RIg Cotton Cron rrcdlctcd.

Special to The World.
BRISTOW, okla, Aug. G.-F S.
Ncstlerode, one of the old-time cotton
ginnors of this section, makes the
statement that this season reminds
him of the year 1904. He says that
that year the spring was late and that
the first of August most everybody
thought the cotton crop would be a
failure. on August l good rain
came and the cotton began to grow
and it was the fifth of october before
any cotton was brought i'm to gin.
From that time ON cotton camc' I'M
until as late as the first Of the next
April He predicts that what cotton
has been planted will produce more
cotton than did the last years crop.
The acreage has been cut so much
that there will not be nearly so much
but ne thinks the yield per acre Will
be heavier. He is getting his gin in
shape to handle a big crop but says
1t will be in late.

The task of conducting a modern
circus is largely a problem of labor"
one Of the Rngling brothers once
said while discussing the various diff
ficultios incidental to moving a show
the size Of the one soon to exhibit
here. "When the big show moves
from its winter quarters the Organiza-
tlon must have an army of trained
men to handle it. There is the prob
lem Of handling the 3.00O,0 900 people
who will attend the performances, If
the year is prosperous. There is the
problem of putting up the tents under
which these people sit, and there is
the problem Of feeding the / 500 men
and women who solve the other
problems
Because Of the nature of the work
the circus man is peculiarly dependent
upon labor. The big factory can shut
down or import laborers If there is
trouble, but what would the circus
manager do with big show on his
hands out on the road, and no one to
work for him? He could not hire a
lion tanner or caretaker for the ele-
phant at moments notice. He could
not even hire men to put up the tents,
for the problem Of getting the right
material from the right place demands
don't wait.
Efficiency Must BE Kept
"For these reasons the circus man
must maintain the best Of working re-
lations with his employees, looking
after both their physical and mental
welfare. The accommodations must
be the best or the efficiency Of the
force will decrease. The employer
who tries TO skimp in providing quar-
ters or food for the men will find in
n month that their power OF work has
decreased % per cent.
THE cost of maintaining the Ring
ling Brothers circus on the road is
$500 a day. A corps of so cooks,
walters and kitchen helpers provide
food for 1870. men.

Snecial to Tho World.

Special to The World.
MUSKOGEE, July 27.-A PROPOSE
ton that the city Of Muskogee go into
the municipal transportation business
in the form of iitney busses was made
in a resolution in council meeting
Tuesday by Commissioner Of Finance
John w. Boen and although action
was deferred Mayor Miller and Com
missioner Patterson, a majority of the
government expressed themselves in
favor of the proposal.
The new resolution provides that
the city purchase at once four 20
passenger jitney busses and operate
them over city streets at a five cent
fare with transfer privileges. The
measure also provided for Il tCity
garage at which the jitneys would be
housed as well as repaired. No other
work except that of the city would be
handled in this garage.
Commissioner BOen stated that in
his opinion the jitney had come to
drive the traction systems Of the ma
ton out of business and that II be-
hooved each city to find some manner
OF replenishing the revenue which the
traction companies pay in taxes.

DESTITUTE FAMILY
HASTILY RELIEVED
oil Field Worker and Wife Sick:
Children Also in Distress When
Found
Special to The World.

Special to Inc WOrlu.
DRUMRIGHT, July 27.-One of the
most pitiful cases of destitution ever
seen was discovered i'm the country
about two miles east of the city last
week by Rev. A. l.. Snyder and several
women who had been informed of
the poverty stricken family II was
the family of f. ID. Spry, a laborins
man who only recently came to the
field from Gushing.
Spry had been in the country for
only a short while. not long enough to
become acquainted with the people
who lived about him, when he was
seized with an attack of heart trouble
and confined to his bed. The wife
and six children were without money
or food and the little woman began an
effort to provide for the family by
taking in washing.
The 15-year-old daughter stuck a
rusty nail in her foot and was unable
to be of any assistance to her mother.
When the party found them the little
girl was in bed too, the flesh having
begun to fall from her foot about the
wound. There was hardly anything
in the house to eat and the children
did not have necessary clothing The
preacher and the Methodist women
undoubtedly arrived just in time,
for Mrs. Spry was so overcome with
exhaustion and worry that she was in
need of medical attention herself.
Abundance of food and clothing for
the imemdiate time was left with
them and a member of the party
selected to see that they did not suf-
fer any more until the sick ones had

to the effect that government super

that federal officers would do every
thing possible to fix the blame if there
was any let the blow fall where il
might.
Ballast Tank is Dry.
The harbOr master, Mr.. Weckler.
testified that he arrived at the East

steamer was due to start and saw that
the boat was listing TO port. He called
to Captain Petersen Of the Eastland
to trim the vessel, shouting to the
captain that he would not open the
clark street bridge until the boat was

Mr. Weckler said the captain tried
to right the ship but seemed unable TO
