Oklahoma enjoys the unique distinc-
tion of being the only state or territory
east of the Rocky mountains which
produced more wheat in 1899 than in
1898. The government statistician at
Washington gives Oklahoma credit for
1,21S,OOO acres in winter wheat and a
crop of 1920, 900 bushels. Only 12 of
the 4G states of the union raised more
wheat than Oklahoma did this year.
The prominent grain states which
produces less than Oklahoma are Mis-
souri,, Illinois, slichigan, Kentucky,
Tennessee, MARYLAND and Texas.

Augustus Rice, Of Cleveland, aged IS
years, of stalwart form, a sailor, and
steeple climber, while en- route from
Green Bay, Wis, TO Baltimore to board
ship, was run over by a train at Sand
patch and his foot crushed. Rice is
tattoocd from head to foot. On the leg,
just above the crushed foot, is a beau
tiful tattoo representing the stars and
stripes. He begged the doctors piteous-
" not to mutilate the stars and stripes,
saying: please save the old flag, love
it," just as he was overcome by the
anaesthetic. The doctors were able to
make amputation just below the en-
blem, and when Rice recovered con-
sciousness he shouted with JOY to know
that the flag was saved.

Waste in Cornfields.

The editor of Wallace's Farmer com
putes that Iowa loses Ss,OOO,OO0 a year
in ungathered cornstalks. In making
this estimate he puts the value of the
cornstalks at the low rate of one dollar
an acre. On the same basis of valua-
ton how much do Minnesota and the
Dakotas lose? Would not the sum at
least reach the million mark? Such loss
is appalling. In the corn beltit reaches
a prodigious sum. 1t must be stopped.
No nation, however prosperous, can af-
ford TO waste the gifts of kind Provi-
dence. The man who only cuts half
his hay would soon be dealt with by
the authorities. But where is the diff
ference in such a course and in leaving
cornstalks ungathered? The excuse
made for not cutting cornstaiks is the
scarcity and dearness of labor. The
remedy is not an impossible one. Grow
less corn and turn up some other kind
of food that can be harvested at some
other season. The ability to grow so
much corn is fraught with promise to
the live stock interests of the country.
1t means that two or three times as
much live stock will some day be grown
as we have at the present time.

Mrs. j. c. Croly, who has just rounded
her 70 years, is the literal embodiment
of the woman's movement, being not
only the progenitor of woman's club
dom, but the pioneer press woman of
the country, says the New York
World. Few of her contemporaries
know that her pen name, Jennie
June" is one of the sweetest reminis-
cences of her childhood. When she was
only 12 a gentleman who had been vis-
iting her family wrote to friend: "She
is the Juneist little girl l ever knew"
In after years when she made her first
adventure into print and sought for a
signature she remembered the quaint
fancy and promptly became Jennie
June"

the former proceedings by which Will
lam Goebel was declared governor and
J. c. w. Beckham lieutenant governor

In the session Of the joint assembly
Senator Triplett and Representative
Order voted against the ratification
resolutions. Mr.. Crider. in explana-

that there would be a full and fair tn

he had voted with the Democrats in
their former action, and did not think
ratification of these former proceed

The most important immediate ef-

ELECTION SURPRISES
In Tuesdays Municipal Contest
in Pennsylvania.
REPUBLICANS LEAD IN READING

That Party VIII Have n Majority of
Two An the CounciI-The Potter
County ProhibItory Law Repealed
by Popular Vote.
Philadelphia, Feb. 21.-The election
In this city yesterday brought out a
much heavier vote than is usually
polled at the spring elections, notwith-
standing the fact that none of the
higher or administrative executive Of
ncers were to be selected. The inter-
estlng feature of the day was the vot-
ing Tor 10 committing magistrates.
Many or the wards voted for city coun-
cilmen, school directors and other
minor oficials, but only ordinary in
terest was conferred therein. The
electors OF the entire city participated
only In the selection of the magis-
trates. The heavy vote cast was the
result OF the efforts of the Mupicipal
League to defeat the candidates of the
TWO regular parties. Although Is were
TO be chosen, each elector was entitled
10 vote for but ten, the law thus pro-
Yloing for minority representation.
The Republicans had in the field ten
candidates and the Democrats six,
Inc returns show the election OF the
ten Republican candidates for magis-
Irate-Messrs. South, Cunningham,
smith, Gillespie, Harrison, Kocher-
sperger, Alderman, Stratton, Wagner
and Pullinger. The other six leaders
are O'Brien Democratic and Munich
pal League), Lloyd (Democratic).
Toughill Democratic), Ladner, Eisen-
brown and Jermon (MunicipaI League).
In Reading the Republicans secured
II councilmen and the Democrats five.
The Republicans will have a majority
OF Two. This is the biggest political
revolution in Reading in years.
In Coudersport the Potter county
speclai prohibitory law, passed ever
~ years ago, was voted for repeal by
from 1000 to 1900 majority. The
special act for Coudersport borough
was carried for no repeal by % ma
Jority. This means that Potter county
VIII fall in line with the rest of the
state under the Brooks license law and
Coudersport borough will remain dry
under its special act.
