A HEAVY DOCKET
FOR SEPT. TERM
OF DIST. COURT
Two Mur er Trials, Ned McDan-
iel Cases, and Other Im-
portant Matters.
With one of the heaviest dockets
the district court has ever had, the
court will convene Monday, Sep-
tember 7. There are many impor-
tant cases that will come up in
this term of court. In the criminal
arraignments there will be two mur.
der trials, the Bud Garrett case and
the Bell case. These cases do not
appear on the docket i>elow for the
reason that murder cases must be
filed in open court, an for this rea-
son the date for these trials are
not set. A large number of impor-
tant lawsuits come up in this term.
There are two divorce cases.
The cases and dates set for trial

A special program for the bene-

A special orchestra furnished ac.

Jasper Pendleton was one of

The program was well received
by a large audience, ar ^ the affaix

If all the farmers who sell their
wheat at the same town woi:ld raise
the same variety of wheat, and
raise a pure, marketable variety,
dealers and millers would soon be
coming there to get the grain at
a price a little above the usual
market price. The cost of handling
grain which is uniform is less than
the cost of handling several grades
of grain. The cost of milling grain
of uniform hardness is less than
the cost of milling several varieties
differing in hardness. A locality
which produces a large amount of
wheat of uniform quality will soon
be widely known. Western Okla-
homa has been farmed long enough
so that the farmers and grain deal,
ers should know the variety which
is best adapted to the soil and cli-
mate. Such a variety should be
adopted as the type of grain to be
grown. Then, all farmers who de
liver at the same town should grow
that variety. By carefully select-
ing the seed, and importing the
good seed in large quantities occa-
sionally. the quality could be kept

In the individual exhibits of

Inasmuch as the Board of Direc-

the purpose of taking in the Big

will see so many interesting
