CITY SCHOOLBOYS AND FARMS
A false report was recently circu-
lated to the effect that there wen
2,500 high school boys in New YorK
City and vicinity who wished to pass
the vacation weeks working on farm.-.
It turned out on investigation that
about that number of students are
leaving the high schools this year fo-
good and that some of them would be
glad to find places to work for wages.
Doubtless there are but few of them
who would tatoo up farm work and
perhaps fewer still who could earn
more than their board on a farm the
first year.
The report that there were 2,500
boys waiting for Jobs was given cur-
rency the more readily because the
authorities said to be behind this
movement experimented last year in a
small way and placed a few hlgn
school boys upon farms with fair re-
sults. But the success of a selected
few furnishes no criterion for school-
boys as they average In cities. They
not only draw the line sharply at the
farm as a place for a career, but they
hate the farm and all connected wl'U
it. Of course thlH antipathy to the
farm is foolish and Is the result ol
false education. If the attempt to get
boys back to the land could be matie
In the lower schools, perhaps when
the boy came to leave high school he
•would be rendv to engage In farm
work for life. The boy of twelve or
fourteen who is study can be of use
on a farm and Is teachable. If his
school vacations could be passed I
the country, his objections to farm life
would vanish by the time he was
ready to drop books for good, say at
seventeen or eighteen. Both farm and
boy would be helped by closer
qualntance, but the Initiation should
be made before the boy has taken to
kid gloves and parting his hair In tli
middle.
If what the Ardmore Democrat says
of the manage ment of the state saloon
at that town It Is about the best pay
Ing Institution In the Btate. The Dem-
ocrat says that the sales run for forty
to fifty a day. Business was so ex-
tremely brisk the other day that the
barkeeper run out. of the n.-cessary af-
fidavits and was compelled to place a
rush order with the Democrat for
for more, fearing a sale might be
missed while waiting for them through
the regular channels. Two piramb'i
lating printers at work In the Demf-
crat office secured as much as thre
and four quarters during the day, all
bearing the stato's official seal. Of
course these sales were made on pre-
scriptions and would 4 indicate that
Ardmore was a sickly town or had
over production of snakes who weie
applying their fangs with unusual ac-
tivity.
It begins to look as If Potato Wat-
son would have to return to his old
haunts and re-engage In his old busi-
ness of handling tubers for a living,
a place that ho Is better qualified to
fill than he Is trying to regulate the
railroads nnd throw them into the
hands of receivers at the same tlm'v
There is probably not state official
that has done more to discredit the
state and bring financial ruin to th<
railroad corporations than has Wat
son, and the determination to retire
him at the fall election comes as a
wise measure. With Watson on Jack
Love, of gun toting fame, Is likewise
slated for retirement. These two men
have made themselves conspicuously
obnoxious to the Btate and the people,
more so than many others whose in-
competency was apparent from the
very day they were inducted into of-
fice. The fact that these two officials
are to bo turned down after a brlet
period indicates that their presence
has been not only distasteful to the
people, but the government as well,
and goes to prove all that has been
charged against them by rei*ibllcan
papers.

MONEY AS A PEACEMAKER.
Germany wants to borrow an 1m
mense sum of money to pay the co?t
and maintenance of her war establish-
ment. It Is said that the will borrow
from the very nrition against which
her military power has been dlrecteJ
in the past and toward which all her
aggressive war plans have been aim-
ed of recent years. France has money
in abundanoe. She paid Germany a
princely indemnity for defeating her
In 1870. She could pay the sum again
today to purchase peace and not feel
it. But her peace is not threatened by
Germany, and she will lend her neigh-
bor the money for Interest and anoth-
er consideration.
France lost more than money to Ger
many in the great war of 1870. The
province of Alsace-Lorraine passed to
German ownership along with the im-
mense treasure. The inhabitants of
the province call themselves French
and have always been unhappy under
German control. Germany has tre-'
ed the people of the conquered prov-
ince after the usual manner of con-
querors. They have felt the iron heel
and have often protested, but to no
purpose. France has never been able
to champion their cause. Now It is
said that in return for the loan of
money by French bankers Germany
will grant the appeals of the ^eople
for greater autonomy. The French
masses have never forgiven Germany
for her action in taking French terri-
tory after the fall of Sedan. But il
the people of the conquered territory
are pacified by more lioeral treatment
one cause of reaction between these
two warlike neighbors will be removed
and money from the vaults of French
bankers will play the role of peace-
maker.
Oklahoma City got up their usual
excitement late last week and Just as
the floods were blocking travel on
the railroads. There Is nothing like
remaining in the search lights of fame
even If it does require the stae mili-
tia to complete the Job. Oklahoma
City is certainly welcome to the most
of her advertising schemes, unless
tsey are based on more creditable
bases than some they have been pull-
ing off recently.

The floods which have crippled rail-
road traffic for several weeks past
are continually being given life by
excessive rains. The like has never
before been known In Oklahoma, and
perhaps never again exist. The con
ditions of the railroads is dally be-
coming worf.e, bridge after bridge is
falling and miles of track are being
weakened. And the end Is not yet
in sight.
Besides the damage to the railroads
is the damage to crops. The potato
crop is practically a total loss, while
all kinds of agricultural products are
suffering from the excessive moist-
ure. Not only in Oklahoma is this
the case, however, but reports from
all parts of the country are to the
same effect.
Ix>cally, conditions could not oe
much worse. Monday evening abour
4:30 o'clock, following the excessivo
and oppressive heat of the day, storm
clouds began o gather, and two dis-
tinct cyclones were seen to form anr
pass near Shawnee These were fol-
lowed by a down pour of rain and
hail, which continued for two hours.
The heat remained oppressive most
of the night.
This morning at 7 o'clock an im-
mense bank of threatening black*
clouds extending from the southwest
to the northeast, and rapidly driving
In a southeasterly direction, were ob-
served by thousands of citizens. The
cloud exhibited many peculiar feat-
ures, the forward edge being in the
shape of numerous convolutions from
which hung a dark veil of lace-llko
clouds of somewhat lighter hue. Tbo
storm broke at about 7:30 o'clock, ac-
companied by a heavy rain driven Into
spray by the terrific wind. The tem-
perature dropped suddenly as the wind
began to blow, following an oppres-
sive calm. The streets were soon
flooded, the streets being deserted
during the worst of the storm, which
continued for several hours.

The railroad situation is getting
decidedly complicated. Unsafe track,
briges gone, wrecks and one thing an-31
another, has thrown everything into j
confusion, and it is a brave man or [
woman who attempts to go anywhere
at present.
The Rock Island is running both di-
rections out of Shawnee, but on very
uncertain tie. A wreck between Sein-
lnole and Wewoka further complicated
matters last night and delayed 41, due
at 4:0, until 10:30 this morning. A
stub 41 was run out of Shawnee on I ~
time. | Deafness Cannot Be Cured
In front of 41 was Santa Fe train 1 by Iocal applications, as they cannot

Cochran, Qa., writes: "I had a bad

affecting a perfect cure." Sold under

at Ardmore and reached here via
Haileyville bound for Oklahoma City
Upon arriving here the engine was
taken to the south yards of the Santa
Fe for more fuel, being an oil burner,
and the train was brought to the pas-
senger station by a Rock Island switch
engine. The train was iced and wa-
tered here. The Rock Island will han-
dle two trains a day; each way for
the Santa Fe between Oklahoma City,
Haileyville and Ardmore until furthe"
notice.
The Katy is running about as usua1,
though on very uncertain hours. The
track Is open from Oklahoma City al-
most to Little river, southeast of Shaw
nee.

THE NEWS—40C PER MONTH.
There is only one way to cure deaf-
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafnes is caused by an
Inflamed condition of th-> mucous lin-
ing of the Eustachiau Tube. When
this tube Is Inflamed you have a rum-
bling sound or Imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
atlon can be taken out and thi3 tube
restored to Its normal condition, hear-
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca-
tarrh, which Is nothing but an Inflam-
ed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars, free.
