OVER OKLAHOMA
Insurance companies are hiking
the rate on the enlisted men who go
to the front. They figure on a one-
year war, so the newspapers con-
tend.
A1 Jennings who Is now In New
York, where they are making pic-
tures of him In his ' Beating Back-
story, says he will return to Oklaho-
ma the middle of this month and re-
sume his campaign where he stop-
ped. Business will pick up when A1
lands In the state.
The Sallsaw Star-Gazette has a
bank advertiser who Is going at the
business In a systematic manner.
Every week this cashier has a dou-
ble column ad filled with some good
Buggestlons to farmers on stock, si-
los, etc. The Herald hasn't any Idea
how that bank stands In the com-
munity, but If It had a thousand

bers and Its adoption by an over-
whelming vote In the special elec-
tion. In the submission of the
amendment by the legislature and in
Its adoption by the people at the
polls, every statutory and constitu-
tional requirement was met, says the
opinion, In knocking out the con-
tentions of the ousted board.
THINGS OTHEK PAPERS TELL
The Big Jo Lumber Co. has a .10-
ton silo erected In Its yard at this
place for the purpose of demonstrat-
ing the sIlo'B value. The firm put
It up early In the season to prove
that the hot weather will not shrink
It.—Goodwell News.
A big, home-grown, corn-fed girl

Stock News a deal has just been con-
history has Oklahoma gone into May
with the promise of such a wheat
harvest as is forecast by recent rains.
Consider what this means to all the
western country—good times for the
farmers filtering through to all clas-
ses in the community; an Increased
purchasing power, calling In turu
for goods and providing for more
work. This season opportunity Isn't
going to knock at-the door—It Is
going to pound.—I^aKemp Mirror.
According to John F. Schrader,
who lives south of town In the can-
on, and who has been here 20 years
the water in the canon Friday was
two feet higher than he had ever
seen It. Not even when the Blair
dam went out and the water rus led
down in a wall did the water come
within two feet of last week's rec
ord. Wagons, buggies and farm im-
plements were carried down the < an-
on from his place. All have been re-
covered with but little damage, ex-
cept one buggy. Heavy rocks from
the old rock fence which surrounded
his house were carried across the
canon. His only damage to live
stock was 35 chickens drowned.

roads leading Into Texhoma. The
Lest and cheapest and quickest way
to do this 1b for the citizens of th
town to buy shovels and go out and
Invite the farmers along the road to
icome and help build roads, and If
we town fellows will do half
much work we will have gome good
roads to boast of. A plan of this
kind will not require much discus-
sion, but It will take considerable la-
bor.—Texhoma Argus. The Argu?
plan is a good one, one that has
proven itself worth while by many
trials. Every town that tries the
the plan finds It works well and a
lot of good roads are built thereby

The Texhoma Argus notes that Ed-
itor Thomas Is being solicited to get
into the race In Cimarron county for
the legislature. Mr. Thomas, the
Argus add. Is trying awfully hard to
get out of It, but feelB that it Is his
duty If they urge him too strongly to
make the sacrifice for the benefit o'
the suffering public.

The five-man board of agriculture
which wbb appointed by the gov-
ernor In pursuance of the provision
of the constitutional amendment
adopted at the special election Aug-
ust 5, 1913, is declared to be the
only duly qualified and elected board
of agriculture by the supreme court
of the state In an opinion handed
down Thursday by JuBtlce Ixiofbour-
row. The board Is composed of G. T.
Bryan, G. A. Ramsey, J. F. Darby,

tack on the Cruce board, made by the
board claimed to have been elected
at the farmers' Institute at Stlllwa

Every other bridge In the county
was taken by flood and It Is general-
ly supposed that If extra precaution
had not been taken, this bridge like-
wise would have been washed away.
The citizens of our county seat town
worked all day filling sacks with
Band and piling five hundred of the
sacks around the pillars and about
three hundred on top of the bridge
This represented considerable work,
but one can figure that it saved the
county about $3,000. Forgan En-

they will ship about 2,000 head to
the same point for the summer. They
had a part of this bunch shipped in
here last fall to carry them through
the winter months. It was quite a
sight to see the bunch come In Sun-
day and be loaded on the cars ready
for transportation. Elkhart Is be-

road has been built.—Elkhart En

Mrs. Henline of Arkalon for saving
the crew of a west bound freight.
She heard a terrible roar and at
once aroused the people about 12
o'clock Friday night. The people of
Arkalon had been to the railroad
bridge east of town earlier in the
evening, but had gone home little
thinking that In a few minutes the
bridge would be gone. Mrs. Henline

"Owing to a severe cough and lung
trouble I could not work at all for several
months," writes Lewis Ohaniblin, of Man-

could not help me. My weight ran down to
115 pounds. Dr. King's New Discovery
cured nie, and I now weigh 160 pounds.
"I am an old lover of your most valu-
able Godsend to suffering humanity—Dr.
King's New Discovery," — writes Jennie
Fleming. New Dover, Ohio, "for it cured me
of a dreadful cough of three years' standing.
It was so bad that I would cough until I
would be speechless, but, for the quick relief
of vour wonderful remedy gave me, it's
worth more than all the remedies I ever used
before."

Getting Rid of Typhoid
Only three American soldiers had
typhoid fever last year. When you
think that there were about 90.000
soldiers in service, and that they
were scattered about from the Phil-
ippines to Alaska and Panama, thiB
record Is something worth while.
The Journal of the American Med-
leal Association estimates that If the
army had had as much typhoid as
the rest of the country, It would have
had 450 cases. The reason It has
three Instead of 450 Is typhoid vac-
cination.

to their own devices, take chanceB

ease. Uncle Sam, not being able to
