Evangelist Smith spoko on "A Sin

:"The sin of unappreciativen'ess Is
a Bin that not only runts homes but
ruins everything else It touche's’’
said’ the evangelist "It ruins char

lives If we were as careful and as
ready to appreciate the good In folks
and things as wo are to find fault
homes would be bits of heaven In
stead of hell”

played across Oklahoma plains last
Sunday bringing before it a light
flurry of snow After the crystal
wblto blanket had been made per-
feet the winds became increasingly
strong taking the snow flakes from
their peaceful resting places in
wheat fields and piling them high in
the roads nearby
So it happened that by Sunday
evening the motoring public was
finding travel rather difficult After
dark a number of them thirteen to
be exact thought travel was pos-
sible but they found out differently
to heir sorrow and joy The dis-
astrous spot was located just west
of Ingersoll near the Ralph Had-
wiger home There a goodly sizecj
hank of snow was built for the ex-
press purpose of hindering or stop-
ping traffic
One by one the cars came tried

GOOD ARGUMENT
f Every Grower Could Hear
Him the Pool Would
Be Successful
If every wheat raiser In Alfalfa
county could hear John Manley
secretary-treasurer of the Wheat
Growers’ association explain the
workings of the cooperative' plan
with tho illustrations he uses to
make his subject plain there would
be few that would not Join the as-
sociation At the court house last Saturday
afternoon Mr Manley told of the
workings of the pool of the expense
of handling the wheat and of the
benefits that have accrued to the in-
terest of the pool members since the
io us'd undipirable fa ts and ik
ures that havo never been contra-
dicted to prove his assertions He
said that the pool members had re-
ceived an average of eight cent
more for their 1924 wheat than did
tho non-pool growers and that mil
ions of dollars would have been the
farmers own money had they all
pooled their wheat t
"Every community In Oklahoma
has lost from $10000 to $100 000
because eveyr bushel of wheat was
not pooled” Mr Manley said
There were 6750000 bushels
pooled and 45 000 000 not pooled
and if the pool ’saved these members
eight cents per bushel what could
they have saved had the entire 45-
000000 bushels have been pooled
Mr Manley showed by a series of
figures just where every cent of the
money went to pay the expense of
tho pool showing tho comparatively
low cost of the organization
It Mr Manley could talk to every
wheat grower in the state there
would be no doubt as to the great
success of the organization in the Dl
