ing men and women of the
United States in all the towns
and cities were born and reared
on farms. Merchants, lawyers,
physicians, ministers everywhere
are frequently country born and
reared. The country seems to
be a kind of seed bed of civiliza-
tion. The United States would
be in a bad way if the country
were to fail to raise this crop of
fine men and women to con-
tribute to the towns, the cities,
the Church and the State. A
the
farm is very important.
The farmers produce all the
meat, bread, butter, eggs, vege-
tables, fruits that the world eats.
They make the cotton, the wool,
the hides, and other material
out of which the world gets
clothing. Suppose all the farmers
were to move to town or go into
some other business, how long
would we all live? Suppose the
farmers were all to get sick, or
suppose they would become
physical weaklings, then what
would happen? Suppose by his
ignorance and carelessness he
would let the soil be worn out
or would destroy all the trees,
or suppose he would raise only
corn and cotton, what would be
the result? Very much surely
depends upon the farmer’s health
and strength, upon his ability to
preserve and improve the soil,
upon his knowledge of the best
crops to be raised, and especially
upon his willingness and desire
to remain upon the farm
Farmers could live without the
town people and city people, but
the city people could not live
without the farmers. City peo-
ple have good schools, good
libraries, Y. M. C. A.’s, amuse-
ments of all kinds, good streets,
good churches, street cars, lights
on streets by night, and many
conveniences and advantages.
These are possible because of
the large number of people who
live in the community.
The farmers seldom have good
schools; they have no libraries,
no Y. M. C. A.’s, very few
games, not many amusements,
bad roads in most places, no
lights by night, small churches
with no conveniences for the
Sunday Schools that run only a
few months in the year, preach-
ing in many places only once a
month, and very few social, lit-
erary and religious advantages.
Why is this true? One reason is
that the people are not numer-
ous euough to support the ad-
vantages which townspeople
have. Another reason is that
the farmers have not seen until
now the importance and the pos-
sibility of having these advan-
tages.
What could town people, men
and women, boys and girls, do
to give to the farmers and their
families some of the advantages
that they have? What about
good roads? Could townspeople
help in supplying libraries in the
country? Should the people in
the towns and cities see that
boys and girls on the farms have
schools just as good with just as
long a term as the schools of the
town? Should schools in the
country teach farming and cook-
ing and sewing? Should the
people of the country have to go
to town for their amusements
and entertainments? The peo-
ple on the farm should do al
they «an to make their communi-
ty life beautiful and satisfying
so that no one would want to
thing of soils and crops, and
how to make and keep a beauti
ful, comfortable home. But the
strength of the country life has
always been its moral character
and religious devotion. The
Sunday School and the Church
are the best institutions to train
joys and girls for noble manhood
and womanhood and to fit them
:’or useful lives in the world.
The farmers’ buggies and wagons
should carry the children to Sun-
day school every Sunday for the
entire year.—Sunday School
Quarterly.
CHEAP RAILROAD FARE TO TULSA.
J. W. NAPIER
Corner Fourth
mud Leahy Av.
Every railroad in Oklahoma
has made a special rate of one
and a third fares for the round
trip to Tulsa on April 24. This
is on account of the great state-
wide development and farm con-
ference to be held there that
day. Tickets will be sold at this
rate from every station in the
state on April 22, 23 and 24,
with a final return limit of April
26. It will be an open rate
which any one may take advan-
tage of whether he attends the
Tulsa meeting or not.
The program for the big ses-
sion is taking form. Three
meetings will be held. The
morning will be devoted to talks
concerning a permanent state-
wide organization for farm bet-
terment. The entire afternoon
will be given up to practical dis-
cussions on farm methods in
Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Board
of Control of the International
Dry-Farming Congress, consist-
ing of three members from each
county, will be formally organ-
ized at a 6 o’clock dinner. In
the evening addresses will be
made by a number of well known
men. Dr. Bradford Knapp,
head of. the farmers’ co-opera-
tive demonstration work in the
south, and Perry G. Holden, the
noted Iowa corn expert, are
among those invited to attend.
Special meetings are planned
for the women. Every farm
women’s institute in Oklahoma
has been asked to send delegates.
Tulsa is planning to entertain
the farmers and business men
of the state state and their fam-
ilies as well and arrangements
are being made to properly care
for two thousand delegates and
visitors.
GOING TO DENVER.
At a meeting of the Knights
Templar held last Thursday eve-
ning it was decided to designate
the Midland Valley and Missouri
Pacific railroads as the official
route for the Triennial Conclave
of Knights Templar to be held
in that city next August.
A special train will be run
composed of standard Pullman
cars which will leave Muskogee
on the afternoon of August 10th
and arrive at Denver the next
afternoon. Muskogee and Tulsa
lave also adopted this same
route as being the most direct,
as only one night will be spent
on the road. The cars will be
parked at Denver enabling those
who desire to sleep in them
should the hotels be over crowded.
The Midland Valley and Missouri
Pacific will issue a special folder
shortly giving complete details of
this trip.
Many of the families of the
Sir Knights will accompany them
on this trip and visit the places
of interest in Colorado.
For the next thirty days I will sell you
3 1-4 low wheel broad tire wagon, gear brake
and spring seat, all complete, for $75.
A Bain wagon, 3 1-4 inch complete for $85.
Buggies from $35 to $150 each.
Small Indian wagons from $40 to $45.
Single harness from $12 to $25.
Light double harness from $20 to $45.
Hacks, Carriages and everything in my line at
reduced prices.
Barbed wire, the heavy Galvanized cattle wire,
for $3.50 per cwt.
My warehouse is full and I must make room
for new goods. Now is the time to get bargains
in my line. Come and get your choice.
