STROUD, OKLA. FRIDAY, MAR. 14, 1913
W. A. Hadley, candidate for
trustee, of the First ward, has
hatched nearly three hundred little
chicks the past week. Chick Comer
candidate for the same place has
not turned in any report of the
stunts he has pulled off. We would
like to have the progress of the
freak baby with the bull moose
father, or anything to kind of even
up the chicken hatch.
The T. R- knock at the door of
the office of justice of peace has
been silenced. The bull moose can-
didate having died a-bornin'. Capt
Haynes alone will conduct the sail
obsequies.
McCormick- and Todd, in the 3rd
ward, are running neck and neck. A
very pretty race
Greenwood and Linihan in the
Fifth, with Greenwood running like
the hounds were on his trail and
Linihan dodging behind the cross of
a quitter leaves no question of a
doubt.
Corey and Kirtley for the office
of City Clerk. Both of them have
been tried and trusted, even-money
finds no callers.
Sherman Mooter of Hanna, was a
Stroud visitor last Friday and Satur-
day.
You can say goodbye to consti-
pation with a clear conscience if
you use Chamberlain s Tablets.
Many have been permanently cured
by their use. For sale by all deal-
ers. adv'
Russell Stevens spent Sunday in
Stroud with home folks.
Floyd Hates was down from Still-
water over Sunday.
It is nip and tuck between Schu-
bel and Hubbell in the second. The
outcome is watched with great anx-
iety.
Children are much more likely to
contract contagious diseases when
they have colds. Whooping cough,
diptheria, scarlet fever and con-
sumption are diseases that are often
contracted when the child has a
cold. That is why all medical
authorities say beware of colds.
For the quick cure of colds you will
find nothing better than Chamber-
lain's Cough Remedy. It can al-
ways be depended upon and is pleas-
ant and safe to take. For sale by
all dealers. adv.
Some one has figured out that
President Wilson will have 30 mil-
lion dollars worth of patronage to
distribute. This is probably a little
bit stretched, but he will be able to
hand'.e the job, alright, if he keeps
on as he has done in the appointing
of his cabinet, Wm. J., for exam-
ple, is more than satisfactory to the
democratic n a>ses.
GRADE DAIRY COW'S RECORD
OMo College of Agriculture Has Red
Polled Animal Thit H« Pro-
duced Much Milk.
During the paat ten yearn there has
been owned by the College of Agrl
culture. Ohio State university, what
appearu to be a grade Ked Polled cow.
No' Bpecial Information 1b known as
to her hlBtory, for she wan bought of
a cattle dealer. Each year the total
record of her milk production and per-
centage of fat In the same haa been
recorded. During this period of ten
consecutive years, she has produced
fi0,93fi pounds of milk containing 2,54'J
pounds of butter fat. The average
record for these ten consecutive years
Is very close to 6.100 pounds of milk,
and 255 pounds of butter fat. On the 1
basis of estimated butter, this cow
would have averaged nearly 300
pounds a year. The record for 1900 ,
was a poor one, on account of the
cow being dry for soine considerable
period of time. In 1904, she produced i
8,777 pounds of milk and 379 pounds
of butter fat. For the last three
years she has averaged about 6,10^ |
pounds of milk per year, and 230 :
pounds of butter fat. She originally
cost about $50. and is known in the
university herd as No. 190. She is an
interesting example of what may be
secured in continuous production
through a term of years, from a fairly
good grade dairy cow.

I use this homemade manure

cheap but keeps the manure away

With Al. Foushee it is different.
He has weakened his chances by
having his hair cut and his mus-
tache shaved off. You will find good
running qualities in the hare.

I havo never seen a ghost, but once
In the conipuii}' of a frieud 1 heard a
ghost slug.
it wan ill bondon. 1 must not men-
tion the house, because to say a house
la hauuted In Lxiudon is criminal li-
bel. This house was haunted. 1
knew it was hauuted, but the ghost
hud never troubled me. It bothered
a frieud of mine who spent an au-
tumn in the house, by tramping up
the stairB in the middle of the night.
It troubled my secretary, who used
to work alone in the house In the
evening sometimes, by opening and
■hutting the doors. It troubled the
police by lighting up the housu and
giving a false alarm of burglars in
the middle of the night. It never trou-
bled me. 1 never saw it. I never felt
It. 1 never heard it till this once.
It was about one oclock In the
morning. 1 was sitting in ray sitting
room with a friend whom I will call
X who is a well-known author. (One
generally adds in a ghost story, "and
who was a harcl-headed man of busi-
ness, utterly skeptical and completely
matter of fact," us If that had any-
thing to do with it.) We had just
come In and were expecting another
friend who lived in the house, and we
were sitting up for him. We were
talking about Swinburne s verse, and I
took down the lirBt edition of Atalanta
in Calydon, which I then possessed
and which 1 foolishly sold for
a small sum (it was immediately aft-
erward resold at an auction for
a large sum and went to America,
and is now in soino collector's li-
brary), and I read out a passage. As
1 was reading, we heard singing next
door. I said, 'There's Phil," and didn't
pay any further attention, as I expect-
ed him to come tn, and 1 went on
reading. Hut the Binging continued.
It sounded foreign—like Spanish. This
1 didn't surprise us, as Phil was in
the habit of singing Provencal songs.
The singing went oil, and as he didn t
come in, we went to meet him and
opened the door. The next room was
a tiny ante room opening into another
sitting room, and beyond this again
was the smallest of bedrooms not
bigger than a cupboard. There was
nobody there, but the singing went j
on; such curious singing, too; strange,
allen, faint, tinkly, as If four confused
voices were singing the song of an
earlier century; it was unreal and it
had a kind of burr in it, as if you
were listening to voices on a tele-
phone that is out of order. We walk-
ed through the rooms and we walked
through the singing, and we hea*d
It behind us still going on; and in
the bedroom we found our friend
asleep in his bed. Then the singing
atopped. Now, as we walked through
the Bitting room, 1 noticed my friend's
hair, in Kipling's phrase, sitting up. I
daresay he noticed the same thing
about mine, or he w ould have done so
had I any hair to notice.—Metropol-
itan.
