OWEN IS OUT OF
RACE FOR U. S. LrlATE
Senator Will Retire at End of This Session and Reti .'n
To Private Life. Resignation Leaves Field Open
For Big Political Battle for His Place.
From the Oklahoman.
Robert L. Owen of Muskogee,
United States senator from Okla-
homa since 1907, will not he a
i candidate for re-nomination at
the Autiuxt primary election.
His announcement to this ef-
fect was made in a letter received
| Satur day by Governor Trapp and
came a3 the biggest political
surprise of the year.
In his letter to the governor,
Owen says that a desire to be
fair with the people "impels me
to advise them in due season of
my decision to retire from public
service with this congress."
The present congress will expire
March 4, 1925.
This gives the senator a little
over a year to serve but it would
not be surprising if he resigned
after the November election. No
intimation is given by the sena-
tor as to the reason whicd im-
pelled him to announce his refus-
al to be a candidate.
The retirement of Owen from
the mce for the senatorial nom-
ination is expected to precipitate I
one of the hottest political bat- j
ties in the history of the state.

Timely Warning to
Disabled Veterans
Disabled veterans of the recent World War
are warned by General Frank f. Hines, director
of the United States Veterans Bureau, to pre-
sent their claims for compensation immediately,
as the time limit will soon expire.
The War Risk Insurance Act specifically
states:
"That no compensation1 shall be payable
unless a claim therofor shall be filed, in case of
disability, within five years after discharge or
resiuna-ion from the service, or, in case of death
is officially recorded in the department under
which lie may be serving: Provided, however.
That where compensation is payable for death
or disability occurring after discharge or resig-
nation from the service, claim must be made
within five years after such death or the begin-
ning of such disability.
"Tne time herein provided may be extended
by the director not to exceed one yeor for good
cause .shown. If at the time that any right ac-
crues lo any person under the provisions of this
article, such person is a minor, or is of unsaund
mind or physically unable to make a claim, the
time herein provided shall begin to run until
such disability ceases."
As most of the no n wete discharged in
191!', -his will be the last year that many of
f em <• n legally tile claim excepting in extreme
>\ here the appeal must bel'sent to central
< llic' in Washington and the director allows the
additional year.
March 1, 1924,
as the production of cotton under
boll weevil conditions is said to
be nothing more than a race
between th-j setting of bolls on
the plan: and the multiplication
of the weevils, and everything
possible should be done to aid
the cotton plants in winning
this race.
