Landed Himself in Jail.
Last week Kemper Parnell of Lex
to P. K. Bryan
of that city a terrible beating and
was arrested, fined and given a jail
sentence, the commitment papers be-
ing turned over to Deputy Sheriff
Wynne. The deputy turned them
over to Parnell, who came on to Nor
man, hired a cab, drove out to the
county jail and, presenting the com-
mitment papers so the jailer, suc-
ceeded in breaking into jail to serve
out his sentence.
FariEef!' Union.
The Farmers' Educational and Co
operative Union of America, which i jngton administered
has two thousand local unions in Ok-
lahoma and the In Man Territory, and
lodges throughout the south and west,
will begin an active fight against the
juggling of prices, by speculators, on
the 22nd inst. The date was selected
because of the Washingtonian spirit
of freedom that is sj strongly felt on
that day
A proclamation has been issued by
S. O. Dawes, the state president, from
Shawnee, declaring Washington's na-
tal day a Farmers' Independence Day,
and each local union will hold a meet-
ing and the scale of prices as deeided
at the national convention of farmers
held in Texarkana, Dec. 5, 1905, will
be read and adopted.
At the national meeting it was de-
cided that the farmer has the right
to price his own products; that such
price shall be uniform all over the na
tion, except as governed by freight
rates for moving to market, and that
no union farn-er should call for less
under any consideration
The following is from the ietter of
instruction issued to the members of
the union:
"In accordance with concurrence of
opinion, the delegates from all of the
states of the south and the west and
some of the northern states, agreed
on a schedule of prices and adopted
that schedule with a resolution call-
ing on every farmer in the United
States, and especially in the farmers'
unions, to hold thair farm products for
that schedule of prices and t > not sell
for less.
"The prices are herewith given and
you are earnestly requested to en
dorse them and pledge yourself by
resolutions to stand by them:
Wheat, No. 2 red, per bu $ 1 00
Corn, No. 2, per bu 50
Oats, No. 2, per bu 35
Potatoes, sweet or Irish 75
Cotton, middling per tb 11

Thursday Morning, February 15th.
1WILL commence the greatest low priced sale ever given in Norman. Having pur-
chased the stock of W. N. Rucker and wishing to make room for one of the best
Spring stocks ever shipped to Norman. I will make priccs where the wholesale cost in
many instances will be entirely ignored as following quotations v/ill clearly demonstrate:
Cattle, per cwt. alive $5 00 '6 00
"The plan as outlined to maintain
these prices is to sell any time you
can get them, and to refuse to sell
when offered less, regardless of mar-
ket quotations
"To aid in maintaining these prices
you are urged so organize a clearing
bouse in every fair sized town in your
county and to place a manager in
charge of it, to sell your produce for
you at the top notch of market quota-
tions.
"Have all the farmers make out a
list of the produce they will have to
sell and leave it with your manager,
as soon as he has a place to do busi-
ness in, then have him find a market
for this produce, and sell all jour pro-
duce through him. Arrange to Col-
lect a small commission say 2 to 5 per
cent on every dollar's worth of goods
for each farmer through the clearing
house, and place that commission in
a fund to pay the incidental expenses
of the clearing bouse, such as mana
ger's salary, rent of office, warehouse
and yards, setting up scales, station-
ery and advertising expenses, etc.
Such a clearing house, well conduct-
ed and conducted solely in the inter
est of the farmers, will soon extend
its usefulness and enable the farmers
to get the standard scale ot prices
that are here given and that must be
maintained. Do not sell for less.
"Get your clearing houie establish-
ed as soon as possibb ; send to your
state secretary for a pamphlet on how
to organize successfully and systemat- j
ically and begin at once to control the |
markets in jour own town, and you'll
soon control them all over the world.
"And with this foreword you are
once more urged to use your best en- j
deavors from now until April 1, 190ti, |
to get every reputable farmer of your j
acquaintance to become a member of j
this great industrial, educational and
co operative organization.

looking for trouble. Burch started
to run him down and tnet him and one

smashed him with his revolvei: then
White and the Wolf boy were I nded
in the city bastile and the battle of
bullets was over, with nobody l.urt I>y

These Indian boys seem to never
tire of stirring up trouble. They have
been arrested and lined time and time
again, but this seems to have no last-

A Country Scrap.
Last Saturlay night while
young men Chitwood and Hov
returning home from church ir
Ca pshaw neighborhood in their buggy
they were slopped on the road by
[Grover Fulkerson and Snow Downing
It tems th.-lt Fulkerson had made u|
his mind that Chitwood bad done l.im
a wrong and was due a good 1 rouiic-
ing. When the bugyy was stopped
Hoy got out and tried to play the part
of the peacemaker Hoy is a man of
about 25 years while Fulkerson :s a
boy of about IK years. Instead of se-
curing terms of peace Fulkerson
opened up hostilities on the peace-
maker and Hoy looked like he had
beei} run through a thieshing ma-
chine before Fulkerson got through
with him. Downing prevented Chit-
wood from interfering in the li^ht.
Constable Jim Piles chased E'ulkerson
I'ind Downing around over the sand
hills Sunday but Monday morning
Fulkerson reached Norman and sin
rended entering a plea of guilty and
was lined $7 00 and costs.
