The fields are martial proud with growing grain.
The wheat Is bending wave-like, in the breezs.
And o'er each vall.-y, dale and plane.
It flaunts in vastness rivaling the seas;
Then comes the reaper with it's ceaseless hum
To garner in the fruits of Nature's plan;
The wheat must to th=> sickle then succumb.
And bow before the will of mighty man.
Thus life Is like a field of growing grain—
We sow the seed that scatters o'er life's field;
Our deeds will bring a harvest, loss or gain—
If they ar.? good we have a bounteous yield.
Then Man. the Mighty—only here on earth
Where all that's animate must bend to him—
His arrogance and strength are 'nut a dearth
To meet the sickle of thj Reaper Grim.

LOCATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
Guthrie, Okla., June 8.—J. P. Con-
nors, president of the board of agri-
culture, returned today from the west-
ern part of the state, where, with
E. B. Cameron, state superintendent
of public instruction, and J. H. Con
nell, president of the A. and U col
lege, he visited various places as pro
posed sites for sub-agrlculturnl col
leges. The one In the Panhandle din
trict was located at Good wall, Tubs
county. ,
After weeks of vexatious delays, the
proprietors of the Southern hotel are
now ready to begin the construction
of the large addition to their hotel
building, and all arrangements have
been made to have the work begun
next Monday.
The excavating, a very large amount
of which must be done, will be done
by George W. Stone, and no time
will be lost in getting the large base-
ment in shape for the concrete work-
ers. The contract for the construc-
tion of the building has been awarded
to P. L. I>ee, of Oklahoma City, who
will push the work with all possible
speed.
The annex, which will be auout as
large as the main building, will be
constructed of reinforced concrete. It
will consist of basement and three
stories. It will be thoroughly fire-
proof and fitted up in the most ele-
gant style, with every modern im-
provement.
The building of this addition will
made thp Southern the largest hotel
W< st of the Santa Fe in Oklahoma, and
j in point of elegance and complete-
ness it will have no superior in the
state. It will practically double the
capacity of the hotel, and enable the
proprietors to supply the demand for
accommodations. At the time that the
Southern was built it was thought that
It would bo large enough to meet all
demands, but it was soon learned
that this was a mistaken idea, as from
the very start It has been found nec-
essary to turn guests away nearly
every night.
