automobiles returned for taxation ~

and ln 1915 % 5Z.7is. This year
there are az least 10000 machines b.
Oklahoma, he says. This BE- one car
for every - persons IN the state
and one for every mile Of public niga-
way. II all the automobiles IN Okla
homa were strung out mile apart the
line would reach four times arounr
the globe. There Is more money in
vested tn automobiles and garages
than is invested In banks. The total
value Of the horses and mules in the
state In 1916 was 800. 100000. The
value of the automobiles now is slight,
! ~ less than that amount. The 1917
T crop Of automobiles In this state
viii be worth twice as much as the
average crop OF wheat and is one
half the value Of all the live stock in
Oklahoma. There are more automo-
: hiles In Oklahoma to the population

Isn't there some kind Tulsan on

Tulsa boys who are serving their
country? They are scattered all over
the world in all branches OF the ser
vice. One young fellow who enlisted
In the navy Is held In quarantine al
Boston along with fifteen or twenty
other Oklahoma boys. They would
like to get hold OF Tulsa newspapers,
even tho they may be old ones There
are many similar cases A perman-
ent fund TO send newspapers to Tulsa 8
soldiers and sailors, wherever the,
may be. would be a splendid thing.
Who will start II?
Two hundred thousand home and
vacant lot gardens are now under
cultivation In Chicago. as the result
of remarkable campaign conducted
by the garden bureau. Eight thou
sand acres were plowed. 81 team
plowing every day and "a tractors
blowing day and night. One hundred
twenty thousand people called at tine
bureau to arrange for gardens. Sixty
nine thousand five hundred attended
garden meetings. Twenty-Five thou
sand purchased seed at wholesale
prices at the bureau. Each garden
cost the bureau 20 cents and II each
plot grows 500 worth OF foodstuffs
the total value will be S2,600,0 600, q
profit over the expense to the bureau

ord, all right but not much better
than what Is being accomplished thru
