Texas county from the very begin-
ning.
The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

day by a door being blown down on
her. The weight of the door was
such that the little child's head was
struck so forcibly from behind that

broken nose and yas considerably
bruised. Pneumonia has added to the
complication of the trouble but the
little one is doing as well as can be
expected.
Joe Close, while in town Tuesday,
was telling us about a ranchman in
Texas, a friend of his, who fed a
bunch of steers 5,000 pounds of oil
cake and 45 acres of bundle maize
rrom November 1 to January 1. Aft-
er January 1 this ranchman opened
a silo in which he had put 40 acres
of maize. He is still feeding from
that silo, has used no oil cake and
his stock has steadily gained in flesh.
This same ranchman is putting in
two iarge pit silos this summer,
making three in all. What better
argument for the silo is needed than
that?

must have been sold spring wheat.

of a few weeks ago when thoae fields
were badly damaged. We have heard
of several fields being killed by the

sibly may have been the cause of the
damage above mentioned.

no responsibility for George Frittz's
departure from the path of political
rectitude he mapped out for him in
bygone years. Mr. Brown is a fine
old man and the Herald Is pleased
to form his acquaintance. Before
leaving for his home in Kansas, Mr.
Brown purchased the John Sullivan
property and will move to Guymon
in the near future to make his home.

We note by the Texhoma papers
that T. W. Clayton, former commis-
sioner from the Third district, has
announced hia candidacy for the
nomination of commissioner from
that district. While the Herald is
of opposite political faith neverthe-
less It ia pleased to say that in Mr
Clayton, Texas county had one of the
best officials it has ever been her
privilege to elect. No man could
possibly look after his duties more
diligently or sincerely than did Mr.
Clayton. His honesty was never
questioned and if he is nominated
to again make the race the Herald
will have nothing but kind words to
say of him, for it can conscientiously
say nothing else.
