Last year so completely disgust-
ed one Oklahoma farmer, that he
says there will not be even a roast
ing ear patch of corn on his farm
this year, unless his wife plants it.
Constipation is the cause of many
ailments that make life miserable.
Take Chamberlain’s Stomach and

Some farmers claim that in case
the summer should be wet kafir
corn will blast and' make no crop,
but there is very little danger of
the season being too wet. Kafir
corn will stand as much w et weath-
er as any other crop, but heavy
rains at the time of blossoming will
da ,iage the grain yield, and it will
corn also.
Do you know; that fully nine out
of every lea cases of rheumatism
are simply rheumatism of the mus-
cles due to cold or damp, or chronic
rheumatism, and require no inter-
nal treatment whatever? Apply
Chamberlain’s Liniment freely and
see how quickly it gives relief. For
sale by all dealers.
Out in the Panhandle of Oklaho-
ma, farmers are advised to plant
more cotton, as the southern plant-
ers are expecting to reduce their
acreage, and to plant less broom-
in order to secure a better price for
that crop. Probably the Kansas
farmer, hearing that the Panhandle
farmer is to reduce the acreage of
broomeorn, will plant more of that
crop and less corn, as it will in-
crease the price of corn. And so it
will go around the ct intry,
Bald Heads Not Wanted
Baldness is too Generally Considered
a Sign of Advanced Age
A bald headed person does not
have an equal chance with one
blessed with a healthy head of hair,
because baldness is too generally
accepted as an indication of age.
Many large corporations have es-
tablished an age limit, and refuse
to take men over 35 years of age as
new employees.
Probably 65 per cent of bald
headed people may regain a good
head of healthy hair if they will
follow our advice and accept our
offer. We have u remedy that we
positively guarantee to grow hair
on any head, unless the roots of the
hair are entirely dead, their fol-
licles closed and the scalp has be-
come glazed and shiny. We want
people to try this remedy at our
risk, with the distinct understand-
ing that unless it does exactly what
we claim it will, and gives satisfac-
tion in every respect, we shall make
no charg’e for the remedy used dur-
ing the trial.
We know exactly what we are
talking about, and with this offer
hack of our statements no one
should scoff, doubt our word, or
hesitate to put our remedy to an
actual test.
We want everyone in Okarche who

REPORT FILED WITH STATE IN-
SPECTORS CREATES SEN-
SATION.
Citizens Are Aroused—Court Act on
May Oe Taken to Compel Res-
titution of the Funds.
Oklahoma City, Okla.—Shortages,
discrepancies, irregularities and alleg-
ed improper payments made by the
county amounting in all to $56,268.18
are disclosed in a report on the coun
ty offices of Pottawatomie county, cov
erlng the period from November 16,
1907, to June 30, 1911, inclusive, filed
In the office of the state examiner and
inspector by L. id. Cahill and Robert
L. McClure, special deputy state ex-
aminers and inspectors, and approved
tiy Assistant Examiner and Inspector
Hugh Gcrner, acting in the absence of
Charjcs A. Taylor.
In addition to the above the report
shows that funding bonds have been
Issued by the county to cover the out-
standing judgment indebtedness in the
sum of $59,000; that while this was In-
tended to cover all of the outstanding
indebtedness of the county and place
the county on a cash basis, the county
till has a floating Indebtedness of $13,-
462.05 which was not included in the
bond, and fbr which no funds are avail-
able with which to make payment.
A large delegation of Pottawatomie
county citizens visited the office of the
eaamlner and inspector and examined
the report. While no definite state-
nient was made as to a future course
of action. It is intimated that action
may be instituted in the courts to com-
pel a refund of the money.
It is shown in the report that war-
rants have been.issued for large sums
in excess of the levies for various
years. The examiner and Inspector’s
office takes the position that if these
warrants are still unpaid, they are
void and that if they have been col-
lected by the parties to whom they
were Issued, recourse can he had upon
officers by whom they V ere issued.
The investigation was made upon
petition of certain taxpayers of Potta-
watomie county, and has occupied,***'-
eral months.

"Tax Ferret” Applies for Mandamus
Against Washington County.
Oklahoma City, Okla. An applies- j
tion for a writ, of mandamus to compel
John Johnston, treasurer of Washing-
ton county, to notify a number of tax- j
payers of that county that hack taxes
are due against them, as the result of
the investigation of a "tax ferret," has
been filed in the supreme court by
Attorney General Charles West on be-
half of G. L. Warson, tax ferret, em-
ployed by the county commissioners
of Washington county.
Warson, in his petition filed by the
attorney general, alleges that be was
employed by the commissioners to dis-
cover back taxes from 1908 to 1911,
inclusive, and was to receive 15 per
cent of the taxes collected ns his com-
mission and that he discovered prop-
erty that bad escaped taxation of a
total value of $800,000, mostly oil wells
and other oil property.
The petition further alleges that the
county treasurer refuses to notify the
delinquent tax payers to appear and
show cause why the amounts assessed
against them should not be spread on
the tax rolls for collection and the
mandamus is sought to compel him to 1
do so.

Ends First Year as Governor.
Oklahoma City, Okla.—"Howr does It
feel after being governor for Just one
year?” Governor Lee Cruce was asked
the other day. “All right," he replied,
"but I hope that all of the troubles
for the full term have gone into the
first year.” January 9, 1911, at noon,
Lee Cruce took the oath of office as
governor of Oklahoma, and during the
year he has been "on the Job" at all
times, with the exception of two weeks
when he attended the annual confer-
ence of governors In the east, Lieuten-
ant Governor J. J. McAlester acting
in bis stead. "It has been my aim to
serve the people of the state and not
the rktlitieians," said Governor Cruce.
And that this will be the policy pur-
sued by the chief executive for the
remaining three years of the term, he
declared further. It is the ambition of
the governor to leave the executive of-
fices three >ears hence with his prom-
ise of economy which lie made to the
people of Oklahoma during the cam-
paign fulfilled to the letter. Governor
Cruce received several letters con-
gratulating him on having rounded out
the first year successfully and com-
mending the course of action which
he has pursued, in spite of the oppo-
sition of politicians
