to understand that this is an op.

upon this subject that comeB'in
their way very seldom, and pro-

That the farmers have be-

by the large number of silos
that have been erected during

make a personal report as to the
work being done by Miss Smith.
A short trip which Mr. Jeffords
made in the field with Miss Smith
resulted in a new departure for
tne forthcoming Rock Island silo
demonstrator train. Arrange-
ments were made for additional
cars, which the company will at-
tach to that train on which will

opening of a position which he
preferred to that at the land of-

Tuesday it was announced that
Judge Jesse Dunn had resigned
his place on the supreme bench,
and would permanently reside in
California. The next step in the
program which Mr. Hendrix
hopes to see carried out would be
the appointment of Judge G. A.

supreme bench, and it is under-

regard to the feed stuff to be put

fill them, and then how to secure
the best results in faeding silage.
As has been explained before,
there will be with this train a
number of gentlemen who have
had extensive practical experi-
ence, and they will tell the far-
mers all about it, thus prevent-

farmers means money.

Miss Catherine Smith, the
government canning demon-
strator for Logan county, closed
a big week among the girl’s can-
ning clubs of Logan county Sat-

has been holding a demonstration

member of a club, where there
could be gathered together a
large number of fellow members
from the surrounding commun-

upon non resident property or
that occupied by some of the few
citizens who have that tired feel-
ing. If some way could only be
devised by which the city could
have the weeds cut upon non
resident property, and the cost
taxed to the property, things
would be in a pretty fair condi-
tion in Sayre.
John C. MacKenzie spent
Thursday last at Guthrie, Okla-
homa, on business.
John Fourier, of Sweetwater,
was among those transacting
prescribed. In other cases
tranches have been bug and the
water allowed to run into the
varden, this being done because
they were requested to refrain
from “sprindling”—so they at-
tempt to dodge.
The plain fact is that there
has been a whole lot of “dodg-
ing,” of one class and another.
Where water patrons did observe
the one hour limit, in many cases
the nozzle was removed from the
hose in the effort to get all the
water possible within the hour,
and now the people are kicking
because their water bill is h'gh.
It certa'nly is a pleasant job
to be a city official. Let us stop
for a mement and do a little
thinking. Fifteen months ago
we were all doing our best to try
and figure out how the city was
going to be able to keep its
“nozeabove water.” The city
itself was bankrupt, and the
ight and water department was
running the city further in the
hole every month. Tjty em-
ployes were clamoring for wages
which had remained unpaid for
for months, while city official, of ,hj
were devising means to trv and • j ty’ s llke^

The trouble is that the mei
who do the most yelling in timet
like the present are the most un
willing to devote a little of theii
time and energy to a public en-
terprize, and it is now aboul
time that they either went back
and shut up, or pulled off theii
coats and went out and demon
strated to the people at large
that they have the ability to do
better than the men they are
criticizing. It is mighty easy to
get out on the street corner and
kick, but once they undert ke it
they will find that it is something
of a job to improve upon the
work of the present city officials.
