FARMER KILLED
«■
Tree Which He Had Felled
Fell On Him, Breaking
His Neck.
McLoud, Feb. 27.— Mr. Holder, a
farmer living nine miles northeast of

cident this morning.
He was just recovering from a long
spell of sickness and this morning
went out on his farm to cut down a
tree. The tree was leaning to the di-
rection from which the wind was blow-
ing and he chopped it off. But the
wind held it up. He walked out a lew
feet from the tree and sat down to
rest, when his little boy warned him
that the tree was falling. But he was
too feeble to get out of the way and a
limb from the tree struck him, break-
ing his neck, arm and leg.

WIRELESS TELEGRAMS.
A $3,000,000 fire in the heart of the
business section of Rochester, N. Y
yesterday destroyed three of the five
department stores of the city, many of
its best business buildings and threw
more than 2,500 people out of employ-
ment.
A triple floor scaffold in the dome
of the new postoffice building at Chi-
cago suddenly collapsed yesterday
afternoon carrying fifteen men Into
the first floor of the building, killing
them all. Scores of policemen and
firemen werequickly summoned to clear
away the debris and permit the recov-
ery of the bodies.
A loss of over two cents a bushel in
wheat prices caused wild excitement on
the board of trade at Chicago yester-
day. Wheat for May delivery, which
closed Thursday night at 107 1-2, sold
vesterday at 105 and the July option
was down 2 l-8o, selling at 9(i. Lower
prices at Liverpool were the principal
cause of the sharp decline.
Hospitality at Small Expense
Entertainment—that Is, pleasure to

tend hospitality. Christine Terhune

He who does not love trees is devoid
of some of the higher attributes and
"Hath no poetry in his soul." His
ideal of the beautiful is false and his
conception of the sublime is imperfect.
To be unable to interpret the language
of the forest is to be unlearned in
nature's most fascinating lore.
There is poetry in the green-wood.
What can be more inspiring than the
music of the forest? Earth never had
melody sweeter than the notes chanted
by the spirit of nature amid the open-
ing of buds and spreading of leaves
in spring, or the soothing songs heard
among the leafy bowers and sylvan
shades of summer time. It is a music
which may not be always perceptible
to the ear, but is felt in the heart and
heard in the soul.
The American forests were once the
pride of our country,but the destroyer
has been abroad in the land. With
ruthless hand he has devastated our
hills and valleys and robbed them of
much of their beauty, never mindful
of the fact that the hand that fells a
tree destroys in an hour an object of
beauty and usefulness which in its
nurture and development has possibly
required the handiwork of nature for
centuries. The wanton destruction of
our forests has almost been a national
folly.
Then let us make amends for the
mistakes of the past by planting tr
that will stand for us as living monu-
ments in the future, and by so doing
beautify our surroundings and make
glad the land In which we live.
In accordance with law, I, Thomp-
son B. Ferguson, governor of the ter-
ritory of Oklahoma, do proclaim Fri-
day, March 18, 19u4, as arbor day,
[ respectfully recommend that trees
be planted upon the farm, by the
roadside and in village, town and
city.
It is especially suggested that teach-
ers and pupils in our public schools i
devote some portion of this day to the |
planting of trees and appropriate,
exercises that will impress upon the
mind not only an ideal of the beauti-
ful in nature but also of the useful.
In testimony whereof I have here-
unto set my hand and caused the great
seal of the territory to lie aflixed, at
Guthrie this fifteenth day of February,
one thousand nine hundred and four.

Governor.

Reliable Cotton Statistics.
There is pending in the lower house
of congress a bill introduced bv rep-
resentative Burleson of Texas the ob-
ject of which is to secure complete and
reliable statistics of the south'sc itton
crop at the time they are most valu-
able in determining the market price
of }he staple, and to make such statis-
tics self-supporting, as it were, by a
mild system of taxation. It is report-
ed, whether truly or not, that Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson is in favor
of the measure.
The plan proposed by this bill is to
levy a tax of one mill on every bale of
cotton ginned, the ginner collecting
the tax and the statistics at the same
time. The department of agriculture
is to furnish the ginner printed form9
which he Is required to return proper-
ly filled at stated intervals, each form
to represent one ginned bale, and Dear
a special stamp of the value of one
mill. The revenue thus derived would
amount to $10,000 for an average crop
of 10,000,000 bales, and the theory of
the tax levy is that the sum per bale
would be so infinitesimal that it could
not be objected to by those most con-
cerned in having the cotton crop sta-
tistics gathered and reported in the
most direct and reliable manner pos-
sible. Under the provisions of the
bill the ginner pays the tax, but wheth-
er he is reimbursed in his dealing
with the farmer is left for conjecture.
There are safeguards provided against
the possible juggling of figureB, which
amount to a "publicity" system for
gin house books.
Aside from greatly simplifying the
present rather complex and round-
about method of gathering and report-
ing cotton crop statistics, it is held
that the Burleson system will save the
government a round half million dol-
lars, which could to better advantage
be devoted to helping the cotton pro-
ducers in other ways. The bill is said
in have considerable strength among
toe southern members of congress.and
the question involved in its presenta-
tion merits and will doubtless rective
free and intelligent discussion.
The idea of taxing cotton, even
nominally, to defray tho expense of
securing statistics of the crop, may
prove repugnant as a principle, and
would likely be regarded as an invid-
ious discrimination if the system were
not extended to the report of cereal
crops Be this as it may. the purpose
to perfect the present inadequate sys-
tem of obtaining cotton crop statistics
is thoroughly commendable, and it is
earnestly to be hoped that the cam-
paign will lead to the desired result
whether through the pending measure
or otherwise.
In conformity with the law and the j
above proclamation, I recommend
that all teachers In Lincoln county I
spend the afternoon of March 18 in j
carrying out the thoughts and pur- j
poses for which Arbor day was insti-
tuted. Make it a combined arbor and j
patron's day in your school district, j
Have a combined program by pupils
and patrons, and then proceed to
clean up and beautify your school [
ground, and close by setting out some
trees. While doing this you will be
planting kind thoughts, kind actions
and kind memories. He who plants
a tree plants not only for this genera-
tion but for others which will follow
and hence forgets self.
E. B. Shotwell,
County Supt.

" When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. It often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
iay give them Scott's Emul-
.ion.
It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
Scott's Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for deli?ate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
nnturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
1 or all weak and pale and
thin children Scott's Emulsion
\. the most satisfactory treat-
ment.
We will send you
the penny, /. e., a
sample free.
Be sure that this picture ii
the form a label is on ib.r
wrapper of every bottle o
Emulsion you buy.
