CAT1lEMAN FLIES
TO HOLD AUCTION

OKLAHOMA CITY.-The air
plane threatens to take the place Of
the automobile in the Southwest.
During the last six months rapid
strides have been made in their use
for business purposes. Men who
have used them assert "they can't
be beat"
One enterprising company manu-
featuring air machines has already
established salesrooms-or rather
fields-near here and are reported
to be doing big business.
The airplane has been brought
forcibly to the attention of the oil
and cattle men of this state dur
ing the past few months on two oc-
casions when they were used in
emergencies and proved reliable.
Colonel H. L. Burgess, prominent
cattleman Of Chelsea, Okla, was
slated to conduct a shorthorn sale
in Klemlin, but missed train con-
nections at Ell Reno. Roads in this
section Of the country are notorious
ly bad and rain on this occasion
had made them worse. The colonel,
however, telephoned to Oklahoma
City for an airplane, which was
soon on its way to Ell Reno.
The trip was made without mis-
hap and cattlemen soon became in
terested in the aerial mode of trav-
cling.
Oil men have stated their inten-
tion Of using airplanes for scouting
purposes and for emergencies which
frequently occur in the oil game, re-
quiring short but speedy moves.

CHRISTMAS SUGGESTIONS

Christmas is coming with gay
trees. twinkling candles, sparkling
decorations, beautiful gifts, smiling
faces, and light hearts. The one
day OF the year when each one
strives to make others happy There
is no wonder that in every child's
mind Christmas is the hallowed day
of the year. The day is indeed de-
serving of such profound observance
for it commentaries the most i'm
portant event that has ever taken
place in the history of the world.
II is right and fitting that it should
be celebrated by every person, and
in every home, but in no case should
people permit their enthusiasm to
carry them beyond the point where
they may forget to give proper con-
sideration to their own and Others
personal safety.
The customary manner of cele-
brating, entailing the use of inflam-
mable decorations. burning candles
filmy dresses, etc, has in many in
stances resulted in disastrous fires
attended with the destruction of life
and property, and the leaving of a
trail OF sadness and sorrow in the
wake OF that joyful occasion. How
much better to have eliminated the
element of danger by exercising q
little forethought and preCaution
The use of fire is in no way essen
tial to a proper observance or cele-
bration OF the day, and We offer a
few timely suggestions for saner
and safer Christmas.
Do not have wiring done by nov
ice.
Use a small tree Small trees are
usually more decorative than large
ones, and much safer.
Be sure the tree is well fastened
so it can not fall over.
II candles are used protect the
floor under the tree with sheet of
metal.
Where possible use small electric
lights for illumination.
II you must use candles, place
same so that flame can not come in
contact with anything inflammGble,
and fasten securely.
Use metal tinsel for decoration in
stead OF paper or inflammables.
For snow effects use asbestos on
gas jets, and do not hang anything
inflammable on chandeliers.
Keep screen always in front of fire
place.
Never permit children to light can
dies. They should never under any
circumstances be permitted the use
OF matches.
Extinguish all candles before the
distribution OF presents.
Remove ali decorations within
three days.
II is very wise precauton to fire
proof the children's filmy dresses,
and any inflammable decorations
possible which can be done for
few cents in the following manner,
viz: Dissolve commercial ammoni-
um phosphate in water in the pro
portion OF one pound to the gallon.
lmmerse the articles for few min
utes in solution. wiring slightly and
dry. This is not injurious to the
skin or fabric in any way, and very
effectually fireproofs, as the ma
terial will not blaze or burn.

There is a serious outbreak OF
trouseriti5 among women.
The men blame this onto the fact
that somebody once said trousers
were daring" and now women find
them an ever recurring temptation.
Certain it is that wherever wom-
en- are permitted to don the basic
bifurcations you seek in vain for a
skirt. At all the recent fancy-dress
balls, in the newest reviews and in
the latest frocks women go trou-
sered, therefore happy.
At the victory ball girls were
dressed either in Eastern costume,
as pierrots, little boys, or strange
futurist things of which you couldn't
recognize the character but noticed
it was bitten by the trouseritis germ.
Men bewail it. and are trying to
effect cure by pointing out that
trousers are the most modest things
ever invented.

The chill nights rendered me

warm rays of the sun gave me new
life and restored me to activity. A
horrible existence is this, but you

ordained existence of Woggle-Bugs

lures that inhabit the earth.
But Destiny had singled me out,
humble though l was, for grander
fate! One day 1 crawled near to a

In Peace Treaty

Toxic, March 29.-At mass meet
ing of prominent residents of Toxic
last night a resolution was adopted
opposing any League of Nations
covenant which does not contain a
clause abolishing racial discrimina-
ton. The resolution also urged op-
position to the abolition of con-
scription, the acquisition by Japan
of the German rights on the Shan
tung peninsula and opposition to the
international labor agreement which,
it was declared, is not adopted to the
constitution of Japan and to Japan's
internal condition.
