Thc crop around Devol are
res sonablj good in fact we be
Jieve above the average The
weather ha a been unfavorable for
growth and corn has sufferret
more from excessive wind anc
cool weather than from dry
weather
Rural Telephone lines is one o
the greatest needs of Devol
Just why this matter has not re
eeived proper attention is realy
strange as no enterprise couli
afford greater convenience to so
many people These lines shoulc
he independent as the farmer
cares but little for long distance
connection as he seldom uses
and -when he does the matter
a few cents is of little concern
but regular tax of 50c or $100
a month aggregates too much for
the convenience afforded
Let some one interested along
this line get m behind the matter
and push it for what it is worth
Devol was visited by quite a
Storm Saturday evening about
0 o’clock For a few minutes it
seemed as though we were in for
a real twister but fortunately it
proved to be only a straight wind
with heavy gusts The Baptist
church sustained the greatest in
jury each end of the building be-
ing blown off the blocks nearly
breaking in two The corner of
the new bank buildinglwa blown
off but the building was not oth-
erwise injured The Glass front
o the Pool Hall was blown in and
the brick flues to the Hotel were
blown down A light rain follow
ed greatly benefiting the grow-
ing crops
Rev Davis and his lady of the
Randlett Enterprise gave our of
fice a short but very pleasant call
Wednesday morning They
were on their return home from
a weeks outing in New Mexico
They report a very pleasant
trip but 9 rather discouraging
outlook along the route traveled
This statement further verifies
the fact of conditions being more
favorable here than almost any-
where you may hear from
Farmers in the neighborhood
are not seriously Complaining for
the reason that the growing crop
is looking well While the cool
Weather has not been conducive
to a rapid growth yet everything
considered crops arc in excel-
lent condition
The criminal court of appeals
has for several weeks- been en-
gaged in hearing appeals from
county courts on liquor questions
and construing the laws along
With the Federal Interstate law
-The court has found several
features of the Billups’ bill con-
flicts with the constitution of the
United States In handing down
a recent opinion and in' speaking
Of the constitution of the United
States the opinion reads::
’’Certainly no reasonable per-
ton will expect the court no mat-
ter what our personal opinion to
fender a decission in cenflict
With the sooetitution-r to do se
tew - - -
would be civil war — treason and
ruin would follow after
"Oklahoma has been listed as
one of the five states passing a
constitution in conformity with
the enabling act as to allow its
admission without modification
of its constitution on question of
import of its basic law
"How preud all of us should be
that we are recognized as one of
the states having an organic law
welded so close to and in confor-
mity with the constitution as to
be one and the eame in meaning
"Respect for law is ever com
mendable knowledge of law is
power untrambledadd to these
obedience of the law and strict
enforcement thereof and you
make a citizen who can stand on
the firing line and valorously de-
fend and uphold his country
The enactment of laws -is but
the beginning but a proper in-
terpritation and strict enforce-
ment is a science which comes
through and of good citizenship
and strict conformity places a
community in an enviable posi-
tion of eminence and power"
After the law is fully construed
by the court and the rights of all
fully determined it will be a mat
