PATRONIZE
TULSA GOODS
BUILD UP SMALLER FACTORIES
BY INCREASED PATRONAGE.
BUY TULSA-MADE CIGARS
Where a Few People Are Now Em
ployed Many Could Get Work if
Tulsa People Are Wise. 1
The smaller manufaclurics in any
city have always been the best pac
ing and the most profitable, and have
done more to build up than all other
industries. A few small factories
scattered here and there over a town
advertise it as few things do, and give
it a name ami a fame over a wide ter:
ritory.
Tulsa has several such factories in
.different lines, and all are doing well
ami growing fast. She should li.ivq
and will have, many more, but until
then a great deal could be done by her
own people to increase the trade and
usefulness of those here.
Take for instance her cigar faetor-
' ies. Tulsa manufactures as good qual
ity cigars as are made anywheie. This
is stated by experienced cigar mak
ers and by experienced smokers. In
the Commercial club not long ago,
some gentlemen. wii smoko a good
number daily, Utsd' Unit the ones
made in Tulsa were as good as any
brought in from elsewhere, and it
le the case, why does not every citi
zen who smokes cigars buy them in
preference to others? As a rule we
patronize our other lu.inc industries;
wo buy home mado ice. Home mado ice
cream, home made bread; we palron-
' ize our own planing mills and foun
dries, why not patronize the home
made cigar, and make this ind i.-try
far more profitable than it now is?
It was stated in a meeting in the
Commercial club that the cigar fac
tories in Tulsa paid $000 monthly in
wages. On inquiry among the manu
factories it is found that the quantity
of home made cigars sold is iiifiuites
simal compared to the quantity of
other brands made in other towns.
This should not bo so. The number
of people employed, it was further
stated, is eleven, one cigar maker re
ducod this to seven. The samo man
said that if every cigar maker in Tul
sa smoked one home made cigar out
of 'every half dozen he bought, the
number of employes would be doubled,
and that if they all smoked nothing
but home made, a force of men run-
' ning into the hundreds could be. kept
busy.
We are all anxious to see Tulsa
prow, and wo are all anxious to in
weasc her dinner bucket brigade. The
best way to effect these desirable ob
jects is to patronize those we have,
ami let it be known that Tulsa pcoplo
land by their own. . If this is done,
factories will be seeking admittance
here, without asking for bonuses.
F.very lady whose husband smokes
hould see to it that the cigar in his
vest pocket was mado in Tulsa. Ev
ery girl whose sweetheart indulges in
rigars should coax him into buying
"Tulsa made." Everybody should en
courage the industry, for it means
more money in all other branches of
industry, better trade and better
times.
It is wise while trying to secure
other factories for Tulsa to assist in
bringing them by patronizing those
if c have. Our slogan should be " Tul
sa made goods for Tulsa people."
Tbo above remarks apply to dealers
as well as smokers. They should en
courage the salo of tho home made ar
ticlo and recommend it where they
can conscientiously do so. They would
. An so, it is believed, Vcre the article
in demand. Let us make it in de
mand. .
AIPINQ STATEHOOD.
Letters Favorable to the Cause Being
Sent Oat
L. K. Cone is in receipt of many re
plica to tho letters being sent out by
him in the interests of statehood.
Nearly all of these letters are of one
trend willing and anxious to aid Ok
lahoma and Indian Territory to get
statehood.
The following is one of the many
favorable let tors received by Mr. Cone
from the big concerns of the oast:
Dear I- : i liavc your favor of
tlif l.'ith inst., niid I am enclosing herc
willi a copy of a communication vc
arc- forwarding lo each of llio Iowa
congressmen, on tho subject of stale
hood for Oklahoma, We are getting
this off this afternoim, and hope that
it will lie in time to add our little
mile of inllueuce towards accomplish
ing what you are after.
Very truly yours,
ROBERT I. SAFELY,
Cedar Rapids, la., .Mar. 1."). ,
I Ton. Robert Cousins, Washington.
My Dear Sir: Wheras, the terri
tories of Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory are applying for statehood in the
United States of America, and,
Whereas, a bill has been introduced
in congress granting them statehood,
and
Whereas, many of the citizens of
those territories, amongst them many
eminent and prominent eitizens of Ce
dar Raj lids, were former residents of
the state of Iowa,
Therefore, the Cedar Rapids Com
mercial Club, throifgh its Hoard of
Directors, hereby requests and urges
upon you,' as a representative of this
state, to use your endeavor to bring
about favorable action on this bill
regardless of action to be taken on
behalf of other applicants for stale
hood, the Club believing that such ad
mission to statehood would be mutual
ly advantageous to the people of the
United States and the territories nam
ed, and great benefits -woudl accrue
to our former citizens, to which we
feel that they are justly entitled.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) A. II. NEWMAN, Pres.
CAUTION.
The patrons of the post otlice arc
earnestly requested to lock their boxes
and keep them locked to prevent hav
ing their letters stolen and destroyed.
We have suffered at least two rob
beries of this kind very lately. Some
time Saturday night seven boxes were
robbed that we know of, as a portion
of their contents were picked up on
tho side walk near the Christian
church, brought lo the office and hand
ed to one of our clerks. On examin
ation of those brought in, wo found
they all belonged in boxes, and be
longed to seven different persons.
Will the party who found the let
ters please call and give me the par
ticulars of the finding.

ED HUH I Wil
I Mil I! ARREST
LAST NIGHT AT HIS HOME ON
BOULDER AVENUE.
RELEASED UNDER BOND
Of $100 Accused Man Claims Charge
Against Him False and That He
Can Prove It. j
Strange rumors have been circulat
ing over town today to (he .effect that
Ed. Rul ledge had been arrested at his
home last night on the charge of hav
ing forged checks to a large amount.
In an effort to obtain the facts in
I he ease, the World man heard many
iiuierent stories.no two alike, ami una -
ally we'nt to the house, whero to his
surprise he met tho gentleman, him
self, who gave his version of the inci
dent and explained the foundation of
the reports.
Mr. Rutledge, who has been re
cently employed by tho Mutual Life
Insurance company, had a contract
with the company whereby they guar
anteed him $40 per month against tho
commissions lie would make by writ
ing insurance for them. Ho says he
went to work, but did not succeed in
doig business enough to cover even
the $40 per month, and they caused
his arrest for embezzlement. He is
out on $100 bond, and says ho can
prove his ciiso satisfactorily when it
conies ivp for trial Saturday next.
This is Mr. Rutledge 's story, and
as his bond is for so small an amount
ii is evident the lalk about "forgery
to a large amount" is not true. .

NAMES OF JURORS.
Indian Territory Courts Do Not Per
"mit Publication of Their Names.
Muskogee, I. T April 5. Indian
Territory courts do not permit tho
names of jurors made public until
the day they are empaneled. This
policy was decided on as soon as the
courts found that as soon as a jury
selection was announced, persons hav
ing cases in court immediately got
busy trying to influence them in their
favor. A ease of this kind eamo un
der observation in Muskogee not long
ago. A juror was one of tho defend
ants in a ease on tho docket. As soon
as it was found that ho was a juror,
the petition was withdrawn so as to
lenvo the juror out as a defendant, so
that he might be one of the jurors to
try this case in which ho was himself
a defendant. Such things ns this have
caused entire juries to bo dismissed
summarily in this district.

but they are all thoroughly reliable.
The exact date of the removal is not

While Hie shops are not so large,
their removal hero will be of great

trainmen. The plan is to make Tulsa
the central point between Kansas City
and Fort Worth. When the shops are
established here, they will be enlarged
