PROSPERITY FOR JOHNSONS
Oil wells have not as yet begun to
give forth their wealth of lubrication
in Cimarron county, but our fellow
townsmen, H. F. Johnson and son
Homer, have suddenly become oil
magnates of no littLe class.. H. F.
and wife are making about a month's
visit in Ohio and probably have no
more than found it out yet, but Ho-
mer reoeived authentic information
a few days ago that two producing
■wells had been brought in on their
Jand in a new oil field east of here
in Oklahoma. These wells are to-
gether producing from fifteen to six-
teen hundred barrels of oil per day.
Homer will have to sell jitneys for
less money now so as to seLI more
• of them to consume all that oil.
We congratulate them in their suc-
cess.
MOTHER PASSES
The News force has wire stating
that Mrs. E. D. Thomas^ mother
-of our editor, to whom he was called
.a few weeks ago, passed away at
Lebanon, Tenn., Monday. We are
sure our readers join us in sincere
sympathy in his great loss.
CAN YOU SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?
A Jewish clerk asked his employer
for an increase in wages.
The employer answered:
"You admit that there are only
365 days in the year, i'ou work on-
ly eight hours a day, therefore there
are 16 hours a day in which yon do
not work; this amounts to 244 days
in a yeai> leaving 121 days. There
are 52 Sundays, leaving 69 days.
You work only a half day on Satur-
days, amounting to 26 days, leaving
43. You take one hour for lunch,
making 16 days, leaving 27 days.
Yo.u take two weeks vacation with
pay, amounting to 14 days, leaving
13. There are 12 legal holidays, leav-
ing one day, and that being the Jew-
ish Day of Atonement you do not
come to work." -Ex.

HANCOCK OHNICK
Sunday, June 25, at high noon at
the home of the bride about six
miles west of town, William O. Han-
cock and Miss Mary Ohnick were hap-
pily wedded. The bride is the old-
est daughter of our well known and
prosperous farmer friend, John Oh-
nick, and wife. Mary came with
the family from her birthplace at
Minneapolis to this country about
ten years ago, and she has become
one of our most accomplished young
ladies. The groom came west with
his father eight years ago, settling
near where Richards, Colo., now is.
He worked for a long time for R.
A. Murray on his big ranch on the
Cimarron. Later he was employed
on the old LKW ranch west of town
by Otto & Murray and continued hie
services for Otto & Johnson there.
It was while at this latter place he
became acquainted with his bride liv-
ing near the pasture.
It was a very beautiful wedding,
Rev. Tom Steele performing the cer-
emony. The arch which the couplei
stood under was exquisitely decor-
ated. Three large, white wedding-
bells hung over the ferns and roses
of the arch. The bride wore a beau-
tiful gown of embroidered silk and
a flowing veil crowned with orange
bossoms. The groom appeared very
handsome in the conventional black.
A sumptuous wedding feast such
as only Mrs. Ohnick can prepare was
enjoyed with the close friends of the
family, who were present to a num-
ber exceeding forty. All join in a
hearty chorus of praise for that din-
ner of dinners.
Quartettes, chorus songs and solos
entertained those present after the
ceramon.y was performed and dinner
was served. The littl three-year-old
sister of the bride sang a very cute
solo that was highly .complimented
and showed marked talent. Miss An-
nie Ohnick rendered the wedding
March very beautifully.
The happy couple started Monday
morning for the fine 320-acre home-
stead of the groom in Baca county,
Colorado, where they will make their
future home. We all wish them suc-
cess and continued happiness.

A heavy rain fell between here
and Texhoma and Dalhart last night,

clouds looked like they were getting
lots of moisture north, east and
south of us. We are not suffering
much yet but farmers may be seen
taking a longing squint at the clouds
now and then.

FOR COUNTY CLERK
Dave Ingle, who lives' down .it Ma
rella between here and Texhoma,
starts his announcement this week
as a candidate for County Clerk of
Cimarron county. He will make the
race on the Republican ticket. Dave,
with his father and brothres, came to
the country when it settled about
ten years ago and they are mnking a
success at farming here. He has a
wide and favorable acquaintance over
his and the east padftrtof the county.
He was for throe years the genial
postmastera t Marella, but has never
held an elective office or even so
nuichu s asked for one. His friends
had to do considerable urging to get
him to try for the place, but he Iws
decided to do it and is going into
it ft) win row. Ho is a fine young
married man and would make a cred-
itable county official.
FOR COIJNI* SHERIFF
S. (J. Sinv in announces that ho
is a candidate to succeed himself
;>s Sheriff of Cimarron county. He
is the oHy Republican sheriff the
county ever had and is one of only
.1 few in that party with friend#
enough in other parties in the coun-
ty to land them in office. Sherry
Simpson has many, friends and they
stay by him and his actions stead-
fastly. He points to his neighbors
down on the farms near his as his
true referer" es. They say he is a
fine nan and a ^ood neighbor. Ow-
ing to his wide acquaintance over
the county from performance of his
duties, the former campaign and oth-
erwise then- is v< iy little we could
say that !s rot known. He only
ask* for sn ivasorflftle consideration
of the mam 11" in which he has cont-
ducted the office th© past two years
and for the support of those who
cim conscientiously aid him for a
second term.
The News hits* been authorized to
announce the candidacy of Theodore
W of Hurley, Ok lipoma, as the
Socialist candidate for Sheriff of Cim-
arron county. Mr. Woods has been
one of mil fore:: est farmers since
he came to the country ten years
ago. tf>> has been too busy hereto-
fore to think much about politics or
running for office, but he was in-
dued to run thi t time. He has
prospered w:th the other energetic
- ttl.-rs here ord has his farm fixed
u;> real nic'- and a nice bunch of
tock around him. He takes active
interest in the 1 atlee of his party
and by his diligence shows that he
is strong for what he believes*is
right, but he is rot radical on any
proposition. He hails from Missouri
and is qualified tor the office he seeks.
