The Fine Rains
Some times it is a long time be-
tween rains in Oklahoma as well as
other states, but they always come,
and the rains that visited Oklaho-
ma Sunday and Monday, which
were general throughout the state
were certainly appreciated. The
precipitation in Cleveland county
was from 1 1-2 to 3 inches. The
heaviest rains were reported in the
southeastern part of the county.
The rains came in time to help
much of the cotton in the eastern
part nl' the county , and will give
the farmers an opportunity to plant
wheat for fall pasture.
A Had Idea
In llie recent proposed city chart-
er of Norman, the idea that the
commissioners should be required
ti. Rive all of their time to the af-
fairs ol the city, was given much
prominence, and same had much to
do iu fixing salaries of commission-
ers. This idea incorporated in the
proposed charter had much to do
with iis dpieai
In Galveston and Houston, where
the charter form of government
lias been in operation for years, the
idea that commissioners should be
forced to give up their private
business and devote all of their
time to the affairs of the city, has
been found to be a bad one, and
discarded by Galveston and the
Houston Post is now convinced t hat
same should be discarded by Hous-
ton. It does not secure the servic-
es of the best men as commission-
ers; hut rather seems to secure the
services of professional politicians
who as a rule are business failures.

The farmers are busy getting
ground ready for sowing wheat.
It has been almost impossible to
get the fields in shape for wheat or
alfalfa seeding because of the lack
of rain. The acreage sown will,
perhaps, be greatly reduced, and
most of the wheat sown will lie for
pasturage purposes primarily.
