She commenced j er musical education on the Pacific coast; then studied in Paris for sevOn hflr rAturn to t.hta country she immediately loecame popular in- her old home locality?the coast. Miss Tiffany visited New York in the fall of 1916, with no intention of remaining in the east. Friends who admired her voice and art induced her to sing for Gulio Gatti Casazza, the impresario of the Metropolitan Opera Company. The result was a:i inmediate offer of a contract to join the (Metropolitan Company, which. Miss Tiffany did.

' never met in that city before, desire for information concerning the new meeting place is widespread throughout the southern states. The Confederates last year ill Washington city selected Tulsa, Okla., as the place for the reunion of 1918. It was the first time an Oklahoma city had been oa a ronrtinn nifv and the interest already mentioned attaches to Tulsa first, to Oklahoma second. The first and most important consideration among the very large nunv ber of people interested in reunions, is the matter of ability of a reunion city to finance the meeting. It is well known that, to properly entertain a Confederate reunion, from $75,000 to $100,000 is necessary. The question, therefore, in the minds of the people of the south is, "Can Tulsa furnish fTio mnnov'" No Confederate reunion city fias more money, population considered, than Tulsa. Few of them have as much, with no consideration as to the popalation. A brief statement of Tulsa's financial strength should dispel any doubt that may have arisen on this score. In fac':, the fund for entertaining the reunion is already subscribed and assured. One hundred thousand dollars, if necessary,, will .be expended to entertain the reunion. A consolidated bank statement rereals the strength of the community In money. Under the comptroller's call for bank statements of the date of May 10, 1918, the banks of Tulsa showed the following wealth: Total c?>ital and surplus, $3,080,000. Total undivided profits, $490,159.23. ! Total deposits, $52,386,215.57. | Total resources, $59,682,974.02. 1 Examine now the table of bank clearings. In the month of June, 1918, j the total clearings, as shown by the report of the clearinghouse associaMl ? ?* til f\OO fiAX IT To Vine +Ti Pc P iXUXi 1VCIC ( . luu.ug W. ~ figures as a monthly average for the year, the total clearings for 1918 will be $564,984,540. This statement is Tinder, rather than above,- the figures for the year, because the clearings are increasing every month. It is safe to estimate the total ifanfe clearings for 1918 at six hundred millions. The clearings in June, 1918, were 60.8 per cent above those of the same month of 1917. While Tulsa Is the great money center of the southwest, her people are patriotic also. They are giving and lending their money to the government for war purposes in large volume. At the close of the campaign | for the third liberty loan, the com| munity had donated and loaned to war ! purposes $18,607,900. This statement | includes three or four comparatively ! small donations to educational and j charitable institutions, al' )gether ! amounting to less than a million dol! lars. So, Tulsa has contributed more , than $17,000,000 to the various war 1 it.* ctraiVTit rTnnatirm funds. j lUaili} auu uvi j Her quota of $4,600,000 in the third i liberty loan, was subscribed in less j than a week. i A community that enjoys the finan : cial strength that these figures in j dioate, can finance any undertaking | it may invite. Tulsa invited tto ! Confederates to come here with then j 1918 reunion, fully understanding !{ what it would cost. And Tulsa wil ' pay the reunion bill. Tulsa will not only pay the reunior j "bill, but she wftl pay It ungrudgingly She will also extend the glad harif i to all reunion visitors.
