better argiculture by growing bet-

our progressive commonwealth
should step into the ranks in her
proper place—up near the head of
the line. Oklahoma should make
such an exhibit of corn, wheat,
bruom corn, kaffir corn, alfalfa,
bermuda, and native grasses, as
will establish for all time to come
her superior resources of soil and
climate in the production of these
great staples. The State Board of
Agriculture has no appropriation
which it can expend for the ex-
pense of making this exhibit. It
can and will, however, lend its ev-
ery effort to co-operate with the
individual farmers of the state,
and with such local and state or-
agnizations as can be induced to
enlist in this work, we know of no
agency through which more can be
accomplished than the aggressive
and enterprising County Farmers
Institutes.
Let the work of collection begin
with your local fairs given under
the auspices of the Institute dur-
ing the fall months. The Board
will endeavor to furnish a compe-

these fairs. Carry the work on by

Letter From Dad Hardin.
Here comes Daddy again. My
wife has sent me four Sun-Monit-
ors since I have been in Texas and
they have been highly appreciated.
It seemed as though 1 had received
twenty or thirty letters all at once.
Well I thought I would let the boys
hear from me onje more before I
come home. Last Saturday evening
I went out to see Major Klum, an
old Federal soldier, and a close
neighbor of mine when I lived in
Texas. Sunday we talked over by-
gone days. Monday morning I
went out on the west fork of the
Trinity river, killed all the squir-
rels I wanted and got back in plen-
ty of time to have them for din-
ner. After dinner told the Major
I would like to go down to the riv-
er where I used to live and see the
old place and see how things had
changed in seventeen years. I
moved down to Vineyard last week
and have been eating squirrel and
fish every since I have been here.
I went fishing yesterday and
caught lots of them as long as your
arm and am doing nothing today
but laying around telling big stor-
ies and drinking mineraljwater.

Elks Secure Charter.
Wnrd was received here last
week from Geo. D. Locke that the
B. P. O. E. Lodge had received its
charter from the grand lodge
which met in Los Angelos Cal.,
last week. The grand officers of
the lodge issued dispensations to
members to form lodges at that
city. The grand officers meet ev-
ery year and issue charters to the
new lodges starting out. The
members for the grand lodge meet-
ing from Oklahoma left on a spec-
ial train from Oklahoma City and
will be taken for a trip through
the west. Mr. Locke will not be
home for several weeks yet as he
has some important business to
transact before his return and will
likely visit the Alaaka-Yukon-Pa-
cific Exposition.
Carnival Failed to Appear.
The carnival that was to have
been here this week has failed to
appear and the Fire Boys are at a
loss as to what to do for a show
for they say they must have one.
This company was billed here for
last week but on account of bad
schedule of trains put off showing
for a week and were to have been
here last Monday. The boys tele-
phoned them about some particu-
lars of their contract when they
learned they were not coming at
all. They intend making arrange-
ments with another company later
in the season.

Fall From Windmill U Fatal
Eugene Cowan, the twelve year
old son of I. E. Cowaifc living in
the northwest part of town, fell
from a windmill last week and
crushed his skull. He had climb-
ed upon the tower to fix some part
of the mill and through some acci-
dent lost his balance and fell to
the ground, and died about thir-
ty minutes afterward. The funer-
al services were held at the Catho-
lic church last Saturday and he
was buried in Riverside cemetery.
Relatives and friends are heartbro*
ken over the affair. He was a
bright youth and loved by all who
knew him.
