There is general tendency on the
part Of the persons who regard Sand
Springs at all, 70 refer 70 il as a sub
urban part Of Tulsa. This, however.
is not the case Sand SPRING. is a
separate and independent city from
Tulsa and is the most enterprising
city Of It's size in the state.
Manufacturing is the chief occupa-
tion Of its inhabitants Negroes, too.
/ am glad % say, receive their pro
rata Of the factory work. Several
colored men hold responsible positions
and receive salaries upward Of a hun
dred dollars a month. The churches
here are adeuate, and the school facil-
tiles are equal to those afforded by
many larger cities.
Another remarkable feature about
this busy city is the fact that fully
sixty-five per cent Of the negroes liv-
ing here own the property in which
they reside.

MAYSVILLE men MEET
IN FRENCH VILLAGE
James Brown, the First Maysville
Man "0ver There" Meets His First
Home Town Man Few
Days Ago.

Mr. and Mrs. c. T. Brown, of Fifth
street, Saturday received another let
ter from their son James, who was in
the United States regular army when
war was declared by this country or
Germany and who was a member of
Pershing's Original Crusaders. James
has been in France for more than a
year and has just recently met his
first home town man. In his letter he
says:
June %, 1918.
Dear Mother and Father:
Just a few lines to let you know
that | am o. k Sorry if / have
caused you all any worry by not
writing, but we have been at the front
for some time and letter writing is
out of the custom there
The last letter | received from you
was May 9th and also heard from Sis
about the same time and was very
glad to hear that you were all well
and getting along fine. ! suppose our
mail is held up somewhere and when
it does come in | shall get a bunch
as | know you all write every week
as well as other friends of mine
Well dear ones l guess you have
read about the good work the A>ler-
leans are doing over here. My outfit
has been right in the heart of it and
sure did credit to itself That is about
all | can say and | suppose you will
understand that we have not been
here a year for nothing.
Dean ones | know you do not care
to hear about the war for | guess you
see enough of that in the papers but
] do not want you to worry about me
| because | am coming back to you.
| saw my first man from home a
/ few days ago-Young Farrow-I did
not know him but while walking down
/ the street of a village back of the
lines he stopped me and believe me il
was great feeling to talk to some
one from Maysville.
Well dear ones | must stop so as t.
have this censored. | hope this find!
you all well and may God bless you
and keep you all safe until return.
Your loving son,
JAMES.

TOBACCO CROP
IS IN SPLENDID
CONDITION NOW
Farmers In This Section Have All Of
the Work Up in Good Shape and
Tobacco Never Looked Bet
ter nj This Season.

During the past week the farmers
of Mason and adjoining counties have
made much progress in their tobacco
crop. 1t is reported that at this sea-
son of the year tobacco has never
looked better and every indication is
that this years crop will be above the
average in size unless something I'M
foreseen developes within the next
month
The most of the corn in this dis
trict is now laid by and last week
the farmers devoted the most of their
attention to blowing their tobacco and
topping and worming it.
There was some little threshing
done but the most of the grain in the
shock was entirely too wet and the
most of the threshers laid off for the
week.
Corn is looking good and the recent
rains have made many an extra ear
on the stalk. Farmers are feeling
good over the prospects for a splendid
corn crop in this district.
A sort of slack season will likeyl be
experienced on the farm this week
With the most of the corn laid by
threshing practically out of the way
and the tobacco crop in first-class
| condition tho farmnrc will have very
little TO do.

tail, and If II means anything it means
that the spirit of pure revolution mas
here gave even further than it has to-
the south. The people might have no
arms as yet, but they could speak
through great popular demonstra-
TONS. And, with Austrian soldiers on
all sides of them, evidently they have
been holding those demonstrations
and issued defiances with what seems
to be almost an absolute lack of fear.
Ten thousand met at Trbovlje in
in lower Carniola. other meetings,
equally large, took place at st. Rupert
and Zagreb (Agram.) Seven thousand
were called out by the Jugoslav Club
of Laibach, which Napoleon called the
gateway of Austria, We learn that ev-
| erywhere peasants and social demo-
Gratis fraternized. They were ad-
dressed by their labor and socialist
leaders, by their parish priests. and
by their Reichsrat deputies. They re-
ceived reports from delegates sent to
attend similar revolutionary meetings
in Bohemia, where Jugoslav battal-
ions are in military revolt
The tone of these gatherings is in
dictated sufficiently well by their
watch word, "Jugoslavia or death!
Throw off the foreign yoke!"
Some idea of the weakness of the
central government may be formed
from this: Having first prohibited
all such gatherings under the direct
penalties, we soon find it prohibiting
only the attendance of Russian, Ser
bian and Italian prisoners of war, as
also soldiers in uniform" There are
few balloons. even, but have con-
tanning fabric stronger than that En-
ough thought that, plainly, the inf1am-
mables are there, in quantities. In
the past and with reason we have dis
counted almost all stories of revolu-
ton in the Central Empires. There
seems little reason to discount then
any longer The only question is, be-
tween the inflammables and the match
is it still possible for Austria, or Ger
many. to find some means of blocking
the pipe half way?
In the meantime the match is be
ing carried rapidly, We learn of thu
number of Albanian refugees that 1t
ally has cared for, of the friendship o
Essad Pasha, the popular Albanian
leader, and of various Jugoslavic leg
ionaries that are now part of the 1t
: allan forces. When it is skill il
handling the technique of revolution
= that is called for, for hundred year
; no country has shown more. 1t l
, probably not for nothing that Alban
: ians and Serbians, Bosnians and Dial
: nations seem all TO be moving a

WHEN OTHERS
MUST WAIT

Long party line conversations hamper
telephone service by making others
sharing the line to wait-they must
wait - TO SEND CALLS - TO RE.
CEIVE CALLS.
Because others must wait, is a very
good reason why party line subscribe
ers should observe the five minute
limit for local calls.
Cooperation between subscribers
keep party lines open for both incom-
ing and outgoing service.
The telephone on party lines should
be used for reasonable and necessary
purposes.

Major Generals Put

"The Secretary Of War explained to
the committee how that was to opcr-

to be placed in the position of assist

purchasing bureaus. Colonel Pierce,
OF course. was outranked by the five
major generals who respectively com
mand tn the tive supply bureaus under
him: The Secretary OF War said they
could easily avoid that handicap by
making Colonel Pierce major gen
eral.
I'VE have been informed that Mr..
Stettinius has been appointed in some
capacity to assist in the coordination
OF the purchasing of the War Depart
ment. 1t is difficult to understand lust
where he comes in. Probably his au-
thority is advisory. Under the law and
under military, he cannot have any au-
monty u r. except advisory authority and

that he is the assistant of Colonel

discuss the organization as depicted on
those charts in such way as to make
1t reasonably plain.
IN the first place, the chart in the
centre, hanging highest, is the chart
showing the organization of the War
Department itself when we went into
the war and as it continued to be
organized during the summer and the
autumn.
THAT organization. you will sec. re-
suited In the supply bureaus of the
war department. headed, respectively,
by. the quartermaster general, the
chief of ordnance, the chief signal Of Of
ticer. the chief of engineers and the
chief OF coast artillery, reporting d.
rect to the Secretary Of War, and not
through the General Staff. 1t was pos
slble, therefore, for the five different
supply bureaus in the War Department
to report over the heads of the Chief
OF Staff and go direct to the Secretary
OF War and, if possible, persuade him
to do what each one, or any one, of
those individuals thought ought to be
done.
u congratulate, and the committee. I
think, congratulates, the Secretary of
War for having changed that organi-
zaton,. and endeavoring to organize
the inferior machinery Of the War De-
partment upon modern military lines.
-, The reorganization is depicted in
the chart which hangs to the right
near the door, which shows the War
departments bureaus divided into two
groups, one group the supply bureaus
ana the other group the administrative
bureaus, each reporting to it's chief
and those men reporting through the
Chief of Staff to the Secretary Of War.
Ihat is the organization of the War
Department. as it exists to-day.
You will see that five supply bu-

neers', signal corps, heavy artillery and
coast artillery, as remember it--re-
