Company now brands it lumber on the end with the name Long-Bell
as ahown in the abbv illustration
This trade-mark stands for over thirty years of lumber manufacturing
experience the best of timber modern mills and careful grading which
assures uniform high quality

cents higher top $1550 and bulk of
sales $1450 to $1525 Sheep re-
ceipts were liberal but the market
held steady
Today’s Receipts
Receipts today were 8000 cattle
5500 hogs and 8500 sheep compared
with 600 cattle 750 hogs and 8000
sheep a week ago and 14700 cattle

ago
Beef Cattle
More than 50000 cattle practically
all of them fat enough for ldllera ar-
rived at the principal Western mar-
kets today This supply was too
large considering the fact that ship-
ping conditions are not fully normal

sharply lower and further declines
prevailed there today Here prices
for steers and butcher grades were
35 to 50 cents lower than Friday and
60 cents to 75 cents under Thursday

40 to 50 cents higher than two weeks
ago Choice heavy steers sold up to
$1525 and yearlings up to $1400

suitable for stock and feeding pur-
poses Demand was not urgent and

sured - Some feeders today sold at
$1050 to $1150 i
Hogs
Hog prices today were quoted 15
to 25 cents higher Shippers were
not in the competition and packers

price was $1525 and bulk of sales
$1450 to $1525 In buying the supply
packers made less discrimination be-
tween heavies and medium weights
Light weights still command a prem-
ium Packers are in a position now
to handle increasing supplies and

FOR COUNTY TREASURER
PEACE RESOLUTION A SHAM
COOK BROTHERS Enid Okla
Local dealers wanted Address all Inquiries to
Cook Eros Bald Okla State DUtrJbutera
The peace resolution which the Re-
publican bosses have directed their
j party’s majority in Congress to pass
is as they well know unconstitutional
and must under his oath of office be
vetoed by the President' The Con-
stitution requires that peace treaties
shall be negotiated by the President
and ratified by the Senate by a two-
thirds majority
Because the peace of Versailles was
negotiated by a Democrat the Re-
publican majority in the Senate de-
feated its ratification Republican
j leaders know that the peace resolu-
tion they now plan to put through
Congress by “road roller” methods
is a travesty a sham by Which they
hope to hide their responsibility for
defeating a constitutional peace and
fool tbo public into believing that the
President aad till Democratic minor-
ity in Congress share tbo responsi-
bility: for keeping the country tech-
nically in a staU of war

The Monitor presents to its readers
this week in a political way the an-
nouncement of E L Rumfelt well
known in Ellis county as a 'candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
County Treasurer Mr Rumfelt is
a native of Missouri and was born
in that state in 1888 and is 32 years
of age— a young man practically in
the prime of life He came with his
parents to Oklahoma in 1906 and lo-
cated on a farm near Arnett but has
lived in the vicinity of Shattuck the
past two years Mr Rumfelt has
always been a Democrat and active
in the councils of his party He was
educated in the schools of this country
and at Port Arthur Texas where ho
completed a business course and ' is
thoroughly capable and competent to
handle the duties of the office to which
he aspires Ha has had six years ex
perience in offiee and clerical in var-
ious capacities and is a man of good
moral standing 'nd character The
Democratic party will make no mis-
take if he la chosen as their candidate
and if elected he will no doubt fill
the office ' to the satisfaction of the
public Being practically a ' home
raised boy he has the confidence of
his friends regardless of political af-
filiations and Is held in high esteem
as a man of honor and integrity

-President Vernal L Z&hn Fargo
had been handed out promiscuously 'Vice-pres S A Hall Gage Sec-
by hired agents all through the day
But the many chairs that remained
empty on the rostrum gave mute ev-
idence that Tulsa’s democracy had
renounced its false god One could
not help drawing the deadly parallel
of the once mighty Kaiser — now fall-
en and almost forgotten except for
his evil deeds — so completely did the
hosts of democracy shun the one time
distinguished Senator
Republicans were the masters of
ceremonies Republicans predominat-
ed in the audience A hand-picked
squad lead futile attempts at ap-
plause The curious of the all politi-
cal parties and creed were there Ex-
cept for those and the republicans
the Senator might not have had a
corporal’s guard
In attempting to conceal his owfrfcfther i disposing of
opposition to increased pay for sol-
diers and ram down the throats of
ex-service men a canard to the effect
that his opponent Scott Ferris did
not vote to double soldiers’ pay the
Senator was cut short by some en-
raged doughboys who indignantly
shouted: “Well we will never vote
for you!” Apparently desiring to
avoid further discussion of the sub-
ject the speaker hurried on to other
misrepresentations of his own and his
opponent’s record
He declared that the politicians
were seeking his defeat He admitted
that practically every democratic
editor in the state is opposed to his
candidacy By inference he sought
to convey the idea that the demo-
cratic press was controlled by poli-
ticians Whether in protest disgust or for
other reasons fully a third of those
present left the hall while the speak-
ing was in progress Toward the
close of the discourse the exit from
both platform and audience became
general Had not an aide on the ros
trurii stepped forward urging the Sen
ator to bring his speech to a hasty
conclusion he might have been left
facing only his hand picked squad
and a-feWTentainiiig republicans '

The next meeting will be held in
Arnett May 3rd at which time every
body interested in purebred live stock
is invited to attend —
Some reasons why the small breed
er should join tbis association In
the first place you become a booster
for' your particular breed of stock
by getting together occasionally we
become better acquainted with each
other we soon know who breeds this
kind and that kind of stock and very
often exchanges of good breeding
animals can be made which would
have to be put on the market we can
have shows and sales and assist each
our surplus
males and females at a much less
cost than if we undertook it singurlar
ly by combing our efforts we can
soon eliminate the scrub aire which
is sure to come There are many
other reasons why the small breeder
should identify himself with this or-
ganization and if you will come to
Arnett May 3rd at 2 o’clock pm we
will give you more reasons why yon
should join

The oil fever throughout the north
Panhandle counties and Ellis county
is spreading rapidly and the contagion
for making development and putting
down test wells have become almost
an epidemic A dozen new locations
have been made for “holes in the
ground” in both Lipscomb and Ellis
counties within the past week' A
determined effort is to be made by
the people of this section to get oil
if it can- be found The successful
progress of the well at Higgins is
giving such impetus to the oil game
that everybody is 'willing to play it
little bit The Monitor has it on
good authority that leases in the vi-
cinity of the Higgins well are ad-
vancing in price and selling well The
Sibbits ranch south of Higgins we
learn is the next place for the lo-
cation of a well With a new well
north on that structure and one south
Higgins people and those on -the Ok-
lahoma side near these locations will
be “sitting” mighty nice for develop-
ment The entire country is more
interested than it has ever been and
the companies who are doing the
work are financially able to go to the
finish The work at Higgins is sus-
pended for a few days owing to a
break down but it is expected that
the drilling will'be going again within
a few days and the Monitor expects
to have something to tell its readers
each week until the completion of the
well
GORE AGAIN IN SYMPATHY
WITH DESIRES OF MILI-
TARISTIC GERMANY
Senator Gore ' announced at Tulsa
last week that he favored a separate
peace with Germany The “Man of
Many Promises” is running true to
his war-period form notwithstanding
the bitter criticism of his bad war
record by the loyal citizens of Ok-
lahoma It will be recalled that the
German press lauded his acts during
the war and his latest stand for
separate peace with the enemy with-
out doubt will be applauded by the
militaristic class of Germany for we
read the following dispatch from Ber-
lin In tha New-York World: :
“The passage by the House of rep-
resentatives of the resolution ending
the state of war with Germany makes
a hit with Germany’s reactionaries
with militarists monarchists Pan-
Germans and Nationalists generally
“They expect the United States to
follow suit and see in a prospective
separate German-American j(aace
new opening for Germany to play
active world politics This body of
Germans now speculates hopefully on
the break-up of the Allied and Assoc-
iated governments combination anJ
particularly on progressive opposition
between America and Great Britain
The Pan-German Deutche Zeitung
says — “Under the pressure of Amer-
ican financial circles and under the
new energetic participation of Ger-man-Americans
the United States
Senate too must put an end to a state
of war”
There perhaps we have the real
reason for Senator Gore’ advocacy of
separate peace with Germany vis
“Under the Energetic Participation
of German-Americans” Daring the
war the Senator waa quick to respond
to I W W and Pro-German desires
There is no reason to believe he has
lost this trait ’
It has been consistently maintained
and the thinking American has real-
ized that Germany has been conduct-
ed insidious propaganda against the
League of Nations in an effort to
bring about a split between the Unit-
ed States and her allies in the war
in order that Germany might secure
a separate peace with us
Senator Gore persistently played
the pro-German’s game during the
war He seems to have no hesitancy
about doing so now
