The State Board of Agriculture has
authorized the distribution of at least
one bushel of choice s>>ed corn to the
boys of each county, the distribution to
be made through the secret ury of the
County Farmer's Institute. It is earn-
estly desired that the teachers assist in
i awakening interest among the boys in
corn culture and improvement. As a
means of accomplishing this it is recom-
mended that our county organize four
teen to twenty corn clubs through as
many teachers, to carry out two lines of
work.
First: Each boy to grow a plot of not
less than one-half acre from well-select
ed home-grown seed from which to se-
lect an exhibit to be shown at the next
county farmer's institute,, and the -state
Fair aud at the State A. & M. College
during the Farmer's Short Course, at
all of which liberal prizes will be offer-
ed.
Second: Each club shall select some of
its members to conduct a competitive
test of the vnri> '! s growu by the boys'
fathers together with three more varie-
ties that will be furnished by the State
A. <& M. College.
The college issues bulletins of inter-
est to girls and will send to all whose
names you will furnish. I will for-
ward them along with the lists of boys.
Hoping that you will be Bticc?e ful
in arousing enthusiasm in this move-
ment to awaken an interest among the
boys and girls in the common work of
the home, and will forward me a list of
boys and girls that yon succeed in in-
teresting at an early date. For further
information, call on or address A. K.
Ralston, County Superintendent.

of the committee on rules, provided for
an adjournment at 0 p. m, instead of
at noon and the change was made on

who suid that a six o'clock adjourn-
ment would mean turning back of the
clock and keeping the meinl>ers there
trost of the night. No actum ha* yet
beeu takeu by the senate but it is un-
derstood that the date set by the hou^e
will be acceptable. The house also
adopted a resolution by Faulkner, de-
claring that it would receive no more
new bills
The house passed finally bills by
Glover, relating to the listing lor tax-
ation of property brought in between
March 1 and September 1; by Cope,

If you haw a bank account your money is not on!y secure, but every
tick of the clock means that it is growing, so when you have money in
the bank it is safe against loss, against your extravagance, and is grovy-

good advantage?

Tahlequah, OKla.
In connection with a proposed inter-
urban line between Muskogee and Tah-
lequah through Fort Gibson. Mr.
J. B. Moore, who was in the city yes-
terday, said "I believe such a line
would be a paying proposition right
from the start. The country through
which it would pass will be thickly
populated. We would not circle around
the mountains like the Frisco road but
go direct from Muskogee to Tahlequah,
covering about thirty miles. In Tahle-
quah we have clear sparkling water, as
pure as can be found in the world,
fresh mountain air aud elegant sites for
modern summer homes. It would be
fine for Muskogeeans^to live in Tahle-
quah and do business m Muskogee In
building a power plant, which can be
done for less than $100,000, there would
be no valuable land to submerge, as the
Illinois river winds through the hills
and the laud on either side is not valu-
able. The fall per mile is seven or
eight feet, while I understand the fall
of the Grand liver is much less "
Mr. Moore is also boosting a propo-
sition for a big game preserve similar
to that proposed by Jack Gordon of
Paris. Tex , in the Choctaw nation
The heaviest cost, he says, would be of
fencing it, as some of the land can lie
bought as low as $1 to $:i an acre.—

nectioi with the sale of public land.
In connection with the last recom-
mendation, reference was made to the
assault on a prospective purchaser at
Enid, for which the governor took oc-
casion to assure the legislature the
lessees were not responsible.
MAY MEAN* NEW JUDGES
The senate advanced to third read
ing the Russell bill re-districting the
judicial districts of the state. The bill
hill increases the uumbor of judicial ilis
tricts in the state from twenty-six to
twenty-eight. Under the bill if it. be
comes a iaw, new judges will be ap-
pointed by the governor, one in the
Fourteenth district, composed under
this bill of Blaine, Canadian. Caddo,
Grady, Stephens nud Jefferson counties
and one new judtre in Nineteenth dis-
trict composed, in the bill, of Ilannou,
Greer, Beckham, Roger Mills, Dewey,
Ellis, Weods, Woodward, JIarper,
Beaver, Texas and Cimarron counties
In the house, Casteel of Cimarron
county introduced three bills creating
an industrial commission to purchase
and manage the coal and oil lauds of
tlie state in behalf of the state. All
three bills are to be submitted to a vote
of the people.
The hills also create the office of com-
missioner of mines, who shall have the
management of the operation of the
coal lands and mines and commissioner
of oil and gas, who shall have charge of
the management and operation of oil
and gas lands. Both officers are to be
elected for two years by the legislature,
and will receive Ma day. The indus-
trial commission is to be composed of
the governor, secretary of state, com-
missioner of mines, and commissioner
of oil anil gas. The commission shall
have power to issue bonds for the pur-
chase of the coal, oil aud gas properties
of the state either by condemnation or
by purchase and create a sinking fund
to take up the bonds and operate the
mines and sell the products. Senator
Roddie introduced a proposed amend-
ment to the constitution, reducing the
number of senators to forty and repre
sentatives to 100.
