At Swuit Hlver Valley, in May, 1900,
a settler took up a homestead on Sec-
tion 30, In Township 34, Hange 29
West of tho First Merldan, at that
time CO miles from a railway, tele-
graph, school or church. There Is
now a railway within two miles
my farm, und all these othor advant-
ages closo at hand. Ills story Is:
"After making my homestead entry
fee of |10 1 had $45.00 total (forty-flvo
dollars) capital. Through doing
homestead duties In slack times of
the year, 1 managed to get a start. I
am a married man of 28 years of age.
"I built my first house, or shack,
and broke up 8 acres, putting Ave
acres in crop tho first year.
"This year, 19U6, 1 hud 80 acres In
crop—05 acres in wheat, 20 acres of
which yielded 850 bushels, or 42%
bushels per acre; 15 acros of oats,
which yielded 355 bushels, and one
stack of oats In sheaf for feed.

Oklahoma Constitution la Largest of
Any State
GUTHRIE: The constitution for
the new state of Oklahoma is being
printed and will be ready for circu-
lation this week. It covers 123 pages
in book form and contains 100,000
words. It is more than twice as large
as any other state constitution of the
United States.
The longest constitution cf any ex-
isting state is that of Louisiana, which
contains 45,000 words.
Virgtuia stands second with 35,000
and Alabama third with 33,000 words.
The shortest constitution is that of
Rhode Island, with 6,000 words, and
the average length of the Btate con-
stitutions of the unlsn Is 15,500 words.
The great length of the Oklahoma
constitution Is due to the large amount
of pure legislation contained In the
document. The railroad and public
service corporation chapter, for exam-
ple, contains 7,000 words or is long-
er than the entire constitution of the
state of Rhode Island. This chapter is
almost wholly legislative, containing
all , of the statute laws of Texas gov-
erning railroads and public service
corporations, in addition to a number
of new legislative provisions.
FRANTZ WILL BE A CANDIDATE
Formally Announced Entry in Guber-
natorial Race Sunday
GUTHRIE: Governor Frank Frantz
announced himself a candidate for the
tepublican nomination for governor
Sunday morning. He has been con-
sidered a candidate for some time; but
had not announced himself owing to
the uncertainty of the attitude of the
republican party of Oklahoma towards
the constitution.
The statement of Governor Frantz
indicates that the republican party
will advise the adoption of the consti-
tution and put out a full ticket, prom-
ising to secure amendments eliminat-
ing the objectionable features if the
state Is admitted.

Churning Dogs.
A curious point In regard to the new
dogs act occupied the attention of the
Carnorvan county bench on Saturday,
says the London Daily Mail. The su
perlntendent reported that eight per
sons had applied for exemptions in re
spect of dogs which were used for
churning. Issard Davids inquired
whether It had not been decided that
to use dogs for such a purpose was
cruelty, but several of his colleagues
replied in the negative. The bench
decided that the owners of the churn-
ing dogs must take out licenses.

One of the Important Duties of Physicians and
the Well-Informed of the World
is to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur-
ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to
the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well
known to physicians and the Well-In formed generally that the California Fig Syrup
Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc-
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge' of what is best each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but
as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
ihe appo'val of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac-
ture, whith is known to the California Fig Syrup Co.. only.
This valuable remedy Tias been Tonr and favoi^fy Imown
Svrup of Figs—and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
familv laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
kno™ to physicians and J Well-informed of the world to be the best of natura^
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna-as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial effects1 a way^
note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup C .
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for ™P
Figs—or by the full name-Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna-as—Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna —is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig S\rup
Co and the same heretofore known by the name —Syrup of Figs which has given
satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists ihroughout
the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which
is fifty cents per bottle.
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed w^h the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C., that the remedy is not adulterated or
misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.

A True Story
Here follows the true story of the sufferings of Mrs. H. C
T a beautiful society lady of Olds, Iowa., who tells how^
with the aid of the Cardui Home Treatment, she was a£!c to re-
lieve herself of all her womanly troubles and ailments.
"What I say for Wine of Cardui," she writes, 1 say truth-
fully, and I could say a great deal more for it than I have. Be-
fore I had ever heard of Wine of Cardui* 1 had been a sufferer
from female troubles for eight (8) years. My doctor could only
relieve me at times. I also received a fall, causing several dis-
placements, which added greatly to my suffering.
"The doctors wanted to perform m operation, but I could
not stand the thoughts of that, and I finally began to take Vine
of Cardui. Since I began I have used a great deal of it, about
15 bottles, but now I am well, and suffer no pain or other female
discomfort. All thanks to you and to your wonderful medicine,
Cardui, woman's relief and blessing. Whenever anyone says
anything to me about female troubles, my reply is always: 'try
Wine of Cardui. It did wonders fcr me and will do the same fo*
you."* You can get Cardui at your druggist's, in bottles.
Try it. It may be just what you need for your troubles.
