and the wheat is In excellent condition.
Cotton is being brought in in large quan-
titles and this of itself will throw consid-
erable money in circulation. The pouring

On October 27th, among the applicants
for aid that presented themselves TO Secre-
tary Mckay, was a forlorn looking man,
the embodiment Of des titutton and des-
pair, dressed in an old torn coat made
from buffalo robe He gave his name as
n. b. Marks and his application stated
that his family consisted of wife and five
children, that he lived on 19-16-1 and
that his assets were absolutely nothing.
His application was ordered filed. Yes

Mr.. Mccoy and stated that he had no
further need of help as he had received a
back pension of s., 500 and that his fathers
estate had been divided, giving him SO, 900.
mostly in government bonds. The secre-
tary mildly suggested that he return in
money the equivalent for aid he had
already received. This he readily consented
to do. Such is life in Oklahoma.
Secretary Mckay is sending out notices
requesting all who draw aid on the 18th Of
November to bring in a load of wood to be
given to the destitute as a Thanksgiving
offering.
The supplies given out by the aid COM
mission are the best that can be obtained.
Mrs. E. J. Judah, formerly of Wichita,

dose of strap oil is what they most deserve.

NORMAN. Ok, Nov 4-This solid little
town is forging ahead very rapidly. The
streets are lined with wagons loaded with
cotton and the depot platforms covered
with bales of the same commodity. The
cotton is good in quality and brings fair
price. The country round about is princi
pGlly the valley of the Canadian river,
rich in alluvial deposit and well timbered.
he citizens are conservative, sterling peo-
pie. The town Is to be congratulated in
having in its midst an excellent pianist in
the person of Miss Murquont. She is the
pupil of Professor Metcalf of Wichita
and that she is credit to him goes with
out saying. Among the other musicians
DIR. Parks and Miss Kate Heddins take the
lead. No section of the territory has
furnished a more useful man to the legis- |
lature than has Norman. In Representa- |
tive Waggoner we have man of affairs, |
one who is willing to critically examine |
long bills and knows how to correct errors |
in their drafting. Money is quite easy as
most of the people of Cleveland county |
are comfortably situated. Cotton is the |
principal crop. But little wheat was
sOwn. In the near future Cleveland cOun- |
" will be one of the wealthiest counties of |
he territory
