Fifty Thousand Jobs on the Plum Tree

UPWARDS Of $4,000 appointments
- to public offices, carrying salaries
aggregating more than S1OO,OOOOO0 u
year, are to be made by President
Harding. Some of these have been
made, many others will be announced
during the next few months, while
still others will be made as the terms
Of present Democratic officeholders ex-
pire.
The first fruits from the shaking
Of the official plum tree were cabi-
net officers. whose salaries are $4,000
year each. Others to come include
nearly dozen ambassadors. whose
salaries are $17,5OO each; many minis
ters at $4,000 each; assistant secre-
taries, federal judges. attorneys and
marshnls, customs collectors, members
Df various government boards and
commissions and postmasters by the
thousands.
In contrast to the huge patronage
roll of Mr.. Harding are the appointlve
perquisites Of Vice President Coolidge,
whose immediate appointments COM
prise only his secretary, clerk page
boy and private telegraph operator.
Their salaries total $7,70O a year. The
vice president himself receives $4,000.
Among appointments are seven
members of the shipping board at

Fairy Tale
QUEER MOUNTAINS.
6y MARY GRAHAM BONNER

This is one OF the adventures that
I think you'll want to hear that the
boy and girl had who were on their
way to the House of Secsets-that
long, long but very interesting jour
ney.
1t was at Mother Gossip's. There
were the little Gossip children, and
the Hearsay Triplets, the Tattle-Tale
Twins, the Exaggerate boys and all
the others.
Mother Gossip had told Mr.. Wood
Elf that she had heard that the boy
and the girl who were adventuring
had thrown stones at each other and
had dreadful quarrel.
II must tell you" said Mr.. Wood
Elf, that that story you told about
the boy and girl is wrong. They new
er threw stones at each other. You're
trying to make great big story out
of little bit Of a quarrel. You don't
like hearing that 1t was only a small
quarrel. you don't like that at all.
You want to add to it and make 1t
sound so much worse, and then you
will add some more, and say that the
children are quarrelsome, and later on
you will get 1t around that they're not
friendly at all and finally that they
don't speak"
But l had something to start on.

They were In the woods and look
ing around they saw lots Of little
mountains which had been made out
Of mole hills. While they were walk
ing between the mountains they would
have lost each other If Mr.. Wood Elf
had not said,
Each take one of my hands so we
don't lose each other. This Is bad
place in which to get lost"
"You see," said Mother Gossip, as
you won't be friendly with me, and
as Mr.. Wood Elf knows all about me
I'll tell you about these mountains
They all began by being mole hills
Do you remember the expression?

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
20 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 50
common to the American people. and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles Of two sizes,
medium and large.
However. if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

here are some of the stories we've
made.
"We've added to the little stories
and made little hills and then we've
added and added, and made everyone
so curious that they added more be-
cause they thought there surely must
be something more to add, and so
we've gradually made our small noun
tains.
"But they're so big now that no
one could move them or pull them
down. It's hard to deny story which
has gone around well and which has
been well added to, isn't it? We knew
that and so we've made our noun
tains big enough to stand anything.
Besides" Mother Gossip added, 'if
anyone does try to destroy one of our
nice little mountains we always have
our Untrue Spiders to help us"
"What are they?" asked the girl
"They're untrue SPIDERS" repeated
Mother Gossip. They're not real and
they're not true. But just as soon as
anyone tries to pull down a big story,
or big hill which has been made out
of little one, they make the person
get so tangled in their webs of un-
truth that they can't change the story
or the mountain at all.
"Oh," Mother Gossip went on. 81

CITY COUNCIL REDUCED
TAX LEVY

The city council met in adjourned
session Tuesday afternoon to transact
important business. The most i'm
portant matter before the council was
that of the tax levy. The city tax
was reduced about 10 per cent, the
levy being made so cents on the 800
valuation. Last year the levy was
$1.00 on the $10O valuation with de-
duction of 45 per cent valuation. This
year the valuation is given 5 per cent
deduction. The real saving to tax
payers is approximately 10 per cent.
The council accepted the bid of M.
E. Gillioz for grading and graveling
Lincoln avenue from Gale to County
streets.
The council ordered the oiling of
Central avenue from Front to Cleye-
land avenue, Seventh and Eighth
street from Broadway to Cleveland
avenue, Fifth street from Bond to
Cleveland avenue and Sixth street
street from Broadway to Benton ave
nue.. The ordinance provides for
three oilings-one in June, one in July
and one in September. Should less
oilings be sufficient, the three will not
be made.
AS it was impossible to get the oil
ing done last year, the streets are
badly in need of treating and when
the oiling is done, all the main resi-
dence streets will be in rood condition.

DEATH TOLL
ESTIMATED AT 100
Hundreds Wounded in Tulsa Race
Riot. Property Loss About
S1,5OO,OGO.

Tulsa, June 1.--Possibly 100 persons
dead, hundreds wounded and property
damage estimated at $1,500,O0O were
outstanding results tonight of race
disorders which broke out here last
night following the arrest of negro
accused of attacking white girl and
which continued sporadically through
cut today.
This evening Tulsa was quiet, with
the city under martial law and it's
streets patrolled by troops of the
Oklahoma national guard sent here at
the direction of Governor J. B. A.
Robertson. Officials were hopeful
that the worst of the trouble had pass
ed and that the coming of dawn would
find normal conditions restored.
However, they did not relax their
vigilance and it was stated that every
thing was in readiness to handle a
grave situation should one arise again.
Civil officers were being assisted by
Adjutant General Charles F. Barrett,
who came here this morning with adj
dltional troops for riot duty.
No accurate check of the dead had
been made at late hour, and unof-
ficial estimates ran from the known
list of ten whites and seventy negroes
dead, to an opinion of Police Inspector
Daley, second in command of the
police force, that the list would reach
ITS dead
The razed area starts near a station
of the st. Louis and San Francisco
railroad, scene of the heaviest fight
ing this morning, at Boston avenue,
continues east along the railroad
tracks to Pearl avenue, north along
Pearl to point half a mile outside
the city limits, west to Cincinnati
avenue, south on Cincinnati to Lowell,
short distance west on Lowell to Bos-
ton, and then south on Boston.
4 About 5000 negroes were herded to-
night in the fair grounds east of the
city, under the protection of national
guardsmen. They were gathered
there from all points III the city where
thew sought refuge during the day.
The trouble is believed to have
originated in connection with the ar
rest of Dick Rowland, negro, who is
alleged to have assaulted an orphan
girl in an elevator. After crowds of
negroes had marched by the county
Jail last night, where Rowland was
confined, the authorities spirited him
out of the city early today to an un-
announced destination.
