HOW HE LOST HALF II MILUON
DOLLARS
Fruit growers in Oklahoma
lost >500,000 this year on ac-
count of permitting their
peaches to get too ripe and
for the further reason that
they made no arrangements
for marketing their fruit
through a central selling agen-
cy or association.
Half a million dollars' worth
of peaches rotted on the
ground in Oklahoma this year.
Shall we let this happen next
year ?
The fruit growers of our
state are in the mood to or-
ganize a state association.
They don't wish to pass
through another season of
over-production. With an as
sociation that is in touch with
the markets of the world there
can be no over-production,
There is a demand for Okla
homa peaches but we have
not yet perfected our market
ing methods.
In California t h e prune
growers sold their product
in a haphazard way and
made no money. They tired
of working for nothing and
formed an association. Since
that time they have prospered
amazingly; their fruit has
been graded and inspected
and by being standardized
finds ready sale in the world's
markets at profitable prices.
The onion growers of south-
ern Texas had a similar expe-
rience. Now they have
selling agency who knows
which eastern and northern
markets are bare or glutted
and can ship intelligently.
Much of the fruit-marketing
of Oklahoma was done so
loosely this year that the re-
turns about paid the freight.
Some fruit growers shipped
their fruit to irresponsible
dealers and had to be content
with the remittance received,
which was only a part of the
real value of the shipment.
A state fruit association
would protect every shipper.
He would know that he would
not get robbed as it would be
the duty of the selling agent
to .find reliable consignees.
An association state-wide in
its scope would buy material
eafiy and would instruct fruit
growers in tune so that fruit
waald not be permitted to get
too ripe before being crated,
The formation of a selling or-
ganization would prevent loss
in the future and surely the
fruit growers will take the
matter up this fall and be
ready for another season.
If they wait until spring
they may not be able to find
the right man to be manager
of the association. They can
get a competent man this fall
Since our peach crop will be
bigger next year than it was
in 1912, and since it will gain
each year until 150,000,000
will represent the annual out
put of Oklahoma peaches, why
not start the state association
at once?—Oklahoman.
TI\ere is a newspaper in
eastern Oklahoma that often
prints contributed articles of
criticism of the town and its
people, and at the conclusion
of the articles the writers us-
ually make known their iden-
tity as "reader," "subscriber'
or "spectator, " or some other
way equally as intelligent. It
looks as though the newspaper
shares the ill feeling with its
contributing friend. People
who rush into print to air their
pent up feelings should have
the moral courage to affix
their signatures to the article
in plain, United States style.
Don't go to war in a barrel.
In last week's issue of this
paper appeared an article
telling how a woman purified
picture show in Boston.
In the average Oklahoma
town the dirty picture shows
have never obtained; in fact,
the photoplay houses afford
the chief line of amusement
for the people of the south-
west. This is especially so
in this city, where the show
proprietors exchange the best
of service for good patronage.
MID HIS NAME IS MMDS
But for the heavy vote re
ceived by Claud Weaver in
the strong democratic counties
of the fifth congressional dis-
trict, the stenographer whose
name appeared first on the
ballot under the head of "for
congressman at large," would
doubtless have been nominat
ed. This man Adams, who
was in all probability not
known to a single voter in
seventy-five of the seventy-six
counties in the state, received
23,269 votes, running ahead
of such well known men as
Fred Branson, Leslie Ross
and Judge Robertson. — Salli-
saw Star-Gazette.
The case as above stated,
wherein an unknown almost
"arrived," has brought out
some lively discussion about
Oklahoma's election laws that
call for an alphapetical ar-
rangement of the candidates
names on the tickets. To
Adams it must have looked as
easy as abc.
W. R. Harper while in the
city last Saturday explained
to a representative of this pa-
per that he was busy building
a house, which made it nec-
essary for him to neglect pub-
lishing the Breeze. We miss
the little sheet very much and
hope that Bill will get back in
harness in time to help warm
up the general election in No-
vember.
It is said that the bad gangs
are glad that Heck Thomas,
the old time bad man catcher,
dead. Now if some one
will kindly kill the devil and
consign a train load of ice to
the interior, the croaking
holdup man can peacefully
wend his way to the empty
throne of his satanic majesty.
Expert safe blowers recently
robbed the Harrah, Oklaho-
ma, postoffice. They secured
sixteen pounds of pennies and
four silver dollars. The silver
was taken from a cash register
and the pennies from the post-
office safe. The total sum
secured amounts to but $28,
thus it is shown that the way

There's a lot of unnecessary

A Checotah editor wants
the weeds cut in his town, and
that badly. The other eve-
ning upon reaching home he
sought a grassy spot and
stretched out on the green.
Being a tired editor, he soon
fell asleep to dream of weed-
cutting crusades, with the
butchers, bakers and candle
stick makers playing heavy
weed swatting roles. The game
waxed warm and the water
boys rushed hither and thither
with cooling pails of Adam's
ale; dog-fennels were dying by
the millions; the editor smiled
a smile and dreamed on and
on; the story was shaping it-
self in his tired brain and next
week his paper would proclaim
under a three-deck head just
how his native city landed on
the weed grown expanse. The
sleeping man stirs uneasily,
he slowly opens his eyes and
slaps at a fly, but there is no
fly, the disturbing element is
well developed rag weed
waving forth its gladness in
the Oklahoma breezes, un-
mindful of an editor's nose.
Mrs. Editor calls the man to
supper, and rising slowly he
murmurs, "oh, the devil."

Want to hear about a real
hero and heroine? Well, let's
get close to home, says an ex-
change. How about Dad and|
Mother? What George
Washington and Abraham
Lincoln did for their country]
they have done for you, and
more, too. Mother has reared
you from the time you first
squawked. She perhaps worej
thin clothes and did without
pleasures in order that you
might grow up a strong,
healthy child. Father labored
many a long hot day in order
that you might go to school
and better your chances. Dad,
as you call him, shut out!
pleasures and good times that]
his child might be better fitted
to fight the fight of life. Dad
and Mother may be old-fash-
ioned, wrinkled, gray and may
speak a quality of English that
makes you blush, but if you
do as much to better human-
ity as they have done you willj
have a right to criticise them.
