earnestness. A score or more came
forward for the renewal of their
lives. There was deep feeling among
a large number who did not have the
courage of their convictions, to con
fess Christ. The work is deepening as
the last week draws to its close. "A

However. that has nothing to do with
the story. You have all enjoyed at
various times the vigorous character,
izations of that yirile actor, Joseph
Girard, so you know without being
told that when in this big drama he
decides to have Mary whether or no,
he is going to get her. He does.
He tells her to meet and marry him.
She refuses. So he calls at her home
with a license and a minister-and-
what could the poor girl do? Marry
him, of course, Innumerable strong
situations tell the story of how this
seeming mismating brought a great
and true and tender love to each.
Everyone will enjoy the beautiful sets
and the fine acting-and the ladies',
bless EN-, will be especially inter
ested in seeing Our Mary in forty
'leven new gowns, each designed 10

and gosh how she does wear 'em.

Huntress of Men" with Mary Fuller

THE TULSA MEETING

The editors OF Oklahoma are get.
ting back to their desks froA their
annual convention which was held
this year in the city of Tulsa. 1t
would be unfair indeed to the Tulsa
Press Club if we were to overlook
the matter of telling something of
the 1916 meeting The Tulsa Press
Club is made up of the newspaper
men of that city, and they alone,
without the aid of the Commercial
Club, entertained the editors of the
state.
The Tulsa hotels are crowded. The
Hotel Tulsa turns away people every
night when no convention is on and
it was impossible for that hostelry
to take very many of the visitors.
The Brady hotel was designated as
convention headquarters, but it was
quickly overrun and as conse-
quence the newspaper men had to be
scattered over the city, which de
stroyed some of the pleasure of the
meeting. However. that was due to
the busy city in which the meeting
was held, and was not due to any
act of the Tulsa Press Club. Every
courtesy that could be asked was eX-
tended There were many entertain
ments planned. and Sunday after the
meeting had adjourned, special
train was run to Oilton, Jennings
and Drumright. The stop at noon
was made at Drumright, and the peo.

THE LAND or PRETTY SOON"

! know of a land where the streets paved
With the things meant to achieves
II is walled with the money We meant to have saved
And the pleasures for which We grieve.
The kind words unspoken, the promises broken,
And many coveted boon
Are slowed away there, in that land somewhere,
The land of Pretty Soon
The road that leads to that mystic land
Is strewed with pitiful wrecks,
And the ships that have sailed for its shining strand
Bear skeletons their decks.
1t is farther at noon than it at dawn
And farther at night than at noon
Oh let us beware of that land down there
The land of pretty Soon"
How is 1t with you this question fraught
With all that concerns your success?
Are you laying aside giving daily thought
To conserve all the things you possess?
Are you spending your wages fast they come
In September December June?
Or will now swear you'll have share
In the land of pretty Soon?"

barbecue which was we'll served and

pieces of railway construction in the
state.
The Tulsa Press Club could do

been done in any other city in the

The convention hall in that city is a
wonder. Dallas and Kansas City have
no such buildings. While the Kansas
City hall may have a greater seating
capacity, it does not have the equip
ment that the Tulsa building has.
The convention of editors was held
on the stage of the convention ball,
and still there was enough room left
for another convention. The banquet
given in the hall Saturday night was
one of the big events of the state
The parquet floor of this hall is ad-
Unstable. One thousand people can
be comfortably seated on this floor
alone, and while operas are witnessed
the floor is inclined in the usual

Ouet there were speeches OF five min
utes brim-full of wit interspersed with
notable musical numbers, The tai
ent of the local newspaper fraternity
alone was used. There were musical
events and vocal solos that would
do credit to grand opera,-and that
assertion is not overdrawn.
Following the banquet an electrical
display was given on the stage,
which was one of the prettiest things
of the kind ever witnessed anywhere.
Tulsa is the liyest city in the state
and it has been going forward in
leaps. and bounds since oil began to
rise last August Some of the banks
are building larger, a 100000 addl-
ton is being built to Hotel Tulsa,

buildings are going up, and Mr.. Cos

The next convention will be held
in Shawnee, and that city will have
a hard task to follow Tulsa. But a
side trip will be taken to Medicine
Park, where the editors home has
been completed and under the leader
ship of Otis Weaver it is certain
that Shawnee will be able to give the
editors another great entertainment
next spring.
