Cleanup day i now fixed for March
in.
Wo don't sen why the legislators
hi ould worry over the bill that Is loat
nm-yed or stolen. They have plenty
left to keep them busy all ouwrtf.
Senator HarefooJ and Reprewenta-
then Glover and Prey are to be con-
cr.ituiated on the final success of their
eforts in putting the dormitory bill
through.
The astute Washington correspon-
dents have caught onto the fact that
Mr. Taft la' wearing a red tie and are
heating the wires with thin momen-
tous piece of news.
o
A pair of lads at Oklahoma City are
in trouble becautte they tried to "act
out" a detective story. The name
thirfi has happened over and over
again. Do you know what your boy
in reading?
Also excitement runs pretty high
at Iawton. A big capitalist remarked
'mnybe I'll erect a aix-stor bu'ldirtg
here within the next two years." The
News story was nearly half a coluirn
long and had a tour-sury head.
At Et Id they propose to vote bondi?
In order to raise money to prospect
lor oil and gas. Inasmuch as the en-
terprise is intended to benefit the en-
tire community it Is figured that the
public should bear the expense of it.
The peiulemen who are still In the
Kinds of their friend have but a few
more days in which to get into tUe
game for the city primary. We still
have some choice announcements for
hiet of jKilice and the other good Jobs
at the astonishingly low price of. $2.."0
per aldernianac announcements free
while they last.
o
We note that Thomas Dixon the fa-
mous preacher-author Is billed to ap-
pear in his latest play at Altua a town
about one-half the size of Chickasha.
Tho reason is that Altua has Just com-
pleted a handsome modern theater.
A.yaln we rise to inquire how long
Chit kasha Is to be content to do with-
out this necessary feature of an up-to-date
town.
Direct election of senators was kill-
ed for the time by the vote In the sen-
ate Tuesday but It will come again.
Tho enemies of the measure loaded
It up with the obnoxious Sutherland
nmendment which many southern sen-
ators declined to swallow. It is an
old trick of the legislative game but
It will not head off the progressives in
their hattle for this important reform.
o
Democrats should select none but
the best material for city offices In
the primary to be held March 21. If
we want to make sure of victory we
rr.ust put up as good or better men
Kian the other fellow. There are too
n-unv independent voters to make a
party nomination a passport to office.
Vast experience in Chickasha and in
every other city has demonstrated
this fact.
o
Americans are said to be scrouglng
for places in the coronation proceed-
ings next June when King Ceorge is
tf have his official headpiece ceremon-
ially established says the Dallas
Xews. Our countrymen do not expect
to have any of the first honors like
carrying the King's coattails or stand-
ing guard over the Queen's tucking
comb but they are anxious to pick up
little crumbs of dignity such as lead-
ing a horse in the procession or greas-
ing the royal carriage wheels.
o -
And moreover a town is mighty for-
tunate in having a citizen like John
MrCalla who did such effective work
the other day in behalf of the dormi-
tory bill it may not be generally
known that MeCalhi won his spurs as
n Chickasha booster several months
before he became a citizen of this
town. He was a representative from
Love county when (he bill locating the
1 I C. here was pending and his In-
fluence was one of the decided factors
that brought tho school here.

If Gov. Cruoe don't sign the dormi-
tory bill he will be expelled from the
honorable order of Chickasha boost-
era Ho should consider the matter
well before taking a step that would
lead to this sort of disaster. We havo
warned him let him have a fare.
INCREASE THE FARM YIELD.
Within thehst year there has de-
veloped a movement that may be re-
garded as the basis for genuine opti-
mum in looking to the future. It is
the "better farming" movement. The
buy of the farm Is today developing
a greater appreciation of the dignity
of farming as a profession and thou-
sands of people now reridlng in cities
ftre studying farming with a view of
ultimately removing to the country.
Ac. increasing dumber of students
at the agricultural colleges are from
the cities and tows. Farmers them-
selves in many of the states are tak-
ing up the short term scientific
courses with a view of making the
farm and causing it to yield returns
that will make possible the comforts
and co.ueniencee that render farm
li;"o the most independent and most
comfortable there is.
It is a "hack to the farm" move-
ment that we are looking upon. And
the United States government
through its reclamation service is pro-
long more land while the depart-
ment of agriculture the state" n their
experiment stations the railroads vlth
their lecture cars are all aiding the
move.tient.
lint more important than this "back-
to the farm" propoganda. is the move-
ment looking to greater production
from the acre more intensive and
mere scientific farming. "We shall
have to double Our grain production
within the next half centudy" says a
writer in the Kansas Industrialist who
adds that this may be done hot only
by belter soil culture more systemat-
ic crop rotation and better utilization
o fertilizers but by the planting of
better seed.
' This doubling of 'the yield per acre
is no impossibility. The average yield
of rotatoes in the United States is
only bushels per acre and if the
fii'mer obtains ?M or V0 bushels per
acre It is considered a sensational
yield. In England and Germany the
!eh! runs up to 1000 bushels per acre
a-id in contested Hellum where the
population averages 500 to the square
mile iwtato production has reached
l.fitu) bushels to the acre. In the Un-
ite I States wheat production averages
1" bushels to the acre while in En?-
Inmi it is 34 bushels per acre. Other
crops are proportionally larger in Eu-
rope. Would not the increased profits
make it worth while for our farmers
to give their attention to intensive
scientific careful farming? That Is
the belief of those who are promoting
those campaigns for a more thorough
stady of the scientific principles of
farming better seed selection soil
analysis and other phases of the in-
dustry that are calculated to bring
greater returns if understood and exe-
ccted. Such is the motive of the Oklahoma
Cotton Seed Crushers' association in
offering prizes and co-operating with
the United States department of ag-
riculture In promoting seed selection
for the improvement in both qual-
ity and quantity of Oklahoma cotton.
No little interest has already been
aroused by this campaign. The state
is to have boys' cotton clubs Just as
It lias its boys' corn clubs the result
of which have been so satisfactory in
promoting bettter seed selection by
the farmers. Carried on for a year or
two this plan will result in a bale to
the aero production of cotton in Okla
homa. That will represent economy
in labor and expense In relation to
production and it will fatten the pock
etbooks of Oklahoma farmers
This campaign to produce the pres
ent yield per acre in Oklahoma should
receive the active tupport of all pro-
gressive citizens. It is more import-
ant than our political campaigns. It
n ukes for prosperity. Oklahoman.
THEM'S OUR SENTIMENTS. TOO.
The Sapulpa Light says:
"A fierce war is waging between the
Herald and the Democrat the two
Okmul?ee dailies iind nlowly but unru-
ly the Okmulgee reading public la
: leiirnlnsr to accept boil papers at the
i valuation each places upon the other.
in course' of time our Okmulgo broth-
era will learn that nothing Is more
foolifih than a public demonntration
dl iil feeling between rival publishers.
Tlia public wauta t he news and not
Blander. The I.ltUH realizes thla and
wii' continue in the straight and nar
row path ' refusing to reply to tht
querulous criticinniB of its childish
competition!." .
Leipzig Publishing Center
I .el prig U the largest publication
center lu the world. More boirns and
periodical are printed there than
l.r.wbere else and more people are
engaged in making and using printers'
nupplies than lu London New York
Berlin or Paris. Out of a total of
307 IS books that were published In
the German empire laet year 11219
were printed and Issued in Leipzig
ar.d 371:3 music books and pieces of
fheet muHlc. Many of the orders
come from England France Austria
uid other countries because the me-
cDHiiical work can be done in Leipzig
much cheaper thn elsewhere. More
than half of the transactions in books
t he place at the Leipzig book fair.
hk'h occurs every year at the Jubi-
late the first week in Easter when
booksellers and publishers from all
parts of Germany assemble to coin-
para and balance accounts and to
make contracts for the next year.
Money Speaks.
1 Somerset Maugham the popular
English playwright was shown by
a leporter during his recent visit to
New York a rather harsh criticism
of his work. '
Mr. Maugham with a smile took
out his pocketbook and began to read
off to the reporter the "runs" of hie
various plays:
'"Mrs. Dot" 421 nights; 'Smith"
217 nights; 'Penelope' 399 nights."
Sovhe read on till he had com-
pleted the long list of his successes.
Then he said:
"When the author of this article
has . written plays with runs like
those. I'll belle? his criticism. Till
then I prefer to believe in the pub-
lic and the box office. This isn't a
question of words; it's a question of
figures."
Picture Rapidly Passing.
In an article dealing with the mural
paintings in Westminster palace M.
H. Spiebsann in the Graphic draws
attention to the sad conclusion of
some of the older pictures at St. Ste-
phen's. Several of them including
"The Spirit of Religion" by W. . C.
Horsier R. A. and "The Baptism of
Ethelbert" by W. Dyce TL A are
practically Invisible by day the flesh
has all disappeared and such is their
condition that the last time be ex-
amined them be was told 'She color
comes off on your band." Not much
better is the case of Daniel Macllae's
"Meeting of Wellington and P.lucher
After Waterloo" which was oute
most injudiciously washed when color
came off with the dtrt.; London
Globe.
Gloves and the Man.
There Is not a more desolate thing
on earth one wodM imagine than the
masculine right-hand glove if inani-
mate objects could but think and Buf-
fer. Every man will pot on the left-
hand glove but keep his right band
free to grapple with col tut- and um-
brellas and the intricacies of life.
Away goes the right-hand glove Into
the pocket or the drawer. And while
thousands of left hand glove are
worn and loved equal thousands of
rleht hand gloves are cast tnto outer
ilarknes. .What becomes of them?
What man wants the right-band glove?
And bless nie! why should I pay for
a pair of glovue when I want only one.
In mercy to me and the glove they
should sell them In single tons.
Her Recommendation.
Richard Carle the actor lately en-
gaged as cook a Swediflh glmtess who
proved unsatisfactory. On departure
he asked for a written testimonial
and Mr. Carle presented her with the
following: "To whom it may concern:
I have bitely had in my employ Hulda
Swanson who was engaged to cook
for a family of three and do such
things as would be possible when not
cooking. Under this head might come
j little dusting and dishwashing and
unswering the doorbell. Taking these
hlngs into account 1 wish to Bay that
Hulda Is absolutely the tallest cook
I ever sow."
Origin of the Word -Quaker."
A London writer' says that the
lame Quaker "sprang from the lipa
irf a local Justice Shallow." This maa
was one Bennett of Derby. The name
u gibe at George Fox. who onoe
declared in Justice's conn that all
ought to "quake" at heexinar the name
of God. The Society-of Friends orig-
.nally called themaeUoe Seekers a
more beautiful and akio more obvious
but much leos picturesque term.
To Practice On.
"Didn't time bang herily on yoor
hands?" I eafced the phrenologist who
bad been caal upon an uninhabited
Island wbere. I thought be Imd hsd
no opportunity to xme bis Btudlea.
"Oh. ito" be eaiawered. "I found a
