The greatest government in
the world expends $25,000,000 a
year to help the farmers of the
nation.- Through the national
board of agriculture bulletins are
issued to aid encourage and in-
form the men who till the soil.
Experts are engaged in pre-
paring the bulletins, and every
farmer in the United States can
secure the bulletins. They are
free and are sent to the rural
letter box of every farmer who
will ask for them. All phases of
country life are considered in the
agricultural bulletins. Cooking
is one of the prominent subjects
treated in print by the depart-
ment of agriculture and all farm-
ers who wish to obtain the best
food have it prepared in the best
way and in the most economical
manner should take advantage
of the free information which
the government spends huge
sums to assemble.
Other leading subjects given
consideration in the bulletins are
the home vegetable garden, poul-
try management, the raising of
horses, cattle, sheep and hogs,
the canning of vegetables in the
home and the development of al-
falfa, peanut and other forage
crops.
One of the most important
crops for Oklahoma is Bermuda
culture is anurous to place this
literature in the hands of the
farmers of Oklahoma. A postal
Card will bring the bulletins free
of cost.—Oklahoman.

Senator Campbell Russell,
president of the People’s Power
league, filed a formal protest
with State Auditor Leo Meyer
Saturday against the payment of
salary vouchers to the sixteen
chief employees of the state
board of agriculture. In his
letter to the auditor he says that
it is important that the state
treasury and the people of Okla-
“be protected from the other
branch of the “late lamented (?)
board.”
Senator Russell’s action fol-
lows another shake-up in the de-
partment of agriculture, in
which President G. T. Bryan
took occasion to reverse the re-
cent action of the old board of
agriculture in dismissing certain
employees. Those who were
dismissed President Bryan put
back to work, and discharged
others who had been appointed.
He based his authority upon an
opinion of Attorney General
West that the old board of agri-
culture ceased to exist after
November 5.
The several employees of the
____________ _________board who have been most often
grass and this marvelous plant is discharged and hired again are
given attention ' by the depart-
ment of agriculture in special
bulletins. Also the government
pays a man to stay in Oklahoma
to tell the farmers about Ber-
muda grass and to distribute the
bulletins which are issued at
government printing offices.
Every farmer of Oklahoma
who wishes these bulletins
should write to F. A. Mitchell at
Chandler and make a request for
same. The department of Agri-
becoming somewhat bewildered.
One day they hold a job, next
day they have none; then the
third day they find themselves
back on the job again, and al-
ways fired by some unexpected
somebody and hired by someone
they had not supposed had the
authority.
Senator Russell’s letter is as
follows:

COMBINING SCHOOL AND BUSINESS.
where the temptation to boys
and girls is strong to leave
school and earn a living. The
plan makes it possible for boys
and girls to earn money, remain
in school, and also make them-
selves more efficient industrially.
The plan at Hammond is based
on a full realization of modern
social and industrial conditions.
Procedure is made on the theory
that, while there are certain gen-
eral principles underlying all ed-
ucation, each community has its
own special problems that are
too often disregarded in the mak-
ing of the schools. Besides the
co-operative school and shop ar-
rangement, Hammond maintains
a night school with an atten-
dance of 700, where boys and
girls mav not only make up ele-
mentary deficiencies, but also
receive practical training in spec-
ific phases of commerce and in-
dustry.
Vocational guidance forms an-
other feature of the Hammond
plan. The schools furnish infor-
mation about the various indus-
tries in the community, the sal-
aries paid in different lines of
work, the opportunities for ad-
vancement, hours of labor, per-
meaning of the word) is success? j who serves God the best.
“Count that day lost, whose low de-
Some say “fame,” some say
“wealth,” some say both. But
people, success is none of these
things; it is the fulfillment of our
life dream. You know what I
mean by “life dream. ” Every-
one I think, has his dream. It
is rather a hard word to define,
but it means a great desire
which you would concentrate
your whole life to satisfy. For
instance, you are a young man or
woman, you have talent, and you
wish to become a great author
You want to be an author so
very badly that you concentrate
your whole life and time to the
accomplishment of that one ob-
ject. Your dreams when you
sleep are haunted with it. your
waking thoughts are filled with
it. It becomes a kind of dream
to push you onward and upward
till your dream is at last realized.
So that is what I mean by a “life
dream.”
Is a man a complete success if
he rises from obscurity to fame,
from poverty to wealth, even by
his own efforts? Nay, verily
he is not. For, say a man
has accumulated millions of dol-
mancy of employment, and all Jars and has lost his health, or,
scending sun
Views from thy hand, no worthy action
done.”
“We must not hope to be mowers
And gather the ripe gold ears,
Until we have first been sowers,
And watered the furrows with
tears. ’’
To quote from the Bible,
‘ ‘What profiteth a man if he gain-
ed the whole world and lose his
own soul.”
So after all success is but the
realization of our life dream.
