PROHIBITION FIR EAST SiOE
The Supreme Court of the |
United States on Monday hand
Jed down a decision in the Webb'
lease that put the lid on over the
t old Indian Territory part of the
state for 17 years longer.
The court held that federal
phohibition of the transporta
tion of intoxicating liquor into
eastern Oklahoma or the old
Indian territory was still ef-
fective and that persons con
victed o f importing liquors
should be liable to the same pun
ishment administered before
statehood. The Supreme Court
maintained that the enabling
gave Oklahoma the right to re
gulate purely interstate liquor
traffic, but maintained that the
federal government still had
the right, it being the original
and real guardian of the In
dians, to enforce the clause|
SURE OF FEED
Farmers Are Reminded That
They Should Plant Kaffir Corn
John Fields, editor of the Ok-
lahoma Farm Journal, sends
out the following appeal to the
farmers and business men of
Oklahoma:
'•Present conditions call for
speedy action if a repetition of
last session's shortage of feed is
to be prevented. Notwithstand-
ing your good work during the
past six months, the acreage of
kaffir corn planted to this date
is not sufficient. A few good
rains in April and May caused
thousands of farmers, and many
of you to conclude that this is to
be a good corn year."

admitted that he is an agnostic,
but he publicly took up subscri-
ptions for a paper which he
will shortly begin publishing
and in which he proposes to
assail the preachers, who oppose
socialism, tell the people why
he is an agnostic and advocate
socialism.
Strange as it mav seem, it is
nevertheless true, that when
ever Clark assailed the church
and proclaimed his disbelief
in the bible he was greatly ap-
plauded by his numerous fol-
lowers in the big audience.
Mr. Latimer, of this City was
notified by telegram of the sud-

message announcing her death.

were present, but John W. who
did not reach there until the
morning after her death,
