STATE LEGISLATURE
IN SPECIAL SESSION
t
Oklahoma City Okla April 2jt —
Watched by the entire state with an
expectant interest such as i given to
few legislative sessions the 'special
session of the eighth legislature began
its work Monday with quick and
quiet efficiency
In the promptness with which
members settled into their old seats
and took up the accustomed routine
of procedure in the shortness of time
required to adopt the organization of
the regular session and in the current
expressions of desire to return home
there was indication that the session
would be a time of accomplishment
rather than a session of political skir-
mishing Speaker Schwalie in speak-
ing to the house at the beginning of
the session said all necessary work
ought to be finished in two weeks
and governor Robertson in his mes-
sage set ten days as a aufficient time
to complete the task ahead
In marked contrast to former t ses-
sions of the upper house was that of
the senate which organized without
argument in fifteen minutes intro-
duced twenty-three bills which ac-
cording to rough estimates would ap-
propriate $12214944 and adjourned
without a dissenting vote having
been cast on any subject
Senate bill No 1 introducer! im-
mediately after the senate "convened
Monday is the departmental ap-
propriations bill of the regular session
The identical sum $6844000
provided fog the operation of execu-
tive And judicial departments ap-
pears as its total
Twenty-six bills were introduced iu
the house today and 23 in the senate
Among the house bills were the two
providing for maintenance of t state
departments and institutions for the
next two years in the form in which
they passed the house at the regular
session
Homer Eagon and Elsie Richard-
son both of Gage were granted a li-
cense to wed’ Wednesday April 20tb
by the Court Clerk
Charley Carpenter one of our good
friends of south of town arid little
daughter Charleen were pleasant
callers at this office Tuesday
A marriage license was issued by
the deputy Court Clerk to William
Cleveland of Chaney and Verna
White of Gage Wednesday April
20th

ed at our Sanctum Tuesday tq give

ments The bureau would have as

U S TO FOLLOW ALLIED
LEAD ON REPARATIONS
Washington April 20 — Events
here today indicated that the United
States in replying to Germany’s
counter-proposals on reparations
would be guided almost if not wholly
by the derisions of the allied govern-
ments as to whether the new proposit
ions could form the basis for further
negotiatons i
Secretary Hughes conferred today
with each of the allied diplomatic rep-
resentatives discussing with them
briefly the German Communication
received early in the day The for-
eign envoys immediately reported to
their governments by cable and it was
understood that'the reply to Germany
would wait the outcome of ( these ex-
changes '
The statement contained in press
dispatches from Paris that the Ger-
man offer was believed to be unac-
ceptable to France caused little if
any surprise here

ment at Leavenworth Kansas is in

Methodist Church Notes
“Whatsoever a man soweth that
shall he also reap” — Gal 6-7
Brnedict Arnold died the traitor
of his country and this may be traced
back to crooked deeds done in youth
Qeorge Washington died the “Father
of his Country” This may also be
traced back to a truthful youth who
refused to tell a lie Great evils
develop from wild oats scattered upon
the soil of evil hearts often destroying
great lives Solomon the wisest
David the" best Sampson the strong
est fell by Sowing wild oats A little
leak in character sinks the ship of
life Men and women of Arnett why
not sow now to spirit and reap life
everlasting? If you have already
begin to sow to the flesh stop your
sowing today and' attend church
services next Sunday The Methodist
church invites all who do not attend
elsewhere
Sunday School at ten a m
Breaching at eleven o’clock

There is only a short time now un-
til it will be too late to join the boys
and girls clubs I will not visit any
more schools except under in-
vitation but any boy or girl who
wish to join may write me and I will
send them an application card and
they can fill out and return to me
Considering tlie short time I had to
organize I feel proud of the bunch
of live boys and girls that Ellis Coun-
ty has for this year They will have
something to show at the fair this fall
s' r
i A bunch of Ellis County farmers
visited the purebred stock sale at La-
verne last week The best buy was
“Newton Stamp” a fine Shorthorn bull
bought by County Commissioner J
A Logan This bull not only has the
very best bloodlines but is an extraor-
dinary animal in size and conforma-
tion He paid a big price for him
but he is worth the money Mr Io-
gan also bought a snow white heifer
calf that is hard to beat anywhere
Mr Logan is justly proud of his ani-
mals and the citizens of this County
are proud to have such animals brut
in here
I tried the following experiment in
planting sweet clover that might lie of
interest to a number of farmers : I
planted a row of sweet clover without
covering merely pounding the seed in
with a stick another row was planted
one-half inch deep ' another one one
inch deep another one and half inch
deep and still another one two inches -deep
The first one did not come up
The second only a fairly good per-
centage came up the third shows the
the best results while the two inch
while slower in coming was second
best I believe that one and a half
to two inches deep will get the best
results

The old straw stacks are worth
about $200 a wagon load on the
land but where it cannot be distribut-
ed it will cost much more than that
to leave it in the field for they are
the breeding places of the straw flies
that costs the farmer many pounds of
horse and cow flesh If they cannot
be distributed they should be burned
and the sooner the better as
warm
comes
I have a partial list bf those who
planted Canred wheat I would like
to have the names of all who planted
The list I have is as follows: — Henry
Adams J W Fiegel Elmer Yarnold
P J Sims J E Fiegel L E Moyer
P Crabtree Harvy Edwards Lloyd
Laughlin W A Gaunter L H Long
J W Beagles J C McFarland D
C Johnson R L Porter Jay
Knowles W C Yandeventer A
Depue R E Miller If you planted
Kanrad wheat and your name is not
on this list I would be pleased if you
would drop me a card and let me
know stating how many acres you
have If this wheat is as good as it
is supposed to be we would like to
get a large quantity of the seed for
fall sowing
If Ellis county is to lead in pure-
bred stock we must have the best
there is We must look for the Eest
and "gogetum” Our banks are
more than willing to finance any real
good stock ‘ They will probably re-
quire the stock to be insured which
is good business proposition any wuj
The reason why the bankers a ill
finance the buying of good stork is
because they know that good stock is
a sate investment Th? banker is
always a man of good sound judg-
ment He has to be to hold his place
and it is a good plan to stay out v of
anything the banker shakes his head
at and go after the
his head t?
things he -by as
