In the absence of any effort on the
part of the city administration to
make Ardmore a flyless town, the
next best method is to enforce the
principle by public sentiment If the
grocery buyers will make purchases
only from such stores as protect veg
etables and open goods from flies,
every dealer will quickly respond to
this sentiment. and at least some
good will have been accomplished
and more advanced step will have
been taken toward sanitation.

SCHOOL LAND
7 RAN SF { rs
ARE FILED
PURCHASERS CAN SELL LAND TO
OTHERS UNDER NEW LAW -
CLAIMED THAT STATE WILL
PROFIT THEREBY.

Oklahoma City, May 16.-Trans
fers of school lands in the counties
of the Oklahoma Panhandle are being
filed in the office of the board OF
school land commissioners in large
numbers. These transfers are to sew
eral large cattlemen who have been
leasing the school lands, both before
the sales of last year and the pre-
ceding year, and since. The lands
are considered of value only for pas
ture. The laws have heretofore re-
stricted purchasers TO a maximum OF
two sections and forbidden transfer
of parcels purchased until payments
to the state had all been made. The
recent legislature changed this to
permit transfers subject to approval
by the school land commissioners.
When the sales were made of lands
in Cimarron, Beaver and Texas
counties the large pastures were
bought up in many instances by the
lessees of the area under powers of
attorney from friends and acquaint-
ances. The passage of the law in
question has made it possible for
the lessees to acquire the rights of
the purchasers by transfers of sale
certificates. If the law had not been
changed, it is assumed that the pur-
chases made in the names Of friends
been allowed to lapse so that leases
might be made again from the school
land office
1t is pointed out that the state
will profit by the sale and transfer
to the cattlemen in that the lease
figure was an average of SC an acre
a year. whereas the interest on pay
ments amount to PIC an acre a year
By the cattlemen acquiring title to
large bodies of this land the use
VI lut COuHllN ny llNt SlOCh luJtl
ests is assured, whereas if the titles
had to be reverted to the state for
payment the state would have
been compelled again to sell the
land and attempts at farming would
have broken up the big pastures
that are alleged to be good only for
pasture.
The filing of these transfers is
taken to be pretty good evidence that
the sales as made were more or less
tentative and that the object of pur-
chasing on powers of attorney was
to secure the lands as has been done.
One large stockman recently regis
tered in the land office transfers of
all the certificates which he secured
bidding with powers of attorney save
one. In that case the purchaser
named in the power of attorney is
dead.

UNITED STATES
COULD CRIPPLE
CE R NJ A N !
IN EVENT OF WAR, THE UNITED
STATES COULD APPROPRIATE
MANY GERMAN SHIPS, VALUED
AT oo,ooo,ooo.

New York, May 16.-That Uncle
Sam, in the event of war with the Kai-
ser. would find himself in position
to seize $100,000,000 worth of German
and Austrian steamers is shown at "a
glance at the list of vessels interned
in American ports.
These ships include the flower OF
Germany's transatlantic liners. the
floating hotels that year ago were
carrying the cream of the European
traffic. A dozen of them are first
class passenger liners, and all except
a few of those of Austrian register are
in comparatively good condition.
Many estimates place the value of
Austro-German ships lying in our ports
at well over $1OO,OOO,OOO, but conser-
yative steamship men consider the lat
ter figure approximately correct.
The finest of the interned vessels
are tied up in the port of New York
and at Boston.
Largest Ship in World Interned.
The Vaterland of the Hamburg
American line, the largest vessel in
the world, is lying at the Hamburg
American docks in Hoboken, having
made only two and a-half trips across
the Atlantic. She was on her second
visit to this country when the war in
terrupted her career. This giant of
the seas heads the list of marine war
prizes to which Uncle Sam might fall
heir She is $50 feet long, registers
10000 tons and is valued by her own
ers at $12,OOO,OO0
According to one of the crew, the
Vaterland has been burning fifty tons
of coal a day during the time she has
been interned, and is in fine condition,
Notwithstanding the long period of
ideness 1t has been estimated, the
Vaterland could carry 10000 troops. -
Besides the Vaterland, we have at
Boston the Kron Princessin Cecilie,
queen of the North German Lloyd
fleet. Among American tourists the
Cecilie was probably the most popular
German liner.
The Hamburg American Line has
thirteen vessels interned, one being at
Boston and twelve here. Next to the
Vaterland, the Amerika, at Boston, is
the most valuable, the rest of the fleet
being first and secondclass passenger
carriers and freighters Among the
freighters are some of the greatest
cargo-carrers in the world.
Six of North German Lloyd Interned
The North German Lloyd has six
liners in American ports, all but one of
them having been recently used as
frst-cass passenger ships. Tied up
at Hoboken piers with the Kaiser WI,
helm H.. are the following Lloyd ships,
Friedrich der Crosse, KONG Wilhelm
II, the Princess Irene and the Grosser
Kurfurst.
There are also four Austro-Ameri-
can Line vessels in this port, two of
them having been engaged in passen-
ger traffic between here and Triest
before hostilties began.
The total number of interned vessels
in the port of New York include four
Austrian and twenty-siX German
steamers and one German motor ship,
one German ship and one German
bark.
