That health ia the moetpriied
possession of any' individual or
group of ludividuala ia a fact no
longer diapated Without health
the people of thia great atate
would loae their buoyancy atep
and spirit and both of theae are
necessary to active participation
in affaire of atate aa well aa to
the earning power of her people
At do time in the history ' of
thia atate has there been felt the
need for conserving’ the health
and reaources of our people aa
there baa been existent for the
past year and the n$xt few
years may bring only increasing
reasons for our efforts along
lines of conservation '
By proven tati ye measures ‘the
State of Oklahoma has caused
great depreciation of the annual
loss from' fire by preventative
meanri the epidemics of disease
with resultant deaths have baen
materially redused and even
greater results may be ac
complished if the citizenships of
Oklahoma ia made cognizant of
the dependence of health upon
sanitation
For the reasons herein set
forth and in order to arouse our
people to a vivid sense of fire
danger and the danger of health
and tnduce them to take a more
active interest in both property
and self- preservation I herebyde
dare the week beginning the 4th
day of April 1921 and ending
‘the 9th day of April' 19215 be
known as Clean-Up Week and
I earnestly' recommend that the
pedple of our atate observe this
week by a general elean-up and
the removal of all rubbish trash
and waste - matter from their
premises - a "I j '
All public and private institu
tions betels business houses
factories school buildings
theatres and other buildings
should be carefully examined am
such changes made as will safe-
guard from fire the lives of the
occupants and help toward the
preservation of the public peace
health and safety o f all our
people ' Local authorities o
cities and towns Bhould assist in
every way possible "
Given under my hand and th
Seal of the Great State of Okla-
homa at the Capital Oklahoma
City on this 9th day of March

Why Such An Effort?
11 '"I '
Sometimes people look upon
attendance at church as a duty
which must b e performed
and yet one which requires more
or less of an effort
When we go to a show we pay
I the price to see performers re
produce scenes of everyday life
that are old to mankind It af-
fords us the change our natures
require and we are satisfied
At every church service the
minister tells us something we
id not know before He ex
cts his information from
ice that can not be question
irora a book that never grows
otd from the fountainhead of
truth and knowledge ‘ '
The pages of the Bible contain
more thrilling stories and more
astounding wonders than ' a 1
other prints of (civilization com
bined— and every word is truth
All of this is yours for the go
" ing as free as the air that you
breathe There i s n o ticket
taker at the door and no ad
mission is charged You are
welcome without a price Can
mi' k more ?
Town pieqjtkm
The primary election on Tues
day passed off quietly Q C
Clough and JL Harper had no
opponenta for Treaaurer and
Clerk respectively and are of
course the nominees J H Roff
democratic candidate and A- J
Thompson socialist candidate
respectively for Town Justice of
the Peace are the nominees of
their parties - -
The only contests were for the
hree nominations for Town
Trustees and the following
shows the vote for the different
candidates as posted by the elec-
tion of officers:
In Ward 1 F M Mingus re-
ceived 144 votes and W J Whit-
ton 70
In Ward 2 E J Bean received
160 votes and J P Dulaney 38
In Ward 3 O O Hollingsworth
received 117 yotes and W F
Moore 90
0 0 Hollingsworth -E J
Bean and F M Mingus are
therefore the nominees and after
the election on April 5th will
constitute the new Board o f
Trustees
These gentlemen will have
a rare opportunity for service
and the town will look to them
for marked improvements along
several lines 1
If they come up to the expec
tations of our forward-looking
citizens progress is ftoing to be
made in Ringling’s civic affairs
Opportunity of the Century
— f
’The new congress comes into
life feeing vone of the greatest
opportunities of modern times
Its action will be watched with
intorest by millions of people
One ofL the worst evils with
which this country is afflicted
the constant and flagrant abuse
of board of trade' privileges by
car tain piratical speculators who
are enriching themselves at the
expense of the producing and
consuming public
Boards of trade may be a mod'
ern necessity but nullifying the
law of supply and demand is not
necessary and should be pro
hibited by the iron hand of the
government ‘ t -
A combination of plutocratic
speculators can hammer down or
boost to the skies the price o:
wheat corn or any other com
modity at will They clean up
millions on their deals but these
profits are not shared in by either
the producer or the consumer
It is purely a juggling of the
markets by the individuals who
have the power to do so anc
solely for their own persbna
gain
kIf ve have no law elastic
enough to strangle these leeches
one should be enacted and rigid
ly enforced
If the law of supply and de
mandis allowed to determine the
value of stocks and commodities
there can be no valid objection
to the price they bring and they
will aft? ays command what they
are worth
Any price beyond this is rob
bery of the many for the benefit
of a few And robbery is rob
bery no matter in what guise
we find it
No congress as yet has had the
courage to meet this suireme
issue
' Will the new one 'go into his
tory as greater than its predeces
sors or will it content itsel:1
with sidestepping the golden op
portunity of the century? f J
Supply and demand!
What a wonderful treat i
would be to see it again firmly
seated in the saddle!

"TELL HIM NOW"
i
1-&K
If with pleasure you are viewing pay work a man is doing
"If yon like kinsf yos love tnZ tell him now
Don’t withhold yonr approbation till the parson makes
oration
As he lies' with snowy lilies o’er his brow
For no matter how you shout it he won’t really care
abqut it
He won’t know how many tear drops yon have shed
If yon think some praise is due him now’s the time to -slip
it to him
' For he cannot read his tombstone when he’s dead
More than fame and more than money Is the ccmment kind
and sunny -
And ths hearty warm approval of a friend "
For it gives to life a savor and it makes yons tronger
braver '
And it gives you heart and spirit to the end
If he earns your praise— bestow it if you like him let him
know it
Let the words of true encouragement be said
Do not wait till life is over and he’s underneath the clover
For hh can not read his tombstone when e’s dead”

The compilation of data of an
experiment made to determine
the relative value of corn kafir
darso barley and oats aa a fat
tener for bogs has been conf-
pie ted This experiment was
made by the Animal Husbandry
Department of the Oklahoma
Agricultural and Mechanical
College Stillwater Oklahoma
and covered a period of 60 days
:’rom November 11 1920 to Janu-
ary 11 1921 Eight hogs of
even age and weight were uspd
for the test The average weight
of the hogs at the beginning of
te experiment was 135 pounds
and at the end 245 pounds
The hogs used in the experi
ment were bought at 8 1-2 cents
per pound on foot and were sold
at the end of the 60 days at the
same price so the facts herein
stated are arrived at without any
fluctuation i n the buying and
selling pri :e of -the hogs Suf
icient feed or each different
rind to feed one pen of hogs was
nught at the market price o: ’
'10 cents per bushel for corn
ufir dario and barley oats at
55 cents
Upon the completion of the ex-
periment the greatest money
gain per bushel was that realized
from the feeding of corn Thus
corn is taken as the base or ap
100 per cent fattener and the
other feeds are compared with it
With tankage and other costs
except labor deducted the corn
marketed in the form of ' pork
brought $121 per ' bushel kafir
$109 darso 974 cents barley
86 9 cents and oats 609 cents
showing a gain of 61 cents per
bushel' on the corn 49 cents on
kafir 374 cents on darso 269
on barley and 6 cents tn oats
Thus it will be seen that ail feeds
used were satisfactory as fatten-
era except oats land even i t
brought a return of six cents
per bushel for the troubie of
feeding '
The experiment also showed
that hogs could be- made to
fatten more quickly on kafir and
darso than on corn as the total
gain in live weight per pen for
kafir was 1031' lbs darso ' 98
lbs corn 871 lbs However 'a
great amount of kafir and dars3
were required to secure this gain
while the gain per bushel was
iound to be less than the gain
realized on corn It only requir-
ed 362 pounds of corn to secure a
gain of 100 pounds in live weight
as compared with 390 pounds of
kafir 418 pounds of darso 434
pounds of barley and 578 pounds
of oats
Finally from the profit per
aushel basis com is the best
fattener Compared with it as
a 100 per cent fattener kafir is
99 per cent efficient darso 951
As the market price oi hogs is
generally good thermometer
for the prices of grain the fann-
er will realize a gain of from 4b
100 per cent in marketing his
ufir darso barley and corn in
the form of pork
