WHAT ABOUT A COUNTY
ADVERTISING THE COUNTY
BRANSTINE CASE DISMISSED
LOCAL AND PERSONAL
DEMONSTRATION AGENT?
The case against W.J. Bran-
stine forfencin g section lines was
dismissed Friday on motion of the
county attorney. While it is not
officially announced it is under-
stood that there will be no further
prosecutions until the county com-
missioners have asked upon ques-
tion under the provisions of the
new road law. The new law does
not go into effect until June 22,
and the commissioners cannot take
any action before their next regu-
lar meeting first Monday of July.
The road question will be up again
at that tune and the policy of the
board will be announced and the
highways declared.
DISTRICT COURT
District court convened Tuesday
morning for the regular June lerrn
and adjourned the same day at '6
o'clock. Was to have met Mon-
day afternoon but Judge Crow
f liied to show up. Nothing of in
terest came up that our reporter
o->uld hear of except the tax case
of Zimmerman vs County in which
it was sought to avoid paying tax-
es on lands bought from the state.
The,court held that the faxes must
be paid and the law constitutional
The osse will be appealed. John
L. Gleason waxed very eloquent in
his argument of the issues invoi
ved.I A few exparte cases were
called and heard or paseed and tln-
reit of the docket passed over to
the December term. No jury was
called and but few litigants and
witnesses were on hand.
SINGLES WIN AGAIN
A ball game was matched with
Griggs to be played here last
Saturday but the Griggs boys
failed to show up so the Marrieds
and Singles went after each other
again. Several of the good play-
ers of Willowbsr were over and
a much better line up was form-
ed than in the preceeding games,
still the total scores are shame-
ful to publish, 19 to 13 in favor
of the Singles. A good size
crowd was on nand for the sport
and a good game was enjoyed.
Carl Anderson of Willowbar
pitcned for the Singles and Law-
rence French did thp catching;
Guy Lewis pitched for the mar-
ried buuch and Ted Schneider
did the catching. Don't infer
from this statement that Guy
Lewis is married. He only wants
to be,but the boys allowed him
pitch for the other side as they
were short on pitcher- Here is
the lineup on each side, Mar-
rieds: Ted Schneider, Oscar Va-
natta, Frank Soutar. Walter Pet
ers, BerKshire, Luther Mayhan,
Stowe Martin, Guy Lewis and
John Simpson. Singles: Ralph
Vanatta, Carl Anderson, Zach
Henshaw. Bert Long, Warren
Lewis, Bill Henshaw, Walter
Hamilton, Lawrence French and
Cyril Strong.-
We print the following highly
appreciated letter. If the sug-
gestion regarding the pamphlets
meets your approval, write us
the number you will take, If e
nough is ordered to justify their
publication, the News will under

June 1 1915.
The Cimarron News,
Boise City, Okla.
Dear Editor:
Your "Country Trips" are in-
teresting. I have been reading
the News for nearly two years—
since I became a property own-
er in Cimarron County, and I
have seen nothing that equals
the individual showing that you
make in your weekly paper, deal
ing with the crops raised, and
the amountand kind. This looks
to me like "pay ore," and should
when you get through visiting
the county, be placed in pam -
phlet form. 1 am willing to sub
scribe for several thousand of
these pamphlets.
' I hope that our Commercial (
Boa rd will take this matter up|
and see if they cannot interest
the larger foreign land holders
in paying for the work and dis-
tributing the pamphlets.
I wish to commend you for
your splendid enterprise, zeal
and loyalty to Cimarron County's
interests in showing up the real
conditions of the county and
one that it appears to me "hard
to beat."
Any one looking for a home, a
home that can be secured for
practically one tenth what it
would cost two hundred miles
further East, will surely be inter
ested to know that there is such
a place as Cimarron County, Ok
lahoma in which land can be
bought from lii.OO to $10 an acre,
and oue which the farmer, with
proper intelligence, can make e-
nough in a year or two to pay
for his land.
Respectfully yours.
C. F. Mingenback.
Attorney J. O, Lynch of Tex
horaa was a court attendant and
guest of Judge Pugh while here,
He came out Friday. His name
was omitled from the report of
the ball game elsewhere in this
issue. He was umpire and gave
entire and complete satisfaction.

Board of County Commissioners,
Boise City, Okla.
Gentlemen—This is to remind
you that the IJ. H. Dept. of Agri-
culture, in co operation with the
Oklahoma A. & M. College? will
furnish $700 per annum on the
salary of a county farm demonstr-
ation agent for your county, pro-
vided. yon will appropriate the
$500 which you are authorized to
do under the laws of the state,
The development of your agri-
cultural reeourses can be greatly
enhanced thru the agency of this
cooperative work. We are anx
ions to help and feel sure you will
do your part, The counties that
do not have the work are helping
pay the cost for those that have
but receive no direct benefit.
Very truly yours,
,Jas. A. Wilson. Ass't State Agt,
Shall the County Tmploy Agent?
In view of the fact that the
county commissioners will be ask
ed to act upon the proposition r f
employing a county agent tor Cim-
arron county as explained by the
letter above, the commissioners
desire to know if the people of the
county want such agent and farm
demonstration work. The next
meeting of the commissioner is the
time for making all county levies
and the matter will be settled then
for next fiscal year. In order that
the people may have an under
standing of the nature of the work
and the benefit to be derived there
from, Mr. Jackson, agent of Texas
and Beaver counties, will niake a
tour of the county, in company
with one of our citizens, and ex-
plain the matter fully so that they
may say whether they wish the
commissioners to employ such a-
gent.
