the town of Fasfon.
 Possibly, however, the company has
 decided to secure the desired sanitary conditions by regulative measures which would not necessarily involve
 the ownership of the property in ques- ton. That they would ultimately ob- ] tain own ershtp not only of this prop
 erty but of other tracts in Pleasant I Valley and further down the river l After all this may have been a. Swrong l guess. Certainly the longer the com | oany delays acquisition of the terri | tory che greater the cost is, likely tc
 be A factor bearing on this phase o1 l the situation was testimony offered by
 Nr Sanford regarding offers he had as good as received for two tracts o1 i've acres each at $1O0 an acre, fol l building purposes. For other pur- poses the land would be considered I worth from $40 to $40 an acre. The l law says. however, that only actua, j sales shall be taken into account 1T l si1ch cases > Mr. Sanford will nov
 have an opportunity to make the saAes I iz, question so that if there are future 1 cond emnation proceedings his position | as to the value of the remaining lane l will be corresponding1y improved. Ths news of the suits withdrawal was vers
 acceptable to him.

CONGRESSMAN
 TAvENNER SEES GREAT PROSPERITY

GBv Congress c. H. Tavenner.)
 Washington, June So.-From all in dications this country is now on the verge of one. of the greatest periods of industrial prosperity ever exper- fenced Conditions now are exactly right for the boom to begin and with enormous crops this year, as are now indicated, economists believe that nothing can hold back the booming times.
 The fact that the activity has not all ready commenced is being attributed to one t11ing-the delay of the Inter state Commerce Commission in pass ing upon the request of the eastern railroads for a horizontal increase of five per cent in freight rates. All other conditions are such that great industrial expansion and activity ought to be in progress now. This activity is already being seen in certain lines, but there is a stagnation in other lines some of it due to the usual sea- sonal 1et-domn, that brings about a general average of du11ness.
 The power of railroads to check nrosperfty was never so plainly seen as at present Few people realize 4f,e vvfdespread ramifications of rail- E~oad business in American industry. sTaf th@~ railroads curtail their town deveiopment and the stagnat1on }eneedfIy reaches a hundred other in dustrtes. one pushing down the other like arrow of falling dominoes
 ThIztc1zrtaI1ment is. exactly what the raiIroads have done. either to create Inoercsv9. public opinion in their fa- sxor. or else to be ready to adjust themselves to the corning decision. EThe decision Is expected daily IL lr,l1Fra5rly will not be nearly what the railroads have aslxeds but it will end the period of indecisfon-
