After Years.

Special TO The World.
PONCA CITY, Feb. Sit develops

known locally for many years as
Bill' Clemmons, IL to be figure
In the diamond mining industry that
has recently become feature in
Newton county Arkansas. and which
has been receiving much attention
from the press OF the country.
n number OF years ago. according
to Col, Lou lieadley of this city,
there was a colony of Ponca City
people who went to Newton county,
Arkansas, for the purpose OF lead
mining. The lead was there, but
there were no transportation facil-
tiles, and the price of ore went
down. Consequently the Ponca City
ans did not flourish for long.
Arriving in Arkansas. tho Okla
homans had started u new town,
which they called Ponca in honor OF
the city they had left behind In the
Cherokee strip, and II Is around
Ponca, Ark, today that all the dia-
mond excitement is waging Here.
II Is said, are found those peculiar
chimney formations of rock, the re
suit OF volcanic upheavals. a forma =
tions that means diamonds In both
south Africa and Arkansas.
1t happens that "Bilr' Clemmons
is the only Oklahoman left at Ponca,
Ark, and he is very enthusiastic over
the prospects. All his former fellow
townsmen have gone to other climes,
where the pastures have appeared to
be greener. Clemmons stuck It out
and is getting his reward. He has
inferred in a letter TO Colonel Head
ley that he will soon "be wearing
diamonds for pants buttons"

FLOWERS IN YOUR HOUSE.

In cold months we look ionplncly INTO
the florists windows and sigh for the
daffodils and jonqnls, for the pot mari
colds and the snap dragons that bloom
there II seems to US as il our homes would
be SO much more attractive and as If the
task Of presiding over them and of enter
tanning In them would he SO much more
pleasant If VIC always had decorations of
Bowers 10 give just the right touch OF
beauty.
Now isn't it funny-as spring and
summer come. our yearning Tor flowers IN
our homes seems to wane. We could have
them often for the asking. II we have no
flowers In our own garden, walk OF a
summers evening would bring you 70
where they bloom IN woods or fields and
vet YOU don't take trouble to pick them.
That is-most housewives do not.
Maybe YOU do.
II makes the task easier il you have the
right sort and variety Of vases in one
very splendid house, owned by man OF
great wealth. there Is little room on the
ground floor with a door leading into the
open and this room is designed for the
sole purpose OF collecting and arranging
flowers from the garden. II contains
MANY mirrors and running water with 8
"a
there are shelves where rest rows Of All
sorts of vases, and there are scissors Of
various sorts where you can trlm the
flowers and, in short, everything 20 make
the task Of arranging the flowers one to
look forward 10 with iInpatienoe.
Now We cannot all have room Of this
sort but every one who has any sort of
garden, ought 10 have some little corner
where it is convenient TO lay the flowers
out and to arrange them In vases. 1t Is a
good plan 10 have the flowers all picked
and the vases you think YOU will need, all
filed, and then TO draw q high stool TO the
table where the things are arranged and 10
work from this vantage place. II you are 8
housewife with plenty Of foot work to
do every day. this little opportunity TO slt
down while YOU arrange the flowers will
make the task especially pleasant

THE GIRL ON THE JOB.

THE NEED FOR TRADE SCHOOLS.

Let your slogan be better and more
trade schools for girls. There are far
more trade schools for young men than
for young women, yet il is becoming al
most as usual for the girls of the family to
earn their living as for the boys Very
few girls nowadays are satisfied with stay
ing at home and going into society. They
want to work at something, they want
their independence. And they deserve
training and proper opportunity.
Many women In the smaller towns are
eager for training that will fit them TO
earn a living, and they cannot get it.
This is all wrong, and it is up TO US to get
our schools. One girl / know wanted a
course In photography, for which she had
q strong leaning. She had TO travel
hundreds of miles and spend much money
to get it. She could afford to do so and she
has now good business back In the town
from which she started. What is more, she
is conducting class in her speciality.
But she believes that IL would pay her
town to run vocational school FOR girls
that would teach photography as well as
many other vocatlons. And she is working
for such school.
1t is pity TO force so many girls into
the weary road OF stenography simply be-
cause IT is so often impossible TO get the
needed training in the hundreds of other
recations open TO them. Let every town
insist on It's trade school. II will pay for
itself a thousand times over.

BY the little girl And there is Little Dell
Doll sitting on the Elephants back. l
should think she would tumble off.
We'll, j shan't give up, exclaimed
Cuckoo, stretching as far as he could
out of his door. There is Little Tin
Mouse right at the very feet OF Old Pussy
Cat on Wheels. | should think he would
wake up and run. If she happens 90 wake
up first she will catch him.
80, there is that little house, with the
green trees in front. Hyw often / have
wished could sit in one Of those trees.
Thy look so nice and cool.
Little Cuckoo had forgottrn all about
the clock house he lived in and his work
as we'll By this time. He was so busy look
ing about and talking to himself, when
suddenly a blind Slammed at one of the
playroom windows and tumbled Little
Woody Dog, who sat on the sill, right
off on the floor.
Up he jumped and barked and in an
instant the toys all awoke and sat up,
and then Little Cuckoo remembered his
work
But what was his surprise 20 find
he could not move, and while the door
was still wide open be could not get inside
He had stayed out too long and leaned
out too far, and there be was in plain
sight Of all the TOYS and tho clock was still,
"Well, just look at that bird" said
Teddy Bear "No wonder we did not
wake up. The clock has stopped and
he did not call the last stroke Of II, |
am sure, for II he had we should have been
awake
Little Cuckoo tried to tell them he
had. but TO his surprise he found he
could not saw word.
III do not believe that is the reason, "
said Betty Doll. sitting up and stretch
ing her arms over her head I'VE played
too hard yesterday. You know, IT rained
all day and our little mistress gave tis a
long, hard days play. We oversight,
that is all"
But Teddy Bear and Woody Dog. who
did not know he tumbled off the window
sill. blamed il on the Little Cuckoo and
said he almost spoiled the night or them
and they would never trust him again.
The next day, when someone fixed
the clock, Little Cockoo jumped in his
house in hurry, glad to get home again,
Never heard such fussing," he said
to himself. Il am glad live up here out
Of it all / shall never wish for home
in one of the trees down there again.
That night, when he called the last
call Of the midnight hour, no one stayed
asleep, for the Little Cuckoo almost split
his small throat that all the toys might
awake. but he did not linger. He jumped
back and click went his door until the
half-hour call.
And every time he called out the hour
he made such a noise that all the toys
looked up to see what was the matter.
''Thev shan't blame me again, he said to
himself, but he has never fingered a second
TO look around since the time he had TO
stay out all night and was blamed by the
TOYS.

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
BY Laura A. Klrkman.
ANSWERED LETTERS.

Alma Ca wedding is To take place
in my home very soon and ! would ike
YOU to help me plan the decorations and
the menu for the breakfast
Answer--Lilacs are popular for wedding
decorations at this time OF year, not OF "
because Of their fragrance and beauty, bat
because of their bulk which enables the
decorator to make considerable showing
with few branches. Another advantage IN
choosing lilacs is that the blossoming
sprays NAV easily be formed into an arch
or canopv under which the bridal couple
may stand during the ceremony.
IfIw re YOU. / would follow this plan,
placing the arch Tor hanging. the canopy
at the farthcst end of your largest room
and, if YOU can afford it, making an aisle
up the centre of the room TO the arch !or
canopy by banking the lilacs in two solid
rows three feet apart. Otherwise, stack
the branches i'll corners, near doorways,
around mnntlepieces and IN other ei-
fective places. :,
The ilowcrs used on the table at the
wedding breakfast, however, should be
smaller than lilacs. Lilies of the valley
or violets would be suitable, or any of the
delicate wild flowers that are available.
There should be n low vase IN the centre
of the table containing these fowers ana
small punches of them ut each guest
place White stain ribbon stresmers may
run from beneath the centrep,ece TO each

suitable:

The Braves put up an awful fight

and when the gong sounded nine
pelts dangled from the belts of the
said Columbus team by score of
to 2.
The celebrities who are familiar to

yield promises to be unusually good,

YOUNG MAN AWOKE
TO FIND BED ON FIRE
Electric Iron Started Blaze Which
Burned Quilts and Mattress.
A Warm Awakening.

Of rather unusual origin was the
fire at the home of Mr. G. M. Rob-
erts which called the firemen out
about o'clock Saturday morning.
An electric iron had been in use
after supper Friday evening, the
current being turned off before the
family retired. George Roberts in
putting out the lights to retire in
some way switched on the current
again, the iron becoming red hot as
he slumbered. The bed clothing
was in a blaze when he awoke, and,
was entirely consumed the mat
tresses also was considerably burn
ed.
Young George was peacefully
sleeping through it all, and was
only awakened when the fire came
in contact with his feet. The loss
approximates $50.
