Not Too Late To
Plant Cotton
Another crop that is a good money
producer and should not be forgotten
by the farmers who find the season
loo late for' corn, is cotton. Several
cotton growers, last season, had
yields of 1000 pounds to the acre
which brought in eash returns of $65
an acre. The outlook is fine for a
good price for cotton, this season,
and the weather is ideal for plant-
ing and preparing the ground. If you
are interested in planting cotton, see
Mr. Ramsey of the Vinita Gin.
Senator Wheatley
. Backs State
Bar Bill
Mearure Would Permit Bar Aiwocia-
tionto Disbai Members Who
Violate Statu I er.
OKLAHOMA CITY, May 23.—
Senator Richard Wheatley of Vinita
today introduced a bill providing for
incorporating the State Bar associa-
tion and permitting the association
through local committee, to disbar
attorneys for reasons providing by
statutes.
The measure was in line with leg-
islative action requested at the last
meeting of the Oklahoma Bar asso-
ciation.
When a disbarment • harge would
Ire placed against an attorney, the
Bar association under the bill would
refer the matter to a committee in
the locality jyher1 the attorney was
charged. ng this committee's
report, the association would termir.e
whether the accused person could be
prohibited from practicing law in the
state.
A disbarred lawyer however, would
have a light to carry an appeal to
the state supreme court.
At present the matter of disbar-
ment rests in the hand- of supreme
court justices.
Under the Wheatley measure law-
yers would be come members of the
incc.rporated association.
Plant Soy Beans For
Cash and Feed Crop
Many farmers have already arrang-
ed to take some of the Manchu soy
bean seed that I; being sold, at the
Baxter Elevator, 'howe\er the beans
are not going M.Jast as anticipated
A goodly number of these soy
beans should be planted in all parts
of the county They have a two fold
value fot the farmer in that they will
bring in a ca n crop and furnish him
a feed crop.
Fanners ar* guaranteed $1.25 a bu-
shel for the Manchu bean and if the
price is higher than this on the gen-
eral market they are protected in ’he
price. The feed mill also assures the
farmer a market for the soy bean
hay. With soy beans making on a
lew estimate of 15 bushels to the
acre and the hay making at least a
ton to the aAt one can readily see
that there w<pild be a cash return of
close to $25.00 an acre in raising the
Manchu beans.
F’oybrans make a sure hay crop,
and soy bean bay certainly has no
supeiior. Several experiment stations
have rur. comparative feeding tests
with soybean and alfalfa hay, and
the majority of them report soybean
hay superior to alfalfa.
Plant soy beans for hay and a cash
crop. They are the surest crop that
can be planted now, an I will make
the be.-t feed of any crop that car
be planted, regardless of the season
or the time of year.
A STOLEN PROSPERITY ITEM
“If the season isn’t so wet that
plowing and planting will be delayed
or if the germination period isn’t so
cool that the seed will rot in the
ground, or if the cut-worms don’t
get the young plants, or the bugs
the older ones—and if we can escape
the rust, mildew or what-not and if
a cold, wet summer doesn't stunt or
drown the crop or a hot, dry one
burn it up, and if the hail misses us
and the frost doesn’t come too early
and if over-production doesn’t ruin
prices, we’ll make a little money—
maybe.”
Lightning Strikes
Home of Rollie (’lark
The home of Rollie Clark, at 1018
West Canadian, was struck by lightn-
ing about five-thirty this morning,
while the family was still asleep.
Mr. Clark heard the lightning strike,
but thought it had only hit the tele-
phone, so after closing the window
he returned to bed.
Later when he arose, he found the
chimney had been hit, a hole about
four by four feet had been knocked
in the roof, the plumbing work had
been torn up, the lights burned out,
and the telephone rendered useless.
It was fortunate that the occu-
pants were not killed by the holt,
which did so much damage.
DELEGATES NAMED
TO ROAD MEET
Chamber of Commerce Commit-
tees Will Assist In Getting
Soy Raisers
OIL MILL MAY COME
Roads and soys were the principal
subjects for discussions brought be-
fore the chamber of commerce today
at its noon luncheon. Cox and Cock-
rell spoke for the roads, Sledge, Hud-
son and Vandament brought up the
soys.
And both groups accomplished sev-
eral important steps. The roads dis-
cussions held the floor first, T. D.,
telling of the trip to Popular Bluffs,
and of the work that could be accom-
plished by sending delegates to the
road meeting at Alva and the tour
to Ratton, New Mexico, to be held
June 3rd and 4th.
Cox was of the opin-on that much
could be accomplished by aiding these
fncn of highway 64, because we could
gain more in our audience with the
Federal road board with them sup-
porting us, and he and Mr. Cockrell
were appointed representatives to the
meeting, and will attend it as repres-
entatives of Vinita and highway GO
.Missouri-Oklahoma association.
T. D. Cox was also appointed di-
rector of highway 60 association to
represert Vinita at the meetings of
the directors, at called meeting, at
Neosho soon .and to represent this
town in any other matters that may
come before the association.
Mr. Vandament then called the at-
tention of the members to the fact
that a car of soys were in Vinita for
distribution among tin farmers and
that Mr. Sledge* had a representative
here from the Freedonia Linseed Oil
works, who would speak. Sledge in-
troduced Mr. Hudson, who brought
out that the company would furnish
the seeds for the farmers and pay
them a minimum price of |1.25 per
bushel this fall, or more in case mar-
ket was higher.
Mr. Sledge asked the cooperation
of the chamber with himself and the
Farm Council, of which Mr. Vanda-
ment is president. The chamber re
sponded by suggesting that chairmen
of the various committees will ap-
point a member from each committee
to work with this organization, the
meeting to be held Monday.
The car here, at present, contains
over 600 bushels of the Manchu var-
iety, and that will plant more than
1,000 acre% which with any showing
whatever, will prodece at least 20
bushels to the acre.
It was said at the meeting that if
this county would raise from 150,000
to 200,i’00 bushels of these soys the
company would consider locating a
soy bean oil mill here, and the state-
ment was taken to mean the company
would locate here as everything else
is favorable to the proposition, the
town being located on the principal
highways and railroads of this sec-
tion.
The mill would employ about fifty
workers and would operate 11 months
out of the year, Mr. Hudson declared.
The que.-tion of a band was brought
up and this was placed in the hands
of the entertainment committee and
it is Jhought the town will start the
move for a band going within a few
weeks.
T. D. once more took the floor,
this time with a statement concern-
ing the fish pond in North park, say-
ing the fish and game commission
would send engineers here and lay
out plans for a nursery that would
care for 500,000 fish yearly, if the
council would grant permission to
make the necessary improvements,
which the local club would sponsor.
Mr. Kornegay was appointed to ap-
pear before the councilmen and ask
for thi permission.
Motion thanking Mr. Hudson for
his work was then made by Mr. Van-
Janient and voted by the chamber of
comineicc which then adjourned.

Two Charges Filed As Reasons
For Sucpension. Which is
Subject To Approval
CLAIMS EXCEEDS FUNDS
Newt Johnson, strees commissioner
of Vinita, wax suspended from office
here Wednesday by Mayor J. H. But-
ler, following his refusal to keen
strict account of expenditures of his
office, made at City council meeting
Tuesday night, when he filed claims
totaling over $115 with the city clerk,
who reoorted some $27, m the street
funds with which to pay Johnson.
Suspension of Johnson by Mayor
Butler followed receipt of a letter
from Ed Klingcl councilman, who said
he asked his suspension “for failure
to properly account for pay, claimed
by him, in that he refuses to show
where work has been, done and by
what authority. He has employed
help without authority to do so, and
has incurred indebtedness against this
city without sanction of the council
or mayor, in excess of our appropri-
ation, notwithstanding he has been
repeatedly warned not to do so."
Mayor Butler quoted section 568 of
the Statute, in suspension of Johnson
“pending your hearing before the city
counci', to determine whether you
shall be restored to duty, and I di-
rect that you shall present yourself
before the council at its next regu-
lar meeting, June 4, 1329, to defend
yourself against the charges laid
against you.
Your Respectfully,
J. H. BUTLER,
Mayor.
Notice was served on Johnson by
Chief of Police J. A. Morrison, Wed-
nesday.
The action was result of Johnson’s
refusal to fill out the claim as re-
quested by Butler, and demanded by
the statute 566, at city council meet-
ing Tuesday.
Johnson declared he would never fill
out for each task he did as it would
require too much time when he was
working as a hand for the city.
