GALE Of the Fourth and Boston
~ corner OF the present high school
site to j. $. Cosden was given final
authorization yesterday morning In a
deoision handed down by the supreme
court at Oklahoma city,
The suit was filed early in the sum
mer by Mr.. Cosden merely to test tho
prerogative OF the board of education
In tho transaction. The right to sell
was disputed because the property vas
many years ago dedicated to the city
schools of Tulsa by the Presbyterian
school OF Missions, with the express
provision that 1t be used for school
purposes only
The contract for the proI Ierty al
ready has been signed and 1t is prob
able that the money -- S5O,OOO beins
tho fun purchase prica-will be turned
over to the board of education this
week.
Pight TO sell this corner also indi-
Gates that the board Of education may
dispose OF other parts or all of the
property. This may mean that the
new city hall. fer which bonds al
ready have been voted, will no stu
ated on the northeast corner of tho
block, or the corner at Fourth ana
Cincinnati
The city is known to have been
angling for the property for some
time, but negotiations wero postponed
until TIE board of education ostab-
lished It's right to sell the block. This
Is conveyed in the supreme court de-
cision given Yesterday.
The only definite action between the
city and the board of education was
that taken some time ago by the
school board, which vested the power
In its president and secretary to take
the matter up with the city commits
sion. This probably will be done In
the near future.
To Erect Building.

facing on Fourth and Boston streets.
The price fixed sometime ago was
$50. 900 cash. Mr.. Cosden announced
when he bid on the site that his in
tention was 10 erect an office building
ON the spot.
The money received from the sale
OF the corner to Mr.. Cosden will Ue
used by the board of education to pay
for the heating and ventilation con-
tracts on the new high school build
ing. These contracts amount TO al
most sixty thousand dollars and can
not be covered by the original appro-
pr!ation made for the high school
building.
Ir tho other corner is sold to the
city II IS thought that the proceeds will
be used to erect an athletic stadium
and scnool building near the old South
Main street ball park. The board has
a site two blocks square Just across
the Midland Valley tracks from the
ball PARK.

THE HAPPY FARMER.
(By Henry Marion Stanley

(By Henry Marion Stanley
The author of these lines is boy
seventeen years old He writes: Il
am being dominated by a holy ambi-
ton to contribute something to the
literature of America. Golfers
Weekly.
The farmer is a happy man,
His life is free from care
With naught to make his spirit sad
Or want to make him swear
All day among the cockleburs
He gayly grubs and hoes,
And money never troubles him
Unless It's what he owes.
How sweet at early dawn of day
To rise before the sun
And hustle briskly round the barn
Till all the chores are done;
To feed the cows and milk them too
In brightly shining pals
While they tread upon your corns
And thump you with their tails.
How sweet to HE into the fields
From breakfast smoking hot,
And chase a pillow all day around
A forty-acre lot
And when it strikes against stone,
Drawn by horses stout,
How sweet to have the handles prancC
round
And punch your daylights out
How sweet to lie at noon in ease
Beneath some spreading tree
And hold a secret session
With an ardent humblebee.
And when your rheumatism makes
Your legs refuse to go,
How sweet to lie upon your back
And watch your mortgage grow.
And when the busy cares of day
Have faded with the light,
How sweet to lie in peaceful sleep
Throughout the starry night,
To hear the partner of your cares,
At first faint tinge of dawn,
Shout. Come, old granger huml
yourself,
The COWS are in the corn"

MOUNTAIN VIEW CLUB.

The members of the Mountain View
club held their second meeting at the
home of Mrs. Robert Booth on the
afternoon of February "a. 1t proved
to be a very enjoyable meeting. At
ter an hour of social chit-chat over
their fancy work, they devoted like
period to discussing plans for the
completion of their constitution and
bylaws. About four o'clock a few
kodak pictures were taken of those
present, which we are all hoping will
do the subjects justice Dainty re-
freshments, consisting of pressed
chicken sandwiches. hot cocoa and
cake were then served by the hostess,
assisted by her sisters, Mrs. Norman
Allsberry and Mrs Minerly. The mem
bers departed for their homes thank
ing Mrs. Booth for a pleasant after
noon and wishing her happy and
successful life in her new home, TO
which she will go this coming week.

ply Tuesday was very fair considering
the larger receipts than ordinary the
past few weeks that were in evidence
Monday. In all there were about a
thousand head for buyers to select
from. About two-thirds OF them were
Idaho hogs-only one load coming
from the valley. Quality was in most
cases very good. One load was ex-
ceptionally good and sold at $50.
Pigs are receiving a pretty heavy cut
and commission men are justly advis-
ing that this class of stuff be kept at
home and finished out The chances
are that these pigs when finished
would just about strike right before
the new crop of hogs, if kept in good
condition at home.
The spread has increased on poor
pigs to as much at $125 under fin
ished hogs
few less hogs were received We'd

mostly from valley points.

Metals and the Future.

Our ancestors did not live, work and
prosper In an Industrial age. They
were an agrarian people. living from
the earth, producing only little more
than they consumed Metals were to
them as jewels are to us y Roman
soldier retained his sword through life
and transmitted it for use to his de-
scendants. The factory system, in
which the labor element is fraction
in productivity compared with what
capital produces through machinery, is
less than 100 years old: The United
States consumes today about sixteen
pounds of copper per capita per an
mum. while In the entire continent of
Asia the consumption of copper Is only
fraction of pound per capita. This
is because Asia is not an industrial
country. 1t is in the position that the
whole world was In q thousand years
ago, and If Asia grows industriaIly
the demand for copper and other met
ais will be snch as to tax even the
present resources Of the world.-Wil-
