-If an eastern man were to visit
the farm of Commissioner J, H.
Huntington, two miles west of Man-
chester, and be told that four years
ago last March there was not a tree
or a stick of anything there beyond a
wire fence and the plowed land, he
would be slow to believe it, It is a
fact, however, and to know the place
four years ago and see it now but
tells of the wonders of the produc-
tiveness of Oklahoma soil when prop-
erly handled. Mr. Huntington has
trees of almost every descrspticn
growing, and they look to be eight or
ten years old instead of only four.
His apple, peach and pear trees are
simply fine, but the thing that took
our eye most the other day when
there was the blackberries and ras-
berrles, loaded with fruit and looking
as fine as we ever saw them in any of
the older states. A small plot of
ground sown to timothy shows what
the land will do in the tame grass
line, while another sown to alfalfa a
year ago last fall has yielded a ton per
acre at every cutting since. His soil,
of course, is second to none in the
country, and he knows how to
handle it.
—We attended the ball games at
Anthony the last four days of last
week, when Anthony players won
every game but one, and that was a
mere "scratch” on the part of the
Wichita White Socks, who never
made a score until the last inning,
when the Anthony boys got "off” and
Wichita ran in six scores after they
had two men down. It was certainly
an exciting finish, and although the
Anthony people naturally hated to
see the game lost to their home team,
many of them could not help cheering
at the result. Anthony has a good
nine and there will be a good game
played there with the Harper team
at the celebration to be held at Anth-
ony on Monday, July 5.
-The family of O. D, Pickens,
deseased, reqests us to publicly thank
those who lent their kindly aid and
assistance in his sickness, death and
burial.
Mrs. Jim Burlingame of monon
Colorado returned to Manchester
Wednesday of this week.
--It’s getting to be a common thing
to see a few stalks of timothy, blue
grass and clover growing in this
country, started, doubtless from a
little seed that has been dropped by
chance here and there over the
country, and in some cases the seed
has been sown to see what It will do.
On the west side of the Bock Island
Lumber Co. in the edge of the street
in Manchester there is timothy
headed out. It is not very tail and
the heads are only about four Inches
long, but it did well growing among
other grass and weeds where the
ground is as hard as a board. Blue
grass Is spreading wherever sown—
likewise clover—and it need not
be many years until our native
prairie grasses will be a thing of the
past in this country if the farmers
will only turn their attention more to
the growing of tame grasses. We
saw one field of timothy about 25
miles northeast of Manchester some
time ago that was as fine as ever
grew in any country, and on Sunday
lastJ. H. Huntington showed us a
small patch of timothy on his farm
west of town which convinces us ttiat
it will grow here if given a chance.
The Journal does not claim to know
anything about the method of pre-
paring land and seeding either timo-
thy, clover or blue grass, but would
recommend that every farmer in the
country hunt up some man who does
and then sow a small plot of ground
this summer or fall.
—The growing corn is in idea
condition for making a bumper crop.!
Never in the history of the country
was the acreage so great as it is this
year, and never before was the corn
better tended. We have had only a
small amount of rainfall since spring
set in, but enough to make vegetation
of all kind spring up amazingly.
Many fields of corn now are higher
than a horse's back, and the tassles
are not yet commencing to show
themselves. A fair amount of rain-
fall for the next thirty or forty days
will produce the greatest crop'of corn
ever known in this part of the
country. The only thing that th \
Journal has to regret is that it only
has 125 acres of growing corn, but it
Is second to none other in the country
—Floyd Miller was down from An-
thony over Sunday, visiting his
mother, Mrs. McAdams.
—Mrs Ethel Crooker of Anthony
was here over Sunday on a visit to
her aunt, Mrs. J. W. Smith and other
relatives.

AUTO REPAIR WORK.
I have opened an auto repair gar-
age in Manchaster for repairing all
kinds of automobiles, and will take
pleasure in doing your work in good
shape and at very reasonable prices
I have had considerable experience

tools already on hand with which to

Later on it is my intention to open
an up-to-date garage in Manchester,

handled at the Rock Island Lumber

editor of this paper arived from
Attica Tuesday and has started in to
learn the printing trade in this office,
lie is well edeucated unpretentious
and unassuming young man and ought
to make it to the front in the print-
ing business in double quick order,
and the Intention is to let him work

The Journal has a lot of the prettiest
dishes that ever came to Manchester that it
is going to give away, absolutely free.
To get these souvenir dishes all you have
to do is too hustle a new subscriber for the
Journal, or pay your own subscription to
date and a year ahead. This will entitle
you to one of the souvenir dishes, something
that any lady would be proud to add to
her collection of pretty dishes
Our next offer is a lot ofVenitian art plates,
as pretty designs as you ever saw, any of which
cost you $2.50 to 3.00 each at any china store.
Secure three new subscribers for the Journal or
three old ones paid to date and a year ahead,
and you can have any dish in the lot.
To secure these dishes, the subscriber must
live in Grant or Alfalfa counties in Oklahoma, or
Harper County, Kansas. Payment for subscrip-
tion must also be made cash in advance.
Any girl or lady can add to collection of pretty
dishes by a very small effort on her part, and if
she will take the trouble to do a little extra hust-
ling she can secure several of these dishes.
The proposition
disposed of.
holds until all the dishes are
