Il have kept In touch with this
problem since lis beginning aad Il
seems to me that our people deserve
some development along the lines OF
parks and bonleyards. even though
II has been delayed these many
years.
System Was Planned.
"Thc original plan. as is quito
well known. provided for system
OF parks connected by proper
thoroughfares.
Il understand he referendum now
before our people provides for tho
expenditure Of $4,000 worth Of the
bonds. recently voted by our people.
for the purpoer Of buying 10 acres
of land near the Rock Island depot
and east of the yladutt.
ut seems to me that this will salts
~ the scheme originally designed
for establishment OF n system OF
parks by recognizing this as the
park for the east side Of the city.
As a matter of fact, tho west sec
tion of the city should be provided
with a park of some Character.
"The park phase was only part
OF plans, among which was the con-
struction of a boulevard connecting
the Oklahoma College for Women
and surrounding territory with the
park system and the clty's business
section. This naturally Involves the
pavement, by some way or means, Of
Seventeenth street or some street
connecting the city and the Okla
homa College for Women with the
parks.
81 believe the Ciickasha citizen
ship feels the Importance Of making
some permanent connection between
the business district and the col
ege, so that there will be no doubt
about being able to reach any point
at any time, regardless Of weather
or climatic conditions vlrr
Leaves $4,000
Il do belive that the people own
ing the property oil Seventeenth
street should be required to furnish
I'll the revenue for the paving Of that
boulevard, but that this is a matter
which should be handled by the
city in general as community en-
terprise. The paving Of this strcs,s
means more to the city ir general
than the paving of any other street
in the city.
"The purchasing of The 40 acres
near the viaduot will leave the park
board and city in possession of
SS0,0CO worth of park bonds to be
used in the purchasing of other park
sites and the Improvement of same,
together with the paving of boule-
ward which would necessarily con-
meet the Oklahoma College, for
Women with the city OF CuicKasha.
"Done Enough Talking
ut seems that we have all done
enough talking HchT ana J proposition
in the last two years. The thing that
is most needed at this time is ac-
! tion.
Therefore, in order to get some
thing started which will better the
city, am going to cast my vote for
the purcahse Of the 40 acres near
the viaduct with $4,000 worth of the
park bonds, when | go to the polls

Southwest Of chickasha.

Operations are progressing stead
lily IL miles southeast OF Chickasha
In Grady county, where the Knox
Petroleum company and the Cor
ton Trust are testing out pair of
comparatively shallow sands.
The Knox people. owners OF the
Shook producer in The southwest
OF the southwest of section 17-5n-Sw.
also have a well on the sand on the
Lapham farm in section 1s-5n-Sw.
The top of the sand was picked up
at about 1850 feet where they ce-
mented. Drilling into this formation
they found 80 feet of sand. but It
was practically barren. This fact is
not discouraging the operators, how.
ever, for the reason that in lie Wag-
ner we'll of the Gorton trust in sec
tion 12-5n-9w, the first sand they
struck was dry with 20 break and
then 'the producing sand Drilling is
continuing to what the operators be-
lieve is second strata of sand.
Gorton Is Cementlng.
In section 7-5n-Sw on the Bushnell
farm. the Gorton Trust is setting
the eight and quarter casing at
about 1850 feet on what is believed
to be an oil sand. They have drilled
into the top of it and were rewarded
with an oil showing. They will
cement the casing at this level and
will drill in when 1t sets.
The Bushnell test is practically 70
feet lower, as concerns surface ele-
vation than the test Of the Knox on
the Lapham farm and the operators
are pointing to this fact as posi-
BILE explanation for the difference of
the depths of the sands.

AirpIane an Essential Now.

In 90 minutes after the Birmingham
Office of Shelby county mine opera
tor had gotten in touch with the mine
rescue station at West End, experts
at the station had engaged an airplane
and with special life-saving apparatus
had been landed at the mine, 80 miles
distant.
This marks a new field of useful
ness for the airplane. Physicians, life
saving experts and mine-rescue APP
paratus may be carried through the
air to the scene of mine disaster
and many lives may be saved by this
quick service.
When the airplane has evolved into
a medium for the saving of human
life, it may indeed be said to have
entered the class of the essentially
practical.-BirminghGm Age-Herald.

HAVE THEIR TIME TO FALL
Nature Has Made Provision for the
Parting of the Leaves From
the Parent Tree.

One Of the most beautifui processes
in nature is the fall of the leaf. This
is not, as is commonly supposed,
brought about by the inclement wealth
err of the autumn, says well-known
authority. For the underlying cause
one must look deeper.
Soon after the leaf appeared in the
spring preparations were being made
FOR IT'S fan. Across the base Of the
StG"; th?re grew inward a partition
Of erncial cells, known to bOntanists
as the layer of separation" AS the
season advances these cells become
modified and weakened so that a
springy cushion is formed. Eventual
ly the mere weight of the leaf may
be sufficient to bring about the sever
ance of the organ which the tree no
longer requires.
Before the leaf actually falls 1t
Surrenders all that it possesses in the
way of sugar and more complex stuffs.,
This passes back into the tree to be
stored away in the stems.

Memorial for Heroic Dead.

The prince Of Wales has brought
back with him from the Antipodes a
very beautiful conception of a form
Of memorial for the soldiers who have
fallen in the great war
He approached Ballarat, the great
gold mining city in the Australian
colony of Victoria by means of a broad
avenue, some fifteen miles long, lined
on either side by trees, which are
t1Ourishing, and that bid ere long to
form a sort of foliage domed roof
Tor the entire thoroughfare.
Each tree, planted within the last
three or four. years, and there are
about five thousand of them, COM
memorates a Ballarat boy who gave
his life for the empire at the front
in France, on the peninsula of Gal
Iipoli and in Palestine. Each of the
trees bears the name of the soldier
lad whose supreme sacrifice it is de-
signed to recall to his kith and kin

Not Easily Discouraged.

The prize-winner, so far as hopeful.
ness is concerned, has been discovered
down on Broad street, New York,
where a large office is maintained by
a company which quite openly admits
that they have not done a single bit of
business in three years.
The firm is an importing and export
ing one, whose sole commerce before
1917 was with Russia, and since the
detection of that country the Office
has been maintained, and the wages
paid to the force in hopes of some
arrangement being made so that trade
relations can be reopened. So far
nothing has happened, and the head Of
the firm has gone to Russia to try and
help things along. Meanwhile the Of
fee is opened each day and the force
sits around reading the papers and,
like Dickens famous Mr.. Micawber,
waiting for something to turn up"

CHINESE STUDENT WAS CALM
Slightly Disturbed by Soled Necktie,
but Not at All by Coming I'M
portant Debate.

1t is only 10 years ago that Wei
lington Koo-to whose efforts are
largely attributed the election of
China to the council of the League of
Nations--entered Columbia university,
New York. In definite preparation for
a diplomatic career he specialized in
international law under Prof. John
Bassett Moore, and it was in this sub
ject that he took his Ph.D. degree, with
thesis on "The Status of Aliens in
China" He was one of the most ac-
tive and distinguished Of the Columbia
undergraduates of his time, says the
Detroit News. Not only was he elect
ed to the Phi Beta Kappa, the most
famous of the American college fra
tcrnities, but he became editor in chief
of the Columbia Spectator.
AS a DICTATOR, too, Mr.. koo made
his mark among his contemporaries.
In 1908 his speech turned the tide in
favor of his own university in de-
bate with Cornell. The story is told
that when the Columbia team reached
Ithaca, the seat of the rival univer-
sity, most of its members were in a
state of blue funk, owing to the high
reputation of one of their opponents.
This attack of nerves was at its height
when they sought out Koo. YES"

one, arrayed himself, and in it went

STRONG PLEA FOR GARDENS
tion Urges That Last Years Good
Work Continue.

Last year more than 100000 boys
and girls in cities, large towns and in
dustrial villages in the United States
cultivated gardens under school direc-
eion and supervision and produced
many millions Of dollars worth of veg
etables and small fruits to be con-
Sumed where produced without cost
for transportation and handling and
without loss from deterioration on the
markets There were many thousands
of boys and girls who produced more
than $50 each in what would other
wise have been idle time, and thou
sands of acres Of land that would have
lain idle if it had not been cultivated
by the boys and girls yielded more than
$500 an acre.
The educational value to the chill
dren was far greater than the value
of the food products. That value in
cluded health, physical vigor habits of
industry, knowledge of plant life and
of the phenomena and forces of ma
ture, and the beginning Of the under
standing Of the fundamental moral
principle that every one should gladly
contribute to his own support by
his own labor.

avenue bordering the Mangue canal.
In the early days these palms were
mark of the royal distinction and
were planted only in parks and ave-
nues near city and county palaces.
The story goes that a slave stole some
of the seeds and sold them. Today
these "feather-dusters of the gods"
wave in every part of the city. At
present there is a free distribution Of
seeds and plants from the botanical
