BABES IN THE STUDIO
BY Harmony Weller.

Newspaper syndicate.)
The two baby faces were turned
expectantly toward Leona. They
held all the appeal Of fragrant, bud
ding flowers, and to the woman who
looked at them with gravely serious
eyes they seemed to represent that
which she had longed for with her
whole heart.
They were tiny victims OF the
great storms and knew neither par
ents nor home. The matron from
the orphanage had brought them to
Leona, thinking that perhaps the
lonely woman who spent her days IN
her Photographic studio might take
them under her guidance.

give them proper carer"

AID THE STORM SUFFERERS


The storm which struck the north
part OF town Friday night didn't NOV
any any wide swath but it made prae-
tically clean sweep Of several homes.
Those people lost everything and they
should be given substantial assistance.
Some steps toward relief have been
taken but we should not be content
with donating a few dollars.
In some cases there may be hesi-
fancy about contributing to charity
because OF doubt as to whether il IS
deserved. but there can be no doubt
in such an instance as this. Through
no fault OF their own those people are
in distress and we ought to be prompt
and liberal in our response.
We should be very grateful that the
storm did no more damage and we
who were fortunate can show our graf
itude in no better way than by aiding
those who lost all.

WON OUT AT LAST

BY n. M. EceERr.


u see the late James Minton has
left all his millions to his English SON
in-Iaw, Lord Wedgewater, remarked
the cynic at the club. That's a nice
little windfall, isn't It? Enough to
Bweeten the match, l should say"
Yes" said the old lawyer dryly.
Il happened to know Minton pretty
intimately you know"
Wasn't there some story about
Miss Minton having been married be-
fore?'
There was" answered the old law
yer. Moreover, MIR. Minton instruct
ed me to tell all the circumstances
whenever that old story was revived.
You know, she married a chauffeur."
We'll, let us hear it," the cynic an
swered.
The old lawyer fiicked the ash of
his cigar.
you remember when James Minton
moved to New York from the west
with about seventy millions and
bought that big house on the avenue?"
he asked. Yes, that was some nine
years ago. His wife was that west
ern type that we all know; very kind
hearted, very 'temperamental,' very
anxious to push herself and her only
daughter, Miss Elizabeth into society.
They had about FIVE automobiles and
an imported chauffeur, an Englishman
named Jones, who claimed to have
been a university man. f
Jones used to drive Miss Eliza
beth when she went shopping Jones
was only sort of human animal in
the parents eyes. He was fine
looking young fellow, with a sort OF
aristocratic manner about him. But a
chauffeur was not likely to endanger
Miss Elizabeth's happiness. Nobody
thought it strange that Miss Elizabeth
developed an unaccountable love for
driving in the park, along the avenue
and into the country for hours to-
gether.
THAT was where Mrs Minton made
her mistake. You know human ma
ture is pretty much the same every
where. and when two young people

from school, found society distinctly

leads some girls TO enter upon mission

others to do dangerous things.
"One morning they went out quiet
ly, without the car, and we're married
over in Jersey City. The chauffeur
took his wife back to a little apart
ment which he had furnished and
rang up Minton. He gave him his ad-
dress and calmly told him what had
occurred Ten minutes later Minton
and his wife arrived post haste, to
find their daughter and sonin-law

SCHOOLS TEST FARMERS SEED,

If Oklahoma has bumper crops this
year it will be due in considerable
measure to the direct aid rendered the
farmers by the schools. Throughout
the state the teachers and pupils have
been systematically testing seeds for
the planters in their respective com
nunities, according to information re-
ccived at the United States bureau OF
education. Every teacher In the state
has received from State Supt Wilson
a scoring sheet on which to record the
tests. Seed from last years crop is
rcrorted to be partie aiarly unreliable,
and agricultural experts say there is
special need this year for some sucn
direct service as the schools have Of
tered.
mo movement has been started in
our state which can result in as much
good with so little cost to the people
generally" declared Mr.. Wilson. II
viii not only be financial benefit to
the farmer by teaching him to plant
none but good seed, but it is of dis
tinct educational value to the chill
\ lren. II furnishes one OF the best les
sons that can be taught in botany or
agriculture, and affords the opportun-
ity to come in closer contact with
every farmer in the community a
thing which all good teachers are
anxious to do
''If the tests are properly made and
the information followed by the farm
ers, the results should be remarkable,
The lessons taught can be applied
year after year and constantly improv-
ed upon, until the time will come
in Oklahoma, as it should come, when
no seeds of any kind whatsoever will

tested If the schools, through their
teachers and pupils, can bring this

the greatest missions for which they
are supported by public funds-that of
making bread-winning easier
