FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH.
A Serious Mistake Which Thou
sands Are Making.

The first stage of catarrh is what is
commonly known as catching cold" 1t
may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs.
Its beginning is sometimes so severe as
to cause chill and considerable fever, or
st may be so slight as to not hinder person
from his usual business. In perhaps
majority of cases little o. no attention is
paid to the first stage of catarrh, and hence
it is that nearly one-half of the people have
chronic catarrh in some form.
To neglect a cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. AS soon as any one discovers

FOR GOVERNMENT BUILDING.
Shawnee Thinks X Should Have About
S1CO,O0O.

Shawnee, o. T., Dec. 14-One of fthe
needs Of Shawnee, says the Quill. is Il
government building for postoffice and
other purposes, and movement in this
direction is being revived. Last congress
Delegate Flynn attempted to secure an
appropriation of $4,000 for this purpose.
but in the multitude of similar demands
made from this territory and elsewhere.
it failed to secure proper recognition and
was lost.
Postmaster McKinnis is now making
an effort to secure 100000 for building
purposes in Shawnee in order to secure
building OF sufficient size and commodi-
BUSINESS to accommodate the largely in
creased business of the jostoffiec, and
also be available for federal court and
like purposes.
In this effort Mr.. Mckinnis is ably
seconded by other gentlemen who know
well the needs of Shawnee in this direc
ton. and Delegate Mcguire has promised
his aid and assistance in the matter. and
in view of the fact that the need of such
q building is felt more acutely as the
postoffice and other federal business in
creases, it would seem that success should
crown the efforts now being made.

CORN GROWERS
ASSOCIATION
Charter Has Been Granted
with Offices at NeWkirk
TO HAVE A SCORE CARD

Grain Are Objects.
TO HAVE A SCORE CARD

Guthrie O.. T., Dec. 1.-THE Oklahoma
Corn Growers association has been
granted a charter by Territorial Secre-
tary Grimes, with the principal place of
business at Newkirk, and TO run for TWEEN
ty-five years. The incorporators, all well
known agriculturalists of the territory.
expect TINS to become one of the impor-
tant farmers organizations in the entire
west.
The chief purpose Of this association is
to promote the growth of corn in OKLA
homa and adjoining states, encourage the
improvement and breeding Of seed corn
and enable corn growers to secure pure
seed and improved seed. The incorpora-
tors figure that in this way Oklahoma
may be made one of the chief corn CEN
ters of the United States. In the Ar
kansas river valley, near Newkirk, the
average yield of corn this year was fifty
bushels per acre and some of it went
easily as high as sevepty-five bushels.
These are the figures of Ex-Governor w.
NJ. Jenkins Of Kaw City, one Of the lead
ing farmers of that locality.
The association would also establish
standard of perfection and perfect
score card for use in judging corn, pro-
vide of system of registration of known
and original varieties of corn and encour-
age better methods of selecting and car
ing for seed corn.
The association will hold conventions in
the counties Of the territory for instruc-
1ioh in corn judging and will issue GER
tificates of qualification to expert judges
of this grain; also will publish for the
benefit of the associations members all
matters of interests pertaining to the corn
plant. Such county conventions, together
with an annual territorial convention,
will be held whenever practicable.
The incorporators are j. o. Thomas,
member of the territorial board of agrf-
culture; William Howard Phelps and w.
c. Bardo, all of Newkirk, and the dean
of the Oklahoma experiment station at
Saltwater, who at present is Prof. John

found Lump of Gold and Hopes for
Bigger One.

Quinlan, o. T, Dec. 1f-While out hunt
ing last week Joseph Airhart shot a
quail that fell in the brush and while
searching for the quail he uncovered
chunk of metal that. from the shape and
weight, attracted his attention, says the
Mirror. He carried it out Of the brush
and scraped the dirt from it and it proved
TO be a lump of gold weighing one pound.
The metal had been melted and nodded
into a ball and either lost or hidden where
IT was found. Mr.. Airhart is greatly ex-
cited over his find and will search further
and try TO unearth the old Spanish treas
ure that was said to have been buried
somewhere in western Oklahoma by the
Spaniards years ago.
The path that was followed by the
soldiers in hiding the treasure was
marked by stones bearing peculiar marks.
These stones have been followed from
the old Mexico line nito Beaver county,
10 not more than forty miles from where
this ball was picked up and on direct
line with the find. There have been no
