OK IN THE MOVIES A RGILL-JOHN STON CargUl and Johnston are the (wo leading candidates for the nomination for governor in the Democratic primary Tuesday, August 3, according to advance information froni political prognosticators.

It looks like their predictions are well founded One or the other is all that remains to tell the story of the race is what we would say if our political opinion were to be solicited. Messrs. Cargill and Johnston have spoken to aim ilar sized crowds, the former visiting our town about two weeks before Mr. Johnston spoke here Tuesday night. The political pot in this race is boiling but the contents are apparently clean, the slime of politics which has characterized so many previous campaigns having been skimmed from the kettle.

Such seems to be the case generally in Oklahoma at the present time. DUTCH MILLS ITEMS If a man makes good ns a super he may get a minor pint. If he mirkes good in minor part he may be selected lo play a "lend." If he makes good as a player of leads he may become a stur. If lie makes good ns a slar he may become Ills own producer. If he makes good as Ills own producer lie may abandon the commercial field nnd devote his talents solely to millloii-dollar-aiid-up productions.

If he makes good at that, lie will soon be In a position to take unto himself a newer nnd better wife; buy the place where he was born and present It home town as a memorial, and call on Will Hays without minting an appointment.

Old Hawaiian Custom of Birth Celebration In years gone by the, Hawnlians, a primitive, nature-loving people, made gods mountains, trees and stones, or chlefR associated the birth of a child with a specltlc tree. A tamarind or a iioa tree was planted at the time a chief 's child was born, and grew to maturity with the child. On certain occasions the first fruits of young tree, coconut pulm by preference, were plucked by a son of the "alii." When an heir was born to the "Bill" the ceremonial drum was beaten at the temple and a sacred hula performed. 'One of these ceremonial drums, taken from a temple on Diamond head, In Honolulu, 1 of koa wood (mahogany) and nearly four feet high. eiichj are covered with sharkskin and tha sides decorated with human teeth.

As the great drum booms out Its message that a son has been born to the "alii," the people gather to offer sacrifices and propitiate the gods. A feast Is given by the chief and the se- cred hula-hula is performed. This sacred hula is more a historic pantomime than a mere dance, and IIB different from the hula-hula of today as a symphony orchestra la from Jam band.
