The fact in the cow is the
greatest money-maker for the
farm. Of course she must be

regularly and protected from
the winter storms. Four good
cows given the right kind ol

FIRST NATIONAL
BANK
We Want To Co-opperate
with the Record to help the farmers of this vicinity
to secure more and better milk cows.
We will loan you money with which to buy
them at a very low rate.
Come in and see us about it.
Your account is always welcome, whether it is
large or small or whether you deposit or borrow.
We have private money to loan on farm lands at
the lowest rates. Your note is made payable at our
bank and all the papers are kept in our vault. Talk it
over with us before renewing your loan or borrowing
elsewhere.
BECOMES A "JINER"
O. D. Fairbanks has joined
the Men's Home Garden Club,
and he says he will take ad-
vantage of the Record's sug-
gestion as to the planting of
i potatoes, viz., the alternate
rows of onions and potatoes,
I the odor from the onions caus-
j ing the eyes of the potatoes to
weep, thus making at all times
a seasonable soil condition
that will avoid the disastrous
drouth effects.
HAD A GOOD TIME
Markham, Okla., Feb.17.—
Dr. M. B. Prentiss of ths city,
republican candidate for sec-
retary of state, in 1914, in
speaking of the contest for
national committeeman said:
"If there is a republican in the
state of Oklahoma that be-
lieves the party can be best
served with Jim Harris at the
steering wheel let him be-
come a candidate for a state
office and go out among the
rank and file of the republi-
can voters of the state in his
campaign, and when he has.
finished I will venture the as-
sertion that he will be heard
asking for new leadership, as
he will then realize the cause
of our defeat in the past.
"I know whereof I speak,
for I had an opportunity in
the last state campaign while
making a thorough canvass of
the state, to get in perfect
touch with the true sentiment
of the voters of our party in
this matter and 1 was amazed
| to find the apathy and dis-
I content that existed, and I
wish to say right here and
now that, in my humble judg-
ment, we have no chance to
win unless there is a new deal,
and that we cannot hope to
profit from the many blunders
our opponents have made and
