WHY
Oklahoma Is Known as the
“Sooner State.”
"Sooner” is tin American slang
..tlHiiie for a person who acts pre
j maturely, especially a homesteader
wild occupies public land before the
time appointed for its setth meat. The ;
term came into general use in 188!)
March iy> of that year President I’.cii
t jainin Harrison issued a proclamation
opening a large tract of land for set¬
tlement in what is now Oklahoma
*'ut and after the hour of I” o’clock,
noon, of the twenty-second day of
April, next, and not before.” Tin's
proclamation expressly staled that
persons occupying homesteads in the
territory before the day and hour
would never be pn'mitled to acquire
any rights in such land. All law
abiding eiiizens who wished to enter
upon the laud were supposed to wait
ut the edge of the district until a
signal was given by the soldiers on
guard. Many enterprising people,
Were so anxious to secure choice
quarter .sections of land that 'hey
seeretly slipped in ahead of the ap¬
pointed time. Usually they went in
»t night and hid themselves in tim¬
ber, brush or other out-of-the-way
pieces, whence they could quickly
reach the desired tract and effect a
settlement without making a long,
hard journey from the border. Those
surreptitious settlers were called
“*toners” because they arrived sootier
than the others, and from this cir¬
cumstance Oklahoma received the
nickname .Sooner state.—Kansas City

Why Ancient Peoples
Would Not Eat Beans
There is an old tradition that the
Egyptians at one time believed cer¬
tain souls ou leaving their bodies be¬
came beans, At tiny rate there scans
tg hate been a general aversion to
the been among ancient people. Cicero
believed it poisoned the blood.
For a person in tlie days of ancient
Rome to have Used the present day
salutation "Old Bean” would have
been to have called tliat person an
unholy name, llipprocrates taught
avoidance of the bean lest it injure
the sight. But today we kmov that
the heat! is crammed full of nourish¬
ment and is one of the staple foods
of modern men.
The bean of the army and navy j
that gives men the stamina to win
wars has become famous in these 1st- |
er days rather as a friend of man. j
But then the tomato was once be- j
Moved to be poisonous and was grown I
merely as an ornamental decoration
under the name "love tipple,"— Ex¬
change.
Why Glass Decays
it I* generally supposed that glass
is virtually everlasting, aside from tlte
question of breakage, but it has been
demonstrated that g!a-(s exposed to
the elements will decay and in lime
become so rotten that it is worthless.
Window glass exposed to the heat
and cold and varying winds will after
a number of years become so brittle
that it can lie cut with a pal- of
shears. It is said that light and dark¬
ness have different effects on class
and that this alternation alone will
cause it to become fragile and in time
worthless.
It Is almost Impossible to remove
old windows from a building without
breaking many of the panes of glass.
New glass can lie handled with much
more carelessness.
Street fakers who travel throughout
the country selling scissors will secure
a lot of old window glass and show
the crowds how wonderfully their
shears will cut h.v clipping off strips
of J tie glass itist as a poi son would
cut paper, when, in fact, the feat is
due to tiie fact llu.t the grass is actual¬
ly rotten.
Why Precincts Are Sacred
The Mormon tabernacle at Salt
Lake City is not closed to outsiders. ;
who are at liberty to inspect the won
derful building and to iisieri to tiie I
music of the great organ, one of tiie
greatest in tiie world. The temple,
however, Is sacred to believers in the
doctrines follows of tiie Mormon church. This j
the practice of tlie ancient.
Hebrews, to whom the inner courts of
the temple were sacred.
Why Bent Coin Is Liked
A bent coin is protective from evil
influences because it simulates the
moon's crescent: and for the same rea¬
son horseshoes, which in ancient times I
were more crescent-simped -than they
are now, were deemed very efficacious,
tiie fact that they were made of iron
being an additional safeguard, since
it was a widespread belief that iron
bapished evil influences,
Why “Bridge Lamp”
\ bridge lamp is mu a tamp designed
solely to shed light on the universal
card game, It ts a lamp equipped with
an arm or "bridge,” front which the
bulb and shade are suspended, lienee
its name. Quite, as you see. anotiier
idea altogether.
Why Coffee Is Blended
Genuine Mocha is a little too acid

cm ms I, for the average consumer. Tiie
blending results in just tiie right pro¬
portion of each element to produce
the finest flavor.
Why Sound Is Killed
A tuning-fork struck in a vacuum
wiil give no sound, because sound is
an impression produced upon the ear

How Artificial Nests
Aid in Bass Culture
It Ims been ascertained that black
bass culture is greatly aided by arti¬
ficial construction or nests. The male
small-mouthed bass builds its nest by
sweeping the stones of a lake bottom,
hare of sand in a three-foot circle Al
temntely using his nose and his tall
the iish makes a saucer-shaped nest
ready for the eggs of his mate; hut
lie will readily use a nest that lias,
been prepared for him. Accordingly,,
the iish experts expedite iiis home
building.
For tiie big-mouthed bass nests are
made of moss embedded in concrete,
us lids species prefers a fibrous bed
for Its eggs. Ponds with basins six
feet deep in the center and with shal¬
lower water elsewhere are so pre¬
pared. Wild fish caught by the hook
are put in to mate here, to the great
increase of reproduction. Proper as¬
sortment of tlie fish and the preven¬
tion of crowding accomplish excellent
results.
How Trees Affect Future.
If this nation is to continue to main¬
tain commercial prosperity, the for¬
estry situation becomes a world prob¬
lem. What does it mean to this pros¬
perity when such great manufactur¬
ing centers as Pennsylvania, New
York, Michigan, and Ohio have to
import lumber in billions of feet every
year to keep their factories going?
New York, imports about S.OoO.OOO,
000 feet annually, the American Tree
association says. .Many other states
import great quantities. What will t
mean to state and national prosperity
when industries have to slow down
and out pay tolls because of the
mounting cost of forest products? We
think of California as one of the
state,; with thousands of acres of un¬
cut. forests, yet Hie state uses more
than it produces. This all means
something to every person of school
age today—the citizen and taxpayer
of tomorrow.
How Glass Can Be Cut.
A method of cutting glass clean and
straight without tiie aid of a glass
cutter is given as follows: Dip a
piece of common string in alcohol and
squeeze reasonably dry, tlien tie it
around the glass on tiie line of cut¬
ting. Touch a match to it and lei it
burn off. White the glass is hot
plunge it under water, letting tiie arm
go well under to Hie elbow, so there
will he no vibration when the glass
is struck. With the free hand strike
the glass outside the line of cutting,
giving a quick sharp stroke will a
stick or knife. Of course this will
leave a sharp edge around the cutting,
