Reject Bid For Excessive Loan.
Oklahoma City.—Commissioners of
the land office at a special meeting in
the governor’s office voted unanimous-
ly to reject the application of Sam
St. Mary, A. C. and W. L. Phelps of
Oklahoma City for a loan of $5,600
from the permanent common school
fund on 480 acres of land near Nor-
man, in Cleveland county.
The loan was refused Because the
land on which it was to be made was
not worth the amount asked for, in
the opinion of a majority of the com-
missioners.
The application for the loan was
made to the school land department
on Sept. 7. The following day Cam
, Gault, for the past six or seven years
an employe of the school land depart-
ment. went to Cleveland county and
appraised the land at $11,200. On
Sept. 14 the loan was approved by the
commissioners.
Before the money was paid over to
the Messrs. Phelps and St. Mary,
however, the attention of the com-
missioners was called to the land with
the request that further investigation
be made before giving final approval
of the loan. (Payment of the money
was then ordered suspended bv the
commissioners pending investigation.
In the meantime all or the commis-
sioners. with the exoeption of Gover-
nor Lee Cruce and State Superin-
tendent R. H. Wilson made a per-
sonal investigation, and determined the
land was not worth the amount of the
loan. Secretary Jonn R. Williams
placed a valuation of $3,000 on the en-
tire 480 acres. State Auditor Joe Mc-
Clelland, who accompanied him to
Norman, said he thought the land was
not worth any more than $3,000. Other
members of the commission, except
the governor and Mr. Wilson, said the
land was worth about $10 an acre.
It was decided by the commission-
ers that a special investigation be
made of all loans macre on land ap-
praised by Gault to determine wheth-
er they have been in regular form and
accordance with rules of the depart-
ment.
Kirby Fitzpatrick, who is the exam-
iner of titles for the department, told
the commissioners at the hearing that
the loan had been put inrough the de-
partment by him in unusually quick
time, and ahead of other applications
on file with the department. Mr.Fitz-
Patrick said he was a personal friend
of the Messrs. Phelps.
Getting Down to Business.
"Are you as perfect physically as
you seem to be?” he asked.
“Certainly,” she replied.
"Has there ever been any Insanity
in your family?"
"Never.”
“Have you a depraved taste of any
kind?”
"Certainly not.”
“Are your teeth in good condition
and do you see and hear perfectly?"
"Yes.”
"Are you ever bothered by insomnia
or headache or indigestion?”
“Not at all.”
"Thank heaven. Now let's make
love a little while.”—Chicago Herald.

THE WHEAT CROP ALONE WILL
BE WORTH UPWARDS OF
ONE HUNDRED MIL-
LION DOLLARS.
The yield of wheat in Western Cana-
da for 1914 is now Bafely estimated at
135 million bushels. This is not as
large as in 1913 but for various rea-
sons will net the farmer considerably
more money. Had it not been for
drought that struck some portions of
Southern Alberta and Southwestern
Saskatchewan, shortly after seeding,
there would have been a phenomenal
crop and with present prices there
would have been a year of un-
precedented prosperity. In a large
district of the country the crops are
Proposes Uniform Grade Crossings.
The state highway department has
just issued a bulletin, proposing a plan
for constructing the highways near
approaches to grade highway cross-
ings over railroad tracks throughout
the state.
The proposed plan would establish
a level crossing fifteen feet each side
of the rail, and a 5 per cent grade
leading up or down from the track.
This would make the crossings level
with the rest of the highway.
Establishment of uniform rules for
grade crossings is now before the cor-
poration commission. A general in-
spection lour over the lines of every
railroad in the state by representa-
tives of the highway department, rail-
roads and the corporation commission
Is no wbeing planned. The advisabil-
ity of carrying out the plan of the
highway department will be consid-
ered during the inspection tour.
The agitation -for better and safer
grade crossings is the result of the
large number of fatal accidents which
occur every year on railway cross-
ings, Tn most Instances, it is said, the
accidents are due to unsafe condi-
tions at crossings.

The natural resources of the coun-
try are so vast that they cannot be
told In mere figures. Man can only
tell of what tiny portions have done.
He can only say "I am more prosper-
ous than I ever expected to be.” And
yet if a farmer expects to succeed on
land that he has been forced to pay
$50 to $100 an acre for, he ought to
feel assured of attaining prosperity
when he finds the richest prairie soil
at his disposal absolutely free. If be

—he will find himself ten years ahead
of the game. Some day such a chance
will not be found anywhere on the
face of the globe. But now the same
opportunities await you as awaited the
pioneer and not one hundredth part
of the difficulties he encountered and
overcame. Success In Canada is made
up of two things, natural resources
and human labor. Canada has the one
and you have the other.
Content to Remain In Scotland.
An extremely self-important middle-
class Londoner, visiting Scotland for
the firBt time in his life, volunteered
to a kindly but sharp old Highlander
that no Englishman could ever find
Scotland anything but a place to leave
—and that rapidly.

One Way to Lengthen Life
Late in life, when the organs begin to
weaken, the hard-working kidneys often
tire out first.
Failing eyesight, stiff, achy joints,
rheumatic pains, lame baek and distress-

kidneys.
Prevention is the best cure and at mid-

have prompt attention.
