How heartily I hate her!
Some night she'll come and mew till

And then I'll mew ti-later.
Drumright gave 1,500 pounds of

mako it 2,000 pounds this time.
Bobby, aged seven, was making hit
first visit to the zoo. Coming to a
cage marked "Female," he rushed up
to his mother in great excitement,
"Oh, mother," ho said, "I've al-
ways wanted to see a 'Female' and
here he is!"—Cartoons Magazine
The man who pins his faith in a
woman deserves to get stuck.
Give something—be it ever so
tie—to the Red Cross garment •

"What line is he in?"

Fruit prospects are excellent ac-
cording1 to all reports. No material
damage was caused by the recent
crld weather. The condition is aa
f jllows:
Peaches 78 per cent, apples 79
per cent, cherries 81 per cent. In
some of the southwestern counties
some trees are reported to have died
on account of continued drouth.
Of the land planted to spring crops
f> 1 per cent has been plowed up to
i the present. Farm work has been
held bac kin different parts of the
j state on account of the late season,
and in many cases the ground has
been too wet to work. This has held
| up the planting of cats, and may
cause a decrease in the final acre-
age.
The average price paid to the
farmer for butter is 41 certs
pound, and for eggs 30 cents a dozen.
I.ast year butter was selling at the
same figure and eggs at 39 cents.
The average growing condition of
wheat is 94 per cent. This is an in-
crease' of 2 per cent compared with
one month ago, and of 34 per cent as
compared to this date last year. In
the northwestern counties some slight
damage is reported, due to continued
high winds
Farmers will have on hand of the
1918 crop 9 per cent of corn, 2 per
cent of wheat, 9 per cent of oats and
,.,10 per cent of kafir and milo. There
has been consumed nnd marketed
Muring the past month <i per cent of
4 | corn, 2 per cent of wheat, 7 per cent
of oats and 6 per cent of kafir and
milo. Last year at this time farm-
ers had on hand of the 1917 crop
14 per cent of corn, 3 per cent of
wheat, 9 per cent of oats and 14 per
cent of kafir and milo.
The above report is made by W.

PRIVATE MILTON SP1EGLE
WRITES TO DAILY DERRICK
France, Feb. 28, 1919.
Mr. Allard and Friends,
Care Evening Derrick,
Drumright, Okla.
When I write the above it brings
memories of "good Drumright days,"
when I could enjoy an hour after
supper reading the Drumright Even-
ing Derrick, and get all the news.
And it makes we wish I were back
home again. Now the war is over
and we will have to stay in France
| until our turn comes to return,
j which, I think, will oe about August
! or September, unless some of the
| good Oklahoma and Texas people can
prove how bad their young blood is *
i needed at home. I don't mind say +
| in« that there are lots of Drumright T.
boys in the 36th division and I am £
sure that they all want to get home , £
as bad as I do. Texas and Oklaho- j
ma made up two divisions, the 90th | £
and 36th. I for one think we should I
be sent homo now. The 90th is on j i-
the sailing list to leave France in!
June, but that is a long time. I th'uk %
it is time that the people were wak- j r
ing up. | £
has been made possible by a broad general knowledge
of business and personal conditions in this community,
and the Tangible Service that it has always been our
policy to render.
On the basis of confidence, courtesy, and real personal
service, we invite your account.

I know that they stayed by us dur- j !j,
j mg the war by buying government J
bonds, saving food, giving up to the j -j-
| Ked Cross, etc., and it all did good,
j Now some talking may do some good.
I had a letter from John F.
j Pchm'dt of Drumright, who is with
! the 30th division heMdquntrers. He
I pnd I are planning oil a 14-dav leave
