Baking Powder

Both the wonderful machinery and
the hundreds of employees that make
Calumet are always "spick and span"
housed in the largest, most sani-
tary Baking Powder factory in the
world.
The surest test of Calumet purity,
dependability, wholesomeness and
uniformity is really in the baking.
Millions of careful housewives, Do
mestic Science experts, hotels, res
taurants and other institutions have
made the famous Calumet Bakeday
Test. Now these same millions use
Calumet exclusively.
Calumet contains only such ingredients
as have been approved officially by U. S.
Food Authorities.

The Split lnfinitive

One of the controversies which will probably
never be settled is that over the split infintve"
the enforcement of ito" rest of the verb of
which it is part Some writers hold that the
lnfnitive should never be split and for many years
the New York Sum- which gave rather more atten-
ton TO style than any other newspaper in the coun-
try had rigid rule maintaining integrity of the
infnitive.
We happen have heard how the rule
originated but suppose it proposed by writer's
or grammarians who regarded the ito" as a part of
the verb and not a separate word the infinitive
in other languages consisting of a single word the
mood being indicated by infection. That the split
ting of the nfnitive is painful to some is because
they regard it as violation of the rule
upon an order to which they have become accus-
toned from their school days. But for the rule.
there would be no inelegance in the mere act of
severing the infinitive
Many of the foremost writers of English during
the last two hundred years have not hesitated to
split the nfnitive, though by very large majority
OF recognized authorities the rule is observed
If the splitting of the infinitive is an offense
Colonel Roosevelt is a conspicuous offender and
apparently wilful one, for commits the offense
at times when the preserved infinitve would be
better The Sun years ago denounced this
atrocity of the colonel and listed among many
reasons for its disapproval of him.
We believe, in Difference to custom that the
infinitive should not be split when that act can be
avoided; that by an observance of the rule should
recognize the infnitive as a single word and
so-called proposition and verb. That seems much
more graceful. But it has within the exper-
fence of all writer's that and then the rule is
observed at the expense of naturaIness, grace and
clarity, three things that always should be sought
above all others. rule that nterferes with them
should be set aside without hesitation.

CROM an army quartermastcr's de
pot in the heart OF the Indian
country, Oklahoma City has grown
in twenty-clght years to the queen city
of the southwest Oklahoma City is
the capital OF wealthy state, the com
mercial social and educational center
OF the mid-region between north and
south cas-, and west--clean mentally
morally and physically and as lively as
5000 healthy, happy citizens can make
her
The building Of the city began on the
afternoon of April u, 1889 AT noon
on that day federal authorities gave
way before the surgir& thousands VINO
had massed along the borders of the
new country TO be opened to settlement
by the whites. The Santa Fe railroad
was the only one through the country
then. A special train loaded with men
and their equipment for the building of
. city was the, first contingent to reach
the city's site. That night campfircs
blazed before a thousand tcnths and
board shacks.
Through the days Of the Oklahoma
Territory Of statehood with the old In
dian Territory the city grew with the
state, always as the chief city. Begin
ming about 1906 the population and
business leaped ahead and Oklahoma
City is now the Golden City of the
southwest
Business of Oklahoma City is as
varied as the resources OF the state.
n is a wholesale and jobbing certsr. a
manufacturing center, it does an export
and import business, being a port Of
entry and its retail trade territory is
extended by unusually good transpor-
tation facilities for a radius of 100
miles.
The Essentials Of Greatness.
Fair freight rates, cheap coal from
the eastern part OF the state and an
unlimited market within the state and
TO the southwest have been the factors
in advancing manufacturing Fuel gas
Is brought in from fields a hundred
miles away and new fields have been
found to the southwest and north,
Water is available from the North Ca
madam river along which a $l,2S0,OOO
water supply reservoir is being con-
structed. Electric power rates COM
pare favorably with the big centers of
the middle west
Five lines of trunk railroads. and
three interurban lines radiate from the
city, tapping the wheat region on the
northwest, the oil fields of the north
east and east, the coal areas of the east
the cotton and lumber OF the southeast
and the cotton, wheat and livestock of
the southwest The railways, steam and
electric also bring Norman, the seat of
the state university; Fl Reno, a rail
road center; Edmond, seat of the Cen
tral State normal; Guthrie, center OF
. rich farming region, and Shawnee,
railroad center and school city within
Suburban distance" OF Oklahoma City.
