THE GEABY BOOSTER, APKIL 11, 1913
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
Canadian Valley Items
*******************
The Critchfield sale was well
attended.
John Ewing is expected home
this week from Hot Springs.
Henry Funck was sick several
days last week with lagrippe.
Eph Keely, northeast of here
called at G. A. Lehman's one
day last week.
John Urton, of Geary, was
out to repair the cistern on his
farm last Saturday.
L. T. McBride, living south-
east of Geary, called on G. A.
Lehman one day last week.
We are informed that Brack
McKenney had the misfortune
to lose several calves recently.
Gladys, the little daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Hairy Coyle, was
on the sick list several days last
week.
E. J. Lehman, of Geary, met
with his young singing class last
Sunday afternoon at the home
of G. A. Lehman.
Last Friday and Saturday were
two busy days for some of the
farmers who were hauling cane
seed to Geary. D. T. Schmitt,
Curley Neeley, C. L. Cooper and
others sold their cane seed.
The "R" telephone line gave
us poor service several days last
week on account of some ground-
ed wires. Messrs. Hanks and
Duncan repaired the trouble and
we again have good service.
Of late BingNeely was so situ-
ated that he was unable to carry
his entire family in the single
buggy, so last week he went to
Geary and bought a new carri-
age of the W eber Hardware Co.
Last Friday night was the last
literary at the Canadian Valley
school house with a good pro-
gram and a large audience. A
few more weeks of school and
the school days of the winter
term of of 1912-1913 will be for-
ever past.
Mrs. J. R. Hanklatold us last
week that she had over 400 little
chicks and expected another
large hatch last Saturday. From
one hatch of 152 eggs she got
142 chicks. We think she get
ting to be quite an expert with
the incubator. Who can beat it?
The little town of Greenfield is
located about half way between
Geary and Watonga—two good
towns—which gives a good trad-
ing point in either direction and
makes it more convenient than
in former days when we had to
go to El Reno thirty miles from
here,
Lester K. Greer has returned
home from Kansas where he
went to settle up his father's es-
state. He said he held a public
sale for his mother which
brought over $3,800, all of which
was cash except about $400. We
think that was an excellent sale
and beats most of our Oklahoma
sales for cash.

form by any means. Harper
