CUSTOM MILL SUPPLYING
LUMBER FOR FARM HOMES
Stillwater, March 1.—In spite of a
crop shortage in 1921, farmers of the
Corrine community In Pushmataha
county are finding a way to make an
unusual nuimber of substantial im-
provements, including thfe erection of
houses, barns and fences, according
to a reoprt which George Innes, farm
demonstration agent, has sent to the
Extension Division of Oklahoma Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical College.
The way is by Imaking use of the cus-
tom mill practice in the manufacture
of lumber.
Ordinarily, Innes says, land owners
in that heavily timbered district
waste thousands upon thousands of
feet of valuable lumber and fuel
when clearing out new fields simply
because they deaden the trees, then
burn them where they stand. The
reason has been that the cost of cut-
ting and shipping has imade market-
ing prohibitive. Even now, freight
rates prevent the shipping of wood at
a profit.
But, by making custom . mill ar-
rangements with small lumber plants
in that section, the farmers this year
have turned the clearing of fields to
profitable advantage in securing lum-
ber for their own use. Mills are tak-
ing the logs which farmers haul in,
cutting them up into lumber and di-
viding the finished product on a share
basis.
One result is that picket fences are
coming back into vogue in the Cor-
rine community. Chicken fences, hog
fences and cattle fences, Innes says,
all are being built of custom made
pailings. Many new farm houses,
are being constructed. Innes cites the
case of one farmer who built a large
barn at an actual outlay in money of
only J25. That represented only the
hardware—nails, hinges, etc.—he had
to purchase. The rest of the (mater-
ial, even shingles, was grown on his
land. He did the work himself.
GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM
TO TAHLEQUAH MEET
The Stigler high school girls' bas-
ket ball teaim left this morning for
Tahlequah to take part in the North-
eastern basketball invitation meet
held there Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday of this week.
The girls are thoroughly practiccd
and no doubt are favorites to win
the championship cup. Miss Mar-
jorie Callaway, coach, who accom-
panied the team, believes very strtmg
ly that S. H. S. will carry off honors.
Some of the teams to be at this
meet are Council Hill, Porum, Keota,
Stigler and others. Watch for win-
ner in this paper next week.
O. V. Hall returned home Tuesday
from a trip to Elk City, Okla., where
he visited with friends and relatives
a few days. Mrs. Hall and children
will remain in Elk City for several
days.
STIGLER WINS DEBATE.
Last Friday night Stigler high
school debating team, composed of
Earl Cunningham, Nat Henderson
and Leo Conard, won the debate by

ing. The debate was well attended

The question: "Resolved, That the
Open Shop Policy should be adopted

nied it. Stigler High is in the race
for state honors and has one of the
best teams in the state. Stigler will

JOE M. ANDERSON
Joe M. Anderson, present deputy
tax assessor, this week announces
himself as a candidate for County
Clerk of Haskell County, subject to
the action of the Democratic Primary
August 1.
Mr. Anderson is widely and favor-
ably known in this county, having
grown from childhood to manhood in
and around Stigler, and for the past
three years has been deputy tax as-
sessor and has become acquainted
with practically every property owner
in the county.
Joe was a student in the Stigler
high school when the World War
broke out. He quit his studies and
entered the army, serving overseas
with the Fourth division.
He has had quite a bit of expert- (
ence with the county records and is
familiar with the duties of the office
to which he aspires. He is fully
qualified and comeptent to take care
of the office economically, and his
honesty and trustworthiness have
never been questioned.
Joe has always been a democrat,
and it is on that ticket that he asks
your support In the primary. He
will probably make a campaign of the
county later, when he hopes to meet
each voter personally, but the duties
of his office now are such that he will
not be able to be out much of the
time. Should he fail to see you per-
sonally, he wishes to use this method
of soliciting your vote and influence,
promising to make the best and most
efficient county officer that , is within
his power.
