In Interest of Farmers' Union.—

lahoma Farmers' Union has tullcd a
meeting of the exeeutive committee to
be held In Shawnee county February
16, when a legislative commitcce will
be named which will work in conjunc-
tion with n similar committee from
"the Stato Federation of Labor. The

ing the session of the legislature.

two days' session at McAlester by tho
election of the following officers: F.
F. Davis, Anadarko, president; D. W.
Sherrell, Pauls Valley, vice president;
B. S. Beard, Tulsa, secretary and treas-
urer. Shawnee will be the place of

Approves Tulsa Charter.—Governor
Haskell has approved the Tulsa city
charter, the first adopted in the state
providing for a commission form of
government. The charter waj adopt-
ed by tho people of Tulsa last July
and has been in tbe governor's hands
since that time. The governor was
not entirely satisfied with the charter,
but agreed to give ills approval so as
to give an opportunity for court ac-
tion to test its legality.
Socialists Are In Control.—A pe-
culiar condition exists in the Peoria
school district in Ottawa coun-
ty. It is the only district in the state
of which all the members are social-
ists. elected at the last state election.
They have no school or funds to build
a building. The principles of the
party require that socialism shall be
tau'-ht to their children. A school
could hardly be operated suceasfully
there without floating bonds
Ardmore to Govern by Commis-
sion.- Governor C. N. Haskell has ap-
proved the Ardmore city charter,
which is the second city to put the
commission form of government into
effect. The first was that of Tulsa.
The Ardmore charter provides for a
commission of four members, one from
each ward, and the mayor, who has
the veto power on ordinances adopted
by the commission, although ordi-
nances may be passed over his
veto.
$C00 On Bad Man's Head.—Governor
Haskell received a telegram from
County Attorney W. L. Cleeton of Cim-
arron county, at Boise City, stating
that B. F. Milligan, a deputy sheriff
of that county, had been shot and kill-
ed by Kzra Revis, a well known "bad
man" of western Oklahoma, who was
regarded as a desperate character. Mr.
Cleeton asked that a reward be of-
fered for the cature of Revis. A re-
ward of $500 was at once offered far
the arrest and delivery of Revis to
the sheriff of Cimarron county.

ket opened steady at an advance of
2@5 points, in ressponse to higher ca-
bles and bullish week-end figures, with
March selling at 9.18c on the caller at
a new high record for the season. The
census report showing 12,470,000 bales
ginned to .January 1 was just about as
expected, possibly a shade heavier, j
and had evidently been fully dis-
counted. The market weakened right
after the opening on realizing for over |

middle of the morning about 2@3
points net lower on the active months,
except October, which was unchanged. |

never get more than temporary relief.
A dragging pain and lameness in my

The Disturbing TelerJ'1one-
"The telephone has destroyed all the
privacy of society," said tfhe society
girl. "tt breaks in on eV^ything.
Nothing is sacred to it. You n?aJr
saying your prayer,. The tele?M}one-
Or in the midst of your bath. The
phone. Or doing up your back ha'ir.
or, worst of all, a lelightful man may1
be making love to you, when k-ling,,
k-ling, k-ling! The telephone breaks
off the thread of his theme and he
fails to resume it."
A Woman's Threat.
"Well, if that ain't the limit," mused
the postman, as he came down the
steps of a private residence.
"What's the trouble?" queried the
passing citizen, who had overheard the
postman's noisy thought.
"Why," explained the man in gray,
"the woman in that house says if .1
don't come along earlier she'll get ner
letters from some other carrier."
His Idea.
Mrs. Crimsonbeak—I see for use
on rural delivery routes a letter box
has an electric attachment which
gives the alarm in the house some dis-
tance away when mail matter has
been deposited within by the carrier.
Mr. Crimsonbeak—Seems to me it
would be more valuable if it. only gave
an alarm when a bill was deposited in
the box.

Save the Cotton Seed.—Cotton
growers in Oklahoma are being
urged to save their cotton seed,
if they have any on hand, otherwise
to lose no time in laying in a needed
supply. The cotton crop in this state
last year was cut short by the un- :
seasonable weather and the oil mills !
say they cannot supply the unexpected
demand for seed with what supply
they have on hand, further that it is
not of as high grade as is usually
used.
Engine Cuts Off Legs.—William C.
Harris, a switchman in the Rock Is-
land yards at Chickasha, had both
legs cut off while at work in the
yards. He was riding on the pilot of
a switch engine when the cylinder
head blew out and knocked him off.
He fell between the rails and the en
gine passed over his body, cutting
both legs off just above the knee.
Two Dead Beneath Wheels.—R. F.
Pierson, a farmer, was run down by
a Frisco train at Kiefer and his body
ground to pieces. Pierson's team
was running away and dashed in
front of the moving train. J. W.
Doran, a farmer on his way to Sey-
mour. Texas, was run oved and killed
by a switch engine in the Katy yards
at Muskogee.
Bank Robbers Defy Citizens.—One
of the boldest bank robberies in the
history of the southwest occurred
when six men entered the Bank of
Wellston, blew the safe and got away
with $5,000 in cash. The robbers,
heavily armed, rode into Wellston af-
ter midnight. They erected a barbed
wire barricade around the bank and

tube is inflamed yor have a rumbling sound or im-
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf-

"Holland threatens to spank us."
"Well, what of it, your excellency?"

"Yes, but, confound it, this is a

vented by us, gives to the Starch a
