WOULD BE PRACTICAL.
Prof Geo. Wilson, represent-
ing the A. & M College gave a
lecture at the school house audi-
torium Monday night, that we
wish might have been heard by
every farmer in northwest Okla.
Tbere may be some people who
would not welcome his lecture,
but to the practical farmer, it
would have been of untold value.
The main theme of his lecture
was to bt- practical in everything
in school, in business or oil the
farm. In school work hn would
> ut out the impractical things
that the boy or girl has no use
for or never will have, and re
place them with something that
will help them solve the every-
day problems of lite. This me-
thod where tried out has proven
a jfreat assistance in keeping
children in school until thev
have finished the high school.
The trouble with people is that
thev accept tradition and things
of the past as necessary instead
of thinking for themselves.
Education is supposed to fit our |
| boys acid girls so that they will
be better prepared to meet the
battles of life, and unless it does
that it is not the success that
was intended. Then he showed
how the farmer might greatly
increase his income and be inde.
pendent, when in many instances
he is ouly making a bare living.
The sad thing about this lec-
ture was the fact therw was but
a few people present. If it had
been a number on the lecture
course that would have cost at
least 50 cents the bouse would
have been filled, yet how much
more important a lecture of this
kind is, and with no admission
fee charged either. It is time
people were vaking up to their
responsibility. So many farmers
will not accept the ideas of these
school fellows, claiming they do
| not know any more about farm-
ing thin they do, and just keep
on in the same old rut, barely
keeping the wolf from the d'X)r.
Sunday morning about 4 o'clock
the drillers had to stop work on
accouut of the well caving in.
The depth being about 2840 feet.
The only way the well could be
put deeper wouid be by pur-
chasing about $2000 worth of
casing, which wes practically
impossible, then they had struck
salt water, which means that
there would be a very grave
doubt of anything being found
if they go on. At a meeting of
the directors, Monday it was
decided to pull the casing and
give this well up. However, t-e
casing will be cared for and it is
expected that another well will
be started within ninty days. It
is readily understood that one
well is not a sufficient test, and
if another one could be pi't down
I it would make a much better test
: Then the expenceof another well
I would be only about half what
i this well would cost, as the same
! casing and derrick could be used.

D. Forseman, E. I. Haworth, I.
J. Teagarden and O. O. Men-
denhall.
In the meantime 1 am con-
siderable concerned about what
is going to happen to this country
The fears of our people have
been worked on with greater ef-
fect than most people out here
in the west imagine. The advo-
cates of a great standing army
and a bigger navy than any other
nation are having their innings
now, and they may win. We
are told that we must depart
from the poilcy which hes been
! followed for a hundred years,
and be prepared not only for
defence but for aggressive war-
fare. We must be in position to
dectate terms to any other nation
in short we must become the
most military nation in the world.
Although no reason is given
, why any other nation should at-
! tack us we are assured that such
an attack such,an attack is cer-
tain to be made. And the adber-
ents of this belief have succeeded
in making a vast number, per-
haps the ma jority of the people
of the United States, believe that
sort of a thing.
Here, in the Midble West
sanity still seems to prevail to a
large extent, and it is the duty
of the people who have not yit
gone war mad or yielded to
groundless fears, to set their
faces like a flint against this un-
speakable folly,
Tom McNeal.
