Farmers Awaking.
^JASK AND YE SHAl.l. receive."
All over the country the people nre ,
meeting ntid discussing the cause of
the hard times and the complaint is (
,going up that the middle mau is mak-
ing too much profit. And in some
places they (the people) are putting in
stores, cotton gins and patronizing
them instead of those already built.
Now 1 am opposed to anything of that
kind. 1 believe in patronizing the
men in all the professions as long as
they do a legitmate business and only
restrict those that do not. The new
constitution of Oklahoma restricts t *e
banker and money loaner to 10 per cent
interest on their money, 0 percent is
the legal rate but by contract they can
charge 10 per cent,but it they po above
6 per cent they forfeit double the a-
mount of the interest. Now I would
suggest to keep the mlidle man
from extortioning on his customers
that he be limited to 15 or 20 per cent
profit on his goods and hand this res-
triction around to the lumberman,
coal-dealer, implement man, and all of
them. That leaves the farmer on the
farm and these men in their business
that they have studied a ,d understand
Hut 9ays someone "The Farmers can
never get any legislation." I say th«y
can. I want to ask you farmers how
many of you ever wrote a letter to
your Representative in Congress or the
State Legislature stating what laws
you wanted. Or in all the Lodges and
assemblies of the people has there been
resolutions passed and sent to the law-
makers asking them to pass laws for
the benifitof the common people? This
is a promise of God, "Ask and ye shall
receive."
The people can elect, men to office
that will regulate frieght rates and do
away with the boards of trade if they
will only vote together. The common
people are more numerous than these
men in business and they hold the
votes and cau pass any law that is just
readers to read this imperfect article
and hiing out the many good things 1
tailed to bring out, and we (the
farmers) together will do a great work
for our country. If we are not compe-
tent to do great things ourselves, we
will stir them up who are and cause
them to do good to all.

Sad Death At Hayward.
The little two-year-old child of Mr.
and Mrs. Stanton Derrington met
death in a peculiar manner last Friday.
It was sitting at the table eating and
in slipping from its high chair caught,
ils chin on the table, hanging itself.
When the mother found it a f'^w min-
utes later life was extinct. The fami
Iy is widely known in that community
and,deep sympathy is felt everywhere.
—Marshall Tribune.
and right, But i want to warn the
farmers and laborers that since the
constitution of Oklahoma has honored
them with a vote that counts they
should do everything in their power to
cast that vote in a way that will give
justice to all and special priviledges to
none.
I want to further call the atten-
tion of the rural people to the fact that
there has been a bill introduced in the
legislature of Oklahoma, providing for
state system of education and manda-
tory county high schools. Now this is
a question of vast importance to the
rural people. If the county seats are
to have all the high schools, then it
follows that if the inral children ever
get more than what little education
they can get in the district schools,
that is not often more than a primary
school, they will have to leave home
and go to town and leave their homes
in the hands of tenants that have no
interest in the farm and the expense in
town will bankrupt the people that at-
tempt it. The people that pay the tax
sI.ojIu !;eep their part of th: schorl
with them, 1 favor a townithip graded
sch',o'for the educifion of thermal
children or at least prupare thein lor a
high school. IIow could an old msiii
and woman farm a half section of J
land and educate a half dozen children
in a city school. So you see this means |
no education or education and bank- j
ruptcy. The rural people can get these
thlugs if they will ;,^k for them at the
right time. But if they go on in a care.

Now I want to ask the Sentinel

"Now, Johnny, what is a legislature?
"Please,mum, it's a body of men sur-
rounded by gas and other trustt, and
individual members are sometimes
offered as much as $2,000 for their
votes."
"For what purpose does a legislature
assemble?"
"To make laws with holes in 'em,and
give tax payers au idea that there is
something doing."*
"Of what does a legislature consist?"
"Of a senate,a house,a lobbdy.a dozen
lawyers, about 850,000 in cash and lots
of gab."
"What is Congress?"
"A large body of men selected by the
railroads and the trusts, and surround-
ed by more temptations than a legisla-
ture."
"IIow is it formed?''
"Of a senate, a house, unlimited
boodle, aud more or less prerogatives t"
"What is a prerogative ?"
"Stealing government land, whack
ing up with rings, selling inside infor
matiou to speculators and heading off
committees appointed to investigate
the beef trusts and the railroads."

Cow Peas.
While our farms produce good crops
of corn it is noticable that the corn
stocks are of almost phenominal pize
with ears not in proportion to the
stock. By proper analysis of the soil
it is ascertained that when such condi-
tions exist the soil is lacking iu nitro-
gen
Soil appear to need three eiemeuts to
be productive, as follows: humus, pot- j
ash, and nitrogen. When the soil is !
lacking m nitrogen it will produce I
large plants but little grain.
A soil may be too close, like clay, or
too open like tand. It may become j
exhausted of salicious properties and
small graiu will not stand up to ripen
but the principal concern necessary
for the farmers in ihe vicinity of Gar-
ber is to increase th? quantity of nitro-
gen in the soii when they can raise an
average of 60 bushels of corn per acre
on much of our land. The soil can be
reinforced with an abiindence of this
element without purchase as the air
is four fifths nitrogen and It is only
necessary to grow crops of leguminous
plants, such as cow peas, or soy beans,
the hay of which is very rich feed and
most valuable for all animals on the
iarm. If the farmers of this vicinity
would adopt this system, put at least
one third of their land in cow peas
each year their la id would soon be
brought to a high slate of fertility aud
I heir bank accounts increase accord-
ingly
The above cannot apply to the pro
gressive g< vernment of Oklahoma as
the Initiative and referendum, even in
the crippled condition to which it was
reduced by threats from republican
administration leaders, is a sufficient
menace to legislative infamies that
trust lobbies cannot thrive and are not
in evidence In Guthrie this session,
Men like Asp must find some other job
and by the way is it any wonder that
all professional grafters, newspaper
policy mougere,party leaders like Hun
ter and the whole gang of Rough
RiderB fought a constitution that des
troyed their occupation and relegated
them to honesl business?

Rural Route Patrons.
Postmaster at Garber, Okla., desires
to call attention to the practice of some
patrons of rural delivery of placing
loose coin in their boxes each time
they desire to dispatch letters instead
of supplying themselves with postage
in advance of their needs.
This practice imposes undue hard-
ship on rural carriers in removing
loose coins from boxes aud delays
them on the service of their rjutes.
The postmaster, therefore, urgently
requests that patrons of rural delivery
provide themselves and keep on hand
a supply of stamps consistent with aud
in advance of their needs. It is also
very desirable that rural patrons pl w
In their mail boxes small detachable
cups of wood or tin in which to place
coins, when necessary, in purchasing
supplies of stamps.
