BENEDICT REPUDIATES IIIS
OBLIGATION
One of the amusing things to us
In this camplign is to observe what
reasons Omer K Benedict is giving
why he should be elected governor
About the only reason he is giv-
ing it deems is because he has re
pudiated his solemn obligation that
ht took when he joined the K K K
A man who is big enough and
smart enough to cope- with all the
difficulties of a governor who does
not know when he holds hia hand up
and takes a solemn vow and doesn't
know what he is doing places him-
self In a rather pitiable position
Ile reminds us of a fellow who
signed a friend's note when he
'" thought thin friend was perfectly
good for the amount and that friend
was in a position to do him a lot of
good But this friend happened to
I a bad piece of luck and the in-
dorsee was called on to dig up and
now the indorsee throws up both
hands and says: "Oh I didn't un-
derstand that I would have to pay
that note I thought that man stood
high and he would take care Of it"
Benedict thought when he joined
s the K K' K it was a popular prop-
osition Thousands of men in Tulsa
where he lived were joining and men
from all parts of the state were
joining and that bird thought be was
' getting into a porlsr organization
- possibly having in mind making the
race for governor on the klan plat
But now the ' tables have turned
and this organization has become
very unpopular and Benedict sees he
has signed an obligation which
proved to be just the opposite to
what he had figured and now in the
face of a premeditated and well-eonsidered
obligation he is seeking to
repudiate the debt
- That bird says he signed the ob-
ligation and made the first payment
—but now he is trying to repudiate
- the obligation by saying he didn't
know what he was doing
What do you think of a man who
' big enough to be governor and
will sign an obligation- and then say
he did not know what- he was sign-
ing? - '
Men and women what do you
think of that sort of a man?
o
PENNSYLVANIA 'AND ILLINOIS
PROVE NOTHING
- Despite the efficacy of moneyed
' machinery in Pennsylvania ' and Jill-
nois politics which resultedin a mild
clamor against the primary election
system direct nomination of public
officials will continue The people
will not let rotten ' political bosses
' hurl this country back Into the abyss
of dirty politics no matter how many
millions were spent in two ' of 48
states ?
Apprehension over the nomination
of rare in Pennsylvania and Smith
in Illinois - is unnecessary It Is
doubtful if they will ever be seatell
In the United States penate should
they be elected If it evercomes to
a vote in the senate most senators
will ' remember what happened to
those senators who voted to seat
Newberry 4
Nor should the corruption ' coming
from these states influence the aver-
rge decent voter's ' attitude toward
the primary system Good citizens
who vote without charge now domi-
nate politics Some may claim that
the primaries have not eliminated
boodle Perhaps not but the pri-
maries certainly have made it harder
to buy the majority of voters than
to buy one crooked "boss"
The primaries have crippled the
arrogant boss who used to dominate
conventions whip office holders Into
line ' and juggle governmental af-
fairs to his own satisfaction That
' too is worth-while
The heavy rains did one good
thing anyway and that was to pre-
vent the circus from pulling off their
big show and carrying away $20000
pocket change with them which is
usually carried away by circuses
when they 'turn their ring-tail
monkeys loose in a county
No better rater can be found in
Oklahoma than is found in Tecum-
seh Good pure water is something
any town can be proud of and really
very few towns have it
Tecumseh can boast of good
schools which is the best asset any
town or community can boast of
No better place can be found to
rear a family than Tecumseh

T00 GOOD A MAN'
In the' political campaigns that
Oklahoma has known the people have
beard many and wondrous political
arguments Some have been logical
and some ludicrous while some have
been discreditable both to the parties
submitting them and the people ac-
cepting them It rema:ned for
Henry S Johnston however tu be
attacked on the ground that he is
too good a man to be elected gover
In spite of the oft repeated cry
that better men should aspire to of-
fice and be 'nominated for office
there are those who say Wit the man
from Ferry is altogether too good
While the number who seem to fear
his qualities of uprightness are of
course negligible there are a vocif-
erous few who say that a real good
man would not make a very Wood
governor—that a hard-boiled citizen
isbest fitted to serve the people in
the governor's chair
Few people will advance such a
plea and very few will be swayed
by it but the fact that such a puerile
argument is beard at all is a curious
commentary on Oklahoma politics
!fere we find sovereign citizens op-
posing a candidate because he pays
his debts tells the truth lives up-
rightly worships God helps his fel-
lowmen and stands four-square for
the finer things of lifel'he Daily

BUILDING UP OP SOILS IS
INCREASING cthp YIELD
By CARL WILLIAMS
Editor Oklahoma Farmer-Stockman
Not so long ago I remarked on the
fact that an average of 250000 acres
of Oklahoma land every year is be-
ing worn out abandoned and tune
back to weeds and brush
I thought it was a-'condition more
or less peculiar to Oklahoma and
suggested that it was due to poor
farming and the exhaustion of soil
fertility

nearly 20000000 acres of crop land
has been similarly abandoned In the
United State within the years 1920
to 1925 The department says that
the reason for abondonment was pri-
marily hard ene s aid that men were
driven off the farms because of their
inability to make a living on them
Peculiarly enough - at about the
same time comes another statement
from the government to the effect
The fuccessful farmer knows that
the mote he can produce an acre the
less will be his cost a pound or bush-
el or ton ' and he works to that end
In the older-settled states ' he has
learned about the value of manure
of lime and of legumes as aids to
permanent fertility and increased
yields Above all he has learned
about crop rotation and has proved
the unwisdom of eternally planting
the same crop on the same land
The colleges have -taught him for
example that a good system of crop
rotation is almost as effective as
manure or commercial fertilizer in
raising his yields an acre and that
a combination of the two is better
than either methud used alone
Dux to weeps ana DEUSII One illustration is enough In 1111
I thought it was a-'condition more nois corn after corn yielded 23 bush-
or less peculiar to Oklahoma and els per acre when not fertilized With

B Y FARM LIGH SING
The fa 4ic i!VJ has electric:ty
whEther Lein las o n farni lighting
ipIaLt or from Vv central station is
conircnted with possNlities for
mOney making vhien are oftentimes
overlooked
One of the ' mot important of
these particularly a this V'ason of
the year has to do with the poultry
flock The fact has been definitely
established that electric lights used
in the laying pens during the winter
season assist tremendously in in-
creasing winter egg production
Instances too numerous to mention
have Leen found where flocks 91
hens or pullets kept under electric
lights laid- just as bountifully as
hens ever did in the warm spring
months Farmers frequently declare
that where before using lights they
never had eggs to sell in the winter
now due to the use of lights they
easily get 50 to 75 per cent 'produc-
tion right through the coldest win-
ter months when eggs normally are
scarce and the price is high
Two or three different plans of
using lights are in common use
Probably the plan most generally
used is to begin with the lights in
the morning advancing the time a
few minutes each week until finally
the lights go on at 3 or 3:30 a m
No evening lights are used and the
hens go on the roost as usual
Under another plan the lights are
started a little later in the morning
and then are turned on for an hour
or two in the evening Of course
the evening light can be increased
and morning light omitted if that is
more convenient
Still another plan calls for no
morning or evening lights but the
lights are turned on from 9 to 10
o'clock in the evening and the hens
are given a lunch whict tides them
ever until daylight comes again
The lights can be turned on auto
matically in the morning either by
means of a commercial time clock or
by means of a ceiling pull switch
' with a stout string attached to a
flange on thewinding key of a good
alarm clock Evening lights of
course can be turned on and off by
an attendant and no automatic ar-
rangement is required
Of course plenty of good feed and
water must be provided along with
the electric li hts With this corn-
bination of feel and water and elec-
tric lights th poultryman or the
farmer even with a small flock can
be sure of extra eggs and extra profit
in an amount which will pay well
for the investment and the extra
care -
