I Towns Spring up Like Mushrooms Oklahoma City, Okla., April 5. Like mushrooms that spring up overnight, Oklahoma's oil towns have pushed their way into existence from the barrel prairie or the rock-strewn W hillside. In the wake of the "wildcatter," the lease sale and the inevitable derrick, these towns have reached their growth in a twinkling and flourished on the golden pot of oil found at the end of the rainbow. With their unpainted buildings of flimsy structure, these ephemeral villages blazon the trail of the oil scout who has crossed hill and dale in search of the underground treasures of petroleum. The latest addition to Oklahoma's oil towns is Shidler. A few months ago its site was known only as the southwest quarter of section 28, in Osage county. But that was before the Osage lease sale held in Pawhuska last December, when oil companies and promoters paid $8,000,000 fori leases on Indian lands. Then drilling ! ('Kan, and what had been barren plain, on the morrow was the site of a bustling town. Shidler has a school house, like towns of more sober growth. It was built from funds donated by lumber companies when a school census revealed that 42 children in the village chaved a chance at the "Three R's." Then, too, Shidler is a railroad terminus, for the 12-mile line of <tcel from Foraker comes to an abrupt end in this oil-made village. And it has its romance. Seven months before Shidler sprang from the prairie, T. A. Gale, a young engineer, married an Osage Indian girl, the owner of many acres of open land, the site of the future village. Now the Gales live in town, along with hundreds of other folk. Whiz-bang a word familiar to the k doughboy who fought mud and Ger!3 mans in trenches in France?was the oil town sensation before Shidler popped into the world. It, too, is loS cated in the Osage Indian country and t? starled the natives with its sudden growth and open vilation of gambling ami prohibitory statues. A law-abiding element in the county, however, started a vice-crusade which ended in the ousting of the sheriff, after trial at the county seat of Pawhuska, and now Whiz-bang is tamed. The original owner of the town-site was Miss Eileen De Noya, 19-year-old French-Indian girl. Only recently, Miss De Noya sold her holdings and the town dropped its war-time cognomen and adopted the more prosaic De Noya. Then there are the oil towns of ? other years, which have thrived on the pools of crude tapped by the drillers and grown into respectable, incorporated towns with stable governments, banks, schools, churches. Among these, which were brought into the world by the discovery of oil, are Healdton, Wilson, Cushing, Gnrber, Shamrock, Yale, Boynton, Slick and ^ Beggs. Is_ The modern city of Tulsa is pri)s marily an oil town, although few are to the derricks that can be seen from the "s roofs of its skyscrapers. When the lM' Red Fork oil fields was discovered in 11.j 1901, Tulsa was a struggling village, d- The boom was absorbed by the towns of Red Fork and Sapulpa, which passed Tulsa in population. A year later, however when the f'.lpnn nnnl ? ? ? >was opened up, it was Tulsa that benc fitted. It was the only nearby town 1S^ where office room was procurable and if. there the oil men flocked to establish he their headquarters. Now the city '('l' claims a population of 8.r>,000 and l>e7 I cause of its rapid growth is known as "The Magic City." P h' Monument Marks !'st Glory of Lost Race A!. h, Florence, Ala., April 5.?Within sight of Wilson Dam, unit of the government's war project at Muscle Shoals, stands a monument none the less marvelous in its construction rs which marks the priory of the rule of a lost race, according to ethniologists who lately visited the district. ,(j Prehistoric mound builders or aborn, iprines erected a mound here that has t? defied the decay of apres. Protocted by K" law. the secrets of the huge pile of earth and stone have been denied the curious as well as the scientific ex-7 plorer. The mound stands HO feet high and covers more than an acre of ground. y It is situated on the north banks of the Tennessee river just outside the er , ity of Florence. Small trees and ^ dense shrubbery cover the whole. The mound has proved of almost as n- much interest as the government pro ie ject to the thousands who have visited the district, town authorities declare. ,r Muscle Shoals was a favorite haunt >p of the Red Man, local history shows. >p It is believed here that the mound was originally constructed by the lost race aj of mound builders but was used by the hJ Indians as a mausoleum where the st bodies of many great chieftains now '.'j repose. The story appears to be 1(1 authenticated that the chief of the last in great eribe to inhabit the district was e- buried there by request so that he ri" "migh continually hear the splash of the waters as they roll over Muscle it Shoals." to 1 More than 10,000 British women recently emigrating to the dominions *s have received assurance of employment from the Salvation Army. i- In the villages in the Nile district, where the houses have flat tops, the natives make use of the roofs to house m their smaller live stock. ?f Society brides now have a new wrinkle in following Princess Mary's d example when going to the altar. In1 stead of taking the arm of the person le giving them away they now hold r hands as the king and princess did in Westminster Abbey. Cotton Better Than Last Year n Corpus Christi, Texas, April t>.? I Cotton is already coming up now on * about 21),000 more acres of land in ^ cultivation in Nueces county than ( last year and approximately SO per I cent of that amount is of the better * staple variety, according to reports , received by the Rural !>and Owners association. The amount of staple cot- } ton being planted this year is the result of the high premiums received last year on the better grade of cot- j ton. I The percentage of cotton acreage in ' Nueces county this year has been de- J creased slightly but the acreage is j considerably more, it is said, because i cf the new ground put into cultivation. ' Several years ago cotton was a negli- ( gible crop in this section, but in 1921 | Nueces county ranked third in the : : cotton-producing counties of the state. 1 Cotton planting was started in this J section about a month ago, but was | set back slightly by cold weather. It 1 is believed, however, that a very small ( per cent of the cotton that had been j planted was damaged. One thing that accounts for the de- i crease in the per cent of acres planted ' in cotton this year is the system of 1 modified crop rotation which was ; worked out by the Agricultural and Mechanical College. A campaign for ' a system of crop rotation is being car- ' ried on in this county this year and j recording to M. C. Jaynes, county j demonstration agent, many farmers < are interested in the plan. This sys- 1 tern calls for a rotation of one-fifth | of the acreage each year, which is a i method of combatting root rot. This campaign for a system of mod- j ified crop rotation will be carried on , by the Rural Land Owners associa- ] tion in much the same manner as was 1 the staple cotton campaign last year, | according to Roy Miller, secretary of j the association. j Mr. Miller has been in Washington J for some time working on the deep j water project but on his return to Corpus Christi durinir the nast week de- \ clared that ho was well pleased with J the attention the farmers had boon * giving the plan. , Robert J.Kleberg* of Kingsville, 1 one of the largest ranch men in the f Southwest, is president of the associ- * ation, while Cyrus B. Lucas, new pres- * ident of the Cattle Kaisers association, is vice president. The association is ' not a land selling organization but J is for the advancement of the inter- ? ests of the rural land owners. j (i Hawaiian Check Returned ( ? f Honolulu, T. 11., April C.?Another f misconception of the status of the Ha- ^ waiian territory as a part of the Unu- < ed States came to light here w<tb the bank from the collector of internal c revenue at Washington, returning a 1 check on the bank, "because the Ha- ^ waiian islands are not in the Unite! j States." ? The commissioner's letter requested that "the matter be adjusted at once" and called attention to the fact that a check for any obligations to the United State must be "paid at par." The bank's reply, after commenting on the fact that.many financial institutions, especially along the Atlantic coast, have attempted to charge as high as 10 per cent exchange on checks payable in this territory on the ground that Hawaii is "a foreign country." "When we have pointed out that Hawaii became a part of the United States by Act of Congress in the year 1898, they have usually been willing to cash said checks at par," the latter said, adding that the war risk insurance bureau and the alien property custodian "have accepted our checks at par for years." The incident was similar to the experience of a Honolulu woman who attempted to cash in Baltimore a $2.r? check on a Hawaiian bank. The clerk advised her not to try to cash the document on the ground that the "exchange would be $12 or $13." "You know, Hawaiian currency has depreciated considerably since the war," he added, snpiently. Another person, residing in Kansas City, also is ignorant of the fact that llawaij is not. a foreign country but part of the United States, according to a letter received by a florist here who advertises on the mainland. "I am a stamp collector and would like to know whether you would sCnd me some stamps used in those islands," the Kansas man wrote. The florist sent two two-cent stamps with a note that they had been purchased "at the postoffice, Honolul, Territory of Hawaii, which contributed milions of dollars in federal income and other taxes to the support of the United States annually." Competition Keen Among Beggars Mexico City, April H.~ Derelicts of the race track, Americans who followed the ponies to Mexico City and then failed to win enough for car fare home, are making competition keen for their Mexican beggar brothers. 'turinc the dav lh<<v it??. main plazas of the city and waylay their more fortunate countrymen for the price of food and drink. They will camp by night at the race track where a kind management allows them to "hit the hay" free of charge but, handicapped by a lack of knowledge of Spanish, they are finding work difficult to obtain, even if they look for it. There is no organized j American charity in Mexico City to care for them. Subscribe to The Union Times.

The land is very wet yet, and little or no ei plowing has been done. But farmers can't help that. Some have done a ?reat deal at shrubbing off, and vari- | >' jus sundry things that need to be done n hut some say that they have done v nothing as yet. That is bad. _ The store of Jeter Bros.
