And speaking of perfection in the
army, from 400 men we have but
three cases OF venereal disease, only
two men In the hospital, and no others
than those mentioned. No dysentery,

call a clean camp. Clean means hy-

that. There is not man In Company

One thing l forgot to mention, the

HOSPITAL FOR
CITY URGED
BY M. DIS
Move Approved at Luncheon
of Commercial Club-Pub-
lie Institution Desired.

One of the most important topics to
come up for discussion before the Com
mercial Club was brought before that
body at the Wednesday luncheon at the
Imperial hotel. The matter was plac-
ed before the club by the physicians of
the city, DR. G. S. Stockton and Dr.
G. W. Slusser being present, DIR. Rains
being prevented from attending by
reason of illness.
The need of hospital at this place
has been evident for long time, and
as the matter was discussed it was
found that what was desired most was
an institution of public nature; one
in which any physician would be at
home; with first-class equipment and
competent trained nurses on duty at
all times. The proposition met with
the approval of the club and the presi-
dent appointed committee consisting
of Mayor Fulton, w. w. Brown, M. r.
Hattabaugh, J. Frank Sims, and the
three physicians, Drs. G. s. Stockton,
Jesse L. Rains and c. w. Slusser, to
work out feasible plan on which to
present the matter to the people.
suitable building is in sight and If
this is not obtainable other arrange
ments will be made.
Jos. Pelikan, of Spokane, was a
guest of the club. Mr.. Pelikan in the
palmy days of the Buffalo Hump, was
well known operator in that camp
and still has considerable property in
that section which he is looking after
on his present trip. On being called
on by the president Mr.. Pelikan ad
dressed the club ON the matter of the
Buffalo Hump road and stated thai
with reasonable amount of labor the
road could be put in shape for traffic
and that would be diverted this way
by reason of the shorter distance ant
less expense and time involved IL
reaching the camp. He stated that wt

WORLD OWES DEBT TO THESE
Macadam, Pioneer Of Good Roads, and
His Contemporary, TeIford,
Worthy Of All Gratitude.

The first great improvement in high
way construction within modern times
was effected by John Loudon Macadam
or McAdam, who was born in Ayr,
Scotland, in 1856. This great Scotch
engineer was the inventor Of the road
making system known as "macadamiz-
ing" which is still in general use, al
though vastly improved. Macadam
died in 1886, at the age of eighty.
When he was born the turnpike roads
of England and Scotland were in an
incredibly bad state. Macadam and
his contemporary, Telford, were the
first to check the prevailing chaos and
to bring scientific methods and regu.
lar system to bear upon the building,
repair and maintenance of highways.
Macadam was engaged chiefly in the
repair of existing roads rather than
the construction of new ones, and the
improvements which he inaugurated
were Of great and lasting benefit, not
only to his native land, but to the
world at large. Telford insisted upon
foundation of broken stone in road
building, while Macadam insisted that
this was unnecessary and that the sub
soil would carry any weight If ade-
quately drained and kept dry by an
impervious covering.

We believe in the greatest freedom
for the youth; we believe in happy
environment that will create noble
characters; we believe the spirit of

that the encouragement of pool play
ing as an adjunct of the public schools,
it makes no difference how many
boards Of education, committees, pub

take. The idea that we must resort
to games to hold the boys to their

preston that our school methods are
wrong. and there can be no other JUS

A good deal OF money has been

Bees properly handled will in most
instances supply the owners family
with honey throughout the year.
Sugar is a sort of substitute for
honey. Sugar is not as easily assim-
ilated as honey. Children have a
natural appetite for sweets that
should be satiated. The same is true
of the majority of people. Honey
should not be allowed to go to waste
in the ungathered state when there
exists such a continuous demand for
sweets.
Examine each colony; If the bottom
board is Uttered with dead bees and
honey cappings, sweep it and make
it clean. If any webs, webworms or
moths are found in the hive, be very
careful to remove them. After a col
ony in the hive is found to be in good
shape, see to it that there are no OBJ
structions near the entrance that will
check workers as they come and go.
All hives of dead bees should be re-
moved from the bee yard. They
should be thoroughly cleaned and
stored away in dry room where
dust, mice and spiders cannot locate.
Frames having well-formed combs
should be saved. Frames containing
irregularly formed combs, drone cells
or work of the bee moth should be rem
dered and marketed as beeswax.
Nearly all bee supply dealers will pay
cash or trade comb foundation for Il.
AS soon as the cells near the top
bars of the frame have been filed
with honey and capped, it is time that
the supers should be placed on the
brood chambers. The workers viii

REVEAL TREND OF CURRENTS
Travel Of Bottles Dropped Into the
Ocean Convey Information TO the
Navy Departments.

The photographic bureau Of the
navy department is always interested
in endeavors to ascertain, by means
Of bottle messages, information as to
the movements Of the oceans. These
bottles contain papers that have been
dropped overheard from vessels in
many places, to drift at the mercy Of
the winds and waves. Many of them
have been found and picked up either
in the open sea or on shores where
they have been stranded.
Knowing from their records where
the bottles had been thrown over
board, the bureau has been able to
trace, in general way, the path they
must have followed in order to reach
the places where they were found.
In one report alone there were pub
lished the adventures of over one hun
dred bottles.
Being partially filed with air and
then securely corked, the bottles float
on the surface of the water and go
wherever the wind and the current Of
the sea carry them. Each bottle con-
tains a record of the place and the
date Of its starting. Some Of those
found have floated for many months,
and sometimes years, and have traV-
eled thousands Of miles.
It has been found that bottles
dropped overheard between the shores
of the United States and England or
France usually travel toward the
northeast, following the course of that
great river in the Atlantic ocean, the
gulf stream. Bottles started on the
coasts Of Spain and Africa travel, as
a rule, westward until they arrive
among the West India islands. Along
the European side of the ocean the
bottle takes a southerly course and
along the American side a northerly
course.

he finally decided to take a chance.

soil auger was used; for the smaller
ones and the stones, a pointed steel
bar and sledge. followed these men
loading the holes with the charges of
dynamite.
Only one of the young fruit trees
was injured by the blasting, because
they were small and the dynamite
broke the stumps up in small pieces,
which did not harm the little trees
even II they hit them. The same was
true of the niggerheads.
We discovered, while making the
holes under the stumps, that in many
places there was layer of hardpan,

ness, which was so hard we could
hardly drive the bar through it, and
rain did not seem to penetrate it at
all. 1t lay about eighteen inches be-
low the surface. In blasting the
stumps and powders, which were
thickly scattered through the orchard,
we also broke up this hardpan pretty
thoroughly.
After seeing this hardpan, the own
er decided it was the cause of the
poor growth Of his trees, so he had

continued at a loss because of the

That Made Them Paw.

A small tradesman once put up the
following sign in his shop: please
don't ask for credit, as refusal often
ofends." Finding that this had little
effect and that his credit book was at
tanning great proportions, he resolved
ON trying another plan, and immediate
ly fixed up another notice in place of
the former one: THE names and ad-
dresses of all those who buy goods at
this shop, and don't pay for them, can
be seen in the credit book on payment
Of fee of ten cents" The result was
miraculous. Not only did the curious
pay their ten cents by the dozen, but
those owing accounts speedily settled
them until the credit book was thing
of the past.

then have an opportunity to store sur.
plus honey. Otherwise, if they be-
come crowded, they will have ten
dency to swarm. The swarming
tendency should be averted as much
as possible. Swarming generally
means less surplus honey.
Supers having full-length frames in
stead of pound sections are preferable
for surplus honey in Oklahoma. If
the frames have previously been
stored with honey and properly cared
for, there will remain an inch strip of
honeycomb attached to the full
length Of the top bar. The bees will
complete a comb much quicker by
having starter Of this kind, and the
comb will be straighter than in q
frame where no starter is present.
In case the bees do swarm, the old
hives placed in storage as mentioned
will be all ready for hiving them.
Preparation for hiving bees should
always be made in advance. The use
of an old soap box or nail keg as a
hive for bees not only shows poor re-
spect for the bee and beekeeping in
general, but it also shows one of the
worst forms of poor management on
the part of the owner Honey OBJ
