Just got back from Colorado; from
the temples of the Gods, where the
lofty "rocky fountains" spouted forth
their awful floods. Seen the ruin:, of
Puebla where the waters crushed the
town; where the current left destruc-
tion in the valley sweeping down.
I am pleased with Oklahoma and I
feel that home has charm, for there is
no placc that's grander than right here
upon the farm; here among my old-
time neighbors; with the chickens and
the hogs and we had a friendly greeting
from our twain of collie dogs.
Listened to familiar voices coming
thru the telephone and it more than
ever made me feel that I was surely
home. Mr. Mick has sold his puppies,
all but seven, eight or nine and he says
they paid him better than the best in
farming line.
Miss Safranek is still courted by her
aviating beau, but her steady, August
Brunken, says he's no where else to go.
Has been searching thru the heavens
_ with a strong electric light but he
missed his stealthy rival in his efforts
every night.
Owen Stam has now some cattle that
are worth their weight in gold, they've
been trained to jump the fences, all
but two that's getting old, and they'll
beat the highest record; Joseph Friend
says he'll allow they will beat all other
jumpers, all but Mother Goose's cow.
Farming now is so deflated that it's
almost down and out; to possess our
souls with patience we must banish
fear and doubt; we should cherish
hopes of Heaven in a better world than
this, where the wicked cease from
troubling and where taxes always miss.
Nicholas Friend has got a harvest of a
thousand million frogs, he has got them
sure and certain without countkig
polliwogs, and their songs have been
most deafening when the rains were
coming down; he will strain them from
,he mire and will haul them into town.
Deacon Bradford's corn has ta>seled
and they feast on roasting ear, he has
got out eighty acres and he's feed for
all the year; he has acres of alfalfa and
he's chickens that can crow; he will
live in peace and plenty and attend the
picture show.
Harry Moore's fine herd of jerseys
still persist in giving milk, they have
fattened up completely and their coats
are fine as silk, they should sell for
fancy prices for they've points that
aught to please and their milk is good
for making a pronounced limburger
cheese.
All the folks in Pumpkin Ce ter will
be answering the call for to meet and
be instructed in the Garber city hall.
Monday we'll be told the methods and
the scientific way, how to shun all
heavy losses—how to make our farm-
ing pay.
They will tell of herds of cattle that
are proof against the trust, that will
make the packers tremble with a fear
that they may bust; every trust will
seek salvation and all promise to be
good, when us hayseeds arm for battle
and our plans are understood.
Stockings and Goat
A family recently moved into the
building back of this office rented by
Mrs. Allen, who are the happy posses-
ses of a young black goat. The animal
is kept tied up and not allowed to
skermish the alleys in quest of tin cans
and other delicacies and for this reason
it failed to secure some certain kind of
provender necessary to its health and
happiness.
For several days its lamentations
called forth the sympathy of this neigh-
borhood.
One morning the goat ceased its
"hark from the tomb," and appeared
to be contented and happy. In the
meantime, Mrs. Allen's stockings, that
she had laid by for the wash, had sud-
denly disappeared, and betwten
Brownie the pup and Billie goat,
after a solemn council of war and a
careful examinasion of the two pets,
it was decided that the goat was the
guilty party. Instead of pining away
the goat is now thriving and growing
remarkably well.
Those stockings that needed clean-
sing, contained some element of food
that the unhappy animal stood very
much in need, the same as some per-
sons with abnormal appetites, hunger
for such element of food as contained
in limburger cheese.
Agricultural Meeting
For Sale
A quantity of second-hand lumber,
2x4s—2x6s, drop siding, cypress lath,
etc. All in good shape and a bargain.
OTHO BAKER,
37-tf At Planing Mill.
Is it a fact after all that climatic con-
ditions that come about in certain
cycles of years has its influence in pro-
ducing wars? Until recently, notwith-
standing the conditions of a war-weary
world, it seemed that everybody want-
ed to fight. Until very recently even
our statesmen would notenter'ain any j
proposition that might tend towards
peace, but now a radical change ap-
peurs to have come about. The lion
and the lamb proposition is outclassed
when the fighting Irish become tame
peacemakers, and even Uncle Sam is
proposing to take the chip off his
shoulder. Has the influence of Mars
passed away and shall the Star of
Bethleham and "PEACE ON EARTH
AND GOOD WILL AMONG MEN'
prevail?
Next Monday is the date set for the
most impertant event that ever oc-
! curred in Garber. A campaign is being
made, assisted by the Rock Island
lines, to improve the methods of agri-
culture by introducing to the farmers
the various kinds of improved stock
and poultry.
Talented speakers will assist Mr. J.
A. Wilson, of the State Agricultural
College, in his efforts to interest and
instruct the crowd.
The question as to what the future
of farming is to be is an important
question to every farmer living in this
vicinity. If wheat will not pay, what
will? If a change is to be made in
farming what will be a safe change and
profitable change? Will grain cropB
arid forage crops be dependable enough
to build up herds of fine stock? Can
silos be built and filled to carry herds
of stock thru the lean years! What are
the future possibilities of farming in
Oklahoma! Will extended drouthg
prevail in future years or is western
irrigation increasing rainfall from the
mountains to eastern lowlands? What
assurance can we have that an avar-
icious trust may not again destroy the
cattle industry, and if fancy herds are
built up at great expense and labor
what manner of protection can the
farmers depend on to save them from
wholesale loss by the manipulation of
the packing trusts, as at the present
time?
These are questions that all are con-
sidering and every farmer in the vicin-
ity should turn out to the meeting next
Monday and hear what the. representa-
tive speakers have to say on the possi-
bilities of improved farming.
An Important Truce
The truce in Ireland is of importance
to the whole world, and of very vital
importance to Ireland and England. It
brings to a' temporary close, and it is
hoped to a permanent end, the blood-
iest chapter in all the distressful history
of Ireland since the English occupation
began, 700 years ago. Both sides have
halted the gruesome war that has cost
so much and has left such deep scars
upon_the fair land of Erin. It hardly
seems possible that the war can be re-
resumed, once the Irish and English
soldiers begin fraternizing in thestreets.
Griffith and De Valera, Republican
leaders, are at liberty, and soon will be
sitting in council with the highest p,
itical representatives of the country
with which they have been at war for
so long.
It is reported, on what ground it is
difficult to determine, that the Bri i-h
offer will be one of dominion home
rule, such as Canada has, with the
Ulster minority taken care of as is the
Quebec minority in Canada. It seem*
not improbable that the Irish leaders
will submit such a proposition, if they
have a chance, to their followers with
recommendations for its acceptance.
That would fall sompwhat short of ab-
solute independence, but it would be far
j ahead of anything the English govern-
ment ever before offered to Ireland.
And independence would come in due
time, as it will come to Canada and
Australia.
A prospect of a peaceful Irish nat on,
even though tied to England by a
slight and unwelcome b md, should be
quite a temptation to Irish republicans
who have lived through the last three
bloody years.—Wichita Eagle.
have some prize pet s ock with a liberal
amount of fruits and flowers to interest,

there is no placc like home and in after
years they will remember as the most
joyous part of their life the old farm
home.

Farm Homes
Too manyof our farms are not homes
in the sense they should be. Where
they are all put out to wheat and th
family depend on living out of tin
cans and paper sacks; no garden; no
orchard; no shadey grove, there is very
little charm and far less thrift, there is
no charm of home; they are not living,
just staying.
Where the family can make pets oe
fancy stock and prize chickens there is
a charm in farming, and what is more
inspiring t-n have and to watch the un-
folding and maturing, during the spring
and summer season, of various fancy
fruits and flowers.
The time is here and now when the
farms of this country must furnish
more of the necessaries of life for more
families and a greatly increased num-
ber of inhabitants. From war-stricken
Europe people are coming to this
country by the millions and this por-
tion of this country will be required to
furnish homes for many of them
If all of our forms were utilized r9
some of them are, there would be no
need for the heads of the various
departments and railroad systems to
send out their ngents in an effort to ln
troduce improved systems of farming.
If the boys and girls on the farms can

Gentlemen—Referring to the agri-
cultural meeting in your city, July
18th, inasmuch as the party will spend
the night with you, should you feel like
arranging for an evening meeting of the
business men and others Interested to
discuss the subjects outlined, we will be
glad if you will go ahead and arrange
for same, so that it could be announced
at the afternoon meeting; at the same
time bearing in mind that we want the
afternoon meeting to be the real big
meeting.
We have advice this morning that we
will have the pleasure of having with
us during the week Doctor C. L. Nel-
son, of the Fidelity Supply Co., Okla-
homa City, Oklahoma, who will, I
think, give us a short talk on "An
ounce of prevention is better than a
ton of cure." I might say that Doctor
Nelson is a recognized leader in his line
of business and will give us some
mighty gotd advice covering the pre-
vention rather than cure of hog chol-
era, black leg and other diseases, at the
sametime, he will give us some mighty
good snappy information and advise on
the rat problem.
Yours very truly,
Alexander Jackson,
Agricultural Agent.
Proofreader's Nemesis
"What's the matter?" inquired the
foreman, as he entered the sanctum for
copy and noted tne editor's bleeding
nose, swollen forehead, puffed, red
eye, and tattered, dusty coat.
"Fall down stairs?" "No—only that,'!
replied the editor, pointing his finger
to a paragraph before him. "It's our
account of the Crapley-Smith wedding.
It ought to read,' Miss Smith's dimpled]
shining face formed a pleasing contrast
with Mr. Crapley's strong, bold phys-
iognomy.' But see how it is printed."
And the foreman read, "Miss Smith's
pimpled, skinny face formed a pleasing
contrast with Mr. Crapley's stony;
bald physiognomy." "Crapley was
just in here," continued the editor,
throwing one bloodstreaked h ndker-
chief into the waste-basket and feeling
in his pockets for a clean one," and he
—but just send that fool of a proof-
1 reader in here! There's fight left in
me yet!"—Exchange (?).

Roasting ears have been brought into
town in great plenty this week and
everybody has been feasting on the
succulent corn. With good butter to
smother all the grains to the cob of
nicely matured and properly cooked
roasting ears, what is more appetizing?
Just to take a good plump ear, thus
treated, right up with both hands and
with primal instinct, eat it right off the
cob, with chin and cheeks all oily with
butter, without any restraint of eti-
quette, comes as near to joys unspeak-
able when health and hunger appeal to
such repast, as can be found this side
of the Golden Gates.
