An addition to the Gray school house
is very much needed. It is almost

the moving of the school house to Gray
the attendance has greatly increased
and by the next fall it will have in

build up a town than anything else.
Let us get busy and make arrangementa
to have a more suitable school building

amount to $10 to $20 per acre, and no
costly rush to haryeat it In what ex-
clusively wheat country can you beat
that? Maize is just hi sure a crop here

80 oents per hundred? Why not feed
it to hogs or chickens, or cattle and get
twice 80 cents per hundred for it?

James R. Bonheur, senior member of
Bonheur Bros Golden Mascot Bhows
writes this editor from Norton, Texas,
that they bave had a most successful
season in Dixie land, and that their
show iB bigger and better than ever
before and that during the coming sea'
son they may take in Gray and the
country surrornding it, and promise if
they do that they will give our citizens
a rare treat in the show line. Bonheur
Bros, are veteran showmen and know
how to cater to the wants of the amuse'

There isn't a broom corn growing
country in the United States that isn'
worse off four yes re out of five by
reason of having tinkered with that
crop. The Bame condition prevails
everywhere. Farmers out here ^ho
have grown crops adapted to the
country have stayed here and made
money, while the broom corn growers
and men who wanted to get rich quick
growing wheat have had to pull out in
most cases. This is one ef the greatest
maze and Kafir growing sections in the
United States; in fact, the government
reports show it the beBt, and the farm
er now roaming around can make
it good if he comes back here, grows
these crops and feeds them to live
slock. Successful farmers everywhere
depend in no small measure on liye
stock and we hope te see the same con-
ditions prevail here more and more
every year. The vacuum cleaner has
made broom corn raising largely a crop
of history and the progressive
farmer will cut out that crop and go
into something be can handle with a
reasonable assurance of suecest. - Guy-
men Herald,
Injured in a Ranaway.
Wednesday morning, as H, B. Tarr
gentleman about 50 years of age, who
has been staying at the home of his
danghter, Mrs. E. R. Evans, north of
Gray, was driving into town one side
of the shafts became loose and striking
the horse on the heels causing the
animal to commence kicking, and turn-
ing short it upset the buggy, throwing
Mr. Tarr out, breaking both bones of
the right ankle. The unfortunate man
was at once conveyed to the office of
Dr. W. H. Rhodes, who after making
thorough examination, concluded that
the bones were shattered so bad that
it would be impossible to set them and
in fact he removed one piece of the
bone about a inch long, and recomended
that the injured man be tsken to a hos-
pital, where he could receive proper
treatment, and J„ H. Neufeld took him
to Liberal where accompanied by Earl
R. Evans he took the train for Enid.
Fears are entertained that it will be
necessary to amputate the limb. Mr.
Tarr is a carpenter and at the time of
the accident he was on his way to Gray
to erect a porch. in front of the Gray
hotel. The accident is a deplorable
one and it is hoped that it is not as
serioUi as at first supposed.

peeved because a diagnosis happens
to be not just what was ordered, or
falls to come up to specifications.
