OKLAHOMA Wheat
IS THE BEST.
NORMAN OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28 1900.
NUMBER 24
So says One of the Biggest
Commission Houses of
Philadelphia
WILLING TO PAY MORE
Oklahoma flour in Demand
at Higher Prices Than
Kansas Flour.
It is worth something to know how
home products are regarded away
from home. When tbe information
comes straigt, then you know it is
straight. Head this extract from a
letter of what one of the biggest
commission houses in Philadelphia
writes one of our leading millers in
Oklahoma in regard to Oklahoma
Hour.
"We do not want you to use any
Kansas wheat in the Hour you ship to
us. For some reason Oklahoma
wheat gives butter results in this
market. What little Kansas flour we
have had has given but poor satis-
faction. We ^would rather have your
Hour, made from your own state, at
20 cents a barrel more "
The quality of Oklahoma made
Hour lias been recognized all over the
country. A trial convinced the Phil-
adelphia house that it was the best
they could get, and they want more
of it. Merit stood the test and won,
as it aiways will in a fair competi-
tion. There is a "staying" quality
to the Oklahoma Hour that paves the
way for it wherever it goes, and it
creates a demand that puts all com-
petitors in second place.
In a way, Oklahoma people can
realize the value of their own pro-
ducts, but they can appreciate them
more when they know how they are
appreciated away from home. The
Philadelphia house, like many others
who have dealt with Oklahoma Hour,
realized the value of it, because it
created a demand—people wanted
more of it, and more people wanted
it—greater than any flour they had
ever used before.

mas evening at 8:00 o'clock at the

LET THE WAR GO ON.
The Oklahoman a Trust
Organ.
Boss Haskell, of the constitutional
convention has announced that in his
"New State Tribune" he will show
"Why the Oklahoman is not a demo-
cratic paper, and how it is a trust
organ." Recently the Editor of the
Oklahoman replying to Haskell, cal-
led him a liar and now Haskell has
his bristles up and coming. Don't
think he will have much trouble in
proving his charge against the Okla-
homan, but his own glass house will
look like a wheat riddle when he gets
through with his job. Let the war
go on.
Convention Notes:
Two Fatal Accidents.
Ed. Perdue, a young farmer living
near Kingfisher, was killed last Fri
day while endeavoring to repair an
old cave on a farm which he had re-
cently purchased. He had entered
the cave for the purpose of carrying
out some o'd boards and while he was
inside the roof fell in, crushing him
underneath it. He was not found for
some hours and had evidently died
from suffocation.
Louis Buckner, 17 years old, was
ground to pieces at the cement mill
near Okarche, in Canadian county.
He had been gent to the upper part
of the building to oil some of the
machinery. It is supposed that his
clothing caught in some way and he
was dragged into the machinery, his
body being fearfully mangled.
Ruined at Cards.
It was a little game of draw poker
that detained T. J. Rogers, a farmer
living in the country, in Pawhuska,
and it was a little game ot draw that
caused his anxious wife and little
ones to peer into the night and and
wonder why "daddy" did not come
home.
Just a little game for amusement—
just to spend the time—but Rog-
ers lost dollar after dollar as he slip-
ped it upon the green cloth and
someone else raked it in. Finally
Rogers' ready ca9h was all gone and
he commenced writing checks on a
comfortable bank account. This, too,
slipped rapidly away from him, and
finally staking all on a last desperate
chance, he wrote a check for every
dollar he was worth and staked it on
his hand—and lost.
He withdrew from the game a
man. He wrote two notes, one to
the bank stopping payment on the
checks, the other to his wife telling
her what he had done and what he
was going to do. The spectators and
gamblers knew what he had done but
were paralyzed with horror when he
drew a revolver trom his pocket and
there, in the presence of the gamb-
lers who had ruined him, shot him-
self to death, falling at their feet.
And still the wife and little ones
peered into the darkness, waiting
until the sad news came —Ex.
Joint Installation.
The W. O. W. and the W. O. W.
Circle will hold a joint installation
of officers at the W. O. W Hall next
Wednesday evening. All Woodmen
and members of the Circle invited.
Thanks! Thanks!
We most heartily thank
our many patrons, for
their liberal patronage.
By so doing you have
made our business a great
success.
Our aim will be in the
future to keep all our old
customers and gain many
more new ones.
Wishing you one and all
a Happy and Prosperous
New Year for "1907.
We are very truly yours
MEYER MEYER
Guthre, Olcla., Dec. 25,-XSpecial)
Most of the Indian Territory mis-
delegates are Christmasing round
about their cabins and wigwams by
shooting and loudly whooping.
Delegate Henry E. Asp could write
a pretty good constitution in about
three days if the jealous-hearted,
contemptible majority would permit
him to do so. £
It is predicted that tbe expected
location of the county seats will
cause great uproar and even tnob-
bish conduct in the convention bee-
hive.
The delegates will, perhaps, not
charge anything to the government
for their thirteen^ days recess if con-
gress fails to make another fat ap-
propriation for their special benefit.
It appears that the primary elec-
tion proposition will be hotly discus-
sed in the convention, Delegate Kor-
negay pointed out the possible
chances that bad men and tricksters
would have if the proposition, un-
amended, was adopted.
It doesn't become the democratic
majority to talk so much about the
common people ruling, when they so
abjectedly allowed Haskell and Mur-
ray to ride roughshod over themselves
and their constituents during the
county boundaries episode.
Several prospectors from the states
that happened to visit the constitu-
tional convention shook their heads;
some even 9aid that the outfit was a
"mixture of kangaroo court and
horse-play."
It is self-evident that the beastly
democratic majority of the constitu-
tion carpenters are giving the demo-
cratic party a black eye. The un-
savory report of their fool doings will
reach and open the eyes of those
that elected them before the con-
stitution will be adopted or rejected
at the polls.
The fifty words preamble is still in
the constitution hopper. The thing
is to be reconsidered and perhaps,
supreme ruler or divine providence
will be substituted for God Almighty.
The eyes and ears of thousands of
sharp critics have paid close atten
tion to the fellows that were sent
here to make a first class basis law.
The beastly majority has been weigh-
ed in the balance and found wanting
in good common sense and required
knowledge.
The Coweta hand of Muskogee In-
dians desired that their county and
county 9eat be called Coweta instead
of Wagoner, but the tricksters pre
vailed in spite of the Coweta fervent
prayers and Delegate Hausem's
graphic description of those Indians.
The Coweta's are getting up another
long petition for the redress of their
grievance. Mr. Hausem will, prob-
ably, make another streneous effort
to induce the convention to answer
the Coweta's ardent demand.
The counties boundaries and divisi-
on embroglio was passed and legally
passed just before the aggregation
adjourned for a thirteen days recess
The majority did one thing and the
journal was made to record another
happenig, and falsehood, which is con-
trary to law. It is expected that Mr.
Caudle, of Greer county, will return
loaded down with sharp curtain lect-
ures for Boss Haskell and Bill Mur-
ray. The county line* still hang 011
the gallows, but not quite dead or
alive.
The Editor Made Happy.
The editor of this paper was pre
seated with a line, thoroughbred
Rerkshire pig as a Xmas present by
W. II. Pickard. Don't know how Mr.
Pickard came to think of such an ac-
ceptable present. Such a pig was in
our own mind to secure for ourself as
a Christmas present. Mr. Pickard just
supplied our desire and we Indeed
lppreciate It and hope and wish for
him many happy Xmas times.
The Glad Day.
There is a glad day coming to the
farmers of these United States. It is
near at hand. The luminous sun of
its joyousness is already lighting up
the land. The Farmers' Educational
and Co-operative Union, scarcely in
fifth year of its existence, has
wrought the marvelous changes that
are bringing blessings to the homes
of farmers and gladness into the
hearts of its inmates.
The farmer is perfectly justified, in
striving by all honorable, just and
lawful means to rid himself of the
oppression and injustice that has
been so long depriving him of what
is his due—his own in fact. Throwing
off this yoke ray means of the Farm-
ers' Union and entering upon an era
of prosperity he will be doing a com-
mendable thing to surround himself
with the comforts and necessities and
the pleasant things of life. The
Farmers'Union is bringing this glad
day to you, oh, (farmers of this land,
and is breaking one by one the rivets
in the chains that have bound you
captive to the chariot wheels of the
greeds, the selfish, the soulless, the
unscrupulous worshipers of Mammon.
Just think of the new handsome
farm houses that will spring up as if
by magic throughout this country,
with their broad, well kept lawns,
their flowers and pretty hedges. See
the pictures in drawing rooms and
halls the books in the libraries; hear
the music of organ and piano. Be-
hold the comforts and conveniences
that make life comfortable and
brighter. With good horses, nice
carriages, a perfect rational enjoy-
ment of all the goods of this life that
God and His love and mercy has
given to us to enjoy, coveting naught
that is your neighbor's but rather re-
joicing with him in his good fortune.
Farms will be improved too. New
fences; the latest and best farm ma-
chinery; good stock, grain bins full;
the smoke house crowded; the large-
ness of the orchard and garden filling
the pantry; cream, milk and butter
in abundance in the milk house—
everything raised at home. And
this is not all. The public roads will
be made what they ought to be.
Wherever needed a school house,
with all the requisite apparatus, will
stand. Church buildings will be
erected and religion, morality and
education will uplift the land to loft-
tier heights of this twentieth cen-
tury.
The day of graft and the lust of
greed and the mailed power of money
rings and captialized syndieates, the
buccaneers of trade, is waning, and
the perfect day of honesty and jus-
tice and good will and truth is light-
ing up the horizon—the Farmers'
Union day, that is bringing gladness
and plenty and all that has been, but
feebly portrayed in the foregoing, of
prosperity and its good gifts. Just be
true to your manhood and true to the
principles of your order, and the vic-
tor's crown is yours, oh farmers of
this land, ye who are the salt of the
earth, the producers of the wealth of
the nation
Hail happy day!—Co-Operator.
Kissed the Wrong Woman.
W. E. Price and family arrived
from Texas last Monday morning
and will reside on Mr Pickard's
farm south-west of Norman. Mr.
Price is a son-in-law of Mr. Pickard.
In connection with their arrival in
Norman is a good joke 011 Mr. Pick-
ard, who was at the train to meet
them. It was quite dark when the
train pulled in and when the people
began getting off the Uain, Mr.
Pickard saw a lady with a child in her
arms get off an so sure was he that
it was his daughter that he ran up
to her threw his arms around her and
kissed her, afterwards making the
discovery that ho was mistaken as
to the individual. He made due
apology for his mistake and later
found his daughter and kissed her
too.

Grows His Own Fence Posts
A farmer of Custer county, lias
just harvested his first crop of fence
posts, and some years ago conceived
the idea that he could produce his
own fence posts and secured some
locust tree seeds. They were planted
and in time came up and grew. So
well did they thrive and with good
care afterward given them, that now
he has all the fence posts required
for Immediate use, and hundreds
more that will be ready shortly.
Many farmers of Oklahoma have
contemplated experimenting along
this line, but this is the first instance
in which the idea has been fully real-
ized.
Offerings for the Poor.
A number of families sent offerings
for the poor to the Rest Room last

clothing, etc. Thirty children and
twelve old people received gifts and
were made happy. One good lady
sent a complete box of dinner 011

thought they would have nothing
good to eat on Christmas.
