Nearly every year there is one cer-
tain condition that confronts the Ok-
lahoma farmer's corn crop that makes
the owner lose more or less sleep. A
dry spell generally strikes Oklahoma
about the time ordinary field corn is
silking and if good corn is raised it
is generally due to a chance rainfall.
Some of them by experience have
grown wise in their generation and
plant what is known as ninety day
corn. It has its growth and is matur-
ed before the hot sun lias dried up the
earth's moisture. The ears are not
so large but they are more plentiful,
with just as good a quality of kernel,
and under the same favorable condi-
tions wiH- yield as much per acre as
the bigger eared varities. During the
past week, I. Curtwright, of Frisco
township and J. D. Smith, of Mustang
brought samples of the ninety day
variety to our office that would prove

Hank Monk, as will be remembered
by everyone who has read Mark
Twain's first famous book, "Rough-
ing Tt," was the driver who was in
charge of the stage that carried Mr.
Greeley into Placerville one evening
in the latter sixties. Mr. Greeley was
booked to deliver an address in that
mining village at 7 o'clock. The trip
was tedious and the great editor be-
gan to fear that he would not reach
Placerville in time to keep his en-
gagement. He leaned out of the stage
window and asked the driver, Hank
Monk, if he could not entice a little
peed from the horses.

handsome gold watch. Inside the case
