It's spring in Oklahoma
An' old nature's lookin pert,
With the green plumes of the
corn crop,
Just£a ]>ushin' thru the dirt:
Kit'h perfume comes in gladness
From each tinted prairie flower
And the rich, red, rambling
roses,
O'er the well curb make a bower.
It's spring in Oklahoma,
You can hear the red birdcall
To his mate hid in the cluster
Of the yuccas on the noil;
The red haws are in blossom
The sand plums are in bud,
And the Oklahoma sunshine.
Pours down in a golden flood.
It's spring in Oklahoma,
An' the green alfalfa fields,
Already are a tellin,
Of six fold golden yeilds;
The sod is turning backward.
As the plow goes on an' on.
Soon our sod land will have
vanished,
And the g,)lden west be won.
It,s spring in Oklahoma,
Like no where else on earth.
From prairie land and timber,
Come strains of blissful mirth,
A million welcome voices,
Sing sonnets in your ear,
It's spring in Oklahoma.
The joy tide of the year.
It's spring in Oklahoma,
And from emerald fields of wheat
The meadow larks are chantin'
An anthem rich and sweet,
The furow's fresh aroma,
Breathes prosperity's perfume, O 0 I lj YD G "t
And you jest can't keep from '
catchin'
The Oklahoma boom.

Colville was elected chairman and
'A. T. Moores. secretary. The
j question of incorporation was
then taken up and discussed pro
and con by a number of leading
citizens. A vote of those present
resulted in 27 for incorporation

sisting:- of S. K. Booth, Charles
VVynegar and Frank M. Colville

not so brilliant. In the early in-
nings it looked as thougn the kid
nine would eat up the'grandpa's'
but the bald heads rallied in the
seventh innings and swatted the
j sphere in the spirit of twenty
; years ago. When the smoke of
j battle finally cleared apay it was
found that the "ancients" had
trotted under the wire with 20 to
1(5 and half an inning to spare.
Unconquered by defeat the tots
have challenged the daddy's to a
