Scafe, 12, were held Monday after-
noon at 4 o’clock. Burial followed in
Marena cemetery, with services in

According to i n f o r m a tion, the
youth died a few hours after a huge

Eighteen enumerators, taking an
agricultural census for the United
States department of commerce, are
expected to begin work in Payne
county early in January. Countv
farmers are urged to cooperate with
these enumerators to the fullest ex-
tent, since the information they col-
lect is of inestimable benefit to the
farmers.
With the government using regu-
latory measures to help agricultural
prices, it is important that “noses be
numberet!” on every farm. As an ex-
ample of the need for accurate in-
formation, the government cattle
program is cited. Last year when the
government was buying cattle, quo-
tas were fixed on the agricultural
census of 1930. In one county farm-
ers did not cooperate fully with the
enumerators and the quota to be
bought by the government was about
one-half as large as it should have
been, since the census showed only
half as many cattle as actually ex-
isted in that county.
It is understood that one enu-
merator will work in each township,
collecting such information as num-
ber of livestock, number of imple-
ments, mortgages, number keeping
account records, and other personal
information.

Gasoline Tax Check Is
Increased Over October
Numerous indications of better
times—times when money is being
spent with confidence and the assur-
ance that the future is bright—can
be found at the present timp, ob-
servers say. Another indication that
may be added to the Christmas sell-
ing record of county merchant”, the
increased demand for automobilese,
the renewed interest in homeowner-
ship and repairing of old residences,
is the fact that the county’s share of
the state gasoline tax for November
was far above that of the previous
month.
The November apportionment to
Payne county was $4,254.72. October
apportionment was $2,803.65. Sep-
tember apportionment was only $2,-
787.34.
At the present time this money is
tied up by protest, certain concerns
doing business in Payne county de-
manding that this money be spent to
retire the county's bonded indebted-
ness, assumed to complete a hard-
surfaced road program, costing $1,-
000,000. The county estimate called
for 45 per cent of the gasoline tax to
be spent on county highways, and 55
per cent to go to the sinking fund to
pay interest and principal on this
bond issue.

Not enough seed oats exists in
Payne county to supply demand, ac-
cording to present information. With
planting time less than a month away,
effort is being made by the county
agent to see that all persons wanting
to buy seedoats may do so. Persons
with seed to sell are urged to list
their names, amount for sale, quailty
and price
once.
Persons
requested
giving the amount of seed needed.
In the event not enough seed can
be secured, the government will sell a
supply of seed treated for smut to
county growers. Price will be 80
cents a bushel. Government seed may
be purchased through the county
agent only, in the event not enough
can be had locally.

RIPLEY MAN HELD
Charged with possession of whisky,
R. A. Hickman of Ripley is being
held in the Payne county jail, await-
ing arraignment. He was arrested by
George Harlson, deputy sheriff.
A quiat and sensible Christmas
was observed in all parts of the
county, Sheriff M. J. Bradley says.
Although he
until noon on
not receive a
noon, which
says. George
roborates Bradley’s statement.
George was called to a schoolhouse
Christmas program on Christmas
eve to keep law and order. He says
that not a single instance of disorder
was observed by him during the en-
tire evening. Jail records show not a
single arrest for drunkenness, a rec-
ord not equalled during the years of
prohibition.
Two automobiles, both 1934 Chev-
rolet coaches, stolen at Yale Friday
night, have been recovared, accord-
ing to information from Sheriff M.
J. Bradley. One of the stolen cars,
belonging to Frank Eads, was re-
covered shortly after it was stolen,
abandoned in the southeast part of
Payne county. Its supply of gasoline
was exhausted.
The second car was recovered on
Mondav by Oklahoma City officers.
According to information, recovery
of this car, which belonged to Dave
M. Ziemer, of Kansas, followed an
exchange of shots with Oklahoma
City officers. The license tag had
been changed, but the car was iden-
tified as the one stolen at Yale. An
overcoat that belonged to Ziemer
was being worn bv one of the occu-
pants of the car at the time it wa«
recovered.
Charges of car theft will be filed
in Payne county against Bert Dit-
more. Choctaw, and Harold McKeller,
Oklahoma City, who were arrested
by Oklahoma City officers Tuesday
in possession of an automibile stolen
at Yale. The men were returned to
the county Wednesdday.
RADIO ADDRESS
At the invitation of John W. Stu-
debaker, United States commissioner
of education; Will Rogers, Okla-
homa’s democratic congressman-at-
large, will speak over a nationwide
hookup of radio stations on a pro-
gram sponsored by th* United States
bureau of education. Congressman
Rogers may be heard by tuning in on
station KVOO, Tulsa, or WFAA,
Dallas, Tex., at 7 o’clock (Oklahoma
time), January 2. The radio program
will be given on the eve of the as-
sembly of the Seventy-fourth con-
gress, and will relate to educational
matters, in connection with the Sev-
enty-fourth congress.
Lee Hall, deputy county treasurer,
took time off Christmas day to visit
his granddaughter in Oklahoma City
and help her celebrate her first
Christmas. In another week the
young lady will be the granddaugh-
ter of the first democratic county
clerk Payne county has had in
good many years.
Robbery of the local Safeway store
last July 21, which appeared to have
been a “clean" job, done by two ex-
perienced persons, closed Thursday,
with heavy sentences given the par-
ticipants by District Judge Freeman
E. Miller.
W. A. Smith and L. W. Smith,
brothers, will spend 25 years and
seven years, respectively, in the state
penitentiary at McAlester for their
crime. W. A. admitted his guilt and
attempted to assume all the blame
by pleading guilty to the armed rob-
bery charge.
L. W., who was employed as an
emergency butcher in the store was
given the lesser sentence as an ac-
complice. A jury deliberated less
than an hour on his case.
The robbery occurred after clos-
ingtime, following a busy Saturday’s
business. An armed robber entered
employes were checking receipts of
the day’s business. Donning a Safe-
way apron and holding his gun be-
low the counter, where it could not
be seen from the street, the robber
would have been taken as an em-
ploye by an officer who passed the
front windows during the robbery.
A majority of the employes were
locked in the meat refrigerator dur-
ing the robbery.
State aid for two county schools
has been received by the county
treasurer recently, these apportion-
ments being necessary to maintain
the schools in planned schedules.
Last week a check for $1,727 was
sent to the county treasurer for the
Glencoe school.
Monday morning the county super-
intendent’s office was informed that
an apportionment of $501 was being
made for the Ripley school. Ripley is
known as a five-month school, since
state aid payments for five months
of partial maintenance must be made
to maintain the schedule.
gional director of the United States
another expensive feature of permit-
ting water to rush off land after
badly gullied. Topsoil is gone from
48,000 acres, and tremendous gullies,
deep enough to bury men, teams and
houses, have caused this land to be
abandoned.
There are pastures in Payne
county that are nothing more than
exercising grounds, so great has been
the topsoil loss. There are fields that
get smaller each vear. as farmers
"plow around” gullies that eat far-
ther and farther into the fields that
must produce them a living.
But Payne is not the only county
where soil losses have decreased the
productivity of the farms and re-
duced the market value of farms to
the extent that these farms make a
poor source of taxation. Most of the
topsoil has been washed awav from
1,500,000 acres of Oklahoma land, a
survey shows. More than 6,000,000
acres of land in the state is gullied,
while 7,000,000 more acres are suf-
fering serious soil losses.
The survey showed 440,000,000

soil erosion service, estimates that
it would require a fleet of 4,200 mo-
tor trucks of 4,000-pound capacity,
loading and unloading every 10 min-
utes, working day and night through-
out the entire year, to haul away this
tremendous volume of soil that wash-
ing rains take from the fields every
year. Enough soil fertility is lost
each year by erosion to produce big
crops for 20 years.
The decrease in the productive
power of our soils caused bv erosion
is increasing the cost of producing
our crops in Oklahoma the amount
of $40,000,000 annually, Winters es-
timates.
Complete loss is not included in
the quoted figures, however. Rush of
water off cultivated land that takes
the topsoil with it is needed in the
subsoil to produce crops. This loss
of water results in an inestimable
loss in drouthbitten crops and under-
nourished plants.
In addition, the silt that is carried
off piles up in streams, ponds and
rivers, damaging their water ca-
pacity value, it is pointed out Still
Program to interest Psyne county
farmers in replacing cattle sold the
government during the past fall with
quality animals will be launched at
the first annual meeting of the agri-
cultural board, which will convene
Friday, January 4, in Stillwater.
Morning session will be a joint af-
fair, attended by both the advisory
board and the farm woman’s advi-
sory board, and will be held in the
community building at the county
fairgrounds.
In the afternoon, according to
present plans, the men will meet in
some convenient place on the Okla-
homa A. and M. college campus and
will hear speakers from the animal
husbandry department, who will dis-
cuss the need of quality cattle. Much
interest is being displayed in replac-
ing cattle sold the government with
good stock on the part of county
farmers, according to Word Crom-
well, county agricultural agent.
An extensive campaign likelv will
be employed to interest livestock
men in the value of good milk pro-
ducers. A ready response is expected
from the campaign.
In the afternoon speakers will dis-
cuss the value of farm economics.
Likely Harold Miles, extension agri-
cultural
speaker
donna
nomist
also will speak on the need of
planned economies for women.
George Oltman is president of the
agricultural advisory board. Ap-
proximately 200 men and women are
expected to attend the meeting. An
inexpensive lunch will be served
noon. Every interested person is
vited to attend the meetings.
A bank bandit trail that was fol-
lowed for seven days and nights by
Sheriff M. J. Bradley started with a
seemingly harmless statement made
to a Ponca City barber and ended
with confession of two of the three
sought in connection with the Yale
bank robbery. Such was the informa-
tion disclosed by Bradley after his
part of the case closed last Thurs-
day.
Not a workable clue was in posses-
sion of the officers for many weeks
after the robbery. None of the pic-
tures shown Will Lauderdale, cash-
ier of the bank, could be identified
as either of the two men held him
and his wife prisoners for several
hours, then stood over them with
guns while Lauderdale opened the
bank auxiliary safe.
The trail started when an un-
known person made a seemingly
harmless statement to Ralph Kay-
ser, Ponca City barber. Kayser wrote
a letter to a county man he knew,
telling of the statement. The letter
was relayed to Bradley and the hunt
started.
After seven days and nights of
walking the streets of Ponca City,
interviewing suspects and shadow-
ing suspicious persons, Richard Mar-
i low and Henry Harrison were cap-
tured. Before a federal commissioner
in Oklahoma City the two admitted
their crime.
After their arrest it was learned
that neither of the men was cata-
logued on state or national criminal
records. Fingerprints were not
available, nor were photographs in
the hands of officers, A check
showed that one of the men, Harri-
son, had been arrested in Kansas for
vagrancy and for riding a freight-
train. Otherwise no past record could
be found.
During the search, Richard Holly-
keter was arrested by Bradley. When
arrested, Bradley thought he might
be implicated in the Yale robbery,
but later check showed him to be
wanted on other charges. Hollyketer
was operating an insurance office in
Ponca City when arrested, Bradley-
said.
With Marlow and Harrison in cus-
tody, Bradley picked up the trail of
the man who drove the automobile
for the bandits. Knowing that his
parents lived in Pawnee county, the
Payne officer spent some time check-
ing over taxrolls of Pawnee county
and found the rural residence of the
parents of Buck Venable, who was
known to have driven the car the
bandits used.
By chance, Venable was at the pa-
rental home when Bradley arrived,
and was arrested. He is expected to
be charged with being an accomplice
in the robbery, although he was not
actually a participant. He is ->aid to
have been paid $45 for driving the
bandit car, and knew the mission of
the men who hired him.
A happy and prosperous New Year
for those landowners in the county
conservation area may not be com-
pletely possible, but those persons
will be one vear nearer the realiza-
tion of this wish. Prosperity through
agricultural effort on land that has
been stripped of lifegiving soil quali-
ties is an empty dream.
Residents of Stillwater and vi-
cinity have seen much activity on
soib conservation. Business men have
noticed the improvement in sales be-
cause of the monthly payroll of the
erosion service that approximates
that of the Oklahoma A. and M. col-
lege. It is the men who till this soil
that is being reclaimed by terraces,
baffles, stripcropping and other ap-
proved methods of soil conservation
who sense the greatest value of the
local project.
Although Payne county is a young
municipality, and been in cultivation
only 46 years, there are 77,000 acres
of once productive land that are
tons of soil are washed from cultiva-
ted fields and pastures annually in
Oklahoma. Dr. N. E. Winters, re-

PAIR IS HELD
Booked on investigation for grand
larceny. Flora Annabelle Banner, 19-
vear-old Wewoka beauty operator,
and Dick Lawson, are being held in
the Payne county jail. The two are
alleged to have been wearing cloth-
ing at the time of their arrest which
has been identified as stolen in the
vicinity of Yale. They were arrested
by George Harlson, deputy.
heavy rains is the flooding of the
area in the vicinity of the large riv-
ers. Periodically entire counties are
inundated because this water is al-
lowed to gain momentum as it rushes
to the rivers from all directions until
these rivers are unable to hold the
flow and flood losses result. Grow-
ing crops are destroyed, even lives
and property are lost in this un-
checked rush of water to the seas.
Payne county is beginning to see
tangible results of water impound-
ing devices. Progress already made
on erosion control work shows the
great return from the protective
measures. Widening of the erosion
program will permit greater heritage
of coming generations in productive
soil that will sustain civilization.
A future article will detail the
methods Winters suggests are open
to county farmers who deeire to pro-
tect their fertile topsoil L«m the
ravages of rushing waters. Many of
his suggestions are applicable to any
farm with practically no expense.
Some methods require some invest-
ment in time and energy.
Countv farmers who are depressed
by debts to the extent that interest
and principal payments are becominr
too burdensome, are requested to at*
tend a meeting in the courthouse,
Wednesday, January 2, beginning at
10 a. m. At this meeting members at
the farm debt adjustment committea
will assist debtridden landowners in
refinancing their loans under ona
large loan at a cheap interest rata.
E. D. KI ingel, supervisor of farm
debt adjustment work, will attend
the meeting. In commenting on the
debt condition, Klingel said: "Dur-
ing the past four years many farmers
who were heavily in debt became dis-
couraged and are about ready to quit
trying to carry on. However, many
of them have been refinanced
through the Federal Land bank.
Has Aided Farmers
“Those who have availed them-
selves of this service are, in most
instances, in better financial condi-
tion than they have been in many
years, since they have a low rate of
interest and are financed in such a
way that they will not be required to
renew their loan every five years at
a high rate and a heavy commission
payment.
“At the present time this is the
best loan a farmowner can get. For
that reason I do not hesitate to ad-
vise every farmer who has a mort-
gage on his farm to get himself re-
financed through the Federal Land
bank. If land values come back, tho
farmer who loses possession of his
farm now will be unable to buy one
then, and will, in all probability, bo-
come a tenant farmer the rest of his
life.
"My advice to every farm owner is
to cling to the possession of hit
farm.”
Service Is Free
Purpose of the debt adjustment
committee is to aid farmers in group-
ing all debts and applying for a sin-
gle loan to cover the entire indebt-
edness. In instances where all debts
are more than the amount that can
be loaned on a farm, the adjustment
committee attempts to scale down
these debts, taking a fraction off
each until the entire amount can be
included in one loan, secured by a
first mortgage on a farm.
These loans draw 4 Mi and 5 per
cent interest. An excellent feature of
these loans is that principal payment
does not begin until 1938, unless the
landowner desires to start principal
payments earlier. This delay in
principal payments is planned to
give farmers time to recover from
the past 10 years of low prices and
to give planned administrative pro-
grams time to put agriculture on a
paying basis.
Simcoe and Hoel to Take Over Judi- ,
rial Positions Week After Other
Officers Are Inaugurated; Davis ’
and Doty Inaugurate January 8.
Although new terms will be started j
by a number of county officers early
in January, the number of new faces
in the courthouse will be few, since ‘
many officers will continue their
public service. All will stop just long
enough to take oaths of office, and
inauguration day will be little dif-
ferent from anv other workday.
Only three new officers will face
new duties after inauguration day in
January. One new face will annear
in the courthouse. Other individuals
will merely move to other offices.
Simcoe Is New
Ralph B. Simcoe, although a fa-
miliar figure at the courthouse, will
be the only new employe in the
courthouse. Simcoe has been a mem-
ber of the law firm of Wilcox &
Swank for years. He was elected
county judge November 6, winning
by a wide margin from L. H. Wood-
yard, the republican candidate.
Lee Hall will become another new’
officeholder on January 7, assuming
the duties of county clerk. Hall has |
been in the courthouse since 1930;
however, serving as deputy county
treasurer. He will continue on the
same floor, just across the hall from
his present location.
When Hall moves in, V. A. Doty,
present county clerk, moves to the
statehouse. Doty will end his county
duties on January 7. and will become
county representative the following
day.
Hoel Changes Office
Another county officer who will
change offices merely by moving to
a new location on the same floor is
Henry W. Hoel. Hoel will end his
county judge duties January 14,
evacuating in favor of Simcoe. He
will become district judge on that
date, filling the place now held by
District Judge Freeman E. Miller.
For Guy L. Horton, county attor-
ney, inauguration day will mean very
little, other than raising his right
hand and repeating the oath, which
will require less than two minutes.
Inauguration day will be little dif-
ferent from any other workday.
Others Take Office
M. J. “Jim” Bradley will swear
(or affirm) to uphold and defend the
constitution of the United States and
the laws of the State of Oklahoma on
January 7, then go back to work.
Earl C. Grindstaff, court clerk, will
face a similar task. John Blanken-
ship, county assessor, will stop tak-
ing pronerty renditions to do the
same job.
Miss Norma N. Johnson, county
superintendent, will wait six months
before starting her second term, as
will Harold Straughn, county treasu-
rer-elect. All three county commis-
sioners will not start new terms un-
til July.
Salaries Change
First day after inauguration will
mean less wages for all officers re-
elected to succeed themselves. Brad-
ley and Horton will find their
monthly stipends cut more than $20.
Grindstaff will receive a wagecut of
almost $20 a month. Hoel will see hi-
paychecks almost doubled as he
starts working for the state. Hall, of
course, will find a county officer job
pays far better than a deputy posi-
tion.
One new man who never held pub-
lic office will get a new experience
serving the public, starting January
8. He is George H. Davis, newspaper
man, who made a successful bid for
the county representative job. He
and Doty will be the voice of Payne
county’s 36,000 when the legislature
meets on January 8.
Plea of guilty to a charge of con-
tempt of court was entered Thursday
morning by Mrs. Margaret Ninemire,
Cushing, when she was arraigned in
county court before Judge Henry W.
Hoel. The Cushing woman is allege*
to have held conversation with a
member of the jury that tried her on
a liquor charge.
According to the juryman, who
complained to officers that the
woman had talked with him durinc
the trial she is stated to have told
him, “Not to believe all those lies
they are telling about me.”
Mrs. Ninemire was sentenced to
serve 30 days in the Payne county
jail and pay costs of the action.
Notice that the liquor case verdict
would be appealed was served after
the trial, in which she and her hus-
band were found guilty by a jury.
“If it hadn’t been for his wife,
Sourbrash would have squandered his
entire fortune.”
"What did she do’”
“She beat him to it.”
Detail work on agricultural adjust-
ment administration programs for
1935 are expected to get under way
early in January, according to Word
Cromwell, county agricultural agent.
The corn-hog signup campaign likely
will be the first to be stressed dur-
ing the new year.
Following the start on corn-hog
signup work, effort will be made to
interest persons in signing cotton
reduction contracts who do not have
contracts at the present time. It is
understood that the new cotton con-. ----------- -- , vi
tracts will be of one-year duration, 1 the store by way of a rear doorwhile
to permit all contracts to expire at
the same time. Contracts signed last
year continue in effect through the
1935 harvest season.
Many new signers are expected for
the 1935 crop, since reduction is
made compulsory under the Bank-
read act. Signing to reduce acreage
merely permits the signers to receive
government rental on the acres they
take out of production.
Even peanut growers will have an
adjustment program this year, it is
intimated. Information haas been re-
ceived by Cromwell to the effect that
83 county farmers are eligible to re-
ceive benefits from peanut contracts.
Approximately 2,000 acres of
nuts are grown in the county
year.
