The latest is that Oklahoma
and Tulsa counties are looking
to Lincoln county for pointers as
to advancement methods. Don't
be surprised if should the" ask
to he annexed to Lincoln county
that their citizens may get into
closer touch with our own and
absorb some of our good doct-
rine of development. It doesn't
seem to us that we are doing
things remarkable. It is just
the off-throwing >f enterpris
ing citizens.
The Daily Oklahoman wants
a picture of the family winning
the prize for rawing the greatest
variety of eatables upon their
farm for family and stock use.
The paper also wants a nice
story about the family and their
methods in raising the eatables.
Mr. Johnson who offers a prize
of 1100 for these proiucts also
offers to pay for this picture. He
will give the story about them.
Then in the Sunday edition we
will he read about in every state
in the union except one.
The Tulsa World wonders why
not have such good things in
Tulsa.
Well we are all together.
None of us are booming Okla-
homa. We are just giving a
recital of facts.

ganisation will web and touch

the atmosphere.
There is still moisture in the soil
Our Lincoln county farmers
fully understand that4hey must
continue rapid shallow cultiva-
tion. They will keep an earth
mulch by shallow cultivation.
By so doing they will retain
what moisture there is in the
soil. The cotton plant has nev
er disappointed the farmer and
will not this year. Cultivation
is food for the cotton. The men
who raised the best cotton last-
year are the ones who cultivat-
ed until the last of August.
Col. E. E. Massey who brought
the first bale of cotton into Dav
enport last year was cultivating
behind the pickers. This year
we will cultivate until the boll*
open. Squars are now forming.
Before this goes to press there
will he plenty of blossoms. We
have seen many fields of the
best cotton this year that we
ever saw. We feel proud of our
cotton demonstrarors. They are
getting results. One girl of 14
years has plowed the ground,
planted, cultivated and chopped
her two acres of cotton. I' is a
beauty cotton patch.
A boy has an eye V> business.
He has an ideal cotton plot <>f
about two acres. He will some
day be a member of the board of
county commissi pers^s he does
good work at small expense.
He realizes that the sweep is the
cheapest tool for cotton and the
hoe is the most expensive.
One man is using fertilisers.
Even a stranger tell to the
row where fertilisers were used.
This is one of the most import-
ant demonstrations m the coun-
ty One boy is in the c-orn con
u>st. Prospects not very good
but he says he will be in the
game with cotton and corn both
next year. He wants a free trip
to Washington autj lie wjll gee

and girls wrho want that trip to

Base Bail
Davei>port base ball team can-
not complain of its luck during
the past week, as they won two
out of three hotly contested
games.
The game Saturday was with
the Prairie View team and was
played on the Stroud grounds.
The score was 7 to 6 in favor of
the P. V's.
The Depew team arrived in
Davenport Sunday morning and,
as they had the whole day to re-
main, arrangements were made
for a double header. The first
game, played in the morning,
resulted 6 to 3 in favor of Dav-
enport and the one in the after-
noon 9 to 8 for the same team.
The latter game was one of
the most exciting ever played
on the home gi ounds The crowd
was a large on 3 although the
game was played in the east
park some di stance from town,
and although there is consider-
able local sentiment against

No Meeting
There was no meeting of the
board of town trustees last Mon
day night on account of no
quorum. The present board
has been a little better than some
former ones in respect to getting
oit to meetings but it seems
that their enthusiasm is on the
wane. Trustee Myers has a
a theory that the members
should be paid a small salary of
about 50 cents a meeting which
amount should forfeited on such
nights as the member failed to
answer to roll call, The plan
has some merit, and would, we
believe, help to remedy the
troubles the board has in getting
quorum on meriting nights,
Eight trustees are too many,
for a town the sjsje of this, any-
way, and most of the little
towns would welcome a change
in the laws .that would restore
the plan of electing only one
trustee from each ward.

A Good Rain
This immediate vicitity was
greatly relieved last Sunday
morning, about 2 o'clock toy a
refreshing rWV The govern-
ment gapge, at Chandler, show-
ed a fall of 7'4100 of an inch, but
it must have heen greater than
that h¥T£. While some of the
corn in this vicinity has been
severely damaged, there is gti"
some that wjll do Yew well.
Grass tha1 opemed dead before
the ruin, in becoming green now
and U is said that a little more
rain will assure much hay apd
good pastures. Cotton, c$ eom'Se,
is booming. mdV'-atKtUH, so
far. to the largest crop in
ye< i*>, not only on account of
the increased acreage, but oo c-;
count of the fine {jyc^vjng season
and the favoribjje weather for
tending. A" patton around here'
is cleaner than it has been, fori
many years.
Armstrong Out
Two jail birds, who have been
confined in the Howard county
jail here for some time, took
wing last night at some un-
known hopr apd at this writing
are stjij doing their beet to cod
tinu their flight. They may
not be making the speed of the
average skiyiator, hut its two to
one, however, that they are uo-
iny some. The two gentlemen
in ujuestion, Who have been
watching the rain clouds
through ateel lattice work, are
A. B. Armstrong and J, M.
Coley,both of whom ave charged
with the crime of swindling, but
who have, ttlnee their incarcera
tjoii, maintained they were in-
nocent and not the parties under
indictment. The scheme they
worked to gain their liberty
seems to havo been the old me-
thod of sawing an iron bar of
their cell and bending it so as to
afford a sufficient opening to
crowd their bodies through. At
just what hour this all happened
is not kflovvn but is supposed to
have occured about midnight,
^t is believed that they received
outside assistance, as a ladder
that had evidently been raised to
a window to allow them to reach
the ground was this morning
found lying near the (jail. The
tracks of a huggy were also dis-
cernible near the jail.
Armstrong defrauded I. H.
Parks, the well fcnown jeweler
here, and also succeeded in
swindow# the First National
hank of this city out of #1.00 00.

"COME DOWN. BALDHEAD."
The fact that Eliza was angered
3,000 years ago when the children call-
ed out the above showi that bald heads
were as unpopular then as now. Gray
hairs may be a crown of glory. Not
so the bald head. To those who are
threatened with baldness we offer a
preventive—yea more, we claim tnat
many comparatively bald can onec
more have a good growth of hair.
Some years ago a medical mission-
ary treating a diseased scalp where the
hair had entirely disappeared was sur-
prised to note after a few weeks that
hair was growing thickly where the
healing lotion had been applied. After-
ward other bald-deaded people were
treated, with the result that in most
cases hair grew again. We have nam-
ed this preparation "Baldine." It
comes in crystal form at 50 cents per
box. We are so sure of its efficiency
that we will guarantee two boxes cost-
ing |t.00 to give you satisfactory re-
mits. If not, mail us the tops of the
boxes and we will return money at
once. Don't allow druggist to giveyou
something clue. A money order for
11.00 will cost you only 3 cents. We
gladly mail you, charges prepaie, on
receipt of price.
