WHEAT ESTIMATE LOWER
Crop
Will Aggregate 15,000,000
18,000.000 Bushels
Oklahoma's wheat yield for this
year will aggregate from 16,000,000 to
18,000.000 bushels. This represents a
falling off of approximately 50 per cent
from what the prospects were for a
yield the latter part of May when the
dry weather caused the wheat to loso
the moisture that was so necessary
for the final ripening period. Last
year's total yield for Oklahoma was
approximately 20.000,000 bushels.
Chinch bugs did little damage to the |
wheat, the pitfnclpal damage having
been due to the drouth, according to
Charles F. Proutv. secretary-treasurer
of the Oklahoma Oraln Dealers' asso-
ciation. Prospects for a big yield
were never brighter than a week be-
fore the time for the wheat to ripen,
and the crop harvested does not repre-
sent the highest grade of wheat, he
said.
Fifteen million bushels will be a
good yl Id, according to D. C. Kolp.

law, according to local attorneys. The
suit Is brought againat W. H. Wain-
wright as treasurer of Muskogee coun-
ty, and asks the court to prohibit the
treasurer from placing on the tax
books $10,000 worth of company prop*
erty in this county.

cause of the drouth. This also la the
contention of R. H. Conyers, manager
of J. Rosenbaurn Grain company, and
of J. J. Stinnett, manager of the.Okla-
homa Export company. The wheat
will bring approximately 75 cents a
bushel to the farmers, they contend.

LITTLE CARE TAKEN WITH THE
CROP AFTER IT IS QATHCRED
AND DINNED.
JAPANESE ARE AHEAD OF US
Little Brown Men Refuse To Buy For
Their Mills Any of the Staple ~
Which Dose Not Conform to
Their Requirements.
The U. 8. Bureau of Railway Eco-
nomics has the following to aay about
handling cotton:
It is notorious that cotton has been
the most slovenly handled ot all the
agricultural producta of the United
States. The farmers ogen leave It
to be damaged by rain and Infiltrated
by mud. Even when offered for ship-
ment it is sometimes In this condi-
tion. All too frequently it is loosely
baled and Inadequately marked. It
haa been said that upon receipt at
foreign ports bales ot cotton look
more like rag bags. For many years
the rellwaya have sought to have the
cotton shippers exercise greater care,
but the rallwaya in this country have
no euch autocratic power as those of
Germany, wher no ahlpment is ac-
cepted unleaa it la packed and marked
In accordance with rigid specifics-
tions. Government experts hare esti-
mated that of the cotton crop ofHhe
United States there Is between the
gin and the spinner a wastage and
damage amounting to $60,000,000 per
annum.
The Japanese several yeari ago
ruled that they would not accept cot-
ton that was net clean, securely
packed and plainly marked. They
get what they want The possibility
of losing the cuttom of a nation makes
a difference. The trane-Atlantic lines
who in recent years have been mulcted
In heavy damages because of the poor
condition In which the cotton has been
delivered to foreign consignees have
now taken action and will re-enforce
the efforts of the rallwaya. From Sep-
temper 1, 1912, to March 31, 1913, on
the average ot one hale of cotton out
ot every six offered at the South At-
lantic and Quit ports was oondemned;
one bale out of every ten was Im-
properly marked. Beginning July 1,
1913, their requirements will be more
rigid; higher charges will be exacted
tor cotton loosely baled.
The railways in the cotton-growing
districts are therefore redoubling their
efforts with cotton compressors, cot-
ton glnners, farmers and ahlppero.
When those concerned In cotton grow-
ing and ehlpplng And that ehlpplng re-
acts upon their pocketbook it Is prob-
able that a better order of things will
come about Not only the money but
the good,wlll of the foreign consumsr
la worth whlls, especially In these
times when he is enabling to attmulate
the growth of cotton In other countries
than the United States.

Deed Wheat At Hobart.
A. O. Smith, living four milea north
of Hobart, brought the first load uf
wheat to the Hobart market. It toot-
ed sixty-two pounda to the bushel and
is of the finest quality ever seen on
tho street* there. Mr. Smith has 140
aorea that averaged 33 H bushels to
the acre. He ssya the secret of his
good crop of wheat la due to early and
deep plowing and to harrowing the
arop after each rain. Whea't all over
his county turnsd out 30 per cent, bet-
ter than at first eetimated.
Various Wsapons.

Fate of Eight Brldeemalde.
"Three times a bridesmaid never a
bride," runs the old matrimonial warn-
ing; but seemingly there Is danger in
being a brideemald once. Judging from
the remarkable confeaslon made by a
prominent society woman recently.
At her wedding there were eight
bridesmaids, all of whom have since
married, but not one of whom is now
living with her husband.

NOW COCA COLA REFRESH**.
Tho remarkable success which hsl
attended the sale ot Coca-Cola baa beei
explained In many different ways. Bom
have attributed It to "good advertlt
lag;" others to "efficient management,'
others, to Ita "delicious flavor" and stll
others to the fact that tt was tha first ti
the Held of "trade-marked" soft drinks,
la this connection, the opinion ot •
manufacturing chemist who has analys-
ed Coca-Cola and studied Its history tor
many years, will prove Interesting. He
attributes the popularity of the drink
In large part to lta quality of refresh-
ing both mind and body without pro-
ducing any subsequent depression.
He points out the tact that the chemical
composition of Coca-Cola Is practically
Identical with that of coffee and tea
(with sugar added) the only material
difference being the absence of tannlo
acid from Coca-Cola. He points to the
laboratory experiments ot Dr. Holllng-
worth ot Columbia University and of
Dr. H. C. Wood, Jr. of Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the caf-
feine-containing beverages (coffee,tea,
Coca-Cola, etc.) relieve mental and mus-
cular tatlgue by rendering the nerve*
and muscles more responsive W the
will, thus diminishing the resistance
produced by fatigue. These experi-
ments also demonstrate the fact that
the caffeine group of beveragea differ
from the atlmulants In that the use ot
the latter Is followed by a period of de-
pression which cslls for more stimula-
tion, thus resulting In the formation of
a "habit."—Adv.
BENEATH THIS MAN'S DIGNITY
Was Willing to Do Much, but Drew
the Line at Acting aa Secretary
to Barnyard Fowl.
A farmer In one of the neighboring
townahlpa, who had gone Into ada*
title poultry raising, hit upon the
scheme of marking each egg with cer-
tain data In Indelible Ink. His Idea
was to flnd which variety ot chickens
laid best, snd then, when the eggs
were hatched, attach a tag to the
chicken's legs. He soon found that
hla hlrsd man waa negligent about
properly Inscribing the eggs. One day
not an egg waa marked, and the tam-
er lead Ulm the riot act.
The hired man listened In eullea
alienee until the boss finished. Then
"See here. You'll have to get an-
other man."
"Why, Jim, you're not going to leave
me, after working for me for aU
years?"
"Yes, I am," returned the hired
man. "I've done all aorta of odd
chores for you without a whimper, but
I'm durned If I'm going to stay her*
and be secretary to any durned hen!"
In the Swim.
"This society life Is really aomo>

'Ah—been to Atlantic City?"
It ehould be a very eaay matter t*
bear other people's burdens. They
are always so much lighter than ours. -
