WINDMILL
THE WINDMILL ia now
recognised as one of the most im
portant Machines used on a farm
A farmer can as well afford to
dispense with the use of a Mower
or Binder and cut his grain and
hay in the old way as to pump
water by hand
THE SAMSON, The Strongest
and most durable WIND MILL
ever manufactured.
We desire to call your attention to a few o fthe many distinguishing fea-
tures, namely, its double gearing which places THE SAMSON in a class by
itself; consists of two sets of gearing, or two pinions and two spur gears en-
gaging each other, making two trains to transmit the power of the wheel to
the pump. The sequal as shown in actual service proves the double gearing
to be one of the most valuable features in the entire theory of transmission
of WIND POWER. Insures perfect equalization of load on four bearings in-
stead of one. Perfect alignment ofpitman, a pump with center lift obviating
all overhanging strain. Solid steel drop forged wrist pin, the only mill on the
American market thus equipped. Perfect alignment of gears which removes
friction and increases life of gears fourfold.
Detachable boxings which can be instantly removed and replaced with
new ones without taking any part of mill off the tower and many other ad-
vantages that we can mention that space will not permit. We have just re-
ceived a carload of
SAMSON WIND MILLS, STEEL TOWERS, PUMPS, AND ETC., and are
prepared to supply you with the best of of everything in the PUMP LINE.
Don't buy a Wind Mill till you see the SAMSON.

After over three and one half years
of trouble, strife. Jealousy, malice,
enmity and confusion engendered and
occasioned by our county division laws
the Olustee Democrat has the follow-
ing to say upon this subject:
"After numerous contests, elections,
fights, killings, moving the county seat
from Mountain Park to Snyder, then
back to Mountain Park, stirring up
strife and enmity that continue for a
generation or more, Swanson county is
no more. That is the decision render-
ed by the supreme court a few days
ago. The opinion holds that it is
necessary for sixty per cent of the
voters of the proposed county to vote
in favor thereof in order to create the
same, which was not the case in Swan-
son. The division of counties, the
formation of new counties and the
contests over the location of new
counties and the contests over the lo-
cation of county seats, have been
source of trouble ever since statehood.
It is to be hoped that such troubles
are about at an end."

Under the headline "Orient Railway
Notes" the Altus Times says of the
water situation there:
"Almost every freight running into
Altus these days brings from one to
three tank cars of water. The Orient
is not getting anything like enough
from the famous "water supply north
of town, and the road is sadly in need
of water for its engines. Odell fur-
nishes a good deal of it. Agent Nich-
oll says that the tank north of town
will be dug twenty feet deeper, in
the hope that enough additional water
may be found to run the engines be-
tween Altus and Clinton."
Altus is bestirring herself heroically
in the interest of a water supply and
there is no doubt but that her efforts
along that line will bring results none
too quickly for her good. Water is one
of the essentials for a good town and
its importance cannot be over-esti-
mated.

which the export prices are materially

The support of the state govern-

concern anu surest bulwark against
anti-republican tendencies.
The preservation of the general gov-
ernment in the whole constitutional
vigor as tne sheet anchor of our peace
at home and safety abroad.
A jealous case of rights of election
by the people.
A mild and safe corrective of abuses

total exportation in May o fthe current
year of 17 million pounds against 7%
million in the corresponding month of
1910, the total for the 11 months end-
ing with May being slightly below
that of the same months In 1910.
Fresh beef which shows hut a slight
reduction in the export price, 10 cents
a pound in May 1911 against 10.8
cents per pound in May 1910, shows
but a slight increase in quantity, ex-
ported, being for May - 1911, 4% mil-
lion pounds against a little over 4
million pounds in May, 1910. Beef
salted or pickled ,of which the export
price in May 1911, is 7.3 cents per
pound, against 8.7 cents per pound in
May 1910, shows' total exports for May
ot the current year amounting to 3%
million pounds, against 1% in May of
the preceding year. Butter also shows
a marked decline in export price ,and
an equally marked advance in the
quantity exported, the export price in
iMay 1911 being 20.7 cents per pound,
against 25.5 cents in May 1910, the e(J

Absolute acquiescence in the decis-

of republics from which there is no
appeal, but to force the vital principle

NOT ALL THE RICH
ARE SOULLESS.
Lawton is blessed with an unknown
philanthopist who first ordered the ice
men of the town to deliver ice to the
sick and needy who were unable to
buy the luxury. A few days later the
same individual, It is presumed, ar-
ranged with the meat markets, of the
town to deliver meat to any who was
too poor to buy It.
These acts of perfect charity were
not accompanied by heralds of loud ac-
The intense heat which has been so
widely and so noticeably prevalent
this summer seems to have abated
not a bit so far. Seventy-six deaths
from prostration are reported from the
New England states, while practically
the whole country is in the grasp of
the same oppressive conditions. No
records show that any other June in
the history of our country ever com-
pared with the heat of last month.

And now the^big papers are saying
that this last fourth was the hottest
one in the history of all our records or
memory. Well, we guess it is so all
right, but we don't just remember all
the particulars.

A HARD STRUGGLE.
quantity exported in May 1911 being
487 thousand pounds, against 331
■thousand pounds in May 1910. Cheese
of which the export price in May 1911,
was 11.5 cents per pound, against 15.5
in May, 1910, shows exports of nearly
3 million pounds, against about %
million in May 1910. Cattle, which
are exported chiefly for meat purpos-
es, show 20,000 head exported in Majk
1911, against a little less than 2,000
in May of last year. Indications are
that the total value of meat and dairy
products for the fiscal year ending
June 30th, 1911, will be about 150
million dollars, against 130% million
in 1910, and 166% million in 1909.
This high figure of 150 million dollars
worth of meat products exported
These principles from the bright
constillation which has gone before
us and guided our steps through an
age of revolution and reformation.
The wisdom of our sages and the
blood of our heros have been devoted
to their attainment. These principles
are found in the congressional record
at Washington.

THIRTY MINUTES FROM THE
WHEAT FIELD TO HOT BISQUITS
All records were broken at Beloit,
I Kansas, a few days ago when wheat
the fiscal year 1911, will not, however,
equal that of earlier years, especially
6 and 1907, when the total exports
of meat products passed the 200 mil-
lion dollar line.
What are the counties to which
these exports are sent? The Bureau
of Statistics' figures show for the 11
months en-.ng with May, 150 million
pounds o flard sent to the United
Kingdom, 138 million to Germany, and
31 million to Cuba. Butter, which is
going out of the country just now in
much larger quantities than usual,
goes chiefly to the Central and South
American countries and the West In-
dies. Of the 4% million pounds of
butter exported in the 11 months end-
ing with May, 1% million went to the
West Indies and Bermuda, against a
little over 1 million in the correspond-
ing months of the prior year. Cheese
exports are widely distributed, Eng-
land being the largest market, witi
the West Indian Islands, Mexico and
Panama next, the smaller quantities
going to China, Japan and the Philip-
pine Islands. Condensed milk exports
average about 1 million pounds a
month, and the value for the full year
will amount to about 1 million dollars,
going, of course, chiefly to tne tropics,
the largest single customer being Cu-
ba, and next in order the Philippine
Islands, Panama, Mexico, Asiatic Rus^
sia, China and Canada, this statement,
as to countries of distribution, being
based upon the export figures of the
fiscal year 1910,
was cut in the filed, threshed, ground
I into flour and made into biscuits in
thirty minutes.
On the farm of W. S. Gable, near
there, the grain was harvested at 3:14
o'clock. One minute later the wheat
in the straw was at the separator. A
quantity was threshed, loaded into the
farmers automobile and at 3:23 was at
the mill. Six minutes saw the wheat
come out as flour and a minute later
the automobile delivered flour at ^
downtown bakery. Fourteen minutes
later, at 4:44 o'clock, the biscuits were
removed from the oven baked and
ready to eat.
Kill More Than Wild Beasts.
The number of people killed yearly
by wild beasts don't approach the
vast number killed by disease germs.
No life is safe from their attacks.
They're in air,, water, dust, even food.
But grand protection is afforded by
Electric Bitters, which destroy and
expel these deadly disease germs from
the system. That's why chills, fever
