SEWER BONDS ARE
To Be REPRINTED
Mayor Pro TEN O. ID.
Hunts Signature Invali-
dates, Is Contention.

Attorneys for Piersol Bros. Okla
homa City. who recently purchased
the 100000 sewer bond issue from
the city. have advised the firm not
to take over the bonds as they have
been offered for the reason that
Mayor 0. D. Hunt has signed the de-
livery while the issue was first signed
by former Mayor Frank NJ. Wooden.
II is thought that the entire Issue will
have to be reprinted and resigned be-
fore the attorneys will recommend
their purchase.
The bonds were issued August and
bear interest at per cent. The in
terest has been piling up at the rate
Of about SIS day and the work for
which they were intended to pay has
been held up for a considerable time.
1t is probable that this new phase
will not be Strengthened out until
Mayor-elect Simmons and the new
city commissioners take Office.
1t Is understood the bonds have
been refused for the reason that the
purchasers have been advised not to
accept them unless the same officer
who signed them authorized their de.
livery by affixing his name.
While 1t Is not thought the holding
up Of the bonds will result in any
more than the expense Of having to
have another isue printed and signed.
the expense will probably amount to
several hundred dollars.

BULLETINS TELL OF
SCHOOL CONFERENCE
Camp Tahlequah Will BE
Favorite Spot for School
Students Soon.

Handsome bulletins have been pre-
pared by G. II. Fenstermacher, who
has charge OF Camp Tahlequah for the
summer. telling OF the various activi-
ties to be staged in that locality this
summer. A copy has been sent to
every school in Oklahoma.
They are splendidly illustrated-in
fact the illustrations are the biggest
part of them, beautiful scenes of camp
life of former years being portrayed.
They will later be sent to all boy
scouts and other juvenile Organiza-
tionS.
Tho circulars feature the annual
older high school boys conference,
which Is to be held this year at Camp
I'ahlequa for the first time. Hereto
fore II has been held as a regular con-
vention i'm some city and II is thought
that the new scheme Will double the
attendance.
The conference will open the camp
ing season ut Lake Tahlcquah. being
from June o to 10. Following this
will be the camp for younger high
school boys from June 10 to 20. Older
grade school boys will be included in
this camp.
The campfire girls camp for older
high school girls will be held July
to 10 and the big boy scout camp
will be July IL to 23. The last two
events will be working boys camp
from July "a to 81 and the family
camp from August to 81.
This completes the summer sched-
ule for Camp Tahlequah. which is
maintained by the Y. NJ. c. A. of Ok
lahoma. Within six miles of Table,
quah, on high bluff overlooking the
Illinois river, they have secured a
fifty-acre plot, heavily wooded, with
open spaces for athletic and baseball
grounds An excellent spring of pure
water is on the camp site. Pools for
fishing swimming and boating arc
available at the base of the bluff on
which the camp is located. The
natural beauty of the site makes 1t
an ideal spot for boys who desire u
period of real recreation.

Of the rush but other commodities are
keeping pace with this industry. The
passenger business also is unparal-

agrees with the rest of the holy out

even the most straight-laced do not

Americans Great Match Users.

Every man. woman and child In

matches each day" remarked j. A.

of the United States turn out every
day moro than 1.700,0O0,0O0 matches
or this output 1.O0O.0OO,000 are con-
sumed In this country. Our people
have come TO be very extravagant in
the use of matches. A decade ago
pipe smoker might keep his pipe 60

pipe lighter: today be wouldn't think

also has increased the consumption

stoves, which are continually turned

There has been an increased manu-.

DISEASE ON THE DECREASE
Association for the Study and Proven
ton Of tuberculosis Has Good
Reason to Be Proud.

While the latest report of the bu-
reau of census shows that in 1914
tuberculosis caused over iN.5 per cent
of all deaths in the registration area
of the United States. the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis points out in a state
ment that the death-rate from this
disease is steadily decreasing, having
declined from 200.7 per 100000 popula-
ton in 1904 to 1858 in 1914. This
would indicate, the association claims
that the antituberculosis movement or
ganized in the last ten years is hav-
ing a marked effect on the mortality
of tuberculosis, especially since the
death rate from this disease seems to
be declining more rapidly than the
general death rate from all causes.
Commenting on this decrease in the
rate from tuberculosis. the bureau of
the census says: "As a result of
more general understanding % the
laws of health, the importance of fresh
air, ETC.. due in part, no doubt, to the
efforts of the various societies for the
prevention of tuberculosis, there has
been a most marked and gratifying
