SUNDAY SCHOOL REPORT
Following la a report of thr
Sunday school convention of Dis-
trict No. 1 of Cherokee county, held
at the Combs school house Sunday,
December 21 r
Convention called to order by J.
F. Chesney, vice president. Wel-
come address by Rev. Ed Combs.
Response by J. F. Ctiesney. A
short program was rendered by
Th  year of 1913 Is almost to a
close, and we wonder, as the end
draws near, what we have accom-
plished during the year, whether it
was worth our while or not. We
are also sure that we will avoid In
1914 the rocks that wrecked our
hopes in 1913.
We have all learned some lesson
during the past year.
I wonder how many were con-
vinced that better farming method*
pay? 1 know that there are many
farmers throughout Cherokee coun-
ty that know only the best methods
pay In farming as In any other kln^
of business. Wherever I go I find
them.
The work done by Mr. J. S. Ma-
lone In 1913 was the foundation
laid for greater prosperity in Chero-
kee county.
It Is my purpose, beginning the
first of the year, to hold meetings
throughout Cherokee county In the
interest of better farming, and to
organize the club *7ork of boys and
girls.
I want to meet everyone that is
interested In the work sometime In
the next month. It will be Im-
possible for me to hold a meeting in
each and every school house in the
county, so I will try and combine
two or more school house meetings
into one meeting.
If there is anyone Interested
enough In the work to have a meet-
ing held at your school house, will
vou please drop me a card telling
'me of the fact? I will send notices
of meetings Just as soon as I can
STILWELL, Okla., Dec. 24.—An
important new legal point was pass-
ed upon by Judge John A. Goodall
at Stilwell In Adair county Monday
In the probate case of John H. Dale,
guardian of Emina, Laura aud
Julia Sanders, minors.
The minor children own a half
undivided interest in and to the.
surplus allotments of their deceased
parents, Ell Sanders and Ada Sand-
ers. Dale was Induced to take out
letters of guardianship and make
ppl.cation for the sale of the h lf
interest owned by the minor cnil-
dren. The land had been produc-
ing oil since 1907. Dale never saw
the land and he did not know who
the appraisers were. He claims not
to have known that the land was
producing oil. He was merely put-
ty in the hands of Frank Blanck and
ills attorney, W. P. Harris. In-
stead of advertising the sale of the
land in a newspaper published In
Bartlesville, the advertisement was
inserted in the Ramona Herald,
published in a small town In the
extreme southern part of the coun-
ty, where It was thought no one
would see It.
The land was sold at Stilwell at
private sale, the half Interest In
one of the one hundred acre tracts
bringing $225, which was not paid,
because Blank, the purchaser, con-
tended that he purchased the ac-
cumulated royalty as well as the
land. More royalty had accumu-
lated than the purchase price
amounted to. The two-thirds In-
terest In the other one hundred
aero tract sold for $241.
W. W. Hastings, national at-
torney for the Cherokee Nation, and
C. F. Bliss, under Section 6404 or
the Revised Statutes of Oklahoma,
contended that if there was any
neglect or misconduct on the part of
the guardian through which the
minors suffered damage, then he
and his bond were liable. Repre-
senting the fullblood minors, they
Introduced proof to show that tun
land was worth at least $20 per
acre, or that each tract was worth
$2,000, and the court gave Judg-
ment in behalf of the minors not
for what the guardian sold the
land, $225 in one case and $24 r
in the other, but for the amount
which the testimony showed the
land to be worth, viz: $20 per acre,
or $2,000 for each tract, giving
judgment in favor of the mnors Tor
I their pro rata share thereof,
i This is a new legal point not
heretofore passed up, and it will
serve as a warning to all guardians
ln the future that they must see
to It when land is sold that there
la no collusion with the purchaser,
but that the guardian must use
every effort possible to see that tne
land brings Its true value.

Yours for better farming,

County Agent.
