Stroud Messenger: one OF our best

found young potato in his patch about
the size OF & sparrows egg which he left
81 the store. While out on the street
he met a fellow aud told him that he
had found a new potato as large as
quails egg: 10 the next fellow he met
by way of passing the day he mentioned
that he had found a potato as large as
a good-sized hickory nut. OF course, IL
was natural 20 tell the next one that the
potato in question was as large as
walnut. He finally wound up by telling
two people at the postoffice about the
new potato which was as large as hens

homes bill went through The Oklahoma
delegate was so keyed up that he came
very nearly collapsing physically. IT has
been the same way with the statehood
measure, although he has cared less for
this measure than for free homes. In
the statehood bill, three territories were
interested and men were working hard
for il in addition TO Flynn. but Flynn
worked so hard and unlaggingly that in
Washington he is getting the credit for
being at the head OF the hight, and Is
being congra tulated on the victory that
was gained in spite Of the opposition Of
the house leaders.
