J. W Robertson and family, who
have been spending the past six
weeks visiting relatives and friend*
in Indiana and Illinois, brings back
a very gloomy report concerning crop
conditions in Indiana and Illinois.
Mr. Robertson says that notwith-
standing the gavernment report of
a 90 per cent wheat crop in Indiana,
It is his belief the crop in that sec-
tion of the country which they Ma-
lted, the outlook does not warrant
the prediction of more than 2"' per
cent of a full crop, and hi ought to
know, as he spent hi* early days on
a farm there. He sa>'9 their corn Is
not more than ot> per cent of a stand,
and that they are now replanting and
he thlnkR this corn has a very poor
chance of making a crop, as the sea-
son in Indiana is shorter than it is
in Oklahoma. Mr. Robertson passed
through several of the north Missis-
sippi \ alley states and he says that
in none of them did he see crop pros-
pects that would even approach tl ose
of Woods county. Mr. Robertson
very strongly denounces the policy
of the government in boosting th.*:r
crop reports to the great detriment
of the farmers.—Alva Pioneer.
What came very near proving a
fatal Joke was pulled off Tuesday
night. A party of young folks In
several cars went out for a picnic
and it was remarked that one young
man who was driving a car was too
reckless and would kill some one
before he got back. This suggested
the joke and on the way home he i
dashed ahead of the other cars, ran
his car into a ditch, placed a cushion
on the ground and one of the young
ladies was placed on the cushion
while another took her head In her
lap, and when the other cars came
up It was reported the young lady
was dead. It was too much for one
young lady of the party who had
been In 111 health for some time and
so frightened her that two physicians
were required next morning to save
her life. The young folks deeply re-
gret. It and promise not again to be
guilty of anything of its kind. At
this writing the young lady is doing
nicely and probably will be ready for
another car ride in a few days, but
not for another joke.—Hollis Post-
Herald.

The board of county commission-
ers were in session Thursday of last
week hearing testimony in the ous-
ter proceedings instituted against G. j
W. Taylor, justice of the peace of
the Gray district. Sufficient evidence i
was not submitted, in the opinion of
the commissioners, to warrant their
taking action to remove him and the
ca8e was dismissed. A large number
of the citizens of Gray and vicinity
was in attendance as witnesses. It
seems that the trouble arose between
George Ragsdale and Justice Taylor,
Ragsdale alleging that Taylor dis-
turbed his peace and he In turn
sought to "disturb" the justice of the
peace. The sentiment was pretty
equally divided for and against. The
affair was one of those unfortunate
occurrences which disturb a neigh-
borhood and engender a lot of ill
feeling and in the end no good thing
is accomplished, but which seems un-
avoidable.—Beaver Herald.

loaded here Monday. One is for the

A fine rain fell Tuesday night of
inestimable value to Beaver county
farmers, coming on the eve of bar-
During the windstorm of Wednes-
day night the house of Joe Hoche
was badly shaken up. Mr. Hoche
was away from home at the time,
and when he returned after the
storm abated he found part of his
house had changed positions on the
foundation, having been torn away
from the main building entirely. A
chicken house was carried several
hundred feet and demolished near
the railroad, his barn suffered the
loss of Its roof, nearly all of Mr.
Hoche's chickens were killed, stocK
released which were not found until
the following morning after a search
all night. It seems that the storm
covered a narrow strip and assumed
the proportions of a twister passing
over from George Spindens to the
Hoche place, raising everything in
its path. • ♦ • One of our good citl-
i zens, J. H. McDonald, has recently
been made foreman on the section
at Guymon and is now there in
charge of that work. Mr. McDonald
has not yet moved his family to Guy-
mon, but it is thought they will move
soon. We hope his work will bring
him back to Optima within the near
future. • How handy that bank
would be these days. Optima cer-
tainly needs a bank now if it ever
did or ever will. Grain wagons are
streaming into town now loaded to
their full capacity. Where do all
of the checks go that Rifle & Gilmore
pay out at the elevator in Optima,
of which Paul Wright is manager.—

Hooker and Texas County Honored
Hooker and Texas county can take
pride in the achievements of three of
its young people. At the graduating
exercises of the Oklahoma Agricul-
tural & Mechanical college held re-
cently, the honor students of the col-
lege history was discovered when
three honors were confined to one
family. The honors were: To Miss
Nina Boyd, highest grade in the
teachers' normal training division in
the senior class; O. C. Boyd, honor
student in the junior class of the
agricultural department, and H. C.
I Boyd, highest grade of any student
in the department of veterinary
j medicine.
I Miss Boyd not only took the hon-
ors in her last year in college, but
also won them in her sophomore and
junior years. She took a prominent
part in everything that would help to
broaden her education. She was
very active in the educational society
and showed exceptional talent in the
studies of languages and as a musi-
cian. She is taking some post grad-
uate work this summer and will
teach the coming year.
The agricultural course Is a very
thorough one, and to win first place
In his class It shows the exceptional
ability of O. C. Boyd. He is special-
izing in agronomy, and so proficient
was he that he was one of the as-
sistant instructors in the botany de-
partment during the past year.
In order to meet the constant de-
mand for skilled veterinarians, the
college has established a school of
veterinary medicine, and to H. C.
Boyd belongs the honor of making
the highest grades in the department.
This is a hard course, but the grad-
uates from this department are in
constant demand.
Texas county had about seven of
its young people in the A. & M. col-
lege last year taking the practical
work that will fit them to make a
living, and the Indications are that
there will be an increased enroll-
ment next year.

Some of the ancient races got rid
of the old and the Incurably 111 by
either sending them out into the
wilderness to starve or by knocking
them over their heads with a club.
The club method was more merciful
because it shortened the agony.
Civilized races, however, seek to
prolong life instead of to shorten it.
The physicians confess that they
know so little of the recuperative
power of the human system that they
cannot tell when death is near. They
may be morally convinced that a
patient cannot live twenty-four
hours, only to discover that he
throws off the Illness and gets well.
This is why they administer oxygen
and inject saline solutions into the
blood and resort to all known expe-
dients to keep the heart beating.
They have even gone so far as to
make an Incision in a man's chest so
they could manipulate the heart with
their hands. They have kept the
pulse beating and the lungs working
for hours by this heroic treatment.
Life is too sacred a thing for any
man to shorten it to escape suffering.
And suffering? Who shall say what
moral mission it performs in the re-
generation of the world?—Philadel-
phia Ledger.
