THE Booster Edition of the
Wichita Eagle was a dandy and
should be greatly appreciated by
the people of that city. It was
well patronized, and typographi-
cally was a gem, and the good it
has done the city cannot be esti-
mated in dollars and cents. The
Eagle is without a doubt the best
paper Kansas can boast of and is
always among the first to get
the news and give it out.
F e iff:
D. F. Castle
County Treasurer:
Chas. E. Ashbrook.
For Superintendent Public Instruction:
Mrs. T. L. Lillard.

THE citizens of Forker should
bear in mind the fact that the
Commercial Club will hold a meet-
ing in June and all are requested
to be present and the matter of a
Fourth of July celebration should
be acted upon and some kind of
appropriate affair fixed up as the
time is drawing near and such a
celebration would receive the
support of the many candidates
in the field as it would afford an
excellent opportunity for them
to get before a large number of
people that would otherwise be
difficult.
WHEN the woman likes her
next door neighbor it's a sign
the poor thing never has any
clothes.
IF Teddy is as bad as Taft says
he is, and Taft as rank as Teddy,
then the only safe thing for the
people is Gov. Wilson.
WE gather there will be no
intervention in Mexico until the
thermometer registers at least
102 in the shade.
IF our Uncle Sammy has to
make one more swipe into the
tribe of Montezumas there won't
be enough left to cook chili for
a railroad gang.
IF Gov. Harmon had a dawg
and were to take that pet animal
to Nebraska Mr. Bryan knows
with what sort of hospitality he
would be tempted to receive the
beast.
WE traded our straw hat this
week for a bucket of coal and
would like to collect a few de-
linquent subscriptions in order
that we might get o'>r overcoat
out of "soak."
IN Foraker, like every other
town there is a few who can be
found at almost any time sitting
around on the corner with not a
thing to do, not hunting for any-
thing, but manage to get along,
while on the other hand every
one is kept busy from morn till
night and apparently fare no
better. If an investigation were
started it is probable that these
who appear to be on "easy
street" have some one at home
who is making the living for
them while they sit around and
howl about everything in general
and say the country is going to
the dogs.

CANDIDATES in Osage coun-
ty are beginning to warm up and
before many moons the guns of
one of the warmest campaigns
this county has ever known will
be heard over the land.
MANY tables are now being
graced with all kinds of garden
truck but if summer continues to
make a failure in holding her
own it is probable that most
gardens will deliver their pro-
ducts in the fall.
MUSKOGEE is going to adopt
an ordinance regulating the
length of hatpins. We would
suggest they also specify the
number of buttons to be worn
on an evening gown, the proper
color hose and solicit testimonials
from those favoring the move.

Wool Raising in Osage
Is Profitable Business
A good shipment of wool went
from Foraker to St. Louis Thurs-
day when Henry Berns shipped
1422 pounds of this staple to that
market.
Sheep raising is one of the in-
fant industries of the great
Osage countrv and this shipment
was one of the many small ones
that go to the large markets.
Sheep fare well here and it is of-
ten wondered why a larger num-
b?r of them are not raised and it is
probable that some dav will see
small herds of sheep grazing on
the hills and valleys of this
country, those who have small
herds are now finding them to
be a profitable investment ard
requiring very little care.
Fine Cucumbers Shipped
Here From South Texas
One of the finest lot of cucum-
bers that ever met the gaze of
any eye were shipped into Forak-
er this week to Mrs. S. C. Buhl,
coming from southern Texas.
They were all good one and typi-
cal of the class of garden stuff
raised in that country and can
be seen at Buhl's store.
They were raised in the vicinity
of San Benito, which is down in
the irrigated district and where
the price of land ranges around
$2000 per acre, for tho irrigated
land and where the balance of
the land is not as good as you
can find in the poor districts of
any state, tat shows the good
brought about by irrigation.
There is not the least doubt
but what the lands of this coun-
try can raise just as good cucum-
ber or any other vegetables if
they are given the proper care.
