Ing OF his experiences at the world's

there were great many Oklahoma
farmers present. lie says he could have
called 200 or 300 farmers In the crowu

York man said to him that he was sur.
prised at the greatnumber Of the middle
class from Oklahoma present at the fair
These words middle class" knocked the
governor ont OF the box. and he said to
the New York man: why, We have no

banks, aud out there they are it. II
you were In Oklahoma you would be
compelled to give those fellows half the
road. The idea never entered their heads
that anybody Is any better than they
are" He said the New York man was
more surprised when he told him that
the smallest farms In Oklahoma were
80 acres, and that the great majority OF
farms were 100 acres, and that one
