PROSPERITY IS HERE.
It doei one good to travel over Bea-
ver county this jear. Miles and miles
of kafllr mllo maize cane broomcorn
fcterlta and row crops spread out be-
fore you in grand panorama that signi-
fies nature bountiful and tho long
rows of wheat and straw stacks on every
hand show that Beaver county is
the leading county of tho southwest
People who had become more or less
discouraged in tho past have now tak-
en their farms off the "for sale" list
and have given up tho notion of going
back to live with their wife's relatives.
Not'only have wo got. the crops this
year but the farmers havo learned
sevoral things about taking caro of
them and conserving the feed Btuff for
years when it may nolbn so plentiful
Silos are being dug and built in every
direction from LaKemp nnd quite a
number are figuring on buying young
stocks and some hogs this fall which
will make a cpmblnatinu hard to beat
if one wants to make n success of fann-
ing. The only black cloud on the hor-
izon I' the ecarcety of help at this
time but if we have- a late fall the
frost will catch but very little Btuff In
the field. Threshing will not be over
before Christmas tho way things look
now and therd will be plenty of work
for everyone all winter. Quite a Httlo
plowing and listing is being done at
"present which'is a mighty good ides
as resu is 1 1 h s co intry have shown
summer plowing to bo the thing for
wheat. If the prioe of wheat will only
continue to climb for tho next two
months as it has for several weeks the
country wilt be englutej in a wave of
prosperity that has never been equaled

The Chicago Journal editoriftlly com-
ments on the probable effects of the
European War on Woman Suffrage
The Journal says: "The Ions and suf-
fering which this war is bound to mi-
tall will bo a powerful argument for
peace and for the entry into politics
of the sex which can be depended upon
to use itH influence for peace. If Eng-
land emerges from this war victorious
it would seem almost certain that
English women will gain the ballot.
French women are reaping tho nation'
harvests doing as much of its factory
work as possible keeping tho wheels
of industry turning somehow while
their husbands brothers and 'sons are
at tho tnt Win or lose it seems
probable that tho cause of political
equality is bound to gain in France
from the war."

WHAT JOHN FIELDS WILL DO FOR
OKLAHOMA.
John Fiolds was asked by a group of
farmers at Wewoka what he intended
doing when he became Governor In
bringing about beneficial changes lu
State affairs. "I am going to do the
same things that any of you good farm-
ers would do upon taking charge (hf a
lltg tractof fertile land that had been
abused and allowed to run to waste"
said Fields. "The Stato of Oklahoma
and its public affairs are not unlike a
big fertile farm that has run to waste.
In tho first place there will not bo
mora than enough hands to do the work
at fair wages. All tho ground will be
put Into cultivation and tilled as regu
larly Bit the sun rises. The broken
fences will be repaired nnd nil the
machinery put under the shed. The
corn cribs and wheat bins will be made
rat proof. Tho gophers down in the
nlfalfa will bo exterminated. The
orchard will be sprayed to kill tho in-
sects. The boll wdevil will be kept
out-of the cotton the chinch bugs out
of the corn and the green bugs out of
the wheat. AH these kinds of pests
have been at work in State affairs for
tho last seven jean. Finally A will
build a hog"-proot fence around the en-
tire farm With this kind of fnrming
A man ought to bo able to turn los
Into profit and increase the market
value of tho farm. That's tho way 1
intend handling the affairs of Okla-
homa." LOCKING THE DOORS.
Oklahoma City Sept. 0. 1 1 the
close of the recent primary campaign
Democratic gubernatorial candidates
openly charged each other with ballot
stealing nnd both Robertson and Will-
iams sent out lawyers and secret
agents to "get the goods" on each
other. Then ex-Governor Haskell
stepped into the breach and the mat-
ter was hushod up. Governor Cruce
directed State Attorney General West
to inquire into the alleged election
frauds. At the end of a week or two
West dropped out of the game by say-
ing that inasmuch as he had been
charged with violation of the election
laws it would embarrass him to con-
duct an investigation Thus another
door was shut nnd locked Al Jen
ulngs undertook to take depositions to
how. that Williams had violated the
law. The State Supreme Court then
brought Judge MoMillan to Oklahoma
City to take chargo of tho case which
ho promptly did by throwing it out of
court and enjoining Jenkins from tak
ing depositions. Thus another door
wns shut nnd locked The row was a
Democratic affair and the burden of
proa7ta upn tne Democratic candi-
dates Desplto this fact E. J. Gid-
dings attorney for Jennings said in a
speech before the Oklahoma Ccunty
Democratic convention last Saturday ;
"I have been waging since August 0
for those d d Republicans to bring
proof to me that there was any steal of
votes in the primary. Not an iota
have they furnished."

Wo nil rcallzo tho consequences of poor buslnesB stagnation In com
mcrclal affairs depression of real estnto vnlues low wages etc'
What we want Is plenty of business money In circulation a live Interest
In the building of houses the sale of lots and acre property nnd a genuine
healthy condition of business In our community.
HOW SHAM WB ACCOMPLISH IT?
Tho easiest thing in tho world. Just keep our monoy In circulation right
hero among ourselves And wo will create our own prosperous conditions.
in other words LET'S PATnONlZB OUIl OWN nUSINP.SS MEN IN-
STEAD OP SENDING OUR DOLLARS TO THE MAIL ORDHIt HOUSES.
Lot'R bo loynl to our own best Interests Instead of helping to bolster up tho
big monopolistic establishments that are draining our resources of nil tho
ready money In sight.
It Is tho aim of the big city mall order houses to drlvo tho 'smnll town
merchants out of business so that wo will nil bo compelled to sqnd to tho
cities for our merchandise. Tho big mall order houses nro spending thou-
sands of dollars every month to accomplish this object
THEY WILL DO IT TOO UNLES3 WE ARE SENSIDLD ENOUGH
TO STOP IT.
It la up to uo to prevent tho big mall order houses from driving our store-
keepers out of business for several reosqns tho greater of which aro that
our community will bo rubbed off the map If we havo no business concerns
and that our ownership of property hero will not amount to anything In this
ovent.
The loeaj stores to a very large extent make this town. The taxes paid
by our buclness men aro the principal support of our schools and churches.
It Is the taxeB paid by our storekeepers that pay for the local Improvements
for the street llahtlno for flro protection and for all other communistic prlvU
lep.es and protection.
If we permit tho big mall osder houses to drlvo our business men out
of competition what will wo hava left? A place of empty store buildings
an undesirable place In which to live.
If tho mall order houses accomplish their purpose It is posslblo that
railroad interests will decide thcro Is not sufficient business to warrant tho
stopping of trulns Jioro because thero will be no reason thon for traveling
men to stay over In our town no fjalght to bo delivered to our stores.
In such cases wo will bo trying to sell our property hut will flndno
buyers for who will think it a good investment to buy proporly In n dead
town ?
Hut this is JUBt what we must expect if wo keep sending our dollars fo
the mall order houses for it is only tho business of tho town that makes
tho town posslblo.
When we send practically all of our business to the mall order houses In
the cities there will no lonjjer be a necessity for or n reason for a town here.
It nil resolves ItsolfMnto the question: SHALL WB HAVE A PROSPER-
OUS TOWN WITH GOOD LOCAL 'BUSINESS. GOOD REAL ESTATE
VALUES GOOD WAGES AND GOOD .MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT. OR
SHALL WE HAVE A DEAD TOWN. "WITH 1'IfZS HOOTING IN THE PRIN-
CIPAL STREETS. STORE BUILDINGS EMPTY AND WITH "FOR SALE"
SIGNS HUNG UP NO LIGHTS AND NO FIRE PROTECTION.
IT ALL RESTS WITH US. WE ARE THE ONES TO DECIDE.
Common sonso and good Judgment tell us to protect our own Interests.
If we don't who will?
What can we expect from tho mall order houses nfler thoy shall havo
received our monoy nnd tho locnl storekeepers havo been put out of tho run-
ning? Shall wo expect help nnd nsslstnnco from tho mall order monopoly?
Wo nil know that tho mall order houses V not pay nny of our local
taxes. Thoy do not support our schools or churches or help to pay for our
lighting tho streets or for our flro department.
Every dollar spent at home means added wealth added prosperity added
real estate values and added facilities of all kinds.
Every dollar sent to the mall otder houses means moro'unfalr competi-
tion for our storekeepers and less taxes toward the support of our com-
munity. Which do wo prefer? Wo must malto tho decision. Aro wo for or
against our community?
LET'S MAKE IT A LIVE TOWN BY KEEPING OUR MONEY IN CIR-
CULATION AMONG OUR OWN BUSINESS MEN.

Suffrago Amendment to the constitu-
tion of tho United States.
The government is planning to place
a tax on everything now "to Increase
the revenues." This tax is supposed
to be n war tax and will be levied on
everything used such as drinks of all
kinds checks on btnki goods purchas
ed and everything conceivable. This
is to fill tip a depleted treartiry by ren-
non of the tariff revision which takes
the duty off everything has left phe
pricer as high or higher than ever and
left tho difference In the way of profit
in the countries ncross the waters
This Is the first time in the history of
tlio United States when wo have been
at peaco with all nations that it lias
been necessary to levy a war tax to
keep the government running. A tar-
iff good and stiff would bea crime In
the eyes of democracy but to levy an
exorbitant war tax is nil right and
proper. If that isn't straining at a
gnat and swallowing an elephant we
don't know what would constitute such
an offense. Guymon Herald.

Farmers of Missouri ought to meet
quail hunters on their farms with a
shotgun and drive them back to the
city or town says the Central Missou-
ri Republican. Tho fewer quails on
the farms the greater tho destruotivo-
neis of crocs by the insects. Who
knows but what the army worm tho
Hessian fly and other pests are attrib-
utable in a measure to the destruc-
tion of the quail. No one should be
permitted to kill a quail at any reason
of tho year.
