In 1909 was elected mayor for the

Ouc of the first matters TO which
the administration directed tts at

cost ur paving iu Tulsa. Up until
that time the state appeared to have
been in the control OF an alleged
paving trust with the average cost
of paving about 81 20 a square yard
The administration threw down the
bars OF competition to tho world
with the result that contracts were
entered into with the Eureka faviuc
company to pave with TcNaco as
phalt at approximately 81 60 a squar,
yard, and the cost since that time
has not materially increased The
result is that Tulsa has the best paw

WITHOUT MONEY DESIRE;
TO BE CALLED DEAD AGAIN

Few instances, if any, have ever
come to the attention of the Court
of Appeals in whmich such a total
disregard of money is exhibited as
in the case of Jaffa Weare, who,
knowing that he has inherited
S4,034.69 with interest from 1909,
has made no claim for his estate.
Weare was one of seven heirs to the
estate of Jared Weare, his brother,
who died in Fleming county in 1909.
The other heirs are Jerome, Jacub,
Jahaza, Jaakin, Jacova and Jaza.
The record in the case disclosed
that Jaffa Weare left his home in
Fleming county in 1882. He was
legally declared dead, but was locat-
ed in the spring of 1911, when his
brother, Jacub Wearere, by accident
learned that he was at Malvern, Ar
kansas, and went to that city to in
form him of the legacy. Jaffa said

HIGHLY COMPLlMENTED

The following item from the AL
bany Journal will be of interest to
Mr.. Anderson's friends here
"Among the many new filing sta
tions which have been erected in
Albany in the recent past, none is
more attractive or more up to-date
than the Anderson Filling Station
which S. w. Anderson has Just
completed and put in operation on
the corner of Jackson and Flint
streets. The station is substantial
ly built of brick, with rough stuc-
co finish that makes it especially
attractive in appearance. 1t is
modern in every detail, arranged so
as to render the quickest and most
satisfactory service. On one side
are the drive ways for cars to re-
ceive gas, oil, water and air. On the
other side is the driveway where
cars are washed and where the
"dope pit" is located, where cars
can be thoroughly creased. The ar
rangement of the ladies rest room
in this new filing station is espec-
tally attractive. A large comforta-
bly, furnished room has been pro-
vided. This will be especially con-
venient for ladies who are touring
through the city. Mr.. Anderson is
receiving congratulations upon the
attractiveness and efficiency Of his
new filing station.

The whole question to be decided
in regard 10 proposed Amendment
No. ! is whether the present method
as fixed by the constitution secures
to the schools the best possible
leadership and administration. II 1t
does then there is no need for
change. If it does not then the con-
stitution must first be changed by
amendment before the Legislature
can have power to fix any other
method Of selecting the Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction. There is
no denying that there are many OBJ
jections to the present plan. Exper-
fence and observation clearly show
that. A very large per cent Of our
peoples taxes go to the support OF
our schools. We wish that we
could get more value received for
the money expended in the way OF
school efficiency and better advan-
tages for the big problem of educa-
ton Of our children. It is very
necessary that our schools be run
efficiently, economically and wisely.
1t requires a big man to do this
an executive and an educator. We
do not always get such a one. If by
good fortune we do get one, by the
time he is thoroughly familiar with
his duties and his problems his four
year term is up and he is ineligible
to succeed himself. None Of these
evils can be remedied without the
people voting the proposed amend
ment. This is merely the first step.
After the amendment is passed
the legislature, the chosen represent
tatives Of the people, will have the
power to create the office and make
all laws regarding it, Several meth
DDS have been advocated. Some de-
sire the Legislature to create a
State Board of Education who will
have the power to select the Super
intendent. Some advocate giving
the power to the Governor to ap.
point that officer and hold him res
ponsible for his appointment. 9th
ers advocate selecting the Superin-
tendent by the people under non
partisan emblem. This method
would no doubt receive good deal
of consideration by the Legislature.
The Democratic party in its plat
form two years ago favored this
plan. The Legislature may even, de-.
eide on some plan not yet thought
of. But in any case nothing can be
done to improve the condition until
the amendment is passed. 1t seems
as if Their is all to gain and moth
ing to lose.

Please note that we have discon-
tinued our Tuesday and Thursday
shows. This change has become
necessary owing to lack of patron
age, and will be in force until fur
Their notice. We regret to be obliged
to make this change, but as we have
kept the house open on the above
days benefit shows excepted) until
our business has reached the point
where if the exchanges had given us
our pictures gratis the business we
have been receiving would not meet
our house expenses. Our Paramount
and. First National service has made
such a poor showing and as their
pictures are considered among the
best and feeling if this service would
not appeal to our patrons only to
the extent as mentioned it is now
useless to try to continue the daily
policy at this time.
We hope that the business depres-
sion that we have experienced since
May will soon pass. The feature

wealth Of some of the finest screen
entertainment that has ever been Of

not now propitious to book such hig
productions as Way Down East, De-
ception. the Three Musketeers. the

the patronage that late specials Of

Contrary to the general opinion.
but nevertheless true, public opinion

that YOU give our different offerings

if we book feature that ia heralded

with most empty seats, we then know
that such attraction does not appeal
TO you and we try not to repeat such
an offering, but as all of this sea-
sons specials, practically speaking,
haying proven failures, the present
finds us in a position of doubt as to
now continuing our past policy.
Cheaper service and cheaper prices
might attract some, but we feel now
as We always have that the major
ity of our patrons desire only the
best, which we hope the near future
will prove. Our present bookings
cover Paramount, Aircraft, First

Doris May, formerly a oo-star with
Douglas MacLean and now one of the
bright, particular stars of the film
armament In her own right, will be-
gin a weeks screen engagement at
Loew's Palace Theater next Sunday
afternoon in THE Foolish Age" in
which Miss May is surrounded by a
supporting cast of unusual talent, in
GLIDING Hallam Cooley, Otis Harlin,
Bull Montana, Lillian Worth, Arthur
Hoyt, Billy Elmer and many others.
The idea on which THE Foolish
Age" is based is said to be novel and
timely. The star has the role of a
young girl, the daughter of wealthy
parents, who rebels at the idea of a
made-to-order marriage and deter
mines to follow a career Of uplifting
the lowly and the down-trodden.
She quits the college she is attend
ing, and opens an office In order TO
further her career, thus surrounding
herself with a group of down-and out
ers who are her uplift subjects. This
opens the way to a series of decidedly
mirthful episodes which gives Miss
May what is said to be one OF the
greatest staring productions she has
had In months.
