The two new terminal elevators or
the city have attracted attention or
thousands of tourists who have pass-
ed through Enid during the past
thirty days And for years to come
they will continue to astonish those
who visit these huge industries and
gaze on wheat bins towering ninety
feet in the air The elevator tower
is much higher than the concrete
wheat bins and the top is neariy two
hundred feet from the earth
The first terminal elevator was
tufted early in the year and the
contractors rushed the work last
winter Before the first elevator was
finished the same contractor started
work on the second elevator Thurs-
day June 10 the first two carloads
el wheat were received at the first
terminal elevator in order to test the
machinery Several days later busi-
ness started and has been quite ac-
tive for three weeks Friday July
35 the managers reported that sur-
ficient orders for storage had been
received so that practically all stor-
age had been engaged The total
rtorage capacity is 540000 bushels
The storage receipts of this term-
inal elevator are good collateral for
loans at banks Congress has pass-
ed laws and provided funds to finance
wheat growers who desire to store
wheat in government bonded ware-
houses or elevators and wait for
better prices before they sell this
wheat But congress would not guar-
antee any fixed price for wheat
The concrete work of the second
terminal elevator is nearly finished
but the carpenters will be kept busy
there until after September 1 The
excavation for the pit of this eleva-
tor started April 27 and in about 20
days the pit construction work for
the foundation of the elevator was
finished Then the elevator started
to tower above the surface of the
earth at the rate of 8 feet for every
24 hours Ty o crews of men have
been kept busy and the work carried

A N Ilenson is one of the young
Enid business men who is rapidly go-
ing to the top Five years ago he
was traveling for a coal company
After traveling for that company 4
years he bought out John Johnson on
East Main street The first year he
handled nothing but coal and was
housed in a small one room brick
building On the first of June of this
year he purchased the stock and
building of the Knower Coal & Feed
company He combined the stocks of
Knower and 14 own company and
moved into tbot former Knower stand
at 224-226 South Independence ave-
nue Mr Henson carries all grades of
Oklahoma coal the best grade of Col-
orado coal which is the Canyon City
grade and also carries anthracite
coal Besides coal he carries feed and
all varieties of field aml garden seed
He has quite a stock of alfalfa seen
on hand now
During the winter season there are
from six to eight employes The com-
pany makes deliveries anywhere at
any time for a fee which is merely
the actual cost of the trip and is
really only nominal
He already has a good trade work-
ed up and will doubtless have one
still larger as honesty and quality in
a combination prevail everywhere
Mr Henson is a young man grow-
ing right along with Enid and has a
firm belief in her future a belief
illustrated by the fact that he has
developed and branched out so much

BELLS AND
AUTO DRIV IN G
The dumbest of human be-
ings is the reckless auto driver
Safety campaigns have been
tried On him to no avail
Crossing gates and alarm bells
and red lights are built for his
benefit nice large white signs
are painted for him policemen
stand ready to arrest him
Still he insists on killing him-
self and others It is pro-
posed now in some states to
install steel curtains at a few
dangerous crossings as an ex-
periment This ought to work
but something tells us it won't
It sounds too good to be true
When a train is due the cur-
lain automatically lowers thus
saving strain on the driver's
mental machinery and his car's
brakes It is thought that a
few headlong plunges into this
elastic steel curtain will ulti
mutely persuade him that his
neck is worth saving But
we don't know Such dumbells
can't seem even to learn by
txperience And as only fools
learn by experience he seems
s utterly to be without hope

Farm Relief
Still Favored
Ohio Senator Tells Plans of Coolidge
to Oppose All Price Fixing
No Attaack On Tariff
PAUL SMITH'S N Y July 21—
Leaving the slimmer White House
Nvhere he hxd been a guest for 24
hours Senator Fes republican Ohio
indicated today that the administra-
tion in the next session of congress
would seek to improve agricultural
conditions by legislation along sound
economic lines but would not favor
price-fixing of crops as advocated by
the farmers' organizations in the
west
Undoubtedly there will be a move
at the next session Mr Fess said to
strengthen measures already taken In
the farmers' behalf and it will be
"along sound lines" designed to facil-
itate the marketing problem
The views of the Ohio senator were
given a few hours after the midwest
farm conference at Des Moines Iowa
had been concluded but he did not
comment on that meeting and its
stand for legislation along price-fixing
lines
Senator less said the movement for
agricultural relief by the federal gov-
ernment was as much a move on the
part of bankers as the farmers In
that state he said the mortgage in-
debtedness is heavy and the banks
have loaned on inflated values Eoth
are advocating flat methods like free
silver in 1896 he added but express-
ed the opinion that this movement
would move along the lines it has al-
ready charted on the agricultural
map arid continue to resist as it did
successfully in the last session price-
fixing and other measures it regards
as unsound Mr less expressed con-
fidence that there would be no form-
idable re-action in the west against
the tariff
Ninety percent of the products of
American farms he said are sold In
this country and the west is depend-
ent on the pure' asing power of the
east which needs the protection of
the tariff to prosper If the east can-
not purchase he emphasized the
west cannot sell its products

MIND OVER MATTER
A chess game played by
mail that lasted two and a
half years was set forth as
the probable means of saving
the life of Louis D Kovach of
Aurora Minn
The game started at Koch-
ester Minn January 4 1924
while Kovach was believed to
be on his death bed at a hos-
pital there A few days ago
Kovach hale and hearty as
ever made the final move that
checkmated his brother Frank
and announced the result Phy
sicians said that without the t
chess game to keep up his de-
termination to live Kovach 41

WHEAT OUTIPOK IS -
STILL GROWING
States Crop May Fe Eighty Million
Bushels Dealers Say in Report
-
Forecast for a wheat crop of "at
least 80000000 bushels" an average
of slightly less than twenty bushels
to the acre was made by Cecil Munn
of the Enid Terminal Elevator Co
An estimate of between 75000001
and 80000000 bushels was made by
Frank Foltz secretary of the Okla-
homa Millers' association compared
with the 09000000 bushels official
forecast of the government bureau
Munn said the crop as a whole is
bettor this year than in many years
Oklahoma mills are receiving large
quantities of the state crop and at
present all are operating on full time
schedules If all state mills operate
full time they can dispose of 20000-
000 bushels of wheat in a year and
indications are that this figure will
be reached this year
