If elections In Oklahoma are honest
then what's all this fuss about and
why open the boxes for a re-count?
A warehouse built In Coweta this
year can meet the cotton emergency
and It can be useft for many years to
come It Is necessity
When a democrat defeats a demo-
crat there Is some room for doubt
but when a democrat defeats repub-
lican It Is all right Perfectly legit-
imate sab!
Elections are honest In November
but from this distance there seems
to be room for doubt In the recent
Democratic primary Er— you see It
depends on whose ox Is gored
Coweta am) her business men and
glnners will take care of this year’s
cotton crop We haven’t exactly
figured out Just how they will do
It but you can always count on the
Coweta business men
The Star lead out on the alfalfa
campaign and will continue to give
it all necessary publicity We are al-
ways heartily in sympathy with any
project that ultimately brings wealth
to the farmers If the farmers prog'
resssowill the town Let's work
for more seintific methods of farm-
ing for more and better farmers
Don’t cut those weeds now They
are just maturing and the winds are
having a picnic scattering the seeds
over your neighbor’s well-kept lawn
He of course has kept his place
looking fine this year but unless
fresh seed are sown In his yard he
might have nothing to do next year
The war In Europe is a terrible
thing but we are liable to have a
condition In our own country even
worse than war If we don’t let
Europe alone and attend to our busi-
ness In our excitement we forget
ourselves and demoralize markets
incite distrust and lead to panics
Business Isn't so bad if prices have
soared but let's get dow n to business
and think along business lines We
can make times much better
From the crowd seen In our busi-
ness houses last Saturday you would
be lead to believe that our farmers
are paying little attention to the
war other than buying carefully
They are determined to let Europe
scrap but as for them they will pur-
sue ihe even tenor of their way and
trust to our wise and careful heads
for a solution of the market prob-
lem The farmer never never brings
on a panic or business depression
He pays very little attention to
lamity howlers
Judge John H King of Muskogee
republican nominee for District
Judge was Hi Coweta Saturday mix-
ing with the big crowd and making
votes Judge King lias the distinc-
tion of serving this and Muskogee
counties as their first District Junge
He served faithfully and impartially
during his entire term and retired
with high honors lie is again seek-
ing this important station wholly
through the solicitation of hisfriends
He believes in a non-partisan judici-
ary and by electing him and one of
the democrats ot Wagoner and Mus-
kogee counties would be honored
with one of the best judicial teams
in the state Judge Kihg has many
warm friends In Coweta among all
political parties who are earnestly at
work for his election

The Cotton Situation
The following letter has been re-
ceived by the Coweta Hardware Co
It should be carefully read by every
cotton grower in this community
You are all aware of the unrest
brought about by thd great European
War Financial circles are at loss to
know what to do consequently mon-
ey is very dose and In fact almost
Impossible to get hold of at the pres-
ent time For the same reason the
cotton market is unsettled to the ex-
tent that it Is almost impossible to
sell it at any price Nevertheless
while conditions are very gloomy at
present they are extremely bright
for the future and we feel no ques-
tion but that 1913 will be the banner
year commercially In American his-
tory There should be ai extremely heavy
demand for cotton goods during the
next year and as ninety per cent of
cotton mill labor are women and
children there should he no shortage
In labor Therefore the only thing
we can see In the way of better prices
are financial conditions and shipping
facilities and as the Government and
business men of the country are now
working on these we feel this will be
worked out to our entire satifaction
during the next two or three months
so it is up to us to put our shoulder
to the wheel and make any reasonable
sacrifice to tide over the present cal-
amity and we will be richly rewarded
in the future ’
At this time every business man
should have a dear head and steady
nerve Do not become scared or
cause your customers to become
scared for there Is absolutely no
cause for it
However you should economize to
the fullest extent Iluy light and
often It is much easier to meet a
small bill than a large one as we
have all learned from experience
You should be extremely careful in
extending credit You should Impress
upon your customers the present con
ditlons and insist that they com
me nee picking their cotton at the
earliest possible moment and pick
all of It themselves they possibly can
and if necessary that they sell a pa
of their crop at I low price In order
to relieve their creditors so that they
In turn may assist them in carrying
a part of it for higher prices By
each customer helping you you are
able to help your creditors which
will relieve the situation all around
You should advise your customers
to put up all the feed they possibly
can and be very economical with
their grain as grain should be very
high another year We cannot Impress
upon you too forcibly the importance
of this
This is one time when every man
should be fair with himself and his
fellow man and treat everyone as he
would want them to treat him But
unfortunately there are selfish and
unscrupulous men in all walks of
life You will have customers that
will want to hold their entire crop
and let the other fellow sacrifilce all
of his This you should not stand
for for one moment
Jobbers as a rule are extremely
lenient and feel a deep interest In
the retail merchant as lie is their
asset but as stated above this Is
one time that we must all have all
the relief you are able to give us
Do not try to get rich tills fall but
but push sales and collections all
you possibly can and shape up your
business foa the good times which
are sure to mine In 1913 and I see no
reason why 1914 should not show
fair profit to all that have given their
business due attention
Tills letter is written after a care
ful study of fundamental conditions
and I trust will be accepted by our
customers In the light in which it Is
written as our interests are mutual
and we are laboring for one common
cause “'Success"
Yours very truly

Big Agricultural Exhibit at
New State Fair
Muskogee' Sept fl 1014 — While
the amusement features of the New
State Fair to be held in Muskogee
October 5th-10th add to its interest
and pleasure the real appeal of the
Fair to the people of Oklahoma is
that fact that it will be the biggest
End best agricural exhibit ever
held in the state This has been
an excellent crop year and the
farmers will have an unusually fine
display of agricultural products to
show at the Fair
Then too Oklahoma is rapidly
developing as an agricultural and
stock raising state Scientific farm-
ing regarded as a fad a few years
ago has proven a boon to progres-
sive farmers and has done much to
aid the state in developing along
agricultural lines The effect of the
farmer’s study along the lines of
of scientific farming will have a
more important effect on the agri-
cultural exhibits at the New State
Fair this year than every before
Last year the agricultural exhibits
were good better than ever-before
This year they will far exceed the
exhibits of last year both in quan-
tity and quality
In the past few years too Okla-
homa farmers have become more
generally interested in pure bred
slock and the quality of stock
raised on the farms of the state is
steadily being raised to a higher
value
It is not only the man who ex-
hibits and wins a premium at the
Fair who profits by it This year
Miss Knell secretary of the Fair
had a letter from a man who exhi-
bited last year and did not win
"It sent me home with a deter-
mination to have something better
worth exhibiting next time I'll be
there this year and I think I’ll win
a premium this time" he wrote
