ROOSEVELT AND

The next American administration

taken such Unionist Leaders as Lord
Landsdowne, Mr.. Balfour, and Mr..
Bonar Law into the innermost gov

kind is needed here. II 1t should
happen that Justice Hughes were
chosen at Chicago. his support would
not be strictly partisan.
Most Republicans and Progressives
and also many Democrats would vote
for him, chiefly by reason of their
convictions about pending issues.
Gn the other hand as the issues of
the campaign are finally shaped IL
is likely enough that some Republi-
cans and some Progressiyes will sup

The position of Colonel Roosevelt

A THEORY OF DISTRIBUTING
FARM PRODUCTS

The problem of distributing farm
products seems so big and unwieldy
as to be nearly hopeless. Some new
scheme is reported every few weeks.
Yet the farmers continue shipping
TO wholesalers in the same old way.
After the material pays three or four
profits and sets OF expenses, some
of II comes back right to the neigh
borhood where 1t started from.
The National Agriculture Society
formed the past week in New York
is the latest organized effort to meet
this situation. One of its principal
ends Is to promote cooperation and
better marketing methods among the
farmers.
Students OF rural economics have
long urged farmers to cooperate in
establishing supply depots and stor-
age warehouses, with refrigeration
where necessary. The theory has
been that then the local dealer would
buy the bulk of his supplies from
near home, saving no end Of trans
portation and expense. The theory
looks good Yet 1t is slow In being
adopted. Perhaps one reason is
that the farmers. progressive as they
may be nowadays, do not appreciate
the necessity for publicity.
II will be OF little use to assemble
n great stock of farm products in a
central warehouse, unless dealers
and consumers in that section are
made familiar day after day with the
stock and prices there offered. Tn
less they are told what they can get
there. the provision men would tend
to keep on buying In the same old
way and of the same old people, and
paying too many profits and costs
But IL such cooperative warehous'
es would use the newspapers to a
reasonable extent, they ought to be
able to sell enough cheaper to get
the business or a lot of It, No great
amount of space in any one newspa'
rer would be necessary. II 1t was
a regular feature. readers would look
for the announcement, and It would
rot need large type or display.

plicated task in New York City ho-
tells.
One woman in the Waldorf Aston
la hotel tried to walk off with set
of toilet articles in the Elizabethan
suite worth $500, and another wom-
an became d--literally--to a
chatting dish in the Aston hotel. Both
were recovered by house detectives
and returned to their natural abiding
places, while their whilom possess
ors shed tears OF modification.
At the Astor hotel waiter serv-
ed woman with an order which
came in chatting dish. Later he
found the chafing dish stand was
empty. He searched and finally told
house detective, who followed the
woman when she left the dining
room. She walked slowly and
thoughtfully, but she tinkled now and
then about the knees. So a woman
employee invited the diner into the
women's dressing room and discov-

beneath her skirts in the manner of
the Chinese legerdemain artists. It

GIRL STUDENTS

College girls were once thought OF

al appearance. They were suppos'
ed to be immersed in languages and
the ologies, and not to care for the
allurements of the shops. or late
there is some criticism of overdress'
ing by college and high school girls.
The economies department of Ohio
State University is one institution
that has takep up this matter, and
has arranged exhibits OF simple
clothes suited to girls of the class
room.
Several OF our newspaper exchang.
ga have recently remarked on the
growing use OF cosmetics by girl
students. one constantly sees in
the newspapers the report OF some
ycnturesome high school principal
who has dared to interfere in the
delicate matter of student apparel,
For a girl OF the student age to
resort much to elaborate dressing
or other artificial aids to beauty, Is
significant Of serious misunderstand'
ing, both OF life and of her own
Sits. A fresh young face and the
yivacious manner OF youth are OF
themselves enough to please and TO
charm.
These effects are far superior to
anything to be produced by manu-
featured accessories. When a girl
resorts to artificial aid, it is kind

stances, and she bought piece of

doubt getting an appetizing stew
The other was woman OF most lin.
tied means, and she called for one
pound Of 'rump,' which was 80 cents.
As the dealer would not cut off less
than two pounds, she paid her 10
cents and marched off triumphantly
with her choice dinner.
In the days when the market bas-
ket was more popular, people studied
more carefully the virtues of differ.
ent sections of the beef creetur' as
the old timers called 1t. One man
said he always tried to get a piece
off the round next the rump. He
could tell by the shape of the piece
when the meat cutter was not near
enough to the rump. He would go
out and come back later, and get a
choicer cut for the same money.
The saving made by cheaper cuts
is less than formerly. Too many
people are asking for them. The
United States cook book issued a
few years ago, giving suggestions
for using cheap cuts, was one Of the
most popular OF the government pub
locations.
Many people derided the idea OF
the government interfering in the
kitchens All the same, this little
book gave many people ideas about
dealing with the meat combine. II

In 1912 the company began the
manufacture Of overalls with twenty
five machines. Never Rip overalls
we're the initial product of this de.
partment. SO quickly did the de-
mand develop for these that plant
increase was made within q few
months, and since then there have
been several engagements as to the
machinery and the number of EN-.
ployees.
AS the field for work clothes wild
ened, the company began the manu-
facture of work pants and coats in
khaki, whipcord, cottonades and cor
duroy. Because these met with the
same favor as the overalls, the add
tion of work shirts was decided on
and the Maderite brand came into
existence.
This branch, too, has grown with
rapidity, and today this factory
makes shirts in sateens, chambrays
and flannels in many different styles
and colors.

than five years ago with a small

les. One sees in the faces of the
employees that look which indicates
pleasure in the work that is being
done. The factory employs about
$50 people. Its output of overa-s
and work pants per day is from 1900
to 1900 pairs, besides about $50
work shirts and a large number of
l.. d. s. garments and unionsuits.
The knitting factory Of the plant
was started in 1911 when the COM
pany installed the latest improved
knitting machinery, making only L..

was increased, and now the plant is
turning out ladies, mems and chill
dren's union suits in variety of
grades in addition to L. D. s. gar

MAKE A MILLION

Tulsa, Okla, May 6.-oklahoma's
greatest oil well is the title that has
been given the Gypsy Oil Company's
and Frank A. Gillespie's well in the
Jackson Barnett allotment in the
heart of the world famous Cushing
oil pool.
This well has produced more than
100000 barrels of the highest grade
oil in the southwest and has made
its owners nearly 100000 in sixty
days.
Two years ago the Gypsy & Giles
pie Co., drilled this now famous we'll
to the Bartlesville sand at a total
depth OF about $500 feet. 1t started
off in that sand at about 1900 bar
rels, but in few weeks had declin-
ed to the pumper class, as did most
of the Bartlesville sand wells.
OIL Begins to Flow
Sixty days ago the owners de.
cided to drill 1t deeper to the Tuck
err sand, which is supposed to lie
about 100 feet below the Bartlesville.
This was done, and at one foot in
the Tucker sand the oil began to
| flow over the derrick. This new flow
increased every. hour until all the
tanks were filled and the surplus was
running down the creek. Within AS
| hours n gauge was taken which
showed the well to be producing at
the rate OF 5000 barrels OF oil every
"a hours.
Three different pipe concerns laid
lines to the well, but even then
were unable to take care OF the oil
and much OF it was wasted. Oil men
who were familiar with the Tucker
sand, declared the well would not be
making barrel of oil, but only salt
water in a week This has been
the history of Tucker sand wells in
the north part of the field, but the
Gypsy Gillespie well was to be the
exception that proves the truth OF
such theories.
