Feet Prints too
It seens to be a custom in Oklaho-
ma for those who seek office to call at-
tention to some fact connected with
their lives to prove their fitness for the
office to which they aspire. One fellow
who wants to go to Congress says, in
support of his claim for public confi-
dence and support, that he was once a
small freckled-faced boy and played
with a big dog down on the river bank
and, tho' the dog has long since gone
to where all good dogs go, he still cher-
ishes the memory of the dog. Another
fellow who also wants to hold down a
seat in the national house of represen-
tatives, calls our attention to the fact
that at the opening of Oklahoma to
settlement he successfully engineered
a big team of oxen across the trackless
plains, finally locating on a quarter
section down on the Qupaw, where has
since resided and grown to congression-
al size. Now comes a young chap
who wants to be county attorney of
Lincoln county and calls the attention
of the people to the fact that at the
opening of Oklahoma his mother caried
him into the Territory and laid him
down in a dugout, from which he, with-
out outside help, finally dugout and
went to school and received a licence
as a lawyer a year before he graduated
as a lawyer, in 1912 —a most remark-
able achievement, as we will all admit
And so:
The lives of these great men
Doth remind us
We can make our lives sublime
And departing leave behind us
Foot-prints on the sands of time
1, two, would like to hold the job I
now have for another term, and will
call attention to the fact that with my
number tens, without sox, (number
elevens with sox) I have succeeded in
making a few foot-prints on the sands
of time. My mother carried me out on
the plains of the territory of Kansas
in 1853. Soon after this I began to
play with the dogs, a little later, I
drove four yoke of oxen attached to a
24 inch plow and helped turn the vergin
soil. A quarter of a century ago I was
admitted to practice as a lawyer in all
the federal courts of the United States
and in al the courts of Missouri, and
later in all the courts of Oklahoma and
18 months ago was elected, by the good
people of Lincoln county, their county
attorney. As such official I have made
a record to which cordially invite at-
tention, and if, from it, I am adjudged
worthy, I will greatly appreciate the
support of all good citizens for re
election next November.

To the voters of Lincon Co.
1 notice that George T. Castle
who formerly lived in Morgan
Co. Kentucky is a candidate for
register of deeds of Lincoln
County Oklahoma. Mr, Castle
was for a term of four years
deputy county court Clerk of
Morgan Co. Kentucky, the duties
of which are practically the same
as that of register of deeds in
Oklahoma, and without solicita
tion from him, I desire to say he
was in every way efficient and
was a prompt, careful, honest
official. I was associated with
him in the office and know that
he would make a good official.
I have known him for thirty
years, and he has always been a
moral, honest and upright c<tiz
en. No better in the county.
He belongs to as good a family
of people a* lives in this county,
and if elected in your County.
I can assure you that you will

Anniversary Week
The first of the series of ser-
vices to be held in connection
with the Anniversary of the
Dependent Childrens home will
occur in the Christian church
tonight (Thursday) when Rev.
F. A. Daniel will preach a ser
mon. Other services will be held
throughout the week and Sunday
at the same place according to
the program already announced.
Sunday will occur the big basket
dinner at the home.
These services will be very
largely attended by people of the
Nazarene denomination under
whose auspices the home is con-
ducted and many are expected
from a considerable distance.
Some of their strongest men are
to speak at the various services
and all who are in sympathy
with the work of tlie Home
should attend all meetings possi-
ble. This institution meets the
hearty support of the commun-
ity and all good people every-
where and should receive en
couragement at every hand.
fact that it had been taken from
Dick Harry of Creek county.
Harry was in town Thursday
morning and identified the ani
mal so Bruner will probably
have to answer to a graver ac
cusation than stealing chops.
There was a reward of $25.00
for the capture of the thief so
Jake Young who made the ar-
rest will be ahead that amount.
Some Fine Oats
Returning from dinner Thurs-
day we found standing be the
office door a magnificent bundle
ot oats to which was attached a
note reading:
"This bundle of oats was
grown on the farm of F. A.
Mitchell, one mile southwest of
Davenport. These oats were
sown the last of February and
were harvested this week. The
land was prepared for sowing
by double disking and drilling
2 bu. of oats per acre. One half
the land was drilled twice with
one half the amount of-seed each
time. The other half was only
drilled once with the full 2 bu.
per acre. The yield is the same.
These notes were made by S. S.
Shipley, a c<. rrespondent of the
Afiiiculturial Department at
Washington."
