Dozens of counties in the eastern
part of the state are organizing Coun-
ty Farm councils to • take the place
of the organization work done last
year by the county councils of de-
fense.
By order of Carl Hinton, comman-
der in chief of the Sons of Confederate
Veterans, George W. Bruce of Mus-
kogee has been appointed commander
of the Oklahoma division for the year
ending June 1.
Petitions are being circulated
through Grady county asking the
board of county commissioners to call
an election for a bonds issue of
$250,000 for the purpose of building
a new court house and jail.
C. G. Welch of Clinton, has just pur-
chased both the banks at Arapaho,
the Custer County State and First Na-
tional. It is understood that one of
the Arapaho banks will be consoli-
dated with one of the.banks in Clin-
ton.
The Eighth annual convention of
the Young Men's League of Demo-
cratic Clubs will be held at McAles-
ter February 22. A new set of of-
ficers will be elected and a place se-
lected for the holding of the next
annual convention.
With visions of becoming as weal-
thy as the Osages, the Kiowas, Com-
manches and Apaches of southwest-
ern Oklahoma will lay claims before
the department of the interior for the
Ited River bed, now considered one
of the most valuable oil tracts in the
state.
Important messages between com-
manders of the Thirty-sixth division
in France were spoken over the tele-
phone by Oklahoma Indians, Major
George Robinson, formerly command-
er of the llltth Field Signal battalion,
says so spies could not understand
the talk.
Employment of a city manager at
a salary of $5,000 a year and the elec-
tion of a board of city commissioners
who are to receive, each, $120 a year,
is provided in a proposed amendment
to the Lawton charter which will be
submitted to vote of the people on
.March 7.
Approximately $40,000 has been
saved the farmers of Comanche coun
ty since September 5, by the purchase
of seed and farm products through
County Farm Agent J. F. Neely. One
hundred and fifty carloads of seed
and feed has been brought into the
county by the county agent, and sold
lo the farmers.

mission of ten who will go to France
next month to look after the interests
of farmers at the international peace
congress and, after the close of the
Versailles conference, proceed to Ire-
land. Holland, Denmark and possibly

1 STATEHOUSE BREVITIES j
The senate confirmed the appoint
ment by Governor Robertson of John
Montford of Alva as a member of
he state board of pharmacy.
Governor Robertson appointed Ben
Watts of Altus as state gfime and fish
warden, to succeed G. A. Smith, who
las been appointed assistant state
reasurer.
There were 7,500 deaths from In
luenza in Oklahoma in the recent
pidemic out of a total of about 100,-
>00 cases, according to an estimate
nade by the state board of health
r.sed on reports to,date.
O. H. Searcy, lawyer and former
c:ity attorney of Frederick has as-
sumed his duties as eighth assistant
ittorney general and pardon and pa-
•ole officer. He succeeds W. C. Hall,
who held thfe place during the last
wo years of the Williams adminis-
tration. Mr. Searcy was appointed
y Governor Robertson.
An initiative petition for submis-
ion of section 12-a, artcle 10 of the
•onstitution. to the people was start
ed by Campbell Russell, state corpo-
aton commissioner and chief expon-
ent of the proposal. The 12-a ques-
tion has been before the people three
times. The house of representatives
>y an overwhelming vote last week
lecided against placing a bill on the
•alendar which would have vitalized
12-a.
The state department of agriculture
vias sent 'out a warning to potato
growers to preserve the tags on theii
;acks of seed potatoes. The depart
nent is requiring any one shipping
in seed potatoes to furnish an affi
lavit that they ar|e not irrigation
rown. are suitable for seed and trw
> variety. In case of failure to pro
luce properly, the buyer will have to
have the tag to make a proper com
olaint before the state board.
That Brig.-Gen. Roy Hoffman will
resume his old place as head of Okla-
homa national guard, succeeding Brig
Harry W. Pentecost, is a rumor that
is current at the state house. General
Hoffman recently was discharged
from the United States vrmy and for
the first time in many years is with
out a military place. It is known
that general Pentecost has suggested
that he be allowed to resign with the
understanding that Hoffman be
as his successor.
The ten commandments furnish us
the world's greatest moral code.
I. The First Commandment (20:3).
"Thou shalt have no other gods be-
fore me." Means literally, "Thou
shalt have no other gods before my
face." This commandment enjoins
the obligation of single-hearted wor-
ship and service. It may be broken
by (1) living for one's self. If life's
activities center in self then one Is
an idolater. (2) Making pleasure the
goal of living. (3) Being .covetou*
(Col. 3:5). Every one who is greedy
for gold is an idolater. (4) Actually
worshipping idc^s.
II. The Second Commandment
(20:4-6).
While the first commandment is di-
rected against false gods, the second
is directed against the worship of the
true God under false forms. It.can
be broken by (1) the use of images
in worship; (2) putting sinful man in
the place of Christ; (3) putting God's
ordinances and institutions in the
place which he alone should have.
III. The Third Commandment
(20:7).
The Hebrew word "vain" translated
means lying, deceptive, unreal. "Guilt-
less" is from the word meaning clean,
unpunished. The meaning is that God
will not hold to be clean and will not
allow to go unpunished him who uses
his name in a lying, hypocritical man-
ner. This commandment may be bro-
ken by (1) profanity, (2) perjury, (3)
levity and frivolity, (4) hypocrisy,
which is professing to live for God
yet living for self.
IV. The Fourth Commandment
(20:8-11).
The command to work six days is
as binding as to rest on the seventh.
The resting one day in seven applies
to servants and horses as well as to
the man and his family. This com
mandment may be broken by (1) liv
ing in idleness, (2) working on the day
set apart for the worship of God, (3)
engaging in carnal pleasures on the
Lord's day.
V. The Fifth Commandment (20:12).
This commandment rests upon the
fact that parents stand to their chil-
dren in the place of God. It may be
violated by (1) disrespect to parents,
(2) disobedience, (3) failure to give
proper care in old age.
VI. The Sixth Commandment
(20:13).
The sanctity of human life is due
to the fact that man was created In
the likeness and image of God. This
commandment may he broken by (1)
sinful anger (Matt. 5:22), (2) hatred
(I John 3:15), (3) neglect of means to
preserve life, (4) oppression of the
weak, (5) suicide, (6) infanticide
(7) unrighteous wars.
VII. The Seventh Commandment
(20:14).
The sin which strikes at the home
is most deadly, for it undermines the
whole human fabric. It may be bro-
ken by (1) unclean imaginations,
thoughts, and affections (Matt. 15:19;
5:27, 28), (2) unchaste conversation
and wanton looks (Isa. 3:10; 2 Peter
2:14, (3) divorce, which is for the
most part legalized adultery.
VIII. The Eighth Commandment
(20:15).
This strikes at the sin of theft.
Many things are legally right but mor-
ally wrong. This commandment may
be broken by (1) taking what belongs
to another, (2) false weights aud
measures, (3) extortion, (4) usury,
(5) "graft," (6) making assignments
to escape payment of debts.
IX. The Ninth Commandment
(20:16).
The unfailing test of a man's re-
ligion is the use he makes of his
tongue (James 1:26; 3:2-S). This
commandment may be broken by (1)
open lying, (2) perjury, (3) slander.
(4) thlebearing. (5) breach of prom-
ise, (6) withholding truth, (7) flat-
tery.
X. The Tenth Commandment
(20:17;.
This commandment strikes at the
desire for things whi«:h beloug to an-
other. It applies not merely to the
open violation, but to the very pur-
pose of the heo-fc
The war Is over, peace will soon be
signed, the fighting nations have
sheathed their swords, and the duy of
reconstruction has come.
What of It 1
Hundreds of thousands of men, tak-
en from the fields of husbandry, from
the ranks of labor, from the four walls
of the counting house, and the con-
fines of the workshop, taken from them
to do their part, their large part. In
the prevention of the spoliation of the
world, and in the meantime removed
from the gear of common everyday
life, will be returned, only to find in
many cases old positions filled, the
machinery with which they were for-
merly attached dislocated.
Are they to become aimless wan-
derers, with the ultimate possibility
of augmenting an army of menacing
'wafers? If they do it it is because their
Ability to assist in laying new founda-
tions, in building up much required
structures, is underestlmted. Men
who have fought as they have fought,
who have risked and faced dangers as
they have, are not of the caliber likely
to flinch when it comes to the resto-
ration of what the enemy partially de-
stroyed, when It comes to the recon-
struction of the world the ideals of
which they had in view when they took
part in the great struggle whose Divine
purpose was to bring about this re
construction.
Inured to toil, thoughtles of fatigue,
trained In initiative and hardened by
their outdoor existence they will re-
turn better and stronger men, boys
will have matured and young men will
have developed.
They will decide of themselves lines
of action and thought, and what their
future should and will be. On the
field of battle they developed alertness
and wisdom, and they will return with
both shedding from every pore.
Action was their by-word and it will
stand them In good stead now that the
din of the brittle no longer rings in
their ears, or the zero hour signals
them to the fray, and it will continue
during their entire existence.
But If they return to find their old
avocation gone, their places filled, the
Institutions with which they were con-
nected no longer exist, new walks of
life and employment must be opened
to them. It may be that the counting
house, the factory, the workshop will
have lost their attraction. The return-
ed soldier will look elsewhere for em-
ployment; within his reach there is al-
ways the "Forward-to-the-Land" ne-
cessity. In this lies the remedy that
will not only take care of a multitude
of those who may not be able to return
to their former occupations, whose de-
sires are not to do so, whose health
prohibits them from indoor life or
whose outdoor habits from the past
one, two, three or four years have
given them such a taste and desire
for it that confinement would be un-
bearable. Farm life will thus appeal
to tLam, and the Indications are that it
will be taken advantage of by thou-
sands. It means much to them as well
as to the Continent of America that
provides the opportunity to the world
at large, and to the stricken and fam-
ished nations of Europe, who, not only
today, but for years to come, will re-
quire the sustenance that can only
largely be supplied by the United
States and Canada. By following the
pursuit of agriculture the returned
soldier will continue the cause he so
greatly advanced when fighting on the
field of battle. Both countries have
undeveloped areas yet open to settle-
ment
There is little need here to direct
attention to the wealth that has come
to the farmers of Canada within the
past few years. It Is not only In grain
growing that unqualified aud almost
unequaled success has followed hon-
est effort, but the raising of horses,
cattle, sheep and hogs has been large
source of profit. These are facts that
are well known to the many friends
and acquaintances of the thousands of
farmers from the United States who
have acquired wealth on the prairies
of Western Canada. Farms of from
one hundred and sixty to six hundred
and forty acres of the richest soil may-
be secured on reasonoble terms, and
with an excellent climate, with a school
system equal to any In the world, and
desirable social conditions, little else
could be asked.
Canadian statesmen are today busily
engaged planning for the future of the
returned soldier with a view to making
him independent of state help after the
immediate necessary assistance has
been granted, the main idea being to
show in the fullest degree the country's
appreciaiipn of the services he has
rendered.
But, now that the war is ended, and
the fact apparent that of all avocations
he most profitable and independent
s that of the farmer, there will be a
trong desire to secure farm lands for
ultlvatlon. Canada offers the oppor-
unity to those seeking, not as specula-
ion but as production. The deepest
nterest Is taken by Federal and Pro-
vincial authorities to further the wel-
fare of the farmer and secure a maxl-
num return for his efforts. I.srge _
ums of money are spent in educational
ind experimental work. Engaged In
-iXperimental and Demonstration
arms, and in the agricultural colleges,
•ire men of the highest technical knowl-
edge and practical experience, some be-
ng professors of International reputa-
tion. The results of experiments and
tests are free and available to aJL, ^Ed-
ucational opportunities for farmers, aue
the concern of the Government and
appreciation is shown by the number of
farmers who attend the free courses.
Agriculture in Canada has reached rt
high standard, notwithstanding, wjiieh
lands are low in price. i
Thus upon the United StatesJ and
Canada for many years will re^t the
great burden of feeding the ^'orld.
With free interchange of traveK diffi-
culties of crossing and recrossjng re-
moved, Canada may look for . a/speedy
resumption of the large Influx; of set-
tlers from the United States which pre-
vailed previous to the, Wai;. DfcrJafc
the war period there was a dread of
something, ho one seemed to know
what: if the American went'to Canada
he might be conscripted, put'fn prison,
or in his attempt to cross the border he
would meet with innumerable difficul-
ties, most of which, of course, was un-
true. These untruths were circulated
for a purpose by an element, which, It
was discovered, had an Interest in fo-
menting and creating trouble and dis-
trust between two peoples whose lan-
guage and alms In life should be any-
thing but of an unfriendly character.
The draft law of the United States
adopted for the carrying out of the
high purposes had in view by the Unit-,
ed States kept many from going to
Canada during the period of the war,'
The citizen army of the United States
was quickly mobilized, and contained
a large percentage of the young men
from the farms. In this way many
were prevented from going to Canada.
That is all over now. There are no
real or Imaginary restrictions; there Is
no draft law to Interfere. On the con-
trary there Is an unfathomable depth
of good feeling, and the long existing
friendship is stronger than ever. This
has been brought about by the knowl-
edge of what has been done in the re- ;,
cent great struggle, each vying with
the other in giving credit for what was
accomplished. In thought and feeling,
in language, in alms in life, in work,
tn desire to build up a new world,
there has been bred a kinship which is
as indissoluble as time itself—Adverr
tisement.
The Spread of Ideas.
A Czech soldier at Mount Vernon
was seen to fill a little box with earth
from the tomb of Washington.
"I am taking this home," he said,
"to sprinkle it on the soil of Bo-
hemia."
The incident may be symbolic of the
general spread of American ideals.
The salt of freedom in these days is
sprinkled the world over.—David Starf
Jordan In Sunset Magazine.
When a farmer puts his hand to the j
plow he soon turns back—the soil.
