The Last Day Of the Legislature.

The Last Day OF n Legislature.
Today will be the last day of
the legislature-the seventh that
Oklahoma has entertained. 1t
will mark the close of an assem-
bly, that has not beeni in any sem
sational sense remarkable, and
therein is its best recommend
alton. The legislatures that enact
the fewest laws are sometimes
the best. The legislatures that
create the least furore are some
times the most worthy of the peo-
pie who make them. 1t has been
frequently surmised that the ex-
piring Legislature is the probably
last assembly that Oklahoma will
have as a territory. tits prob
able that the members Of this
legislature have a feeling of that
sort. They are no doubt con-
WINGED that the creation of a state
from Oklahoma territory is a mat
ter of the near future. Among
the acts of this assembly there
are several measures that are for
the good of the people. There
are few if any that are of doubt
full utility. There has been a very
small element of the freak sort OF
legislation. There has been little
tendency to su%mptuary laws.
The city of Guthrie has been
glad to have the assembly OF
distinguished men here this win
ter. 1t has been trying to take
care of them in a fitting manner.
1t has hopes that in future years
these men of the seventh legis-
lative assembly will return to
Guthrie as the members of a
state legislature and enact laws
for one of the greatest of states
instead of the great territory OF
Oklahoma which is now being
legislated for.-StateC apital.

Youngheim Bros, the gents

an immense stock of goods for
their new store, which they will
soon open in the Campbell brick
building, on Broadway. These
gentlemen r progressive bust
ness men, who possess great
faith in the future of Anadarko,

new location will be a very pleas
ant one, and we predict for them
a continuation of the liberal pat
ronage which they have received
in the past.

The big day, to which the little
ones have looked forward for
weeks, has at last arrived, and
today they filed up in long lines
in front of that store, and await
ed their chances to get a "grab"
at the mammoth sack which con-
tanned all sorts of good things, in
the way of candy, nuts and fruit.
5000 cards were distributed a
few weeks ago, with the statement
that every purchase to the amount
of go cents would entitle the lit
tie ones to a 'grab." The result
was seen today, when hundreds
of cards were presented, with
amounts ranging from 90 cents to
$50 credited to the lucky holders.
The little ones enjoyed the novel;

ed with. their presents, and the
older persons were greatly anus
ed at the excitement displayed
by the little tots.

Disorder In a Convention.

Lawton' Ok, March 11-There
was almost a free-for-all fight in
the Republican convention at 2
O'Clock this morning when a res
olution was adopted %indorsing a
citizens ticket, made up of Re-
publicans and Democrats. The
climax of the meeting was when
the presiding officer ordered the
removal of Judge A. M. Hardy
from the building. Assisted by
his followers he resisted eject
ment, and finally won. Judge
Hardy is an ex-member Of con-
gress from Indiana. When in
dorsement of the citizens ticket
had been completed he led a
delegation of Re. lblicans from
the room. They met at another
building and nominated a straight
Republican ticket.

ArbOr Day Celebration.

The schools were out in almost
full force yesterday as it was Ar
Dor Day. The children and
teachers and a few of the citizens
went first to the west grounds.
The children as they marched
presented beautiful appearance.
The order was good. Our city
can well be proud of these child
rem. They were all full of en-
thusiasm.
Invocation was delivered by
Rev. Holt. Mr.. Thompson read
a portion of the Governors mes
sage, and America was sung.
Ethel Dewitt, Lora Smith, Ethel
Miller, Lenora Brown, Leatha
Wimberly and Forest Whitley
gave recitations.
The children from Miss Vida
mans room rendered a beautiful
song. After these exercises a
tree was planted. The children
then went to the other blocks and
trees were planted. Altogether
the day was pleasantly and
profitably observed.

The High Waters stin threaten.

At the Kansas City offices of
the Missouri Pacific railway it
was stated last evening that the
company's tracks had so far suf-
fered no damage from the high
waters of the Missouri river and
it was believed that the time of
greatest danger had passed. Ac-
cording to Geographic dispatches
from Lincoln, Neb., yesterday
afternoon the breaking of ice
gorges had threatened the COM
pany's main line between Kansas
City and Omaha for a distance of
several miles. Yesterdays trains
from Omaha arrived on schedule
time.
Patrick Conner, weather OBJ
server, predicted last night that
the rise in the Missouri river at
Kansas City between yesterday
morning and this morning would
amount to about two and one
half feet. This would bring the
river up to the fourteen foot
mark, which is seven feet below
the danger line. Mr.. Conner be-
lieves that by Saturday the river
will fali.-Star.

Day.

Today is Arbor Day, and all
over Oklahoma the school child
rem and property owners are
planting trees which in a few
years will be worth a great deal
to the school grounds, city resi-
dence lots, farmers, or roadsides
thus beautified. But the good
work should not stop with what
is done today. Any day for a
month or two can be very fitting
ly observed as an arbor day.
Good sized trees, suitable for
transplanting, may be had for a
small sum, and the little boys
around town would be glad to
earn a few dimes by bringing in
such trees from the timber. If
you didn't plant a tree today,
make up your mind to have an
extra session of this Arbor Day
business and plant a number of
them later on.

amount of money that could be

a canning factory at Anadarko to
use the vegetables that would
otherwise go to waste. We don't
want to tire those who are patient
enough to read our locals but the
need of a canning factory is so
pressing that we will mention it
again. We are glad to know the
question is being agitated and
hope it will be decided immedi-
ately, for there are hundreds of
farmers that could and would
raise immense quantities of things
a cannery would Use if they just
knew there would be a market
for them. A canning factory is
the only way to create a market
for them because freight rates
are 80 high on perishable goods
that they can't be shipped out
successfully and Caddo county
can not only raise as much as
her people would consume, but
can ship out canned goods and
bring money into the county in
stead of buying goods put up in
the north and east. Figures and
statistics are tiresome or we could
give some that might be a sur
prise to some as to the amount
spent for canned goods in other
states and consumed by our peo-
pie, in which case we not only pay
for the vegetables but high freight
1t was thoroughly demonstrated
last summer that the vegetables
raised here are equal in quality
to the best. Let the farmers
know at once that there will be a
canning factory in Anadarko in
time to handle their vegetables
this summer and they will buy
all the garden seed the merchants
have on hand in a week.

"BUGG AND YARD"
Cause Trouble, Expense and Delay
In Holding Up The School
Buildings.
From Fridays Daily.

Some few weeks ago, the plans,
specifications, bonds. etc., for
the school buildings were for
warded to the Governor for his
approval, and from the Governor
they should have gone to the
Secretary of the Interior for his
approval, and the work would
soon have begun on the buildings.
This was what every citizen who
has the interests of Anadarko at
heart, hoped for, but a few days
ago, Mr.. Burgett, secretary of the
school board, received a letter
from Gov. Ferguson stating that
he had received a letter from a
Mr.. Yards member of the board,
making some very serious charg-
es against the architect, contract
or, and incidently against six
members of the school board.
One Of his charges was that of
"collusion" between the archi-
tect and contractor. The Cover
nor upon receipt of the above
letter wrote Mr.. Bugg in regard
to the matter. Mr.. Bugg's let
ter to the Governor did not help
matters in the least, judging
from what he says in answer to
the Governors letter. Yesterday
the school board held a meeting
and decided to send a committee
to see the Governor and also take
the man Yard with them. The
committee, P. c. Stacy, j. o.
Burgett, L. M. Spivey and
Mr.. Yard left on the 6 o'clock
train for Guthrie last evening.
Our citizens are very indignant
over the matter but we feel conf
dent as soon as the Governor gets
one look at this man Yard, he
will see that there is not one word
of truth in his claim of ''collus-
ion." 1t is a shame and an out
rage upon our property owners
and business men to allow a man
who is unknown, and COMPARE
lively speaking, has no interest
in the welfare of the city to retard
the growth and progress of our
school buildings. Why does Mr..
Yard write the Governor? Who
is he? What property interests
has he? How did he happen to
be a member of the school board?
In answer to the first question we
will say he simply wanted a little
notoriety. We understand he
has no children. and only a few
weeks ago he was appointed a
member of the school board to
fill a vacancy until the April cleo
ton.
On the school board we have
G. W. Milne, L. M. Spivey, j. o.
Burgett, P. C. Stacey, j. T. Hoov-
er and Mr.. Clary, all prominent
business men of our city, and
thoroughly familiar with all the
facts. Why did they not feel
called upon to write a letter to
the Governor? Simply because
they have the interest of our
schools at heart and are not af-
ter cheap motor iety. We ask the
voters of the city in the spring
election to be careful in their Sc
lection of members of the school
board. We want business men
and not cranks to look after ouI
school affairs.

his steps. 1 Peter: II: XXI.
Few days have been of more
interest in the worlds history
than that one, peaceful and glor-
ious, when the humble citizen of
Nazareth appeared at the ford on
Jordan near Bethabora and re-
quested baptism at the hands Of
John the Baptist. Because that
was thebegining of those years of
intense public service. 1t has been
taught that the path Of Christ be-
gan here;that the steps referred to
by Peter began at the Jordan, it
has been said that the previous
thirty years were in shadow. Not
so. Volumes are sometimes
compressed into a sentence.
Luke has shown this marvellous
power. Eighteen years of the
Christ life are as plainly pictured
in n verse as they could be in
a volume. HE went down with
them, and came to Nazareth and
was subject unto them.'' And
Jesus increased in stature and
wisdom, and in favor with God
and man."
To follow His steps makes it
necessary to know the path from
the beginning. That the beginning
is boyhood is evident if symmetry
is desired.
Horticulturists have a funda-
mental precept: do not cut away
big limbs, remove the twig, then
there is no wound from saw or ak
which the bark will not cover but
which allows decay and mars.
Here nature teaches in harmony
with the word, train the child.
Christ, the pattern of childhood

heart culture.
How He did it we may not
know; How we may do it we do
know. First in the home,
with all its blessed influences, if
it is the right kind of a home.
AS Christ leaves a path of
light from Jordan what do we
see? Trust, loyalty, love, benev-
olence. Why this teaching? For
our good and for others good, to
make us happy and useful.
AS He would make us happy
are not the poets words true:
Everywhere the heart awake
Finds what pleasure it can
make;
Everywhere the light and shade
By the gazer's eye is made.
In ourselves the sunshine dwells,
From ourselves the music swells,
BY ourselves our lives are fed,
With sweet OF bitter daily bread"
For those who follow Jesus
every year will be happier. DR..
Stors said before closing his re-
markable ministry: Life on
earth grows better and sweeter
as one goes on in it," To make
us more useful here, we must see,
!, is the real cause of the exhorta-
ton.
1. AS a restraining influence
against evil.
2. AS an attractive force, so
much easier to draw than to drive
and more effective.
8, AS an inducement to good
stewardship in the field of bene-
ficence.
Christ's love was overlooking.
He gives not only bread and
clothes and light and air, but a
thousand things to please; the
home redolent with love and joy;
the birds to sing; the flowers to
bloom and sweeten.
