Canadian Valley Items
The union literary at Canadian
Valley last Friday night was
well attended.
J. V. Oakley has moved onto
the Geo. Smitn farm, three miles
west of Geary.
Lester Greer intends to go to
Kansas soon to settle up the es-
tate of his father who aied a few
weeks ago.
Henry A. Lehman is carrying
an unusual broad smile these
days. He says: "My second son
just arrived last Friday morning
which makes a family of two
boys and one daughter for us. I
think farming will be easier now
and we will probably have bet
ter crops.''
Philip Kurtz rented the C. C.
Seitter farm northwest of Geary
recently. Mr. Kurtz and family
have been farming on Indian
leases most the time since coming
to Oklahoma and we are pleased
to hear of the family moving in-
to a good dwelling and we wish
them success.
Walter Urton recently sold a
span of gelding horses for $300.
Cattle are still a good price, but
a good common gelding at the
age of three years still out-sells
a cow at the same age with the
increase and they are raised with
a great deal less care.
Robert Mosley, who has been
visiting with his brothers, Chas
and Alvas here the past week,
called on Linneaus Lehman last
Friday afternoon, after which
he attended the literary and
went home with the Oakley fam-
ily. He left Saturday morning
80-acres for sale
Bottom land 3 miles north and
3 west of Geary, 3 miles south
of Greenfield; 52-a in cultiva-
tion, 35-a in alfalfa, rest in
pasture;good improvement and
plenty of water. 400 acres of
leased land if desired. 60-a
of wheat.

OUR PREACHER
Our preacher is a common man
He don't put on no airs;
Don t preach no college sermons, an'
Don't pray no college prayers.
He just talks plain an' simple like,
So folks can understand;
Like he was talkin' to a child,
An yet his preachin's grand.
It makes a man look up to God,
An' fills his soul with grace;
It makes him see in every cloud
The Father's smilin' face;
It falls with gentle, healin' touch
On hearts bowed down with woe
An makes em see as plain as print
The way they orto go.
Some folks do say he don't dress right,
(Don't seem to keer for style);
Don't ever wear no long-tailed coat,
Nor high and shiny tile;
But goes 'round dressed like other folks,
And don't pretend to be
No better than the common run
O' folks like you an' me.
The rich folks in our church don't like
His plain and common ways;
His simple style o' preachin'.
Nor the simple prayers he prays;
They say he has no polish,
That he's just an ignorant clod,
But, all the same, I'd bet my boots
HE MAKES A HIT WITH GOD.
fof the south to visit relatives*
Robert looks very natural and
his friends are always glad to
see him. Come again Robert.
The address given by Col. Fred
Groff, the auctioneer, through
the columns of The Booster last
week was a good one and was
very interesting for the Canadian
Valley farmers. Fred is well
known in this part of Oklahoma
as the coming auctioneer of this
part of the state and his worthy
and interesting address was a
pleasant surprise to the many
Booster readers in this neighbor-
hood.
Martin Funck, who has been
farming seven miles southeast
of Geary for several years, tells
us that Orlando Ringelman,
Gerald Douglass and himself in-
tend to leave for Twin Falls,
Idaho, about March 15th, where
they each expect to farm eighty
acres on the share plan. The
land belongs to Ed and Oscar
Ruth and Fred Ringelman, who
each own eighty acres.
The North and South Cedar
Telephone Company called a
special meeting on Wednesday,
Jan. 15th. The meeting was
called to order by the president,
J. R. Hankla. The object was
to divide the North Cedar line
and make two lines out of it.
There are at present twenty-one
members on the line and G. B.
Neelev. Henry Arnspiger and
David Bringham have decided to
join the company, which will
make twenty-four. This would
weaken the line too much so it
has been decided to make two
separate lines as soon as possible.
Mrs. G. A. Lehman, to her
surprise was the recipient of
a large number of birthday pres-
ents one day last week from her
many relatives and friends at
Lancaster, Pa. Mrs. Lehman
was greatly pleased on receiving
the gifts and values them very
highly. Seemingly they have for-
gotten the date as ttey came
rather early, but they are none
the less appreciated. Mrs. Leh-
man noticed the accompanying
note, which was detached from
the presents, that they were in-
tended as a birthday surprise for
her.
