WHEAT ESTIMATE LOWER
Crop Will Aggregate 15,000,000 to
18,000,000 Bushels
Oklahoma’s wheat yield for this
year will aggregate from 15,000,000 to
18,000,000 bushels. This represents a
falling off of approximately 50 per cent
from what the prospects were for a
yield the latter part of May when the
dry weather caused the wheat to loso
the moisture that was so necessary
for the final ripening period. Last
year’s total yield for Oklahoma was
approximately 20,000,000 bushels.
Chinch bugs did little damage to the
wheat, the principal damage having
been due to the drouth, according to
Charles F. Prouty, secretary-treasurer
of the Oklahoma Grain Dealers’ asso-
ciation. Prospects ’ for a bfg yield
were never brighter than a week be-
fore the time for the wheat to ripen,
and the crop harvested does not repre-
sent the highest grade of wheat, he
said.
Fifteen million bushels will be a
good yield, according to D. C. Kolp,
of the firm of E. R, and D. C. Kolp,
grain dealers, who estimate that at
least 10,000,000 bushels were lost be-
cause of the drouth. This also is the
contention of R. H. Conyers, manager
of J. Rosenbaum Grain company, and
of J. J. Stinnett, manager of the Okla-
homa Export company. The wheat
will bring approximately 75 cents a
bushel to the farmers, they contend.
Katy Kicks on Its Taxes
Muskogee.—Alleging the Oklahoma
“tax ferret law” is invalid, because it
is in conflict with both the conatitu-
ton of the United States and of Okla-
homa, the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railroad brought suit In the superior
court which if won will knock out the
law, according to local attorneys. The
suit is brought against W. H. Wain-
wright as treasurer of Muskogee coun-
ty, and asks the court to prohibit the
treasurer from placing on the tax
books $10,000 worth of company prop-
erty in this county.
Baptists Are Asked to Save College
Ash Heap for Grandma.
A certain little fellow loves his
grandmother dearly. The other day,
hearing her talk, perhaps a bit mourn-
fully, of growing old, the child was
much troubled. “Grandma,” he asked,
his baby arms about the beloved neck,
“when you do get old will mamma
throw you out on the ash heap, like
she doea all our old things?”
It Would Seem So.
"What do you consider the most lm-
tmportant event in the history of
Paris?”«asked the obsequious landlord
of the American tourist. “Well,” re-
plied the tourist, who had grown
weary of distributing tips, “so far as
financial prosperity is concerned, I
should say the discovery of America
was the making of this town.”
Contagious.
**’Tis strange,” muttered a young
man, as he staggered home from a
supper party, “how evil communica-
tions corrupt good manners. I’ve been
surrounded by tumblers all the even-
ing. and now I’m a tumbler myself.”
Judgment for $18,000 against the
Oklahoma State Baptist college of

court in favor of the State Life
Insurance company of Missouri, which
holds a mortgage against the Institu-
tion. Unless the Incumbrance is raised
by August 11, the property valued at
$100,000 will be sold at auction by the
sheriff. There are over 80,000 Bap-
tists in the state and they have been
appealed to for the necessary funds
to save the school.
A Young Naturalist.
One afternoon my little sister, aged
four, while sitting looking at our ca-
nary, turned to me and asked: “Sis-
ter, when the canary grows up will it
be a poll parrot?”
8quare Foot and Foot Square.
There is no difference in area be-
tween one square foot and one foot
square, though there may be a differ-
ence in the shape and dimensions of
the surfaces. For instance, one square
fqot may be inclosed by a circular
lin6, a hexagon, a triangle or a rec-
tangle. One foot square is an area
of fixed form, the four sides being
equal and the four angles all right-
angles.
Doubling Human Life.
In 1866 the public health conditions
of New York were in so low a state
that the average length of life of the
inhabitants was 80 years. In 1912
these conditions of life was 66 years.
Thus the value of human life, reck-
oned in terms of time alone, had more
than doubled In less than half a cen-
tury.—Century.
Difference Between Two Words.
The vast difference between the
words "may” and “shall” can be fit-
tingly described by those who have
gone before the parols Shard.
Girls shouldn't marry until they are
old enough to say “yes."

less as a last year's dog license.

Divided His Time.
Ministerial duties and increasing
dignity have not robbed a certain min-
ister of his cherished boyhood ac-
complishment of making fritters. He
frequently exercises this skill at break-
fast time, much to the delight of the
younger members of the family. Edith,
the four-year-old daughter, recently
took tea with a member of the congre-
gation. After the silent grace the
little one, looking at her unmarried,
hostess, remarked with pity:
“You don’t have any one to pray
for you, do you?”
Said one of the ladies present, smil-
ing:
“I suppose your papa prays for you
three times a day.”
"Oh, no, he doesn’t,” was the inno-
cent and earnest answer. “He fries
in the morning and prays in the after-
noon!’
FQUN.O A WAY
To Be Clear of Coffee Troubles.
“Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit, and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such a bad condi-
tion that he was compelled to give up
a good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow', and there didn’t
seem to be an organ in his body that
was not affected.
“I told him I felt Bure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis-
cussion he decided to give it up.
“It was a struggle, because of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try It
and then It was easy to leave off
coffee.
“His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until at last
he was a new man altogether, aB a re-
sult of leaving off coffee and taking up
Postum. Then I began to drink it too.
“Although I was never as bad off as
my husband, I was always very ner-
vous and never at any time very
strong, only weighing 95 lbs. before 1
began to use Postum. Now I weigh
115 lbs. and can do as much work as
anyone my size, I think.”
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for booklet, "The
Road to Wellville.”
Postum comes in two forms.
Regular Postum (must be boiled.)
Instant Postum doesn’t require boil-
ing, hut is prepared Instantly by stir-
ring a level teaspoonful in an ordinary
cup of hot water, which makes it right
for most persons.
A big cup requires more and some
people who like-strong things put in a
heaping spoonful and temper it with a
large supply of cream.
Experiment until you know the
amount that pleases your palate and
have it served that way in the future.
“There’s a Reason” for Postum.
