upon the minds Of every Tulsan, as

easily discernible to all that the great
railroads or the west have realized
that in Tulsa there is to be a great
commercial center, as nowhere in this
country will they fand a city OF the
size OF Tulsa that has better or equal
railroad facilities than We have here.
In addition should none of these
things appeal to them they will find,
upon examination. that lying around
and contiguous to Tulsa are the most
fertile agricultural lands surrounding
any city of this union, thousands Of
acres Of which are still lying idle,
waiting for the tickling Of the plow
to exemplify the fact that Tulsa's ag-

the far-famed Nile, are only waiting

The big question then that we shall have to decide unequivocaly is, whether We shall stand pat on our present policy.
 The Germans right saying that if do we make this nation technicnally but morally, the ally Of Grea, Britain, France Russia and Italy
 On the other hand if We stop the sale of munitions. many statesmen say we shall thereby make the United States not only morally. but perhaps technically also, an ally of Germany
 Thus far We have favored neither side We have simply continued the policy customary to all nations including Germany herself in peace and war selling munitions to any foreign purchaser who will buy them and take them away. That the Allies have monopozed this advantage due solely the fact that they have won control of the through superiority It Is tle reward of their naval preparations and sacrifices just as Germanys present occupation Of Russian Poland and Of the great manufacturing sections of northern France may be said to be the result Of her military preparation and sacrifices.

WHY NOT FARM WomEN7

The state school at Ames has sched-
uled a meeting OF woman farmers and
farm managers during the winter short
course. 1t is said that Iowa has many
such and the effort will be to bring
them together with the idea that they
may form an association.
The plan to bring these women to-
sether is pleasing one and suggests
something more, why not short course
and meeting at Ames of farmers wives,
real farm woman's meeting all by
itself, "for women only" And why
wouldn't ali association OF farmers'
wives be a helpful and forceful organ

Of the farm. When she quits every

An Echo. of a.. spanish War.

An echo of the American Spanish
war Of 1898 comes from the Spanish
capital in tardy justice done to The
memory Of Admiral Cervera, who, with
out disparagement Of any OF the victors
in the naval battle at Santiago, may be
called hero of that fight. Following
the humiliating defeat Of Spanish arms
everywhere, the Spanish government.
in seeking to find a scapegoat for ap-
peasing popular wrath, fell upon Ad-
miral Cervera, who had sacrificed the
last Of the Spanish navy, at the mouth
Of Santiago bay.
Castillian pride IL among the stub
bornest things In human life. It seemed.
for considerable time. that Cervera,
the only Spaniard that short war had
produced who had done anything at all
worthy of SPANS splendid history and
traditions, was to be made the victim
of a blind insensate fury. But as time
wore on 1t percolated into the Spanish
mind that Cervera had done the one
thing rejecting any luster upon Span
ish arms. AS it dawned upon the con.
seriousness of the dons that he was not
to be charged with the making Of a
blunder; that he had deliberately led
out his ships into a line OF concen-
trated fire with no hope Of saving them
and only with the hope Of leaving the
Spanish flag to go down in honorable
