A FISH FRY FOR
STATE EDITORS
AROMORE MAKING BIG PLANS
FOR NEWSPAPER MEN AT AN
NUAL MEETING IN MAY.

A fish fry is to be the main feature OF
the entertainment of newspaper men
of the state when they meet in an
nual convention in Ardmore in May
Wherever the editors are entertained
each city tries to furnish some fea-
ture that will be new, and when the
newspaper men of Ardmore met with
the Commercial club recently to for
mulate the plans for taking care of
the several hundred visiting pencil
pushers,' it was decided that an old
time fish-fry would meet the require
ments and also that it would appeal
directly and strongly to the visitors
appetites.
The scene of the fish fry will be
on the banks of the Chickasaw lake,
near Ardmore, the seat of a country
club. The lake is one of the largest
bodies of water in Oklahoma, ana
number of years ago it was well

that Oklahoma at the presens time
constitutes the biggest oil field on
earth 1t is believed that the metro
politan newspaper men would enjoy
seeing the oil game in all its details
and it is going to be up to them,
in the near future, to take adyan-
tage of the opportunity, 1t is the
general opinion that a NUMBER Of
them will accept.
An interesting feature of the visit
to the oil field will he the fact that
the biggest operator in the field is a
newspaper man, Editor Roy Johnson
Of the Ardmore Statesman, the nrst|
man TO have We'll drilled in the
Wilson Healdtou field and the only
newspaper man known to jump from
struggling country editor to a
millionaire within the space of six
months. Johnson has been mem
Der of the state press association for
six years, the length Of his residence
in Oklahoma, and this year he is
planning to be host to a number of
the boys and to assist in the enter
tainment of all of them. Johnson
listened to an old Iioneer who told
him that there was oil in the field,
now called Healdton, and he went
about assembling big acreage of
leases while other men refused to
believe. Johnson then traded half
of his leases to we'll driller, VINO
contracted to put down a test hole,
and this first well became a fifty
barrel producer. Johnson's daily in
come has been ON the increase ever
since
Many Women in Organization.
There are between seventy five
and one hundred women members Of
the state press association, and gen.
orally there are about two hundred
women who attend the press con
ventions. The women are represent
ed on the officers list of the asso-
citation by Mrs. Frank b. Lucas Of
Oklahoma City, who is one of the.
vice presidents. She met with the.
Ardmore committee, during the past
week, to assist in formulating plans
for the entertainment of the EDITORS,
and it was at her suggestion that
the committee in charge of arrange
ments decided that no meeting be
held for the men only during the
Ardmore convention as Mrs. Lucas
declared that all the women WhoI
come will want to attend all the
meetings that the men attend. She
added that the women have always |
resented the men only meetings that
have been held in other cities during
editorial conventions.
Present indications are that there
will be a pretty fight to determine
what city will entertain the press
boys in 1915, Notwithstanding the
fact that Guthrie is claiming the
honor thus far in advance The cit
liens of Saltwater the seat of the
state A. & NJ. College, have joined
hands with Guthrie 70 win the 1915
meet, and in return Guthrie guaran-
tees that the newspaper men will go
to Saltwater for one day to visit the
college and other points of interest.

Mussels and Economy.

1 rom the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
An eastern professor suggests mussels
as a means to reduce the high cost of
living Wherever the temperate sea
washes a coast there are musseIs, mil
lions of them. They are edible Then why
not eat them? Hitherto they have not
been eaten because they are not palatable
Their relatives, the oyster, the Scallop
and the clam are table delicacies. But
the happy mussels arc not tasty or tender.
and they have escaped the ravaScS of
the amphihian pot hunters. If mussels
are altogether desirable, why not per
simmons? They. also. are cheap and
plentiful. and might supply a fruit course
for the economy dinner. Acorns, too, are
not despicabe In time of famine they
have been highly priced They are easily
ground and made into cakes-rather bit
ter to be sure, but much cheaper than
wheaton bread Horse meat is already
sold extensively in Europe. with the adj
vance of automobile popularity in the
United States horses might be specially
raised for food. And then it is a small
step to cats.
The lazy Bahama native has no high
cost-of-living problem. He sleeps 30 per
cent of the time. When lie IS hungry
he walks ont into the jungle and picks

UMP|RES SHOULD Be
MADE TRAIN IN SPRING
Donie Bush Is Sore Because He Gets
Poor Decisions in Pre-
liminaries.

CINCINNATI. April 1O-Bis league um-
pires should be forced to go through a
campaign in the spring in order to get
into shape, just the same as ball players
are This is the belief. emphatically ex-
stop.
The umpiring we have been getting
on this spring trip is awful said Bush
recently. 1T doesn't differ any from that
that we have got on every trip at this
piring is always bad.
THE kind of umpirine that We have
been getting is very bad for ball play
ers, especially the rev men breaking
into the big league game. II gets every
body hitting at bad balls and failing to
use good Judgment on the bases. They
have no confidence in the umpiring and
would rather take a chance of hitting
bad ball than being made TO look fool
ish by harinS the umpire cal il a strike
i don't see any reason AT all why the
u7'2ircs snoildn't be sent south Just as
the his league cluos start their trips
hose. II takes them only two OF three
eek come home. and it wouldn't be
1a;dsnlp upon the umpires TO ma kc
them give this time to the game.
Everybody knows that umpire can't {
see balls and strikes right or get the
close decisions of game when he first
starts in the spring. Fe must have sew
eral days in which to get his e.es back
into shape. Some of the unpires realize
this and they do some work voluntarily
before they report.
THE American League, National
League. Southern League and American
Association could work together fine in
this wa. Each Of them has eight or
more umpires They could ass gn .ne
10 each team in their leagues. That
would give the games played with the
Southern League and American Associa-
ton by the big league clubs the double
umpire system.
There might be some objection raised
to the effect that if Billy Evans for in
stance. We're assigned to the Detroit
come too friendly with the players,
that is closely guarded
against. There is some ground for this
objection, perhaps. but any number of
ways to get around it. For one thing,
the National League might send its UNI
pres with American League clubs and
the american send it's umpires with Ma
tional League clubs. Or the umpires
might be shifted after every series or SO.
a plan of this sort would be of BEN
eft to everybody concerned. It would
assure good umpiring when the league
season began because the officials would
pitching and base running for several
weeks and it would give the players on
the trip much more satisfaction and CON
hdence. No man can be at his best
when he lacks confidence in the UNI
pires
