In the First district Bird McGuire
has an ever increasing lead over the
progressive J. F. Hlckam and in the
Second district Dick T. Morgan is as-
sured of nomination over Ncls Darl-
ing of Oklahoma City.
The returns as they come in only
swell the leads of Scott Ferris in the

Picture of immense push ball which will provide fun for young and old
at the Oklahoma State Fair and Exposition, Oklahoma City, September
24 to October 5, 1912.
One of the interesting features of
the sixth annual Oklahoma State Fair
and Exposition, September 24 to Oc-
tober 5, 1912, will be the polo and
push ball games between the Okla-
homa City Polo Team and the Rock-
wall Ranch Team of Amarillo,

proved to be such a big hit last year
that Secretary I. S. Mahan has again
contracted for exhibitions every
pight of the Horse Show.
Captain Warren Jennings of the
Oklahoma City team, says his hoys
are all good horsemen and have de-
veloped into a rough riding, hard hit-
ting bunch. In a letter from the cap-
tain of the Rockwall team, Mr. Jen-
nings is informed that the Oklahoma
City team will havte to play harder
than ever before to keep from going
down to defeat. »
The ball shown in the illustration
is six feet two inches in diameter
and cost something like $300. It was
bought especially for the games this
fall.
Oklahoma City—Incomplete returns
Thursday night from approximately
40 of the 76 counties of Oklahoma in-
sure the nomination of William H.
Murray of Tishomingo and Joe B.
Thompson of Pauls Valley, on the
democratic ticket for congressman-at-
large, and Claude Weaver of Okla-
homa City, Fred Branson of Musko-
gee, and Leslie Ross of Lawton, are |
leading for third place on the ticket.
If Weaver is given u large vote in
Oklahoma City, his home, it will al-
most insure his nomination.
Before the returns from the larger
cities were available, Weaver, Wil-
liam Franklin of Madill, and J. B. A.
Robertson of Chandler, were in the
lead Thursday in yds arce. But re-
turns from Muskogee, Pittsburg, Pot-
tawatomie and Logan counties swelled
the votes of Branson and Ross so that
they passed the others.
The incomplete vote in 36 of the 76
counties gives Murray 16,860; Thomp-
son 14,870, Weaver 11,114. Branson, 10-
818, Ross 9,244, Frankliii 9.462, J. B. A.
Robertson 7,600, and Robert Echols
5,241. Estimates on other counties
indicate that Murray and Thompson
Open Air College Builds Up Health
Takes Physically Weak Students
From Universities and Makes
Them Well In New. Mex.
"No man has any right to live and
not have behind him some monument
of his love for suffering humanity,”
said Richard W. Lewis, of Cumber-
land, N. M., in telling about the open
air college he lias founded thousands
of feet above sea level in behalf of
students of both sexes who lack both
money and health. Mr. Lewis himself
failed in health several years ago,
but was cured by the air of New Mex-
ico. Thus the idea of helping young
students grew’ out of his own painful
experiences.
“The beauty of our school is,” said
Mr. Lewis, ‘‘that not a college in the
land will be in opposition, but all in
affiliation with us. When a student
fails elsewhere for lack of money or
health, his school will gladly send him
to us, i o that he may get well in oui
wonderful climate while completing
his course. If we only had the room
we could accommodate hundreds
more students. Our climate is ex-
cellent for the cure of hay fever,
asthma, bronchitis and incipient con-
sumption. The actual cash required
is only sixty dollars a year; the re-
maining expenses are paid in service,
students working from one to five
hours a day. We help the student to
help himself.
"The Btudents work out of doors
most of the winter, ploughing, ditching
Belief Deeply Rooted
I had rather believe in fables in the
Talmud and the Koran, than that
this universal frame is without a mind.

Show Devotion to Queen.
Queen Alexandra was very much
touched by the devotion of the wom-
en of every station of life who sold
flowers on Alexandra day for roe of
her pot charities, the hospitals of
London. More than $150,000 was col-
lected, and next year it is said that
all of England will celebrate the
queen mother’s day in the same why.

Illiteracy In Germany.
According to the latest official re-
ports, only three persons out of 10,000
iu Germany are unable to read or
write, while the proportion of Illiter-
acy in Great Britain 1b 160 per 10,000,
as against 770 per 10,000 in the United
States. These figures are based on a
comparison of illiteracy among some
of the leading nations which has JuBt
been made and Issued for free distri-
bution by the UnlUed States Bureau
of Education.

America’s Athletic Missionaries.
Writing under the title in Harper’s
Weekly, Edvard Bayard Moss de-
scribes one athletic triumph at Stock-
holm in the Olympic games. "Some
idea of the caliber of the athletes and
the competition can be gained from
the fact that thirteen new Olympic
and nine world’s records were estab-
lished during the games. The victory
of Arnold Jackson of Oxford In the
1,500-meter run was the only feature
that redeemed Euglaud’s poor dis-
play.”

and irrigating, and when the alfalfa is
cut in the spring and summer it
brings from $10 to $16 per ton, and
from four to six tons per acre. When
our apples are gathered in the fall
they bring from $300 to Sjjl.OOO per
acre. Our students can produce every-
thing they eat and have the very best
food. We have 120 acres of land,
forty of which are devoted to apples
and alfalfa and twenty to small fruits
and vegetables.
"We are somewhat hampered at
present, however, because of limited
quarters. We must get larger accom-
modations. One young man who came
to us recently was one of only two
out of 175 students of-the University
of Kentucky to pass a certain exami-
nation. He was in bad shape. In
three months he gained fifteen pounds.
We have numerous such cases.”

Successful Candidate on Democratic ticket for Congressman at Large.
Locomotives Diet
Young Freddie is a natural student
and observer, and he is especially in-
terested in railway matters. The oth-
1 er day, waiting with his mother in a
train mysteriousy “held up’ as a way-
side station, Freddie pondered: “Mam-
ma, I guess this is whore the engine
gets its dinner. They feed it on coal,
hot water and matches, and I guess
they let it have all the hot air it wants
for desert.”
Thought Worth Remembering
So long as we love we serve. So
long as we are loved by others, I would
almost say we are indispensable; and
no man is useless while he lias a
friend.—Stevenson.
New Thought for the World
Guardians of the poor are not all
Bumbles. They are human beings with
the ordinary warm hearts of English-
men.—London Mail.
Leading to Higher Things
Men and women are created by im-
puting to them noble qualities of which
they are not conscious; and by giving
them responsibility.
Right Men Always on Hand
One of the most striking features of
the present decade is the miraculous
way in which the right people have ap-
peared to meet new needs. Exchange.
Not After Cooking
“To the pure all things are pure.
“Still. I guess they would be a little
doubtful if they saw the pure food at
the hoarding house.”
The Modern Aesop
A dog, who wa3 accustomed to over-
eat, held a piece of meat in his mouth
as he crossed a placid stream by means
of a plank® Looking in, he saw what
he took to be another dog carrying an-
| other piece of meat. Snapping greedily
! to get this as well, he. let go the meat
that he had and lost it in the stream.
As a result his indigestion felt much
better all the rest of the day.—Life.
English “Hunting Parson”
The Rev. Lawrence Capel Cure, rec-
tor of Abbess Rodtng, whose death is
announced was known throughout
West Essex as the “hunting parson.”
He invariably wore the old-fashioned
smock and tall Hat and was a famil-
iar figure at the meets of the Essex
hounds, which he attended regularl}
i though in his seventy-eighth year.—

both are running strong with the oth-
ers divided. Moman i’ruiett was given
a large vote in the larger cities, but
tho returns do not place him among
the leaders. The same is true of J. Y.
Callahan i* the country precincts all
over northern and western Oklahoma.
Weaver has shown the greatest
strength in the Fourth and Fifths con-
gressional districts where he is well
known. He ran for congress at one
time in the Fiftl* district against
Scott Ferris, and was defeated by a
very few vote3. Robertson is show-
ing up best in the central portions of
the state, and is getting lots of votes
from the remote districts. Branson
will lead in most of the counties in
northeastern Oklahoma, while Frank-
lin is one of the high men in the
southern regions. Echols leads in all
•western counties. Farmers all over
the state are showing their friend-
ship for J. Y. Callahan by giving their
support to him.
Of the republican candidates, B. M.
Parmenter, of Lawton, leads in the
race for United States senator, with
Dynamite Ed Perry running strong in
the insurgent sections. E J. Dicker-
son also is getting a good vote iu the
northern and western sections

HOW MANY OF U8
Fall to Select Food Nature Demands
to Ward Off Ailments?
A Ky. lady, speaking about food,
says: “i was accustomed to eating
all kinds of ordinary food until, for
some reason, indigestion and nervous
prostration set in.
“After I had run down seriously
my attention was called to the neces-
sity of some change in my diet, and
I discontinued my ordinary breakfast
and began using Grape-Nuts with a
good quantity of rich cream.
“In a few dayB my condition
changed in a remarkable way, and I
began to have a strength that I had
never been possessed of before, a
vigor of body and a poise of mind that
amazed me. It was entirely new in
my experience.
“My former attacks of indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many times my condition was dis-
tressing with blind spells of dizziness,
rush of blood to the head and neural-
gic pains in the chest.
“Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast I have been free from these
troubles, except at times when I have
indulged in rich, greasy foods in quan-
tity, then I would be warned by a
pain under the left shoulder blade, and
unless I heeded the warning the old
trouble would come back, but when I
finally got to know where these trou-
bles originated I returned to my Grape-
Nuts and cream and the pain and dis-
turbance left very quickly.
“I am now in prime health as a
result of my use of Grape-Nuts." Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich. \
‘‘There’s a reason,” and it is ex-
plained in the little book, “The Road
to Wellville,” in pkgs.
