HICKORY NUTS ON GRAPEVINE
Missouri Farmer Produces Wonder of
Vegetable Life That Would As
tonish Luther Burbank.

Kennett, Mo.-According to W. T..
Romine, recorder of deeds of Dunklin
county, Luther Burbank has been out
done on the farm of F. M. Mcneil,
where wild grapevine, growing
around a hickory tree, has produced
hickory nuts in the place of grapes
for two consecutive seasons.
The vine was also seen by ]. P.
Nations and A. w. Winters, who ac-
companied Recorder Romine on a
search for peaches. 1t is not claimed
that the hickory nuts grow in clusters
the same as grapes, but many people
in the neighborhood will testify to the
authenticity of the story, as 1t seems
to be one of the peculiarlties of nature
caused by the crossing" of the vine
and tree.

for the convenience of buyers, but the
public prefers to call them by the
names of the furs they resemble.
A smart new suit of duvetyn, shown
in the picture above, is trimmed with
furfelt that looks like sealslxin. The
coat model is one of the most success
full that the season has presented, with
close-ftting body and a basque that
falls in ripples at the sides. Rows of
narrow silk braid appear on the basque
and on the sleeves. In passing, it may
be noted that this form of decoration
has made triumph this season, APP

braid on the sleeves terminate in large
bone buttons. The coat buttons up

SUE FOR INDIAN Oil LANDS
Property Worth 800 Million Dollars Is
Sought by United States Dis
trict Attorney.

Oklahoma City.-Suit will be filed In
the United States district court on be-
half of the Indian owners by John A.
Fain, United States district attorney.
for fifteen sections of Indian oil lands
extending south to the old bank of the
Red river, said to be valued at 300
million dollars. and involving some of
the richest oil lands in the country.
The move was decided at conference
IN Washington at which Attorney Cen
eral Palmer, Mr.. Fain and Texas rep
resentative were present.
The suit involves the determination
of the old river bed which was the
Texas-Oklahoma border. There are
thirty-two Indian properties on the
land, extending for sixteen miles, Fain
says. 1t is opposite the best field in
the Burkburnett field.

The point that is mainly interesting
about coats for girls and misses lies in
their new style features, for they are
developed in all of the soft, limp coat
ings that lend themselves to draping
or shocking or shirrings. Velours or
duvetyn, and similar cloths with new
names, make variety in the choice of
coatings but do not provide great
amount of dissimilarity, SO that it Is
design and style that must serve to
distinguish them. Besides these hand
some and dressy fabrics there are the
dependable tweeds and homespuns In
sturdy coats for school, that are pre-
scented in trim and comfortable models.
Something new In design In coats
for the "junior miss"-which is the
new and dignified name by which the
flapper now finds herself placed-is
shown In the picture above. With 1t
there is a pretty coat for little girl,
made of velours with bands Of nutria
fur about the sleeves. This attractive
model is ornamented with triangular
inserts made Of the material, shirred
In parallel rows and set in at each
side, above the high waistline. Below

Wool furs, or fur fabrics, have be-
come thoroughly established staples
that manufacturers of suits and top
coats reckon with each fall in making
up their lines of practical garments.
Where wool furs undertake to look
like the pelts they initiate they are SO
marvelously close to the original that
1t requires a careful inspection to dis
tinguish between them. Sealskin is
initiated in wool fur that keeps one
guessing, unless it is almost within
arms length, and there are furs almost
as successfully initiated. But some
times the manufacturers of wool fur
use genuine fur only as an inspi-
ration and interpret 1t in a fabric
that IS handsomer than the original.
This is what has been done in the
case of the material that resembles
the natural muskrat pelt, which is
used SO much for coats.
AS a trimming for cloth suits wool
furs prove more practical than real
furs, from the standpoint of service,
and handsome wool fur is better
looking than cheap fur. 1t stands

Indian Gives Girl Saddle.

Tyndall, S. D.-What without doubt
is one Of the finest and most valuable
saddles in the whole Northwest has
been presented to Miss Anna Kirk Of
this city by an old Indian friend. The
saddle is entirely covered with beads,
red. white and blue, fashioned in diff
ferent designs. The saddle shows
wear and evidently had been In use
In the tribe for some years. The work
on It indicates that many months and
perhaps years, were required to make
the saddle and fashion the beadwork
designs upon it. Miss Kirk refused an
offer of $3.50 for the saddle, which
thought to be one of the finest exam
ples of Indian work in existence.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
A Shifting Market.

The comparatively high rates for
money and the fact that many Industrial
favorites had enjoyed a spectacular rise
caused shifting of the market yesterday
and speculative attention centred on the
oils and the low priced rails. Many COM
mission houses advised yesterday pur-
chase of the oils on the ground that most
of the stocks brought out on the first rise
had been absorbed by the public ana the
market was due to enter its secondary
stage. At the same time there was
shifting from and a readjustment In
such stocks as Crucible, Baldwin and
Bethlehem b. which have advanced
wildly of late. All of the rails were ac-
tive, particularly the oil rails. In tho
straight Oil stocks Mexican Petroleum,
Sinclair Oil and Royal Dutch were the
favorites. The move in Sinclair was
rather a surprise, as It had been tipped
to start to-day rather than yesterday.
Nevertheless II opened at 81 and sold to
66h before encountering opposition. Ex-
pected Developments in the Doheny prop
critics in regard to foreign sales brought
strength to those stocks yesterday.

Tobacco Stocks.

Next to the rails and oil stocks the
tobaccos continued yesterday to attract
the most attention. In connection with
the news developments Of this group 1t
was learned that negotiations between
the United Retail Stores Corporation
and the Lorillard people, under way for
some time, have been about completed.
According to the Same source OF infor-
nation, negotiations whereby some sort
Of working agreement. probably call
ing for the exclusive handling of the
products OF American Tobacco in for
eign countries. will be given to Shc
United Retail Stores, are pending be-
tween the United Retail Stores and the
American Tobacco Company. American
Tobacco is out of line with the other
tobaccos and, while It has been creeping
up gradually, its rise is hardly COM
parable with that which has been en-
Logged by United Cigars or by Lorillard.

Declines in foreign exchange, even

ever sold in this market, appears to be
ignored blithely by the market. The
price OF sterling stands at some ~
cents to the pound lower than at the be-
ginning OF this month and approximately
80 cents below the rate on June /. One
banker declared yesterday that so long
as the public controls the stock market,
as 1t does at the present time. the for

Exchange Holiday Saturday.

To relieve the tremendous strain on the
machinery Of the Stock Exchange caused
by the huge volume OF business now
being transacted daily and to give many
firms opportunity to catch up in their
bookkeeping, governors of the New York
Stock Exchange yesterday voted to hold
no session on Saturday. The extra holi-
day was granted on the petition OF sew
eral firms hopelessly behind in their
clerical work and which expect to utilize
the holiday In catching up. The holiday
will come as a welcome relief to the
specialists in the more active stocks,
who figuratively have been worked to
death during the long succession OF mill
lion share days. The strain on some
members of the Exchange has been so
tremendous that some letup In their ac-
tiyities Is necessary.
