STATE REPORT
ON WHEAT CROP
IN ALL THE WESTERN PORTION
OF THE STATE PLANT LOOKS
FINE, BUT is TEN DAYS LATE
FROZEN IN NORTHEAST.

K. d. McManus, who is with the
state board of agriculture and VINO IS
also engaged in the wheat raising
business, is spending several days in
the southern portion Of the state. MT
McManus has recently visited the
wheat belts Of the state and has made
close observations Of the growing
wheat crop. lie states that in north
eastern Oklahoma, in Adair, Ottawa,
Mayes, Craig and Rogers counties
the wheat has been seriously injured
bv successive freezes and thaws'
He states that this is the first time
he has observed that a succession
of freezes and thaws would kill wheat
but il has done so this year in that
portion of the state. Much of the
acreage will be planted to oats and
TO corn. and the wheat acreage Will
be small. If the original planting had
all matured, the acreage would nave
been smaller than year ago, due
TO the bad weather at sowing time
In the western, northwestern and
southwestern portions of the state
the crop is excellent, with the eN-
ception that it is about ten days late.
The crop in these sections of the
state will be as good or better than
il was last year, if favorable weather
prevails from now on.

 HAVE A STEWARD
old Position Will be Restored by

The members of the executive com mittee of the hospital board Of the soldiers home have decided that it is necessary to have a steward at the institution.

 The commission will hold <an exam ination of candidates who have applied to be placed on the eligible list. The date of the examination has not been fixed. Colonel Robbins, superintend ent of the home, has informed Secre- tary Wright of the commission that the position of steward carried with it salary of $75 a month and board, and that if the services of the incum- bent of the position warranted it, the compensation would be increased to $10O a month
 It is barely possible that the posi- ton of steward may be exemputed from the operation of the civil ser vice law. Indeed, the first steps have been taken to have it exempted. There are already one or two subordinate positions at the shome exempted. Gov

 The claimant stated that before go- ing to New London he had signfded his intention of so doing, and that his uncle had talked the matter over with Mr. Fox. a foreman at the Massasoit Manufacturing conpany's mill and he had understood that it would be all right for him to go to New London, where some relatives resided with whom he desired to board while he was incapaeitated, and that he could secure the services of physician in New London if he so wished.

New London Man Addressed Civil
 Service EmpIoyes' Convention.

Frederick Williams, delegate from New London to the convention of the National Association of Civil Service Employees at Washington, D. C.. last week made the following remarks on civil service retirement:
 'It gives me great pleasure to be present at this convention today as the representative of the civil service employees of New London, Conn, or ganized as Branch 238 of this asso- citation. While I do not expect to be able to throw any new light on the subject of civil service retirement, l wish to say that the civil service eTn- ployes whom it is my privilege to rep resent are solidly and sincerely in fla Vor of this measure.
 Tt would be no more than proper to expect the United States govern ment to take the first step, to be a pioneer in establishing the policy of providing for the retirement of it's servants to show the way to private enterprise But such is not the case. Private enterprise has adopted this system in many cases, and our em- ployer, the United States government, is the unprogressive one; although ii is only fair to say that the chiefs of bureaus, the men who are in posi- ton to know, have in many cases gone on record in favor of this step.

EXPECT 100000 VISITORS
 AT SHRINE SESSION
Millions in Money Will be Expended
 by the Mystic shriners.

The work of getting ready for the annual session of the imperial coun- cil of nobles of the Mystic Shrine in Buffalo has progressed to a stage where officers of Ismailia temple of that city, which is to act as host, are assured that not only will the gath- ering be one of great magnitude, but also it's stated events will be moved with smoothness and precision. George K Staples, general chairman of the convention committee, pre- diets upwards of .100, 900 visitors. Most of these will be nobles and their wives and families. coming from the 139 temples of this coun- try, Canada and Mexico.
 The patrols with their bands will make a creditab1e army, nearly 5000 uniformed men and almost as many bandsmen. The sums that will be spent by visiting delegations on their special train equipment travelling expenses and other outlays,= will run into the millions. Buffalo will disburse a $100,000 entertain ment fund. One San Francisco tenn pie is spending s75,00O on a special train journey. The Chicago temple steamer on the Great lakes for the trip to Buffalo, quarters while there and the return trip. The boat and supplies is to cost it $40,000. Other temples from various parts of North America have equally elaborate plans for the 1916 pilgrimage.
 Many patrols will take mascots with them. One from the desert region of the southwest will have a flock of camels. That from Fl Paso, Tex, will bring 100 burros. If Shrin- CTS from Fl Paso can be prevailed upon to do so they will ride the burros in the big parade of the ses- sion, in which, it is estimated, any where from 10000 to 50.000 Shrin- pie has secured a buffalo from one of the few remaining herds, which happens to be owned in that locality. It will be presented to the Buffalo zoo, when the convention is over. Representative from the Shrine temple at Honolulu will have some animal typical of the Hawaiian be one suitable for the ceremonial sessions of Isrnailia temple of Buffalo, and will be donated to it, but that it isn't a goat.

a belt, tied laTiat about my waist,
