I That Woodward, Harper, Beaver and
Eli!® counties. In the extreme northwest
j corner of Oklahoma, will raise even bet-
; ter crops than usual, is the statement
I of H. R. Kent, one of the prominent
i farmers In the vicinity of Woodward.
He has 1,360 acres In cultivation, alto-
gether, and says that practically all of
I the crops he has planted will bring In
good return.
J While some portions of the stafe have
; heen praying for rain the northwest has
j been saying nothing and Just cultivating.
! According to Mr. Kent, they received
8 09 inches of rain during February, and
j over five Inches during March, April and
May There were a number of local
showers In June, and July Is giving them
even more moisture than thev need.
"Not later than yesterday I rode
through my corn field on a horse and
the tops of the corn struck me from the
waist to the shoulders when mounted on
a horse sixteen hands high," said Mr.
Kent. "This corn is not all tasseled out
yet, and If It does not make fifty' bushel*
per arre this year It will be on account
of some future calamity striking it, as
we now liave plenty of molnture In the
ground to complete all of the standing
crops, I can safely gay to you, there
is not one farm In all this country where
the crops will be plowed up and replant- j
ed to something else on account of the
failure of the first planting to make
good."
The claim is made that 1911 bids fair
to be the banner year for corn, kaflr
corn, broom corn, milo maize, sorghum, '
alfalfa and other forage crops. Oats are 1
running forty bushels to the acre and
wheat will run from fourteen to forty
bushels per acre. Altogether, north- {
western Oklahoma seems to be in first- i
class condition and the farmers In that
portion are resisting any talk of thla !
being a "dry year," for them, at least. j

'Nothing Doing," Says Clerk;
Free Press Sleuth Proceeds to
"Dig Up" Two Good Stories
"Any new cases filed?" asked a re-
porter of one of Clerk Jim Beatty's depu-
ties, Friday morning es he stepped Into
the office of clerk of the superior court.
'Nothing doing," was the reply
But before the reporter left the office
he paused to glance on the appearance,
and saw that two new cases had been
filed, ntimbered 1825 and 1826. Jotting
down the numbers, he turned and aske.l
the clerk to show him the two petitions.
They were produced at once, one of them
being fllM away In the vault, the other
one under the clerk's desk, with the fil-
ing mark hardly dry upon It

Lee-Huckins Hotel
Josie Laux His story, as told bv Judge
John Feland, in the petition, does not
place his "help-mate" In a very envia-
ble light Laux says that he married
her in Little Rock, Ark., on May 21, 1908,
and that she was a grass widow at the
time, with five children. Soon afterwards
they came to Oklahoma City, and he
claims that she Immediately began to
make life a nightmare to him, and that
she made all sorts of accusations against
him, based only on "her suspicious na-
ture, excited by Ignorance and deviltry."
Then he says that she slipped off to
Little Rock, where her five children had
been left In the custody of her father,
: kidnapped them and brought them hack
i 10 be a buMen on him. As an example
! f her actions, he gives the following:
"Aftt*r a wearisome day of toll In her
behalf, she nagged him with the assur-
ance that she would use a gun on him
as soon as he reposed in the arms of
I Morpheus, accompanying her threats with
,the clatter of her pistol, as she went
to bed." And he says that was but one
of many threats.
He further charges that she frequented
a questionable place, associated with the
lowest classes of the community, be-
came a confirmed drunkard, enamoured
with the glare of the electrics, and that
she stayed away until "the gray of the
early morning" When he remonstrated
with her, telling her that It would ruin
her reputation to be seen smoking.cigars
and drinking whisky, she replied that
"she was a lady and the public could be
d d."
He enumerates his property, all of
which he values at about >1,500 and asks
that the court make an equitable divi-
sion of It.
The other story is also one of domestic
infelicity, in this case, the wife being
the plaintiff Vera Adkins is her name
and she says that she was married to
M. M. Adkins In Higgins, Texas, October
1, 1909. From the second day after they
were married, she alleges that he began
a course of cruel and Inhuman treatment,
cursing her, calling her unmentionable
nam^s, and threatening to strike her. At
the same time he began to drink heav-
ily and would frequently come home at
all hours of the night 1n a maudlin con-
dition.
In addition to all of the above, she says
that he absolutely refused to support her.
although he was an able-bodied man and
capable of earning a fair salary Ajid as
she already has to work to support her-
self. she says that she can see no rea-
son why she should remain tied to him
In the bonds of matrimony, wherefore
she asks that Bhe be released.
