BILL HILL RAISES
RUCTION AT WANN
Bill Hill who resides over in the
little city of Wann seems to have a
penchant for trouble Only recently
he was arrested on complaint of his
wife who charged him with attempt-
ing to cut her to pieces and placed
under a peace bond His wife brought
suit for divorce but upon Bill’p prom-
ise to be good let the divorce pro-
ceedings rest Tuesday evening Bill
took another troublesome streak
and attempted to run Barney Dona-
van and his wife out of their own
home
It seems Donavan is renting a house
from the Hills and both Mr and
Mrs Hill wanted to collect the rent
in advance each threatening to throw
Donavan out if the rent was paid to
the other Tuesday both Hill and hjs
wife went to the house while Don-
avan was at work in the oil fields and
after chasing Mrs Donavan who is
in feeble health from the house took
possession and proceeded to make
themselves at home by using Dona-
van’s groceries to cook their dinner
Having appeased their appetite they
proceeded to stack the furniture in
the yard
Late in the evening Donavan re-
turned from work and found the Hills
in possession Donavan requested
possession of the house and it is al-
leged Bill started in to cussing
him which led to blows Hill used
a hoe as a weapon and after Dona-
van had disarmed him of this weapon
Hill attacked him with a sharp file
While the men were in a clinch Mrs
Hill grabbed the hoe and proceeded
to rap Donavan over the head with
it The men were finally separated
and the Hills arrested An informa-
tion has been issued against the pair
charging assault with a dangerous
weapon and their preliminary trial
will be before Justice Graham at
Wann

MERCHANTS FOUND THE
ALLUWE ROAD IMPASSABLE
The committee of merchants who
went out to investigate the Alluwe
road Thursday found conditions pret-
ty bad After crossing the bridge
the road was so cut up and full of
holes that the party had to drive their
machine through water which has
been standing since the last rain A
short way further on the automobile
driven by H L Campbell got stuck
in the mud and a team had to be
procured to pull them out Commis-
sioner A M Cobb who accompanied
the party said the fixing of the road
was in the hands of the township
trustees The trustees of Armstrong
township will be requested to meet
with the county commissioners who
will be in session Saturday to see if
the road cannot be repaired
The law provides that anyone may
fix the roads that are impassable and
charge the same to the township
board ‘‘The road to Alluwe will be
made passable” said Mr Cobb “If
it is not attended to by the township
board I will introduce a resolution
before the commissioners Saturday to
have it fixed In some places the
road is absolutely impassable and it
is no wonder the people of Alluwe
go to Chelsea to do their trading
when they have to travel over such
a road as the one we went over
We did not go all the way to Allu-
we but we went far enough to con-
vince us that the road needed work-
ing and put in repair before much
travel goes over it”
A good road from every town in
the county is one of the many things
that the Merchants’ Association have
in mind and it will be a big step
forward when we get the roads in a
condition so the country people can
come to town
HARVESTING OF OKLAHOMA
CROP REQUIRE 12600 HANDS
Oklahoma City May 26 — Appeal-
ing to the secretary of labor W B
Wilson at Washington for aid
through government channels in ob-
taining 12000 or 15000 harvest
hands to work in Oklahoma State
Labor Commissioner C L Daugh-
erty and his assistant W G Ash-
ton are hopeful that the labor sit-
uation in Oklahoma will be relieved
next week when the wheat harvest
becomes a reality and converts the
golden fields of waving grain into po-
tential food products for a hungry
nation
Assistant Commissioner Ashton
has just returned from a trip over
the state and announces that the
first cutting of wheat will take place
along Red river some time next week
to be followed by a harvest that will
sweep across the state to the Kansas
line and reap the greatest wheat
crop in Oklahoma’s history
When asked Monday about the per-
iod of work in sight for men who
might come to Oklahoma to engage
in harvesting Mr Daughtery said:
‘‘It is safe to predict that 12090 to
15000 men can obtain work in this
state in gathering and marketing
the wheat crop in June Also it is
safe to say that eighty per cent of
those men can obtain steady employ-
ment in Oklahoma fields for a period
of not less than four months since
the cutting of tHousands of acres of
alfalfa will follow as closely after
the wheat harvest as it is possible
for men and machinery to cut and
bale the alfalfa”
STOLE ELECTRIC FAN
The offices of Matt McCormick in
the Nowata National Bank building

Community
COPYRIGHTED FARM AND
Not long since I was making a
drive through a north Texas county
The contour of the country was roll
ing with strips of woodland alter-
nating the cultivated fields On mak-
ing a turn in the road I came upon
a recently built community school
house It was painted white with
green blinds and set in a grove of
native oaks There was an air of
abundance prosperity and progress
about the very building It seemed
to say: ‘‘I am the representative of
this community look on me and you
will know the kind of men who built
me and the manner of children who
will come to me to be taught” That
building did typify the community as
I found it afterwards The parents
of the school were honest law-abiding
Americans of more than average
thrift and intelligence They had
voted bonds and built the school
house and seated it and there was a
special tax to supplement the state
funds for the payment of the teach-
ers Two teachers had been employed
for a period of seven months and both
patrons and children were looking
forward to a happy school year
Now I believe that such schools are
the hope of the American people to-
day We need thousands of them
dotting our broad land and we need
teachers who will go into them and
teach our boys and girls the essen-
tial principles of right living Fur-
thermore we need to train up the
coming generation to stay at home
and stay in the country and1 not be

NO FIREWORKS IN
THE CITY LIMITS
As the Fourth of July draws near
the youngsters will probably be look-
ing forward to the celebrating of the

holding out constantly to them the
allurements of city life and the great
rewards to be gained in the learned
professions politics or the commer-
cial pursuits We have enough mer-
chants lawyers doctors and politi-
cians such as they are and judging
from 'the present drift the supply is
not likely to run short but we do need
more men of sense and sinew who
are willing to help solve the prob-
lems that are giving our people so
great concern today Oratory won’t
do it writing won’t do it theorizing
in any shape or form will do but lit-
tle good It is going to take hard
work backed up by common sense to
get us out of the woods
As has been preached by Farm and
Ranch for years the country school
should be the nucleus of the social
life of the community It should bo
the place where the grown people as
well as the children could go for in-
structions and it should also be the
place where all could get recreation
and amusement But betore much
can be done there must be the indi-
vidual desire to better conditions to
get out of the rut we are in at pres-
ent So coming back to where wo
started it is up to individuals scat-
tered here and there in country in
city and in town to begin the good
work in their own particular com-
munities and then to keep it in pro-
gress We do not need to go back to
the little red school house of our fa-
thers but we do need to go forward
to a better school house than any of
which our fathers have ever dreamed
