They have a character and individuality all

They fit with a nicety.
They become the wearer.
They are, in a word, the ne plus ultra of gentle-

In the nominations for county offices
there were some big surprises. It
had been predicted that the tight be-
tween Nay lor and Latham would be
food and hot, but the prise went to
Walkup, who was hardly considered
In the race. Walkup appears to have
worked among the farmers pretty
thoroughly Morris, of Hooker won
Iks state seaator fight quits handily.

While the returns are incomplete it
looks like Col. Roy Hoffman la the
democratic nominee fjr the senate
from the Oklahoma side. It has been
our pleasure to know Col. Hoffman
for some time and nothing pleases
us more than to see him land the
plum. While his political faith is
different to ours he is nevertheless a
man who Is qualified to look after the
duties of the office to which he aspires
in a manner creditable to himself and
the state he will represent, if elected.
They an Matdag Arrangements.
The committees selected by the
Commerolal club to look after the
entertainment of the vast crowds that
will oome to Guymon on the Fourth,
have been going ahead with the work
In a steady, systematic manner. All
sorts of sports are being provided for
In a few days the big bllla will appear,
ehowlDg all the program aa planned
and the prlcea to be awarded. Watoh
for them and make your plans to
spend the best Fourth that will be
going on anywhere In Guymon. The
committees on held sports for July 4
A 6 are as follows:
Horse Racing aod Roping Contest: -
C W. Jackson and Perry Bright.

Entries are now open and appli-
cation can be made to committeemen.

Among some of the people the feel-
ing appears to prevail that the town
ought to have a good lighting system,
now that it has attained the stage in
point of population that it can afford
something of this kind. A good elec-
tric light plant would be the cheaj est
and best in the long run and we be-
lieve that the city council could Inter-
est some enterprising electrician
should he cere to tackle the job. At
the present rate of growth it will not
be long before we will have a system,
and the man or concern who gets in on
the ground floor will be the one who
will make his pile. There are many
towns not so good as Guymon that
have their lighting systems and that
a plant will pay right now will be
disputed successfully by mighty few.
Makes s deed Shewing.
In another column thla week appeara
the financial statement of the Beaver
County bank. This institution is now
but six years old and has deposits j
and other showings equal to that of,
thousands of banks In counties many
years older than this. The Individual I
deposits alone amount to almost (
$232,000 which Is something any bank !
might well be proud of. In everv
way the bank makes a most creditable
showing. If there are any people
who Imagine there Is no money in this
country, we would like for said
persons to carefully study this report.
It will be an eye opener.

On hie farm near Guymon Judge
Ollson has planted about 10 acres of
Mexican beans from whloh experiment
he expects to fully realise about 120
par acre. This la a new departure
for him In the farming line but he haa
aa idea that it will pay. Beana are
figured to make about 18 or SO bushels

As advertised last week the Herald
gave 110 to the young lady having
the highest number of votes to her
credit Saturday afternoon, June 8.
After a careful count It was found
that the prixe belonged to Mrs. W. C.
Crow, who has been taking an active
interest in the contest. Elsewhere in
this issue will be found the vote as
the returns showed them. There are
now seven contestants In the raoe,
and esch one hae practically an
equal opportunity to win. The vote
is close, and a few new subscribers
secured by those lowest In the list
will put them near the top. As a
stimulus to those who were not the
winner of the first prise the Herald
will five another 110 to the lady who
wina the greatest number of votes
between the date of the first oount and
July 13. This does not mean that
you must be seaond highest. If you
are at the bottom of the list and have
made the greatest gain of any out-
aide the lady who won the flrat 110
you will get the prixe. This ia som-
thing worth going after. When you
buy from any of the merchants who
have coupons in this oontest ask for
them. One dollar purchase means 25
votee—110 means 260 votes. This is
a good time to get interested In the
contest for some lady will get a fine
piiino soon for a few week's efforts.
Since we mentioned it last week
that there would be some 35 bushel
wheat in this section we have had a
few good farmers and men who claim
to know their business tell us that
thev didn't mind seeing a fellow try
to boost the country good and strong
but they hated to see him lie so much.
They argue that the best fields will
not make more than 20 bushels and
that the average will be between that
and 15 bushels. We may be wrong
in the matter but it was surely told to
us for a fact. Had it ralneid Satur-
day and Sunday instead of the severe
wind storms we would still be inclined
to hold up for the large yield. We
guess now that we are off.
The supreme court will meet June
14th, to take up the matter of the in
junction as filed by the several dis-
gruntled politicians and county seat
towns a few weeks ago and later sus-
tained by Judge Panooast. At that
time it will be determined whether we
will have an election in August or the
whole affair will be declared Illegal
Out this way the most of the people
want to have an election, feeling con
fident that even though the democrats
might win, that the naxt time they
come up for public honor or trust that
they will have finished themselves.

The ground aqulrrela tnla year ars
plavlng havoc In many aectlona with
the cantaloupes. Some fields have
been entirely destroyed by them
which has necessitated the cultivation
of the land In aome sort of forage.
When the squirrels leave the tender
plants alone the jack rabbits seem to
take especial delight in hopping
along the hills and nipping off the
best plants In the patch. While the
yield will not be ao gieat thla year on
that account there seems to be a
splendid prospect for an abundant
°rop.
