It seems that this thing has
been going on long enough, and

other improvements a street

next needed improvement.
The Independent office is will-
ing to start the thing with a
monthly subscription or we would
approve of the Town Trustees
spending a goodly share of the
$500.00 ,for street maintainance
in this manner.
What do you think about it
Mr. Business Man?
If you wish to make a public
statement about this matter
write it up and hand it to me
and I will publish your article.
We Have The Evidence
You have heard all kinds of
stories about the freaks of ex-
treme weather conditions; about
how it was so dry in western
Kansas that three year old bull
frogs drowned when a light show-
er fell; how when the wind was
blowing unusually hard it shelled
a crib of corn, blowing all the
cobs out thru a knot hole; about
it being so hot in the south seas
that the ocean boiled and cook-
ed lobsters thus furnishing cook-
ed food for some ship-wrecked
sailors; about it being so cold in
Alaska that a man's breath froze
*o fast that it sttangled him to
death, and other such stories.
Well we have one that will in-
terest Oklahomans and have tne
evidence in the office. We are
not going to ask you to believe a
word of this article, but c ome
and see for your self. Mr. S. P.
Ward handed us an ear of pop
corn Tuesday which he grew in
a small patch near his house.
Better than one third of the
grains on this ear have poyped
open due to the sun rays. Yea
s'r! we have the evidence.

Cushion's 2nd Team Defeats
Guthrie Team 5 — 6
Sunday afternoon the 2nd
team played a interesting game on
the local diamond with Furrow
and Co.'s team from Guthrie.
This game was a good one from
start to finish. In fact it was
! reported to us as the most in-
teresting game played on the
! local diamond this season. The
j teams were evenly matched and
'a real battle was staged. The
battery for Cashion was Rails-
| back and Paisley. Neither side
'scored in the first inning. At
! the close of the 5th the score
stood 3 and 3. At the close of
the 9th the score was 4 and 4.
In the first half of the 10th
Guthrie run in one score, mak-
I ing it r> and 4 in their favor.
| When Cashion went to bat in
the 10th Franklin and Bill Cool-
ey each made a score, making a
total of 6 and 5 in favor of the
local team.
Next Sunday this team will go
to Edmond where they have
matched a game there. This
team has had a hard time get-
ting their reputation establish-
ed and feel they and due a little
snpport from the local fani.
Coma out to the game and boost
the team. Lend your cars when
the team has to leave town and
the boys promise to return the
favor by playing real base ball
in the future.
Below we give a score card r*-
port;
