is just cute, that's all. But just let mo tell you about my acting and sisters.
 You know. when we arrived in Chics- go the Essanay people gave us dance after dance at the Del Prado hotel and trips to the theatre and finally it was an- nounced that the scenario, The River of Romance. was ready. All of us girls were given a small part and sister Elizabeth was made leading lady and her leading man was John Lorenz, a handsome man who kissed so nicely
 "Ahm," throatily from tho reporter.
 Plenty of Romance
 oh blushed Miss Ruth. he didn't kiss me. He kissed sister in the play. And that scenario must have been writ ten by an old maid. as 1t was full of kiss ing and loving. Oh that leading man didn't have a job that weell--he had d po- sition. We'll anyhow, the picture was iin- ished and l saw it in Chicago. 1t was very good and sister is grand little ac- tress, but then she admits that herself"
 "Is sister sti,l in Chicago?"
 "Yes, sirree, she's there yet, with Miss Perkins, and they intend to elevate the standard of art in moving picture acting If they ever get chance. But there's the rub-wl they get this chance? Al least I sincerely hope so"
 And you?" said the Erinning scrvener "are you satisfied with Birmingham after a glimpse al the Efeut Npflu ptS piiu~tHo city of cabarets and tlngling, throbbing moving life?"
 Satisfied is quite inadequate to cx- press it." replied Miss Ruth. T am quite satisfied. thank you, to stay With the folks at home. Chicago or any big city is sweet candy to a young girl. but too much candy is bad and it's me for the home eoverlet every time. My aspira- lions to elevate art in any form begins with the cook book and instructions from mamma on how to keep house Shoo-hv to n career. laddie. I'm n good girl, am"

STATE CONVICTS
TO MAKE TWINE

Oklahoma City, May 7.-The appro-
priation Of the fifth legislature of fifty
thousand dollars for the installment
Of a twine factory at the state peni
tentiary in McAlester, is step to-
ward making the great state prison not
only self-sustaining but putting it III
class that will enable it to ibe the
maker of product which will find
ready sale in the state. at the same
time competing with no industry ex-
istent either in Oklahoma or in any
surrounding commonwealth. The les
islative provision viii enable Warden
Dick to provide profitable employment
for long term prisoners, IaDling them
to be of service to the state, and at the
same time making them able. in event
of commutation or expiration OF sen
tence, to be Of service to themselves
or those dependent on them. Addi
tional to that, the manufacture o.
twine by the state Is Of great import
ance to the small grain producing pop
ulation OF the state. The price to the
consumer win necessarily be less than
at present, as has been demonstrated
by the establishment in the state
prison at Lansing, Kan, which has
enabled the Kansas wheat grower to
secure his twine as cheap or cheaper
than his neighbors in the surrounding
states, and he has always been able to
rely on contracts made in the early
season, and not compelled to await
until his grain was ripe before know
ing whether he could get the twine
and what the cost would be. In the
present instance, Oklahomans must
await the harvest and the price is left
an open subject, the big twine corpor-
ations always managing not to be hold
ing the short end of the string in the
busy grain cutting season.
AS third consideration, the manu-
facture of twine in the prison will re-
duce the taxation for maintenance, II
not AXE the institution self-sustain-
ing 1t will add to the producing wealth
Of the state from source in the hith-
erto compensation for the expended
thousands
The wisdom of the fifth legislature
in this act has brought forth much
commendation from those sections Of
The state which expect to receive ben
eft in the way Of convenience and
money and no discredit from any other
section.
