Sermons on "Unbelief."
In these days when scepticism
and unbelief is so rife, it is cer-
tainly time that something was
done to check if possible the flow
of public opinion. The Rev. T.
W. Bucklee has decided to give
three discourses on the subject of
'"Unbelief" at the next three
services held by him in the Mason-
ic hall on the following dates:
September 10 at 8 p. m., subject,
"The Origin of Unbelief.'' Sun-
day morning, September 21, 11 a.
m., "The Results of Unbelief,''
and on Monday evening, Septem-
ber 29, 8 p. m., "The Remedies
for Unbelief." No one should
lose the opportunity of hearing
him on this subject. Every one is
cordially invited to attend these
and other services conducted by
the Episcopal church.

Back From Mexico.
Tom Aycock and Roy Jarboe
returned last week from a hike to
Old Mexico, where they went to
investigate conditions along the
border resulting from the revolu-
tion, and incidentally to start a
search for the Justice Club, which
is reported to have fallen into the
hands of a band of Mexican senor-
itas, and whose wives are very
much alarmed. A portion of the
bovs' journey was made on "the
cushions;" while part of it was
made where the conductor over-
looked them; but they got Jthere,
just the same, invaded Juarez,
sampled all the Mexican dishes,
found the Justice Club thriving on
a muscale diet and returned home
without visiting Senor Huerta.

BELD MEETING
Condition of Country ind Crop#
Wm Discussed Frooljr and
Plant Wore Outlined.
A called meeting of the Jackson
County Agricultural Association
was held in the district court room
at Altus on Thursday August 28th.
for the purpose off a conference on
the general agricultural and finan-
cial situation of the county, and to
discuss any practical means of re-
lief. The general condition' of the
county, and various means of bet-
tering it, were discussed freely by
those present, but on account of
everal sections of the county not
being represented, no definite ac-
tion was taken.
•'rom reports compiled by Mr.
B. M. Jackson, federal farm de-
monstration agent, it appears that
there are some fields of cotton in
the county, where special care was
given to early preparation of the
ground, that have withstood the
drouth and will make from one-
(fourth to one-half bale per acre;
but the county as a whole will not
make more than IS per cent of an
average crop. Some of the farm-
ers have raised suficient feed to
care for their stock, and a few who
had the foresight and ability to
hold over a supply from last year's
crop are" in good condition, but that
there is not sufficient feed in the
county to feed the livestock until
another crop is raised.
A large part of the livestock and
farm assets are mortgaged, but not
as heavily as in 1911. The prob-
lems confronting the community
are the relief of those who are lia-
ble to become destitute from total
crop failure; the prevention of
wholesale foreclosure and sacrifice
of the livestock and farm assets,
and the devising of some means of
feeding and keeping the present
supoly of livestock in the county
both for work and stock purposes.
There was a free exchange of
opinions on these matters. The
bankers present expressed the
opinion that the condition of the
banks of the county was such as to
enable them to meet all reasonable
demands, and that when any cred-
itor with reasonable collateral, and
more especially if he was located
for next year and showed a deter-
mination to stay, could get proper
extension cd his obligations. That
wholesale foreclosure was not de-
sirable and not necessary, that
there should be a closer relation
between the debtor and creditor,
and a fuller realization that each
depends on the other and injury to
either was injury to both, That a
borrower's credit depends quite as
much on arrangements and deter-
mination to stay as it does on what
he owns.
The question of relief of the
more unfortunate by an issue of
road improvement bonds was dis-
cussed, but action deferred until
the people were better informed
on the question, the sentiment of
the meeting was divided as to the
feasibility of the proposition.
If seasonable fall rains come,
the feed problem could be in a
large measure solved by the sow-
ing of 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
worth all it cost if the wheat never
came up. With a small outlay of
twelve to twenty dollars, twenty-
five to forty acres of wheat could
be sown, a.id if this were general
over the county there would be a
good chance of holding the live-
stock over the winter and have an
early money crop next year.
While all admit the seriousness
of the situation, it is not a time to
get panicky or make an inconsid-
erate move to a place that might
be worse. We cannot judge a
country by one year, but must con-
sider the average, when it will be
ueen that Jackson county ranks
among the best. Make a firm res-
olution to stick, start to work now
with your mind on next year.
When the mental attitude and un-
rest is overcome, the other prases
of the case can be easily handled.

"Ob, Mary, go and call th« cattle
home,
And call tba cattle home,
And call the cuttle borne,
Across the sands o' Dee!"

And nil nlone went ahe.
The creeping tide came up along

And o'er und o'er the wand.
And round and round the

Ah fur aa eye could see.
The blinding ml»t came down

And never borne came she.
"Oh. Is It weed or flsh or floating

A tress o' golden hair,
A drowned maiden's half-
Above the nets at sea?
Was never salmon yet that

Among the stakes on Dee?"
They rowed her tn across the

The cruel, crawling foam.
The cruel, hungry foam-
To ber grave beside the sea,
But still tlie boatmen hear her
call the cattle home
Across the sands o' Dee.

Judge Frank Mathews Here.
District Judge Frank Mathews,
from Altus, was here Monday
greeting his old time friends.
Judge Mathews wan for several
years a resident of Mangum and
has many warm personal friends
here, who are always glad to see
him. It might not be amiss here
to state that he is being groomed
by some of his friends iu Harmon
county as a candidate for con-
gress from this district. Last
week's Hollis Post-Herald con-
tained an article urging him to
make the race.—Mangum Star.

No End of Good Reasons
t NLESS you buy carelessly, these
are a few of the features that will
lead you to the I H C line when you
buy a hay press. I H C presses are
provided with self-feeders, elimi-
nating dangerous foot-feeding and increasing
capacity by even operation; the bale chamber
is of just the right height to permit convenient
tying of the bales; the bale tension and roller
tucker make for uniform, compact and attrao
tive bales; the toggle joint plunger is the most
powerful and simple compressing device ever
used on a hay press—though producing great*
est pressure, it requires least power to operate.
IH C Hay Prom
cannot be surpassed in convenience, durability,
simplicity, and economy of operation. They
will put your loose hay into neat, compact
bundles, occupying but one-fifth the former
space, increasing your available barn room,
and making it possible to sell your hay in **'t-
tant localities at the highest market prices.
