00 a whole will not make more
than 16 per cent of an average
crap. Some farmere have enough
food for their stock, and a few
have some of their loot ycar'o
feed crop, but this it not enough
to lost till another crop Is grown.
A major portion pf the livestock
end form-assets are mortgaged.
80 the problem is to find relief
for those who may become desti-
tute from total crop failure, to
prevent wholesale foreclosures
and sacrifices of livestock and
farm assets, and to find some
means of feeding and keeping
the present supply of livestock
in the county, both for work and
stock purposes.
The bankers of Altus think
that the banks of the county
could meet all reasonable de-
mands, especially if the custom-
er showed a determination to
stay and was located for next
year. Wholesale foreclosure is
not desirable nor necessary, and
there should be a closer relation-
ship between debtor and credit-
or, a fuller realization that one
depends upon the other, and in-
jury to either is injury to both.

Last Monday morning there

who , ia also aasistant deputy
county clerk, a lovelorn pair who
beaought the franchise of a mar-
riage license, that they might
weld their young lives in thoee
indissoluble bonds which only
death may sever. B^ing accom-
modated in this request, they
next invited his honor to still
further exercise the functions
of his office by pronouncing the
blissful words which would con-
summate their happiness. This
Mayor Henderson did in his
usual impress-.ve and happy
manner, and sent them on their
way rejoicing. They departed
that afternoon on a honeymoon
trip around the world, or down
in Texas, or back to Beaver

If seasonable fall rains come
the feed problem could be par-
tially solved by sowing fall
wheat. This could be done at
an expense of about fifty cents
an acre for seed, and the work
on the ground would be profita-
ble if the wheat never came up.
With an outlay of from $12.00 to
$20.00 twenty-five to forty acre
of wheat could be sown, and if
this were general there would be
a chance of holding livestock
over the winter and have an ear-
ly money crop next year.
The convention closed with
this appeal:
