The shower of rain which fell last
night heartened the farmer by stim-
ulating the growth of wheat ami oats.
Michigan courts have declared it i*
unlawful to search a man's hip pocket
for liquor. This is tinothcr feather in
the cap of King Alcohol.
When all the oil wells which nre
now being drilled in Kiowa count > be-
come producers, prosperity will no
longer be dependent upon the soil and
thes weather man.
Reorganization of the investigat-
ing committee by the house is to be
deplored. What the people want at
this time is speedy legislation and
prompt adjournment.
Germany will have to think fast and
act faster if she avert* trouble over
her reparations obligations to trance.
A big sum is due May 1, and so far
Germany has made no arrangements
to meet it, it is claimed.
Now that the legislature is in ses-
sion again, we should be prepared to
waive any kind of news. It may he
n peaceful assembly and encage in-
th wortr at hand without friction, and
again it may not On* ean never tell.
Representative John N. Garner,
dean of the Tessa congressional dele-
gation, favor* dividing the Lone 8tar
State into five states. It is a aafe bet
that his wishes will net be realised
in the near future. Texas would no
more submit to division than she
would to annexation to Mexico.
Rome celebrated her 2,874th birth-
day Thursday, and Friday Oklahoma
celebrated her Mad. If Oklahoma
contiaues to make progress at the
same rats for the not 2,442 years
that she has for the past 32, she will
be "some state." At least she will
outstrip that country of which Rome
is the capital.
- J— —L ^
Germany thinks that $40,000,000,-
000 in gold is all that she can possi-
bly pay in the way of indemnities.
The Allies had fixed the reparations
at $46,200,000,000. It look* ar. though
Germany were merely adopting the
tactics of the horse trailer in trying
to get a better bargain. The chances
are, however, that she will be willing
enough to accept the demand of the
Allies before another year.
Now that the Eighth Oklahoma
Legislature has been called in special
session by Governor Robertson to fin-
ish the work that fniled, owint? to ad-
journment early this month, the mem-
bers of both houses should make up
their minds that it is futile to try to
enact measures of a partisan nature,
and concentrate their efforts upon
such revenue bills as are necessary
for the maintenance of the state gov-
ernment ami public institutions for
th? ensuing1 two yerrs, nnd then ad-
journ. However, there is n«> reason
why both houses couldn't get together
on the soldier hospital bill and give
our sick ami disublod veterans the
relief to which they are entitled, and
doubtless their patriotism will cause
them to get together on the proposi-
tion.
Ten million dollars" worth of appro-
priation bills were introduced in the
upper house of the state legislature
yesterday, it is claimed, and most of
them were exactl," in thf Miinc form
for as in the regular session. The
two major appropriation bills for
maintaining state government ami in-
stitutions <luring the next two y«irs,
which were passed by 'the house at
the regular session, were in the sim
form in which they weiv approved at
that time. It remains to be seen if
each branch of the legislature holds
out as before for its particular bill
and refuses to compromise. It is to
be hoped not and that a speedy agree-
ment may be reached, to the end that
adjournment soon follow.
A comps|y in an oil town in cas-
ern Oklahoma is submitting a propo-
sition that should cause one to ":«t
ami take notice." The propositin is
to sell lots in a community In which
drilling is in progress, at $1.00 each,
or six for M.00. These lots, the adver-
tisement state*, contain 323 square
feet of land, or ^proximately eigh-
teen feet square, nearly enough to
build a cow shed on, provided it be for
a small cow. An owner of such a lot
would have to purchase or lease about
100 others in order to secure room
enough to set a drill. Doubtless there
are those who will be misled by the
statement that the lots contain 323
square feet, thinking that they nre 323
feet square. At the price of $1.00 a
In' n worthless roek pile that could
not be sold for $5.00 nn acre could in
this way be palmed off on the gullible
public for $136 an acre.

PHENOMENAL" PHIL Says:
Mr. W. C. Bolon has contracted with my firm
the Hosburgh-Cannon Sales Co., of Lincoln Ne-
braska—the Nations boldest price smashers—to
conduct this sale. They have sent me down here
as their representative executor. And, take it
from me, folks, I am a fearless "little" Price
Wrecker, myself and you'll think so too when you
attend this Bargain Carnival and see how merci-
lesly I have played havoc with this unparaleled
stock of Hardware. Mr. Bolon has wished this up-
on himself, he wanted some one to sell his stock
for him and I'LL DO IT, and in a sure, quick,
rapid-fire fashion; that is, since I have charge of
the making of prices. I have cut them to the ir-
reducible minimum even if it means that I have to
sell at LESS THAN WHOLESALE.

1.0.0. F. MEET IN
ANNUAL CONVENTION
Celebrate 102nd. Anniversary of
Founding of Order—Sn\der Chosen
as Next Meeting I'lare.
|
The 10-2tid. anniversary of the In-
dependent order of Odd Fellows of '.lie
Seventh District, which is composed
of Kiowa and Greer counties, was
celebrated in Hobart yesterday with
an all-day picnic at the fair grounds.
Practically every lodge in Kiowa coun-
ty was well represented, but. Greer
county failed to respond with a large
number.
The registration s'.iowed 265 Odd
Fellows and more than 100 Kebehahs,
although it is known many, who came
in during the afternoon, failed to reg-
ister.
At high noon the celb ration opened
at the fair grounds with a basket din-
ner, in which a large number of Odd
Fellows and liebekah. participated.
This was followed by the regular pro-
gram, which comprised addresses of
welcome by I). S. Wolfinger, and Mrs.
Edith Dodd, and responses by G. S.
Wicker and Miss Tackitt, and an ad-
dress by Grand Secretary G. W. Bruce
of Guthrie.
i A ball game had been scheduled
between the I. O. O. F. team of Greer
county and the Hobart I. O. O. F.
team, but Greer failed to show up, Mb
not to disappoint the people the Lion.'
nine was requisitioned, and Hobart
and the Lion' crossed bats for the ftrat
time and put up an excelent game,
the score standing 7 to 10 infavor of
the latter.
At five o'clock a business session
was held at the 1. O. O. F. Hall, at
which Snyder was elected aa the nest
place for holding the annual conven-.
tion. The officers choeen were: Mis.
Mattie Anderson, president; i. H.
Stratton, vice president; Hn. Me-
Elyey, secretary-treasurer—all of
Snyder.
A new committee waa appointed on
constitution and by-laws, aa follows:
W. R. McKee, Cooperton; S. G. Wick-
er, Mangum; Ben F. Hopkins, Snyder.
Mrs. G. B. Mahaffie, Hobart; lfisa
tackitt, Lone Wolf.
At a night session at the Elks' Hall,
degrees were conferred on four or
five candidates, the Roosevelt team
conferring the first dgree and a
mixed team the second.
The Re'.ekahs met at the 1. O. O. F.
Hall, where they conferred the Re-
bekah degree on a numbr of candi-
dates, the work being put on by the
Snyder and Lone Wolf staffs.
This work was followed by a lunch-
eon at 11 o'clock at the I. O. O. F.
Hall.
During the evening an excellent
talk waa made by A. S. Livesay, of
Anadarko, Deputy Grand Master.
