Community Co-operation
Already the great manufacturing
industries of the country are concen-
trated in a few' of our large cities
This has meant congestion of popu-
lation slums tenements and sweat
shops At this time we have states-
men educators and philanthropists
who are lending the movement to
stop the flow of population to the
cities and to improve the condition
of those who are there now On the
other hand there are great combi-
nations of capital thut are striving
to concentrate the merchandising
of the country into a few of the
larger cities Millions ‘ were thus
already invested before the people
realized the gravity- of this new
peril When youdestroy the mer-
chant in the smaller towns and cities
of our country you destroy that
community life and community
spirit which has done more than any
one thing to make America great
Here in the southwest farming is
the corner stone of our prosperity
We produce the cotton the corn the
wheat the cattle the wool the fruits
and vegetables that help to feed and
clothe the world Manufacturing is
now small and will continue to lie
for years to come in comparison
with what we receive for our agri-
cultural products But the mer-
chant is a very important factor in
our continued growth and pros-
perity lie is the connecting link
between the producer anil the great
outside world In many cases he is
both a buyer and seller purchasing
the farmer’s products as well as set
ling him manufactured articles At
all times he is a consumer -of those
things which the farmer has to sell
Thomerchant helps to build churchs
and schools to install electric light
plants telephone exchanges and
sewerage systems He contributes
heavily to our tax funds and donates
liberally to every worthy enterprise
He acts as a buffer between his
customer and the accidents and
misfortunes of life
Castle Disqualifies Self
Events in Wagoner county's! “Poli-
tical Fued” have been moving with
startling swiftness during the past
week Nearly every member of
the petit jury empaneled to try the
“grand jury rases” signed a petition
to District Judge R C Allen request-
ing that un assistant county attorney
lie appointed to present the cases
for the state J F Dickey Jr was
named ns assistant attorney to
present these cases
The "grand jury cases" are those
which have arisen directly or in-
directly from the political strife
which has been waged in Wagoner
county Among those who have
participated in the struggle and
who are soon to he brought to trial
are Ilarrie Blake formerly district
clerk charged with embezzlement
James Long formerly sheriff Chap

cepting bribe and perjury Thecases
have been reset for November jlrd
Harrie Blake upon petition of
Mrs Blake was tried upon a sanity
charge in Judgb Hunt's court the

tional events of Ed Lewis cashier

the district court at Wagoner Fri-
day Lewis had been charged with
embezzlement The jury was out
only a few minutes The jury was

which had wormed its way even
into the vaults of the Coweta bank

The Man Who Wants to Be a
Farmer
It is strange but is true neverthe-
less that the greatest advancement
in the line of scientific farming is
being made not by the man who is
a farmer by birth and inheritance
but by the man who wants to be a
farmer — the man who gets his
knowledge first and then proceeds
to apply it There is a great move-
ment on hand for better farming
methods but the initiative is com'
ing from the cities and towns and
from the centers of agricultural edu-
cation Practical knowledge is a
mighty good thing but when it is
not hacked hy scientific information
it is of little worth It is little bet
ter lltffli theoretical knowledge with
out practical experience The best
farmer -in the world is the one who
having the practical experience adds
the scientific knowledge that tells
him why he does things He is
then master of the situation The
next best farmer is the man who
wants to be a farmer and begins
with n foundation of scientific
knowledge — then adds experience
His experience may cost him some
thing but it will not cost him as
much as the experiments of the hit
and miss practical farmer will cost
him — Campbell’s Scientific Farmer

ditions he met
Most hanks provide for the first and last con-
ditions hut how about the second the most im-
portant of all?
