John Brown Dead
Word was received here Tuesday
morning that John Brown, a former
resident of Rocky and an old timer
in this community, fell dead at Cor-
dell while sitting in a chair reading.
Mr. Brown leaves a wife and five
children to mourn his loss. His many
friends of this community will be sad
to learn of his untimely death.

ITS TIME TO REPAIR.
It’s getting about time to drag out
that old incubator which has been
stored away for the past nine months,
and brush off the dust and clean up
that greasy spot on top, look about
the screen being loose on the egg
!trays, if so nail it back, put in a new
wick in the lamp, and fill it with oil.
It might be a good idea to examine
| the thermostat that regulates the
Idamper and get everything ready. We ^ Mitchum will engage in there,

M. F. Gatliff bought Mr. Pat
Mitchum’s interest in the City Barber
Shop the early part of last week, and
Mr. Mitchum left shortly for Califor-
nia. It is not known what business
in Oklahoma than in the year 1922,
as our state has for the past ten years
been steadily on the increase in the
poultry business. This is shown in
the following figures:
In the year 1910 only 88.t'/c of the
total number of farms had poultry,
and it is now’ estimated that fully
957c of all farms have chickens. In
the year 1920 there were 11,932,584
chickens in Oklahoma. This is an in-
crease of over 3,500,000 as compared
with the year 1910. Even between
the years 1919 and 1920 there was
reported an increase of over 800,000
fowls.
In 1920 Oklahoma produced a total
of 45,500,000 dozens of eggs, which
was valued at approximately $16,090,-
000.00. This was nearly two find
one-half times greater than in the
year 1910.
According to our State BoaTd of
success, as he has always done.
OH RAIN WHERE
ART THOU?
Rain is much needed in theis sec-
tion of the country. The wheat is
not suffering yet but the ground is
beginning to get hard. Unless we get
rain or snow in a short time the
wheat crop will begin to suffer and
farmers will be delayed in getting
their ground ready for oats and cot-
ton, which will have an increased
acerage in this part of the state this
year.
