who from necessity ar choice remain
at home and rest on their oars, wait-

Usually this period does not ex-

crops, the doubts and fears created
by the naurally overestimated claims
of damage and loss, had a most de-
pressing effect.
Shawnee is a great retail city, and
as such depends more heavily upon
the farmers lu the rich trade terri-
tory which surrounds It, than does
perhaps any other city in Oklahoma,
and any threat of Injury or loss to
the farmers In this county sends an
electric shock through the business
and financial circles in Shawnee.
The causes enumerated above have

which it Inaugurated.
This city and this county had ne-

that President Taft was the

said, was due to the adminis-
