PANORAMIC
PICTURE Of
STATE HOME
STONE OF OKLAHOMA CITY CON-
MlssiONsD BY BOARD OF TRUS-
TEES TO MAKE A PANORAMIC
VIEW OF HOME.

This morning "That Man Stone, 3"
of Oklahoma City made a panoramic
picture of the Confederate Home
and its inmates for the board of trus-
tees.
The old soldiers were lined up in
their uniforms and the old ladies were
seated in chairs upon the porches
when the picture was being made.
Frrett Dunlap and G. H. Bruce of this
city, members of the board of trus-
tees, Mayor Mullen, and other citi-
zens, went to the home TO see the
picture made. The inmates seemed de-
lighted and all were looking their
best.
The grounds at the home are being
beautified by planting more trees and
the flower gardens are being prepared
for the bulbs. A new driveway has
been laid out and the old entrance
will be closed save as a walkway for
pedestrians. A grove OF locust, maple
and other trees is being set out just
south of the new annex, and when in
full leaf will be a cool, shady place.
in which the inmates may spend the
hot afternoons of the summer.
t. health of the inmates is re
markably good at present, notwith-
standing the epidemic Of grippe that
is prevalent throughout this section,
and Superintendent Harris seems TO
be giving the very best of satisfaction
as the head of the institution.

WOOD PULP is GETTING SCARCE

Print paper has advanced 30c q

weeks, according to L. F. Leach, of
the Kansas City Paper House, who is
here today calling on the Ardmore pa

ces are expected. A meeting of manu-
facturers will be held next week in
New York City for the purposs CT
making investigations into the sit

England gets three-fourths Of its
wood pulp from Sweden, and the
chances are that all this supply viii
be placed in the hands of the Ger
mans, because that nation cannot Oh
tain cotton. If that is done, England
will come to Canada for its wood
pulp, and three-fourths of this coun-
try's supply will be taken from Us.
At the New York meeting, represent
atives from South America are to be
on hand for the purpose of Offering
wood pulp from that country. lC wood

Mr.. Leach states that in OklarCUa
his business is good, collections are
good, and the men of the newspaper
and printing professions seem TO ne

United States insofar as it relates to
that case, but asked Bernstorff for as

out its policy of sinking merchant
ships without warning to liners, even
if they carry defensive armament.
The question of what constitutes de-
fensve armament is to be determined
later in way not yet agreed upon.

States may propose that guns mounted
on the stern of the ship and capable
of being swung from fifteen to thirty
degrees in either direction might come
