TRUE WORTH.
You don't have to be rich to be
kindly,
You needn't be rich to be true.
You needn't be rich to be honest
in all that you way and you do
If it's friendship you're seeking, go
make it!
The old world is eager for friends.
It's on hearts that are golden, not
money,
That all that's worth having de
pends.
You don't have to be rich to be
worthy.
You needn't own silver and gold
To have men rejoice in your pres-
ence,
For manhood by money's not
told;
And he who is honest and helpful,
Who lives to the truth that he
knows.
And gives hi* full measure of aer
vice
Js welcome wherever he goes.
You don't have to be rich to bo
noble,
You needn't be rich to be great.
Not always the men wflio have for-
tunes
Can weather the tempests of fate:
If you .will be true to your loved
ones,
Your God and the Flag of the
Free,
The sum of your gold doesn't mat'
ter.
You ar« all that a rich man can be.

WHY Kliori.o MEAT BE
SO II14ill IN TAHLEQUAH?
Below we give a few prices on
meat, at the prices they are selling
tor in Tusa, which is considered one
of the most expensive places in the
I'. S to live. Bents in Tulsa aro
five times what they are in Tahle-
quah, and people also have to buy
their water, so why should we pay
so much more for the necessaries of
life here where rent is cheap?
Something must be wrong?

EX-GOVERNOR UKTH VERDICT
\GAINST HOUSTON !*OST
Houston, Texas. July 24—Ex-Got.
James E. Ferguson of Texas was
awarded $10,000 damages by the
inry in the district court here in hl3
suit for $100,000 against the Hous-
ton Post for alleged libelous mat-
ter printed by the paper during the
• last gubernatorial campaign. The
suit was based on resolutions which
the paper printed as adopted by
political club at Columbus. Texas^ In
which the loyalty of -Governor Fer
guson- was attacked.
The Post contended that the reso-
lutions iwere "news," wlhether the
allegations were true or not. Five
suits are still pending against the
Chronicle, totaling $500,000, and
another $100,000 suit against the
Post.

There is no one who doubts that
the country jwent dry July lat. Onlj
in our portion of the land It came
a little ahead of lime. It Is still
dry. Oh, how dry!
Should the farmer of Eastern Ok
lahoma despair and quit because of
two or three dry years experience?
answer, no! The Irebl Eastern
Oklahoma farmer is no quitter and
rather likes the game that has in
elemen tof fight about it.
The writer recalls a prolonged
visit several years ago of twv young
men froui Kansas. These men had
disposed of valuable Chicago prop-
erty and settled on 160 acres of
Kansas land The;first year biought
them grasshoppers and drouth, and
the next year droutn and grasshop
pers. until the ypung men believed
it was "bleeding Kansas" sure
enough, and thefr surrendered aad
gave up the battle. And yet, today
this very same 1^0 afires onee ew ed
by these young ^ello(ws can not now
be bought for $160 per acre. Stick
[to tha ship and don't surrender.
There is a way out and better times
coming.

The statement so often heard, that
only In wet seasons will the uplands
of Oklahoma produce Icorn is all
fxfsfli. For over tlilrty years the
Writer has watched the crops on the
uplands of Eastern Oklahoma and
in a very large majority of years
has he found corncribs full and
overflowing. With the joining of a
few dry seasons |Wo should change
our plans with the seasons and
adopt systems of farming that will
help us to play safe so far aa foo£
and feed for man and beast la con-
cerned. It can be done. But very
much depends on the man behind
the plow.

MAX'S STORE
Across from Postoffice. Beside the 10c Store
Possibly this Is one of the most
trying years on the corn-grower In
Eastern Oklahoma, aa the drouth
struck many localities earlier than
ever before, and yet, I know of a
farmer near here whOBe corn will
yield not less than forty bushels
to the acre. It was planted early
and pushed with vigor and acientific
methods. His seed corn was care-
fully selected of an early variety,
and when the dry season came his
corn was safe. The Writer has 6G
raws two hundred yards long of
this same variety that la now fully
matured, and much of the fodder
tftlll remains green on the stock,
and this is all on upland (mountain
land.) Had we planted all our
field of this variety we would now
have had a field of well matured
corn Instead of 20 acres of blisters
and nubbins.
We also have a millet that I be-
lieve will prove of great value for
Eastern Okahoma. Three years ago
a friend in Oklahoma City sent me
a few grains of this seed and in less
than two months from the time of
planting many of the heads raeas
ured 18 inches in length and resem-
bled a small ear of corn more than
millet. Last year I saved seed
enough to plant one quarter of an
acre and this year I have three
acres. I plant It in rows from fif-
teen to eighteen inches apart. Once
or twice I run a one shovel plow-
between the rows and that Is all the
cultivation it receives. I have jnst
come in from the field where this
pilliet grdws land after nearly a
whole month tof almost no ! rtin^
when everything else is crying for
moisture, this millet now stands
nearly shoulder high, maturing Its
heads in fine phape, laughing at
drouth and the hot sunshine. I be-
llevfe that It produces more and bet
tef feed to the acre thaa the average
corn, and there is not an animal on
the farm that does not relish it
believe in Indian corn. It is a splen
did feed, but there are other feeds
equally as good that produces a
more sure and safe Crop, and with
our present uncertain conditions, it
pays us to play safe and plant such
crops that will mature and bring
food and feed for both man and
beast.
