10 GIVE PRIZES
FOR JEST COTTON
The department of agriculture,
through their state agents, is try-
ing to encourage the growing of
more cotton in Oklahoma. "Cotton
is considered to be more certain in
yield than any other product that
can be handled in the state, and
the profits on even a small field
run up amazingly. lA field of ten
acres will yield between $500 and
$800-, on a very conservative esti-
mate, and under very favorable cir-
cumstances the yield could be very
nearly doubled.
"Last year, the "boys' corn growing
contest proved to be such a success
and so much interest was taken 'by
the boy farmers over the entire
country, that the department this
year is going to offer prizes for the
best yield of cotton in Oklahoma.

SkAN DMOGO, Calif.—Faint from
hunger and exposure and with a
raffing fever, Editor W. D. Van Blar-
com of the San Diego Tribune, stag-
gered into Ensenada, Mexico, with
two companions and is under the
care of a physician at that place.
H. C. Eller, a reporter and Bert /Phil-
lips. the other member of the party,
are now enroute to San Diego on a
fis'hing smack.
The telegraph line was in working
order and Eller, the only one of the
three who was able to be out, wired
here a tale of suffering anr priva-
tion that pursued the party from
Sunday morning until their arrival
on foot at Ensenada.
Van Blarcom's party attempted to
penetrate the country between the
international line south of San Die-
go and Ensanada, a distance of 110
miles, in a motor car.
'Forty miles south of the line the
motor car began to work badly and
25 miles from Ensanada It was
abandoned, the men starting to
walk. They had nothing to eat from
Sunday morning until Monday ev-
ening, when a rancher gave them
some black bread and fresh honey.

ions lost their way in the darkness

Patrons of the El Reno Theatre
were badly disappointed Tuesday
at the performance of the "Blue
Mouse" by the alleged eastern com-
pany. There was positively no com-
parison between this company and
the one presenting the same show
several weks ago. If the former
really was the eastern company, the
people of the West are certainly get-
ting the best of the bargain in the-
atrical talent in this one production.
The former company was not only
a full one, but. all the characters
were "real" actors, whereas the

THE SITUATION ON
THE MEXICAN 00R0ER
SAIN ANTONIO Texas—A levvy
made upon the war department for
technical military maps of Northern
Mexico added a new eliment of af-
firmation to the report that the sol-
diers of th<? division encamped in the
department ot Texas will invade the
Southern Republic.
This is the most significant move
made since the soldiers camped at
Fort Sam Houston for "maneuvevrs"
on the border. Officers in the com-
mand of Gen. Carter, speaking un-
officially, declared that it likely
meant that intervention in Mexico is
not only contemplated by the United
States government but is an assured
fact.
The mimic attack on Galveston,
which was to have been the princi-
pal feature of the war game, has
been abandoned at least for the time
being. The only maneuvers now con-
templated consist of a march which
will take the troopers near the Rio
Grande.
It was explained that the air ma-
neuvers were contemplated to show
the efficiency of the aeroplane in ac-
tual warfare. iLieutenant Foulois
has been provided with a number of
"■bombs" which he will drop on the
camp to show how easily it could be
destroyed by a fleet of hostile air
machines. The "bombs" are manu-
factured of leather and tissue paper
and are entirely harmless.
The maneuvers were practically
gotten under way this morning with
a series of experiments in wireless
communication with a view to test-
ing the accuracy of the wireless in
sending orders.
The officers in the army gathered
about San Antonio are virtually un-
animous in the opinion that inter-
vention in Mexico was the motive for
the mobilization of troops in Texas.
Every day brings new indications of
the accuracy of this belief.

Wednesday night at Jackson hall

both ladies and gentlemen witnessed
the various preliminaries and the

off in good shape and good order
was maintained throughout the ev-

The first preliminary was a four
round bout between Young Ketchell

scheduled for four rounds, but Pap-

In the second preliminary "Cy-

both as "unfit to hold public office."
Their election, he Bald, was a dis-

elected them.
The denunciation was made in the
course of Oolonel Roosevelt's addresn

opera house and left hundreds stand-

In opening his talk the colonel de-
clared that in its failure to grant
New Mexico statehood during the last

breach of faith. Arlzbna, he brM,

of practical demonstrations, con-
ducted! at central stations. Lec-
tures af the various colleges will al-
so be given at certain times In the
year, to which all those interested
in farming will be invited.
•At present the American system
of agricultural education has been
highly developed. It includes a num-
ber of different classes of insti-
tutions which taken together pro-
vide all grades of instruction, from
graduate courses leading to the doc-
tor's degrees, to nature study
courses in the kindergartens and
primary schools. These institutions
include departments of original re-
search and graduate study in agri-
culture, agrlcalaural colleges, sec-
ondary and elementary institution.
The secondary and elementary in
structlon is of comiwiratlvely recent
deevlopment, but it is becoming an
important factor in American agri-
cultural educatlor. The graduate
and collegiate courses, on the other
hand, are well established and take
rank with the bestl agricultural
courses in the much older univer-
sities and colleges In Europe. The
institutions for Instruction and re*
search in agriculture are brought to-
gether to constitute a national sys-
tem of higher education In the sci-
ences and industries thrdugh the as-
sociation of American agricultural
colleges and experiment stations the
office of experiment station of tbe
depertment of agriculture and the
bureau of education department of
the interior.
At the head of the system of agri-
cultural education standi the Unit-
d States department of agriculture
and the agricultural experiment sta-
tions in the different states and ter-
ritories. Organized primarily with
a reference to research, both the de-
patment and the stations to a con-
siderable extent, directly promote ag-
ricultural education in the technical
sense, by giving instructions to stu-
dents.
From a recent enumeration, "by
the department of agriculture, 67
colleges were found to be organized
under the acts of congress of July 2,
1862, August 30, 1890 and March 4,
190 7, by which government aid Is
extended to colleges. In 16 states
separate institutions are maintained
for white and colored students, and
in 15 of these, courses ln agricul-
ture are maintained. The only pure-
ly agricultural college In the United
States, however, is that In Massachu-
setts.

same time keep the Merg. Miehle,
stock room, jobbers, etl^goinff.
