The dawn of the f ourth — the old annual story -
The nervous mans dread and the small boys glory.
The east ts yet gray when ell the land rumbles.
And the small cannon pops and the big cannon grumbles,
And the torrid sun creeps through a blue haze of powder.
And the torpedoes snap and the cannons boom lo-jder-
On the Fourth of July—
The old-fashioned Fourth of July.

The total amount of subscrip
tions was $797; cash collections
were $666.00 leaving cards at the
banks for collection to the amount
of $131.00.
To the local committee who
worked so hard on this campaign
is due great credit for the amount
they secured. While the amount
received was not as large as might
have been hoped for, Crescent
made the best showing of any of
the Logan county districts in
amount of cash collected, which
speaks pretty well.
Telephone Germs
Eight different kinds of germs,
two of t hem very dangerous, were
found on telephone receivers in
Leavenworth, Kansas, and Law
rence in an investigation made by
Miss Minnie E. Moody in class
work she is doing as a student in
the University of Kansas. Miss
Moody swabbed out the receive
of a telephone in a Leavenworth
drug store and dropped the cot-
ton swab into a glass tube con
taining several teaspoons of beef
broth. She did the same thing
with a telephone in a Lawrence
drug store and with a public tele
phone in one of the main buildings
of the University. The cotton
swabs, broth and tubes used were
sterile, so all the germs developed
are known to have come from the
telephone receivers.
From each tube a drop of broth
was taken. These were incubated
twenty four hours. At the end of
that time 240 germs were counted
in the drop injected from the Uni
versity telephone, and 430 from
the Leavenworth telephone.
Among five practically harmless
types of bacteria on the Lniver
sity telephone receiver tuberculo
sis and catarrhal germs were def
initely defined, while on the Leav
enworth drug store telephone re
ceiver, diphtheria was found
Neither tuberculosis or diphtheria
germs were found on the Law-
rence drug store telephone. The
drug store telephone carried more
germs because they were exposed,
while the University telephone
was in a booth. In her class re-
port of her investigation Miss
Moody suggested sterilizing of tel-
ephone receivers.
At the time of harvest, wheat
I showed a condition of 68 per cent.
This is an increase of 7 per cent
over the condition of same date
in 1916. From reports received
from our crop correspondents, we
estimate the average yield of the
total acreage planted at 9.5 bush-
per acre. Estimating the tot-
yield for the State, based on
■ above figures, Oklahoma*'
wheat crop will produce 27,113f
000 bushels. Up to the 25t,h of
une 84 per cent of the wheat had
jeen harvested.
Oats showed a condition of 69
per cent at the time of harvest.
This is 13 per cent above the con-
dition of same date last year. The
average, yield per acre of this
. ears' crop is 25.5 bushels, accord-
ing to estimates received from our
crop correspondents. This assures
)klahoma of a crop of 24,435,000
bushels. Up to the 25th of June
77 per cent of the total crop had
jeen harvested. The counties
ihowing the best yield per acre of
wheat and oats are the oneslocat-
in the northeast part of the
State.
Com shows a condition of 75
per cent. This is 3 per cent below
the condition of last month and 11
jelow the condition of same date
one year ago.
Cotton shows a condition of 71
per cent. This is 10 per cent be-
low the condition of same date last
year. Weather conditions have
been unfavorable to the growth of
cotton, and we have received
numerous reports stating that in
many places cotton had been re-
planted on account of insufficient
moisture and various other causes.
Conditions of other crops areas
follows: Kaffir 74 per cent, Milo
4 per cent, Sorghum 76 per cent,
Broom Corn 75 per cent, and Al-
falfa 73 per cent. The condition
>f the soil is 60 per cent of what
it should be. This is 11 per cent
below the condition of last month.

A Child Drowns
The little two-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Weldon
who live between Lovell and Mar.
shall, fell into a water tank and
was drowned, last Wednesday.
There was only eleven inches of
water in the tank, but the little
one could not crawl out, and it is
believed that she had been sub-
merged for at least an hour,, Fun-
jral services were held Thursday
afternoon at the home, conducted
by Rev. Hobbs, of Marshall. The
bereaved parents have the sym-
pathy of a large number of friends
in the entire countryside.
