A GROWING
INDUSTRY
CREAM BUSINESS IS ASSUMING
GREAT PROPORTIONS
MLANS.RLADV MONEY
AND ALWAYS MEETS WITH A
READY MARKET
Canadian County's Best Farmers are
Interested in It.—The Most Profi-
table Feature of Farming in
Oklahoma
One of the most important indus-
tries of Canadian county, and one
which is making a phenominal growth,
is the cream business, and its rapid
expansion is largely due to the in-
creased market offered to the Cana-
dian country dairyman by outside but-
ter makers, and the fact that only the
cream is now shipped, instead of the
milk, as was done a few years ago.
thus reducing express charges to the
minimum. In those days nearly every
farmer who keeps a number of cows
buys a separator and separates the
cream from the milk at home, feeds
the skimmed milk to the hogs and
calves, pours the cream into ten gal-
lon cans furnished by the creamery
companies, hauls it to town and dis-
poses of it to dealers who ship ii to
creameries in various towns, receiving
much more cash for it than they did
years ago when his wife and daughter
did the churning and sold the butter
to merchants.
The firm of Newell and Talbott of
this city, are the pioneers hero as
shippers of cream.
They engaged in this branch of bus-
iness only a short time ago, but they
already have as private customers
twenty-five of the prominent farmers
of the county, and new names are
being added every day. Every can of
cream bought of them is carefully test
ed, and the exact quantity of butter-
fat it containesis noted and paid for
at the highest possible price. This
has never been less than eighteen
sents a pound and the puoiation today
is nineteen cents a pound. They ship
cream to the Allison Creamery com-
pany in Oklahoma City, and to J. P.
Haden at Winfield Kansas Payments
in full are made on the 1st and 3 5th
of each month, and the customers are
not compelled to wait two weeks bing-
er before getting their money, as is
the case with some other institutions.
Some of their customers are paid as
much as forty dollars per month for
cream—and they milk only a few cows,
as a sort of "side line" to their farm
ing operations.
Newell and Talbott sell the Sharp-
less Tuubular Separators, ranging in
price from $75 to $100, according to
size. With one of these separators
a farmer can in a few minutes sep-
arate the cream from a big batch of
milk, and get every particle of the
butter-fat. It is a great labor saver,
and enables the farmer to realize all
that he is entitled to in the sale of
milk.
Oklahoma is a natural dairy country,
and the shrewd farmer is beginning to
•realize that a few good cows are of
great value, especially in a year when
the wheat crop is short.

THE SUPREME COURT WILL RE-

HE GFTS ANOTHER REPRIEVE
The Most Unconcerned Person Ever
Confined in the Chicago Jail.
Still Asserts Innocence
Chicago, Aug 24.— .lohann Hoch. tb<
man of many wives convicted of tin
murder of one of them and under sen
tence of death, has escaped the gal
lows a third time. He was to have!
been hanged here tomorrow, but a su-1
persedeas was issued today on an i
order of Justice Magruder of the su-!
preme court.
The justice said that he had care-
fully examined the record presented
by Hoch's attorneys, and his study of
it satisfied him that there was enough
doubt to justify a review of the entire
case by the supreme court The case
will come up at the October term of
court at Springfield. Hoch has been
confident that the sentence of hang
ing would not be inflicted. He had
very little to say when informed of
the action of the justice Jailor
Whitman said this was the first time
in his experience that a prisoner has
exhibited no concern about his fate
the day previous to his execution
Hoch was smoking a cigar when
told of the issuance of the writ
"I um not guilty of this horrible mur
der," he said, "and now I will have
the opportunity of proving myself in-
nocent before the highest court in the
state I never felt like I would go to
the gallows. I may he guilty of
other crimes, but never of that of
murder."

COME OFF
Home-made Automobiles are Common
in El Reno
John Ware of Oklahoma City, the
only man in the territory who ever
built an automobile, was here this
morning. Ware drove his home-made
machine from Oklahoma City in two
hours.—Guthrie Leader.
The Leader man is mistaken. F. O.
Gilbert constructed an automobile in
El Reno several years ago, and Bill
Brown, the long geniuus of the
Fourth ward, has built two or three
machines, and toured the country with
one of them. Incidentally, he caused
thirty or forty teams to tour the coun-
try, scattering fragments of buggies
all along the route.
From Friday's Daily
There is a strong probability that
the extension of the water service on
the Morrison and Keith Additions will
soon be brought to an end. The Water
Committee of the council refuses to ac-
cept the amended proposal of the
water company.
Months ago the company presented
a proposition for the extension of
those additions, designating the streets
upon which mains should be laid, and

Burford to Be Exonorated

Guthrie, Okla., Aug 24.—-The state ,
ment is made today that as a result
of the investigation mad4 here by
Inspectors J. G. Harris and W R Harr
of the department of justice, that
Chief Justice John H Burford will be

Fell Dead
A man fell dead in Chicago the other
day from heart trouble, and thousands
die every day in the same way. But'
the cause of nine out of ten of such
cases of heart trouble is indigestion.
The cure is Dr Caldwell's (laxative)
Syrup Pepsin. The explanation is that
the swollen, inflamed, and engorged
stomach, presses right tip against the
heart and prevents it from working;
your heart flutters, palpitates, pains
and you are short of breath: some
lose it forever. Just try for these sym
ptoms, a few doses of Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, and see how quickly it
will cure you. Sold by all druggists
at 50c and $1. Money back if it fails.

Piedmont Election Stood 77 For to 3
Votes Against
Piedmont is to have a school house
and a school. Heretofore the town
children have been compelled to go
one and two miles to school. An elec-
tion was held last week In the Star
district, in which the town is situated,
at which It was decided to move the
school t< Piedmont and issue $2,000
In bonds to pay for the erection of a
new school house. The vote stood 77

returned to El Reno about ten weeks
ago. upon his first vacation in two
years which he spent at West Point.
He will remain in the school about two
years more, and then step out as a
sure-enough soldier, and an officer in
the V. S. army. He has an enviable
record as a military student, and there
is not a doubt that he will leave the
school with high honors

turned as the engine goes along. The

Abraham Lincoln once said that if
we gav e $.'10 a ton for iron rails made
in this county we would have both
the rails and the money, but if we
bought them in England only the rails
would be ours, while the Britishers
would get the cash. The same idea
should be applied to sending away
from your home town for things that
can be bought better or as well of your
friends and neighbors. Buy of a cit>
department store and only the goods
ar yours, buy of the home merchant
and he will pay the money back for
your farm produce Thus the goods
and money are both yours, not only
now but for an indefinite time in the
future.
