| Don't forget we are going to
get premiums for a sweepstake
contest, for boys who did not re-
ceive corn from me. We are
confident that there i* corn al-
ready being grown in this county,
which, if bred up, will be equal,
if not better, than any of the
corn we have given out.
We are going to have lots to

Building for the Future.
The work of planting tree*
along the streets is progres-jog
rapid I j under the direction of
City Forester Lee. A drive over
the towu will demoast>ate to the
most skeptical the foresight of
the City Council in joining in the
movement to beautify the town,
by buying a big lot of trees at low
figures and setting aside a portion
of the poll tax for the cultivation
of the trees during the summer
No more attractive sight can be
pictured than a street lined oa
either tide by fine shade trees
Some of the blocks where tr.es
had been planted several years
ago now make a fine shewing and
i* an earmest of what the whole
town will be itt a few years. Tte
stimulus injected into the move-
ment by the Council taking hold
will induce tho-e who have been
backward about btautifulfving
their places to take hold in the
general movement for a bett.r
and more beautiful town in which
to live. A little work and a
handful < f hermuda grass will
transform a. ™ed unkept yard
into a beautiful ^reen lawn in one
summer. Nature provides no
more charming scene than the
carpet of green, and it is as easy
for the poor to have it as the rich.
It is no more trouble to have the
do. r yard covered with grass than
wit.j weeds, it only requires plant-
ing and anyone has time for that.
Ifyouryard is not planted in
berixiu.iaorsome other yard grass,
try it this summer and see how
much tidier your place will look
and what satiefaciion your wife
and children will find in it. Help
the appearance of your town.1
You can do it without a dollars
expense and but little time. We
suggest bermuda grass because it
will grow under all circumstances.

Whether ti-Governor A. J.
Seaj* Oklahoma's second gov-
ernor, was killed in the San
Francisco disaster, has never been
determined. Late last night no
answer had beeh received either
in this city or by relatives at
Kingfisher, concerning the gov-
ernor's condition or location at
present.
J. F. Sanders of Kingfisher, a
nephew of the governor, in a
telephone message to the State
Capital last night said that he

Hobart. Okla., April 23—An-
drew J. Dunlap, aged 49 years,
died today of Bright's disease And
was ill but a few days. He was
the first mayor of Hobart. He
was the wealthiest man in the
county, being the owner of the
Hobart National and the First
National banks of Hobart; also
stock holder in twenty-seven
banks in the two territories.

Enforcing Sunday Law.
We are informed that Hobart,
on Sunday—in the future, will be
closed up as tight as a drum.
People will be compelled to
drink hydrant water and smoke
pipes. This will probably in-
crease the attendance at church a
little and a good deal at fishing
parties and base ball games. We
may all get uwd to the new re-
gime and learn to like it.-Hobart

San Francisco or General Funs-

Mr. Sanders, of Kingfisher,
may take the matter up with
Washington authoritias in order
to find his uncle.
It may be weeks before any-
thi ng definite can be learned due
to the general chaos of San Fran-
cisco.
With Governor Seay at the
time of the earthquake was
Ralph Seay, another nephew,
and former Oklahoma roan. No
word has been received from any
of the family and the fate of the'
Seay dwelling at 77 Ellis street,'
near the destroyed city hall is not
known here.
