The work Of raising s25O,OOO to car
ry on the Y. NJ. C. A. work in for
eign lands among American soldiers
that are in prisons ana otherwise
will begin in Chickasha next Tuesday
The part to be raised by Grady coun-
ty will be something like three thous-
and dollars.
The work in this county will be
under the supervision Of Senator
Thomas j. O'Neill who will have men
working In each town in the county
G w. Austin, president Of the Okla
homa College for Women. viii have
charge u the work in this city.
Working with Mr.. Austin in this city
win be c. slaughterbeck, F. NJ. Bal
ley and George H. Evans. A meeting
Of this committee will be held Mon
day at 1890 in the office of Good &
Co, at which time plans will be made
for conducting the campaign. Rela-
tive to the meeting Monday at noon
Mr.. Austin said that any one who was
willing to spend thirty minutes is
requested to be present at this meet
ing.
There are six counties in this dis
trict the other counties being Garvin,
Caddo jefferson. Stephens and Nc
Lain. The counties composing this
district are supposed to raise total
of $4,000 This is the minimum
amount and it is the belief of those
in charge of the campaign that twice
this amount can be raised
The campaign will be carried out
along the same lines as the Liberty
loan campaign and it is hoped that
none will refuse to give their share.
The share allotted to Oklahoma is
rather small in proportion to that Of
other states and the apportioned
share Of this district is rather light
compared to others in the state, as
the quota of one county in the north
eastern part of the state has been
placed at $4,000 If every one will
give their share it will mean only
ten cents for every person whereas
the per capita for the nation is thirty
cents.
This is a real test Of the patriot
ism Of the people inasmuch as it is
the first time since the beginning of
the war that people have been asked
to give and not merely invest" said
Mr. Austin in regard to the work that
is to be carried out. He pointed out
that while the people had subscribed
freely to the Liberty bonds they were
making an investment and were not
offering a sacrifice on the nations
alter.
The women will be asked to give in
this campaign as freely as the men
and some of them have already done
so
Mr. Austin in speaking Of what the
girls at the college had done in this
regard said 81 am not going to be
satisfied if the people Of this city do
not give more in this campaign than
the girls of the college have given
The girls Of the college have given
$1,000 already and those in charge OF
the campaign expect to riase at least
three thousand dollars among the
people here during this campaign

COST OF BOARDING
n" HIRED HlLp


It costs s12s a year to board a
hired hand, according to estimates
furnished to the Department Of
Agriculture by 1000 farmers rep
resenting widely separated sections
in ii States. The averages derived
from these estimates are embodied
in Department Bulletin 410, recently
published, entitled "Value to Farm
Families Of Food, Fuel, and Use Of
House"
It was found that the total an
nual cost per person of board for
hired help varied from $104 in YER
mont and Pennsylvania to $162 in
New Jersey, and that the percent
age of this cost paid out in cash
varied from 10 per cent. in North
Carolina to 40 per cent. in Califor-
Tia. This percentage is about one
third in the eastern section studied,
about one-fourth in the corn-belt
States, and still less in the South
ern States.
The total of hired help boarded
varies considerably with variations
in farming conditions. For example,
among the families visited in New
Jersey, hired help averaged O.6 of
a person per family, in Maine o.,
in North Dakota, IL, and in Cali
fornia 0.3. In other words, in New
Jersey the average family boarded
one man for z months, in Maine
one man for 5 months, in North Da-
kota one man for 13 months, and in
California one man for 4 months.

be removed with very little trouble.
Capt. John Plunkett (who is us)
owns the ground right over the
fence, and he has agreed to let it
be put there, if the citizens will act
at once.
Farmer Al Williams, one of our
important citizens, is at present en-
joying a good deal of fame on ac-
count of the success he has met
with in conducting his farm on a
condensed scale. AT the beginning
Of last spring he took this notion
and put the idea into immediate
use by drawing in the fences on
his farm, making it only one third
the original size. He then put in,
to rasiing just a few large things
instead Of so many small ones.
For instance, instead of growing a
big pile of small potatoes, he decid-
ed to plant only one potato and be-
stow upon it the same amount of
attention and hard work. As a re-
suit he has potato that is so
large it has raised one corner of his
house, fifty yards away.
The large amount of quinine
Judge Hinton has been taking has
caused such a roaring in his ears
that makes him fear that storm
is approaching. He has fastened
up all his young chickens and will
remain in his cistern, which he
uses for a storm cellar, until it is
over.

The bee is pointed out as paragon
of patient industry. Few people, how
ever, realize the infinitude of energy
that must be put forth by swarm of
bees in order to store their hive with
honey. How much do you suppose it
takes to make, for example, pound of
clover honey? The scientists calculate
that it requires the nectar from no
fewer than $4,000 clover blossoms. To
extract this nectar requires 2,75O.Oo0
visits by bees who often have to 60 for

And yet how else can the honey Of life
be stored?-Biblicsl Recorder.

TO reach the south shore with the
ments, one may well travel south by
carriage or motor from the western
rail terminus at Sevastopol. The road
leads up the Baidar valley into the
western heights Of Yaila range and
comes out on the heights above the
shore through the Baidar gate, pas
sageway ut an elevation of 1880 feet
which was blasted through the solid
limestone Of the mountain in 1913.
Scenery Is Beautiful.
From the opening of the Baidar
Gate the characteristic beauty and
magnificence of the views from the
mountains down across the shore strip
and out over the Black sea meet the
visitor in striking fashion.
The higher slopes of the mountains
are thickly covered with forests or
oak, beech, elm, pine, frs and other
cone-bearing trees. Tatar villages,
mosques, inconsistencies, the palaces OF
many Russian mobiles, picturesque
ruins Of Greek and medieval fOrtresses
and other buildings are set on the
steep slopes, in the underground OF
hazel and other nuts, groves OF bays,
Of Expresses, mulberries, figs, olives,
and pomcgranates, with great vine
yards, tobacco plantations, and gay
gardens. The vineyards of the shore
strip, covering nearly twenty thousand
acres, have high reputation, and the
"grape cure" Is one of the institutions
Of the Crimean summer resorts. Fruit
Of all kinds Is abundant.
Small wonder that the enthusiastic
Russian considers his Crimea one Of
the lOveliest and most desirable places
| in the world!
TO all this natural beauty are added
the advantages Of what is practically
an island climate. In some winters
the tops of the mountains are snow
covered, but snow and ice are rare on
the south slope. The passage from
the continental climate to the island
type is shown by setting together the
temperatures ut MelitOpol, on the
mainland a little to the north Of the
Perekop isthmus which is the neck
Of the Crimca those at Simferopol in
middle Crimea, and Of Yalta, fore
most Of the coast resorts. At Mellto-
pol, the annual mean temperature Is
48 degrees; at Simferopol, which Is
just within the lower range of noun
tains, it Is so degrees; while at Yalta
it is 56.5 degrees.
