WHO GETS THE BIO PROFITS?
It has been insisted by some of
those who are honestly concerned
about the high cost of living that the
simplets and most direct way of de-
termining where the cost of food un-
duly accumulates is to go to the pro-
ducer and from him trace any par-
ticular product until it reaches the
consumer. In this manner it would I
be possible to place the blame for |
unreasonable profits. Within the last,
few weeks this suggestion has
off 56 pounds in 30 years is trimming
down pretty lively. Possibly, instead
of cultivating the esthetic, the Ameri-
can hog is merely contributing to the
higher cost of living, decreasing his
weight while consumers increase in
number.
lilfltMNU BUSH EVANGELISTS.
The Burning Bush Evangelists ex-
pect to hold meetings for another
week in thr City Hall, including Sun-
^ . . .. _ .day, March 12. The attendance is
brought forth some interesting com- . . , ,
o.h increasing and the interest Is deep-
ening. The shouting and leaping for
munications from the farmers and
small storekeepers in the country
towns which prove, if they prove
anything, thai the farmer is not get-
ting more than a decent price for his
products, while the consumer is pay-, . ,
. ion the subject of Bible demonstra-
ing extortionate rates. Somewhere!
along the line between these
joy, which at first excited great mirth
and some ridicule, is appearing more
'easonable to Shawnee citizens as
the Scriptures are brought to bear
treuies there is a handler who gets
more than his just share of profits.
If a farmer brings his eggs to his
local merchant, for example, and
sells them at 11 cents a dozen, it
does not stand to reason that by the
time these same eggs reach the con-
sumer they should cost twice that
sum. But that appears to be the
fact. One estimate outlines the trans-1
action thus: Original price paid to j
the farmer by the country store- j
keeper, 11 cents a dozen; cost of
transportation, 1 cent a dozen; di-j
vided between the commission mer-|
chant and the retail grocer, 8 cents'
a dozen; cost to the consumer, 20 j
cents a dozen. We are not, of
course, prepared to verify this state-
j tlon of joy.
Everybody is most cordially In-
vited, and prayerful people are re-
quested to pray for a revival.
Most earnestly yours for the sal-
vation of souls,
REV. H. L. HARVEY,
For the Burning Bush.

THK HOGS' CONTRIBUTION.
The American hog is becoming es-
thetic. It regards its ancestors as
too much given to avoirdupois, it
wishes a more delicate waist line and
less prominence of hips. It objects
to being used as a term of contempt
by humans aud would no longer have
"a great hog" for figure of American
Bpeech, says the Sioux City Tribune.
What other conclusion can be drawn
from the statistics culled by the man
of ilgures of the agricultural depart-
ment. Each decade he shows, ex-
hibits a diminishing average weight
or the hogs that go to slaughter In
the packing house abattoirs. From
an average in 1870-09 of 275 pounds
the weight has fallen In each suc-
ceeding decade until that of 1900-09
is but 219 pounds. To have knocked

FOR ECONOMY RFPORIS ARE IN
Oklahoma City, March 3.—Assert-
ing that the normal schools of Okla-
homa are at present little more than
high schools, and that there Is ample
room in them for all students who
wish to attend, if they were held
strictly to their proper province as
normal schools, Gov. Cruce Thursday
sent a message to the senate an-
nouncing his veto of the senate bill
by McMechan and Colville appro-
priating $100,000 for a new building
for the Central State Normal School
at Edmond, and $15,000 for its equip-
ment.
He also intimated very strongly
that the other normals would receive
similar treatment.
Immediately following the receipt
of the message, in which the senate
concurred by a unanimous vote, a
new bill was introduced by Senators
McMechan and Colville and Repre-
sentatives Bolen, Wright, DeFord and
Peebly, appropriating $50,000 for a
building at Esmond. It is understood
that teh governor has agreed to ap-
prove a bill for that amount. He
stated in his message that tho school
at Edmond has the largest enroll-
ment of any of the normal schools,
and that it is the school that was
entitled to an appropriation, if any
theni are.

HKtOMF NATIONAL BANKS.
Two Oklahoma Organizations lime
Changed Their Charters.
Oklahoma City, March 3.—Two of
ihe strongest state banks in Okla-
homa have changed from state banks
to antional banks, one of them be-
ing the Noble State Bank of Noble,
which recently carried the test case
of the Okalhoma bank guaranty law
before the United States supreme
court. The bank opened under a na-
tional bank charter Wednesday.
The Oklahoma State Bank of
Chickasha, one of the strongest banks
in that city, changed from a state
bank to a national bank. These
changes, it is said, may be followed
within a short time by other state
banks changing to national banks.
Oklahoma City, March 3.—Probably
4,000 out of 5,000 corporations in Ok-
lahoma made reports to Internal
Revenue Collector Knott during the
last three weeks. Wedensday, March
1, was the last day of grace allowed
by the federal government to make
'hese reports.
The reports are made to the United
States government for the purpose of
showing how much business each
corporation transacted during the
year 1910, and what their net in-
comes were. On the net incomes of
all corporations in exoess of $5,000
the government collects an excise
tax of 1 per cent. Corporations that
failed to make the report required
by law will be taxed an additional
50 per cent. The tax of 1 per cent
on $1,000 is $10 and on the same
sum with tho 50 per cent penalty
added, the tax will be $15, and so on.
All corporations in the state are
absolutely required to submit re-
ports, although they may not have
transacted any business, in which
event there would be no assessment
Failure to make reports is pnnish-
able by both lines and imprisonment.
There are about 1,000 corporations,
approximately, yet to be heard from.

MONTANA 10 HAVE
BUI ONE SENATOR
Helena, Mont., March 3.—Unless
the deadlock is broken today, Mon-
tana will be but half represented In
the federal senate for the next two
years. Tonight at midnight the ses-
sion expires by limitation and, al-
though Democratic leaders are hope-
ful that an agreement may be reached
which will result in the selection of
a compromise candiate, there is noth-
ing on the surface to indicate im-
portant breaks in the alignment of
the forces on either side.

MANY ARGUMENTS
IN KICKAPOO GASES
Guthrie, Okla., March 3.—That the|
offenses with which W. L. Chapman,
A1 Brown and L. C. Grimes are
charged are only misdemeanors and
therefore do not subject them to ex-
tradition to Mexico was the argument
advanced by their attorneys in the
federal court here Thursday, to se-
cure their permanent release. It was
also argued in the defendants' be-
half that their crime, if any was
committed, would be barred by the
statute of limitation in Mexico; that
the offense, if committed at all, was
committed jointly In Mexico and the
United States; that under Judge Cot-
teral'8 recent decision, holding the |
Kickapoo land deeds null and vold.|
no forgery of deeds could have been
possible when the instruments were I
void; that the defendants are clti-,
zens of the United States and not]
subject to extradition; and, finally, |
that the United States government,
and not the Republic of Mexico, is
prosecuting the cases in order to dis-
possess the Kickapoo land holders of
their holdings. The hearing was be-
fore Judge Pollock. In all probabil-
ity there will be a complete review
of all the evidence in the case be-
fore Judge Pollock gives his de-*
cision. Tho attorneys are again asn-
ing bail for the prisoners.
Friday, March 3, 1911, this bank will celebrate her first birth-
day. Our first year's business has been vastly beyond our
expectations. We are indeed thankful to the people of Shaw-
nee and surrounding country, to whom we are indebted for
the upbuilding of this husky young yearling.

MAKING GOOD
There is no way c>r>naking Listing friends like "Making Good"; and
Dr. Pierce's medicines well exemplify this, and their friends, after more
than two decades of popularity are numbered by the hundreds of thou-
sands. They have " made good " and they have not made drunkards.
A good, honest square-deal medicine of known compos"tion is
Dr. Pierce's Golden Biedleal Discovery.
It still enjoys an immense sale, v. hile most of the preparations that 'have come into promi-
nence in the earlier period of it. popularity have "gone by the board" and are never
more heard of. There must be so:.":' rc \"on for this long-time popularity and that is
to be found in its superior merits. When once {riven a fair trial f >r weak stomach, or
for liver and blood affections, its superior curativu qualities arc soon manifest; hence it
has survived and grown in popular favor, while scores of less meritorious articles have
suddenly Hashed into favor for a brief period and then been as soon forgotten.
Fo* a torpid liver with ltd attendant indigestion, dyspepsia,
headache, perhaps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated tongue,
with bitter taste, loss of appetite, with distress after eating,
nervousness and debility, nothing is as good as Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery.
It's an honest, square-deal medicine with all its ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper—
no secret, no hocus-pocus humbug, therefore don't accept a substitute that the dealer may
make a little bigger profit. Insist on your right to have what you call for. Don't buy
