PART OF COUNTY HIT BY HAIL
Crops Partially Destroyed, and
Wind Damages Buildings.
Hail, wind and rain brought
destruction to growing crops and
buildings that were in its path
between Gotebo and Hobart last
Saturday evening.
The strip of country hit in
Kiowa county was about ten
miles wide and started in Wash*
ita county and went southeast
through Kiowa.
Hail done the most damage
and growing crops in its path
were practically destroyed. Acres
of cotton was cut to the ground,
corn and other forage stuff was
stripped of its leayes, alfalfa and
wheat not cut were badly dam-
aged. Where cabbage was grow-
ing nothing was left but the
stock. Windows in the north
and east sides of houses were all
broken out, and in some places
the hail punctured holes in the
roofs.
The wind, which accompanied
the hail did much damage to
houses, barns and outbuildings.
Where wheat was in the shock
and alfalfa was cut the rain
washed much of it away and dis-
tributed it over several farms.
Hobart was not directly in the
path of the storm, yet the east
part of the town suffered some
loss to buildings. Nearly all the
buildings on the fair grounds
were blown down, the alfalfa
mill was crushed and is pilled on
top of the machinery. Four men
who were working or getting
ready to quit for the day sought
refuge under a freight car and
escaped injury. One of the men,
according to a Hobart paper, was
taking a bath and before he could
get his clothes on had to seek
a place of safety. The change
in temperature, due to wind and
to $75,000.00. This money is
being borrowed at 5 per cent
interest, and this low rate is
having a tremendous effect on
the rates of loan companies, and
already many of these companies
have lowered their rate from
10 per cent to 8 per cent, and in
some places the reduction is
greater.
The state may not loan as much
money on some security as the
borrowers desire because the
state has never sustained any
loss and under the low rate at
which loans are made should
not. Anyone desiring to make
a loan and having good security
should address G. A. Smith, Sec-
retary, Oklahoma City.

Richmond, Va.,
Mr. H. C. West,
Mountain View, Okla.
Dear Sir:
I have been a resident of Moun-
tain View for quite a number of
years, and formed the acquaint-
ance and friendship of many
good people, consequently it is
hard for me to sever all inter-
course right at once, and immedi-
ately, therefore will have to call
into play the help of the Tribune-
Progress in order to sober down
gracefully.
I hate to be abrupt in anything.
This is a great institution here
and it is the intention of the state
of Virginia to deal leniently with
these old fellows, but owing to
the perversity of human nature,
I am sorry to say there are some
individuals within these walls
that are living far beneath their
priviliges.
Richmond is a great and beauti-
ful city. Its parks, avenues and
boulevards are gems of the high-
est artistic skill. Its wealth and
business enterprise form a source
a flower. Jollity and fun reigned
during the guessing. How many
attended the wedding?" was the
greatest joke, for all forgot our
common annual, phlox, and
answered Seven Sisters. Mrs.
Bradley won the prize.
But the greatest eagerness and
excitement prevailed when the
bride unwrapped her gifts
brought to her by Master Karl
Kobs and little Miss Helen Ross
on a toy wagon beautifully decor-
ated in white and pink. I hese
colors harmonized so perfectly
with the bride’s lovely gown of
embroidered chiffon and silk in
an old rose shade.
Surely the kitchen will house
Mrs. Malone many of these sum-
mer hours, so tempting was the
display of aluminum, cut glass,
china and linen included among
the gifts. The most mirth-pro-
voking was the rug beater
designed, so said the ladies, not
only for its original purpose, but
for that of the proverbial broom-
stick and rolling pin.
The recipes included with the
gifts should make Mrs. Malone
the truest culinary artist in town
for she now possesses the prize
secrets of the best cooks in
Mountain View.
After dainty refreshments the
guests rose to depart hastened
by a shower—a real wet one—
which seemed to be approaching.
Miss Norma Schaefer presided
over the punch bowl during the
afternoon.
Thanks is due the hostesses
for the opportunity they gave
the many ladies present to show
their good will to Mrs. Malone
and their pleasure and satisfac-
tion in having this new home
established in Mountain View.

Wind Takes Small Barn.
During the.heavy rain of last
Friday evening, which was ac-
companied . by some wind, a
small barn on Wm. Underwood’s
farm was blown down. Mr. Un-
derwood had came in from the
field with one team to avoid the
rain and put the horses iu their
stall. That part of the barn
where they were tied was not
touched by the wind, but that
part of the building on each side
and the roof over them was torn
away.

sad when I saw so many fine
young men, offering themselves
as a sacrifice on their country’s

He certainly has my moral

Yours very truly,

The Gift Shower.
In this season of showers it
was but natural for one to come
last Saturday afternoon. Mrs.
Mannen and Mrs. Campbell
played the part of deae ex
machina and summoned many of
the ladies of the town to the
home of the latter with the com-
mand:
"For the bride, Mrs. Malone,elect,
You will please some gift select;
Something of your own choice,
That will make her heart rejoice;
You will please bring a recipe,
For the bride can't cook, you see."
The cool shade of lawn and
porch were most delightful to
the guests, warm with the heat
of the June sun. When the
group was complete attention
was called to a flower wedding,
the details of which were scat-
tered • around on hearts. . the
