Okmulgee, Okie., July 20.—The
moon was danced out of the skies
Tuesday night by the Creek and
Seminole Indians.
Invoking the goSA spirit to pro-
tect them from thrones* which’
«rixes thpm when they eat green
I cbm, 500 brave* performed the
| | magic rites aa they swung and
swirled in a great circle. The cere
mony begun here Monday night will
continue until dawn Wednesday*.
Indian mythology has it that the
green ^coro dance ia a religious cer-
(emony and that long ago the red
men discovered that when the corn
in his fields became green enough
to be eaten an Illness invariably ov-
ertook him. Soon it was learned that
certain herbs and medicines could
prevent the sickness. From this
green corn sickness evolved the
dance and the religion.? ceremony.
Poctaelio, Idaho, July 20.—Beat-
ing of tomtoms'and the chanting of
the Bannock and Shoahone squaws,
furnishing the dancing time for the
remaining sixty braves of these
tribe* participating in the nncieflt
sun dance ceased at 2 o’clock Tues-
day afternoon. - ... %
Then tribal medicine men admin-
istered to dancer* They first re-
ceived a swallow of water from a
willow bark cup. Later they were
given additional water and a few
mouthfuls of food. Following thii
began a feast that will last another
twenty-four houre and the annual
sun dance will have become history.
To the Voters of Hopkins Coun-
ty; 1 will say that the people have
a right to select public servants
without dictation from corporations
or political rings, and in my recent
announcement I outlined to you my
platform from a business stand
point, and after you have had the
time and opportunity to read and
discuss these measures which I have
presented to you both through the
Wees and by circular, you will find
that I have not desired or attempt-
ed during this campaign to stir up
either prejudice or sentiment from
the standpoint of any issue whatso-
ever, but on the other hand, have
endeavored to run my race from a
standpoint of appealing to the hon-
est and sensible consideration, of all
the voters, and constituents of our
county.
I feel and believe that the duties
of the Stute Legislator are varied,
and that a practical FARMER and
BUSINESS man, with the past ex-
perience that I pohsess, would be in
a better position to look after the
interest of the people in our Legis-
lature than a. strictly professional
man.
If you have thus considered prop
ositions of your choice for this of-
fice on next Saturday, and if I am
your choiee, I promise and pledge
to you that it win be the greatest
act of my life to give to you the
better part or. in fact all of my life
in making for you an honest and
upright servant, pledging to you
that I will not barter the prestige
of the office, or hold myself subject
to the wishes of any political boss
or group, pledging the people an
honest, constructive and efficient
service.
Now let me say that my ambition
is to keep step with you, work in
harmony with you and do your bid-
ding.
Yours for service,
R. K. ATTLESEY.

That eloquent (isorgian, the I
Senator Thomas E.1Wat«on, said

her husband and her children, one
who is first to rise in the morning
and the last to retire at night, one
who is always at her post of duty
and who carries upon her shoulder?
the burdens of both husband and
children, one who is keeper of the

ers happy, with no thought of fuah

pathway of her husband and strew-

low upon which he resta his tired

rearing the boys and girls who will

Lubbogk, Texas, July 22—Prohi-
bition has played a large part in the
hotel business, and Mnce the days of
the long bars, changes have come
over the business, J. E. Bell, man-
ager of the San Benito Chamber of
Commerce, told the annual meeting
of the Texas Commercial Executives
Association here today.-'
“The modern hotel is ;*n essential
product of this age,” he said. “This
always has been true, as we realize,
if we consider the hotels and inns
of days gone by. When mft|, traveled
by horseback and stage coach, the
inn marked the end of their day’s
journey. From these inns there ra-
diated a genial hospitality, and to
this day an atmosphere Of romance
clings around the memories of the
did taverns of several generations
aff°- But w|th the coming of swifter
means of travel, the inn degenerat-
ed. There came into being the hotel,
in tno many cases merely a word to
apply to a few rooms run in connec
tion with a barroom.
“In small communities, in partic-
ular, the owners of these small ho-
tels cared little or nothing about
their comforts of the guests, or
whether they made any money from
the rooms or meals, the bar being
the big money producer. Within the
past few years, and since the war
in particular, the hotel problem be-
came a difficult one, This change
came about primarily on account of
two things—the 18th Amendment
and the increased travel brought
about by better roads and eheaper
and more speedy means of travel.
The modern hotel resulted.
“When the bar was officially ta
ken away, many of the so-called ho
tels could not exist. This left hun-
dreds of communities with no ac
commodatiops or with very Inade-
quate ones. At the same time, the
new high standards of living prompt
ed those who traveled to demand
better service. Hotel men every
where recognised the possibilities of
this situation. The building and op-
erating of the modern hotel became
a specialized science, and is being
made more efficient every day.
There sprang up specialists in de-
signing Tlf modern hotels and very
soon there came into being special-
ists in operation. The question now
was npt to build or to run the mod-
ern hotel, but how t get it.
The problem of getting a hotel
evolved very satisfactorily in some
communities; especially in the lar-
ger cities there is always a very-
wealthy man or group of men who
would put up the money to build a
Tiotel. This is still being done, but’
the number of men who are doing
it is relatively small in comparison
with the number of town? with the
need.
"Another method was evolved and
this consisted in paying a large
bonus to some one who would get
out and hustle around to get enough
money in addition to the bonus to
build some sort of hotel, in most
cases this did not prove very pjwc-
tical because the citizens who put up
the bonus could expect no retu-ti
from their money and becaus» ;a
many cases there was no assuranc*
of their actually getting a hotel.
"Another method was to raise a
little money from a few persons and
then place a large mortgage on the
hotel. This has usually assured ,r.e
hotel, but was hard on the holder?
of stock who could have no po* rive
expectation of any returns, or at
best very small returns upon the
money they had invested. This made
necessary « more modern, more
practical method of procuring a hd-
tel. The answer to this search w h
the community hotel. financed,
owned and carried by the progres-
sive local citizens.
“It is-common knowledge that the
modern hotel is a money-maker. It
is safe to say that this is always
true, provided the hotel is properly
designed, properly located, effi-
ciently operated and financed in a
real business-like manner. The fin-
ancing part in most communities
presents the greatest problem.
Since this is a problem, specialists
have evolved way* and means of
solving the problem.
“Most of the work in connection
with the modern hotel financing on
the community plan has been done
to date under the supervision of the
Hofkenbury System, Inc., of Harris-
burg, I’a. The work of this com-
pany consists in advice, direction
and counsel, from the time the idea
of the need of a modern hotel first
arises, in * community until the
doors of the new hotel are thrown,,
open.
“The plan is to work entirely
with the cooperation of the local
business men and with the support
and assistance of the local chamber
of commerce. No project is under-
taken until1 a thorough and exhaus-
tive survey of the local situation
«n! needs has been made by this

“This survey is made entirely
