AMT NATURE WONDERFUL?
The Collar Button.
The poor collar button, like the
mother-in-law, has always been used
as a goat by humorous writer's,
comedians and vaudeville actors to
cook up a joke on. But the collar
button has its good points and de-
serves serious attention. Here goes:
A collar button costs a jitney or
ten cents. The ten-cent one will
probably wear Is years longer than
the jitney one or so years all told.
If taken care of properly the collar
button will outwear the neck and
still have some to go before it takes
it second wind
Money put in on a collar button
is three times more than a safe in
vestment. Where viii you find any
thing that will come up to the collar
button for results, considering the
price?
Shoes cost now eight iron men.
Surprising they acted like the col
lar button. After you'd worn 'em
your lifetime and had went, your
great-great-grandson would ask his
nephew to wear 'em a while till they
were broke in" Get US?
For durability the egg is the only
thing we can think of that can al
most approach Mr.. Collar Button. So
if they raise the price of collar but
tons on account Of the war, etc., set
tight. You've no kick coming.

OIL CONCERNS ASK FARM
EDUCATION FOR employees
Encourage Lease Men to Plant Food
stuffs on All Available
Ground.

Many of the large oil companies in
Tulsa, who have extensive holdings in
the county have asked Delarne Baker,
the newly-appointed county farm
agent. to give many Of their employees
practical instruction in agriculture.
The companies have allowed their EN-
ployes living upon the leases to either
establish community or individual gar
dens. The companies have bought
seed for the planting and in some in
stances are furnishing teams and farm
implements.
1t is difficult TO give anything like
an accurate estimate of the amount of
new acreage that will be developed by
the project. However. 1t will run into
the hundreds, perhaps. Already one
community garden Of over ten acres
has been started.
Mr.. Baker says the companies have
told their employees and others who
live upon the leases that they are at
liberty to use for trucking all the land
they can cultivate.

BIG JULY FOURTH IN
PARKS DECIDED UPON
Municipal Board Employs a
Band and Will Get Noted
Speakers; Tennis Ruling.

At the meeting OF the city park
board last night contract was made
with the Prothero band for music aft
ernoon and evening July Fourth and
the park board definitely decided to
make the celebration this year an un-
usual one.
1t is planned to surpass all former
efforts and to invite all organizati tons
of the city into a combined ceiebra-
ton that will express publicly the
loyalty Of Tulsans to the principles
that made Fourth of July a day of
public observance in America. The
city commissioners will be asked to
help meet the expenses Of the day and
efforts will be made to bring to Tulsa
speaker of wide repute.
The park board decided to build
two more tennis courts at Owen and
Locust Grove parks, and also to estab-
lish n rule limiting players to Is min
utes for singles and thirty minutes
for doubles on a rotation basis. Every
one who wishes to play tennis will be
given an opportunity, an impossibility
under the present system which does
not prevent one set Of players from
keeping the courts hour after hour
