TO CHRISTEN BIG BATTLESHIP
When MIsb Lorena Cruce, daughter
of the governor of Oklahoma, chris
tens the new United States battleship
Oklahoma next March, the most truly
American warship will be launched—
the Indian of the navy.
Miss Cruce, herself part Indian, will
be surrounded by the representatives
of 40 tribes of red men of the forty-
sixth state. And if the request of
Oklahoma is complied with, and the
vessel is manned largely by Oklaho
mans now In the navy, a strong vein
of Indian blood lyould be found in the
crew’s personnel.
A majority of the Indians to be pres
ent at the launching will come from
the Five Civilized Tribes, but Miss
Cruce insists that all other branches
of aborigines shall have delegates at
the launching. They are expected to
appear in native dress, and the scene
will be the most unique in the navy’s
history if her plans prevail.
Robert L. Owen, United States sen
ator, and his daughter will represent the Cherokee strain, and Congressman
Charlos D. Carter the Choctaw branch of the five civilized groups of the In
dian Nation, whose emblems is a five-pointed star surrounding the seal of
Oklahoma will be the most conspicuous design to be engraved upon the
*7 ,500 silver service which the state will present to the battleship.
Miss Cruce, whose mother is dead, and who is the constant companion
and chum of her father, is the granddaughter of a gallant pioneer, Capt. Le
Flore. Her mother was one of twins whose names were Chlckio and Chockie
because of the commingling of Chickasaw and Choctaw blood.
Mrs. Cruce was Chlckio Le Fore. The daughter, seventeen years old, Is
a graduate of the Oklahoma State Normal school, and the Ardmore high
school. She is a student of languages in the University of Oklahoma and a
leader of society in the circles of her age in the capital. She has traveled
extensively and, though a girl in years and appearance, she is a woman in
Intellect and accomplishments.
Raouf Hussein Iley, captain of the
glorious ’’Hamldie," is advertising for
some one who will take off his shoul
ders the burden of being a hero. A
year’s experience has proved that be
ing a hero is tiresome. Raouf can
tolerate his popularity, the display of
his photographs, the flicker of his
moving picture face and his prospects
of becoming admiral and marine min
ister. But against this stands the fuct
that when you become a hero in Tur
key influential people insist on marry
ing you to a princess. Raouf resentB
this. Though a Turk, he is more Eu
ropean than Europe itself, and he
much prefers the European system
under which pretty girls who want to
marry heroes send along their photo
graphs. In Turkey they do not get
their photographs taken. The sultan
merely commands the hero to marry
a princess of the ancient, mighty and
terrible House of Othman, without
even knowing what she’s like.
Captain Raouf Hussein is a dark-eyed, thick-nosed, handsome, well-set-up
Turk forty years old. He served in the British navy, speaks perfect English,
has tasted whisky and soda, and in every other respect is a civilized man.
It was Raouf who went to Germany to buy the battleships Welssenburg and
Kurfurst Friedrich IVVilhelm, which, renamed Messudie and Barbarossa
Halredden, did Turkey such signal service in the war.
BURDEN OF BEING A HERO
K
LAMARS MOVE TO CAPITAL
Lamar is a familiar name in the
social annals of the national capital,
and, glancing through its written
pages, it seems a rare occurrence
when a representative of the family
has not figured.. Certainly not for the
past 20 or 30 years. Judge William
Bailey Lamar and his attractive young
wife are welcome additions to the
circle composed of former officials
for whom the lure of the city is irre
sistible. They were here for six years,
beginning with the Fifty-eighth con
gress, when the Judge, then serving as
attorney general of his state, was sent
to the lower house. After serving in
the Sixtieth congress, Judge Lamar be
came affiliated with large legal inter
ests in Atlanta, Ga., and resided there
until two years ago, when he and Mrs.
Lamar returned to Washington, which
will hereafter be their winter home.
"Fads are something I never had
leisure to cultivate,” said Mrs. Lamar.
“One of my delights relates to all
that pertains to a home. We recently erected near Atlanta, Ga., a home the
thouf&t of which will always give my heart a pang, for it seeni3 now that
It will never be our joy to live there.”
GENEVIEVE CLARK, CAPITAL DEBUTANTE
Quite in keeping with the quaint
flounces and furbelows, the “garden
slippers,” the girlish bonnets and the
nosegays of simple blossoms which It
is the fashion of the moment for the
debutante In the national capital to
carry are the old-fashioned
which they are keeping this season
Speaker Clark's daughter, Genevieve,
was among the most prominent of this
season’s "buds.”
When once an Invitation to a debu
tante's dance bore the legend "ten” or
“half-past ten o’clock,” today the cards
read "nine o’clock," which means that
supper will be served at midnight and
that by two o’clock the debutante's
first dance will be a happy memory.
The reform has come without any
effort. Something more subtle than
preaching early hours Is at work
changing a mode which in the last
ten years had become a custom so
rigidly observed that no one person or
'Set of persons, however influential,
k could uproot it. Another feature of the season is the absence of such purely
le functions as the erstwhile popular debutante luncheon.
Farmers’ Educational
and Co-Operative
Union of America
Matters jf Especial Moment to
_ the Progressive Agriculturist
A good road shortens the distance
to market.
Good hired men are hard to get,
and still harder to keep year after
year.
• True co-operation Is a method of di
viding profits of industry—labor or
patronage—rather than to capital.
Spending a half a day making fifty
cents’ worth of repairs Is not always
the best way to make money.
The farmer does some of his work
so cheerfully and so well that it looks
like play to the man passing by.
On some farms everybody works
for their board and clothes and a
little spending money for the old man.
Keep a record of your expenses.
The money may go, anyhow, but
knowing where it has gone will be a
satisfaction.
There are three kinds of trouble
and three kinds of joy—what we have
on hand, what we have had, and what
we may have.
The fact that pork Is eight and ten
cents per pound on foot, may explain
why a lot of folks always make hogs
of themselves.
In now-a-days farming more than
legs and arms are necessary. You
must have a head with something in
It and use It all the time.
The ,fact that your neighbor tests
his seed carefully before planting, is
pretty conclusive evidence that he did
not get his wealth by accident.
If everyone took a good paper and
read It closely, ads and all, a lot of
slick confidence men would either
starve to death or huve to go to work.
Cleaning up the weeds and litter
along the roads and In the garden
would make a tremendous difference
to the bugs and insects hiding, there
waiting for spring.
FARMERS’ INSTITUTE GROWTH
Movement in United States During
Last Decade Has Been Steady—
Big Increased Attendance.
The growth of the farmers’ insti
tute movement in the United States
during the last decade has been
steady. In the season of 1902-3 there
were held 9,570 sessions of Institutes
In 41 states, as compared with 20,640
sessions held in 1912-13. The atten
dance in 1902-3 was 904,654; in 1912-13
it was 2,897,391 at the regular insti
tutes. The increase in attendance at
each session was 49 per cent., or from
an average of 94.53 to 141. The ap
propriations increased from $187,226
to $510,784.
During the past year, notwithstand
ing the large growth of the extension
movement by the agricultural Col
leges, the regular institutes have in
creased in attendance 346,192 aiul in
the average number per session from
131 to 141.
Although Institutes were held by all
of the states and territories in 1913
excepting Louisiana, Nevada, Alaska,
and Porto Rico, returns have been re
ceived from only 41 as against 45 last
year. The states not reporting held
388 sessions in 1912, attended by 24,-
974 persons. If these states have held
institutes in 1913 equal to those of
1912, the totals would be Increased
to 21,028 sessions and 2,932,365 at
tendance, or an increase of 1.59S ses
sions and 381,166 attendance, over
the previous year. The institute has
increased Us constituency until it now
numbers about 3,000,000 of rural peo
ple.
There is no way of accurately esti
mating the increased efficiency of the
institute worker in recent years ex
cepting that in the face of all of the.
other enterprises looking toward rural
betterment he has not only maintain
ed his position among educators as a
teacher of advanced agriculture, but
in the last decade Ills audiences have
increased over 200 per cent. It should
be stated that this entire movement
has been initiated and conducted with
out national appropriation for its sup
port and with a minimum amount of
departmental aid, thus exhibiting an
Initiative vitality and capacity for
service of the body of farmers.
Avoid the Middleman.
A remarkable use lias been discov
ered for the parcel post by Northern
Alaska Eskimos, who have found that
instead of selling white fox skins to
traders on ihe spot at two dollars
apiece, they can mail them to dealers
in this country and avoid the middle
man. On account of this discovery, it
is said, the price of white fox skins
lias risen in Alaska during the past
summer to twenty dollars apiece. Who
would have thought, when it was es
tablished, that parcel post would be a
boon to the Eskimos?
Interest in Pictures.
The interest that the farmer is tak
ing in pictures and farm scenes iB
thoroughly encouraging. It implies
that he is awakening to the Impor
tance of better farm homes and it also
shows that he has a pride in what he
is able to accomplish on his own farm
and home. A man doesn't care to
have a picture of his place taken un
less he la proud of the placo.
CO-OPERATIVE PLAN IS GOOD
Lamb Club Organized Thirty Years
Ago In Tennessee Has Proven of
Benefits to Members.
In vifcw of the wide discussion of
the effects of co-operation among farm
ers in marketing their products, the
work of the Goodlettsvllle, Tenn.,
l^imb club, organized in 1882-83, and
now in existence for thirty years is of
timely interest. The club was organi
zed because the sheep raisers in the
vicinity of Goodlettsvllle found that
by banding together they could make
larger offerings of more uniform
lambs, utilize car space to better ad
vantage, and by making available a
larger number of good lambs ready for
shipment on a single day secure great
er competition among the buyers. The
followlhg facts are the result of a
study of this club and other lamb clubs
In Tennessee recently made by the
Bureau of Animal Industry.
The Goodlettsvllle Lamb club origi
nally consisted of about one dozen
farmers and its membership has in
creased until at one time it numbered
85 members. It has as officers a pres
ident and a secretary, and an execu
tive committee of three members, of
which the secretary is a member ex
officio. The club is not a chartered
institution and 1b more in the nature
of a partnership. Us members agree
to abide by its ruleB and constitution,
although the organization is not espe
cially binding. The president calls a
meeting about April 1st. Prior to this
meeting its members have the privi
lege of selling lambs and wool at pri
vate sale. At the meeting, however,
each member reports the number of
lamb3 and the amount of wool he will
have to sell through the club and there
after can no longer sell individually.
After the report the executive commit
tee has unlimited power.
This committee then determines the
total number of lambs and date or
dates for shipment. Ordinarily, one
shipment is made in the early part of
June and another is scheduled for the
early part of July. This year’s sales
were dated June 10th and July 15th.
The first delivery is made up almost
entirely of “firsts." The second de
livery which contains those that are
too small for the first sale, is as a
rule a poorer quality, as the old lambs
do not make as great or satisfactory
gains as the early ones.
There Is little uniformity as to
methods of Bale. This year, as is oft
en the rule, the wool was sold to a
local woolen mill. It was sold for 23*4,
20V& and 17 cents per pound, respect
ively. These prices average better
than those paid by local buyers, but
because the other wool sold to these
buyers is ungraded it is difficult to
compute the exact monetary advan
tage to the club members.
The sale of lambs through the club
may be announced through the local
papers, by means of posters or post
cards, or by word of mouth. This an
nouncement varies with the locality,
and the club may change its methods
from year to year.
Following is a typical advertisement
of such a sale by a Tennessee club:
LAMBS FOR SALE.
The Lamb Club will
sell by sealed bids about 800 lambs.
Bids close May 20. Lambs are to be
fat merchantable lambs, weighing
from 55 pounds up, and will be deliv
ered from the 9th to the 12th of June.
Clut) reserves the right to reject any
or all bids.
(Signed)
Secretary.
Some of the clubs will accept bids by
telephone or mail. The time between
closing bids and the actual sale of
lambs varies. Where bids closing on
the day of sale are not satisfactory
the club then ships its own lambs in
cars previously ordered, and which the
buyers have agreed to use if their
bids are accepted. In some cases bids
are accepted several weeks before de
livery date, and the Goodlettsville club
sold on futures this last season. Sell
ing at or near the day of delivery is
generally more popular with buyers
and purchasers.
On the day of delivery at Goodletts
ville the lambs begin to come in early
in the morning in wagons or in flocks.
The driven lambs are marked with
bright colored paint which avoids con
fusion where flocks become mixed.
Lambs are put upon the scales which
are handled by the executive commit
tee. Lambs lacking in condition or
weighing less than 60 pounds are dis
carded as culls. Comparatively few
are thrown out, however, as the grow
ers cull, the greater part are those
lacking in age and of small size, but
there are also some large ram lambs
thut have become what is locally
known as "staggy.”
The president and one or two assis
tants weight the lambs and credit each
grower with his total weight. Deliv
ery Is commonly made before noon in
time for loading:- Payment is made
on the day of delivery. The president
or the executive committee pays the
expenses which are small, and appor
tions the balanoc among the members
according tS" the number and weight
actually delivered. The business of
the day ts followed py a dinner of the
club which adds a social feature.
In addition to tfle Goodlettsvllle club
there are lamb and wool clubs at Mt.
Juliet, Baird’s Mill, Alllsona, Martha,
and Flat Rock, in flourishing condi
tion. These clubs each handle from
600 to 2,500 Iambs per year. New
clubs are Pccaslonally formed and
these are gen rally successful.
Not a Good Test.

! Who Is Your
Master?
Br REV. J. H. RALSTON
Secretary of Correapondcnce Department
Moody Bible Institute, Cbicaao
TEXT—No mnn can serve two inns:fees.
—Matt. fi-a«
Experience
proves that every
man has some
master. While the
text intimates that
a man may at
tempt to serve
two masters, he
can serve only
one. Our thought
must not be con
fined to choice be
tween two mas
ters only when
there may be sev
eral. The point
being that a man
serves only one.
Mammon may mean self, the world,
the flesh or the devil. We will confine
our thought to three possible mas
ters.
Self as Master.
Man, as a rule, thinks he. is his own
master. He says: “I am the cap
tain of my soul.” He recalls without
hesitation the words of the poet:
"Man, know thyself,
Presume not God to scan."
and he interprets these words to mean
that a knowledge of God is not his
flrBt duty. In many cases he utterly
Ignores God and sees in himself pos
sibilities of a perfect man, and strives
to develop them by himself. A party
of travelers in the Alps were starting
out one morning to scale one of the
highest peaks, and invited a young
man to go with them, and on his de
clination, asked him if he did not in
tend to make the ascent. He replied:
‘Wes, I will make it, but I will make It
by myself. I have a guide book, and
have my own head.” The party made
the ascent and returned in safety. The
next day the papers reported the find
ing of a dead body of a young man
at the foot of a precipice with a guide
book tightly clutched in his hand.
Thus many Imagine that they can go
on without God.
Satan as Master.
The teaching of the word of God is
very clear that there is an intelligent,
powerful, malicious personality in the
universe opposed to God, and he is
called Satan, or the devil. He is the
god of this age, and he is given great
power, and seems to be lifted above
mankind, to a position from which
he exercises this great power. His
power is seen in individual lives, and
In masses of men. The diabolism that
Is found in certain companies of hu
man beings is almost beyond belief.
The plot against the Jews of Russia
charged with the ritual murder of tho
boy Yushinsky, which, according to
George! Kennan involved the Russian
government itself, can only be ac
counted for on the proposition that
some satanlc mind planned it all. De
mon possession was clearly taught In
the scriptures, and In modern times
has been clearly proven in China and
other parts of the world by most con
servative and discriminating students.
Of some men it can be truly said,
they are devils incarnate. The devil
does not always operate in tho most
debased and fiendish manner, or men
would resist him and fly from him.
Many whose lives are fairly admirable
are yet in tho mastery of the evil one,
but do not know it. Did not Jesus say
that certain men were the children of
the devil? In the individual, the mas
tery of the devil is seen In his in
ability to control his appetite, his tem
per, and his actions.
God as Master.
But may not God be master? Jesus
Christ, who was God, claimed to be
master, saying: “One is your master,
even ebrist." While there are few,
comparatively, who acknowledge God
as master, there are those who may
claim to parallel the 7,000 in Israel
who did not bow the knee of Baal.
The disciple Thomas freely called
Jesus Master, and the Holy spirit
coupled tho idea of the saving power
of Jesus Christ with his mastership
in the use of the term Lord Jesus.
The mastership of God Involves sev
eral things. Flqgl, definite, positive and
purposeful surrender to God When
Saul of Tarsus by the gate of Da
mascus asked: “What shall I do,
Lord?” he rua^le a definite surrender.
He acknowledged himself from that
moment as the servant and very slave
of God. Secondly, man will at once
let God guide him. As God’s guid
ance is most clearly given in his ward,
that word will be man’B study all the
days. Thirdly, his life will be one of
complete obedience. ' There will be no
further question as to whether the
thing God commands is feasible or
not. It Is only as to whether It is a
clear command. “His not to reason
why, his but to do or die." This per
fect surrender is not imbecility; it is
a sane, sensible recognition that tho
leadership of God is better than his
own. An Illustration of this Is seen in
the career of such a man as Dwight
L. Moody.
Yielding the mastery to God, secures
supreme happiness. One of the mas
ter tricks of the devil Is to make man
believe that to serve hltnself is to
secure happiness. The only fear of
Dan Crawford, who for 22 years was
In tho iong grass of Africa, was that
he might possibly 'Ipse his supreme
joy In God—but he never lost it

All that is left of the hislorlo
Wright biplane with which Calbraith
P. Rodgers Hew from the Atlantic to

when Rodgers fell to his death in the

quently it was used by Andrew Drew
until that aviator also was killed with
it. The machine has been restored to
its original condition. Both Rodgers’
and Fowler’s Wright machines have
motors of but 30-horsepower, yet they
flew across the continent in opposite
directions at a time when the aero
plane had not been equipped with the
100-horsepower motor of today, which
makes it much more stable, nor bad
it developed anywhere near the speed
of which it has since shown itself to
be capable.
