That tlio fanners of Oklahoma
should sow at least 5000000 acres
to wheat within the next two months
was the opinion expressed by John
Fields of Oklahoma City editor of
the Oklahoma Farmer in a speech
to farmers of the county at the
Grady county free fair yesterday.
Oklahoma is facing an opportunity
to redeem herself from corn failure's
th's season and both land owners
and tenants who are now on the soil
should stay in the interest of produc-
ing for war needs as well as for the
future of the land Mr. Fields de-
clared. In discussing present needs of the
stale and Grady county Mr. Fields
stated that the predominating idea of
raising cash 'crops should be forgot-
ten for tho good of our fighting men
who are depending upon the farmers
at homo to advance them food. Reck-
less exportation' of stock foods which
must be brought back to the shipping
point in loss than three months in-
volving an expensive loss of time to
farmers and stock raisers as well as
an injury to sorely taxed transporta-
tion facilities of the nation was at-
"Vkud ils u fui'"iK menace that
should' be avoided. The government is
not responsible for conditions of ex-
aggerated transportation of that has
caused Oklahoma to petition low
rates for bringing back feed for the
winter Mr. Fields told the farmers.
Tho fifth annual county free fair
started oft yesterday with a bang
large crowds flocking to Shanoan
Springs both in the afternoon and at
night. Practically all exhibits were
posted this morning and even fair di-
rectors expressed surprise and de-
light late yesterday with the way
the show is moving off. Every build
ing and teiit on tho grounds is filled
to its capacity. I'cns reserved for
the fine herds of registered . stock
were" practically full last night with
prospects good for the arrival of more
today.
Registered stock exhibits out class
by far those of any previous year in
the county breeders and members of
the fair association think. Only reg-
istered animals will be entered this

made up among breedrs of the coun-
ty to furnish additional grounds for

"The Sin of Barrenness."
Taking as his topic "Christian
Science" or "The Modern Guinea
Pig" Vr. E. J. Bulgin in his lecture
at the Union Revival Taberna-
cle last night uncovered what he
declared to be the inconsistencies
and larte in a so-called religion
branding the practices of the Eddy
sect as denying the divinity of God.
Why followers of Mother Eddy will
argue the existence of pain and sick-
ness at the same time claiming to
have affected cure and why Scien-
tists readers change their doctrine
to give way for attacks of critics
were seme of tho questions do:.!'
with by the evangelist in attacking
the foundation for the creed as it. is
practiced.
infidels i i;cpt 'cs and scarlet wo-
men may heal themselves without a
change of conduct still continuing
to live in their own sloth according
to the belief ot the Christian Scien-
tist Dr. Bulgin declared.
In taking up the subject the re-
vivalist likened Eddyisin to a Guinea
Pig inasmuch as neither deserved
either part of its name. Christian
Science is neither Christianity nor
Sconce just as the Guinea Pig is
not properly associated with the
name he declared. Following along
this line Dr. Bulgin said in part:
"Avoid vain babblings and science
so-called. Don't tell me tomorrow that
I am prejudiced. I'm not. I have in-
vestigated and studied and studied
carefully.
"Tho Jews have not yet come to
believe that my Lord was theirs yet
they are joining the Christian Science
church. I have a strong conviction
on anything that calls itself Christ-
ian and Scientific and is neither one.
It is a modern Guinea Pig. I don't
fight any Unveil or any religion but
I do fight thing that claims to be
religion and is not. Why do I fight
Eddyisin? Why prominent rem'srs
and leaders of the sect precede j
everywhere sending letters ahead to
prepare for my coming. Then they
stick in their nefarious bills if any
preacher dares to reply to their
work and attack it. They howl if you

"I have studied under Mrs. Eddy
four months and I have heard it all
from her sanctimonious old lips. I
