BROOM CORN CROP IMMENSE
Biggest Yield in Slate's History
Lacks Men to Harvest It
Guthrie, Okla.—A cry for laborers
to assist in harvesting the biggest
broom corn crop ever raised in Okla-
homa, as the broom corn producing
arron counties in the Panhandle of
Oklahoma.
This is a novel situation in Okla-
homa, as the brom corn producing
industry has not reached the stage
heretofore where it was necessary
t send out an appeal to the outside
world for help in its harvesting.
Western Oklahoma, and especially
the Panhandle country, has become
| the leading broom corn producing
j section of the United States, and men
j familiar with the industry say that
j one-third of the entire broom corn
production of the world is raised in
j western Oklahoma and southwestern
Kansas.
SEED WHEAT RATE LOWERED
Rock Island Pleased With Interest of
Oklahoma Farmers
Alva, Okla.—The Rock Island and
A. and M. College Better Wheat train
was greeted by large crowds here.
Farmers drove several miles to get
instructions on better methods of
growing wheat and better seed wheat.
The Rock Island officials at Chicago
are so enthusiastic at the interest
taken by the farmers that they sent a
telegram reducing the freight rate on
seed wheat one-fourth. The attend-
ance here was so large that it was
difficult for speakers to handle the
crowd. Many inquiries were made
for better seed wheat. The agents
of the A. and M. college are greatly
pleased with results.
Petition Governor for New County
Oklahoma City, Okla.—Seger is the
name of the third new county pro-
posed within the past three months,
to be created in western Oklahoma.
The name chosen is in honor of Capt.
John Seger, who in 1871 founded the j
Colony school for Indians, said to be I
the model Indian school of the world. I
The committee has presented their pe-
tition to Governor Haskell, bearing
1,000 names of voters, headed by the
name of Capt. Seger, in the proposed
county, all of which were secured in
three days time. The proposed coun-
ty is made up of 13 townships from i
the western part of Caddo, three from
the eastern part of Kiowa, and 5% j
from the eastern part of Washita, it i
is 39 miles long north and south, and
from 18 to 22 miles wide east and '
west. It contains 700 square miles of
rich farming country, 438 miles of
which is taxable area. The taxable
wealth is more than $6,000,000. Car-
negie, a flourishing town of a thous- ,
and people, located in the geographi-
cal center, is proposed as the county
; seat.
INDIAN LAND SALES IN OCTOBER
^gent Announces That 40,000 Acres
Will be Placed on Market
Muskogee, Okla.—The Indian agent
has announced that during the week
beginning October 10, there will be
40,000 acres of Indian land placed on
the market. This is the same week
that the Muskogee state fair and the
International Congress of Indians will
be held, and it is expected that hun-
dreds of outside buyers will be here to
grab a farm. Indian land has a pecu-
liar lure for the average farmer from
the cast and north. The words to
them seem to have a golden souud.
And there are 140 tracts of land adver-
in some of these sales, in the sale
for October, the agent pointed out,
there is one tract of land of 320 acres
in the Choctaw nation which is ap-
praised at only $750. There are 140
acres of this fine bottom land, but it
i3 covered with great oak and hickory
trees. A small part of it is in cultlva- i
tion. A shrewd, energetic farmer
could, in a few years, turn that into
one of the finest farms in the state, j
And there are 140 tracts of land aderv-
tised at this sale. Of course, some of
them are worthless, some very fine
and some only passably good. But any
prospective purchaser can see the
land and get the appraised price set by
the government in advance of his bid.
It is noticeable that the sales each
month are getting better and the de-
mand for land greater. The old fear
that the titles are bad is disappearing.
Two Arrested For Thefts
Guthrie, Okla.—As a result of fre-
quent thefts from the camping quar-
ters at Elison's lake, three miles
southwest of Guthrie, F. B. Keller and
son Guy, have been arrested. Some
of the stolen goods were recovered.
The Kellers are farmers and live near
the lake, which is owned by a Guthrie
club. Fifty pounds of dynamite found
on the Keller farm leads to the sup-
position that they have been dynamit-
ing the lake for fish. The remarkable
explosion heard near Guthrie several
weeks ago, and which at the time was
supposed to have been a meteor, is
now thought to have been an acci-
dental explosion of a large quantity
of dynamite probably intended for the
fishes of the lake.

Globular Lightning.
Yesterday the inhabitants of Lewis-
ham were provided with a specimen
j or that curious phenomenon known as
"globular lightning." It is what is
i commonly called the "fire ball, and
as it persists for several seconds it is
obviously of a totally different charac-
ter front any other form of lightning.
It is much less brilliant than ordinary
lightning, and its brightness appears
to be that of iron at the "red hot"
stage.
it is not, as some accounts might
j lead one to infer, a solid missile, but
It is always spherical and appears to
fall from a thunder cloud by its own
gravity, sometimes rebounding after
striking the ground.—London Globe.
Land Sellers to be Prosecuted
Guthrie, Okla.—Indian agents in
Oklahoma have received instructions
from C. P. Ilauke, acting commis-
sioner of the interior department, to
prosecute all persons who may file
contracts or deeds which purport to
convey the land owned by Indians
and held in trust by the federal gov-
ernment. The order is issued under
a recent act of congress making it a
misdemeanor for any person to exe-
cute such a contract or to offer it for
filing with any recording officer. The
order also applies to mortgages. The
Osage Indians are not included in the
order.
Slightly Confised.
All of us become confused and all of
us mix our language Eometioes, but
the preparation of an old negro
preacher's sermon was the greatest
confusion of metaphors I ever heard,
says a traveler. When the lengthy dis-
course was nearing its close and he
had reached his "Twenty-third and
lastly, brethren," he wound up by the
following ejaborate figure:
"lCverywha, bredren, we see de al-
mighty—all down de untrodden paths
of time, we see de footprints of de
Almighty hand."—Human Life.

Guthrie, Okla—The first instance of1

lost their lives in a tire, proDaDiy company $200 for failure to move a

destroyed three farm buildings near j City. The railroad company demands
Newbury, Mass. A number of "ho- a trial by jury and questions the right
boes" are known to have been sleep- of the corporation commission to fine
ing in the barn where the fire started for contempt.

"NO FRILLS"
Just Sensible Food Cured Him.
Sometimes a good, healthy commer-
cial traveler suffers from poorly se-
lected food and is lucky if he learns
that Grape-Nuts food will put him
j right.
A Cincinnati traveler says: "About
| a year ago my stomach got in a bad
i way. 1 had a headache most of the
time and suffered misery. For several
months I ran down until I lost about
I i0 pounds in weight and finally had to
give up a good position and go homo.
Any food that I might use seemed to
nauseate me.
"My wife, hardly knowing what to
do, one day brought home a package
of Grape-Nuts food and coaxed me to
try it. I told her it was no use but
finally to l-utnor her I tried a little,
and they just struck my taste. It
was the first food I had eaten in near-
ly a year that did not cause any suffer-
ing
"Well, to make a long story short. I
began to Improve and stuck to Grape-
Nuts. I went up from 135 pounds in
December to 194 pounds the following
October.
"My brain is clear, blood all
right and appetite too much for any
man's pocketbook. In fact, I am thor-
oughly made over, and owe it all t?
Grape-Nuts. I talk so much about what
j Grape-Nuts will do that some of the
men on the road have nicknamed me
I 'Grape-Nuts,' but I stand today a
healthy, rosy-cheeked man—a pretty
good example of what the right kind
j of food will do.
