Norman Transcript: We are just home
from a visit to the north and northwest
"a delightful visit indeed. But It is GER
tain we have seen no part of the country
that excels Oklahoma for crops nor as
country for a home or for business. Ok
iahoma Is Acknowledged by abby every
speaker and every paper-as a garden
spot OF the world, and all they pretended
TO say against US was, 1--WE don't have
any cyclones" That seems to be the only
argument they can use. Evidently they
think we have cyclones for breakfast,
dinner and supper, with two or three
thrown in between meals. To the average
citizen of the states, 1t was amusing to
see the stress they laid upon this fea-
ture-when, not once in a dozen years,
does a cyclone visit Oklahoma or any
other one OF the states. We would much
rather take our chances of a cyclone all
our nfe than TO endure the pest of their
mosquitoes for one week-mosquitoes that
cover one completely and make life
burden.
