A FRAUD.
Mr. Robert Rounds, living west
of town last week received a let-
ter from Madrid, trying to entice
him into a get-rich-quick scheme.
Mr. Rounds handed us this letter
for publication to warn others
who might receive a like missive,
to keep their hands off and save
cablegram expense, at least. The
daily papers of the state have al-
ready sounded warning, as Mr.
Rounds is not the first Oklahoman
to be approached in this manner.
The letter follows and speaks for
itself:
Madrid, 2S 10-11.
My Dear Sir:
I am imprisoned in this city and
knowing your honesty, I beg to
beseech you herewith whether you
want to come here to take awaj

arrive to you 1 will wait your an-
swer and then I will say you my

Landlord and Tenant
will not put at least one-half of
they rent positively prohibit the
planting of kafir corn on their
land. Not all, however, are so
foolish. There is a farm loan
company, which has been doing
business in southern Kansas since
1881 and in Oklahoma since 1SS9.
The manager of this company's
branch office in Kay County, Cen-
tral Oklahoma, replying to an in-
quiry. wrute: 'VVe have for three
years been trying to educate the
tenants to whom we lease land to
the impoitance of planting a por-
tion of the I nd to kafircorn. We
are now refusing to lease land
under our charge to a tenant who

'farm, the tenant has 120 acres
Indian corn, and he has reported
j that this is making thirty buahels
j to the acre. On this same farm,
he has 100 acres of kafircorn. The
least estimate placed on the yield
of this is sixty bushels to the
acre. The land is of the same
quality and the kafircorn field is a
sight worth seeing. The old idea
that kafircorn ruins the land is
passing away. If landlords and
tenants will plant their kafircorn
reasonably early, save the grain,
and turn the green stalks and
blades under early in the fall and

will take no notice of the letter
further than to place it in the

Supposed Chicken Thief Caught
On Monday Deputy Sheriff Ru-
therford took charge of a negro
named W. Kerney on complaint
of some white men south of the
river, who claimed the negro had
stolen some chickens from them.
Kerney was trying to sell some 3
dozen chickens to J . VV. Humph-
rey when arrested. The negro
was taken to Kingfisher and held
for preliminary trial Saturday.
Mrs. Minta Jackson spent Tues-
day in Enid.
About the Bonds
Last week's report of the result
of the bond election was extreme-
ly erroneous, except in that the
bonds were defeated. Belo<v we

Kingfisher city is the only place
that gave a majority for the
bonds
There must be some reason for
this complete landslide. In fact,
there are several reasons In the
lirst place dissatisfaction arose in
this part of the county over the
laying out of the road. Then a
good many people are against
bond proposition on general prin
ciples and not a few objected to
any further addition to taxes. All
these combined to defeat the
question, and only these or simi
lar reasons, for it is preposterous
to imagine the farmers do not
want good roads. It was not a
blow to good roads as some seem
to think. It "was merely a slam
at the means to get the good road.
But now that this plan for
building the road (for the road
must be built) has failed, it is up
to the aiul-buna fellows to make
a move in this direction, and the
chances are even that they will
meet with trouble as the bond ad-
vocates did.
We care not what plan is at-
tempted, only so it is feasible and
we are willing to do all in our
power to help, but the road must
be straightened so as to accomo
date the greatest number of peo-
ple, or we'll be found knocking, as
usual. The bridge problem, of
course, stands in the way, but
that is not an impossible one and
need cause little worry as yet
VVe believe a bond proposition to
build a good bridge at the right
place on the Cimarron would
carry as strongly as the last prop-
osition was defeated.
The question now that most in-
tetests us is:
• Will you fellows who favored
the bonds and are making big talk
about people not wanting good
roads, show your sincerity in good
roads by helping those who did
not want to build by bonding the
district?" Will you?

that contains so much comedy,
such a clean consistent plot, and
so many peculiar characters as
"The Missouri Girl," which will

"The highest price for what you
sell, the lowest price for what you
buy," is the motto of the Farmers
Store.
About. 0 o'clock Saturday even-
ing the lire alarm was given on ac-
count of a blaze caused by a de-
fective flue at the Jeffrey home in
the southeast part of town. For-
tunately the tire was extinguished
before it had gained much head-
way.
