THE TALIHINA TRIBUNE
Wheat Yields Reports Extraor-
dinarily Heavy.
When one hears of Individual wheat
yields of thirty-five to forty bushels
per acre, there Is considerable Incre-
dulity, but when yields, In whole town-
■blps extending Into districts covering
three and four and five hundred square
miles In area, of upwards of fifty and
■one as high as sixty-five bushels per
acre are reported, one Is le4 to put
his ear to the ground to listen for fur-
thor rumblings. The writer having,
heard of these wonderful yields made
• trip through the provinces of Mani-
toba. Saskatchewan and Alberta, to
ascertain first hand their truthfulness.
It was remarkable to discover that
Dame Rumor was no rumorer after all,
that modesty was her mantle, that
all that had been said of these ytilda
was true, and that yields of over jev-
•nty bushels per acre wore told of.
Thesi! were so high that the truthful-
ness of the story was doubtful ant]
very little was said of them. But
auch there were, and not In one ln-
atance, but in several, not in one lo-
cality but scattered in places hun-
dreds of milos apart. Leaving these
out altogether, there were large areas
In which the average was over fifty
bushels per acra, which In all com-
mon sense ought to satisfy most peo-
ple. One hundred and thirty thresh-
ers In Alberta have made their re-
turns to the local government as re-
quired by an act of the Legislature,
and the average of the wheat threshed
was fifty-three bushels to the acre. So
Immense was the yield that official
verification was required before giving
It out to the public. Sitting In the
amoklng compartment of a day coach,
where on passing through a farming
community, there may be gathered the
gossipy yarns of the neighborhood,
one hears also a lot of news. Just
now, the sole topic is that of the
crops. A man with more or less of
a hirsute appendage, smock, clothes
and bands giving the appearance of
one working In the field, was asked
as to the crops. He had got on at
Warner, Alberta. Taking out his pipe,
lighting it and then crossing his knees,
holding his chin In his hands, pos-
sessing an air of supreme content
meift, and with an intelligent face, he
looked the man who could give some
Information. And he was just the
man. He was a thresher and on his
way to Milk River to secure some
more help. He was requisitioned for
Information. "Yes, a good season,
I've made a lot of money. As for
yields, let's gee," and then he began
to string them off. "Peterson had 83
bushols of wheat per acre on his five
hundred acre farm; from 380 acres
Boland got 65 bushels per acre; Bu-
gler had one hundred and ten acres
that went 63 bushels; Carr bad 66
bushels per acre oft an eight hundred
acre field." And he gave others run-
ning from 58 to 66 bushels per acre.
All these people lived east of War-
ner, Alberta. Looking out of the win-
dow and seeing Immense fields, still
covered with stocks he was asked
why they were not threshed, he re-
plied that there were not enough
"rigs ' In the district, and that they
would not get through before Christ-
mas.
An American writing of a trip he
made through Western Canada Bays:
"I went as far west as Saskatoon,
back to Regina, Moose Jaw, and down
on the Soo line, and I must say that
I never saw such crops, or ever heard
of anything to compare with It in
any country on jarth. The country
Is over the hill, and certainly the farm-
ers have a lot to be thankful for.
There are very fow of them tha^
have done their work and dope it
properly but what have their debia
paid and have bank accounts left."
And he only traveled the skirt of
the country. The same story could
be written of any part of any of
three Provinces.—Advertisement.

Woe Proof.
"What a cheerful man he is."
"Yes, Indeed. You can't tell him a
hard luck story that will rob him of
his smile."

Under a decision just handed down
by the state supreme court the South-
western Surety Company (recently
merged with the Southern Suprety
Company, and carrying the latter's
name), is held liable on a bon^ given
In behalf of the Prudential Loan and
Trust Company, an Oklahoma City In-
stitution that on May 1, 1912, became
Insolvent and unable to fill its con'
tracts.
The case arose in the district court
when J. llamsey Davis, and others,
through their attorney, L. H. Pritch-
ard, sued the Predential and the
Southwestern Surety Company asking
Judgment on a bond isued by the lat-
ter in behalf of the Prudential com-
pany. The decision afreets ninety-
seven other suits against the defend-
ants Judgment for which now will be
given by the district court, aggregat-
ing about $18,000.
Officers Indicted.
The Prudential Loan & Trust Com-
pany which was organized as a buin
ing and loan association in Oklahoma
City sold contracts instead of build-
ing and loan stock. While actiug as
such, the banking department of the
state of Oklahoma required it to give
a bond in the sum of *20,000, which
was made by the Southwestern Surety
Company of Denison.
The Prudential became insolvent In
1912, when a receiver was appointed,
and its affairs wound up. Later the
principal officers In the company were
Indicted in federal court—J. K. Wil-
son, Oscar Bentley and a man named
Downey.
Suit was then brought by about 100
contract holders or stockholders in the
company against the surety company,
the test case tried and a decision rend-
ered in favor of the claimants by Judge
G W Clark. The surety company ap-
pealed the case to the supreme court,
which now affirms the decision of the
lower court, holding the surety com
panv liable to all of the partus who
had'dealings with the defunct Pruden-
tial company.
Company's Contention.
The surety company contended that
the Prudential was not doing a strict"
1\ building and loan business and did
not issue its capital stock to these
parties; that the bond which they gave
to do business as a building and loan
association would not protect these
persons who had bought loan contracts
Instead of corporute stock as ordinar-
ily issued by building and loan asso-
ciations.
Another Chapter In Anti-Vice Crusade
of Sapulpa Paper.
Sapulpa.—O. S. Todd, editor of the
SapuTpa Herald; Judge R. C. Allen,
Creek tribal attorney at Muskogee, and
John Q. Ellinghauser, a prominent law-
yer of Sapulpa, were arrested on a
charge of criminal libel preferred by
Former Probate Attorney Nat Ligon,
who recently resigned his position to
take up private practice. The basis
of the charge is an article that ap-
peared in the Herald about the com-
ing of age of Sophia M. Boling, a
wealthy Indian girl, wno sold her lease
to parties other than the company that
had been operating it during the mi-
nority.
The Herald charged that Ligon re-
ceived $10,000 and that the deal was
accompanied by refusing the former
company any opportunity to see the
girl though officials were trying to of-
fer her more cash than given by the
successful lessee. Nat Ligon, while
probate attorney under Judge Allen,
helped save the girl's property fifcm
the hands of her notorious father, Fox
Boling. and the present action of Ligon
was characterized as "double crossing"
and using knowledge gained in the gov-
ernment service to defeat the interests
of the government's ward. Ligon
avers that he did not get $10,000 and
sues the paper, *is former superior and
Ellinghauser, attrmey for the unsuc-
cessful bidder' for the property, for
libel. Each of the defendants made
bond.

Arrested On Depew Bank Charge
Pierce Company To Tap Healdton.
Ardmore.—The Pierce Oil Corpora
tlon is soon to enter the Ilea,^t0°
field with a six-inch pipe line, which
will connect with their big refinery at
Fort Worth. The plans are practically
complete, the only obstacle at 'fc
present time being the getting of con-
tracts for oil at the market price.
Some six months ago the Pierce
people contracted with the Magnolia
Pipe Line Co., for 5,000 barrels of oil
a day, for a year's time, at the then
market price of ?0 cents at the field,
or B0 cent* delivered.
Tulsa.—Robert Cummings, 45, own-
er of two ranches neal Bixby, in Tulsa
county, was arrested with Ben Drls-
coll, and lodged In the county jail at
Sapulpa on a charge of robbing the
First State Bank of Depew of $4,000
The arrests were made by Sheriff Lew
Wilder of Creek county, E. A. Wesner,
one of his deputies, and C. N. Wilder,
city marshal at Kiefer. Cummings
and Drlscoll deny any connection with
the robbery. Attorneys have been se-
cured for Commings and efforts are on
foot to have him released on ball.
Tha robbery of the Depew bank oc
curred when two unmaaked men en
tered the front door of the bank and
ordered the bank officials with several
customers into the vault at the point
of revolvers. After the cashier and
others had been herded in the vault
the robbers attempted to fasten the
door but were unsuccessful.
Oklahoma City.—Governor Williams
sends out the following appeal for
Belgian relief:
Three millions of men, women and
children must be clothed in Belgium
and Northern France If they are not
to perish with the cold of winter,
whose rigors have no less terrors for
them than the anguish of war.
If these people are to be clad, it 1^
plain that the United States must go
to their rescue. To this end, the
Belgium Relief Commission of the
United States is making a frank ap-
peal to the nation, asking for money
to buy new material! and articles of
clothing.
The commission is very emphatlo
In its request for new clothing, owing
to the drastic sanitary laws laid down
by the governments through whose
territory we must pass in order to
reach the sufferers. Not that the des-
titute people of France and Belgium
would not be Intensely grateful for
partially worn or second hand gar-
ments, but they would not be permit-
ted to receive them.
With the exception of shoes,
sweaters, caps and knitted underwear,
unmade materials are preferred, for
industrially paralyzed France and Bel-
gium Is sitting with idle hands as well
as aching hearts. From millions there
goes up the cry every day, "Give us
something to do, something to work
upon—so that we may contribute to
our support." To send unmade mater-
ials Is, moreover, an economlcarmeas-
ure, for the poor of those countries
know how to cut many a cftat out of a
given p'ece of cloth, and to utilize the
scraps in patching their own old
clothes.
An effort is being made through the
Oklahoma committee which is headed
by Gov. Robert L. Williams, to secure
large donations to ship to Europe at
Christmas time. Local committees
will be appointed in the larger cities
and towns of this state to work in con-
Junction with the state committee.
