Canadian Valley
A. T. Low man butchered five
hogs last Friday.
Harry Crosson threshed his
alfalfaseed last Saturday.
Wiley Lowman has moved on
the farm vacated by Tom Nabors
recently.
J. G. Kirkhuff done consider-
able ;road>ork and bridge filling
last week.
We are informed that Milton
Spencer has moved into the John
Ewing tenant house.
There will be another wolf
and jack rabbit chase west of
•Greenfield this week.
Henry Lehman intends t o
move into the Bonderer tenant
house soon and farm the Rundle
farm next spring.
Wiley Lowman, Ralph Kirk-
huff and G. A. Lehman with Mr.
Lowman's auto made a flying
trip to Watonga Tuesday of last
week.
Fritz Heiner made a flying trip
to Watonga last Saturday taking
out his naturalizing citizens pa-
pers. Mr. Heiner is a resident
•of Canadian Valley for about 12
years now.
Bennie Duncan was at his
home near Edmond recently.
• Bennie is an old settler of this
vicinity and is still deeply in love
with Canadian Valley and his
friends. We are glad to see him
in our midst.
Ralph Kirkhuff bought himself
a new gasoline engine from the
Weber Hardware last Saturday.
He bought it in place of a wind-
mill to pump water for .his stock
and also attach a washing ma-
chine to it.
With plenty of moisture in the
ground at this time of the year,
looking very promising and the
market $1.25 per bushel at Geary
now, what will wheat be worth
in one year from now? We hope
the farmers get the market price.
The many sermons preached by
Prof. J. W. Kliewer, last week
at the First Mennonite church at
Geary, were indeed very interest-
ing. The meetings were well
attended and the sermons were
very good only loo short for the
interested listeners.
On Monday night of last week
the annual RS and AB telephone
meeting was held at the Cana-
dian Valley school house. They
have now put in two sets of of-
ficers instead of one for the two
lines which certainly makes
more satisfactory
heretofore.

Coldiin's Grocery
G. A. Lehman sold his "Rich-
lieu" black stallion to Clate Dun-
can, west of Greenfield. Mr.
Duncan came after the horse on
Thursday of last week. Mr.
Lehman still has two drafts, one
Coach stallion and two good
jacks left to put on stand this
coming spring.
Clarence Rogers was recently
in receipt of a young mule which
was crated and shipped to him
from his mother-in-law at Enid.
Clarence says he is now going to
use the crate to ship cane seed
in. His cane seed must be a
new kind from what the farmers
are used to raising here; we hope
his crate will not leak.
A great deal of plowing and
listing was done all of last week,
winter thus far has been mild for
Oklahoma to store away their
fall crops. Last year was a
profitable year for this vicinity.
1915 is opening up very promis-
ing; some are prophesing good
crops all around and others are
looking for a good flow of oil
and especially gas.
Our item? were sent in too early
last week to give us an oppor-
tunity to mention about the ar-
rival of a big young engineer at
the J. H. Base home on Tuesday.
The big boy came to stay and we
think that Mr. Base will soon
have plenty of help to go with
his threshing crew. Mrs. Base
and son are doing fine and we
wish the parents much joy and
happiness with their 12£ pound
boy.
We failed to mention the re-
opening of school Monday Jan.
4th, after an enjoyable weeks
vacation. The pupils entered up
on their 1916 duties with renew
ed effort. Daisy Smith who was
out of school for two weeks be-
cause of illness, is among the
pupils again. James Conger and
Tonnie Lowman have entered
school since 1915. All pupils in
the higher roam averaged 90 or
above the fourth month; it pays
to try. Their motto for January
is: "It isn't good luck, or some
wonderful gift of talent, genious
or learning that brings us at last
to that coveted goal, nor is by
dreaming or yearning; it's only
hard work and a noble resolve
that accomplishes glorious deeds; i
it's tending your own little gar-
den of life and preserving it free
from the weeds."
The death of Robt. Lehman
Tuesday of last week was quite
a shock to our community. He
was sick but five days and many
knew nothing of his illness.
The glad new year had scarce
begun
When the4 grim Death Angel
came
And visited the happy home
From whence he took his
claim.
The bereaved family have the
sympathy of the community.
Card of Thanks
We desire to extend our heart-
felt thanks to the people of Geary
for the sympathy and kindness
extended to us during the sick-
ness and death of our dear father
and brother. To those who sent
flowers during his sickness, we
thank you, and want you to know
that we did appreciate them so
much.
Mrs. J. J. Overmire.
Mrs. C. B. Sargent.
Mrs. M. A. Reeder.
