The work of improving the
public road from Hollis ty . the
river, via McKnight, is making
great headway, and promises to
result in one of the best pieces
of road in Harmon county.
The road from Hollia to'Mc
Knight is already in fine shape,
and only requires a little snrfsc
ingsnd dragging to be placed in
first class condition.
The work now being done is
that provided by popular sub-
scription snd voluntary labor,
and is most effective. It was be

is now completed with the excep
tion of about two miles, which
will soon be put into shape., A
force using eight teams is on the
job and they are putting up one
of the best roads ever construct-
ed in Harmon county.
J&BTHDAY CELEBRATION
Relatives of J. J. Edwards

the grandfather of eighteen
children.

celebration was a sister, Mrs.
Sallie Richardson, of LAttl

OBITUARY
Once more the Divine Ruler
of the Universe saw fit to visit
our community and take from
the home of Mr. and Mrs. L.
P. Geon, one of their most val-
ued jewels, little Jay.
At times we wonder why God
should deprive use of such hap-
piness, then we read: "Suffer
little children to come unto me,
and forbid them not, for of such
is the kingdom of Heaven."
Loved ones, we extend to you
our heart felt sympathy in a
most tender and humble way,
and beg of you to allow your
thoughts to be of his happiness
and not mourn to bring him
back to this sinful world. Think
of your child being in the arms
of Jesus! Let us prepare to meet
your innocent little babe in the
beautiful Haven of rest.
My child, my child, Oh, ever
dear.
Your face I long to see
In joy, or grief, in hope, or fear,
My spirit clings to thee.
The purest feelings of our
hearts
Still cluster round our home,
That lovely face is ne'er forgot,
No matter where we roam.
I deem your home an emblem
meet.
Of that endearing last retreat.
From pain and passion free.
Where peace shall fix your
bright abode.
! give my flower up to God.

there Mao phase of agriculture
merits flre attention in this per-
iod of threatened food famine than
loes hog raising. Hogs have been
somparatlvely low priced in recent
rears—much lower than the coBt of
neat to the consumer would indicate.
That is one reason why Oklahoma has
but 1,039,474 hogs in 1917, according
to State Board of Agriculture figures,
while some years ago we had this
number bested by half a million.
Cholera, too, and shortage of corn
crops have figured Into the decrease.
Agricultural authorities are urging
that every available sow shall be bred
for fall litters. Hogs are going to
bring better prices to the farmers than
in former years. At least, it seenls
reasonable to believe that the govern-
ment investigations will mean
shorter gap between farm prices and
table prices. Hog pasture, kaflr, etc.,
can supplant corn to a large extent.
Vaccination will keep down cholera.
There are too few hogs on Oklahoma
farms.
