A Pleasant Surprise.
Saturday night, April 20th,
about seventy-five of the neigh-
bors and friends gathered at the
country home of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Smith and affected a very
pleasant surprise, the occasion
being Mrs. Smith’s 47th birthday
anniversary. Music, social con-
verse, etc., were indulged in un-
til about midnight when oysters
were enjoyed, pie and cake was
served and big red apples were
passed, after which all present
departed for their respective
homes wishing Mrs. Smith many
happy returns of the event.

Sanitary Soda Fountain.
I have installed in my Red
Cross Drug Store A SANITARY
SODA FOUNTAIN, which is as
its name implies—sanitary in ev-
ery particular. All syrups are
kept in glass containers, no con-
tact with metal at any time. The
work board and drainage boards
are of solid silver, no possible
chance of contamination. My
fountain will be in charge of Mr.
W. G. Highwood who bears the
reputation of being the most ex-
pert dispenser and the most up-
to-date manufacturer of syrups
and flavors in Kansas City or the
west.
My ice cream will be the best,
my parlor strictly private, and
the service the best that can be
procured.

Bank of Buffalo
A Farmer’s Institution.
Mr. Farmer, do you do youf business through a
Bank? If not, why don’t you?
There was a time when the Bank was considered bene-
ficial only to the capitalist. The present day sees it of
equal benefit to all and a necessity for the practical far-
mer. There are farmers who have not yet learned the
convenience, safety and profit that a bank account affords,
but those now using it are accepted as up-to-date, thrifty,
business-like. Not alone as a safe and convenient place to
leave his money, but as an ever-ready resort in case of ne-
cessity of financial assistance does the average farmer
view his bank.
This Bank is especially interested in the affairs of
the farmer and it ever looks to their con-
venience and necessities.
We are not only pleased to receive your deposits, which
are guaranteed, but to lend ours upon unquestioned secur-
ity. We will accommodate you in any way that is consis-
tent with conservative banking.

It’s practically impossible for a

Too often it is the things we

It is calculated by Prof. John
Bosler that the world is at least
710,000,000 years old. That is

Announcement has been made
of plans to establish the largest
exclusively negro town in Okla-

University City.
The state board of agriculture
has invited the legislators to visit
the demonstration farms in their
respective counties. The board
has asked the legislators to write j
their opinions of the farms. The i
object of this is to allow the leg- j
islators to see the work being
done.

I “Young man. don’t drift: row
| vour boat up stream, down
stream or across the stream, or
sail it if you will, in any definite
direction: but whatever you do
don’t drift." ' Strike while the
liron is hot" is a good motto, but
“Make the iron hot by striking"
is a better one.

Politics will soon be the para-
mount of the day. We will have
an opportunity to don our war
paint and march to field of bat-
tle. The guns of war will re-
sound from hill to hill—may it be
an honest battle. It behooves
us all as citizens of this great
commonwealth to pick out the
best candidates we can to - fill
each respective office, men of
intregity, men that will always
be found at their guns ready to
defend our rights and handle our
disbursements, in a fair and im-
partial way.
Concerns a Buffalo Citizen.
Since the first of January 1912,
H. W. Porth, of Winfield, Kans-
as, dealer in hedge posts, has
shipped 18,000 posts out of Kel-
log, Kansas, to various points in
Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and
Oklahoma.
Out of this number S. M.
Brown, a farmer of Buffalo, Har-
per county, Oklahoma, received
8,506, and has placed another
order for 3.000 more. Mr. Brown
has purchased these posts for
farmers of Harper county and
also for his own use. Mr. Brown
owns 320 acres of fine land in
Harper county and takes this
plan of helping his neighbor far-
mer. as he believes in substan-
tial fencing with reasonable
prices to the farmer for same.
Mr. Brown is one or the first
settlers of Harper county, hav-
ing lived there for the past ten
years. He says his wheat never
looked nicer, and the farmers
have smiles on their faces, after
all the hard winter and deer
snow. Stock are looking fairly
well, considering the hard win-
ter. Mr. Brown says Buffalo is
a booming good town, for not
having a railroad, but the pros-
pects for same are good. H. W.
Porth.

LARRY.
Oklahoma's First 1912 Crop.
Alfalfa is being cut in the
southern counties of Oklahoma.
At the same moment when the
velvety green forage is being
clipped from the fertile fields of
Oklahoma, the farms of the north
are yet covered in many places
with snow, there is no thought
yet of planting and the livestock
of some of the states north of us
will need to be fed on the Okla-
homa alfalfa hay which now is
being cured for shipment in car-
loads to points where no alfalfa
will he ready for the steer and
the hog for ninety days.
Great is Oklahoma. Almost
before we have ceased talking of
the dry times which prevailed in
some parts of the state during
the last growing season, a crop
is being prepared for market.
It is the first crop of 1912 in Ok-
lahoma.
Two weeks from today the al-
falfa fields all over the state will
be in the hands otethe haymakers.
Travelers on the railroads of the
state returned to this city yester-
day bearing the cheerful news
that the alfalfa farms of the
state were rich in the green
which characterizes the ripening
alfalfa that is becoming one of
Oklahoma’s famous wealth pro-
ducers.
Before the alfalfa is well out
of the way, the harvesters will
make things hum with their ma-
chinery and the Oklahoma wheat
fields, in their golden colors, will
wave under the rays of the south-
ern sun, and the Oklahoma
wheat harvest will be on.
From this time until Christmas
day, a steady revenue will come
to Oklahoma. It will be a reve-
nue which will interest every
person in the state. Great is
Oklahoma and marvelous is Okla-
homa as an agricultural state.
The year 1912 will be Oklahoma’s
greatest year.—Oklahoman.
harvest Machinery Needs.
“Farmers,” look your harvest-
ing machines over carefully, and
take down the numbers of the
repairs you are going to need, be
sure you have the right number.
In making order for canvas,
measure the width and length of
the old canvas. It is necessary
for the orders to be in not later
than May 15th.
I handle repairs for the Mc-
Cormick, Deering, Champion,
Millwaukee, Plano and Jones
machines, but do not keep re-
pairs in stock for the Plano.
Millwaukee or Jones, and a very
few for the Champion, and it is
very necessary that you look
after them early.
Respectfully.
