FIRST YEAR OF THE
WAR ON THE SEA

At the end of the first year
of war not a German fighting
craft, except submarines, is
known to be at large outside
the Baltic sea. The Austrian
warships are confined to the up
per Adriatic and the Turkish
fleet to the Sea of Marmora
and adjacent straits. The mer-
chant marine of the central
European powers has disap-
peared utterly from the ocean
highways. Sixty million dol
lars worth of German shipping
lies idle in the docks OF New
York, while several times as
much is bottled up elsewhere.
At the same time the German
submarines have inflicted enor-
nous losses of allied shipping.
While both sides have prob
ably concealed many losses,
the following is a fairly accu-
date summary Of the number
OF craft which have been de-
stroyed:

GREATEST POAD GATHERING
EVER HELD IN OKLAHOMA.

The second annual meeting Of the
Oklahoma Federation of Road Clubs
was held this week in Oklahoma City
and the third session will be held the
first Friday and Saturday following
in December OF this year, in the city
of Tulsa The second meeting was
said to have been the largest road
gathering ever held in the state This
meeting is evidence that the people
are becoming aroused to the necessity
OF road building and earnest workers
from every portion OF the state were
there to contribute their part toward
the work and to gather enthusiasm
to take back to their home people.
The committee on organization urg-
ed the people to organize county and
district road clubs prior to July /, so
that the tax levies can be agreed
upon before the meeting of the excise
boards in each of the counties. When
county officials ati public spirited
citizens manifest as much interest
in road work as they are manifesting
now. there will be work done, whether
there is any law or not and now
it is claimed that Oklahoma has the
most progressive road law in the
union and there is every reason TO
believe that great progress will be
made in this state within the next
few years
The committee on resolutions
touched a popular chord when it
pledged the federation to the elimi-
nation of politics from the proceed
ings.
Expressions of gratitude were ut.
tered for the work of Commissioner
Suggs and President Milburn of the
federation but the committee desired
to see personality eliminated. and a
platform broad enough for every man
in the state adopted That part of
the resolutions was greeted with ap-
plause

RECORDS NEW AUTO JOKE
Joe Mitchell Chapple Tells of One
Which Is Ascribed to Uncle
Joe Cannon.

Summertime brings with it a glow
OF peculiar types of humor. There is
always someone who is ready to tell
you the latest story about the Ford
automobile. These stories are pro-
duced about as rapidly as the Ford
automobiles, which recently reached
the astonishing record of one machine
every five seconds. There is danger
in telling the latest Ford story for fear
of that wearied expression on the face
Of the reader or hearer which signals
Il have heard it," 1t is said that
about a thousand new Ford stories
are received by the advertising de-
partment at Detroit every week. One
was soberly related by Uncle Joe
Cannon on his return to Washington
that will apply to any automobile or
Ford.
The man. said Uncle joe "ap-
peared at the door In a striking and
histrionic attitude and gravely an
nounced:
My lord, the motor waits with

guidly, Without what?' The reply
came quick and decisive: Without

Nature Fake.

The story Of the tomato plant graft
ed on to an eggplant and producing
splendid fruit, with purple skin,
deep red meat, few seeds and wonder
full flavor, survives and goes the
rounds.
This particular nature fake persists
because OF the lack Of horticultural or
botanical knowledge Even Burbank
himself could not produce new fruit
by grating Such fruits can only be
produced by pollenizing. Every school
boy who has studied botany or a
primer on farming, which always con-
tains instructions on grating, knows
that the scion or bud, grated on to the
root or stock, governs the kind of fruit
to be produced. Otherwise, every
graft might produce hybrid or freak
One may graft half dozen kinds OF
orange scions on one sour stock, and
each scion will invariably produce Its
own kind of orange, and not a CROSS
between the sour orange and that OF
the tree from which the scion was cut.
