REUNION

Oklahoma, which Is always doing some
thing new and always growing big crops
and whooping things up in general, has
started a new idea. The G. A. r. of the
territory will take a corn and wheat ex-

Der. Department Commander ]. ]. s.
Hassler of Enid. has issued call to the
various posts in which he says!
''It has been suggested by many COM
rades throughout the department of the
G. A r. Of Oklahoma that an exhibit of
the various agricultural products of the
territory be made at the national encamp-
mnnt at Philadelphia in September. The

especially favored in her agricultural prod
nets and fruits this season, and goo1
exhibit, such as the comrades can easily
supply. will be of vast benefit 80 the ter
rltory. We desire that contrtbu ions CT
the various cereals, fruits. melons, etc,
that go to make up this EXHIBIT, be from
oil comrades, as it is the desire OF the
department offices to show the people Of
the east what the Old comrades can grow
in Oklahoma. Let each post collect from
its members, and from old soldiers who
are not members of the post, the best
samples of wheat, oats, corn, barley.
peaches, apples, grapes and melons, and
hold the same, subject to orders from de-
partnent headquarters, and let the adju-
tant Of each post notify the assistant ad-
jutant general not later than Angus. =,
what kinds and amounts of samples he has
collected. Each sample should be labeled
with the growers name, company. regi-
ment and locatior. These. in the aggrc-

until picked up by neighbors. The Mon
mouth Daily Review says Of the accident:
Charles A. Musselman and Charles A.
HIatton Of Wichita, Kan, rode through
Monmouth on a tandem yesterday. This
morning Hatten was back hardly looking
like the same man. His face was skinned
and plastered and he had q little limp.
His partner was being cared for at farm
house and was still worse off.
The two had met with an accident on
the Winbigler hill about six miles north.
They were making the descent and were
going at a good clip when the stem OF
the front forks broke and ditched them in
a second. They lit hard and Hatton was
made unconscious and Musselman was
knocked silly. They were still lying In
the road when neighbors came along and
xicked them up, both OF them unconscious.
They had the wounds. which were not

transferred to Blackwell and entered upon
his duties last night.
