HUNGRY ALL THE TIME.
In Other Ways, Too, the Earthworm Il
Curious Creature.

q Curious Creature.
Midnight is the ~favorite play hour for
earthworms. To catch q glimpse OF
them in the daytime you'll have to dig
in the earth, which is their home. or
watch for them after a heavy rain.
when they can be found on top Of the
ground. But 80 out any warm night
with a lantern, lie close to the ground
on q lawn or terrace, and you'll prob
ably see them in abundance.
Probably you've regarded the earth
worm merely as a good fish bait and
have never taken the trouble to learn
his habits. When he's prowling around
at night he's usually enjoying a feast
on decaying leaves, grasses or animal
matter. Before daylight he's back in
the ground, burrowing his way In
search Of more food. His ,alimentary
canal extends from one tip Of his body
to the other, so it's little wonder he's
always hungry.
He has neither ears o eyes. yet
he's sensitive to light. and he knows
when night comes just as other crea-
lures with eyes. Another interesting
fact is his method of laying eggs. He
grows a band around his body like a
belt, in which he deposits the eggs.
Then he gradually works his way
through this belt until he slips it OF,
when it closes up and forms a capsule
to protect the eggs until they are
Matched.
Vegetable growers sometimes regard
the earthworm as a nuisance. They
should be thankful, however. that
those of North America are not so large
as those In South Africa, where there
are earthworms four and five feet long
and as thick as q mans finger.-Phila-
delphia North American.

breaking average of one machine

be shattered soon. Hundreds of
new ears are being purchased and
they are becoming so numerous
that there is hardly room for
them.
Bank clearings are soaring
each week. Tulsa leads the
country in gains Of percentage
nearly every week.
The whole trend Of the city is
towards improvement and bigger
things.
While it has not been def
nitely threshed out, there is no
reason to doubt that the pro-
posed new Oklahoma 4 Inter-
state railroad will in time become
a reality, opening up a new and
fertile territory. Definite action
on the acceptance or rejection Of
the terms offered by the railroad
to the Chamber Of Commerce will
be taken some time this month.
A Convention City.
Tulsa is now entertaining her
third state convention within ten
days. Visitors have come to the
city by thousands and declared
they have never seen or heard
OF anything to equal the amazing
things they saw here. The word
is spreading. All eyes are on
Tulsa. There the horn of plenty
is forever without a plug in one
end and other capital is being
and will continue to be attracted.
The formation of the gigantic
Sinclair Oil corporation, coupled
with the announcement that an
other is about ready to be
launched, all augurs in favor of
the prosperity and the great
wealth of Tulsa.

gin shortly. The building will be
finished and ready for occupancy
some time in the fall"
Four of the new floors will be
occupied by the offices of the
Texas Oil company. When com
plete the building will be the
tallest in Tulsa.
s. Calais, owner of the mag
nificent new skyscraper at
Fourth and Boston, now nearing
completion, has announced his in
tentiOn of building even larger
and better structure at Fifth and
Boston, to be used for a theatcr
and hotel. This building is to
be at least ten stories in height
and will have a frontage of $50
feet. The approximate cost will
be 100000.
The hotel will contain more
than three hundred rooms,
equipped with every modern con-
venience, and the tfeater will
have a seating capacity of more
than a thousand. Mr.. Calais
states that the American hotel
and theater will be closely fol
lowed out in this great new
structure.
Finishers and decorators are
rapidly finishing the offices On
the various floors of the building
at Fourth and Boston and sew
eral attorneys have already To-
Gated in rooms on the second
floor.
Big improvements.
improvements costing upwards
OF $4,000 are now nearing com
lpletiOn at the Central National
bank building at Second and Bos-
ton. Three large vaults have been
placed in the basement of the
building and the banking room
and corridor have been thor
Oughly Overhauled and redeco-
rated. The interior of this well
known institution presents a very
pleasing sight.
The Culbertson building on
Fourth street is going up rapidly.
The framework for the new Ket-
chum five-story hotel at Fifth
and Main is nearly completed
and it will be only a matter of
few weeks before the new
building is completed.
Not alone in the building boom
are evidences of prosperity con-
fined. Real estate values are
higher than ever before and
there are more big deals being
made than the clerks in the reg
gister Of deeds office can ever
remember before. The list of real
estate transfers for each week is
growing at an astonishing rate.

1t is difficult to keep track OF
the many new buildings and sky
scrapers now in the course of
construction in Tulsa or being
planned. Building permits issued
bear out the statement that Tulsa
is enjoying the greatest pros
perity in her history.
Announcement was made yes
terday that the new home of the
Exchange National bank will be
9Ox9O feet instead of 65x65 feet
as was at first announced. This
magnificent new bank home will
soon be under course of cOnstruc-
ton at Third and Boston. While
it has not yet been definitely de-
cided, the plans now are to shoot
the building up nine stories.
The Exchange National has
long felt the need of larger quar-
ters and the new home will be
complete in every detail. The
plans are now being prepared by
a Chicago firm of architects. 1t
had been planned to have the
new home ready for occupancy
by August, but it was said yes

Simultaneous with the an
nouncement that the, bank build
ing is to be much larger than
first planned, Simon Jankowski,
owner of the Palace building, has
stated his intention to add five
or six stories to the great struc-
ture at Fourth and Main.
