Oklahoma Crop Notes
Letters from 11 over the cotton
district from all classes of men in

nating places of the weevil constl

stroy the cotton growth Just as on fly
jis it is practical to do- so ' L
In many cases the farmers in the
coton district who do not grow cot
ton are hard to get interested in
clean-up campaign of his kind this
is often responsible for a fresh out
break the following spring A farm
er cannot prevent weevils coming to
hfs cotton in the spring that another
person hag winttred
Many weevils will survive the win
ter in fields where cotton stalks to
gether with grass weeds and other
refuse material offering shelter arc
allowed to remain Great numbers
sucessfully pass the winter Jn dead
grass along fences ditches and other
waste places
Eet these facts! Weevil infesta
lion in spring start from the few
weevils that pass the winer The
weevils developing late in the fall
arc the ones most likely to survive
the winter Previous to the first
killing frosts it can live for only
aliont six days without foci The
weevil can live for esverai months
without food while hibernating and
inactivt It does not become inac-
tive until the first killing frosts He
breeds only in the bolls and squares
and cast only cotton
We note that community clean-up
campaigns have started all over the
State and in some-counties the work
lias been well organized One coun-
ty has placed ’a man in charge of
this work who is deyoting his en-
tire time in organizing and getting
the work started j
Ths is probably the biggest and
hardest undertaking the farmers
have ever had to cope with and if
xve are ever successful it will only
be through close cooperation It is
to the interest of everyone living In
the cotton belt to get behind this
move The bankers ginners mer-
chants and newspapers have a botttr
chance to perfect - organ izaions of
this kind than anyone' Letters to
all of your customers is one way of
getting things started Any system
of organization is a step in the right
dirccion
If the cotton districts arc to pros-
per they must raise cotton and if
his clcan-up campaign is to be a suc-
cess it is up to everyone interested in
’coton I am sure that the commun-
ities who do put on itn extensive
campaign and then follow this by
early preparation of the seed bed us-
ing an early variety of seed and a
system of extensive cultivation dui-
ing tilt growing season that they will
notice their farmers making more
trips to the gin during picking sea-
son Let’s all get together and organ
ize!

PRIMARY TOPIC— How a Blck Man
Was Brought to Jssua
JUNIOR TQPKWmus Healing the j
Paralytic
INTERMEDIATE AND PENIOR TOPIC
— Jesus’ Power to Forgive Bln
TOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC I
JuuV Ministry W Humes Neod
Since tha topic sets forth Jesus as I
th Great Physician it will be better
for adult classes especially to take
th larger text chosen by the commit-
tee and not the several outstanding I
cases of His healing For some daises
It will be better to study tbe one case
of heeling namely tha healing of the
paralytic
I' Jaaue Healing a Demoniac (4:
81-37)
While engaged In teaching in the I
synagogue He waa Interrupted by a
man wh had an unclean spirit Jesus
rebuked tbe demon and compelled him
to come out of the man This healing
shows Jesus not only gracious but
powerful to set free the whole brood
of diabolical passions such as lust
envy anger and Jealousy which rule
men
II Jesus Heals a Woman of a Great j
Fever (w 88:39)
Peter’s mother-in-law wag prostrate
with a great fever They of Peter’s
household besought Jesus for her
Jesus rebuked the fever and It left
her so that ahe Immediately rose and
ministered unto them No earthly pby-1
slcian had ever been known to beat
In that way Divine healing is Im-
mediate and complete We should
distinguish between divine healing and
faith healing Faith healing is the re- j
suit of the action of the mind upon the
body and is measured by the degree of I
the faith while divine healing is the ao-
'tion of the power of God upon the
diseased one and is always complete
and immediate because it Is measured
by the power of the Healer God His
fame spread abroad and many sick of j
divers diseases were brought unto Him
and He healed them' all even casting
out demons and forbidding them to
testify of Him —
III Jesus Heals a Leper (5:12-16)
Leprosy was a most loathsome and I
terrlblo -disease Because of its foul-
ness one afflicted therewith was an
outcast The disease was Incurable by
man therefore the leper was regarded
as- hopeless and dead In response to
the leper’s earnest request Jesus
touched him and bade the leprosy to
depart and Immediately he was healed
and cleaned' Leprosy is a type of sin
Jesus haa power to heal and cleanse
and restore
IV Jeeus Heals a Paralytic (5:
17-26)
1 Watched by the Pharisees and
Doctors (v 1) Jesus’ fame spread
abroad and this only incited Jealousy
on the part of these men
2 The Paralytic Brought (w 18
19) This is a fine lesson in Christian
service They could not heal the man
but could bring him to Jesus who
could heal and restore They had
faith In Jesus to heal him No effort
which is required to bring a sinner to
Jesus should be regarded as too great
3 The Man’s Sins Forgiven (v 20)
Jesus looked back of the palsy to Its
cause — sin All disease and death is
the result of sin Jesus saw the
faith of those not only who brought
him but of the man himself
4 The Purpose of Miracles (w 21
22)’ The Pharisees accused Christ of
blasphemy when He declared the man’s
sins forgiven Jesus showed them
that back of the beneficent deed to the
man was the demonstration of His
deity The main purpose In the work-
ing of miracles is the authentication
of the divine mission of the one per-
forming them The working of the
miracle was to demonstrate His au-
thority to atone for sin and to grant
forgiveness While the divine power
and authority are thus shown the wis-
dom and lpve of God are Bhown In
that in all cases the supernatural work
Is for the good of the Individual A
true miracle Is never spectacular It
Is not merely a demonstration of
power but the working of power for
beneficent ends the good of some one
in need
5 Relative Talue of Physical Ills
and Moral and Spiritual Maladies
(v 23) Physical ills are less serious
than the sins which cause them In
dealing with them we should follow
the example of Christ and first deal
with the cause

Your Vote May Decide— Shall That Radical
Mob From North Dakota Combined With a
Corrupt and Deceitful Oklahoma Gang Bring
Bankruptcy Ruin and Remorse to this State?
North Dakota Was Bled White — Now
Sorry —
Towuley political revolutionist found Radical So
cialism under that name unpopular lie believed be
could sugar-coat It under the name of the Non-
Partisan League steal the label of the dominant
political party and through this scheme get control
of Government lie tried It in North Dakota lie
made it alluring The voters all unsuspecting fell
for it Before his bunch got into power North Da
kota’s State debt was only $400000 After five year
' of Towuley rule it had mounted to seventeen million
- dollars Taxes on farm lands had increased 300
i The Utopian dream hud crashed leaving wreckage
In Its wake from which that state will be years re
covering They learned the truth too late
Why Radical Mob Chose Oklahoma
For Next Raid N
v‘ Kicked out of North Dakota these Radicals looked -
about for another victim upon which to pounce They
attempted to light In Kansas but the American
Legion sent them on their way In Oklahoma they
found the situation Ideal First: a nucleus of Rad
teals Second: an established Radical newspaper
(Oklahoma Leader) Third: a governor needing
' help and seeking vindication for acts of his admin
lstratlon Fourth: a political leader sufficiently
Radical and with a satisiactory record for extrava
gance with tax-payers’ money Fifth : a state whose
' public funds represented “Big Game” And so the
well trained Radical crew of professional trouble
- 1 makers was importe4 to Oklahoma to put over
“the Job”
Radical Platform and Candidate Put
Over at Shawnee and the Democratic
Label Stolen Bodily
V'In Oklahoma unlike North Dakota the dominant
party was Democratic So this party was chosen to
accomplish their purpose They selected the name
“Farmers-Labor Reconstruction League” as suffi-
clently alluring A convention was called at Shaw-
nee It was packed with Dakota and Oklahoma
Radicals In addition to these were doubtless many
i sincere farmers and laboring men interested in any-
thing promising sorely needed Governmental im-
provement but misguided as to the real motives of
the Leaders A violent Radical platform was written
and adopted The stage was set Mayor Walton
dramatically entered with the remark: “I don’t
know what your platform Is but I’m for it anyhow”
Thus he became the Candidate of Socialist Radicals
to masquerade as a Democrat in the cunning scheme -to
“bore from within” f
Radical Candidate Victorious Due to
: Division of Support of Regular Dem
ocrats Against Him
The Democratic candidates sensed the danger
They bitterly assailed Walton and his Radical plat-
form Walton gathered the support of Radicals and
numbers of misguided Democrats Real Democrats
- opposed him supporting either Wilson or Owen The
vote of those opposing him was divided Walton re-
‘ ' ceived 119501 the other candidates 150751 AI-
t though a majority of 31250 real Democrats opposed
Walton he became in name at least the Democrat
nominee The will of the majority was flouted
i
Walton Insulted Will of 2 to 1 Major-
ity of Democrats Who Voted Down
Radical Platform at Convention
“ Delegates to a State Convention were selected by
: Democratic Caucuses throughout the state Tfyey
met for the purpose of drafting a genuine Demo-
' cratic Platform and ratifying it This platform elim-
' lnated all Radical planks of the Shawnee platform
and was a platform on which All Democrats could
stailS It was adopted by a 2 to 1 vote But Waltou
' sullenly stood against it In favor of the Shawnee
Platform without change
Robertson Hand Shown For First
Time at Convention When He Said:
“I Got What I Wanted”—
Although the Shawnee Platform denounced the
“looting of State Banks” under Robertson’s admin-
istration his gleeful shout : “I got what I wanted”
revealed or whom his influence had been quietly
working during tbe primary Neither of the other
candidates had dared to defend his administration
few days later speaking before Young Democrats
Robertson said : "After all tbe Governor has some
1 power” also "I would rather lose the whole ticket
than to lose Mayor Walton” What power will the
next Governor have in which the present Governor'
Is so vitally Interested?
Voters Learn the Truth of Walton’s
Damning Alliances and See Through
Cunning Plot of “Reds”
The Oklahoma leader Radical Socialist newspaper
said upon Walton's nomination “This gives us the
Governor the election Machinery and the Militia”
Charles Ruth Walton’s City Attorney substituting
for Walton at a Sand Spring Labor Day meeting
said: “Talk about serfdom in Russia great God
workmen you are today working under worse serf
dom thon any poor nnsrinn ever worker! under” n
altio advocated “dnigiug Judges from their benches” v
who enforced tbe United States Government injunc-
1 tion ngulnst rail sti Ike lawlessness Such revolution-
ary utterances and tha fact that such well known
Radicals as Geo Wilson" Oscar Ameringer Pat
Nagle L N Sheldon Dan Hogan Luther Langston
W K Walden (negro) and others are active In bis
support have disclosed that Walton’s allegiance Is
not to Democracy but to Radical Socialism of th
Reddest sort
300 Increase In-Cost of Mayor’s
Police Department Belies Claim of
Economy — Taxpayers Wonder —
The four years from July 1915 to July 1919 under
Mayor Overholser the cost of Oklahoma City’s police
department was $30285367 Four years under Wal-
ton from July 1919 to July 1923 the cost will
mount to the staggering total of $122762198 Dur-
ing this time the Mayor has had absolute control of
the Police Department No one else Is responsible
Allowing for all increases In cost due to growth of
city Increased salaries eta 100 increase might not
be unreasonable but an increase of over 300 is In-
excusable But In spite of this borne owners must
pay for residence section police monthly fees to se-
cure police protection What would tbe Mayor do
with a centrally controlled state bank mill ele-
vator and other toys with which politicians might
play? Campbell Russell’s inquiry as to the source
of the Mayor's Investments totaling $28000 in Build-
ing and Loan stock always made in green-backs
remains unsatisfactorily explained Taxpayers
wonder about these things
Real Democrats By the Thousands
Declare For Fields— Who Pledges
Coalition Administration
Lovers of Good Government The American Flag '
and ideals and believers in clean honest adminis-
tration of State Affairs hailed with Joy tbe Con-T
vention speech of John Fields In which he made
this pledge:
“I pledge to you if elected to give to this state
FOUR YEARS OF A COALITION ADMINISTRA-
TION It will be a different coalition from that al-
ready accomplished by the opposition — it will be a
coalition of Republicans and Democrats who believe
- In orderly and constitutional government and tbe
preservation of American Ideals against Russianiz-
ing influences To the giving of that kind of ad-
ministration if elected I pledge the people of Ok-
"' Inhoma every atom of strength and nbility that God
has given me and in my efforts I shall need tbe
daily support of aU good citizens and tbe prayers of
all tbe Christian men and women of this state
which has grown so great and which now totters on
the brink”
Constitutional Democrats and Demo-
crat Women Militant In The Fight
For Fields Against Radical Menace
The greatest test of good citizenship has been meti
by thousands of good women and ipen who though
Democrats by heritage and tradition have been
broad-minded enough to stand for the man in this
Crisis in State affairs The women are to be most
complimented for they were first to organize the
Democratic Women’s Good Government Club Prom- -Inent
in these organizations are such true Americans

WARNING:
It Will Require The Vote of Every
Good Citizen To Defeat The Radicals
And Those Whom They Have Suc-
cessfully Deceived 1
Tbe strength of the Radical Mob lies with two kinds
of people First: those of their kind and second
those who can be misled with rainbow promises or
an appeal to blind party prejudices Every voter re-
gardless of party is charged with a grave responsibil-
ity Tbe question Is are we to have a man who will
earnestly try to correct existing Governmental evils
and to bring relief to farmers and laborers and pros-
perity to all thru safe sane and intelligent methods?
Or are we to invite Russianism bankruptcy and re-
morse by voting for a reign of wild irresponsible
Socialism and corruption which throughout tbe his-
tory of the world has without exception left noth-
ing but disaster in its wake The people — ALL the
people — always pay by direct or Indirect taxation
for such mistakes s
