Rushing Toward
the Mexican
C oast
With a majority of the war ves
sels of the U. S navy under orders
and preparing to start for the At-
lantic and Pacific coasts of Mexico,
General Huerta, ol Mexico, is still
holding out and contending that the
episode growing out of the arrest of
United States bluejackets nt Tam-
pico was a fit subject for arbitra-
tion at the Hague. Administration
officials assert that insults to the
flag and American honor are not
subjects for arbitration and that if
u salute to the stars and stripes
was not fired in a reasonable time
to atone for the repealed offenses
against the rights and dignity of
the United States, that serious ac-
tion would result.
General Huerta has submitted the
demand for a salute to ihe liag to
an evcutive session of the Mexican
senate. No answer had been re-
ceived as yet.
Congress is behind the president
almost unanimously in his demand
for reparation from Mexico.

time county attorney, about two
years ago, and before Mr. Wilson
became a member of the board. It
had been awaiting a decision since
that time
Called to Nebraska by
Mother's Death
Juhn C. Myers left Wednesday
evening for Broken Bow, Neb., 1
where he was summoned by the
death ot his mother, who has
been in ill health for sotej
months Mr. Myers received a
telegram in the morning announc-
ing her critical condition and as
he was preparing to leave on
the first train, in the evening j
received another message an-
nouncing her death at 1:3d that i
afternoon.
Kingfisher County Track Meet
We are g ad for the interest King- j
! fisher, and Hennessey took inthe|
i county track meet But we want
our people to get a broader view ol
the work than Kingfisher and
Hennessey. This was a county
meet and the boys and girls of the
j district schools did fine work, never
i before having worked out in this
( work, and with very little training.
They made themselves felt. The
j one mile run was won in less time
by the rural schools than by the
high schools. Meyer, who ranked
won in the pole vault had never
tried pole vaulting until he came
to Kingfisher, the morning of the
meet. He practiced that morning
and won 3rd place. Group 15 won
the all around championship of the
grade schools Gratnlichof District
93 holding he honor.
We want to commend the spirit
and work done by the rural schools,
and the Superintendents of the
groups for the untiring work they
•lid. Most of the 18 groups were
represe ited in some way. Group
18 won the spelling Alice Perdue
winning on a grade of 100 per cent
Manilia Reed, of group 3, !>8 per
cent, Okla McGovern, of 15 and
Paul Eubanks of I tied on !)7 per
cent. In Oklahoma county the win
ner had a grade of 118 per cent, so
we say hurrah for Kingfisher county.
Much credit is due A. I Moore,
of Hennessey, chairman of the
athletic committee and his com
inittce of rural school teachers
Kingfisher county has been com-
mended by the State Department,
of Education for their successful
meet.

At Hennessey State Bank
Asa result of the dismissal of the
appeal to the supreme court from
this county in the case against five
county officials, who, it is alleged,
drew more salary than the law al-
lowed, as printed in the Clipper last
week, there has been some critic
isrn of Commissioner Wilson, the
member from this district, for fail
ure to uphold the county attorney
in the matter. In fairness to all
concerned it should be stated that
the case was carried up by F.

aunts reside. Remained with
them a week and then went to
Long Beach, saw tht ocean and
heard the breakers roar. Saw the
little pleasure boat come in with
38 passengers and for the oddity of
1 it, ate dinner and supper out on
the pier a quarter of a mile out in
the ocean. And by the way, got a
good square meal All the fish,
potatoes and other tilings we could
eat for 25c. Went to visit Ray
Jones and remained over night.
Had a good visit, but was sorrv to
learn that they had lost their baby.
I bought myself a little runabout
car and to begin with, motored
back to Orange, about 25 miles.
Oranges are so cheap that they
are hardly worth gathering now,
But this fruit is not like most other
kinds, that begin to spoil as soon
as ripe. On the other hand they
1 hang onto the trees and wait for
j good prices.
This is sure a great country. I
have been told that there are 18
houses under construction at the
present time in Orange, and every-
thing has its price and the real
estate agents, both men and
women, are continually after a per-
i son.
There is aire one thing that looks
j good to a person all along the coast
so far as I have been—most all out-
side land is covered with a growth
of oats or barley. Some of it looks
like 35 or 40 bushels to the acre.
They make hay of it. It sells for
$10 to $12 a ton baled. Every-
thing here is sold by the pound
with the exception of eggs at 20c a
dozen. Creamery butter brings
32c Beefsteak 22 to 25c a roast,
15c, flour $1,70 a sack: Wages
run from $2.00 day in the packing
house, $2.00 for picking oranges.
$2.25 to $2.50 for driving a team
and irrigating, $3.00 for carpenters,
but that line is over done. It is
dull, in fact, at present for all
laborers. • J. T. Lynn.
